Lingwu.

In front of the city wall, the craftsmen were extremely busy.

I saw giant Thunderbolt cars appearing one after another outside the city wall. At first glance, there were about eighty of them, but they were not satisfied yet and were still adding more.

These are not ordinary catapults with a single tip, but carts with multiple tips.

The soldiers used carriages to transport the stones and transported them to the catapult. Several burly men came forward, struggled to pick up the stones, and put them on the ladle step by step.

Liu Taozi led the troops and stood outside the catapult, squinting his eyes and staring at Lingwu City in the distance.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue building it?"

Liu Chengcai stood next to the green lion. He was not wearing armor. In such a cold season, he was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

"Unless it exceeds five hundred, the effect will not become more obvious."

"In the past few days, Yang Zhong is also leading the troops in the city to reinforce the city wall, and the troops from Xiazhou and Yanzhou have begun to gather. Brother, is it time to take action?"

After besieging Yang Zhong, Liu Taozi did not rush to attack the city, but spent a lot of time building siege equipment.

This time, he did not just build a ladder, but asked the military craftsmen to go all out to build a multi-tap catapult.

Although this era was overall absurd and weird, it was also the period when military technology developed most rapidly.

Warfare and usurping the throne have become the mainstream. Hundreds of years of melee have greatly developed many technologies such as cavalry, siege, and defense, including siege technology. Compared with the melee in the Later Han Dynasty, various technologies at this moment

Tactical techniques have improved a lot.

The ladder has become stronger. The ancient ladder was carried by soldiers to set up. Today's ladder is more like a ladder truck. It is pushed up to the city wall to directly form a gentle slope bridge. This is especially true for the catapult. From the original lightweight

The single-tip dump truck has developed step by step to the current single-tip movable dump truck, multi-tip short-arm medium-sized dump truck, and immovable multi-tip super-large dump truck. There are even rotating multi-aspect dump trucks.

Liu Taozi stared at the big "Yang" flag on the Lingwu city wall, her eyes becoming more and more fierce.

He drew the High King Sword.

The green lion seemed to feel the master's soaring fighting spirit. It rubbed its front hooves, eager to try.

"Prepare for war!!"

Liu Taozi yelled.

The army immediately changed its formation, the flag was raised, and the armies on three sides began to change their formation. The soldiers raised their large shields and quickly rushed to both sides of the cart. The knights were eager to try, and the crossbowmen raised their crossbows high.

Yang Zhong stood on the North Tower, looked at the Liu-character banner opposite, and drew his saber.

"Prepare for war!!!"

The crossbowmen took aim one after another. A burly man came to the wall stacks holding the same stone. Several crossbow carts moved slowly in the direction.

"Kill~~~"

Liu Taozi roared.

"boom!!!!!"

"boom!!!!"

The sound of the big throwing cart was like thunder, deafening. As the soldiers released the rope, the four throwing soldiers roared and exerted their strength at the same time.

The big rocks roared and flew towards the city wall.

"Boom~~"

The stones hit the battlements hard, and the city wall let out a scream, and the pieces flew out. The soldiers standing here were bloody and fell to the ground with howls.

The next moment, stones flew from the sky. The city wall was in a mess and broken everywhere. Soldiers roared, raised their big shields, rushed forward, and piled up the gaps with debris.

"put!!"

"boom!!!!"

"put!!"

A city wall on the west side suddenly began to shake after being hit many times.

Yao Xiong rode his war horse and looked at the gap excitedly, "That's right! That's right! That's right!"

"Boom~~"

A city wall suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers fell down with howls and were buried under the stones. Yao Xiong's face turned red, "Every soldier who throws away is rewarded!! There is a reward!!"

"kill!!!"

Yao Xiong roared and charged towards the gap.

Some generals had already arrived at the gap, and some soldiers quickly piled it up with debris.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

On the city wall, arrows were shot out and rained down all over the sky. The horses fell down wailing, and the knights fell one after another.

Yao Xiong raised his shield and led the knights towards the gap.

General Zhou roared angrily, and lined up a row of powerful crossbows. He fired a volley at the charging knights. After the first row finished firing, he quickly squatted down, and the second row fired a volley. The powerful crossbows were like sickles.

Yao Xiong felt pain in his crotch, and the horse and man rolled down.

The knights quickly protected Yao Xiong in the middle and began to retreat.

"put!!"

"Boom~~"

The north, west, and east sides of Lingwu were all under attack.

Yao Xiong withdrew to his original position at this moment. He saw that the narrow gap was quickly blocked, and the powerful crossbows were arranged neatly. He pulled out several arrows from his armor. He could no longer attack forcefully, so he could only continue to throw them.

"Kill~~"

The Podoro in the east had stopped firing at this moment. Under the cover of swords and shields, the crossbowmen continued to advance, trying to suppress the arrows on the city wall.

Arrows continued to shoot out from both sides, and then fell again.

The soldiers came all the way to the city wall and used large shields to set up a gentle slope under the city wall. The height of part of the city wall had been lowered by the indiscriminate bombardment. Potara's men beat the war drums and flew out on horseback.

The knights came galloping, but these knights did not have much armor. The horses ran wildly. The shield bearers supported each other and raised their shields. The horses stepped on the shields and took advantage of the gentle slope. Potara jumped up and jumped on

When he reached the pile of rubble, dozens of spears were stabbed from the left and right. Before Potara could react, his horse was stabbed to death. Potara fell into the rubble, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

Holding against the spearmen in front of them, the knights flew up one by one and landed on the rocks.

Zhou soldiers roared and came forward, and the two sides fought together.

This place is really not suitable for cavalry, and the horses cannot move. The knights are constantly being knocked down. Potara immediately ordered everyone to dismount and kill the enemy with swords and shields.

Badara roared and charged all the way, his body covered in blood.

The soldiers on the two high walls on the left and right now organized themselves and started throwing stones frantically towards this place.

Sprinkle boiling water.

The Sword and Shield Hands were defeated, and Potara led everyone to retreat.

Yang Zhong stood on the city tower, and the scouts kept flying over to inform him of the attack situation on three sides. The flags on the city tower kept changing, and the scouts rushed back and forth.

The siege lasted for a full day.

When it got dark, the rumbling sound finally stopped.

The entire Lingwu city wall is like a ruin, turned into piles of miscellaneous rocks.

The wails of the wounded soldiers resounded everywhere, and civilians continued to step forward to reinforce the gaps and dig out the buried wounded soldiers.

Someone was carrying food bowls and distributing them one by one on the city wall.

Yang Zhong was also walking on the city wall at this moment, passing through the soldiers on both sides, "Your team has killed the most enemies! Everyone will be rewarded!"

"Come here, prepare more meat for them! Give them some wine!"

Yang Zhong gave the order, drank wine with several officers in person, and promoted them to official positions.

After walking around like this, he did everything that should be comforted, punished, and encouraged.

Back on the tower, Murong Yan wrapped his face in cloth, leaving only one eye exposed, and limped to Yang Zhong's side, "My lord."

Yang Zhong looked at the other officers and asked them to sit down.

Everyone sat together, breathing softly and saying nothing.

Yang Zhong said proudly: "What do you mean by Hengshuo soldiers and Youyan soldiers? I think they are nothing more than that. They attacked hard for a day, but they didn't even break through the outer wall. If you can't do it today, you won't be able to do it in the future!"

Everyone had gained some morale, and they teased each other about the people outside the city.

Murong Yan did not smile.

He looked at Yang Zhong and asked seriously: "General, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

"Reinforcements? The reinforcements are probably already waiting to see Liu Taozi's camp!!"

Murong Yan shook his head after hearing Yang Zhong's words.

"My lord, we have followed you for many years and are willing to die with you."
