    When he arrived at the rear camp, Zhao Kuangyin's left shoulder was already swollen, and the injury was so swollen that the left half of his body became numb, so he had to give up the idea of ??standing up and fighting again.  Zhao Kuangyin spent two days playing around with the other injured brothers in the rear camp, and their relationship quickly became closer. However, because he was always worried about the battle situation ahead, he jumped out from time to time to observe the battle situation.  However, as the battle progressed, more and more wounded soldiers made him feel more and more depressed.  Within two days, the Zhou army, which had no shortage of manpower, built a safe passage and siege vehicle formations on the left and right sides of the west city of Shouzhou. At the same time, soldiers from other cities also successfully laid ramps to the top of the city, constructing a  There are six siege channels in total.  However, the scenes everywhere else were very similar to the tragedy that took place in the first siege channel: after all the siege soldiers attacked the city head despite the rain of stone bullets and arrows, Shouzhou City¡¯s fighting team, spearmen, and crossbowmen  , Mo swordsmen took turns to fight. Under the airtight three-dimensional strangulation, these elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty could hardly resist those who were more than two rounds. In just two days, just the top of the West City had swallowed up more than 10,000 Zhou troops.  , and the Shouzhou Army itself suffered very little damage.  The Zhou troops who were lucky enough to withdraw from the city were basically in the same state: seriously injured; their expressions were all the same: dumbfounded.  A very small number of people became like lunatics after they came back, murmuring constantly: "Shura Field, Shura Field" "Hell on earth" There were soldiers who occasionally mentioned "Shouzhou" and "Shouzhou" in front of them.  At the name "Lin Feng", these people immediately curled up as if being pricked by needles, and started shouting hysterically.  It was obvious that these veterans on the battlefield were so frightened by the massacre scene on top of the city that they went insane!  During Li Gu¡¯s period, he visited the injured soldiers in the rear camp once. He noticed the mental state of these people. He frowned and immediately ordered them to be transferred to other camps. He told Zhao Kuangyin and the others to take good care of their injuries and left in a hurry.  On the evening of July 29th, Zhao Kuangyin could no longer sit still. He rushed to the camp holding his injured left arm and found that the handsome tent was full of sorrow.  Before Emperor Guo Wei arrived, Zhao Kuangyin whispered to a deputy general who also belonged to the Forbidden Army to inquire about the current situation of the war.  The deputy general shook his head and kept sighing: "Beicheng, Dongcheng, and even Nancheng have also tried it. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. General Li (Chongjin) once tried to attack with the entire army, and lost 5,000 people in one battle. In the end,  We can only build passages to attack the city, but the effect is very little. Forgive me for damaging morale, but if we continue to fight like this, our armies will suffer a huge loss of vitality!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said nothing.  Guo Wei came in with a very calm expression. As soon as he sat down, he directly asked everyone if they had any other ideas for attacking the city. The group of people looked at each other and said nothing.  To be honest, if you want to capture Shouzhou City under the current circumstances, you can only fill it with human lives, but these are the most elite soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. What if they were lost in vain under a mere Shouzhou City?  Not worth it!  Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Kuangyin endured it for a while, but finally stepped out of the queue, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking nonsense. Now it seems that Shouzhou City has included the entire territory of Xiaotang and the Chu land."  We have a large number of masters and elites, and they are well prepared. If we continue to fight hard, it will only damage our strength. The general has successfully attacked Qingliu Pass and besieged Chuzhou.  The defenders are inferior to each other in terms of strength. Some soldiers even turned around and fled on top of Chuzhou City. They were the weakness of Xiao Tang's soldiers. Places other than Shouzhou can be regarded as Xiao Tang's weakness in winning military battles!  , The strong will defeat the weak. The final general boldly suggested that Shouzhou should be besieged instead of attacked for the time being, and the troops should be concentrated to sweep across Huainan and Jiangbei, with the main purpose of annihilating the Xiaotang soldiers. Now that the enemy's main force has been reduced, Shouzhou can be attacked at a moment's notice.  Finally, Lin Feng and Shouzhou may be able to successfully surrender." There was silence in the tent.  Li Chongjin also came out. He painfully stroked his injured and bound right arm and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, the last general also attacked the city. He found that the enemy command on the city often issued "minutes" and "seconds".  ', 'Hey', 'Alas' and other strange sounds are indeed a bit inexplicable, but the enemy's dispatch is extremely fast, accurate, and sharp, and our army cannot cope with it at all. The Shouzhou Army trained by Lin Feng is indeed extraordinary. "  Among the many generals of the Zhou army, Li Chongjin, although he is very young, has a strong background, strong martial arts, and understands the art of war. Such a "proud man of heaven" is willing to lower his head and praise his opponent, which also shows that Lin Feng and the Shouzhou army definitely let him  He was a lifelong rival who respected Zhao Kuangyin very much, and he already fully agreed with Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of sweeping the perimeter first.  Li Gu, who was next to the handsome chair, looked at Guo Wei's cold face and said something in his heart. He knew that this sage who had conquered the world through conquest would definitely not want to give in and give in. He could not pass this test in terms of face, so he had to step forward and say: "Sir  , Wei Chen believes that the morale can be boosted but not weakened. Our army is currently in high fighting spirit and can take advantage of the situation to attack. Wei Chen suggests that we attack for three more days. Three daysThe entire army within the army attacked the city day and night, and it will not be too late to follow General Zhao's advice after that.  " After Li Gu's compromise method was revealed, there was still silence in the big tent. Guo Wei looked around the big tent and whispered softly: "Just as Li Shuai said.  "After saying that, he turned around and left. "Early in the morning on July 30th, Commander-in-Chief Li Gu announced to the outside world that because he had been away from Beijing for a long time, the Holy One needed to concentrate on handling urgent official documents from the court, and non-important matters were not to disturb the Holy One. All the generals knew this.  Knowing this, he quietly knelt down outside the tent and asked for help, and then turned around to arrange the siege. From Chen hour onwards, the brutality of the offensive and defensive battle at the head of Shouzhou City escalated again!  He used ruthless tactics to attack the city: Hou Zhang of Dongcheng was quite gentle. He placed military supplies captured and looted from Qingliu Pass in front of the battle array and offered a large reward. He claimed that as long as he attacked the city and successfully wounded the enemy, he would be rewarded heavily.  Motivated by the money, Li Chongjin from Beicheng directly set up a supervising team and took charge of it. He was the first to stand at the edge of the safe passage in Beicheng and gave only one order: anyone who retreated from the city.  Soldiers will be punished for escaping from the battlefield and will not be spared! All the soldiers in front of them knew that there was no way to retreat, and they were determined to die. Qiu Hongchao, who was in charge of Nancheng, initially kidnapped several villagers from nearby villages.  They were prepared to take the lead in covering their own soldiers. However, when two villagers were forced to show their heads on the siege vehicle formation, they were immediately targeted by crossbows. The third villager who was forced onto the siege vehicle was a man with a disabled leg.  A middle-aged man, he hid behind the shield and shouted: "Tell Master Lin, my name is Chen Xiaoer, I am from Liupo Village outside Nancheng, and I have rebelled against Zhou Bing!"  " After saying that, Chen Xiaoer turned his shield over and threw himself towards the Zhou army behind him. Naturally, he who was unable to move was dodged to the ground and was instantly chopped to death by two Zhou soldiers. There was a Shou immediately on top of the city.  The state army shouted loudly: "Chen Xiaoer, you are indeed a good man from Shouzhou. You sacrificed your life heroically for Shouzhou. We will report the truth to Master Lin!"  " The expressions of the remaining earth-colored elderly villagers changed, and their expressions became condensed. Their eyes turned to the Zhou soldiers surrounding them. When Qiu Hongchao saw this scene, his anger rose in his heart, and he chopped down the one closest to him with his knife.  A middle-aged woman brandished her sword and shouted: "Soldiers, charge me!  Capture Shouzhou City in one fell swoop!  "Looking at the bright swords of the supervising team behind them, the selected soldiers stepped forward helplessly and started a new round of attack. Amid the frenzy of loud drum beats, 120,000 Zhou troops attacked simultaneously along the six passages along the four walls.  , This kind of attack regardless of casualties immediately achieved results. The city wall at the passage was quickly occupied by the Zhou troops who rushed up one after another. The combat team of the Shouzhou defenders was suddenly useless and had to retreat to the rear to let the spear array and bows  Crossbow formations and Mo Daoshou took turns to attack, but the Zhou army, knowing that there was no hope of retreat, also went crazy. The last action of many soldiers before they died was to hug the Shouzhou soldiers who were facing them, waiting for their brothers to follow.  This method of fighting for one life quickly spread to other soldiers. The Zhou army in the three passages of the West City quickly carried this method forward and successfully opened up two adjacent sections of the city wall, occupying nearly 100 meters.  The northernmost part of the city wall was only about ten meters away from the city gate tower! Panlong commanded the Tujia warriors to rush twice, but failed to rescue the two distant brothers who were trapped in the Zhou army. He could only watch them being destroyed.  Several Zhou soldiers were cut down, and someone stabbed his own right leg while he was still retreating. Blood flowed out. Panlong was completely angry and slammed out the long knife in his hand, hitting a jumping Zhou.  The soldiers were stunned, and turned around and ran to the inner city wall, holding up a black flag and waving it up and down three times. This was an emergency order for an indiscriminate attack! Suddenly, the unpleasant sound of machine gunfire sounded in the city again.  !
