Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

On the handsome platform, Liu Zhong stomped bitterly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little bit worse. If we prepare a strong crossbow in advance, we can shoot down the Yan army behind the gate and rush into the city, or It is to prepare a shield and heavy armor in advance, and it is enough to get into the city!"

Liu Yu shook his head: "No one knows that this iron gate suddenly collapsed like this. This is an unforeseen thing. Besides, the black fire in the city gate cave has not been extinguished. If it is gone, I am afraid this city gate will not be so easily broken. Crack, I can only say that this is God's will."

Liu Muzhi's brows frowned: "Send slaves, this big iron gate is broken after all. Can we concentrate our forces into this city gate hole and forcefully pull the sack open?"

Liu Yu looked at the entrance of the city gate, thought about it thoughtfully, and shook his head: "It's difficult. There are still mechanisms in this city cave. Before, the black demon water fell from the top of the cave and ignited the car. Rushing through the car means that these organs still exist. The black demon water can fall from the hole above, and other organ killers can also be used. It is not impossible even to drop the entire Qianjin Gate."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, Zhang Gang also said before that the black robe asked him to hollow out several mezzanine layers on the city gate. As for the purpose, he didn't tell him. It seems that except for the black demon water. , There will be other organ arrangements. Entering rashly, I’m afraid you will be killed by various organs, causing heavy casualties.”

Wang Miaoyin's eyebrows frowned: "So, even if the city gate is opened, there is no chance to get in?"

Liu Yu sighed: "It has always been the most rigorous defense of the city gate area. Even if the gate is opened, you can use sandbags to block it, repair fences or even build walls behind it. It is really impossible to use heavy armor. Soldiers form a shield wall with a hard top behind it. It is very difficult to break through. After all, this space is narrow and it is difficult to expand."

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "If this is the case, why do you want to attack the city gate?"

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Because the biggest advantage of the siege party is the strength of the troops, the defenders need to be fortified everywhere. The gates, walls, and even the tunnels under the city must be guarded. If the perimeter of the city is long enough, it will In the face of insufficient strength, although the city gate is difficult to break through, after all, it is a place that can be directly knocked open. The defender needs to set up a heavy defense here. Just like now, the iron gate is opened for life. It cannot be less than three thousand, or even more. This gives us a chance!"

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed coldly and said to Liu Zhong: "Passing the order, all the tossers near the gates will lob and attack the line behind the Nancheng gate at the fastest speed, within 30 paces, Be sure to hit them all for me."

Liu Zhong's eyes lit up and he began to give orders quickly. Hu Fan nodded in sigh and said: "Marshal, Gao Ming, this time the enemy will definitely have a large number of reinforcements to urgently reinforce the city gate area. We cross the tower at this time and smash the city gate, we will definitely be able to kill a lot of enemy troops! "

Liu Yu looked at the city gate, and Mao Dezu on one side shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the tower above the city gate is more than two feet high, plus the city is more than three feet high. The throwing stone wants to cross the tower. I'm afraid it's not that easy. I'm afraid, we have to find another way!"

Liu Yu suddenly said: "Dezu made a point. I was negligent just now. There is a castle tower and I want to hit the sergeant behind the city gate. It is not easy. Send the order to the front and ask Xiang Mi and the others to shout loudly and make a request. The shocking posture, when you hear the sound of feet behind the city gate, you will send arrows as a signal. Let the 30 frontal catapults in the starting line adjust the shooting height and distance, and replace them with big rocks. Once you see the signal, Just smash that tower for me, and within two rounds of volley, this tower will be completely destroyed and knocked down!"

Liu Zhong’s hands were flying, and the signal flag rolled back and forth in his hands. Mao Dezu nodded vigorously, “That’s it. , Inevitably can smash a large number of enemy troops under the city wall. They never expected that there would be such a tactic!"

The fat on Liu Muzhi's face shook: "Very good. Even if you can't knock the tower down and hurt the Yan army under the city, you can at least destroy it at the top of the city. There is no need to go over this high. Before the elasticity of the tossing rod is exhausted, it can also cause a lot of casualties to the sergeants behind the city. The black robe sent to defend the city gate must be elite. It can eliminate some and relieve other places. pressure!"

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Let's start!"

Guanggu, inner city, city head.

Murong Lan let out a long sigh of relief and watched that within the gates of Nancheng, there were already more than 2,000 fully armed soldiers. They were different from the general Yan Army soldiers wearing leather robes. These sergeants, It was a heavy armor and a large shield, armed with long and heavy infantry. There were even hundreds of people in the city. They were all armored horses. They rushed to the city gate and then dismounted their horses to line up, just in case.

Muronglan looked in all directions and continued to rush to the sergeant at the gate of the city, and said: "It was really dangerous just now, brother, you only left five hundred people at the gate, which is too big. If the gate is destroyed, The Jin army rushed in, or quickly dealt with our crossbowmen, the city may be broken."

On the mask of the black robe, lifeless, he said calmly: "I didn't expect Liu Yu to be able to break through my iron gate with the alternate method of ice and fire. I researched it, but I have already left the organs at the gate. He broke the gate and couldn’t get in. Even if he did, the gate alone wouldn’t allow the army to enter and unfold. It’s useless, Liu Yu. I don’t understand this, but it’s mobilizing troops to this city gate with great fanfare. Could it be..."

Having said that, his gaze was cast on the Jin army formation in the distance. Suddenly, he noticed that the long-range catapults that hadn't moved for a long time began to slowly change their angles, their arms began to hang down again, and many civilians were struggling to launch. Rocks were lifted from the nest.

Heipao lost his voice: "It turns out that this is the case. He attacked the city gate because he wanted us to concentrate our forces here, and then leaned on the stone dumper, smashed the city tower or the front line behind the city gate, killing and injuring the densely assembled troops of our army, hehe , Alan, your man is really cruel."

Murong Lan shook her head: "On this battlefield, you live and die, and you want to hurt the enemy first. The kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. Isn't it the same for us? In our position, it is more than three feet higher than the outside of the city. , With a radius of more than ten miles, with unobstructed views. If it weren't for this, how could we see Liu Yu's every move?"
