"boom!"

A huge stone flew from a distance and smashed on the tower of Xuzhou City!
The huge stone did not hit anyone directly, but the broken stones splashed all over the place, causing four or five soldiers of the Huai'an Army nearby to be injured, ranging from mild to severe.

The Huai'an Army soldier who was the most injured was hit by a larger piece of gravel on his right arm, and he couldn't move his entire arm.

The hundred households who were in command immediately waved their hands and shouted: "Change it! Change it!"

Under his yelling, the injured soldiers were carried down immediately, and then someone quickly stepped up to fill the vacancy.

"Gunner, gunner!"

A thousand households of the Huai'an army shouted: "Bombard their catapults! Aim more accurately!"

The Huai'an army has full-time gunners, and they are gunners trained by Shen Yi by using his money ability.

The so-called banknote ability is nothing more than spending money on shells and gunpowder to let them practice.

Except for Master Shen, it is basically impossible for other armies to have such confidence. After all, they do not have a "financial group" like Xu Fu behind them to provide support.

Following the order from Qianhu, the gunners immediately aimed at the catapult in the distance.

With the sound of several cannons, there were four catapults in the distance, which were destroyed by artillery!
"Good fight!"

Qianhu, surnamed Fei, was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Reload! Reload!"

"Fight again!"

After the three rounds of cannon fire, dozens of catapults outside the city were knocked out. When the thousand households wanted to continue shelling, a gunner responded loudly: "General, the barrel is too hot!"

"Hit again, it's going to explode!"

The thousand households snorted, and instead of forcibly ordering the shelling, they glanced under the city wall.

At this time, part of the Qi army had already attacked the base of the city wall and began to erect ladders, slowly climbing up the Xuzhou city tower like ants.

Fei Qianhu drew his saber out of his body, grinned and said, "Brothers, the mustache is about to climb up!"

"Prepare the golden juice rolling stone fire oil!"

"Hello over their heads!"

Golden juice is an indescribable thing, although it is filthy, but once it is poured down, the effect is really outstanding!

At the same time, the boiling hot oil was poured down by the Huai'an army!
The hot oil didn't just cause scalds. When it was poured on Qiren's ladder, the ladder immediately began to slip, making it difficult to climb up again!
As for the effect of falling rocks, it should be more immediate.

That's all, in this small area, the two sides fought fiercely for three full hours, from morning to dusk!

A soldier of the Huai'an army smashed down the last stone, turned his head to look at his Qianhu, and said loudly, "General Fei, there are no more stones!"

Fei Qianhu looked back.

On the section of the city wall he was guarding, the rolling stones had been used up, and the hot oil was almost poured.

At this moment, someone shouted again: "General Fei, there are no more arrows!"

Fei Qianhu glanced at Qi Ren who was still struggling to climb up under the city wall, drew out the saber from his waist, and said sharply, "Keep your position and draw your saber out of its sheath!"

The defenders of the city naturally occupy a favorable location. Even if they don't have long-range offensive weapons, they can still occupy an absolute advantage if they only use short weapons to hack and attack.

Some Qi people had just climbed onto the city wall when they were slashed on the shoulder with a knife. Looking sideways, most of their necks were cut off, their heads drooped, and they fell down.

However, this advantage is no longer so absolute!

Because there are too many Qi people.

Later, once in a while, one or two Qi people climbed up the tower. Fortunately, they were quickly discovered by the soldiers of the Huai'an army, and then four or five people surrounded them and hacked these Qi people to death.

However, it is undeniable that the soldiers of the Huai'an Army also began to suffer casualties.

On this day, the Qi people's attack was extremely tenacious. Even Fei Qianhu was injured in the fierce battle with the Qi people.

After fighting fiercely until it was completely dark, the people of Qi, who had suffered heavy losses, began to retreat one after another.

And Fei Qianhu, also because of exhaustion, sat down on the tower, panting heavily.

"Bring me some water..."

He yelled loudly, then his vision went dark, and he passed out.

………………

Huai'an Army Office.

That is, Zhizhou Yamen.

The main generals of the Huai'an Army's East and West Route Army are all here, which is rare.

This time it was no longer the six King Kongs under Master Shen's command, basically anyone who actually held a position of more than a thousand households would be present.

The so-called actual leadership of a position with more than a thousand households means that there are only thousands of households, but the number of people under him is far more than a thousand.

There are not many such people in the Huai'an army.

Because the Huai'an army now has 5 people, a total of fifty thousand households. In theory, in addition to these thousand households, there should also be generals at the first level of the guard, such as commanders, commanders, and commanders. class.

Although these three generals in the Huai'an Army are seriously absent, there are already quite a few of them by now, and there are almost thirteen or four generals in total.

At this time, these people were basically all present, and they sat around Shen Yi.

Master Shen sat in the middle, glanced at the crowd first, and then said: "These three or four days are the first round of attack after the reinforcements from Qi arrived, so far..."

"The Qi people's attack should come to an end temporarily."

"but…"

Shen Yi said truthfully: "You never know when they will come again."

"I believe you have also seen in the past few days that the Qi people's attack is much more ferocious than before."

Speaking of this, he looked calm, and said: "You can talk about the problems you have encountered during the defense of the city in the past few days. If you can solve them, I will solve them for you."

When he said this, he stopped talking.

Although the Huai'an army's important affairs are discussed by Master Shen himself, he still discusses normal matters with the people below, so the atmosphere is quite enthusiastic.

Soon, the senior generals of the Huai'an Army began to chatter.

Some people said there was a lack of arrows, some said there was a lack of rolling stones, and some people didn't have enough artillery, so they asked Shen Yi for artillery.

At the end of the speech, Xue Wei said in a loud voice: "Mother! These Qi people are treacherous now. They used to shoot arrows on the towers. This way, our army will not have no arrows to use when you come and go. Now they hardly go any more. Shooting arrows on the city tower, we will run out of arrows immediately!"

The speeches of these people, in a word, are that some of the supplies for defending the city are not enough.

After all, when the Huai'an army entered Xuzhou, they basically packed lightly. The heaviest thing they brought was not even food, but the artillery and gunpowder shells of the Huai'an army.

The food and grass for the Huai'an army were bought by Lin Sheng in Xuzhou City, and he almost didn't bring it in.

Up to now, Xuzhou has been defending for more than two months, and both major and minor battles have been fought. Under such circumstances, it is strange that the supplies for defending the city are sufficient.

After everyone talked nonsense, Ling Su coughed, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Ling Su lowered his head slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, if the people of Qi have been attacking the city from one side as they are now, then our Huai'an army will have absolutely no problem defending the city."

"But now, the Qi people have more troops, and they are likely to attack the city from all sides in the future."

"Even today, some Qi people have already climbed the tower, causing casualties to the brothers. In the future, Qi people will attack the city from all sides, and we are short of supplies, so we can defend the city..."

He paused, and said helplessly: "The only thing we can do is fight close to hand, and defend with my life."

So far, the Huai'an army has defended the city so far, and the casualties are not large.

It can even be said that it has basically maintained its complete combat effectiveness.

What Ling Su said was that if the fight continued, it would be difficult to fight like now.

Master Shen knocked on the table with his hands, and said slowly: "Boiling oil, I can get some from the people in the city, but this thing needs to be eaten, so I will save some in the future."

"As for the Rolling Stones..."

Shen Yi looked back at Zhao Jizhou, who was also present at the meeting, and said, "Brother, I will transfer two thousand-household battalions for you. Tomorrow... we will start demolishing houses in the city."

"Start demolishing the houses that no one lives in."

At this time, although the main structure of the house is made of wood, the courtyard walls and some foundations are all built of stones. In a big city like Xuzhou, there are countless buildings in the city. As long as you are willing to demolish the house, you will never run out of rolling stones. of.

Zhao Jizhou bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty obeys!"

In front of everyone, if Shen Yi gave him face and called him senior brother, then he also needs to give Shen Yi face and respect Shen Yi as a leader.

Master Shen was silent for a while, then continued: "As for the arrows..."

"I will try to find a solution as soon as possible..."

Having said that, Shen Yi looked up at Xue Wei, and said, "General Xue stay here for a while."

"other people…"

"If there is nothing wrong, everyone should go back to the front line."

Everyone got up one after another, bowed their heads and cupped their fists respectfully.

"The last general respects his life!"
