Chapter 956
"Boom--"
The huge stone, like a meteor, formed a curved parabola in the air, carrying a great force and directly hit the Yangzhou city wall. The entire city wall trembled a little, leaving a sunken shallow pit on the wall.
More than a dozen Song soldiers surrounded them, approaching the female wall tightly, avoiding the attack of the huge rocks. As the huge rocks hit in, a large amount of dust instantly raised, and the soldiers were covered in gray faces and looked fearful.
The female wall is the walls that are raised and undulating and built on the city wall. The soldiers shoot arrows and peek out from the female wall, just like a woman's "shouting of the air", so it is called the female wall in an image.
"How many times have you smashed the city wall today?" Someone asked loudly with his head close to the female wall.
"About three times-" An old man spat, spit out the dust in his mouth, and said solemnly: "I counted it seriously."
"Damn!" Everyone scratched their heads, their faces gloomy and terrifying: "A few days ago, this stone was hit less than three times a day, and it has been three times less than noon today. It's amazing to continue. We all have to do it."
"The head of the capital, it's not a solution to keep guarding. Why don't you break out of the city and make people smash it in vain."
The deputy said with a serious expression on his face.
"You think the superiors don't want it." He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I have been out three times in the past half month, and they have been beaten back. The Tang army inspected day and night, and they encountered a crossbow or a stone cast. Every time they were all gone, they were in a deserted place, and they were defeated by soldiers and generals."
"This Yangzhou City is really not able to get out of."
Huh--
Everyone took a deep breath, and it was really like staying in the lonely city.
"Du Tou, I heard from Yangzhou that it is almost plum rain. The raucous rain is falling, and the Tang people will definitely withdraw their troops by then..."
"It should be—" Du shook his head and whispered: "The Tang people don't know what. We are all northerners. In this rainy weather, people can get moldy. Let alone food, there is not much firewood for heating."
"We big men may have to get wet in the rain? Then a large area of illness will fall into ill. Brothers must make some straw to make straw raincoats. It is best to buy some herbs just in case..."
When everyone heard what Du said, they nodded in agreement.
"Du Tou, you are so knowledgeable, no wonder you are so young as Du Tou-"
"Hey, if I hadn't been too young, I would have become the chief of staff."
Everyone praised and praised it. Li Jilong smiled slightly, quite mature. He said, "Everyone should be careful. It is best to survive."
Li Jilong looked at Tang Jun outside the female wall and the endless bombing sounds in his ears. He was in a complicated mood and his desire to make achievements became much weaker. After all, it was a young man whose desire to survive occupied his mind.
He was originally from a famous family, and his father was Li Chuyun. He followed his father to fight, but he was unwilling to follow him. As the eldest son, he had already joined the army at the age of seventeen and was just a capitalist.
I originally wanted to make achievements, but unexpectedly I fell into a dead city, which made him quite melancholy, but the blood in his bones made him unwilling to give in.
As time goes by, the huge Yangzhou City has drifted, and the hope of victory is getting smaller and smaller. My father’s pressure is probably extremely high!
At this time, Wang Shenqi and Li Chuyun were also on the corner tower, looking at the scene in the distance.
The two of them watched like this, and after a while, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and their mood was extremely melancholy.
"This city cannot be defended!" Li Chuyun sighed and said, "I have asked people. In less than two days, the plum rain will come, and the entire city will fall into the rain."
"Look for a good time to break through!" Wang Shenqi shook his head and said helplessly: "Now the food in the city is close, and even if there is food, the doors and beams have been removed, and there is not much firewood. As soon as the plum rain comes, the wind and cold rises, and the imperial guards will collapse without fighting."
Yangzhou was besieged for more than half a month, and there was not much food left in the big city with hundreds of thousands of people. This was fine. At worst, it was just eating meat, but there was not much firewood, and there was no slight cooked food.
Without firewood, you cannot resist the cold. Plum rain is a great difficulty for the Tang army, but it is even more harmful to the Song army.
The imperial guards from the north have no resistance to plum rain. In these days, many imperial guards have been sick and seeking medical treatment.
"What is the more difficult Changsha and Lingnan like this in the south?" Wang Shenqi suddenly wondered how the people in the south lived.
"They eat rice, and we eat wheat, which makes it even more wet and cold!" Li Chuyun said in a deep voice: "That's true. Only then will Li Jia fight every year to see the Central Plains!"
"Maybe!" Wang Shenqi nodded and said, "However, Yangzhou City has been so hard-working, without reinforcements, and no food and grass, while the Tang army is endless. Then the Yangtze River is its food route. How can I fight?" Everyone praised and praised it. Li Jilong smiled slightly, quite mature. He said, "Everyone should be careful, it is best to survive."
