1003 The time is ripe to conquer the famous city!

The next morning, the Wei army soon launched the next round of offensive. The siege equipment such as rushing cars, trenches and other siege equipment slowly pushed towards the city wall. Several crossbows on the top of the city were already opened, and the thick crossbow arrows were placed and tied on the strings. The arrows reflected the cold sharp light, and they had also aimed at the Wei army's siege equipment outside. The branches were shouting and running, and were ready to fight.

The thick crossbow arrow was immediately shot out, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded shrill. A rushing car was shot out by the bed crossbow. The crossbow arrow with extremely strong penetration was shot out, and the wood chips splashed everywhere, and the Wei generals around could not help but turn down.

Rows of bows and arrows shot out countless cold lights in an instant, sweeping through the sky and sank into the crowded waves of people under the city... Although the troops who were originally surging forward slowly did not overturn in an instant, some soldiers were still shot and injured by the clusters of arrows that were shot over!

However, the Wei Dynasty army's suppression attack towards the city still seemed even more fierce. The crossbowmen who pressed up quickly formed a formation, and a bunch of powerful bows and crossbows shot in turn, like a locust rolling over with a overwhelming sound.

There were even falling rocks like rain, and they were smashing down hard... A small school that was already hoarsely commanding the civilians to reinstall the thick crossbow arrows, quickly corrected the direction, and was preparing to launch the crossbow. Suddenly, he heard the heavy sound of breaking the wind and was already in his ears. He looked up and saw a whistling stone bullet hitting hard. Not only did the crossbow be broken, but he also immediately shot the small school into a ball of flesh and blood!

The Wei army, which formed an encirclement force in Jinyang City, has successively filled the trenches surrounding the city walls... But at present, such as large well railings, ladder trucks, rushing cars, and even siege troops holding long ladders, have not yet approached the city gate and the city gate.

The trembling soldiers guarding the city, who had not received enough rest, immediately ran up, carried the arrow clusters, and erected the crossbow machine... They were also ready to wait for the enemy to pounce on the city to get closer, and then they tried their best to smash the stones and gray bottles that had been prepared.

And above the wider city walls than ordinary cities, every few dozen steps, there are often large pots that are about to boil. The bottom of the pot is also burning with fire, and the boiling oil is constantly surging, and the big pot filled with gold juice has already emitted a foul smell... When the Wei army's siege troops rushed towards and began to climb up and rushed towards the city, the boiling oil and gold juice dripped off the head of the wall, which was enough to make people's skin and flesh rot immediately!

There are also rolling wood, wolf teeth patting, yaksha slap, rolling knife trolleys and other equipments. Even if the Wei soldiers are large and powerful, they will eventually adopt the tactic of ants supporting the city. Then under the attack of various types of defending equipment, they will inevitably suffer extremely heavy casualties!

However, the Wei army's siege troops who were approaching the city in batches were still following the steps and proceeding step by step. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to immediately pounce on and try to seize the city pass.

At a city gate located on the west side of Jinyang City, the commander of Ma Zhi, Guo Congqian, poked his head out to watch, and saw a rain of arrows still coming. He quickly waved his blade to block it, shot down the arrow branches, and retreated to the direction of the city gate tower.

Guo Congqian was determined to rebel against Li Cunxu... but he knew that he had to take a good opportunity to turn against him at the last minute. After all, just around Congmazhi, whom he commanded, there were other Later Tang military troops guarding the city gate. I wonder if those eyes were staring at him, there would be a possibility of seeing the clues.

However, if he was not sure to lead the Wei army into the city wall, he acted rashly... Guo Congqian knew that if other troops were in time to fight, he would regain control of the city gate before the Wei army controlled the city gate, and then he would immediately form a closed-door force against his horses. As a result, the Wei army was still blocked outside the city, and the rebels he commanded would be slaughtered first...

Therefore, he still had to act like a defensive posture. Guo Congqian informed the generals and commanded the soldiers to set up a cover... After dealing with the matter, he still had to shoot a few rounds of arrows outside the city. However, just like Mr. Nan Guo who was just a mess, compared with the surrounding Later Tang tribes, the arrows shot out of the surrounding areas were soft and weak, and the damage that the Wei army could cause was really limited.

However, the Wei army's siege troops had already begun to approach the Chengguan. Guo Congqian thought to himself that I wanted to help you enter Jinyang City, but he was still stared at by the Wei army as a target that was necessary to kill and disperse... Isn't this a mute and coptis coptis and unable to say what he has to do?

It seems that only when the Southern Dynasty army was rushing to the city, taking advantage of the time when the surrounding city guards had no time to take care of it, they immediately opened the city gate and expressed their loud voice to rebel against Tang and surrender to Wei, and were willing to accept the army into the city... They were able to be distinguished from the Later Tang army, avoid being attacked by the Wei army, and then turned around and entered the palace in one fell swoop!

However, until now, Guo Congqian has also discovered some clues... He found that the Wei Dynasty army surrounded and fought from four directions, from east, west, south and north, and the offensive seemed to be "even rain and dew", and there was no focus at all. Although it had basically not yet fallen down the city, and adopted the ants-attacking siege tactic that needed to fill human lives, if the stone siege machine was concentrated and specialized in one direction, it would prompt a certain city wall to collapse and fall as soon as possible... but isn't it more suitable?

In theory, even if the Wei army planned to attack the east and west, feint attacking one direction, but suddenly turned to attack the other side... but now it doesn't look like it. Could it be that it intends to put pressure from all directions and force the defenders to disperse their troops until they are in a tight position, and it may reveal flaws?

When Guo Congqian was muttering in his heart, suddenly the sound of rumbling hooves was carried when the large-scale cavalry was running in the distance, which faintly came into his ears. The Wei cavalrymen were cycling around the long city walls of Jinyang, and the magnificent military horses with tall and strong body and flying manes. The soldiers riding on them were all dragons, fierce and fierce, with flying spirits. The flags were flying in the array, and they also rolled up a lot of noise...

However, the Wei Dynasty sent this cavalry to circle around Jinyang City. After the offensive ended, it withdrew from the company, as if it was going out for inspection by the generals... What use can this be used to attack the city walls?

After all, although the cavalry has high mobility, the war horses will never have wings... Guo Congqian thought that although the city gates in Jinyang City were bombarded by stone bombs, there were also damage to varying degrees. However, it was still far from the time when the city wall collapsed on a large scale, even for the cavalry and infantry outside the city to rush in.

The Jinyang city walls are wider and stronger than ordinary city walls. Almost all available civilians have been recruited in the city and are ready to repair them at any time. Even if the Wei army concentrated stone bombs and used siege thieves to bombard violently, it would probably take a long time.

Unless the large-scale cavalry outside the city rushes to the city wall and uses various siege tools to climb up... but just surround the city walls, can you still rush up and collapse the city wall?

Guo Congqian thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind:

Wait... I didn't have time to send people secretly to communicate with the Southern Dynasties army. But the Wei army attacked the city's troops and attacked from four directions; there were also a large number of cavalry wandering around the city walls, watching the movements of the city gates... It seemed that the Wei army was waiting for a sudden change in the city gate, and they were about to rush in as soon as possible. In other words... Did the Emperor of Wei and even his generals have long expected that there would be chaos in Jinyang City and that there would be a fallen tribe to help them and enter the city?

However, Guo Congqian was aware of it, and he suddenly heard the noise around him again! Even though the Wei army siege troops were not yet completely close to the city wall... Not only was the guards in the nearby city gate loosened, but even the soldiers Congma Zhi, whom he commanded, exclaimed one after another.

When Guo Congqian was surprised, a small school under his command had already rushed to him, but pointed his hand at the rear and said quickly:
Chapter completed!
