[Chapter 53]

Messy footsteps sounded in the street.

Pen·qu·ge www..

“Are there still quilts?”

“Who still has quilts.”

Hearing the shouts from outside the door, the little girl who was sitting on the wooden bench holding a broom in the yard immediately turn around.

“Mother, mother, put away the quilt.” She shouted.

A woman ran out of the house holding the quilt, and the little girl opened the door. There were already many people in the alley running to the street with the quilt. There were wooden carts on the street with a lot of quilts stacked on them.

These quilts ranged from new to old, and they were quickly piled up in thick piles. Seeing the pile of people pulling carts, they rushed to the city wall.

Compared with the quietness on the street, there were crowds of people near the city wall. As soon as the futon cart arrived, some waiting people unloaded their backs and kicked up against the city wall.

Strips of quilts were hung on the city wall. From a distance, the entire four sides of the city wall were covered with quilts. As the quilts were hung, the women who had already been waiting dumped the water in the buckets.

The people came and went in this order, and beside them there were people who were carrying stones and carrying logs and kept going up and down. They were shouting horns up and down, but they were orderly, busy and not chaotic.

Suddenly screams came from outside, and everyone only felt a dull crashing sound from the top of their heads. This was the sound of stone bullets hitting the city wall. Because of the protection of the wet bedding, it could reduce the damage to the city wall, but it blocked the sound. The stones kept rolling over the city wall.

“Get down and get down.”

“Let’s lean against the wall.” The

panicked shouts rang out in a mess. Even so, someone was hit by a stone, and there was a shrill scream. There was panic under the city gate, but someone still ran over. Lift the injured person up and run into the inner street.

The houses facing the street were all vacant, and the old doctor Feng and others stayed here, instructing the injured people to be carried in to begin treatment.

The stones no longer fell, and the wounded under the city gate were all placed, but the blood on the stones scattered on the ground still made people feel heavy.

“The golden man’s stone bullets have been thrown in, have those trenches been filled?”

the people leaning against the city wall whispered.

“I never expected the trenches to stop the golden soldiers.

”

The generals standing on the city wall looked at the city with a solemn expression at this time, and the catapults were slowly moving towards this place under the cover of shield vehicles. side approaching.

“For the Jin people, filling the ditch is slow enough,” said a general. “It seems that they are not in a hurry to attack the city.” The golden

soldiers approaching the city gate were neatly lined up with bright armor, but the number was not large. Many, their expressions are not vicious, but with a bit of banter.

“The city in the capital is indeed different in height and thickness.”

Yu Chihai, who was standing with a big flag in the middle of the army formation, said, looking at the city ahead with a relaxed expression.

“Last time I came, I looked carefully.”

He said and took a few steps forward.

“Thousands of miles are connected to the clouds, overlooking like the Big Dipper, exquisitely building splendor, and stationing troops to hide in secret.” It’s a

really good poem.

But there was no admiration from all around. Yu Chihai looked back. At this time, these crude generals were either looking at the city ahead with greedy eyes, thinking about the treasures and beauties in it, or looked at him blankly. It seems that he just doesn’t understand why he hasn’t attacked yet.

Barbarians are boring.

Yu Chihai was a little disappointed.

“No matter how high and thick this city is, our warriors will surely be able to conquer it.” A golden general said eagerly, “All the cities we have encountered along the way are stronger than those in the north, but so what.”

“Those generals Vulnerable.” Another golden general akimbo laughed.

Yu Chihai smiled and looked ahead.

“Yeah, so such a solid city can be ignored.” He said, “What we want to attack is not the city gate, but the hearts of the people inside.”

He said and stepped forward again.

“Smash their courage, destroy their spirit, smash their knees, and make them bow their heads in front of us.”

This is much more pleasant than the mess of poems and lyrics just now, and the golden general beside him They burst into laughter.

“However.” Yu Chihai frowned slightly again, “This capital is a bit different from what I imagined.”

“How is it different?” the generals around him asked.

Yu Chihai looked at the dense trenches in front of him and the pitted ground in the distance. It was obviously newly dug out. The original gate of the capital was repaired and leveled.

To be able to dig so many and deep trenches in a short period of time, it can be seen that a lot of manpower must be used.

Repelling horses in the trenches is a must for defending the city. If you can do this, you must know that the golden army is coming, but knowing that the golden army is coming, you can organize such a large amount of manpower and material resources to do this. It can be seen that the people in the city have not panicked.

In addition, the villages and towns near the capital that I just passed through are also empty, and I didn’t encounter any people who fled in panic along the way.

“It seems that the people here in the capital are much calmer than before.” Yu Chihai said with a smile, with a bit of admiration, “As expected of the people under the emperor’s feet.” After

speaking, the smile in his eyes became cold, Raised his hand and waved.

“Master’s Shield.”

……

”

We can also throw stones.”

A general on the city wall who looked at the golden soldiers outside the city gate through the crenels whispered.

“No, get closer, or throwing stones will be a waste,” said another general.

The sling is mainly used for siege, and the counterattack is aimed at the shield car. At this time, the shield car of the golden soldiers is also protected by layers. If they want to hit a hit, they need to be closer.

The two said this, although their expressions were nervous, but they were not too scared, probably because out of the corner of their eyes they could see the Qingshan Army’s artillery vehicle in the center.

This is a more powerful weapon than throwing stones. Of course, the Qingshan Army said that it is not needed now. It will only be used when the army of golden soldiers is approaching the city. When it is thrown out, it can kill a piece of it, and it will be the best use and the most deterrent.

At present, it is enough to use stone bullets at a distance and then use a crossbow at close range.

The generals were a little nervous and inexplicably excited, waiting for the arrival of the shield car that was closer and slow on the bumpy road, and issued the order to throw stones, but suddenly the moving shield car stopped, and the Jin army behind was a commotion, Then drive out a group of people.

Seeing these people, the generals on the city wall couldn’t help but widen their eyes and look ashen.

This is a group of Zhou people, ranging from old to young men and women, all of them crying under the beatings of the golden soldiers’ whips with embarrassed expressions.

“Listen to the people inside, hurry up and open the city gate.” A

dozen or so golden soldiers galloped forward and shouted loudly in Zhou language.

“Open the city gate, you can save your life.”

They shouted over and over again, and then turned their horses around Zhou Min, who was being driven.

These golden soldiers have reached the range where the bow and crossbow can be shot, but there is no order to shoot on the city wall, and everyone looks at the people who are being driven closer and closer with complicated expressions.

Behind these people, the shield chariot and the golden soldiers who were attacking the city moved again.

“Sir.” One of the lieutenants couldn’t help but shouted in a low voice.

What can be done at this time?

Ordered a sling shot?

That way, it was obvious that these Zhou Mins were the first to be hurt.

“This damn shameless golden man.” A general slammed down the city wall.

But if you don’t throw stones, the long ladders of those golden soldiers’ shield vehicles to attack the city will reach the city gate.

More than a dozen golden soldiers rode closer again, and deliberately shot at the city wall with bows and crossbows, full of provocation.

At this time, if you stand up and use a crossbow, you can definitely kill a few golden soldiers.

Some soldiers couldn’t help but move.

“Don’t move without an order.” A wooden voice came from behind.

The soldier froze immediately, not daring to move at all, and out of the corner of his eye he saw an old woman standing behind him.

The old woman looked at him for a moment and continued to patrol along the city wall, turning a deaf ear to the crying and scolding coming from under the city gate.

Zhou Min was being driven closer and closer, and the shield car was driving slowly but also getting closer and closer on the bumpy road.

“Choose.”

Suddenly, an order came from the city wall.

The slinger, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately threw the stone bomb out.

For a time, the stones flew like rain to the city gate.

The broken shield car and the screams and scoldings of the golden soldiers sounded under the city gate, mixed with Zhou Min’s terrified cries.

Jin Jiang, who was standing in the distance, was also furious when he saw this scene.

Unexpectedly, Zhou people did this. Seeing their people being driven and whipped, they did not stand up immediately. Instead, they waited for the opportunity and attacked Zhou Min at all.

His face was ashen, and he ordered the advancing shield car Jinbing to retreat, waving his hand fiercely.

Accompanied by this wave of hands, the golden cavalrymen who were scattered by the attack of the stone bullets immediately regrouped and surrounded Zhou Min who was crying, slashing and stabbing.

Listening to the cries and screams of the people outside, everyone on the city wall was pale, the soldiers were still self-control, and the people were trembling uncontrollably.

Even so, no one jumped up, not even a loud scolding.

This is because the Qingshan Army has repeatedly reiterated that when fighting, they must not turn back, do not move without permission, and do not see the enemy making noise, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.

And at this time, there were also several old and weak women and children patrolling the city wall and staring at them.

The cries outside the city gradually disappeared and returned to calm.

It is conceivable that those people have been killed.

There was still no commotion on the city wall, and this silent response made the Jinbing outside the city even more annoyed.

“If you don’t surrender, you will end up like this when the city is broken.”

Jin Bing’s scolding came from outside the city.

The people on the city wall were not really unresponsive, they were angry and disappointed, and there were more people who thought that if they had run out of the capital, it would be themselves who were slaughtered under the city gate at this time.

The golden people are so brutal and the wars are bloody and ruthless. At this moment, they are no longer listening to a few words in a restaurant or a teahouse, nor are they casually watching the refugees fleeing and grief, but they really feel it. .

Just then, a drum sounded.

For the meaning of the drums and gongs, the soldiers and the people are already familiar with it, and they almost acted subconsciously.

The soldiers lifted their coverings and shot salvos of bows and crossbows at the golden soldiers under the city gate, and the villagers rolled stones, big and small, to the catapults one by one.

For a while, there was screaming outside the city gate.

The golden cavalry soldiers who were still under the city gate fell one after another, and the shield chariots that had retreated but were still in the shooting range of the stone bullets were also smashed.

Yu Chihai, who was watching all this from a distance, had a heavy expression, and Jin Bing, who was attacking at other city gates, also heard such a description of the battle situation.

“Isn’t that saying that there aren’t many officers and soldiers in this capital? And they are all guards and guards who have never killed anyone.” He said, frowning slightly, “How can there be such a strict preparation for battle, it is clearly due to the lack of training. Su’s army.” (To be continued.)
