The tug-of-war of filling the moat lasted for a whole morning, and the waves continued to strike at the four gates.

But soon the Pinglu Army could find that the attack of the right army of Ximen Shanghuai was obviously a feint attack, but it was just a constant shouting. However, in addition to the first and second-wheel shield cars attracting some attacks, the subsequent offensive would be much slower.

At the south, the north gate, especially the east gate, the offensive was in full swing. Even at noon, the shield cart pushed the stuffing of the people and the crowd without any delay.

The moat in Qingzhou City is obviously not enough in the face of such a filling offensive, especially the protection of the shield car greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the civilians. After all, in the past, the civilians often filled with simple leather shields and leather tents. Under high-intensity attacks like today, it is impossible to fill a door like the east gate without leaving behind seven or eight hundred corpses.

But today the shield chariot of Huaiyou Army reversed the situation. There were only 100 casualties during the filling process, a considerable number of them were injured, and most of them were rescued by their partners at the first time. Some of them were probably still alive.

Yu Mingzhen's eyes were a little more satisfied. He had to admit that the Huai You Army was indeed very different from other armies. At least in the preparation stage of this war, the Huai You Army had fully demonstrated their extraordinary side.

The powerful shield car and equipment troops are still a bit novel to Yu Mingzhen. Although he had known that the county magistrate was quite willing to invest in the Taoist Tibetan Materials Office, it was definitely worth it just judging from his performance this morning.

This intuitive feeling on the battlefield is far stronger than that of ordinary inspection demonstrations. Whether it is good or not, it is effective or ineffective. Only a duel with real swords and guns on the battlefield can be felt.

This new shield car alone is enough to make people stunned. Its good anti-strike ability and fire resistance are far beyond any protective shield car that Yu Mingzhen had seen before.

The North Gate was led by Yu Mingzhen, Wuning Right Army, but Yu Mingzhen knew very well that the tasks he was responsible for were questionable, that is, his offensive was between a feint attack and a breakthrough, and the measure between them needed to be grasped by himself.

Before, Yu Mingzhen made up his mind to act as much as possible to attract Pinglu Army to the greatest extent and reduce the attack pressure on the east gate and the south gate. However, after seeing the power of the new shield car and seeing a large number of catapult cars and heavy crossbows, Yu Mingzhen's thoughts became a little lively again.

He overturned his previous thoughts. He felt that the Wuning Right Army he led should not be just a secondary participant, but could completely become the protagonist, and to some extent had an advantage over the Huai You Zuo Army and the Wuning Zuo Army.

It's very simple. When everyone, well, including Pinglu Army, thinks that the North Gate is more of a secondary role that attracts troops, and Wuning's Right Army suddenly successfully implements a breakthrough, it may make the Pinglu Army without any preparation and response measures, and at least it can catch Panglu Army off guard.

Especially after having in-depth exchanges with the operators of heavy-duty crossbows and catapults, Yu Mingzhen became more eager and confident.

"Sir, I thought we could become an unexpected surprise." Lang Kun's gaze like a falcon was patrolling the city wall. "Wang Shouzhong and his team judged the situation quite accurately. They have observed that our North Gate may be a feint attack, or a minor side, and they are consciously reducing their defensive forces."

"Oh? So fast?" Yu Mingzhen took the Qianli Jing handed over by his subordinates and said in surprise: "These Pinglu troops still have such keen insight?"

"Sir, don't underestimate these Pinglu Army. Although Wang Shouzhong was not brave enough, he also spent enough effort in training troops. Didn't he hear that all the money in Pinglu states were basically used to raise soldiers? Because of this, it attracted a lot of attacks from officials in various states, believing that the raising of the army was too much, but it could not expand its territory and was only spent money. Therefore, Wang Shouzhong suddenly entered Haizhou when he marched into Xuzhou at Huaiyou."

Lang Kun and Yu Mingzhen had some in-law relationships, which some people questioned when they formed the Wuning Right Army at that time, but considering that the Wuning Right Army needed to be formed as soon as possible and to form combat effectiveness, and Lang Kun and Yu Mingzhen were only in-law relationships, Jiang Feng still asked the two to form the Wuning Right Army.

It is precisely because of this in-law relationship that although one of the two belonged to the Influence Army and the other belonged to the Taining Army, Lang Kun, as the deputy envoy, got along very well with Yu Mingzhen, and Lang Kun could openly talk to Yu Mingzhen.

"Well, Wang Shouzhong was not a reckless person, but this time he made a mistake. Haizhou is the lifeline of Xuzhou. If he took Haizhou, wouldn't he want to cut off our Xuzhou's livelihood? How can the county magistrate tolerate it? This is good, it gives us Huaiyou the best reason." Yu Mingzhen smiled slightly and said, "He also estimated the strength of the Pinglu army too high, thinking that if we wait for labor and fight a protracted war based on the city, we can lose our spirit and retreat. He thought it was too naive."

"It's not entirely true that Wang Shouzhong is stupid. Before I saw these equipment made by the Aisle Hall Library Office, I was still a little nervous. I thought that if I attacked like this, I was afraid that we would lose a huge amount of money and might even be taken advantage of by other enemies. But after seeing these big guys, I realized that the county magistrate was confident."

Lang Kun smiled happily, "Pinglu Army has good observation skills, but if they really think our North Gate offensive will be a fancy, then we might as well have a fake show. We also have the ability to do a fake show. What if the lord wants to do it?"

Yu Mingzhen was also quite moved.

When discussing the siege, there were differences and controversy over the positioning of the attack on the North Gate. Most people still tended to use the North Gate as the direction of the feint attack, and at the same time used two of the six armies of the Wuning Right Army as the general reserve team.

However, at this point, Jiang Feng still left a hole for Wuning's Right Army, saying that although it was a feint attack on the North Gate offensive, it also had to fight to the real attack, forcing the Pinglu Army to not easily transfer its troops to the East Gate and South Gate, so the control of the degree still depends on Yu Mingzhen.

Now the Pinglu Army has realized that the North Gate offensive might be a feint, so it has been adjusted. After all, it can be seen from the number of catapults and heavy crossbows that it is obviously less than the South Gate similar to the North Gate, and it is also obviously less than the South Gate in terms of military deployment. These are all invisible to these long-distance generals on the battlefield.

"The general reserve team..." Yu Mingzhen hesitated for a moment.

"Sir, don't worry, we might as well show that we are weak. We should not attack more and keep the strength. But don't do our best. Let's try again when the war between the East Gate and the South Gate is fierce." Lang Kun is also a very experienced general. "Of course, we should also play more tricks in the early attack. We have done our best to give Pinglu Army a single, but the strength is limited. We just want to make the airs full so as to better attract troops from the East Gate South Gate. As long as we can give Pinglu Army such an impression, we will be half successful."

Of course, Yu Mingzhen understood Lang Kun's meaning and preserved his strength, but he had to maintain the offensive strength, which also means that the troops who had feinted the attack in the early stage would definitely suffer a lot of losses, and the retained new forces should use breakthroughs at the last time.

"Well, that's it." Yu Mingzhen pondered for a while, "Look, be fully prepared. Wuning's Right Army cannot be a bystander, and must always make a difference."

*********************************************************

Wang Shouzhong's face was gloomy, and he stood on the battlement of the city wall with both hands, staring at the shield car that was slowly retreating.

It took only half a day for the Huai Youjun to completely fill the moats of the three gates, which was much beyond Wang Shouzhong's expectations.

In his opinion, even if the Huai Youjun is ignoring the life and death of the Master, he may not be able to fill the moat for a day. After all, the catapults and crossbows set up on the walls are not vegetarians. Qingzhou City's defense system is perfect and is enough to deal with any attack.

But I didn't expect to be stunned on the first day.

The impact force brought by the enemy's new shield car made the Pinglu army completely unprepared, and conventional strikes were difficult to work. Even if a part of the catapult and crossbow were pushed up urgently, increasing the attack force, the effect was still not good.

Wang Shouzhong also saw the three shield chariots being damaged and dragged back to the rear. It is estimated that there should be quite a few craftsmen in the Huaiyou Army being repaired in a intensive manner. Perhaps it won’t take long before these shield chariots will go to the battlefield again, and the next time they will cover it will no longer be the Master, but the soldiers who will attack the city.

There have been many damage on the city wall. A scepter beside Wang Shouzhong was hit by a huge rock from a catapult cart, knocking out half of the corner. The edges of the sharp stones were irregular and ferocious, and people would be cut by accident.

A soldier's body was being lifted down by the Master, but his soft body had no head. It was probably because he was hit on the head by a stone bullet. Looking at the brain plasma and blood that were running all over the ground, Wang Shouzhong felt annoyed for no reason.

A crossbow arrow pierced on the corridor column of the city gate tower. A soldier wanted to pull it out, but he shook it hard for a few times and couldn't take it off, which shows the strength of the crossbow arrow.

Qingzhou in November was already cold, and even the noon sun could not bring a little warmth to the city. The soldiers were busy setting up defenses, and a team of powerful crossbowmen began to complete the team at the horse's face.

The other two magicians were also quietly hiding at the small gate of the city gate tower, with a bulging bag, which should be some kind of magic weapon.

Wang Shouzhong was in a very bad mood. The enemy showed his strong strength, far exceeding his previous expectations, not only the shield car, but also the catapult car and the crossbow car.
