Chapter 1083
"Sanggong, anyway, we have already got the things. If we can, we can smash the whole house and run away. Even if Du Shuang finds out now, he won't be able to catch up with us."

"You're stupid! This hole is still there after you smashed it? Don't they put the broken pieces back together again?" Yaoyao said: "Ms. sir, do you have anything else that can make such a big hole in the iron plate? "

Zong Xin shook his head foolishly. It would not be a problem to smash the whole house, but just to punch a hole requires a very high level of concentration.Sifang Tathagata's miraculous skills are too obvious, Huaji hands can't destroy this iron plate, and it's impossible to force it hard.

"Sanggong, I actually thought of a way. If I use this way...it's a little disgusting, but no one will think it's you. Du Shuang will only vent his anger on other people." Ayumi said: "You can put this Put the blame on Zhao Kuangyin."

"How to blame?"

Ayumi said: "Use Yihan to cut this hole into a complete square. There are so many magical weapons in this world, it's hard to recognize compared to martial arts. And as I said just now, Wushuangchi is not just a tool that can measure anything The ruler is also a good weapon for cutting iron like mud. If Du Shuang saw that the hole was so smooth, his first reaction would be Wushuang ruler. Now Wushuang ruler is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin just left Wushuang City today. From this point of view... Zhao Kuangyin jumped into the Yellow River and can't clean up, it's either him or him."

"I despise you ~ Bumei Zhao Kuangyin is your ex-husband after all, how can you treat him like this?" Ning An said: "Don't you have any love between husband and wife? If Du Shuang knew that this matter was done by Zhao Kuangyin, he would have to go with him." Zhao Kuangyin is desperate."

"What does this have to do with me? As long as my husband is happy." Ayumi looked indifferent, but this matter made Zong Xin feel a little ashamed.

So Zong Xin took out the universe bag, reached in and pulled Yi Han out.Slowly draw along the iron plate, cut a small hole that was originally melted, and cut it into a very regular square.A melted ring in the middle was cut off by Zong Xin and stuffed directly into the universe bag, just find a place to dispose of it.

"Okay, let's go."

"Hmm!" X4
Zong Xin and his party ran away after emptying Du Shuang's treasure house. Zong Xin helped Ning An a little bit, because her lightness skill was a little weak, so he took her to run towards the city wall of Wushuang City at a high speed. At this time, Zong Xin A group of people no longer have to worry about being discovered, even if they are discovered, no one can catch up.

After leaving Wushuang City, Zong Xin and his party went straight to Qizhou.Although they were just on the way, there were three people who were not very willing to go to Qizhou for the simple reason that Zhou Huaide and Zhao Ziyan were in Qizhou.

The reason why Gaoxingzhou was called King of Qi was because he occupied Qizhou together. As the only son of King Qi, Gao Huaide could naturally inherit this position.Since Zhao Ziyan married Gao Huaide, there was no news about the two of them, but after Zhao Ziyan learned that Zong Xin was not dead, he hated Zhao Clan deeply.

But now almost the whole world believes that Zong Xin is dead, which makes Zhao Ziyan feel a little better, at least he is not a widow.

The reason why Yaoyao, Bai Yu, and Ning An are unhappy is because Zhao Ziyan and Zong Xin had a marriage contract, and now Zong Xin even wants a second-hand Ayumi, why can't he take Zhao Ziyan away?
Except for Zong Xin and Bu Mei, the three women were a little worried. They were really afraid that Zong Xin would take Zhao Ziyan away after he went to Qizhou, and they really didn't know how to live.

Worrying is unnecessary. Anyway, their goal is Qizhou. After arriving in Qizhou, they will go south by boat. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can waste a lot of time. After all, Chai Rong's attack on Shouzhou is not something that can be fought in a short while. , so they want to waste a little more time and enjoy the scenery along the way.

………………

955 September

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, 20 troops were sent to Xuzhou. In mid-September, the water level dropped, and 20 soldiers crossed the Huaihe River and marched into Shouzhou.

The water level has just begun to decrease. It stands to reason that the Southern Tang Navy still has high mobility at this time, but if the navy is launched at this time and waits until the Huaihe River, the water level will be even lower.The fleet is likely to be stranded in the Huaihe River, so the navy at this time can no longer be launched.

At the end of September, 20 troops besieged the city of Shouzhou. The city gates of Shouzhou were not opened. The guard Liu Renshan didn't care about the suffering of the siege.

"Let's go... Is this really Shouzhou? It's too fucking scary." Zhao Kuangyin endured living in front of Chai Rong and cursed a few curse words after seeing Shouzhou at this time.

Not to mention that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to scold people, even Chai Rong wanted to swear, is this still Shouzhou?It is simply a future fortress.

Outside the city wall of Shouzhou, there seems to be a large pile of spikes. Everywhere above the crenel of the city wall, there is a seemingly large crossbow, and the mouth of the crossbow is consistent with the outside.There is a large catapult every few meters, and the boulder has been loaded.

There was no need to fight, even if 20 people rushed over at the same time, tens of thousands would have to die before reaching the city wall.Once under the city wall, there are still many traps waiting... Can such a city be captured?Who built Shouzhou like this?

"It's really powerful. What's going on? I haven't seen Shouzhou's defense power increase to this level in a few months."

Although Chai Rong was frightened in his heart, his temperament as an emperor remained unmoved. If even he was frightened, what would the soldiers do?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, as far as I know, Prince Li Hongji of the Southern Tang Dynasty went to Khitan as an envoy, arrived in Pingzhou by sea, bypassed Cangzhou and went straight to the Wang Clan, and invited excellent technicians from the Wang Clan to return to Shouzhou to build defenses." Fan Zhi said: " I originally thought this was just hearsay, after all, Li Hongji is a well-known idiot in the world, how could he do such a difficult thing? Maybe there is something hidden in it, so it's not certain."

"Whether there is a hidden secret is still unknown, but Shouzhou's defense has indeed improved, and this situation is even more terrifying than Cangzhou." Chai Rong said: "For the time being, we are not in a hurry to attack the city, and we will focus on besieging the city first. I didn't expect to break through Shouzhou Don't make unnecessary sacrifices before defending."

Chai Rong also leads troops to fight all the year round. Although he has always been by Guo Wei's side, he has seen it before, but he has never seen such a solid defense as Shouzhou.The defense here is far more terrifying than Tongguan. It took Guo Wei several years to attack Tongguan. This time he attacked Shouzhou, and Guo Wei had already died. Chai Rong really didn't know how many years it would take him to break through such a solid defense of Shouzhou.

In fact, it is best to besiege the city in this situation, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty only have a few months to the east of the Huaihe River. When the spring rains come, they must withdraw their troops.Not only was the Southern Tang navy able to dispatch after the river’s tide rose, but during spring plowing, the soldiers cared about the fertile land at home, and didn’t have much thought about fighting.

If there is a chance to break through Shouzhou, Chai Rong can use money to support the soldiers to continue fighting, so that the soldiers have money to buy food to maintain their family's livelihood, so that they don't need to go home to farm.Even after the military salary was paid, the militia was mobilized to help the soldiers' families cultivate, so that the soldiers had enough confidence to continue fighting. Even if they failed to go back, the family members would not starve to death.

But Chai Rong really didn't know what to do. Under such circumstances, it was useless to surround Shouzhou with death. Such a strong defense could never be easily breached.

Before Shouzhou is strengthened, it may be possible to take it by force based on the number of people. Although it will pay an extremely heavy price, at least there is a chance to break through Shouzhou.

But at this time, even if 20 people attack the city at the same time, it is impossible to win. At this time, Shouzhou's defense is no longer breakable by mortals. Unless there is the help of immortals, Shouzhou is an absolutely safe fortress.

"It would be great if Master Zongxin or our Third Highness were here, they will definitely think of a way to break the city." Li Chongjin said: "Master Zongxin may be dead, but our Third Highness is alive and well, and he doesn't want to help everyone. help."

Others would be severely punished by Chai Rong if they said this, even if it was not a capital crime, but Li Chongjin had the qualification and right to say this.

Now Guo Wei has only two blood relatives, the first is his son Guo Xin, and the second is his nephew Li Chongjin.Although Li Chongjin was not the emperor, he was a blood relative of the first emperor, and even Chai Rong couldn't do anything about him.

As Guo Xin's cousin, Li Chongjin certainly has the right to complain.Although Li Chongjin is also Chai Rong's cousin in terms of seniority, it is impossible for Chai Rong to blame him even if he is the emperor.It's just...Li Chongjin is very dissatisfied with Chai Rong. If Chai Rong hadn't offended Zong Xin for casting copper coins and destroying all Buddha statues in the world, he might have succeeded in attacking Shouzhou for the first time. As long as Zong Xin made a little mention yes.

Zong Xin has helped the Guo family so many times, and this time is not bad, not to mention that Guo Xin is still Zong Xin's apprentice, Zong Xin originally protects the weak, of course he wants to protect Da Zhou.

In Li Zhongjin's eyes, Chai Rong is a mediocre person who only cares about immediate interests and does not care about future sustainable development.

Chai Rong just glanced back, and then said: "Prince Wang, do you have a way to break the city?"

Wang Bo pouted and shook his head, how could such a fortress be attacked by force?Unless there is a more powerful catapult on Da Zhou's side and directly breaks the city wall, rushing over will be a dead end.

But the opponent is the craft of the king, and it is built on the city wall, so the height is a great advantage.As long as the catapult is started, countless boulders will fall.One hit can kill a lot of people. If the boulder is a little more rounded and can roll for a certain distance, one shot can kill corpses all over the field.

In this case, even if there are catapults of the same quality, it will not work, because the height of the opponent is higher than that of this side, and the range will be longer.Therefore, before the catapult is placed at the destination, more than half of it will be smashed by the falling rocks, and this is just an attack by them.
