Chapter 86: All show their magic

In fact, from the beginning, Xie Linlang guessed that there was a trebuchet on the boat of the water bandit.
Because their boats can’t enter the shallows, it means that they have heavy objects on their boats. In this era, there are so many weapons that can attack from a distance. If it is a bow and arrow, how many bows and arrows will it take to hold down so many big ships? So it can only be stones and trebuchets.
It's just that she originally thought that these people were planning to use the trebuchet to attack the city and kill people, but she didn't expect that their purpose was to destroy the city wall.
It seems that they want to trade the smallest loss for the greatest benefit. Is it really good to be so greedy?
Once the attack on the river surface was launched, it did not stop. The wall was banged by the boulder, and the rubble and ashes kept shaking off, giving people a feeling of crumbling.
The water bandits planned well. They planned to destroy the city wall on the first day of the war, and then directly enter the city from the hole, killing the most people with the least sacrifice!
But Xie Linlang's preparations these days were not made in vain. She sent people to strengthen the weak city walls. Although it was still very fragile, it was impossible for them to destroy it in one round.
Sure enough, in the flood of stone rain, even though the wall that looked very weak had been smashed with a lot of gaps, it still stood stubbornly, making Lian Ke very surprised.
On the other side, Dong Gu sent people to attack the city, but Mr. Liu was guarded strictly!
This surprised him a bit. Originally, he thought that such a small city should be able to enter in one round of offensive. Who knows that this northern city gate is not only strong and heavy, but it is also not an ordinary person.
But it doesn't matter. If you can't make it in one round, there will be two rounds. Anyway, they are crowded, and they attacked repeatedly. See how long the opponent can defend!
The shouting and killing sound shook the sky, and Mr. Liu, who commanded the defending city, felt strenuous under the successive strong attacks.
Originally, these people were mobs, even if there were a large number of them, they could still hold onto them.
But the bad thing is that the rebels go south, and there is not much food left. This siege is equivalent to a last resort for the rebels!
Coupled with their large number of people, they have the determination to win, multiplying each other, it is simply unstoppable!
However, they lack people and weapons, and when the opposing party's momentum is crushed by the number of people, how will this battle be fought?
Fortunately, Mr. Liu is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. Since there are few people, he uses the rotation method to defend the city, and uses a trebuchet to throw gravel against the opponent’s arrows. The gravel contains glass he prepared in advance. Whether they were scratched by the glass or stepped on the glass slag, the rebels can cause them a lot of trouble!
In this way, an offensive and defensive battle was consumed from day to night, and finally stopped.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. There is no way to solve the food crisis on the rebel side. Once people are driven to desperation, everything will be done!
No matter how strong their door is, it can't withstand their successive storms.
At the same time, the situation at the South Wall is also very tense.
For the whole day, Xie Linlang did not bring anyone out, because as soon as they appeared on the city wall, the opponent would attack with huge stones. Instead of increasing unnecessary casualties, it was better to let them smash.
Fortunately, the reinforced city wall really survived the first day of storming by the water bandits.
Those water bandits had no choice but to send a part of the boats to fetch stones again. This gap between them bought time for everyone in the city.
As soon as they stopped, Xie Linlang asked everyone to repair the wall. Although it was impossible to repair it completely, it was better than nothing.
Everyone didn't understand, what's the point of always mending the wall? Did they make it up quickly?
But at this time, no one would question Xie Linlang's decision.
In this way, two days passed. In these two days, the three parties were deadlocked and there were no major casualties, but Xie Linlang and the water bandits had to wait, but the rebel leader Dong Gu couldn't wait!
The people under his staff have to eat, but he promised them that there will be Jinshan Yinshan in Xiangcheng, and they will come. They have not seen Jinshan Yinshan at the moment, but their food is almost gone. If they drag on like this, his Shouldn't advantages become disadvantages?
Ever since, Dong Gu decisively ordered a truce, ending the endless siege of the city these days.
He tidied everyone up, and then put all the food in the pot, so that they could open up and eat a full meal!
At the same time, all the wounded were removed, and all the damaged weapons were replaced with new ones. Looking at this posture, I am planning to prepare for a general attack!
At this time, there have been many cracks and mutilations in the city wall of the north gate, and there are not a few injured. Although they have been prepared, under the continuous attack of the rebels, their prepared boulders are almost consumed. , If the rebels attack again at this time, their chance of defending is very slim...
Seeing that the rebels outside the city were directly making fire in the open air, the injured commander Bai Heng proposed to Mr. Liu.
"Sir! Rather than wait for them to rest and have another attack, why don't we take advantage of the attack now? The city gate can no longer stand their attack again, we take the initiative to attack, maybe there is still a chance!"
But Mr. Liu knew that this wouldn't work. That Dong Kui was a deep-minded person, as you can see from his siege methods these days, how could such a person leave an obvious flaw?
I'm afraid he is waiting for him to open the gate now so that they can take advantage of it.
Instead of going out to die, it is better to stick to the last moment.
So he shook his head, "This is not the time for a surprise attack."
"When will it be? Are we waiting to die in the city?!"
Mr. Liu looked moved, but he looked towards the horizon and shook his head.
"Now, it's not time yet..."
On the other side, the south wall was also pitted.
In the continuous impact, the wall close to the observation deck obviously could not last long.
Once the wall collapses, the water bandits on the boat will definitely swim over and fight with all their strength. Then, how could these unarmed people in their city be opponents?
But Xie Linlang didn't know the consequences of the wall collapse. In the past two days, she did nothing but repair the wall.
Finally, the other party's smashing into the wall was much smaller, not because there were no more rocks, but because the trebuchets were almost broken.
Seeing that the trebuchets were throwing out with all their strength and the stones could not reach the city wall, the water bandits gradually stopped this behavior, and the river surface finally calmed down.
Upon seeing this, Xie Linlang boarded the city wall alone, looking at the pitted wall and the mess on the ground, she smiled and asked mockingly.
"So you ran all the way, testing the distance in secret, and moving the stones back and forth, but in the end you can only do this to this extent? I can't even break a wall?"
Seeing that she still didn't see the coffin or shed tears like this, Lian Ke smiled gloomily.
"If it's just like this, where would I dare to come?"
