Great Zhou Tianzi

Da Zhou took advantage of these few days to speed up the repair of the outer city, but the time was too short. When the enemy came back, only half of the project was completed.

Anyway, it couldn't be finished, so Ji Jia simply ordered the original urn city to be dug out with ditches, and more fire tanks were arranged.

The siege battle started again. After a day of hard fighting, both the attackers and the defenders gained something.

The front city wall changed hands several times, and it was difficult for the Qin army to move forward after climbing the city wall. The city bricks were dyed red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Ji Jie in the gazebo patted Ji Xueling's sweaty hands and said, "Da Zhou has not reached the point where his tendons and bones are broken. According to my estimates, the number of casualties these days should not exceed 3000, and there are at least [-] more." Thousands of soldiers, as long as you have the confidence to stick to it, it will be very difficult for the Qin army to succeed!"

The death toll of the Qin army approached five thousand, and even more were injured.

To the east of the royal city, hundreds of tunnels are in full swing. They belong to the Zhaocheng garrison. Ji Jie wants to dig a tunnel directly to the royal city here, in case the city breaks, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city can be transferred.

Of course, all this was going on in secret. The emperor and those ministers who were afraid of death would definitely order to abandon the city immediately when they knew this escape route.

The uninterrupted siege of the city every day consumes a lot of money on both sides. The royal city has been impoverished for many years, there are gaps in arrows, and the rolling logs and stones have long been used up. They can only be sent to the city every night to collect them for the next day.

After several iterations of these things, they can no longer be used anymore.

Meng Ao was keenly aware of this, and the next siege became thunderous and rainy, and the shields in the hands of the soldiers were all replaced with wooden ones. Every time they charged, they carried their shields with them The feathered arrows on the ground began to retreat.

Ji Jia was dumbfounded, she had to shoot arrows, then the Qin army would definitely turn the fake siege into reality, what should I do then?Let's shoot the arrows, there are not many in the first place, so the chance to pick them up is gone after a few times.

Sima Jing gave a thumbs up and said flatteringly, "General Meng is a good planner. If the defenders lose their arrows, they are like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out!"

Meng Ao waved his hand and said, "Notify the spies you planted in the king's city, let them spread rumors, saying that the Qin army will destroy the city in a few days, and no one will be left behind on the day of the destruction!"

"Okay!" Sima Jing readily agreed.

In the middle of the night, the yawning Zhou Jun found a group of Qin soldiers rushing towards the city gate, and hurriedly beat the war drums. The sleeping soldiers hurriedly put on their armor, picked up their weapons and climbed up the wall to defend. Everyone's nerves were tense.

But Qin Jun turned around in front of the city gate without even firing an arrow, so he returned the same way!

The camp of the Qin army was full of flames, and they pretended to be fighting at night. In fact, the soldiers were sleeping soundly, but they just lit a few more fires.

Ji Jia didn't know what the big deal was, and ordered the defenders to keep their eyes open to prevent the enemy from attacking.

For several days in a row, Zhou Jun was completely exhausted. Many people had obvious dark circles, tired faces, and serious lack of sleep.

On the other hand, Qin Jun's faces were full of red, and they were full of fighting spirit, and they still worked so hard when attacking the city.

Finally, the last feather arrow in Zhou Jun's hand shot out, and the soldiers took bricks and smashed them down. These bricks came from the houses in the city, and the Chinese who had their houses demolished had to sleep on the road.

Rumors spread everywhere, and Ji Zhang led the palace guards to arrest many rumor spreaders, beheading dozens of them, but they couldn't stop the spread of rumors.

The spies not only spread rumors, but also quietly set fire to it in the dead of night, and the residences of several ministers were also burned. The people in the city were panicked, and the voices of the peace talkers and surrenderists overwhelmed the main fighters.

King Zhou Nan was in panic all day long. If the prince Ji Jia hadn't insisted, he would have sent out the surrender form and led all his ministers out of the city to surrender.

Ji Jie had to admit that this usually dandy prince was somewhat bloody, at least much stronger than his father.

The tunnel was successfully dug into the royal city, and Ji Jie led two strong men, Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben, into the royal city and headed straight for the palace.

"General Zhaowen, why is it you?" The guard at the palace gate recognized him and asked in surprise, "How did you get here?"

"Quickly tell me, I want to meet the emperor!" Ji Jie didn't have time to spank a little guard.

"Yes!"

Hearing Ji Jie begging to see him, King Zhou Nan was overjoyed that he was saved!However, he quickly regained his composure, wondering what Ji Jie was doing here, was there some kind of conspiracy?

King Nan of Zhou was suspicious by nature, cleared his throat, and said expressionlessly, "Please!"

After performing the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, Ji Jie stood up by himself without waiting for the emperor to speak, which made King Zhou Nan very embarrassed, and this was in front of all the ministers.

"What are you doing here?" King Zhou Nan asked coldly.

Grass!What kind of attitude, I'm too lazy to care about you, I came here to help you kindly, but you don't appreciate it, if it's not because of Xue Ling, who cares about your life and who is your grandson!

"Come save me!" Ji Jie's answer was only three words.

"Hehe, I, Mr. Zhaowen, you really know how to joke!" King Zhou Zhe said boldly, "I have [-] soldiers, and two sons, Jia'er and Zhang'er, who are good at fighting. I want you to save them?"

At this time, a soldier with two arrows stuck in his back rushed in, panting and said: "It's not good, the Qin army is attacking from the front, and the attack is fierce. The city wall is crumbling, and it may collapse at any time!"

"What?" King Zhou Nan jumped up regardless of his image. He was bragging a second ago, which was equal to the face of his typewriter.

The soldier who reported the letter fell to the ground after kneeling and saying those words, and never got up again.

King Zhou Nan's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and his face was full of smiles: "My good nephew, do you have a way to keep the king's city alive?"

Ji Jie really couldn't stand his attitude, so he said angrily: "If the gods come, they won't be able to keep the royal city!"

"Then you just..."

"What I meant just now was to save the lives of the emperor and everyone!" Ji Jie looked sideways at King Zhou Nan and said, "I'm not capable of keeping the royal city. Of course you have two sons who are good at fighting, so naturally you don't need my help." ,right!"

King Zhou Nan blushed. Anyway, life is more important than face. He said with a dry smile: "My nephew is really good at joking, how can Jia'er and Zhang'er compare with you! You can't do nothing. , Uncle, please!"

After finishing speaking, he flirted with the ministers, and all the ministers quickly echoed, "Please help General Zhaowen!"

Ji Jie shrugged and said, "No problem! But you have to cooperate with me, and no matter what, you can't let the Qin army attack today. As long as you can persist until dark, I guarantee that you can escape here before dawn!"

King Nan of Zhou ordered Ji Jia, who supervised the battle, to defend to the death.

Fortunately, God helped, it rained heavily, and the siege equipment could not move forward in the mud, so the Qin army had to retreat temporarily.

I really don't know whether it was King Zhou Nan's luck or Ji Jie's luck.
