?Under the moonlight, the Anzhou Army's catapult was thrown overnight. Of course, considering that the equipment's ability to withstand batches of shelling was to allow the catapult and operators to have sufficient rest.

In order to avoid the defenders leaving the city to attack, the Anzhou army arranged soldiers to guard the catapult. They rested on their heads and put on weapons and clothes to sleep to increase their sense of security for the soldiers who operated the catapult at night.

Each catapult was lit torches to light the camp. The defenders looked at the bright Anzhou army's positions and gritted their teeth but could do anything. In order to avoid the Anzhou army's sneak attack at night, the Xiangyang defenders arranged sentries on the city wall, but they suffered heavy losses overnight, and they were all killed or seriously injured in the continuous stone rain.

On the morning of the next day, Wang Yi, who had not closed his eyes all night, took advantage of the artillery attack and walked up to the city. After only one night, the arrow towers at the city top of Xiangyang had disappeared. The towers on the east, south and west walls had turned into ruins.

"Empress, the enemy is about to start shelling, hurry up and avoid it." The follower nervously persuaded Wang Yi to go down the city wall.

After coming down, Wang Yi looked at the generals surrounding him dejectedly and asked, "The rebels are very anxious to attack the city. Do you have any good plans?"

There was no one responding. What could I do when facing an "witchcraft" general like Anzhou Army that I had never seen before? No manpower means that I could throw stones and shelling day and night. Now the facts have proved that it is indeed an attack day and night.

Stones can be obtained from Hutou Mountain in the southwest of the city. Just now, the provocateurs at the city head also saw the rebels arranged a convoy to travel between the camp and Hutou Mountain. They must be transporting stones. Now there are no mobile troops outside Xiangyang to stop them. How long can the Xiangyang city wall be withstood if it continues like this?

Although there is a moat outside the city that is 100 meters wide, but the arrow tower damaged the city wall and collapsed everywhere, how can archers attack the rebels crossing the river and attacking the city from a high place?

Seeing everyone silent, Wang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought he could stay in Xiangyang for several months now, now it seems that it is a luxury to be able to survive for a month.

"Your instructor has not been asleep all night, so it is better to go back to your residence to rest first. Today, we are responsible for the defense of Xiangyang City." The generals couldn't help but persuade Wang Yi's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black dots flew out of the city. The defenders looked up and saw that the black dots were dragging the fire behind them, and they waited past the black dots above the city and suddenly emitted firelight and turned into burning fireballs and fell into the city.

"Bang bang bang" The fireball fell into the house group shortly after it became thick smoke. Before the defenders could react, there were fireballs flying into the city like rain outside the city. For a moment, thick smoke rolled in the city and firelight flashed in it.

"They are setting fire to the city!" Wang Yi ignored the rest and directed all the people to put out the fire separately. Most of the roofs of the houses were made of wooden boards. If the fire could not be extinguished in the early stage, it would be troublesome.

"Empress, the enemy has started to pile up the earthen mountain!" A general came to report in panic. When everyone heard this, they ran up the south of the city and went up to the wall to check the enemy situation. They saw that on the outer edge of the moat under the city, soldiers in Anzhou were crowded with people scrambling to pile up the earthen mountain.

There are tall chariots on both sides of the Tushan Mountain with a large base. The roof is almost parallel to the head of Xiangyang City. There are many archers bent their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the defenders at the city. The distance between the two is less than 200 meters, barely within the range of the strong bow and hard crossbow.

"Collection of archers to the top of the city!" Wang Yi gritted his teeth at the bumpy city wall, which was covered in bruises. Now the other party started to pile up the soil on the second day. If he didn't fight hard, it would be too late!

"Organize the dead soldiers to prepare to go out of the city to attack!"

At the same time, on the Han River, Xiangyang naval warships were rushing downstream toward the southward of the Rudaocheng River. In order to protect the Hannan Floating Bridge, the Anzhou army had already pulled up an iron cable on the river surface near the Rudao to prevent the watercraft from moving south.

The Han River flowing south to the west turned a right angle bend near Rudaocheng and turned to the southeast. The east bank of Rudaocheng is in a right angle in the inner bend, while the west bank opposite it is in a right angle in the outer bend.

The Hengjiang iron cable was on the river downstream of Rudao City. The navy planned to release the fire boat to burn the iron cable. Considering that the effective distance must be close to the corner of the Han River, the setting boat was on the fire boat, just as the navy warships brought the fire boat to the turning point, the Anzhou army, which had been waiting for a long time on the west bank, began to attack with giant crossbows.

The whistling giant arrows rushed towards the warships in flames to ignite them one by one. However, more warships continued to rush forward without fear of death and then began to ignite the fire ships tied to the bow, and then loosened them. The dense fire ships led the entire ship to the fire downstream and were caught by the Hengjiang iron chain.

As the fire ships accumulate more and more, the middle section of the Hengjiang iron chain was burned to gradually turn red. At this time, the navy warships heading south also lost 40%. The remaining warships waited for the iron chain to burn down and immediately rushed downstream to burn the Hannan Floating Bridge.

The Anzhou military on both sides of the Han River kept firing on the warships in the river with giant crossbows. The Xiangyang navy, which endured the fire arrows attacking the ships on the river, looked at the downstream anxiously. The fire ships piled up at the iron cables were almost burning out, but the iron cables were still intact.

Another warship was ignited by fire arrows and could not hold back to sink. The generals of the Xiangyang Navy were struggling whether to make a move to return home to the iron chain hundreds of meters downstream and finally broke!

"Run over!"

Cheers broke out on the Xiangyang naval warship. They suffered heavy casualties and waited so much that the iron cable was burned downstream and rushed downstream to destroy the Hannan floating bridge. However, before they could sail far away, they were desperate to find another iron cable in the river ahead!

"The marshal has an order to destroy the Hannan Floating Bridge at all costs!" A general gritted his teeth and ordered the drum to beat. All warships continued to go south and break through the iron chain. If the fire ships were not enough, then chop them with an axe!

......

Outside the east gate of Xiangyang City, corpses are everywhere.

In order to prevent the Anzhou Army from sending elite troops out of the city to attack the catapult, the defenders chose the raid position farthest from the Anzhou Army camp to raid. However, the Anzhou Army, who had been prepared, immediately gave them a "going but not returning."

When the Anzhou army was besieged, they had already dug trenches outside the city to prevent the defenders from raiding, and they laid giant crossbows to aim at the city gate, and even asked the soldiers to camp next to the catapult to protect these big guys nearby.

They watched the continuous attack on the city by the catapults, but they were too idle to hit flies. After finally seeing the movement in the city, they couldn't help but feel shocked: "The head is delivered to the door!"

Previously, the distribution of spoils in the battle outside Changshou City had a new trick called "business commission": the spoils must not be hidden privately and piled up in one place. The most difficult front row soldiers and cavalrymen were divided up the most, and then the archers and giant crossbowmen were finally ordinary soldiers. Anyway, no matter what, they would have a taste of soup.

The head level is also considered a person's head and a person's head is full of money. He can grab the head quickly and earn more money. Therefore, "it depends on the head to make a fortune." This morning, the Xiangzhou army barely resisted the giant crossbow and arrow shooting just after leaving the city, they were then rushed up by the red-eyed Anzhou soldiers and divided them all.

Someone was slow to watch as she came back with a head-in-law. She hung up the crisp copper wire and even finished her lunch. She was so excited that she waited outside the city gates everywhere, waiting for the Xiangzhou men to come out to give her head.

Seeing that the Anzhou army was so strict that the defenders did not dare to go out of the city to die, they could only watch the catapult car slowly smash the city walls and throw countless fireballs into the city and cause huge fires.

Yuwen Wen stood on a built-up dirt mountain outside the city while yawning. Looking at the smoke in Xiangyang City in front of him, he really wanted to use a selfie as a background photo and then send it to WeChat Moments: "I'm attacking Xiangyang!"

However, this is just a delusion. Looking at the broken Xiangyang city walls, Yuwen Wen lost interest. In this era, cities in various places have not been prepared to defend against gravity catapults. With the attack of so many large gravity catapults day and night, Xiangyang City cannot hold on.

Then what? You can't 'replace Wushuang'. When you break the city wall, you will naturally have to climb the dead soldiers to break through the gap, and then rush into the battle and it will be over. There is no place for you to use!

So I want to smoke you bastards to death!

The soldiers piled up many piles of firewood along the bank of the moat in the south of the city. Yuwen Wen shook a few pieces of shredded paper into the sky, and saw shredded paper flying across the moat.

"Today, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the southeast winds are three to four levels. Friends who are traveling, please reduce their clothes appropriately." Yuwen Wen murmured down the Tushan Mountain, surrounded by a circle of guards sent by his father.

"Fifteenth, ask them to light the fire and set off smoke."

After a moment, the rolling smoke drifted along the southeastern wind towards the city of Xiangyang. The defenders who were originally guarding the dilapidated walls were so fumigated that they couldn't open their eyes and kept coughing. They were already at a disadvantage when they shot against the opposite Tushan Mountain and now they couldn't support them. They could only let the Anzhou army strengthen the Tushan Mountain and were helpless.

The soldiers lined up to the various earthen mountains to pour out the soil in their backpacks towards the front. The earthen mountains gradually spread to the moat, and the distance from the city head of Xiangyang slowly shortened.

......

Under the sunset, several broken Xiangyang naval warships on the Han River were shaking upwards. Today, they were ordered to attack Hannan Floating Bridge from the waterway, and fought bloody battles in Shuangdao City upstream to break through the Hengjiang iron cable.

The first iron cable was burned with a fire boat. The next second iron cable was forced by the generals of the commander, and finally put it on and cut it off. However, they were desperately facing the next third iron cable.

The giant crossbows of the Anzhou army on both sides of the river were constantly shooting, fighting the Xiangyang navy, which was approaching the third iron chain, into a mess. Many soldiers who sank on fire and fell into the river either swam to the two sides or downstream, and those who did not want to surrender were killed.

A large number of warship wreckages and floating corpses floated on the river. Facing the third iron cable, Xiangyang Navy was powerless to charge. Who knows if there is a fourth or fifth downstream?

No matter how threats and intimidates the generals of the supervising formation, they cannot make them fight to the death. In desperation, they had to turn the bow of the ship back to Xiangyang. However, at this time, they were sailing against the current and the ship was slow, so the Anzhou army on both sides had more time to attack the warships with giant crossbows.

After finally breaking out of the shooting range of the giant crossbow, the Xiangyang naval warships were nowhere to be left before departure. Zhang Yu, a skinny warship in the warship, was hugging Li Guzheng in his arms. He covered Li Guzheng tightly with his hands, a shocking wound on Li Guzheng's shoulder, and shocking blood oozed out from his fingers and dyed his arms red.

"Brother Li, you have to hold on, you will be in Xiangyang soon!"

When the generals of the supervising battle threatened them to attack the third iron chain, Li was arguing a few times, and was used to kill chickens and scare monkeys and chopped them on the shoulder. Fortunately, everyone pleaded for mercy and did not get finished. Then the general of the supervising formation was killed by a giant crossbow flying in. Their ship simply turned around and fled back to Xiangyang.

"Little Yuer...Don't go back to Xiangyang...Snap away quickly...The king will force you to go to Hannan to see him..."

Before he finished speaking, Team Li was dying, and Zhang Yu shook his whole body and hugged him tightly and cried loudly. The others in the cabin were also depressed when they saw this. This time they were forced to attack the Hengjiang iron chain, and countless friends were buried in the fish's belly.

I thought it would be better to flee somewhere else to wait until the war ended before going back, but now my family is still in the Xiangyang Water Village, and I can't bear to leave them alone. But when I go back, I'm afraid I will be forced to go south to burn the floating bridge another day. I don't know if I have any life to go back to reunite with my family.
