"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Sima Yong angrily tore Deng Ai's letter to pieces and yelled, "I'm irreconcilable with Cao Liang, wanting me to surrender, dreaming in the daytime!"

Deng Ai is nothing? Thinking about it, he was just a small official in charge of farming. It was insignificant. The talents of the Sima family didn't take him seriously. If he had been with Cao Liang, he would actually send the letter of surrender to Sima Yong. It would be too much to deceive others.

What kind of cat and dog dared to run to his Sima family to shit and pee. Deng Ai's letter of persuasion was full of arrogance and domineering atmosphere, and there was also a smell of sarcasm and intimidation. It was so angry that Sima Yong would tear the letters away.

It’s really a dragon trapped in the shallows and was caught by shrimps, and a tiger trapped in the flat sun and was bullied by dogs. It’s really annoying!

Sima Yong tore the letter, but his anger was still not gone, and he ordered: "Come, drag the person who wrote the letter out and behead him!"

The central army beside him reminded him: "Emister, the person who wrote the letter is from our Qingzhou, who was captured during the Battle of Hukou Cliff."

Sima Yong shouted in a deep voice: "Then it should be killed even more. If you are accused of the tiger, you will have more to die!"

Now Sima Yong has been in anger, so what about his own people? Being a prisoner is shameful. He is greedy for life and fears death and his sins are unforgivable. Now that he actually acts as a messenger for the Bingzhou Army, it is even more abominable. If such a person is not killed, should he keep it for the New Year?

Deng Ai wanted to persuade Sima Yong to surrender, but it was like a daydream. Sima Yong could not accept it even if he was beaten to death. After he angrily killed the messenger, he ordered the city gate to close, all the defenders to climb the city, and be ready to fight the Bingzhou army to a decisive battle.

Linzi's defense is indeed a little hasty now. Many defense facilities are not in place, and there are still big problems in the dispatch of troops, but these cannot shake Sima Yong's determination to hold on to Linzi. Sima Yong is not a branch of the Sima family, but a direct descendant. Under any circumstances, he will share weal and woe with the Sima family and work together to suffer hardships. Those fencemen are the people Sima Yong hates the most. If he finds that one he will kill one, he will never forgive him.

The messenger's head was thrown from the city wall by the Qingzhou army. The scout who had been observing and inquiring outside the city quickly reported the situation to Deng Ai. Deng Ai just smiled slightly. It seemed that Sima Yong had been determined to defend Linzi.

This was not beyond Deng Ai's expectations. After all, Deng Ai had already planned to send a prisoner of war to Sima Yong as a messenger to deliver a message. Even if Sima Yong killed the messenger, he would be a member of Sima's army and would not suffer any loss to Deng Ai.

Sima Yong's desperate behavior exposed his inner mania and fear. Deng Ai's goal of writing a book may not be really intended to persuade Sima Yong to surrender. It was more of a test. Now it seems that Sima Yong has been in chaos. In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the subsequent siege of Bingzhou Army.

According to the information she had, Sima Yong had been busy expanding his army and preparing for war over the past year, expanding the original 50,000 troops of the Qingzhou Army to 100,000. However, in the Battle of Hukou Cliff, the Bingzhou Army destroyed 20,000 people. In addition, in the Battle of Beihai, more than 10,000 people of the Qingzhou Army were wiped out. Now Sima Yong's army guarding the city is estimated to be around 70,000.

Among these 70,000 people, at least half were strong men that Sima Yong had forced to do this year. The quality of these soldiers can be imagined. Just looking at the two battles between Hukou Cliff and Beihai, Deng Ai could understand the real combat power of the Qingzhou Army. It was almost impossible to defend the city with such an army and resist the powerful offensive of the Bingzhou Army.

The Battle of Jizhou was a huge watershed. Before the Battle of Jizhou, the Sima Army was stronger than the Bingzhou Army. In addition to individual troops, such as cavalry and catapults, the Bingzhou Army had a certain advantage, but the Sima Army still had strong strength overall and also had the ability to attack strategically.

However, after the Battle of Jizhou, the Sima Army suffered heavy losses. In order to make up for the shortage of soldiers, they began to recruit soldiers and horses in a crazy manner. Many strong men were forced to join the army. These soldiers with no combat experience seriously lowered the overall quality of the Sima Army, making the Sima Army's combat effectiveness impossible to compare with the past.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army is increasing day by day. With the continuous fighting, the new soldiers gradually grow into veterans, while the veterans have richer experience, which has a qualitative improvement in the overall combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army. Between one and the other, the Sima Army can no longer equate with the Bingzhou Army in terms of combat effectiveness.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be defeated in a hundred battles. Deng Ai not only knows his army well, but also conducts detailed reconnaissance of the Qingzhou army, and has achieved complete calculations.

Deng Ai also knew that the Qingzhou army's defense was very hasty now, so he was not ready to give Sima Yong any respite. After arriving at Linzi City, he immediately launched an attack. With the ruthless move, he directly begged all the more than 300 catapults.

This violent attack method easily destroyed the fighting will of the Qingzhou army to a large extent. Many people have only heard of the scene of catapulting cars siegeing the city, but they have never seen it at all. Often, poverty limits people's imagination. They cannot imagine how strong the catapult cars are. They think they are just throwing a few stones into the air, not so terrifying or terrifying.

But at this moment, when I saw the catapults in a dense formation, the stone bullets in the air were like locusts, rushing towards the top of Linzi's city, almost all the Qingzhou soldiers were shocked.

Flying stones spread across the sky, covering the sky. It was originally clear and there was a sky, but now it was like dark clouds covering the top, and even the sky became gloomy.

The dense rock bombs fell down and roared and smashed the city walls and the city heads. The huge impact force made the city walls shake, gravel flying everywhere and dust filled the sky, and the stone bombs that hit the crowd were even more bloody and fuzzy.

Any defensive weapon loses its effect at this moment. As long as the person hit by a flying stone, the bones will be broken at the least, and the tendons will be broken at the worst. This kind of power is not something that human power can compete with.

The Qingzhou army, which was waiting for battle, had completely collapsed under the attack of a round of stone bombs. Many soldiers ran away in a panic and fled to the city. At this time, the city walls had become the most dangerous place. Whether they were alive or not could only be luck, because no one could resist such a terrifying destructive force.
