Chapter 141 Break the city

Dongdongdongdongdongdong! The war drum sounded with a strong momentum. The extremely penetrating war drum sounded throughout the battlefield. Thirty trenchers were stretched to the limit. With Zhou Chu's order, the ignited stone wrapped in hay flew out with a perfect arc and smashed hard to the opposite side. The first round of attack was not successful, but it didn't matter. I will be effective sooner or later if I had time.

The soldiers of the Funan defenders all heard the sound of breaking through the air above their heads, but no one dared to look up, just thinking about what this was.

"Big means beauty, and more means good! It seems that the people of Funan do not understand this simple truth very well." Sima Ji, who held two walnuts in his hand, had a little bit of planning at this time, and felt the feeling of the enemy's chief being destroyed while chatting and laughing.

"Your Highness has fully demonstrated his confidence. I believe that the children of Funan are in a state of confusion." Li Yi, the captain of Nanyi, spoke out and made a little favor from Sima Ji. After all, for such a short time, he has not forgotten the fact that King Yan cursed him.

Three sieges are missing one, which is common on the battlefield, especially when siegeing. This is not because the siege coach is kind and opens his side to the enemy, but because he hopes to leak a gap so that his opponent can't help but break through.

Sima Ji did this simply. He was more afraid that Funan King Fan Sheng was a real man. If he wanted to commit suicide, he would die for the country. He burned the palace with a torch, where would he plunder the treasures? Leave a thought to the other party and also a chance for himself. As for the death and injury of the soldiers, compared with gold, silver and treasures, the King of Yan did not feel much distress.

Of course, the Xianbei people at the forefront of the army were wearing heavy armor and waiting for the trencher to break a gap. It would be a waste not to use these heavy armors. This kind of heavy armor soldier with a strong and sharp armor was produced in the Liaodong area, and even if he didn't need to ride a horse, he could fight. What is the difference between the Tiefutu of the Jin Dynasty and the Foren armor of the Song Dynasty? There is no difference, the weight manufacturing is almost the same, one is organic power and the other is not automatic power.

Before this, Murong Yun had led Hu Qi to rob the surroundings. Murong Yun used his usual means to sweep the here like a gust of wind, and the Funan people who robbed here complained. Because the heavy armor was wasted during the robbery, it was not used. Now it is just right for the siege to be used.

"As it said, concentrate all your strength and attack again. Although this may suffer some losses, it is still worth it compared to the protracted tug-of-war." Sima Ji finally retracted his gaze from the parabola and said, "So a thunder strike must break through Funan Kingdom. Once you fall here, I will feel uncomfortable, and you will do the same."

After saying that, Sima Ji looked back at the generals and schools around him, including the imperial guards, the Jiaozhou, the Hu people, and the Yishou. But it doesn’t matter. They are all their own people now.

Maybe many in the city are cursing King Yan, this unmoral invader. But so what? He can't hear it, let alone the curse cannot change the fate of these Funan people.

The huge rocks with flames were constantly thrown out by the catapult. Although most of them did not hit the target, the few huge rocks that hit the city wall still brought a sense of earth-shaking.

The catapult was too shocking for a small country where most of the land was forested. Moreover, Funan had no need to understand this kind of siege equipment, and it was only a few Brahmin masters who were well-informed and told Funan's army that such equipment was useless. What had you done earlier? If you didn't make it early, you could throw it away at each other.

"Once the capital of Funan is broken, everyone who dares to appear on the street will be killed. At this time, it is definitely not a good person to appear on the street. No male in all the official families can be spared and completely destroy the power center of this country. This will make us much easier in the future. By the way, a few Brahmins, if you can catch them, I will talk to them!" Sima Ji called Manu over and said, "After the city is broken, you will follow some imperial guards to find people, do you understand!"

The Funan Kingdom is already in the eyes of the King of Yan, and there will be no variables. The only thing worth considering is whether the Funan royal family will break through. Other Hu cavalry are already waiting for them in the west.

Finally, under the attack of the catapult, the city wall on the south cracked, which was a very bad trend. Once the brick and stone wall cracked, it would be very difficult to repair, and a little damage would be a big gap.

The defenders here were anxious, but they had no choice but to shout and scold the soldiers and ask the soldiers to avoid them. They must give these invaders a powerful word later, etc.

"I heard that the city wall on the south side cracked, and I don't know when to take action!"

"Report, there is a gap in the city wall on the east!" A continuous exploration of horses reported the latest information to the central army from the military formations in all directions, and all the generals and officers looked at the unmoved King of Yan.

Sima Ji's face seemed to have not heard it. He had to wait until the catapult knocked out the stone. One by one, he continued to report the news, and the news brought was getting better and better. There were big gaps on the three walls attacked by the catapult. At this time, Sima Ji was not there, the old god was there, and pulled out the long sword in his hand and inserted it directly on the ground in front of him, shouting, "In the evening, the army is about to enter the city, so don't delay!"

"Yes, your king, your highness!" The report was indeed a bit messy, after all, they were not from Central Plains. Sima Ji didn't say much, watching these generals return to their troops to command the siege.

The siege car was still approaching the city wall under the cover of archers and shield players. The Kangju defender did not have the long-bow and crossbow of the Jin Dynasty, but he relied on the high walls and the terrain was as good as the rain, and many siege soldiers were shot down. From time to time, the defenders were shot on the city wall, screaming and falling down to the city.

The soldiers from both sides were constantly shot down, but their original positions were immediately replenished. Suddenly, a wave of heat poured down from above. Many soldiers in the city reacted quickly. This was oil, so they had to dodge quickly. But it was too late, and there was a scream at the bottom of the city, and dozens of people were immediately scorched by hot hot oil. Then dozens of torches flew down, and the city carving weapon quickly set off a fire. The soldiers around who had just escaped the oil were immediately surrounded by the fire. Dozens of firemen danced in howling and finally fell into the sea of ​​fire.

"Yeah!" Sima Ji stared at this scene in a straight face. This is why he was unwilling to fight head-on. There are many kinds of deaths on the battlefield, but no matter how he died, being burned to death was the last option. During the World War, many soldiers would rather be exposed than to kill the enemy soldiers carrying flamethrowers. This is the reason.

"Tell me the order, step up the attack, you can't retreat. I see how much oil you have!" Looking at the flames, Sima Ji still made up his heart and ordered coldly, "Tell the generals and schoolmen that there will be more hot oil in the future if they can't catch it now, and the corpse can refine oil."

Hundreds of cloud ladders were placed against the city walls, and soldiers like ants held shields, knives in their hands, and went up the ladder. Only a whistle sound was heard, countless arrows flew from all over the place, and the people on the cloud ladder were shot and fell down.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hot oil was poured down, and then many torches were thrown down, as if echoing the orders of King Yan. The fragrance of barbecue spreads out at the city after get off work.

The hardest hit area where the soldiers on both sides were still the gaps that were smashed by the trenchers. The most elite troops were all here, whether they were wearing heavy armor or the vine armored soldiers. If they did not hide behind the city wall, once they lost their suddenness, the effect of hot oil was greatly reduced. How far could they splash water on a basin?

"Don't retreat, either make a concerted effort or die here." Many Yishuai and Hu Qi encouraged in their own language, "Run in at a glance, everything in the city belongs to us."

At the city gate not far away, the siege hammer had reached the edge of the city gate. The soldiers shouted slogans and pushed the giant tree together. The giant tree shook farther and farther. When the swing reached its maximum, the giant tree finally hit the wooden door. The wooden door trembled in the roar and made an incomprehensible cry. On the other side of the city gate, the Funan soldiers inside used the top bar to resist the city gate that seemed to be knocked down at any time. Once the city gate was broken, the city was lost, and it was not far away.

"Breaking open the city gate for me, hurry up!" The leader shouted anxiously. Every minute and second delay could cause huge casualties. Just when he thought about this, an arrow shot the general in the arm.

"Your Highness, should you take a break?" Li Yi saw that things were not going well, and two hours had passed in a blink of an eye. Should he let the already tired soldiers retreat and rest?

"Is it to let the Funan people in it take a break. How many of them can consume it like this?" Sima Ji tilted his head and looked at Li Yi with a smile, "There are two situations that happen most. The first is to conquer the city in one day, and the second is relatively unacceptable. Examples of siege of the city are everywhere. With your Ningzhou army, I can also say that I will gather 100,000 troops again. Is there a hundred thousand men, women, young and old in Funan? Now I have to rest if I lose only a few thousand now?"

So, no, the final winner will not change if he fights like this. Since he must be himself, why should he delay this victory? The fight continues. Finally, the gate of the south city gate was knocked open, which became the first factor to change the situation. The Jin army rushed in like a flood like a pipe rush.
