The messenger waved the order flag and sent orders to the gunners at the top of the city. The second round of shooting was launched soon, and all twenty shots were not hit by the target this time, but they fell into the surrounding thieves and killed more than ten bandits. The third round of shooting was re-fired, and this time they successfully hit the target. The thief's destruction vehicle and the three destruction guns on the chariot were hit and destroyed again.

The bandits also began to fight back, trying to hit the cannons and catapults at the top of the city. However, although they had many cannons, the gunners were not skilled enough. Although they fired a lot of volleys, their hit rate was basically zero. Several rounds of volleys did not hit the tiger squat cannons and catapults at the Tigerhead Castle.

After all, the Destroyed Cannon is often scattered by vehicles, shooting from the city to the city. It is too difficult to hit at such a long distance, not to mention that there are female wall screens on the city.

"Back, back"

Ma Shoucheng was so distressed that he watched his killer weapon, the Destroyed Cannon, who was hit by three vehicles in a row, destroying nine cannons. If this continues, the thirty-six cannons would have to be explained here. As a last resort, he had to quickly order the driver to retreat the cannon, retreat one hundred steps from 300 steps, and retreat four hundred steps to the city.

Another group of bandits were dispatched to carry large wooden shields to form a formation to guard the cannon chariots.

In this way, the danger of the cannon cart being thrown by cannons on the city was changed, but it also made the cannons that were already fired inaccurately and could not hit the cannons on the city. In the end, Ma Shoucheng had to helplessly stop trying to use the cannons on the city to knock down the cannons on the city, and just asked the cannons to fire shots into the city with the cannons to cover the infantry to charge to climb the city.

The tiger squat cannon and the catapult car fired several shots one after another, but the destroying cannon retreated a hundred steps, making it difficult to gather fire again. Cai Yuanning no longer did useless work, so he only let the tiger squat cannon and the catapult car aim at the ladders in the trenches under the city, aim at the thieves who were going to cross the trenches, and fire shots.

After being bombarded several times, dozens of people were killed and injured in succession, the thieves were also a little overwhelmed.

The thief who rushed to the trench retreated, rushed up after a while, but held more wooden shields, and some simply carried larger wooden shields. These wooden shields were like small boats that were overturned, or a large eight-immortal table with four wooden pillars underneath, with large tables above, and the thieves hid below.

This method is indeed effective. The muskets and bows shot from the top of the city are blocked, making it difficult to shoot at the people below.

The officers and soldiers switched to rockets, but the shields were made of temporarily cut trees, all of which were wet and were soaked in water. The rockets could not burn at all when they shot them.

With these, they finally successfully advanced to the trench.

Then they began to fill the soil and trenches, preparing to push them under the city wall like this. It was obvious that there were many disadvantages to crossing the trenches through ladders. The biggest disadvantage was that only one person could pass through the wooden ladder at a time, which made it difficult for them to rely on a large shield to resist the muskets and bows when passing the ladders.

"Drop the thunderbolt bullet."

Liu Jun ordered that dozens of strong and powerful team members immediately took a thunderbolt bullet from their bodies. This two-pound iron-shell flowering bullet could not be thrown too far, but the powerful ones could still be thrown from the city walls several meters high, and could be thrown across the trenches and at the feet of the thieves.

"One, two, three, invest"

Ergou took the lead in throwing out the thunder in his hand. The thunder in the cast iron shell rolled in the air with white smoke and sparks, drew an arcuate track and fell into the trench.

The thunderbolt bounced on the big wooden shield a few times, and finally fell to the ground, with sparks and white smoke still emitting.

The thief under the shield felt cold when he saw this thing. Many people had seen this thing last night. When they exploded, the ones who were hit would be broken.

A thief lowered his head and picked up the Pili Bullet and wanted to throw him out again, but as soon as he got it, the Pili Bullet's drug was burned to the end.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the thunderbolt bomb exploded, and the cast iron shell exploded into several pieces, sputtering with iron pieces and nails inside. The unlucky thief holding the thunderbolt bomb immediately splashed red and white like the exploded watermelon. The dozen or so thieves under the same large wooden table next to them were all hit, and everyone was injured by the sputtering and fell to the ground, wailing endlessly.

One by one, thunderbolt bombs fell into the enemy group, exploded and roared, like flowers blooming in the enemy group.

"Beautiful job" Liu Jun laughed at the results of this round of thunderbolt bomb.

There were waves of drums coming from the city tower behind. Chen Man and the girls beat the skin drums together, and the drums gathered together and resounded throughout the city. From time to time, there was a sound of girls' shouts. The powerful and thick drum sound, coupled with the crisp female voice, immediately stimulated the blood and fighting spirit of the soldiers on the city.

Among many instruments, it can be said that the sound of drums is the most inspiring morale and courage.

The nine-headed bird guards the city, and after hard training, they stood on the city, and became more and more courageous as they fought.

Amid the drums, the thief was still shouting to transport soil to fill the trenches, but the speed was much slower.

Every moment, thieves fell on the edge of the trench, and the blood had already dyed the trench red. The thieves finally showed their fierce side. Although no one fell down, they did not retreat and withdraw their troops. They even lifted the bandits who fell on the edge of the trench and threw them into the trench to fill in the trench.

"At all aim, shoot again, calmly and calmly"

Liu Jun was not afraid of this situation, but was only happy. He really wanted to play this desperate tactic. Liu Jun could only play with his life to fill the trench.

When the thieves filled the trench with their lives, there was a wall of sheep and horses behind them, and a taller city wall. Even if they broke through the city gate, there was an inner city behind them.

How many thieves can be filled in

Zhang Donggou was holding a gun and searching for the target coldly. As long as there were thieves who were free from the protection of the big shield within a hundred steps, they could not escape his shooting.

"Bang"

Another gunshot was heard, and a bandit who ran out of the big shield to avoid the thunder bullet was shot in the chest and killed instantly.

"Fifth one." Zhang Donggou did not rush to clean the chamber of the gun, but picked up the dagger on the ground and carved another vertical pattern on the handle of the gun. There were already twelve vertical patterns on his gun, which means that he had killed twelve enemies since he joined the Nine-Headed Bird.

Although there were quite a few casualties, the bandits still filled several passages in the trench bit by bit.

With these passages, they could hold the big wooden shield and push it to the opposite side of the trench, no longer worrying about being shot by muskets and bows on the city when passing through the moat.

The bandits burst into shouts, celebrating that they had finally filled the trench.

Liu Jun on the city just sneered. He paid so many casualties and just took down a trench. What's so happy about? What's there to be happy about now in front of the thieves is the wall of sheep and horses built outside the city gate.

The Sheep and Horse Wall was originally a protective wall outside the outer wall city, protecting the suspension bridge on the trenches and protecting the urn city gate. However, the Tiger Head Fort was designed with an inner wall city, so this one-meter-high Sheep and Horse Wall is actually equivalent to an outer wall city.

There were no guards on the sheep and horse wall, but the wall built next to the trench still had strong defensive functions. To reach the city, you either take down the suspension bridge first or you have to climb over the wall first.

With the wall of sheep and horses, it can not only stop the attack of the bandit army, but also allow the defenders to shoot and kill bandits from a high position.

Without several times the strength of the troops, it is really difficult to capture a city with complete defense functions head-on. With the city relying on, the defenders can exert great attack power.

The thief who had crossed the trench carried a ladder on the wall of sheep and horses and began to climb over this new obstacle on the ladder.

But in this way, their shields will no longer be used.

Cai Yuan looked at the thieves who came out of the shield and started climbing the wall of sheep and horses, and smiled excitedly, "A bunch of idiots, isn't this here for our bird gunners to be a living rake."

Indeed, those people have become living rakes and bandits who lack cover. Once they climb up the wall and show their heads, they will be ruthlessly shot and killed by bird gunmen on the arrow tower.

After almost all the thieves who climbed up the wall were shot, the thieves behind began to organize bows and arrows to fight back at the city. However, shooting arrows from below at the city was not as easy as the nine-headed soldiers standing in the arrow tower and the enemy tower.

In the bandit formation behind, Ma Shoucheng looked at his fallen subordinates and was furious. He was also a little frightened. He was originally unwilling to accept the failure last night, and felt that he was just being humiliated by the defenders in the city.

But after fighting for a long time, although the team has not collapsed yet, the huge casualties have begun to shake morale. After fighting for a long time, I only filled a trench and didn't even touch the city wall, but the losses have been very heavy.

With such skill, at least 300 brothers fell down forever, and many others were injured. I thought that once the thirty-six enemy destroyers were taken out, the small tiger-headed castle would not be broken immediately. He was wrong, and it was a bit outrageous.

Now Ma Shoucheng is difficult to ride a horse, and continues to attack, and he is already weak. If this continues, either his people will be exhausted or his brothers will collapse and run away. But after stopping, he is unwilling to give up. He has been traversing the Central Plains for more than ten years and commands 3,000 horses to fight a small fortress city. He has suffered a defeat against hundreds of regiments. How can he accept this? What's more, the people guarding this fortress have killed his son and thousands of brothers one after another.

"Singing gold, withdrawing troops"

Ma Shoucheng gave an order with a dark face.

The sound of gold sounded on the battlefield, and the bandits who were blocked under the wall of sheep and horses were all relieved and retreated like a tide.

After the bandit retreated, a bandit rode a horse and held a white flag in his hand to the moat under the city.

"General Liu from the city, please come and answer."

"What are the tricks to play with the thief?" Zhang Shan sneered. Everyone was relieved when they saw the thief retreat. Until now, the nine-headed bird has not suffered any casualties, but once the enemy starts to attack the city, they will inevitably have many casualties when they are close to each other.

If the thief is willing to retreat now, it will certainly be the best thing.

Liu Jun couldn't guess the thief's intentions, but he might as well listen.

"The people under the city say nothing, my general listens." Zhang Shan asked a loud voice to shout to the city.

The bandit shouted loudly to the city, "Listen to the governments in the city, although you have the advantage of the city defense, you will have the upper hand for a while, but don't forget that you only have a few hundred township braves, but we have thousands of warriors. Your moat has been broken, and our troops can climb the city to fight at any time. But my general can't bear the unnecessary casualties between the two sides, so I would like to give you a piece of advice, open the city gate, abandon the weapons and surrender, and my general can prevent everyone in the city from dying. Otherwise, when the city is broken, all the city will be slaughtered without leaving a single one."

When Liu Jun heard this, he couldn't help but chuckled disdainfully. He couldn't attack the city, so he began to intimidate him. Unfortunately, they were facing themselves and were not afraid of such false words.

"Listen to the thieves under the city, I am Liu Jun, the general manager of Macheng. Now I will give you a piece of advice. Why don't you give up your weapons and surrender to Yu immediately?" Liu Jun laughed, "It's useless to say more. If you have any skills, please come over. Liu will follow you."

Seeing that Liu Jun was not afraid at all, the man had to change his tone.

"General in the city, you must see clearly. The one standing in front of you is just a vanguard from the left fifth camp. You blocked us for a moment, but there was nothing to be proud of. We had a hundred thousand troops back to the left fifth camp, and we would come here at any time. At that time, do you think this small castle city can still block our cavalry? Think about it carefully, don't try to be quick and show your courage. My general will give you a night to consider it. Let's wait for your reply today and wait for your reply tomorrow morning. If you still don't know how to politely, then you will die with this castle city."

After saying that, the thief rode his horse back to his formation.

Then, the bandits began to retreat slowly. This time, they retreated directly ten miles away from the city to camp and block the enemy.
