Since Luo Jixing was stationed in Ningde County, the repair of the city wall has never stopped. Later, when Luo Jixing targeted the opponent's siege and siege cars, Luo Jixing ordered the work to be raised, which was more than half a foot higher than the previous Luoyuan County wall.

He remembered that the siege car of the Zhongyong Army was two feet higher than the walls of Luoyuan County. Now this height is about four feet higher than the opponent's siege car, which can cause great difficulties for the opponent's siege car.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated. The catapult of the Zhongyong Army was built in standard modular form, and the height could be increased up to seven zhang. This is the highest city wall known to be. After the wall of Luoyuan County was increased, it was only four zhang, which could not stop the siege vehicles at all.

The movement of assembling the catapult outside the city was very slow, and Luo Jixing was anxious to see it. This was not a work of art. He thought that the catapult of the loyal and brave army was actually very different from that in the city.

The catapult of the Zhongyong Army uses a large number of gears and bearings. In terms of attack distance and accuracy, it is much stronger than that of ordinary catapults. The biggest difference is that in terms of durability, few ordinary catapults can be used for one day in a row. Among the catapults, this is the minimum standard.

If it weren't for it, Luo Jixing would have ordered an attack long ago and can only wait for the other party to advance.

When the last ray of sunset fell on the head of Ningde County, Luo Jixing's face turned three points darker than the bottom of the pot.

"General, this is not good." Qian Weiyun, a marching Sima, looked at the loyal and brave army positions outside the city, and was now covered with catapults. In this way, the materials behind were still transporting in a steady stream. This was simply a waste of his life. How could there have been such a war?

"It's simply disgusting!" Luo Jixing felt that Sun Yu was simply a shame for the general. Instead of winning with courage, he used sharp weapons. So where is his value reflected?

What Luo Jixing didn't know was that these weapons were all saved up by Sun Yu little by little. Sun Yu made great contributions to the loyal and brave army's ability to have such a military appearance.

There was a world of difference between the two. Luo Jixing was just a general in Nanyue. Sun Yu was named a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but in fact he had his own territory. As long as the threat of the Song Dynasty was still there, Sun Yu and the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty would definitely be inseparable from each other and join the group to keep warm.

The bonfire in front of the loyal and brave army's position was very strong and could be seen clearly from a distance.

"Mr. Qian, I'm afraid the siege will be tomorrow." The marching Sima Qian Weiyun was like a military supervisor. Before, Luo Jixing was stationed in Luoyuan County, and Ningde County was led by him.

"General, this is the case in Luoyuan County?" Qian Weiyun originally had a lot of complaints about Luo Jixing losing Luoyuan County in two days. Now, looking at the other party's position, he can only sigh that defeat is not Luo Jixing's fault.

"It's almost the same, the catapult is slightly less, but because Luoyuan County does not have a moat, the other party has a siege car that is as high as three and a half meters high, which can directly send troops to the top of the city..." Luo Jixing felt aggrieved about his defeat last time. It was rare that Qian Weiyun was interested in this, which was a big blow.

If he could get the support of Qian Weiyun, his crime of defeat would be much smaller.

Qian Weiyun and Luo Jixing were originally a little distant, not from the same place, but now, in the face of the unreasonableness of the loyal and brave army, they had to join forces to keep warm.

"There are almost 300, right?" Luo Jixing looked at the position in front of him. He had only arranged more than 30 under the city. This was one to ten, and the long-range strike power was incomparable.

"This is obviously five hundred aircraft, general, please count again." Qian Weiyun had already thought about it.

He wanted to write to the court for help overnight, but it was impossible to fight. It was hard to say that he could win with his flesh and blood body and the catapult to resist.

"Well, I was dazzled just now. Lord Qian said very much. The enemy was shameless. He invested more than 500 catapults. We swear to guard the country to the death." Luo Jixing understood in seconds that Lord Qian was already thinking of a way out.

However, this Ningde County is surrounded by water on three sides and by the sea on the other side. If you want to withdraw, if you are surrounded by the opponent's cavalry, you will have no chance of winning, so you may have to go to the sea.

The sea next to Ningde County has shallow water and small waves, and small boats can escape, but where can I find so many boats at once?

"What the general said is very much. I will write to the court now and ask the general to sign it." Qian Weiyun also figured it out. Since the court did not send reinforcements, all they could do was to spend a while longer. As for defeating the enemy, there was no hope at all.

Luo Jixing immediately agreed and went there happily.

Just after Luo Jixing and Qian Weiyun left the city, a large number of crossbows appeared in front of the Zhongyong Army's position, much more than the number of catapults.

Sun Yu stood on the high platform, beside him were the leaders of the various regiments. They were all waiting for Sun Yu’s strategic arrangement.

As for the navy, Song Wumian led the fleet back to Quanzhou, passed through Fuzhou along the way, and continued to transport grain, grass and supplies to the army.

"Dude, let me tell you a secret message about how to attack the city tomorrow." Zheng Tu couldn't hold it in. All the crossbows of the catapult were in place. As long as the river was cut off tomorrow, he could fill the river and attack. But until now, he still received combat missions.

"Tomorrow? If you don't attack the city, I'll ask you to come here to see if this formation is majestic enough?" Sun Yu stood up, opened his hands, and embraced him.

All of this in front of him was that he saved money, racked his brains to make money, and mined variously. The city's craftsman camp slowly gathered. If such achievements were not shown, wouldn't it be a night of fine clothes?

"Majestic, absolutely majestic, so I will continue to lie down tomorrow?" Zheng Tu was really choked. The Duke still had such a time when he liked to show off.

"Well, we have to raise troops for a thousand days, and we will use troops for a while. Tomorrow we will mainly focus on long-range strikes from catapults and crossbows. As generals, we should cherish our soldiers. Since we have such an advantage, why should we rush to attack the city with our lives?" Sun Yu did not intend to push forward, letting him push his hand to Hangzhou. It was impossible. It might be possible that a heavy snowfall in winter would destroy them in South Vietnam.

"Mr., it's almost late autumn." Bai Yong reminded that Ningde is close to the sea, which is better, but it will snow even if it goes north.

"It's okay, I have my own concerns." Sun Yu was in a good position. All he wanted was to make the Nanyue court at a loss. As long as the Nanyue imperial guards were annihilated in the city, they would not believe that they could bear it. Once they sent troops to support the Jinghai Army in Wenzhou, they would fall into his trap.

The next morning, Luo Jixing, who was mentally prepared, climbed to the top of the city and was still shocked. The dense catapults and crossbows were all in place, and there were shield soldiers guarding them in front of the crossbows.

As the sun gradually rises, the luster reflected by the metal makes everyone on the city wall feel a little uncomfortable to breathe.

"General, are we reporting less?" Qian Weiyun felt that he was too hasty yesterday. He did report more of the catapult, but the number of crossbows on the other party was too exaggerated.

"It's simply not a son!" Luo Jixing pointed at the hands of the Zhongyong Army's position ahead and was trembling.

I originally thought that in Luoyuan County, the other party was fierce enough

It's broken, I didn't expect that this crossbow would become a cabbage at that time, and it was so uncontrollable.

The most important materials for making composite crossbows are fish float glue and high-quality wood. The Zhongyong Army Navy salvaged enough sea fish. On the Daliuqiu Island, there are many giant trees that are difficult to hold by one person, so the Zhongyong Army does not lack materials at all.

As for craftsmen, the production method of assembly line is much faster to train craftsmen. If Sun Yu hadn't wanted to outflow the craftsmanship, he could have outsourced most of the simple procedures directly to private workshops, which would have been even lower.

Sun Yu had thought about it and shot all 100,000 crossbow arrows to the top of the city, but he didn't believe that the other party could withstand it.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

The war drums were beating, and the personnel of the Loyal and Brave Army's catapult and crossbow positions were all in place, and they began to skeleton the crossbow, and the catapult also began to fiddle with them.

"General, I have to go to the warehouse to count the supplies and organize the young and strong transportation, so I will take a step first." After Qian Weiyun finished speaking, he left without looking back. The wind blew under his feet, and he walked faster and faster. If he was late, it would be dangerous.

Luo Jixing looked at his back as he was leaving and sighed in his heart. He couldn't leave. Even if he retreated, he had to wait until the end.

"Attack!" Luo Jixing waved his hand and the city wall immediately became busy, but it was far behind the opponent's formation. Fortunately, it had a strong defense and occupied a high place, so it could always withstand it.

The first volley of the Zhongyong Army was unforgettable to Luo Jixing for life. The overwhelming crossbow arrows covered the city without any difference, and the huge rocks that followed him randomly hit the city. Whether it could survive depends entirely on luck.

This wave of scattered shots does not have much damage, but it is a great challenge to the defense of the city. Especially the temporary heightened city wall can last under such an attack, no one knows how long it can last.

Sun Yu admired the beauty of this volley. This thrilling formation must have put a lot of pressure on the other party, so he simply gave up shooting freely. Every attack was made with thousands of crossbow arrows and hundreds of huge rocks flying to the top of the city.

After only an hour, the heightened part of the city wall began to collapse continuously.

The frustration spread to the hearts of every South Vietnamese soldier on the city wall, and his confidence in this battle continued to pass. Every time the opponent fired a volley, all they could do was to squeeze themselves under the wall as much as possible, so that the probability of living would be much greater.

Luo Jixing's face was covered with blood, and the fragments smashed by falling rocks were like sharp blades when he leaped at high speed, easily cutting off people's fragile skin.

He kept changing directions at the top of the city, but no matter where he went, he was the focus of the catapult. At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but gradually, he felt something wrong.

With a scrutiny look, I looked at everyone around me carefully, but still didn't find who exposed his position.

"Is it this Mingguang Armor that exposed himself?" Luo Jixing murmured in his heart, but he did not dare to take off this Mingguang Armor. If it weren't for it, he would have been hurt even worse.

"You wait and be safe, I will go down and inspect first." Luo Jixing decided to go down and avoid it first. He kept hiding under the walls at the top of the city, and it was not decent. It would be better to go to the city to avoid it. Anyway, the other party has no plans to attack the city for the time being.

When night fell, several groups of people were replaced by the loyal and brave army's position, but they did not stop attacking. Even if there was a problem, they would be pulled to the rear for repair first, and then they would continue to fight after repair.
