The city wall was not stupidly waiting for the enemy to attack, but was making full preparations. Some soldiers were burning golden juice. The so-called golden juice was dung soup. Although this thing was dirty, it was a powerful weapon to defend the city and attack the soldiers who attacked the city. This thing was difficult to block. Once it was poured onto the human body, it would burn the skin. The feces contained various bacteria, which were difficult to heal after scalding. Another group of soldiers were burning the oil. The boiling point of the oil was higher than that of water. If it was poured on the boiling oil, it was not a joke. Death could not solve the problem. It was cooked immediately. And at the right time, if a fire was fired, the oil would burn immediately, and the siege was terrible. However, it had been surrounded for more than half a month, and there was not much oil in the city. Now the fried dough stick stall in the city had long disappeared, and it was replaced by a noodle shop - the fried dough stick without fried dough sticks, wasn't it just a thicker noodles?

In addition to these two liquid urban defense equipment, there are also solid urban defense facilities on the city - wooden rocks. According to the suggestions of Lu Ping, the garrison of Cangzhou, these wooden rollers have been improved today. First, iron rings were nailed on both sides of the wooden rollers, and ropes were tied to the iron rings, which became recyclable wooden rollers. There were fewer and fewer thick wood in the city. If the wood was thrown around like before, then you could only throw fine wooden strips. Although this kind of wooden roller could not hit the person at the bottom of the city wall and its power was weakened, it was better to be used repeatedly. Not only that, Lu Ping also made people nail many nails horizontally and vertically on the wooden rollers, turning into mace-style wooden rollers. If this guy goes down, the siege will have to take away half of his life even if he dies.

The sound of "Ku" was the sound of a siege ladder laying on the city wall. It seemed that the rioters were still stubborn and used the most casualties to attack the city. Anyway, there were many people. It didn't matter if they died more than a few more.

At Xu Ruzhi's order, many soldiers stepped forward and pushed the ladder with their hands or sticks. The ladder for the chaotic people was temporarily built, very simple and easy to overturn. The chaotic people on the chaotic people fell down with a "wow" and chaotic people. The chaotic people fired arrows one after another, and the soldiers guarding the city were all pushing the ladder with all their hearts, without paying attention to the enemy's arrows. The casualties were heavy, and many soldiers screamed and fell down the city wall.

The ladder of the chaotic people finally stood firm on the city wall. Each ladder was covered with chaotic people. Xu Ruzhi immediately ordered people to pour gold juice and boiling oil down. He heard a "chila" sound, climbed in the first place, fantasizing that the first person to enter the city to rob and vent the beasts | The chaotic people who wanted were covered with heads and faces. Screaming and falling off the ladder, they smashed the soldiers behind them together, rolling and howling below. The second group was ready and held up their shields. The poured gold juice and hot oil immediately splashed. Although a few hot oils splashed on themselves, they made them tremble, but they were not seriously injured and would not roll down the ladder. The unlucky ones were those who did not hold the shield, and they had not started climbing the ladder. How could they know that God had caused trouble, and they were burned to death and burned countless times.

When the rioters climbed to two-thirds of the city wall, they saw victory in sight. Xu Ruzhi shouted loudly: "Take the rolling wood!"

The rolling wood rolled down the ladder along the cloud ladder and smashed the rioters at the top. Then the rolling wood was pulled up again. The blood was dripping on the rolling wood, and there were a few pieces of human skin hanging. It seemed that the person who was hit must be miserable. Despite this, the rolling wood still suffered some losses. The heavy casualties made the rioters crazy and no longer worried about their own people siege. The arrows were thrown up on the city wall and suppressed the city defense team with bows and arrows. More than a dozen soldiers who threw the rolling wood were shot by the arrows, and they dropped off the city tower with their wolf teeth, and plowed out a blood band in the crowd.

Xu Ruzhijian was getting more and more people under the city wall, and became more and more dense. He sneered and said, "Throw ten thousand enemies."

The soldiers lit the leads of ten thousand enemies and threw them down. Ten thousand enemies were spinning and spraying flames. All the people were invincible, and ghosts cried and howled, with heavy casualties.

Ten thousand enemy enemies are burning weapons made of black gunpowder, and outsourcing mud shells are a powerful weapon developed recently. When you ignite the lead and throw them down, ten thousand enemy enemies will spray flames while rotating. It is a weapon with very terrifying lethality.

Cangzhou is close to the seaside, but there are few Japanese pirates. It is very peaceful and will not be equipped with weapons like 10,000 enemies. However, the chieftain of Guizhou She Chongming rebelled. The Ministry of War transported materials to the troops that suppressed the rebellion. The Beijing-Hang Grand Canal. As a result, the civilians in Cangzhou were in trouble and the materials could not be transported out. In order to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of the rioters, the escort officer ordered all the materials to be transported into Cangzhou City. Xu Ru learned that there were weapons like "10,000 enemies", and forced requisitions. It was also a blessing that there were such weapons, otherwise Cangzhou City might have been captured long ago.

Despite the various patterns on the city wall, the rioters slowly climbed up the city wall, starting with one or two, then a group of rioters shouted loudly under the city, thinking that Cangzhou City was about to be broken.

Xu Ruzhi saw a chaotic man climbing up the city wall along the ladder and showing his ugly face. He picked up a stone that had been prepared on the ground, sneered, and said, "I'll give you a gift."

After saying that, he threw the stone over.

The rioter was stunned. A gift? He couldn't help but catch the stone. The stone was very heavy. He leaned back and moved the center of gravity back. He stood unsteadily and screamed and fell down the city wall.

Xu Ruzhi shouted: "Soldiers, the time is coming, you must guard the city wall! Your parents, wives and children are all in the city. If you can't defend the city, your parents will be killed by them, your wives and daughters will be ruined by them, and your son will be massacred by them!"

The guard Lu Ping tried hard to cut down a rioter, but he was not careful that another rioter was slashing at him. Lu Ping couldn't block it and thought to himself, my life was over. Unexpectedly, the rioter slowly collapsed to the ground, and the knife wiped his neck.

Lu Ping wondered who saved him, but saw an arrow inserted into the vest of the rioter. The arrows on the city had been used up, and the rioters had arrows in the vest, and his back was facing outside the city, which means that he was killed by his own people.

The people also came to the city to help defend the city. The martial arts style in Cangzhou was quite strong, and adults and children were all practicing martial arts. Seeing that the city was in danger of being broken, they also heard about the miserable experiences of the people in Nanpi County and nearby people, so they went to the city to participate in the war.

With the addition of the new force, the defense line of the city wall gradually stabilized, and the rioters were killed and retreated.

At this moment, I heard a loud "dong...dong...dong...dong" sound, and the entire city wall was shaking. Xu Ruzhi looked at it and saw a strange car hitting the city gate.

"What weird thing is this?"

"Mr. Xu, this is a siege car." The defensive Lu Ping had seen this kind of weapon, "There is a siege hammer inside, which is specially used to attack the city gate."

Several soldiers threw down ten thousand enemies, but the flames sprayed out by ten thousand enemies could only spray outside the siege car, and there was no way to deal with the people inside the car. Moreover, the siege car was covered with a layer of mud on the outside, so even if you wanted to burn the car, there was no way.

Lu Ping picked up a huge stone and smashed it towards the siege cart, shouting loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you smash it quickly? We don't have a cart here, and once the city gate is broken, we will be finished."

The people around him suddenly realized and hurriedly picked up the stones on the ground and rolled the woods on the cart. It was not until the stones and rolled the woods on the city walls were exhausted and the siege carts dispersed.

The battle lasted until noon.

Hearing the other party's "rude to retreat" gong, Lu Ping gasped and said, "Mr. Xu, when will the reinforcements from the court arrive? Our city guard supplies are almost used up. Even the ten thousand enemies that Lord wants to come have left, and the last one hundred. If this continues, Cangzhou City will not be able to be preserved."

Xu Ruzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, the memorial for help has already been conveyed to the heavens. But I didn't expect the situation to worsen to this extent, and the memorial was not too serious. It was not until the rioters surrounded the city that I realized that I underestimated them. However, the letter could no longer be sent."

However, Xu Ruzhi's expression turned firm and said, "The emperor's holy grace and the people's kindness, I can only repay it with death."

Lu Ping laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, a literati, can sacrifice his life for the country, so I, as a general, will even have to wear a horse and a body."

Although the two looked relaxed, they knew in their hearts that if no reinforcements arrived, Cangzhou City would inevitably fall. It would be fine if they died, and the people of the whole city would suffer. (To be continued)
