As he was talking here, he saw a lot of things being pushed out from the Jianlu camp. As soon as Hu Guang saw it, he recognized that it was a ladder truck.

This ladder truck is actually not simply putting the ladder on the car. It is very large and can hide many people under it, either for siege or avoid archers to shoot arrows at the top of the city. It is all possible.

In addition to the ladder truck, there are rows of Jianlu, four or five carrying simple ladders together. Compared to the one I saw yesterday, there are metal reflections at the top of today's simple ladder. Obviously, hooks are added to hook the city wall. Jianlu, who carried the simple ladder, followed it out on both sides of the ladder truck, and the number is a bit too many.

After the ladder truck was finished, I saw three crash cars. The crash car was actually a huge wooden stake with an iron head hanging from the stake, which could swing back and forth and crash into the city wall or city gate. The roof of the car was covered with pointed roofs, covered with wet animal skins to prevent the flames from burning. When these siege equipment reached the front position of the three square arrays, it looked quite spectacular.

It can be seen that Jianlu must have made a lot of preparations and really wanted to attack the city in one go.

Hu Guang retracted his gaze and saw that the Red Barbarian cannons and general cannons were pushed by soldiers from both sides of the city wall by soldiers, gathering in the area where the moat was filled. In addition, there were also commanders running by from time to time, saying something loudly. It was obvious that Man Gui was taking corresponding measures.

Hu Guang was relieved to see it. When he looked up again, he saw a cavalry rushing out of the Jianlu camp and coming to the front of the square formation. From the flag, it can be seen that this was the slave chief coming out.

The drum sound outside the city suddenly stopped, as if it quieted the world. Then I saw the slave chief Huang Taiji driving his horse to inspect the square formation, and he was talking loudly. The specific content was too far away to hear clearly. But after Huang Taiji finished a passage, he saw Jianlu in the square formation screaming excitedly. He could guess it with his toes, probably because he would have a heavy reward when he attacked the city.

On the top of the city, yesterday, the soldiers guarding the city all had pale faces or looked numb. But now, they are basically not influenced by the enemy outside the city. They are busy listening to the military orders and preparing various guarding equipment. This is a manifestation of different morale.

After a while, the war drums of Jianlu rang again, and thousands of Jianlu shouted horns, their voices shook the fields and rang through the capital. Countless people advanced together, pushing the siege equipment and starting to march towards the city wall.

The real siege of Jianlu finally officially kicked off.

At the same time, the Ming army of Governor Ma Shilong's western route also saw the important Zunhua town that once belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the Jianlu on the top of the city starting martial law, the army stopped.

In this army, there were mostly old and weak soldiers in ragged clothes. They curled up in groups to resist the severe cold. When they saw the army stopping, they squeezed together and sat around to keep warm. At first glance, this was not an army, it was just a team of refugees with swords and guns. Of course, this had to be eliminated by the servants in the brocade clothes and angry horses.

The generals surrounded Prime Minister Ma Shilong, and no one wanted to take the lead. They told their difficulties one by one, saying that Zunhua’s important city was too difficult to fight.

Ma Shilong did not make things difficult for them, so he ordered camping on the spot, facing Zunhua from afar, as if he was not involved in the river.

On the way to Changli from Shanhaiguan, the chief general Zu Dashou had just heard the report sent by the van Cao Wenzhao back to the messenger, and then ordered: "You go back and tell Cao Wenzhao, let him keep pace, don't alarm the Jianlu army. When the general leads the chariot camp and the cavalry advance together, it is a safe move!"

"Yes, Grandmaster!" The messenger responded, and then hesitated a little, reminding him: "Jianlu is very anxious to attack the city. My master is worried that Changli will not be able to hold on to the arrival of the army!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, his brows raised and shouted sternly: "Cao Wenzhao dares to break the arrangement of this commander, be careful of his head!"

When the messenger heard this, he didn't dare to say anything again. He quickly agreed and galloped away.

He Kegang was always paying attention, but at this moment, he frowned and said, "If the city is broken, isn't that great, right?"

"The primary purpose of this general is to ensure undefeated!" Zu Dashou replied seriously, "The second is to defeat this Jianlu. It is best to kill and injure Jianlu in large quantities, and finally save Changli. The order this time cannot be reversed, otherwise how can I explain to the cabinet master when I go back?"

"..." He Kegang was silent when he heard this.

Seeing that he had no objection, Zu Dashou drove his horse to continue moving forward. At the same time, he looked at the marching team and said, "If Jianlu happened to attack Changli, our army could reach Changli. At this time, attack the rear, the general would be very sure to severely damage this Jianlu!"

People in troubled times are as cheap as dogs! He Kegang sighed in his heart after hearing this, but he did not advise Zu Dashou any more. After all, for them, just as Zu Dashou said, the main and the secondary cannot be confused.

If you win, then you are good and I am good, everyone is good. Even if Changli falls, it is not the responsibility of Guanning Army. I can only blame Changli for his bad life and will not persevere in the arrival of reinforcements;

If the Guanning Army suffers too much loss, it will not only not be able to commit crimes and make meritorious service, but it is even possible to be imprisoned for it. It may not be certain whether it can turn over in the future. Even if it saves Changli, it will be useless. After all, the Guanning Army is the fundamental.

Hu Guang naturally could not know about their thoughts. At this time, he was staring at the movements of Jianlu outside the city.

In the distance, the Jianlu cavalry passed the infantry slowly advancing, and they formed a scattered formation and rushed towards the capital with strange screams. In the dust, the Jianlu cavalry began to shoot arrows on the top of the city.

This kind of archery naturally cannot have any accuracy. It is nothing more than disrupting the defense at the city wall and putting pressure on the Ming army on the city wall.

"Without the command of the Grand Marshal, no fight back is allowed!" On the top of the city, the stern shouts of Man Gui's family members rang one after another.

However, this order was only aimed at ordinary soldiers. Another part of them was wearing armor to protect the soldiers in the position. They were scattered everywhere in battlements. Looking outside, they suddenly shot an arrow. Of course, a small number of them were musketeers, who were aiming outside and were shooting cold guns at a relatively slow speed.

Hu Guang could see on the top of the city that the shooting of these soldiers was about one of ten. You should know that the Jianlu outside the city were racing past horses, and the hit rate was already very good. Obviously, these soldiers should be the archers and musket archers selected by Man Gui from the city.

The battle between the two sides began with them.

In the distance, Jianlu's square formation was getting closer and closer, and gradually, new changes began to occur.

The carts were pushed to the front, like a moving city wall with spaces, and the speed seemed to be moving forward faster. The archers of the carts hid behind the carts in groups and waited to approach the city wall and began to suppress the city head.
