In fact, from the very beginning, Xie Linlang guessed that there were trebuchets on the water bandit's boat.

Because their boats cannot enter the shallows, it means that they have heavy objects on board, and there are only so many weapons that can attack from a long distance in this era. If it is bows and arrows, how many bows and arrows are needed to hold down so many big boats? So it can only be stones and trebuchets.

It's just that she originally thought that these people were planning to use trebuchets to attack the city and kill people, but she didn't expect that their purpose was to destroy the city wall.

It seems that they want to exchange the smallest loss for the biggest benefit. Is it really good to be so greedy?

Once the attack on the river surface was launched, it didn't stop. The wall was smashed by boulders, and the gravel and ashes kept shaking off, giving people a feeling of being crumbling.

The water bandits planned well. They planned to destroy the city wall on the first day of the war, and then directly enter the city from the hole, killing the most people with the least sacrifice!

But Xie Linlang's preparations these days were not in vain. She sent people to strengthen the weak parts of the city wall. Although it was still very fragile, it was impossible for them to destroy it in one round.

Sure enough, in the rain of stones all over the sky, although the seemingly weak wall had been smashed with many gaps, it still stood tenaciously, which surprised Lian Ke very much.

On the other side, Dong Jie sent people to attack the city, but Mr. Liu was also on guard!

This made him a little surprised. Originally, he thought that such a small city should be able to enter after a round of offensive. Who knows that the north gate is not only strong and thick, but also the defenders are not ordinary people.

But it doesn't matter, if you can't get in one round, it will be two rounds. Anyway, they have a lot of people, and they will attack again and again. Let's see how long the opponent can defend!

The sound of shouting and killing was loud, and Mr. Liu, who commanded the defense of the city, felt strenuous under the successive strong attacks of the opponent.

Originally, these people were just mobs, and even though there were a large number of them, they could still hold on.

But the bad thing is that the rebels have gone all the way south, and there is not much food and grass left. This siege is equivalent to a last stand for the rebels!

Coupled with the fact that they have a large number of people, they already have the determination to win. When they multiply by two, they are simply unstoppable!

On the other hand, they are short of people and weapons, and when they are overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum, how will they fight this battle?

Fortunately, Mr. Liu is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. Since there are few people, he uses the rotation method to defend the city, and uses a trebuchet to throw gravel against the opponent's arrows. Whether those rebels were scratched by the glass or stepped on the glass slag, they could cause them a lot of trouble!

In this way, an offensive and defensive battle lasted from day to night, and finally stopped.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. There is no way to solve the food crisis on the side of the rebels. Once people are cornered, they can do anything!

No matter how strong their door is, it cannot withstand their successive attacks.

At the same time, the situation on the south wall is also very tense.

For the whole day, Xie Linlang didn't bring anyone to show up, because as soon as they appeared on the city wall, the opponent would attack with boulders, and it would be better to let them smash it than to increase unnecessary casualties.

Fortunately, the reinforced city wall really survived the first day of the water bandits' storm.

The water bandits had no choice but to send part of the boats to fetch the stones again. This back and forth gap bought time for everyone in the city.

As soon as they stopped, Xie Linlang asked everyone to repair the city wall. Although it was impossible to completely repair it, it was better than nothing.

Everyone doesn't understand, what's the point of always patching the wall? Could it be that they make up faster than the other side?

But at this time, no one would question Xie Linlang's decision.

In this way, two days passed. In the past two days, the three parties were in a stalemate, and there were no major casualties. However, Xie Linlang and the water bandits had to wait, but Dong Jie, the leader of the rebel army, couldn't wait!

The people under him have to eat, but he promised them that there would be gold and silver mountains in Xiangcheng, so they followed them. Now that the gold and silver mountains have not been seen, their food is almost gone. If this continues, his Wouldn't the advantage turn into a disadvantage?

Ever since, Dong Kui decisively ordered a truce, ending the endless siege of the past few days.

He tidied up everyone, and then put all the food in the pot, so that they could open up and have a full meal!

At the same time, all the wounded were removed, and all the damaged weapons were replaced with new ones. Judging by this posture, they were planning to launch a general attack!

At this time, there were many cracks and incompletes on the city wall of the north gate, and there were not a few people injured. Although they had prepared for a long time, under the continuous attack of the rebels, the boulders and logs they had prepared were almost consumed. , if the rebels attack again at this time, their chances of defending it are very slim...

Seeing the rebels outside the city making a fire and cooking in the open air, the wounded commander Bai Heng proposed to Mr. Liu.

"Sir! Instead of waiting for them to rest and launch another general attack, how about we sneak attack now? The city gate can no longer withstand their attack again, we take the initiative to attack, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!"

But Mr. Liu knew that this would not work. Dong Kui is a deep-minded person, as can be seen from the way he attacked the city in the past few days. How could this kind of person leave an obvious flaw?

I'm afraid he is waiting for him to open the city gate now, so that they can take advantage of it.

Instead of going out to die, it is better to stick to the last moment.

So he shook his head, "Now is not the time to make a surprise attack."

"When will it be? Are we going to die in the city?!"

Mr. Liu's expression was slightly moved, but he still shook his head as he looked towards the sky.

"Now, it's not the time..."

On the other side, the south wall was also smashed into holes.

In the continuous impact, the wall near the watchtower obviously couldn't last long.

Once the wall collapses, all the water bandits on the boat will definitely swim over and fight with all their strength. How can these unarmed people in their city be opponents?

But Xie Linlang didn't seem to know the consequences of the collapse of the wall. In the past two days, she didn't do anything except repair the wall.

Finally, the movement of the opponent smashing the wall was much quieter, not because there were no more stones, but because the trebuchets were almost broken.

Seeing that the trebuchets were thrown with all their strength, and the stones could not reach the city wall, the water bandits gradually stopped their behavior, and the river finally calmed down.

Seeing this, Xie Linlang climbed up the city wall alone. Looking at the bumpy wall and the mess all over the floor, she smiled and asked mockingly.

"So you ran all the way here, tested the distance secretly, and carried stones back and forth, but in the end you can only do this? Can't even smash a wall of mine?"

Seeing that she still did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, Lian Ke smiled darkly.

"If it's just like this, how dare I come?"
