Chapter 765

Disorderly footsteps sounded in the street.

"Are there any quilts?"

"Who has a quilt?"

Hearing the shouting outside the door, the little girl holding a broom and sitting on a small wooden stool immediately turned around.

"Mother, mother, take the quilt." She cried.

In the house, a woman ran out with a quilt in her arms. The little girl opened the door. In the alley, many people ran to the street with a quilt in their arms. There were wooden carts on the street, on which a lot of bedding had been stacked.

These bedding vary from new to old. They soon piled up a thick pile. Looking at the pile full of cart pullers, they immediately ran to the wall.

Compared with the silence on the street, there were crowds near the city wall. As soon as the bedding car arrived, the waiting people unloaded their backs and pedaled up to the city wall.

Cotton quilts were hung on the city wall. From a distance, the whole city wall on all sides was covered. With the cotton quilt hanging, the women who had been waiting poured the water in the bucket.

The people went back and forth in this order. Around them, there were people carrying stones and rolling logs, shouting loudly up and down, noisy, but orderly and busy.

The sudden scream came from the outside. People only felt the dull impact sound from above. It was the sound of stone bullets hitting the city wall, because the protection of wet bedding could reduce the damage to the city wall, but it could not stop the stones from rolling over the city wall.

"Get down, get down."

"Against the wall against the wall."

Panic shouts sounded disorderly. Rao was so. Someone was hit by a stone and screamed bitterly. There was panic under the city gate, but someone ran to lift the injured people and ran to the inner street.

The houses facing the street are empty. Old doctor Feng and others are here to command the injured to be carried in and start treatment.

The stones are no longer falling, and the wounded under the gate have been resettled, but the scattered stones and blood on the ground still make people feel heavy.

"The golden man's stone bullets can be thrown in. Have those trenches been filled up?"

The people leaning against the wall whispered.

"Never expected the trench to stop the golden soldiers."

The generals standing on the city wall looked at the outside of the city with a solemn look. As far as they could see, stone catapults were slowly approaching here under the cover of shield vehicles.

"For Jinren, the speed of filling the ditch is slow enough." A general said, "it seems that they are not in a hurry to attack the city."

The golden soldiers of the approaching city gate are in a neat queue with clear armor, but they are not many, and their expression is not ferocious, but with a bit of banter.

"The city of the capital is indeed high and thick, different from others."

Standing in the middle of the military array, Yu Chi Hai twisted his beard under a big flag and looked at the city ahead with a relaxed look.

"The last time I came, I looked at it carefully."

He said, pacing forward a few steps.

"Thousands of miles of clouds, overlooking the Big Dipper, exquisite and brilliant buildings, troops and hidden roads."

What a good poem.

But there was no sound of admiration around. Yu Chihai looked back. These crude Jin generals either looked greedily at the city ahead and thought of the precious beauty in it, or looked at him at a loss. It seemed that they just didn't understand why they didn't attack.

Barbarians are boring.

Yu Chi Hai is a little depressed.

"No matter how high and thick the city is, our warriors will be able to conquer it." A gold general said eagerly, "all the cities we met along the way are stronger than those in the north, but what about them."

"Those soldiers will be vulnerable." Another Kim will laugh on his hips.

Yu Chi Hai looked ahead with a smile.

"Yes, so such a strong city can be ignored." He said, "what we want to attack is not the gate, but the hearts of the people inside."

He said and stepped forward again.

"Break their courage, destroy their spirit, break their knees, and let them bow before us."

This is much more pleasant than the messy poems and words just now, and the gold generals around them burst into laughter.

"But." Yu Chi Hai frowned again. "This capital is somewhat different from what I imagined."

"How is it different?" Asked the generals around him.

Yu Chihai looked at the dense trenches in front and the potholes in the ground further away. It was obviously newly dug out. The original gate of the capital was repaired and flat.

It can be seen that it must have taken a lot of manpower to dig so many and deep trenches in a short time.

It is necessary to defend the city with trenches to resist horses. To do so must be to know that the golden soldiers are coming. But when we know that the golden soldiers are coming, we can organize so much human and material resources to do this. It can be seen that the people in the city have not yet dispersed in panic.

Moreover, the villages and towns near the capital just passed by were also empty, and there were no scattered and flustered people on the way.

"It seems that the people here in the capital are much more calm than before." Yu Chi Hai said with a smile, with some admiration, "it is worthy of being the people at the foot of the son of heaven."

After saying that, the smile in his eyes became cold and raised his hand.

"Shangren shield."

"We can also throw stones."

A general on the city wall who looked at the golden soldiers outside the city gate through the crenels whispered.

"No, come closer, or throwing stones will be wasted." Said another general

Throwing stones is mainly used to attack the city. If you fight back, it is aimed at the shield car. At this time, the shield car of Jinbing is also protected layer by layer. If you want to hit the target, you need them to get closer.

Although they were nervous, they were not afraid, probably because the gunboat of the green mountain army in the middle could be seen from the corner of their eyes.

This is a more powerful weapon than throwing stones. Of course, the Castle Peak army said that it is not necessary now. It will not be used until the Golden Army approaches the city. When it is thrown out, it can kill one piece, which will make the best use of it and be the most deterrent.

At present, it is enough to use stone bullets far away and then bow and crossbow near.

The generals were a little nervous and inexplicably excited. They waited for the shield car to come closer and drive slowly on the bumpy road, and gave the order to throw stones. However, the shield car suddenly stopped, and the gold army behind them made a commotion, and then drove out a group of people.

Seeing these people, the generals on the city wall couldn't help staring at them and turned blue.

This is a group of people from Zhou Dynasty, ranging from old to young men and women. They look embarrassed and cry under the whip of the golden soldier.

"Open the gate, people inside."

More than a dozen golden soldiers galloped forward and shouted in Zhou language.

"If you open the gate, you can save your life."

They shouted again and again, and then rode around the driven Zhou people.

These golden soldiers had reached the range where the crossbow could shoot, but there was no order to shoot on the city wall. Everyone looked at the people who were driven closer and closer with a complex look.

Behind these people, the shield car and the golden soldiers who attacked the city moved again.

"My Lord." A deputy general couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

What can happen at this time? Order stone throwing? Then it is obvious that these Zhou people were hurt first.

"This damn shameless golden man." Some generals beat down the wall.

But if you don't throw stones, the long ladder of those golden shield vehicles attacking the city will come under the gate.

More than a dozen golden soldiers rode closer again and deliberately shot at the city wall with bows and crossbows, full of provocations.

At this time, if you stand up and use a bow and crossbow, you can definitely kill several golden soldiers.

Some soldiers couldn't help moving.

"Don't move without orders." A dull voice came from behind.

The soldier immediately froze and dared not move at all. From the corner of his eye, he saw an old woman standing behind him.

The old woman looked at him for a moment, continued to patrol along the city wall, and turned a deaf ear to the cries and curses from under the city gate.

Zhou Min was driven closer and closer, and the shield car drove slowly on the bumpy road, but also closer and closer.

"Vote."

Suddenly a call came from the wall of the city.

The stone thrower, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately threw out the stone bullet.

For a time, the stone flew under the gate like rain.

Under the city gate, there was the crash of shield cars and the scream and curse of golden soldiers, mixed with the panic cry of Zhou people.

Standing in the distance, Jin will see this scene and look angry.

I didn't expect that Zhou people should be like this. Seeing that their people were driven and whipped, they didn't stand up immediately in anger. Instead, they could wait for the opportunity and attack regardless of Zhou people.

His face was livid and he ordered the golden soldiers of the forward shield car to return, waving his hand fiercely.

With this wave of hands, the golden cavalry scattered due to the stone bullet attack immediately gathered again and surrounded the crying Zhou people with knives and spears.

Listening to the cries and screams of the people outside, all the people on the wall were iron green, the soldiers were still self-control, and the civilian men trembled uncontrollably.

Nevertheless, no one jumped up, not even loudly scolded.

This is because the Castle Peak army has repeatedly reiterated that when fighting, they must not turn back, move without permission, or see the noise of the enemy, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.

At this time, several old and weak women and children were patrolling the city wall and staring at them.

The cries outside the city gradually disappeared and returned to peace.

It is conceivable that those people have been killed.

There was still silence on the city wall, and there was no commotion at all. This silent response made the golden soldiers outside the city more angry.

"If you don't surrender, this will be the end when the city is broken."

Outside the city came the shouts and curses of Jin Bing.

The people on the city wall didn't really have no response. They were angry and disappointed. More civilian men thought if they had run out of the capital, would they be the one who was slaughtered under the gate at this time.

Jin people are more brutal and the war is more bloody and ruthless. At this moment, they are no longer listening to a few words in restaurants and tea houses, nor watching the refugees escape and suffer, but they really feel it.

Just then, a drum sounded.

For the meaning of drums and gongs, soldiers and civilians have been familiar with it, almost subconsciously.

The soldiers lifted their covers and fired at the golden soldiers' bows and crossbows under the city gate. The civilian men rolled large and small stones to the stone catapult one by one.

For a moment, there was a scream outside the city gate.

The golden cavalry still under the city gate fell off one after another and retreated, but the shield car still within the range of stone bullet projection was also smashed, and the approaching golden cavalry queue began to retreat rapidly.

Standing in the distance and watching all this, the Sea God Yu Chi was in a deep mood. At this time, the golden soldiers who went to attack other city gates also came such a description of the war.

"Doesn't it mean that there aren't many officers and soldiers in the capital? They are just soldiers and servants who guard the gate and haven't killed anyone." He said with a slight frown, "how could there be such strict preparations? It is clearly a well-trained war army."
