Dianchong is located in the southwest by mountains and water, and the southwest corner is a high mountain and long ridge. It is called Tianguoling, and the Huai River flows out from the northwest of the ridge, flows through the northwest of the city and turns to the north of the city and then turns to the east of the city. It converges with the small source of Huai River, a small source of the east of the ridge, and becomes the source of the Dianchong moat.

The moat excavated in the southeast is close to the city wall. The city wall is made of bricks and stones, about two meters high, and a brick wall is built on the city with square holes in the wall, slabs are laid on the bricks, and layers of pavilions are built on the boards.

Houses are installed on the pavilion, and buildings are built on the pavilion, together with the city wall, the height is six or seven zhang, and the lower one is four or five zhang. The attic is surrounded by the mountains and the water is majestic, with the gull's tail high and tilted against the wind and clouds.

This city was built by King Fan Huda of Linyi more than a hundred years ago. It was a new capital built with the Central Plains city as a model. It is the best prop for King Linyi to show off the prestige of Linyi in all dynasties.

The city has four gates, the east gate is the main gate, and there is a moat outside the city, which is enough to consume a large number of lives of invading enemy soldiers.

The East Gate Suspension Bridge had been closed, and a large number of Linyi soldiers bent their bows and arrows in the attic, preparing to shoot the enemy troops approaching the city. A jar of shit and urine was lifted up to the city tower and started heating. The wooden and rocks that had been prepared on the top of the city were also ready, and they were waiting for the enemy to die.

The enemy came very quickly, but Dian Chong's garrison did not react slowly. Before the victory or defeat was decided, the city gate was closed. When the opponent's troops arrived at the city, the defenders had already responded.

Although the soldiers were a little panicked, at least most of them had already climbed to the city to prepare for war, and there had already been stockpiling the city guarding supplies, so they would not be caught off guard.

At this time, the enemy was building shelves on the open space hundreds of steps away from the city. Some looked like trenches, while others looked like ladders or siege towers. After observing for a while, the defenders at the top of the city found that the Zhou army was building shelves very fast.

It seemed that the wood was prepared in advance and assembled in a fixed style. In less than half an hour, more than ten tall shelves stood up, but they did not look like cloud ladders or siege towers.

There are many people in the attic in the city that pour water outward, soaking the wooden boards on the outside of the attic to prevent the enemy from setting fire with rockets. The distance of more than a hundred steps made the defenders feel that the opponent's elevated roads are not threatening, because at this distance, the lethality of the bow and arrow is almost negligible, let alone rockets.

Apart from the large crossbow, no weapon can cause substantial damage to the city walls a hundred steps away. Dianchong City has a city wall and a moat to protect it. The defenders felt that the scene at the mouth of the river just now would not happen again.

The enemy's magic tricks were too terrible, but now they were more than a hundred steps away from the city. I think the other party could not harm the defenders at this distance. They were confident that they could not last until the reinforcements around came, but the subsequent attack was beyond the expectations of Linyi's soldiers.

The horn of the enemy's position sounded, and a long wooden pole on the elevated tower suddenly turned, throwing a huge ball of fireballs towards the city wall.

The fireball drew an arc in the air, passed through a high attic, and fell into a house in the city. The rising fire pillar ignited the thatched roof. Before the defenders could react, another fireball flew over and landed on the open space outside the city wall, splashing countless sparks.

The enemy's equipment was able to attack the city at a distance of more than a hundred steps!

The guard became nervous and asked the soldiers to prepare a large number of buckets and cloth to deal with the upcoming fire attack. The enemy positions outside the city were noisy for a while, and the other party seemed to be adjusting the elevated road. After a while, the sound of trumpets sounded again, and more than ten fireballs flew towards the city wall one after another.

More than half of the fireballs hit the attic attic at the top of the city, and the burning tinder was sputtered, and the fire was lit wherever they went. Even if the guards used wet cloth to slap them with a wet cloth: these burning tinder oils can even ignite the wet cloth to put out the fire.

He could only pour a bucket of water on it to temporarily suppress the fire, but the enemy's elevated fire balls were shot very quickly. After several rounds, the smoke from Dian Chongdong City was rolling. The attic on the city wall had turned into torches. The archers could not wait and could only withdraw, and their suppression ability outside the city suddenly became weaker.

The city walls and attics used to demonstrate the majesty of Linyi Capital have an effect of being extravagant.

Several trench bridges span the moat. Several pointed wooden donkeys that had just been built were driven by humans and moved towards the city wall through the trench bridge. One of them went directly towards the East Gate Suspension Bridge. It seemed that they wanted to destroy the suspension bridge and then destroy the city gate.

The defenders endured the smoke and pushed stones as big as millstones into the gap above the city gate hole for later use. The stones weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms fell at a height of about two meters, and no pointed wooden donkey could withstand it, let alone the products built in a hurry.

There were archers on the top of the city who endured the smoke and fire, but the arrows shot on the pointed wooden donkey without any effect. The defenders could only watch as the other party approached the already raised suspension bridge through the trench bridge.

The defenders held their breath and let the pointed-headed wooden donkey break through the suspension bridge, then slowly entered the door opening. The soldiers above the door opening observed downwards, and after confirming that it was correct, they pushed the stone towards the gap.

There was only a muffled sound, and the stone hit the pointed wooden donkey, but it was only torn to the bottom, but it did not break it apart.

The sharp-headed wooden donkey was beyond imagination, but the rockfall of the defenders still played a role: the enemy soldiers in the sharp-headed wooden donkey fled, and they were about to run out regardless of the arrows behind them.

Behind the city gate, Linyi soldiers pushed the door and knives to block the door opening. At this moment, the soldiers near the city gate seemed to hear a "hissing" sound from the outside of the city gate, and a pungent smell came, as if something was burning rapidly.

Is it a fire attack?

The soldiers' questions did not last long, and with a loud bang, the world became quiet in an instant. Light and fire broke through the city gate to wrap them up, and then there was a violent vibration, as if the earth was shaking.

Accompanied by the loud thunder, thick smoke rose into the sky at the east gate of Dian Chong City, mixed with a large number of bricks and tiles and broken limbs of people. The Lin Yi soldiers on the city walls on both sides were shaken to the east and west, and the Zhou army Li Lian soldiers who were helping the battle outside the city were also frightened and pale.

The thick smoke dissipated, and the east gate of Dianchong City had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a ruined wall. Even if you hike, you can easily cross the ruins and enter the city.

The tide-like trumpet sounded, and several trench bridges moved quickly towards the moat in front of the ruins under human power. Following closely behind were countless Zhou army soldiers and soldiers in charge, holding various weapons, cheering and charging towards the break.

The Linyi soldiers in the city were frightened by the bombardment of the sky thunder just now. They had no intention of blocking the mouth. They dispersed like frightened birds regardless of the general's loud scolding.

On the dirt roadside, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang did not appreciate the black smoke rising from the sky, but looked at a stone tablet beside the road and asked Wang Jun: "What is written on this broken tablet? Can Jing Wen recognize it?"

"Uh, I don't know Sanskrit."

"Don't you know Sanskrit? Isn't Jingwen very much involved in Buddhist scriptures?"

"King, what I read below is Chinese translation."

A common man hurried forward: "King, the monument is engraved with the deeds of Fan Huda, King of Linyi."

"Fan Huda?" Yuwen Wen read these three words several times after hearing this, and then asked Wang Xu: "Is it Fan Huda, the grandson of Fan Wen, the King of Linyi?"

“It should be.”

"Oh, the essay of killing the Han corpses everywhere in the slaughter of Rinan and flattening Xijuan City. The stele says it is his grandson's great achievements..."

Yuwen Wen looked at the stone tablet with a expressionless face, and said nothing. The atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong. At this time, Tian Zhengyue, who was covered in clothes, came to receive the order: "King, the east gate of Dianchong City has been broken by our army. What should we do next? Please give me some advice."

"Didn't I say it beforehand? I want to give King Linyi a surprise."

"King, this matter... I will want to ask for instructions again."

"That's it..." Yuwen Wen pondered and looked at Dian Chongcheng in the distance, "That hero, my enemy."
