The sun finally disappeared on the horizon, and the Ming army's tide-like offensive came to an abrupt end. Wang Xiong almost lost his penis and threw away the big knife that had almost become a serrated one in his hand. He sat on the wet ground, and was not water but blood that was soaked on the ground.

The Ming army was astonishingly efficient in clearing out peripheral obstacles. From the first ray of sunshine to the noon, they cleared all obstacles outside the city and filled a moat that was hundreds of meters long.

Wang Xiong first saw the endless means of Ming Dynasty. He thought that the Ming army would use earth and stone to fill the moat. In this case, it would take at least one or two days to fill the moat so that the Ming army could actually arrive at the city and start attacking. But it only took an hour for the Ming army.

It was something like a floating box. It was a long board on top and four wheels were installed below. It was pushed by the Ming army quickly through the battlefield and then pushed into the water. When one thing that was similar to the floating bridge was pushed one by one, the Ming army climbing on it immediately had iron rods to fix the two floating bridges that were adjacent to each other. It took less time, and the moat was filled with such floating bridges.

Wang Xiong used rolling wood and rocks to attempt to sink these things, but the effect was very little. Only then did he realize that those things that looked like wooden boards were actually supported by iron rods. Using the buoyancy of water, the rolling stones to hit the wood, but only made them sink and then float up again.

The Ming army used these floating boxes to easily cross the moat, and then began an ant-attachment attack.

The Ming army's thunder fire poured the fireballs onto the city wall like rain. All day long, almost all the things that could be burned on the city wall were burned. The soldiers fought desperately with the Ming army in the fire and the iron balls that were raging everywhere.

When the Ming army began to attack the city wall, their shovel soldiers appeared again. This time, they completely fixed the floating bridge on the moat, and more heavy siege equipment appeared under the city.

The siege tower chariots were pushed directly to the edge of the moat, and the crossbows installed on it were crazily pouring arrows towards the city. Even if they were destroyed by the powerful crossbows on the city, new siege tower chariots would soon appear. Wang Xiong even saw that the opponent's craftsman directly fought the siege tower chariots at the rear of the battlefield.

For every time a siege tower car is destroyed, hundreds of people will be paid for death and injury in the city. The other party's rapid-fire crossbow, which is also placed on the tower car, will immediately concentrate firepower and shoot there.

In just half a day, there were as many as hundreds of destroyed crossbows on the city.

Wang Xiong didn't know how he survived the half-day. The Ming army's first attack attacked the city wall. Only at this time did the siege tower cars stop shooting. But as long as the Ming army was defeated and driven off the city wall, they would pour the rain of arrows onto the city wall again.

When night fell and the Ming army retreated and Wang Xiong walked on the quiet street, he was recalling the casualties that had just been counted.

The number of casualties in the defending city exceeds the number of casualties in the siege, or this is also very rare in siege battles in history!

Not to mention the level of courage of the army, their sharp siege weapons suppressed the city too much. The catapult, which was originally quite threatening to the enemy, suffered a huge blow after the opponent's thunder fire was pushed not far from the city. Every attack by the catapult would be attacked by the opponent's thunder fire like a storm.

The Ming army's Thunderbolt Fire shooters did not see where the catapults were hidden in the city, but they could roughly guess based on the trajectory of the stone bombs thrown, and then round after round of cover shooting. As long as their iron bombs hit, a catapult would be reimbursed in the city.

As for the Thunderbolt Fire, there is no way to defend the side. Unlike the stone trenchers in the city who are fixed in a certain position, they can move quickly. To hit a Thunderbolt Fire in the city, you need to have excellent luck, and only if the stone bullet weighing dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms hits will pose a fatal threat to those guys.

Wang Xiong saw with his own eyes that after a powerful crossbow hit the Thunder Fire head-on, the powerful force only made the Thunder Fire shake for a while, and the thick crossbow rod was still inserted into the guy, but the guy was not affected at all, and was still pouring iron and stone bullets into the city.

How should I fight this battle? Can I hold on to it again? Even if I use my life to fill it, I am afraid I can't fill it. Under the storm of the Ming army, too many people were piled up on the city, which only added military achievements to the enemy's merits.

The street is extremely quiet, without lights, and there is almost no sound. You can occasionally hear depressing crying. This street was once one of the most prosperous streets in Yongdu. There were many shops and restaurants on both sides of the street. Countless merchants made this street extremely lively here, but it has been several months since all commercial activities were cancelled in Yongdu City, and all the materials that can be collected have been centrally managed.

Wang Xiong sighed, "Waterless water, how long can you last if you save it?"

He stood in front of the General's Mansion, and there were several other generals who arrived almost at the same time as him. Several of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Today, the Ming army did not launch an attack in one place, but launched an attack in four directions at the same time.

Chen Xiufeng stood in front of the sand table, the majestic Yongdu City was now between his arms. Wang Xiong and four generals guarding the four walls walked into the room, walked to Chen Xiufeng without saying a word, and stared at the sand table together.

After a while, Chen Xiufeng raised his head and patted the sand tray, "This is a good thing, this sand tray is the first to use by Mingren, and it is clear at a glance."

The four of them looked up and looked at Chen Xiufeng.

They were not the top generals of Qin before. Chen Xiufeng, who had the highest status, was just a deputy general of the Thunder Army before. Qin Feng was famous and had experienced many battles, and had almost been completely damaged.

Chen Xiufeng was just in his early forties this year, and his short and dumb figure looked very calm. Looking at the four subordinates who had just come down from the battlefield, he asked in a deep voice: "How do you feel when fighting on the first day? I thought someone would ask me for help. You performed well. With your own strength alone, they withstand the first round of attacks of the Ming army."

Wang Xiong opened his mouth, but he held it back.

"Just say it if you want to!" Chen Xiufeng stared at him.

"General, I feel that the Ming army did not do its best to attack the city today!" Wang Xiong said.

"Do you guys have the same feelings?" Chen Xiufeng looked at the other people.

The other three hesitated for a moment, but nodded at the same time.

"Of course!" Chen Xiufeng sighed: "It was just a tentative attack. How could the enemy do their best? Tell me about your feelings, right?"

"The Ming army is very strong!" Wang Xiong said: "It is not only because of their bravery, but because of the orders, but even more because of their excellent armaments, strong armor and sharp weapons. General, we have to pay several people for every Ming army attacking the city to take them down. We can only suffer a slight minor injury from them with one knife, but when they slash over with one knife, we will have a life here."

He untied a knife from his waist and placed it on the edge of the sand table: "My knife broke down and turned into a saw. This is a Ming army sword I picked up randomly on the city. General, you see, a mere soldier is not worse than my original one. The swords of our ordinary soldiers cannot be stopped under such a sharp weapon. Most of them are the ending of one knife and two pieces of cut."

Chen Xiufeng lifted the knife, stretched his finger and flicked it lightly, and the sound of Qingyue echoed indoors. "The Ming people's iron smelting and steelmaking skills were originally the best in the world, but they didn't expect that even the most ordinary soldiers were equipped with such good swords. The strength between our two countries is too different!"

He sighed and put down his knife, "I have a basic understanding of the enemy for the first time today. You think that it will be the focus of the Ming army's attack."

"Here is me!" The four of them spoke at the same time. As soon as they said that, the four of them looked at each other and saw surprise and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"In other words, the attacks of the Ming army in the four directions made you feel pressure!" Chen Xiufeng did not blame them." Today, the Ming army invested in four battle battalions in four directions. Each direction had the scale of five thousand people. They didn't want us to touch where they wanted to attack! They had the ability to be the main attack in each direction. Four, what do you think should we defend? As long as the Ming army determines the main attack direction, they will definitely do their best. If we don't guess their main attack direction, we are afraid that it will not be too late to rescue. Yongdu City is very big, but at this time, it will give the enemy more attack locations and more opportunities to choose!"

"General, I'm afraid I can't defend it." Wang Xiong shouted: "Our only chance is to concentrate all our strength and find opportunities to fight the enemy in a decisive battle. If we can win, we can break the siege of Yongcheng."

"It seems that after today's battle, you finally unified your mind with me. Keep it? You can't defend it at all. Do I want to distribute all the Thunder Army equally into four directions? What's the difference between killing death? But how do I gather them together? How can I judge where the main attack direction of the Ming Army is?"

"Does Your Majesty still disagree to go out of the city to fight to the death with the enemy?" Wang Xiong asked.
