"Push."

Although the Qi army above the city gate attacked suddenly, the arrows still shot many people under the fierce attack.

Amidst the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, the soldiers who were shot let out a scream.Some people were slightly injured, gritted their teeth and continued to rush towards the city.Some soldiers were seriously injured and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Jin Tai also gritted his teeth.

Seeing that they were about to attack the city, they did not expect that the Qi army above the city gate would launch a counterattack at this time.

After a round of attack, the offensive was frustrated.

"Fire oil can, throw it to me!"

Di Lei gave an order, and piles of fire oil cans were quickly thrown down.

The soldiers below who were still struggling to climb up screamed again and again when the kerosene tank burned, and the sky-high flames ignited the ladder.Many soldiers died tragically under the arrow rain of the Qi army in order to protect the ladder.

Siege warfare is a test for any army.Test the experience of fighting, test the quality of an army, and test courage.

The elite soldiers that Jin Tai led today were not the remnants of the past, but Yuan Xi's original team, the strong and strong men who followed Yuan Xi all the way south from Daijun.They were far superior to ordinary soldiers in terms of experience and courage, so it was a pity that they died under the city wall like this.

"Brothers, charge to my death, charge up, once the city is broken, the general will definitely treat us badly. If we retreat, the army will be defeated." Jin Tai roared, and he was the first to quickly climb up the ladder to boost morale.

Encouraged by him, all the soldiers rushed like they had taken stimulants, and rushed towards Fan Yangcheng with a more aggressive momentum.

Under the attack of rounds of arrows, none of the soldiers flinched, and continued to charge with the ladder on their shoulders.

Bows and arrows are medium and long-distance weapons, and they are top-notch in terms of shooting.But when defending the city, after the enemy climbs up the city wall, the effect is far inferior to rolling stones, logs, rolling oil, etc. to defend the city and consolidate it.

Throwing stones and logs down one by one, as long as they can hit anyone, their brains will burst and blood will fly.Once the hot oil is poured down, countless soldiers will fall to the ground and howl, no matter how brave you are, facing such a scene is extremely shocking.

Even though some powerful and courageous soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall, what awaited them was all kinds of bed crossbows and continuous crossbows that had been set up long ago.Jintai could only watch helplessly as one soldier after another was shot and fell off the city wall.

"My lord, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and our losses are too great. Why don't we temporarily stop the siege? If this continues, I'm afraid, the entire army will be wiped out!" The soldier's face Full of fear.

Not only him, but also the faces of other soldiers around him were full of panic.Everyone looked at a loss, knowing that there was a dead end in front of them. If they attacked by force, they would die. If they did not attack by force, there might be a way to survive.

"Fan Yang is right in front of us. If we don't attack by force, we won't be able to regain Youzhou. Attack me." Jin Tai pushed away the soldiers around him, pulled out the sword from his waist, and roared loudly.

Seeing that Jintai's opinion was so firm, all the soldiers knew that they couldn't change it, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to charge towards the city.

The two sides continued to see-saw, and a large number of soldiers were killed every minute.Although Yuan Xi felt distressed seeing it, he did not stop such fearless casualties like Jin Tai.

Siege in daylight is not only a strong attack, but also an illusion.By sieging the city, the Qi army in the city was paralyzed, while he secretly kept Chen Cang and broke the city in one fell swoop.

If this is missing, they will definitely be on guard, and the chance of success will be reduced.

In order to be safe, the scenes must be fully played.

As dusk approached, Yuan Jun lost some corpses again, but reluctantly announced that the siege had failed, and the brigade quickly retreated.

Outside Fanyang City, corpses littered the field and blood flowed into rivers. Vultures and crows were circling in the air, waiting for the right time to come down and have a feast.

In order to prevent a large-scale plague, Li Ji quickly sent soldiers out of the city to restrain his own soldiers, and sent all the soldiers of the Yuan army who died in battle back to them, so as to hit the morale of the Yuan army.

On this day, it got dark very early, and it seemed that God couldn't bear to face such a tragic situation.

But both Yuan Jun and Qi Jun knew from the bottom of their hearts that the dark night was not the end of the battle, but the beginning of another battle.

A battle with the night as the stage is about to start in Fanyang City.

Chapter 576

The night is dark and everything is lonely.

For Yuan Jun who was besieging the city, the dark night was an excellent reference for hiding. He only needed to hide in the darkness. No matter how many torches the soldiers of the Qi army above the city gate lit, they could not be found.

The defense of the Qi army tonight was obviously a lot more relaxed than before. I don't know if it was because of the victory during the day, or because of Qin Qiong's departure, or because the other generals were negligent in their management.

Outside the city gate tower, there were only four to five hundred guards on the city wall that stretched for four or five miles. They were sparsely populated, and there was only one soldier standing with a gun in twenty or thirty steps.And he didn't stare at the patrol, but rested his arms on the wall and took a nap, so he wasn't afraid of accidentally falling off the city wall.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and watch me!"

"Who?" A soldier opened his eyes in horror, and the centurion who was directly under them appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help being startled.

"As long as the mother knows how to sleep, don't open your eyes wide to see if there are enemies below!"

There was a sudden commotion on the city wall, and the guarding Qi army cheered up, raised the torch in their hands high, and looked down the city wall.

It's a pity that the bottom of the city gate is pitch black, and there is nothing to see at all.

"Cheer up, you must guard against Yuan Jun's night attack." The centurion yelled, and walked straight to the other side.

In the study, Li Ji was looking at the map with a look of worry on his face.

Although it has been known that what Jintai and the others are planning is only a few days ago, it is often the unknown danger that makes people feel more confident.

Just as Li Ji was thinking, Xie Yingdeng and Di Lei walked in quickly and bowed to salute.

"General, the Shadow Guards have just received news that there will be actions in the city tonight, so we must prepare in advance."

"Is the news reliable?" The depression in Li Ji's heart dissipated all at once, and his whole complexion seemed much more comfortable.

"It seems to be a message from a fishmonger. This fishmonger was originally a spy arranged by Fang Xuanling in Fanyang City. According to his confession, someone came to him during this period and asked him to prepare for an incident. And tonight, in the city Many places were set on fire, causing panic among the people!"

"Just relying on these few people to set fire to cause commotion and want to destroy the city? Fang Xuanling is not a fool, I don't think he came up with such a plan!" Although Li Ji had never fought against Fang Xuanling, But this strategy doesn't seem very clever, if it came from Fang Xuanling's hands, it really doesn't make sense.

Xie Yingdeng also nodded and said: "I also feel that this matter seems a bit simple. Although according to the fishmonger's confession, they still have accomplices, but they are only four or five people. With such a small number of people, they want to break the city. It's just a fool's dream."

Behind the mystery is another mystery.

Li Ji couldn't help being a little irritable. He stood up and walked around the house a few times and said, "No matter what, since they have already planned to act, we will proceed according to the original plan, and all important military supplies will be quickly loaded."

Xie Di and the two took orders and left.

Outside the city gate, you can't see your fingers.In the absence of torch lighting, everything can only be groped slowly by hand.

A group of soldiers was moving forward quickly, and soon they came to the bottom of the city.

During daytime fighting, many places in the moat were filled.The Yuan Jun soldiers who came to attack quickly passed the moat and came under the city.

These people did not speak, but gathered together, gestured with their hands, and after a while, they started digging with the tools they carried with them.

That's right, when Fang Xuanling was captured by Yuan Xi and most of Youzhou fell into the hands of the Xianbei barbarians, he also knew that it would be difficult for Youzhou to survive in Yuan Xi's hands, so in desperation, he came up with two strategies.

One is to dig tunnels near some important cities and passes for counterattack.

The other is to arrange spies in all the cities, and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the outside and take the city together.
