The fight continued, with shouts of killing, screams and roars mixed together, but this seemed to have nothing to do with the Jin army outside the trench.

The barrier has been formed, and the brigade cannot reinforce. The Jin army who rushed through the trenches fought alone, but could not change the fate of being eliminated.

Pusanliu's family looked at the town and listened to the sound. He was both angry and helpless, and regret rose in his heart.

I underestimate the enemy, or underestimate the enemy!

You should be more prepared. Even if you cannot fill the trenches to attack, you should cut more trees and build more wooden ladders!

Pusan ​​Liu's family complained about themselves like this, but they didn't know that the defenders in the town had weapons not used!

Flying thunder cannons, meteor cannons. One can hit 170 to 80 meters, and the other can hit 500 to 600 meters. It has a complete gunpowder weapon with greater lethality.

In addition to the reinforced artillery, there are more than 3,000 infantry in the town, and with the fortifications, they can fully withstand the attack of these two thousand golden cavalry.

Persevere, consume, and delay. This is the task of the defenders in the town, which is to wait for the troops outside to complete the encirclement and try to make the Jin army suffer more casualties.

In less than half an hour, more than 200 Jin troops who were besieged by partitions were all destroyed. In other words, the two thousand cavalry led by Pusanliu's family had already attacked the town on the road, and there were nearly 400 casualties.

Bloody heads were picked up, and the defenders in the town were not only not afraid of the Jin army's attack, but also provoked them, fearing that they would not come.

Pusanliu's family gritted their teeth. Seeing that it was already noon, they ordered their subordinates to build rice and prepare for the attack.

The preparation work is mainly to cut down trees and build more wooden ladders. It is not impossible to fill the moat, but it is very difficult.

There is no shovel or bag, do you dig with swords and guns, and hold them with your hands? If you fill it with trees, it will take too much, and it will take a long time.

Smoke was also rising from the town. After the first victory, the defenders were more arrogant than before, with more covers exposed. The brave ones stood on the fortifications and cursed at the Jin army.

Pusanliu's family suppressed his indignation and anger. After dinner, they urged the soldiers to work as lumberjacks and woodcutters.

After the pause and delay in the middle, Pusan's idea of ​​staying at home changed. The time for filling the trenches was long, but it was safe. He wanted to capture the town in one fell swoop before dark, so he didn't want any more accidents.

It is not feasible to dig soil and put bags. Pusan ​​Liu's house asked the soldiers to sort the cut trees down, and the thick trunks were used as wooden ladders, and the thin ones were tied into firewood bundles.

And to fill the trenches and attack, it will definitely take a long time, so the suddenness of the attack cannot be achieved.

Therefore, Pusan ​​Liu's family arranged the attacking troops on the east and south sides, built bridges on the east side and filled trenches on the south side, and attacked at the staggered time, making it difficult for the defenders in the town to concentrate their firepower and play a role in a surprise victory.

No matter which side it is, once a breakthrough is made, it can arrive quickly with the mobility of the cavalry and serve as a second echelon to reinforce and attack.

In fact, Pusanliu's family has done its best. Facing an enemy who relies on fortifications and will never fight, not only him, but also famous generals will not have many solutions.

So, can the Jin army bypass Gaoqiao Town and go directly to Muling Pass?

If you want the correct answer, it is not possible; if you only say whether it can be done, then it is certainly OK.

Muling Pass is located in Mazhan Town, Yishui County, while Gaoqiao Town is only twenty miles south of it. It can be said that in the middle, there are mountains and hills, and two thousand Jin army cavalry penetrated it, so there is too little room for maneuver.

If Gaoqiao Town does not take it down, facing Li Quan's troops who broke through the south, the Golden Cavalry seemed to have no better way to strike except hard-heading and blocking.

Because the distance is too short, even if a person runs twenty miles, especially the most commonly used legs and feet, how long can it take for ancient people to use?

If it is lightweight, it will only take about an hour or half an hour to escape. In such a short time, the cavalry's advantage in chasing infantry over infantry cannot be reflected at all.

From this perspective, Gaoqiao Town is not only an outer barrier of Muling Pass, but also a supporter for Muling Pass to retreat.

Therefore, the troops led by Pusanliu's family must take down Gaoqiao Town to achieve its goal.

Although the Pusanliu family has shown its greatest talent and experience, Takahashi Town is so large that the density of three or four thousand defenders can be imagined.

Even if the Jin army tried its best to hide its attempt to build bridges and cross the trench, it would be very quick to mobilize troops in the town.

People’s judgments must always be based on basis, and they will not be conjectures out of thin air. If an unexpected situation occurs, they will naturally come to wrong conclusions or be troubled by confusion.

The same is true for all the guesses and judgments of Pusanliu's family. Faced with the repeated battles of the rebels, he had formed an inertial thinking. Although he had encountered setbacks now, he still believed that he could overcome difficulties and win them in battle.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, at about four o'clock, the Jin army finally prepared and began to fill the trenches from the south under the cover of shields and archers.

Bulks of firewood were filled into the trenches and poured water on them to reduce the damage caused by the defenders' re-use of fire attacks.

In order to confuse the enemy, Pusan ​​Liu's family placed the flag in the south, but he hoped to make a breakthrough in the east. Because such an obvious attack on the trench filling will inevitably cause the enemy to concentrate their weapons and troops.

The defenders did not respond to the Jin army's trenches. This common offensive method was naturally common, and the defenders were mentally prepared.

The first trench was gradually filled with a path about four or five meters wide. People stepped forward and felt a little trembling, but it didn't affect the passage.

The Jin army continued to fill the second trench and acted in an orderly manner.

The defenders in the town finally took action, using stone throwers and crossbow arrows to attack the enemy, but it was not very dense.

The Jin army suppressed the trenches and covered them with shields. Although they suffered casualties, the trenches were still being filled.

When the second trench was filled and the Jin army continued to work hard and advanced towards the third trench, the defenders' counterattack became fierce.

Several stone gunpowder bullets were smashed down, carrying burning sparks, either falling into soft bundles of wood, or rolling on the hard ground, and then bursting, bomb, bomb, bomb...

Gravels flew around, smoke and dust, and wood chips rose high, and the loud noise was deafening.

The smoke of gunpowder slightly dissipated, and you could see the dark craters with clear smoke, and the residual limbs of weapons were scattered around the craters.

The flowering bullets fired by the twelve-pound cannon in the West are usually loaded with about 900 grams of black gunpowder, which is less than two kilograms.

The stone bombs fired by the stone caster are two types: five kilograms and ten kilograms, and nearly half of the weight is the component of gunpowder. In terms of power, it is obviously much more than that.
