The Yizhou Army began its first serious siege.

Ten counterweight trenchers bombed the city walls, and hundreds of kilograms of stones were projected from nearly 200 steps away. Every time they hit the city wall, they could see the city walls shaking. But it has to be said that as Henghai Prefecture and Zhu Shou's base camp, the city walls were indeed not comparable to those of Yongguang and other small cities. Seeing the city wall shaking, but the blue brick walls wrapped in stones still stood up tenaciously. Of course, there was no loss. The wooden city gate tower above the city head was hit by a huge rock and collapsed into ruins. The female walls, retaining walls, barrier walls, etc. on the upper part of the city wall were also destroyed, and the city walls looked a little shorter.

The achievement of the first day was that under the cover of the catapult, the soldiers of the palace filled the moat about hundreds of steps long.

Of course, the city would not be so stupid and just be beaten but not fight back. Under the brutal attack of the counterweight slasher outside the city, the city also organized several counterattacks, but whether it was cavalry or infantry, under the focus of the Chengde Wolf Cavalry and the Modao Team, the Henghai Army who left the city was basically a meat bun to beat dogs, and there was no return.

"Cangxian is an ancient city and has been strengthening for many years." At night, Cao Xin, who withdrew his troops back to the camp, explained to Li Ze: "Although there is rammed earth inside, it is extremely thick. Most of the outer layers are wrapped in stones. As far as I know, the Jiedushi's jurisdiction is located in such a place, those Jiedushi have put a lot of effort into it. For example, those stones are glued with raw materials such as glutinous rice juice. The outer stones and the inner soil are hit by gravity, but they have some concessions, which greatly enhances their ability to resist strikes."

"Is this the same thing in our Zhenzhou?" Li Ze asked curiously. If this operation is done, the money will be spent.

Cao Xin nodded: "Our Chengde is not comparable to the vast sea. Over the years, Jieshuai has been strengthening the city walls. Although the renovated city walls are also rammed earth, the requirement is that a strong man can stab the sharp cone with a force. He cannot penetrate the soil more than an inch, and it is unqualified if it exceeds an inch."

"So amazing?" Li Ze was also surprised.

"It's not only that. The exterior wall of Zhenzhou is also wrapped in stone. Not only are it made of adhesives such as glutinous rice juice, but also rivets are carved on the stones, which are connected to each other. In this way, the entire city wall forms a whole. Young Master, your counterweight trencher is indeed great, but when facing a strong city like Zhenzhou, the effect will not be too great." Cao Xin said proudly.

"How much does this cost?" Li Ze widened his eyes. Zhenzhou is a big city. It is difficult to count the stones needed to wrap the entire city wall. Every piece of stone has to carve such a riveted mouth. How much manpower and material resources is needed?

"So Zhenzhou is still carrying out this work continuously until now," Cao Xin said. "It costs more than one million yuan?"

Li Ze shook his head and said, "How many useful things can you do with such money? It's a pity to build such a wall. The wall of people's hearts is not a wall!"

Cao Xin was stunned for a moment before he realized what Li Ze said, and smiled bitterly: "What the young master said is easy, but it is so difficult to do it! But with such a strong city, everyone will always feel more at ease."

"Make it up, it's not my money anyway?" Li Ze said with a spreading hand.

"There will be the money for the young master in the future." Cao Xin looked at Li Ze with a smile.

Li Ze was stunned and then laughed: "That's right, but when I entered Zhenzhou, I probably got it almost done. I was out of sight and was not upset. I wouldn't do such a thing at such a big price, but I was still very happy to have me enjoy such a result. Cao Gong, how can we fight tomorrow?"

"Cangxian is Zhu Shou's old territory, and the army is also his direct line. Judging from his appearance today, you can tell that siege the city will be a hard battle, but no matter how hard it is, it will still be fought. I will be ready to dig soil and build mountains tomorrow."

"It's another big project!" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Regular operation." Cao Xin smiled and said, "No matter what other methods there are, these conventional operations are still carried out step by step. You should not underestimate the fact that the land is a mountain. The water system in Cangxian is developed and the foundation is soft. The land is not just to suppress it to obtain the same height as the city. When these land mountains are built, they will put pressure on the foundation of the city wall and cause damage to it. If combined with the powerful stone trencher of Gongzi, it may produce miraculous effects, and it may be beaten down a city wall directly."

"It makes sense!" Li Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry about my side for now, and fight as much as you should. This is also a way to confuse Zhu Shou. Of course, it also puts some additional pressure on some people in the city to let them see clearly that we have the strength to conquer Cang County, so that they will not have unrealistic fantasies."

No words all night.

The next day, Cao Xin did start his plan to build soil and mountain. Tens of thousands of soldiers were busy digging soil, and then transported the soil to a place two hundred steps away from the city to rammed the earth and build the mountain. The two soil mountains just sandwiched ten counterweight trenchers in the middle. The stone dug out of the dig could be used as ammunition for the trenchers.

During the whole day, the Henghai army left the city one after another in the afternoon and wanted to attack Zhuyi's mansions, but the Yizhou army was well protected. Even though the Henghai army left the city was brave, under the strict defense of the Yizhou army, the army left the city was defeated and returned without anything.

The energy of more than 10,000 soldiers in the palace was quite amazing. In just one day, the two earthen mountains were lifted up by two feet high. If you use them for another day, you would probably exceed the height of the city wall of Cang County.

"Tonight, I'm afraid the sea will be in a hurry to jump over the wall." Standing in the camp and looking at the two earthen mountains that had grown in one day, Li Ze said with a smile.

"I'm afraid they won't come. I've prepared a feast. As long as they dare to come, they can enjoy it well." Cao Xin said.

"They have to come. Even if they know there are traps, they will still try it. The soil mountain cannot be dug, but they will try it if they can kill the catapult. After all, such a large catapult is really a big one, and I really have no place to replenish it for a while." Li Ze said: "It seems that there will be a storm tonight!"

"Ten thousand troops are waiting for the battle." Cao Xin waved his fist.

That night, the three camps in Yizhou seemed quiet, but no one fell asleep. Even Li Ze dragged a chair and sat outside the tent.

In the early morning, just as Li Ze was drowsy, the sneak attack began.

The Henghai Army had at least 10,000 people left the city, and they left the city from the only Yizhou Army, which had no garrison. They were carrying ceremonies, horses and horses, and their hooves were wrapped in soft cloth. After leaving the city, they surrounded the two wings, one left and one right, and the attack began with the camp on the left and right.

The battle between sneak attacks and anti-sneak attacks was much more intense than during the day. When it was tingling, Heng Haijun seemed to feel that he could not get the victory he wanted. He immediately turned around and fled, still going eastward, preparing to return from the East Gate.

Li Ze still stared at the north city gate facing him.

Sure enough, when the Heng Navy on both wings retreated, the north gate opened in an instant, and about two thousand cavalry rushed out from the inside and headed straight for the counterweight trenchers between the two earthen mountains.

Zhu Shou is really a talent.

The so-called two-wing sneak attack is just to cover this real attack. For ordinary people, after defeating the enemy's first sneak attack and achieving considerable results, the winner will have a period of relaxation, and this period of time he captures.

Unfortunately, from the beginning, Li Ze and Cao Xin determined that the other party's real purpose was only these catapults and Li Ze's central army camp. No matter how hard the two wings fought, the central army seemed to have mobilized a lot of troops to the two wings, but in fact, they were all elite main forces pretended to be by the soldiers of the palace, and the real elites were not moved at all.

Zhu Shou's two thousand cavalry originally wanted to build a horse camp, without seeking to defeat the German army. Even if it caused a certain amount of chaos and forced the enemy's central army to retreat, they had the opportunity to destroy the catapult, dig up the earth and other operations.

They collided with Min Rou's Chengde wolf cavalry, Tu Lichun's copycat version of the wolf cavalry, and Li Ze and Cao Xin's personal guard camp.

These two thousand cavalry came with the belief that they would die, but they really died outside the city. There were very few cavalrymen who fled back until dawn.

When the sun rose, Zhu Shou stood on the top of the city with a pale face. Some of the enemies outside the city were cleaning the battlefield, while the other part was still building the earthen mountains in an orderly manner. Every time those huge thrust machines would burst out with a huge roar, smashing more than ten huge stones hard on the city wall.

Needless to say, there are pits on the north wall, but what is even more shocking is that some cracks are expanding.

While Zhu Shou stared out of the city in despair, Li Ze, who was about to take a good night's sleep, had to cheer up and meet someone.

This man was a night attack officer, and of course he is now a prisoner.

The officer looked bloody all over his body, but his movements were neat, but there were no scars at all. However, the armor on his body had been stripped off, and it seemed that before he came in, he had been fumbled all over his body. Now Tu Lichun was standing beside him, holding the knife tightly with his hands. And beside Li Ze, Li Mi stared at the other party without blinking.

"Young Master, this person is hidden among a pile of dead bodies. When we cleaned the battlefield, we found it. He said that he was from the Bai family in Cang County. He was ordered by the head of the family and took advantage of this opportunity to attack the city. "Tu Lichun said.
