In the morning, the flags outside Ruyin City were like the sea. The defenders on the top of the city couldn't help feeling uneasy when they saw such a spectacular scene. They didn't expect that there were so many enemies that they really surrounded Ruyin.

West of the city, Xichaluo used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy's besieged city. Although he was calm on his face, he was actually surprised that the enemy had so many soldiers. He thought that Yuwen Wen, who was leading the troops, had limited troops and could not surround Ruyin to death. As a result...

A general next to him suggested: "Prime Minister, why not lead the troops out to test it? There are so many flags, maybe the enemy will just put flags on bluffs."

Xichaluo disagreed with this proposal: "No need, wait till the afternoon and see how much smoke the other party has."

"But yesterday there was a lot of smoke from each camp in each other's camp. I'm afraid that this afternoon, there would be a scene of smoke from cooking.

"It's not true or false, it's not true." Xi Chaluo put away Qianlijing and said lightly, "The thing that's urgent now is them. No matter how much enemy troops are, our army must defend Ruyin, and the current troops are enough."

Xichaluo thought it very clearly. Yuwen Wen sent troops to siege the city, and the idea of ​​attacking quickly, because a large number of Chen troops were stationed in Qicheng east of Ruyin, and the Chen army also wanted to take Ruyin. If time delayed for a long time, Yuwen Wen would have a fight with Chen General.

Huainan is an important barrier for the State of Chen, and it must be taken down as long as possible. The Yuwen family had occupied Jiangzhou before and lived in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, posing a serious threat to the capital of Chen Jiankang. Now they are here to rob Huainan again. How could the ruler and ministers of Chen tolerate such behavior?

So Xichaluo felt that under normal circumstances, Yuwen should have waited until he captured Luoyang before considering using troops to the two Huaihe Rivers. Now he is rushing to attack Ruyin, which is too ruthless.

Perhaps it was after a series of great victory that Yuwen was so proud that he thought he no longer needed to join forces with Chen State, so he sent Yuwen Wen to take Ruyin so eagerly, wanting to have both fish and bear's paws.

The bear paw is Henan, and the fish is Lianghuai. The Yuwen family probably wants to sweep the areas south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River after the Shaoling Victory. Xichaluo believes that this is overestimating one's ability.

He believed that Yuwen Wen wanted to attack Ruyin quickly, create a fait accompli, and then bargain with Chen State. Xichaluo would not let him succeed. Although the official army suffered a lot of casualties after Guangling's defeat, his troops suffered little losses, and there was no problem in defending Ruyin for several months.

Ruyin City has complete defense facilities, complete battle equipment for defending the city, rolling wood and rocking stones, and sufficient catapults. Although there are fewer thunders on the sky, Xi Chaluo does not think that Yuwen Wen's hand can have more thunders on the sky than him.

The city cannot be said to have enough food and grass, but it is no problem to support it for several months. Xichaluo has no reason to be pessimistic, so he wants to see what tricks Yuwen Wen can use to attack Ruyin quickly.

A general came to report that the catapults in the city were ready. Xichaluo looked back at the city and saw that many catapults that had been erected were indeed ready to shoot stone bombs, and they were waiting to approach the enemy catapults outside the city, and then shot stones at the enemy catapults.

Because the city wall is blocked, it is difficult for the catapult outside the city to destroy the catapult inside the city. It is also difficult for the catapult inside the city to destroy the catapult outside the city, but the defending soldiers can observe the landing point at the top of the city to help the catapult adjust the direction.

Therefore, Xichaluo was not worried that his catapult would be defeated in the attack, and the enemy's outside the city had only more than twenty catapults. As long as they entered the range of his catapults, they would be destroyed sooner or later.

The catapult can throw stones weighing dozens of kilograms, with a range of about two hundred steps. Xichaluo entered the solid wooden shed built on the top of the city and watched the enemy catapult approach the city. Before the official shooting, the castle was still safe.

But the enemy's catapult stopped at about 250 steps from the city wall.

Everyone thought that the enemy's catapult made was longer in range, but when an enemy threw a stone bomb at the city, the size of the stone bomb was obviously half smaller than that of the ordinary stone bomb.

The stone bomb was very fast, and it passed over the city wall and landed in a house in the city, without causing much damage. Xichaluo, who was familiar with the use of the trencher, knew that this was a test shot before all the enemy's catapults threw the rock bomb to determine the distance, direction and counterweight.

He thought that the other party deliberately reduced the weight of the stone bullet to increase the range and hid outside the range of his own catapult. This idea was good, but in this way, the weight loss of the stone bullet would also lead to a decrease in power.

It only takes a lot of time to destroy the Ruyin City Wall.

The enemy's catapult aircraft carried out two more test shots, and then fell silent. The defenders knew that this was a sign of the opponent's attack, so they turned into the Tibetan soldiers' cave, leaving only some people to observe the enemy's situation in the solid wooden sheds on the top of the city.

After a moment, more than twenty stone bullets roared and all fell into Ruyin City. However, the stone bullet did not stir up a burst of dust and hit the house. There was no such dull sound as hard-hitting when the ground was on the ground.

It's more like the movement of a bucket falling to the ground.

Xichaluo thought so. He waited in the Tibetan Camp for a while, and after he threw several rounds of stone bullets outside the city, he felt more and more strange, so he walked outside the cave to check the situation.

There seemed to be some fluffy fat sheep in the air. The air was filled with a stinking smell of feces, but the stinking smell was different from human and horse manure. Xichaluo could not smell it, but the soldiers beside him smelled it: "It seems... it seems to be the stinking smell of chicken shit!"

"Chicken shit? The enemy threw the chicken shit in?"

"General, this smell is really chicken shit!"

Xi Chaluo felt a little confused. If Yu Wen Wen wanted to use a catapult to shoot feces into the city, then the large amount of human feces that would be produced in the military camp every day, and horse feces were the best "dung bombs". How could the other party think of shooting chicken feces into the city?

Where did Yuwen Wen get so much chicken shit?

No matter how much chicken shit is, can someone have more feces?

Xi Chaluo couldn't figure out these questions, but he probably guessed that Yu Wen Wen's intention to eject feces into the city: polluting the city, including polluting water sources, food, bedding, etc.

Very dirty means, but how could the effect be good? If you want to cause a plague in the city, you should throw away rotten animal corpses and try to capture a city by shooting feces. This is simply fantasy!

Xi Chaluo was thinking when suddenly a muffled sound came from his head. When he looked up, he found that a "dung bomb" hit the head of the city, and a large amount of stinky feces mixed with fluff fell on his head. Fortunately, he was at the entrance of the cave and quickly retreated.

The generals and soldiers standing outside were not so lucky. They were covered with some fishy chicken poop and feathers. Although these chicken poops were not fatal, there was a fishy smell when the armor and military uniforms were stuck.

Of course, human blood, internal organs, and brain flowers also have a fishy smell when stuck to the armor. For soldiers who have experienced a long battle formation, it is no big deal to just chicken shit.

However, many people then twisted their bodies and kept scratching somewhere on their bodies. The scene was in chaos. Shichaluo, who was in the hole, was about to speak when he suddenly felt something along his boots and his armor climbed up, and itched very much.

Then he couldn't help but scratch the itchy part of his body, but wearing armor, it was more troublesome to scratch the itchy than to scratch the boots.

A soldier outside the cave was tickling and looking at the "scam marks" on the ground, suddenly his face changed and he kept jumping, as if he was hiding something.
