Cao Jun met Yang Zong's deep gaze and felt guilty inexplicably. He couldn't help but look away, and underestimated in his heart: "Does this guy know something?"

Yesterday, on his way back to the military camp, he had repeatedly reminded the people of the Hujie Army not to tell them about the changes in the content of their persuasion of surrender. Everyone was unified in their own way, and the thieves were stubborn and refused to surrender. They also took the opportunity to ambush the strong archer and ambush themselves, causing some casualties.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent Yang Zong from seizing his own handle. Although he did not take Yang Zong, a fourth-rank general from a poor family, if this guy told his father about his arbitrary change of military orders, he would definitely be beaten after he went back.

"Send someone to go there again. If the other party is still stubborn, we will attack the city!"

To be cautious, Yang Zong decided to send an envoy to try again. After all, once it succeeds, it will be equivalent to saving the lives of thousands of soldiers.

Cao Jun and the generals who came from noble families were dissatisfied with this, thinking that Yang Zong was too kind.

The envoy rode his horse out of the camp and returned to the Central Army camp not long after. "General, the other party said it would take three days to think about it."

"Three days? How else should I consider this kind of thing? I think the other party clearly wants to delay time. General Yang, General Yang, thinks that he should attack the city immediately!"

When he heard that the other party had to think about it for three days, someone next to him immediately stood up and asked for a fight.

"General Yang, please give an order. Our troops are willing to be the vanguard and are just chaotic thieves. Even if we have a strong city to rely on, we cannot resist our 50,000 elite army!"

"Please give orders to the general!"

Four or five more armored generals stood up in the tent and bowed.

Yang Zong narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was secretly annoyed. These generals who advocated the attack on the city immediately were all generals from the Lord's family, accounting for two-thirds of the number of people in the camp. This time, he sent troops to suppress the rebellion. Although he was the chief general of the army, he would be essentially restricted by these generals. If he did not get the support of these generals, or if they disobeyed the situation, he could actually control less than one-fifth of the army.

"Does everyone think we should attack the city immediately?"

Yang Zong's eyes swept over the noble generals and fell on the only three remaining generals next to him. These three were all confidants promoted by him, and they were all from poor families, just like him.

Seeing this, a man immediately stood up, "Report to the general, the last general thinks it is inappropriate, and the other party does not obviously refuse. It only takes a few days to consider it, and we can afford to wait."

"That's right!"

Another person stood up and bowed: "I think that even if the other party wants to delay time, this is beneficial to us. The people in the city eat horses and don't make any investments. The longer they delay, the more unfavorable it will be for them. Perhaps we don't need to attack the city at all, we just need to surround them for a month or two, and they will-"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

A noble general pointed at his face and shouted: "Are you farting? How many months have you been besieging the city? You really say that the traitors consume a lot. Isn't our consumption large? Because of the severe drought over the years, the national treasury has been empty and the income is not enough. Even the money and food sent to the army this time are spent by His Majesty's inner treasury. It would be fine if you don't share your worries for His Majesty, but you have come up with such a bad idea. You are really your Majesty's good minister!"

When the general from a poor family heard this, his face turned pale and hesitated for a moment and couldn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zong sighed in his heart and said, "No need to say that our army has just arrived and is tired. Let's take a day off today. You go and inform the other party that if you don't open the city gate before tomorrow, our army will immediately attack the city!"

"Yes, General!"

The messenger in charge of the order handed over to receive the order and slowly withdrew from the tent.

The day passed quickly, and the next morning, as soon as the hour of the year arrived, a loud trumpet sounded from the tent outside the city.

"Order immediately and the whole army will attack."

Yang Zong said lightly to the messenger beside him.

Upon hearing this, the commander immediately took out two small flags, ran to the observation deck and danced a few times. Seeing this, the soldiers on the observation deck also took out the flag and began to wave it.

The generals of each army saw the waving flags on the watchtower and immediately led their soldiers out of the camp in an orderly manner.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong----"

The rapid sound of war drums kept ringing, and in front of each unit, a flag bearer would wave a flag and echo the flag bearer on the watchtower. This was called Yingqi, which means that the order had been received.

The commanders and generals in the army allocated troops to rely on these flag bearers to deliver orders. Otherwise, it would be absolutely not easy to mobilize tens of thousands of people at the same time.

As the inspiring drums continued to sound, teams of people surrounded the siege equipment, walked out of the camp, rushed forward, and the vanguard sword and shield hands were pushing the goose cart and carrying the ladder.

"put!"

When the army was about two hundred meters closer to the city wall, dozens of huge catapults suddenly shot dozens of stone bullets weighing more than one hundred and fifty kilograms into the city wall.

"boom."

A stone bullet hit the female wall at the top of the city. Only a "bang" sound was heard. Everyone around them felt a shock under their feet. In the place where the stone bullet hit, countless bricks flew around. The soldiers who were hit by these bricks and stones fell to the ground and wailed.

However, the hit rate of the catapult was extremely poor. In the first round, there were only a few stone bullets hitting the city wall. The rest either fell in front or into the city.

Under the bombardment of stone bombs, the swords and shields, as vanguards and shields, quickly approached the city wall. At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly shot from the city wall.

"Puff!"

The goose cart covered with a layer of iron sheet had no defensive effect at all. The soldiers hiding behind were pierced by arrows that penetrated the goose cart, either dead or injured. As the wave of arrows fell, a large area of ​​casualties were killed and injured.

As waves of arrow rain fell, the vanguard troops in front fell down like crops, corpses spread all over the field and blood flowed into a river.

Seeing this scene, a soldier collapsed directly, threw down his weapon, turned around and was about to escape, but before he could escape a few steps, his head was cut off by his lieutenant with a sword.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up! Otherwise, you don't have to wait for the people in the supervision team to take action, so I'll send him a ride first."

The captain's face was extremely ferocious and he shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

Under such circumstances that they could die at any time, the soldiers' emotions began to change hysterically, and they all roared and ran towards the city wall.

Although the archers under Liu Feng's command were powerful, all the archers were only 4,000. Faced with the thousands of soldiers below, the coverage of arrow rain was very limited. Although it caused a lot of damage to the enemy, there were also many fish that missed the net.

They finally approached the city wall under the rain of arrows. The long ladder smashed hard on the city wall. The two iron hooks at the front of the ladder cut into the city head like blades.
