world festival

It was already dark, and the offensive and defensive sides were like two tired beasts, licking their wounds while staring at each other's actions.The battlefield became quiet. A group of Zhenhai soldiers came out of the city from Tumen, and began to bring the bodies of their own soldiers back into the city. Not far from them, a group of Huzhou soldiers watched them quietly, and No attack was launched. After Zhenhai soldiers collected the corpses and returned to the city, they also began to carry their own corpses. The guards at the top of the city did not make any hostile actions. On this matter, both sides reached a tacit agreement.

But under this peaceful appearance, there is a busy scene inside the city wall. There is a big hole under the city wall, and it is eerie to know where it leads. Loads of soil are constantly being transported out of it. Gloomy, he kept urging his subordinates to move faster.At this time, the hourglass on the side had run out of flow, and a captain called out to the inside twice, and after a while, seven or eight men covered in mud crawled out of the hole, already extremely exhausted.The substitute who had been waiting for a long time jumped in immediately and started working.Gao Xu grabbed the leader's arm anxiously, and asked in a low voice, "How far have you dug?"

The man was extremely thirsty, opened and closed his bloody lips a few times, but couldn't speak, Gao Xu quickly grabbed a gourd filled with water from the side, handed it over, and the man gulped it down hard After two mouthfuls, he replied: "It's been another Zhangxu. Fortunately, there are no rocks in this section, it's all soil. In this way, we can dig under the siege tower tomorrow morning." The man answered Gao Xu's question. Then, he picked up a piece of mustache from the side, gnawed two bites, jumped down into the hole, and said vaguely: "Go down and watch a certain family, so as not to let these bastards dig in the wrong direction. It's a big deal."

It turned out that after dark, because Huzhou soldiers did not have a numerical advantage over the defenders, Lu Fang did not attack overnight, but the two huge siege towers were still leaning against the city wall, and each was guarded by hundreds of elite soldiers.These two siege towers were like two fishbone, stuck in the defender's throat, making him extremely uncomfortable.Because the siege tower is very huge, it is impossible to overturn it with a push rod; although it is made of wood, it is coated with plaster and covered with fireproof materials such as cowhide, so it is difficult to attack with fire. To seize it by force, if there are too few troops that can be invested from the city wall, if you go out of the city, firstly, the opponent can shoot with ballista from the earth hill, and secondly, the morale of the soldiers will be low after leaving the city. It will be a complete defeat, but it is not beautiful.So Gao Xu planned to dig a tunnel from the city to the ground of the siege tower, and then hollow out its ground, then its huge weight would naturally collapse itself, exactly where one of the siege towers was. Not far away, there is a tunnel leading from the city to the outside of the city. It only needs to be dug four or five feet horizontally. Therefore, Gao Xu selected an experienced lieutenant to command the soldiers to take turns. The tunnel was dug under the siege tower.

In the early morning of the next day, it was the turn of the Sifang led by Niu Zhijie to attack the city. The Huzhou soldiers of the brigade were preparing to push the siege machinery and rush towards the city wall, but a terrifying scene appeared in front of them. The siege city on the right The tower was slowly but firmly leaning to the left, and the soldiers in the siege tower let out desperate cries, frantically trying to rush out of the narrow tower mouth, but the speed at which the siege tower was leaning was getting faster and faster. Soon, it finally turned into a fall. The entire huge tower fell heavily on the ground, splashing a large amount of dust. Although the distance was far, the soldiers of the Huzhou soldiers could feel the vibration from the ground. The fall was violent this time.The desperate cries of the sergeants in the tower seemed to be cut off by a sharp knife, and replaced by the thunderous cheers of the guards in Hangzhou.

"Bastard, go and find out, who is the general guarding the city, who actually used this treacherous trick to hurt more than two hundred of my strong men." Lu Fang was about to faint from anger. It is harmed by technical means like this,
