Zhao Kuangyin personally walked up to the fierce battle city and looked down at the city. The soldiers and horses were swaying like a vast ocean! The tall ladder trucks were like monsters in an ant colony. The noise was like waves, making people's ears kept "buzzing". The stones thrown by the catapult cart and the crossbow arrows of the crossbows flew down one after another, and the rockets were flying brilliantly in the air. The formation was very large, but they fell into the East China Sea like small stones, and even a wave could not arouse.

At this moment, he imagined that there was a huge wildfire that could spark a prairie from the wilderness under the city, or a tornado whistling by, which would have caused so many people and horses to be destroyed in the sky and earth to ashes! But no one mastered the power of the gods. Only mortals had the weapons of mortals attacking the vast army without any pain.

Even the unexpected "stone-towed cannon" that Guo Blacksmith used was scary, but it could not achieve the power of divine power.

However, attacking and defending cities is an ancient method of war. Sometimes a slight advantage can affect balance. What amazed Zhao Kuangyin was the morale and combat power of the Zhou army siege! In theory, the ants will not dispatch the most elite troops to attack the city. He heard the sound of Shu dialect in the city, and he probably judged that the surrendered soldiers on the side of the city were surrendered soldiers on Shu... The surrendered soldiers dared to climb the wall to attack? The courage and morale required for this kind of attack is no smaller than the field charge!

Zhao Kuangyin is an experienced general. Of course, he knew that even if there were 100,000 troops on the battlefield, most of them would just follow the orders of the generals in the rear, and rarely face the situation of facing death and fighting to the death. Therefore, strict military discipline and able to obey military orders are considered a powerful army... It is not that easy for those who truly have the courage to charge in front of the army, and it is a test of the single qualifications of the soldiers.

He had to re-examine the combat power of Zhou's army.

Arrows flying around on their heads, shouting for killing was at their feet, and Zhao Kuangyin's personal soldiers were holding shields in front and escorting nervously.

At this moment, the shouts of "Hey! Hey" not far away attracted Zhao Kuangyin's attention. He looked sideways and saw three soldiers lifting a heavy 100-pound round stone together! The gunpowder cannon of the Zhou army was thrown up, and the Northern Han army should use stone bullets to smash the Zhou army.

The bare female wall in front of them had been destroyed by shelling, and a ladder was aimed at the gap. Suddenly, a "ah" screamed, and a soldier holding the stone was penetrated by an arrow! The weight of the stone immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground. Another soldier fell to the ground, screaming "ah" and screamed "ah" and the heavy stone hit his foot.

The general behind shouted, "Push the stone down!"

But after a while, a soldier of Zhou had already climbed up the ladder and shouted, "I am the first to go up the wall!" According to the military orders of Zhou's army, the first person to attack the city and survive must remember great achievements. The soldiers will immediately become the deputy commander of this command, and it will take effect immediately! Moreover, such people will enter the emperor's sight.

As soon as the words were finished, a group of soldiers in Northern Han soldiers holding cherry guns rushed to the gap. The cherry guns stabbed the Zhou soldiers, and the sound of metal hitting "ding ding dangdang" was heard. Several cherry guns stabbed him but did not pierce the armor! But many people's fierce stabs pushed the soldier back, and the man staggered and was overturned and turned over. A terrifying scream came immediately, and then a dull "bang" sound was heard.

A moment later, another soldier jumped up. He saw a large group of spearmen guarding the wall, shouting with red eyes: "Long live the Great Zhou!" He rushed up with his sword and shield regardless of his life. After a moment, he was stabbed to the ground by the rioters. The soldiers of the Northern Han army shouted and surrounded him, holding the sword and gun at his feet and stabbed wildly. "Ding ding clattered" sounded, and blood was splattered in the crowd, and some soldiers were covered with flesh and blood on their heads and faces.

Two more Zhou soldiers rushed forward one after another, and both sides slashed desperately, and the swords and guns cut on the armor like the sound of a blacksmith shop thrust's iron.

At this moment, a soldier came up with a black oil barrel. A general of the Northern Han army personally took the black oil barrel and poured it downwards! As a torch was thrown out, the flames and black smoke rose together, and waves of miserable screams sounded from below!

Fierce tin oil is very good at dealing with cloud ladders because it is very sticky. Whether it is tung oil or sesame oil, when splashing on the cloud ladders like water, most of them will flow through the gaps between the ladders; but fierce tin oil is different, it will stick to the ladders and flow along the wood... It's a pity that there are too few and cannot be consumed. These things are transported from the south for thousands of miles away and then traveled to Youzhou.

The city walls were rolling and bricks and stones, and many cloud ladders were burning with fire. The smell of blood and the burning smell spread among the shouts.

Not long after, the Zhou soldiers under the city finally dropped the broken cloud ladder beside the city wall and retreated like a tide. The Northern Han soldiers on the city wall shouted and shouted to celebrate.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin said, "Let's go down the city first."

So he brought a few military generals and soldiers down from the city. As expected, as he expected, he heard the sound of cannons outside the city "boom boom boom...", and a big stone rolled and flew up to the top of the city. A big stone just hit the crowd of guards who were in large numbers, and blood splashed, and a group of people were panicked and dodged. There were stone bullets flying up to hit the female wall, which was even more lethal! Although the city wall was spacious, the place was still limited. The soldiers who were fighting to fight to the Zhou army to attack the city just now were very dense. The bricks and stones on the female wall were violently hit and flew around. Some soldiers covered their faces and screamed, and blood soaked out from their fingers.

A large number of dense infantry were shouted by military generals to evacuate down the city. Several earth stoves and pots burning "golden juice" were also destroyed by stone bullets, and the "golden juice" flowed on the ground. The floor tiles on the city wall were smashed and splashed, and the above was in a mess.

The stone bullets were very large, and one person might not be able to kill a person, but they could not withstand hundreds of doors and round after round. There were countless strong men who used to dig stones to mobilize them.

Occasionally, another one flew over the city wall. When Zhao Kuangyin looked up, he saw a round stone rolling down and quickly flew into a second-story attic. With a "boom", the heavy stone smashed straight through the roof. As soon as the beam broke, the entire roof collapsed, and fragments of wood and soil fell all over the street, and a large amount of dust rose up.

Zhao Kuangyin looked back at the neighborhoods near the city walls and many houses were destroyed. It seemed like an earthquake was caused, and there was a ruin!

Shi Shouxin said: "The Zhou army's tactic seems to be to consume the Jinyang defenders, first attack the city, and then bombard it with cannons."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that this is the case at the moment... But I think Guo Blacksmith is a man with a high understanding and never sticks to the rules. If I guess correctly, he will soon re-format the tactics."
