In fact, before this battle, the Daming Prefecture had already judged the direction of the attack of the Restoration Army.

So they moved all the elderly, weak, women, children and other burdens in Nanle City out of the city in advance.

Many people were unable to leave their hometowns and were reluctant to leave, so they were driven away. The Jin soldiers waved their steel knives and scolded them rudely and forced them away.

Only young and strong men were left in the city as civilians, and they could help the soldiers repair equipment and handle miscellaneous tasks. They could also go to the city to fight when necessary.

Everything in the city was requisitioned during wartime, and all houses and buildings became prepared weapons to defend the city, and there was no longer normal order.

It can be said that Nanle County has become a war fortress.

Faced with such a war fortress, even if the Restoration Army sieges three and one is missing, the effect is not great.

Without other burdens of eating food, the city's grain reserves and water reserves are quite sufficient. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem to eat for three or five months or even half a year.

Three or five months are actually enough for the Daming Prefecture to ask for help from the Jin Dynasty Central Committee.

The Daming Prefecture knew about the chaos in Shandong for a long time and knew that the crisis was approaching. Because of his distrust of the guy Shuhu Siji, the Daming Prefect Li Zhong refused to send him more troops and resources, and chose to use these troops and resources to protect him.

Now it seems that Li Zhong's choice is right, because Shuhu Siji defeated all the resistance forces in Shandong in one battle, and Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road completely collapsed, and all returned to the Restoration Army.

Then now the Restoration Army came to Daming Mansion to conquer the city, which made him very worried.

Thinking of the various coercion and inducement that Tu Shanjing had used to him before, Li Zhong sighed very much, thinking that his approach of persevering and never compromising was correct. Although it was a bit suspicious of friendly troops not saving them, it also brought a glimmer of hope to save Daming Mansion and wait for reinforcements.

Otherwise, when the Liberation Army arrives, Daming Mansion will surrender directly, so what will be the fight?

Local protectionism seems to have some significance...

As long as the Central Army of the Jin Empire can arrive for rescue before the food is consumed, there is still room for recovery. At that time, attacks on both sides of the inner and outer city will be able to hold on to the Restoration Army?

Li Zhong is full of confidence.

So Zhao Kaishan had a headache.

Eighty thousand troops surrounded a city and took a long time to attack. Before sunset, they failed to eliminate all obstacles and failed to approach the moat. Instead, hundreds of troops were lost in the process.

Among them, Zhao Xiang's troops suffered the most losses.

He was only responsible for Zhao Kaishan and did not care about the lives of the soldiers.

He asked the army to attack rapidly without any basis, forcibly drive soldiers to attack the obstacle area many times, and did not equip soldiers with sufficient protection, which eventually led to large-scale deaths in the obstacle area.

The Jin army defended the city with very sharp weapons, with a large number of bows and crossbows, and there were also long-range weapons such as bed crossbows. They were set up on the city walls and fired and attacked at a long range, which was a huge threat to the Restoration Army.

The Restoration Army still has experience in siege, but this is the first time to attack and defend such a tight city.

After an afternoon of attack, no effective progress was achieved, which could be considered a big setback for the Restoration Army.

After withdrawing the troops, Zhao Kaishan expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the four armies had not made any progress, criticized them, and asked the main generals from all sides to increase their efforts to attack the city.

"Don't worry about casualties! You can continue to recruit if you lack troops, but it will be difficult to find it if you lose a war! We cannot be defeated! Absolutely not! So give me all my strength to attack the city! Don't let anyone in the city go on the day of breaking the city!"

Zhao Kaishan was extremely angry and personally supervised the battle the next day. While watching his army continue to advance, he also paid a huge price.

A large number of soldiers fell on the way forward and blood spilled on the spot.

However, Zhao Kaishan didn't care much about the price. What he cared more about was whether his army could make greater progress.

The next day's war, the Restoration Army did make progress.

For example, he finally flattened the horse, filled the pits, cleared obstacles such as caltrops, and prepared to attack across the moat.

The moat is indeed very wide, but the Restoration Army also has corresponding crossing tools, which is a kind of equipment. It is basically a simple wooden bridge. However, there is a top design above the wooden bridge, which can block the attack of arrows and facilitate soldiers to cross the moat and attack the city wall directly.

The mechanical ladders of the Light Restoration Army also have equipment. As long as they approach the city wall, they will never be able to destroy these ladders, and it will not exist if they are pushed down.

With the rain of arrows from the Jin army, the soldiers of the Restoration Army crossed the moat and launched an attack on the city walls with the ladders.

The Jin army failed to attack the long-range blockade and began to use rolling wood, rocks, firearms, boiling boiling water and other close-range attacks on the Restoration Army soldiers under the city.

The huge stone was smashed down directly. As long as you aim, a stone could kill several soldiers of the Restoration Army in a series, smash them seriously, or directly kill them.

Firearms with combustion and explosion functions have a huge deterrence to the Restoration Army. The huge roar makes the firearms sufficient to kill and damage the soldiers of the Restoration Army in large quantities even if they do not have much lethality.

There were quite a few soldiers running around and even jumping into the moat when they caught fire.

The boiling boiling water was poured out immediately. When a tank of boiling water was poured down, the city was filled with the miserable screams of the soldiers of the Restoration Army, their hair fell off and their skin was broken, and there were many people who were scalded to death on the spot.

It's cruel, but this is the norm in siege wars. People with a little experience have become accustomed to it, and they lack fluctuations in their hearts.

They were still standing by the urging of their superiors and driven by interests, constantly pushing forward.

While the Jin army caused huge damage to the Restoration Army, the Restoration Army's tower vehicles continued to approach the city walls, launching bows and arrows to attack the Jin soldiers on the city. The dust chariots could also play a good role, especially at this time the wind direction was more conducive to the operation of the Restoration Army.

As a result, the Jin soldiers on the city wall were once suppressed by the Restoration Army.

At the south city gate where Li Xiao was responsible for the main attack, many soldiers of the Beiwei Army took this opportunity to rush up the city wall and fight with the Jin soldiers. The two sides fought bloody battles.

Pu Cha Sixiang was shocked and felt that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Restoration Army. He immediately dispatched a reserve team, that is, his own personal soldiers rushed to the southern city wall and the soldiers rushed up to the Beiwei Army.

At the same time, he ordered the crossbows on the city to immediately aim at the tower and dust trucks of the Light of the Restoration Army and to destroy them as soon as possible.

He was also worried that the counterattack power on the city wall was insufficient, so he ordered the catapult carts placed in the city to fire a large number of stone bombs to support him. So under the attack of consecutive stone bombs and bed crossbows, the siege equipment of the Lightning Restoration Army suffered a considerable blow.

The advancement of Puchasixiang's personal soldiers also caused the Beiwei Army to rush up the city wall to fail, and all of them were killed, and all the bodies were pushed under the city tower.

Things have come to this point, and this siege failed again.

Zhao Kaishan, who was watching the battle from a distance, was very angry and stomped his feet hard, only regretting that the soldiers were not strong enough, so he became ruthless and decided to send his personal guards out to participate in the battle and forcibly seize the city.

He ordered half of the guards to go into battle and replace the Beiwei army to launch an attack, prepare to climb the city with ant support. Zhao Yucheng was shocked.

"The leader! The attack is blocked. Mingjin should withdraw his troops and reorganize the queue to reduce casualties. Continue to attack. The casualties will be very large! Moreover, the leader's personal guards are absolutely elite, and they cannot be involved in the siege battle unless they have to!"

Zhao Kaishan pushed Zhao Yucheng away.

"It has come to this point, and if you can't capture the city, it doesn't make any sense! And I'm the leader, and whatever I say is what I say! Pass the order! Attack me!!!"

In a rage, Zhao Kaishan lost his mind and ordered his most elite guard to attack halfway, allowing these field elites who had finally selected and trained armed forces to attack the city wall.

As a result, a considerable part of the damage was damaged during the impact, and some were damaged during the climb, and were hit by rolling wood, rocks and hot water, causing serious losses.

Of course, in the end, many of them climbed the city wall and fought with the Jin soldiers. However, due to the lack of support, the Jin soldiers on the city had an advantage in numbers, so the attack of the leading guards was also declared to be unsuccessful, and this attack team was basically wiped out.
