Chapter 439: Under the city of Yuezhou

Yang Shifan was very calm. All these results were as expected by him. At least one catapult was hit and would not appear on the battlefield in a short period of time.

"This is simply not a martial ethic!" Murong Yanzhao pointed at the top of the city and scolded. He was completely unreasonable and he was still setting up a formation. He just started to attack extremely long-rangely, and he still wanted to be decent?

Usually, the side defending the city will wait for the siege to arrange troops and then attack each other. It is not a gentleman's style, but to save materials, such a long distance and is sparse, such an attack is largely a waste. Moreover, the side defending the city usually has difficulty replenishing materials. If you want to defend long enough, you have to make careful calculations.

Murong Yanzhao said this, but he was really scared. Such a bastard who did not play according to common sense is the easiest thing to kill the master's master by random punches and not be confused by his own team.

Another wave of attacks from catapults and crossbows. This time, the catapults did not hit the catapults, but mostly fell on the crossbows. The rocks were so lethal, and there was a hint of panic on the position.

"Transfer! Shooting on the bed crossbow!" Murong Yanzhao originally wanted to wait a little longer, and wait for all the catapults to take their place, give them a volley to see the military power of the Song Dynasty, but now they can't wait.

Passively being beaten and not fighting back is too harmful to morale.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out at the same time and moved quickly towards the city.

The soldiers of Nanchu who were originally looking around hid directly behind the wall. They were not stupid. At this time, no one climbed the city wall. Just protect themselves.

The powerful crossbow arrows shot out the stone dandruff on the city, and one of them almost hit Yang Shifan's face.

Yang Shifan wiped the dust from his face. The deal was quite cost-effective and continued to order the attack.

When the fourth round of stones in Nanchu arrived, the Song army's catapults finally took their place. During these four waves of attacks, the Song army broke a total of five catapults, which was not serious about the total number of more than 200.

Moreover, there are craftsmen in the rear. As long as they are repaired, they can continue to participate in the war tomorrow.

With the order of Murong Yanzhao, the catapult camp, which received the order, immediately began to counterattack. A quarter of an hour later, dozens of fireballs, with more than a hundred stones, flew towards the top of the city.

As for why not use fireballs all, it is mainly because there is insufficient reserve of tincture oil.

The power of the catapult is by no means comparable to that of a bed crossbow. Most of it hits the city, and a small number of it flew over the city and fell into the city.

Yang Shifan didn't care about the image of the general and put it on the city wall, so as to ensure that it was not hit. However, the newly raised city wall was not strong enough and the walls began to collapse.

Just leave a small number of people on top, most of them will be removed and wait until the other party attacks the city. The crossbow was arranged below and attacks through the original marching.

Li Jilong is now also a lieutenant. He has a team of personal soldiers and takes the personal soldiers to find a high slope to watch the battle under the city.

"How about you think?" Wang Ba carried the iconic gilded sword, which was still early before they could attack the sway camp. He usually had to enter a tug-of-war before he could release them and tear the opponent's defense apart.

"Sometimes, luck is more important than strength." Li Jilong sighed. He just saw with his own eyes that a large number of stones from the catapult came over and took away several lives. The strong men in the catapult position were willing to do so.

It must be much bigger than him. Once he is hit, it will be just a pile of minced meat. Personal courage is of little use in this situation.

"Of course, but although they are at risk now, they are the ones with the highest survival rate on the battlefield." Wang Ba nodded, luck is of course important.

"Yes, Brother Wang, do you think, when will this hit?" Li Jilong nodded. As a captain, he could already feel a trace of the pleasure of power. He couldn't wait to climb up.

"It will take a long time. The general has been waiting here for a few days. He will never take it as a decoration after getting so many equipment. In my opinion, it will probably take at least three days to smash it." Wang Ba raised three fingers and had to hit the other party in despair.

"So long? Don't you want to end the war before the beginning of winter?" Li Jilong also knew some news. The Great Song Dynasty's attack on Nanchu must end before the beginning of winter, otherwise it is likely to fall into the quagmire of war and repeatedly tug-of-war here.

"There is no absolute thing on the battlefield, and there is no such thing as changing rapidly." Wang Ba smiled. That was just a plan set by the big man, and it was impossible to be completely consistent.

Li Jilong was silent. If he could not end the battle before winter began, when would he take a step forward?

He had already found out that the general was not as good as the lieutenant, and the lieutenant could be directly designated and reported afterwards. And the general, even the lowest number general, must be evaluated by the Ministry of War and registered by the Privy Council before he can take office.

"We will go up and the death rate is too high. Don't always think about using your life to gain military merits. In that case, you will sooner or later. We should be glad that the general is a person who cherishes the soldiers under our command." Wang Ba patted Li Jilong's shoulder, feeling that he was a little crazy, and he wanted to behead him every day.

"Brother Wang said, I'll practice the stone lock." Li Jilong shook his head and cleared his mind. He couldn't just think about climbing up, but also improve his combat power in order to survive.

The battle under Yuezhou City was the most technical battle Murong Yanzhao had fought in recent years. It was completely like using upright means to suppress the top of Mount Tai and constantly expanding his own advantages.

The same is true for Yang Shifan, who only cares about killing the other party's head and does not care about the damage to the city wall.

"General, is the other party crazy?" Shi Fang looked through the trench and looked at the trencher position in front of him. He actually set up a bonfire and could see people coming and going on the other party's position.

The sun has set, and the Song army has no intention of withdrawing troops. Instead, a group of people have changed to control the crossbow and the catapult. This is the rhythm of attacking overnight.

"No, they are anxious. If I guess correctly, they are under great pressure now and are eager to take down Yuezhou City." Yang Shifan didn't know if there was any movement between the Northern Han and Western Shu. Anyway, the war had already begun on the Southern Tang side.

As Yang Shifan expected, Murong Yanzhao could receive a letter from the official in the past few days and every day. Because Murong Yanzhao had no response, Zhao Kuangyin simply told the sender that he had to get Murong Yanzhao's reply before he could return.

After three consecutive days of preparation, Murong Yanzhao was also Alexander. If he got angry, he would be a little scared.

Today's reply was finally tough, siege the city overnight and fight never to stop.

Yang Shifan, who was originally planning to strengthen the city wall overnight, simply gave up and followed suit and replaced him.

Keep smashing, as long as you can kill and injure the enemy.

Just as the two sides of Yuezhou City were smashing each other, Sun Yu was now repairing the city of Luoyuan County. After taking over Luoyuan County, Sun Yu did not pursue the victory as expected.

With so many prisoners, he had to slowly identify and screen. In addition, he was also transferring a group of new recruits to garrison in Fuzhou.

His goal is to transfer the garrisons around Hangzhou, but if the other party takes Fuzhou instead, it will be a big loss. The four states are his basic base at present, and even if the South Vietnamese Kingdom is destroyed, he may not occupy too much territory.

"Students have met their mentor!" Fang Hao is now young, and Sun Yu is transferred to him to build bridges. Over the years, Fang Hao has traveled all over the prefectures and counties under Sun Yu's rule, building solid bridges, greatly facilitating the passage under his rule.

"Have the bridge been built? Let's sit." Since Sun Yu was not in a hurry to get on the road, there was no need to build a floating bridge.

"Thank you for your mentor, and it will be opened to traffic tomorrow." Fang Hao didn't politely and took his seat directly.

"You and I have a teacher-student competition, and I am still a class of white men. Have you ever complained?" Sun Yu knew that Fang Hao was very smart. If he participated in the imperial examination, he should be able to achieve something.

Now, he is taking a group of people, running around the mountains and fields, just like the mud legs in the mouths of those landlords and squirees.

"No, the knowledge of students is taught by their teachers. The teachers have the talent of heaven and earth, and the disciples are incompetent, so they can only do their part to the people in these details." In Fang Hao's heart, Sun Yu was like a mountain, with all kinds of major things to handle. Such small things have no time to be separated, so he borrowed his hands.

"Okay, do it well, and I appreciate you very much." What Fang Hao is doing now is inconspicuous than his civil and military officials, but his contribution to the prosperity under his rule is by no means lower than that of anyone.

Sun Yu intended to let them explore the path of science in practice, and most of the things he knew were taught to them. Next, it was time to practice and produce true knowledge.

"Mr., now there is a lot of savings in the academy. Students want to re-locate the academy and expand the scale." Fang Hao's ambition is not about the level of his official position or the amount of money. What he wants to do is just like when Sun Yu taught him, and cultivate more talents who are studying science.

Sun Yu's purpose is to sow the seeds of science, and Fang Hao's purpose is to seek more like-minded people. Science has no boundaries, and they have too few people and too few things they can do.

Today's academies still use the courtyards of the Jinjiang Palace, and the staff are still the same as before. Since Sun Yu opened academies in various places, there should be many students with a solid foundation now, and it should be time for the academies to expand.

"Save? Is it earned by building a bridge?" Sun Yu laughed. This kid actually made a lot of money silently.

When the Zhongyong Army is under the rule of the army, they have to pay for the bridge. As for the money, whether it is the county finance, donation from local big households, or fundraising by ordinary people, he doesn't care. Anyway, the money is in place, so he will build it as soon as possible.

Fang Hao nodded. There are now three teams building bridges under the academy, and they are still too busy to do so.
