"Get ready to fight."
Guy saw a large number of slaves from the Western Qin Army rushing toward the city wall.
This time was obviously different from before.
These slaves formed groups.
This was not something the slaves could do on their own.
The previous sieges , the slaves were all in a mess, either rushing over in a swarm, or fighting on their own.
This time the slaves obviously seemed to have been organized.
As an elder who has been engaged in organizing the congregation to participate in various educational activities, Guy certainly understood Organized collective action should never be taken lightly.
Under Guy's shout, the garrison soldiers began to concentrate on preparing to meet the attack of the slaves.
The boiling water on the city wall was already boiling hot, and the soldiers' arrows were fully drawn on their bows.
At this time, the Christian Bishop Perici and several priests angrily climbed onto the city wall and shouted: "Guy, Guy, damn Guy, where are you?"
Guy turned his head and saw that it was Perici.
He couldn't help but frown.
He walked towards Guy and said with great dissatisfaction: "Perici, if you don't comfort the residents in the city, why are you coming to the city wall to cause trouble?"
Peric looked annoyed and waved his hands impatiently: "Don't worry about what I am here for now.
Let me ask you.
I heard that the King of Western Qin asked you to go out to meet to discuss surrender.
Why did you refuse?
Do you know?
Doing so will kill us all, and this fight is now Now, we have lost most of our original troops, and now the replacements are just ordinary people who have never held weapons.
There is no fighting power left.
Jerusalem is already an isolated city, and the surrounding area has been captured by the Western Qin.
We have to If any reinforcements are received, the Western Qin people can They don’t care where this is.
This is not their holy city.
They don’t care about churches, mosques, or churches.
If you piss them off, they will raze this place to the ground.
Do you really think they are incapable of breaking this place?
A city?
Stop dreaming, the people of Western Qin have been maintaining They restrained themselves and only used slaves to attack.
They did not use their elite troops, nor did they let the trebuchets be launched deep into the city.
Even a person like me who does not understand military affairs can see that the King of Western Qin has left us room.
You are so Doing it is shameless, do you understand?”
Guy's face turned ugly, "Peric, we have agreed a long time ago that you will be responsible for the civil affairs, and Murisardin and I will be responsible for the military affairs.
We should not meddle in things that we should not take care of.
You came to the city wall to ask questions, right?
It’s a bit overstepping one’s authority.”
Peric said angrily: "Guy, this matter is not just a military matter, but is related to the life and death of the entire Jerusalem and hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
Do you think you alone can decide their future?
Go ahead."
Ask them if they are willing to die here with you."
"Mr.
Bishop Peric, our three religions have long agreed to advance and retreat together to defend this Holy City.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, if they want to take the Holy City away from us, we must ask questions.
Ask us about the swords in our hands.
If you don't agree, are you going to regret it now?

Are you scared?
You coward?"
After hearing Guy's words, Peric's momentum weakened, and he sighed: "Guy, I know that you are a strong-willed person and a person who does not give up easily, but the current situation is different from the original one.
There is no involvement or relationship with our three religions.
The methods we used to deal with Nicerus did not work against the Western Qin people.
Nicerus was frightened by the pressure of the Holy See and did not attack Jerusalem by force. , but the King of Western Qin will not give the Holy See face a completely hopeless war.
Do you really think it is necessary to continue fighting?
I hope you are more sensible.
We can surrender.
As long as everything in the Holy City can be preserved, as long as Western Qin People do not harm the residents of the city, as long as they do not destroy the buildings in the city, what does it matter if we surrender?
Do you really want to go to hell with this city?"
With a livid face, Guy yelled to the soldiers next to him: "The war is urgent.
Lord Perici is too dangerous on the city wall.
Someone, please take Lord Perici back to the church.
He wants to pray for all of us.
Pray to the Lord."
Bless us to defeat the Western Qin people and protect our homeland."
"Yes, sir."
Several soldiers agreed, pushed aside the priests nearby, picked up Peric and walked towards the city wall.
Peric was kicking his hands and feet and shouting: "Guy, if you do this, you will kill everyone.
Guy is crazy, Guy is crazy."
Guy had no time to think about gains and losses.
The army of slaves had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and siege ladders were set up on the walls of the city wall.
The slaves below kept climbing up the siege ladders, but the soldiers guarding the city above They kept pouring boiling water below to stop the slaves.
Some slaves were unable to escape and were so burned that they fell from the ladder and were seriously injured or died.
Other slaves had to put shields on their heads to block the boiling water.
After nearly a month of defending the city, the supplies and equipment the defenders can use to defend the city have been exhausted.
The kerosene, thunderwood, rolling stones, and arrows have almost been used up.
Now the defenders can only pour boiling water on the city. , but there was a time when the boiling water was finished.
When no more boiling water was poured on the city wall, the slaves under the city continued to climb the ladder under the orders of the captain of ten and centurion.
The defenders on the wall had to Stand ready.
In the distance, the Western Qin army's siege guardrail was slowly pushing towards the city wall.
The Western Qin archers on the guardrail kept shooting arrows at the city wall.
Those who were shot by the defenders were either dead or injured.
The close approach brought great harm and pressure to the defenders.
These archers provided great cover for the slaves who used ladders to attack the city.
Their bows and arrows even made the defenders dare not show their heads.
Zhao Ziliang observed with a telescope for a while and felt that the siege was effective, especially since the defenders had exhausted their arrows and could not use bows and arrows to counter-suppress the Western Qin archers on the well fence.
Played a big role in the attack.
Zhao Ziliang ordered Han Shusen: "Order the Jinglan siege team not to approach the city wall for the time being.
First, use bows and arrows to provide long-range cover for the slaves using ladders to attack the city.
After enough slaves climb the city wall to engage in melee with the defenders, Approach and evacuate the archers, use manholes to transport slaves to the city and fight.
In addition, order the trebuchets to fire stone projectiles non-stop.
The middle section of the wall will not last long."
"yes" The battle lasted for a whole day and did not stop until dark.

Zhao Ziliang ordered the troops to withdraw and returned to the camp.
After counting, it was found that the casualties in the battle during the day exceeded 800 people, and there were less than 2,000 slaves left.
However, Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with the effect of today's siege.
This siege almost broke through the city wall defense.
If Guy hadn't transferred more residents from the city to help defend the city, they would not have been able to withstand it.
On the morning of April 15th, the siege continued.
This time, Zhao Ziliang invested all his slave forces and assigned half of Bai Gang's reserve team to Liang Chao and Gu Cheng to increase their strength.
The battle only lasted less than an hour before it reached a fever pitch.
Both sides had lost their temper and continued to invest their troops.
Since the defenders had exhausted their defense equipment, the slaves quickly climbed onto the city wall to engage in a melee with the defenders. city wall.
Just after morning, the trebuchet crew's two consecutive days of throwing stone bombs finally yielded results.
A nearly 20-meter-long outer wall in the middle section of the city wall was finally destroyed by a large number of stone bombs.
A large amount of masonry collapsed.
The defenders fell one after another, and many people were submerged under the bricks.
Among the slag and rubble, not only that, many stone bullets have accumulated under the city wall in the past two days.
These stone bullets were piled very high, and the collapsed masonry also submerged these stone bullets, but a bump was formed outside.
The slope is uneven, but this does not prevent the Western Qin Army from attacking from here.
Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately pointed at the collapse and shouted an order: "Send the order, let the trebuchet crew immediately launch a projectile on the inner wall, and strive to collapse the inner wall as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
In fact, the defense of a single wall is very weak.
The trebuchet crew only fired three rounds of stone bombs in a row, and the single wall on the inner wall collapsed.
In this way, all the walls at this location collapsed, and the masonry collapsed.
The descent formed slopes on both sides.
Bai Gang had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
His men and horses had been waiting here for two days.
He immediately pulled out his sword and pointed forward: "The time has come for us to use it.
Everyone, follow me and rush into the city through this gap." go" "Kill" Under the leadership of Bai Gang, the slaves roared and followed him towards the gap.
But at this time, a large number of defenders gathered behind the gap.
In the past two days, the Western Qin army continued to bombard this section of the city wall with stone bullets.
Guy and the others were not blind.
Of course they could see.
They could also guess the intention of the Western Qin King, but they But there is no good way to stop it.
It is no longer possible to rebuild this section of the city wall.
They can only gather heavy troops to block the back of this city wall.
As long as the city wall is broken down, they are ready to fight the Western Qin army.
The two sides fought fiercely at the gap in the city wall, and the bodies piled higher and higher.
Together we quickly ran over to Zhao Ziliang and reported: "Your Majesty, the defenders have gathered a large number of troops at the gap in the city wall.
General Bai Gang and his troops are blocked and cannot enter the city for the time being."
Zhao Ziliang frowned.
He did not expect that the will of the defenders would be so tenacious.
No wonder Guy was so confident.
He observed the city wall with a telescope for a while and found that the city wall was completely involved in a melee at this time.
Both sides were struggling to kill.
It's hard to tell, but there is no doubt that the slaves' fighting will is not as good as the defenders.
Zhao Ziliang put down his telescope and said to Chen Qing: "I won't play with them anymore.

He ordered the infantry formation to move forward, and prepared bows and arrows to estimate the distance to the gathering place of the defenders behind the gap.
Then he used bows and arrows to fire a large-scale volley, which also made these Western barbarians Let’s have a taste of the power of our Da Qin bow and crossbow.”
"Follow your orders" After the infantry formation advanced a certain distance and stopped, everyone took out their bows and arrows and aimed at the rear of the gap under the general's order.
"Bow the bow at a 45-degree angle and release the arrow" There was a loud "buzz" sound, the sound of all the bow strings being bounced back, and a large number of arrows were seen flying into the sky and converging behind the gap in the city wall before falling.
A large number of screams came from behind the gap.
After three consecutive rounds of arrows were fired, the defenders behind the gap in the city wall were empty.
There were densely packed corpses lying on the ground, stacked several layers, and the corpses were all covered with densely packed arrows.
The Gaokou garrison, which had lost its vital force, could not withstand the attack of the slaves led by Bai Gang and was killed one after another.
Bai Gang immediately led the slaves into the city.
When the slaves saw the corpses and countless corpses on the ground, they could not count them.
Qing's arrows were stunned.
The city was broken, and the defenders on the city wall seemed to have been drained of all their strength.
They no longer wanted to fight, and fled towards the city, where they still had their families to protect.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand forward: "The infantry are ordered to enter the city.
The cavalry and servants are not allowed to move without authorization.
The soldiers entering the city are not allowed to destroy the buildings in the city, rob the fire prevention, women, or kill unarmed people.
Anyone who disobeys the order is not allowed. cut" "Follow the decree":
