The sound of stray footsteps resounded in the streets.
"Do you still have a quilt?"
"Who still has a quilt?"
Hearing the shouts coming from outside the door, the little girl who was sitting on a small wooden bench in the courtyard with a broom in her hand immediately turned around.
"Mother, mother, put away the quilt."
She shouted.
A woman ran out of the house with a quilt, and the little girl opened the door, and there were already many people in the alley running down the street with quilts in their arms, and there were wooden carts on the street, on which a lot of bedding was piled up.
The bedding, both old and new, was soon piled up in a thick pile, and the people who saw the carts piled up immediately rushed to the city wall.
Compared to the quiet of the streets, there were many people near the city walls, and as soon as the futon carts arrived, there were people waiting to unload their backs and pedal up the city walls.
Quilts were draped over the walls, and from a distance the entire wall was covered on all sides, and as the quilts were laid, the women who had been waiting poured out the water from the buckets.
The people came and went in this order, and there were people carrying stones and rolling logs on their backs, shouting up and down noisy, but they were orderly, busy but not chaotic.
Suddenly a scream came from outside, and everyone only felt a dull crashing sound overhead, which was the sound of stone bullets hitting the city wall, because there was a wet bedding to cover it, which could reduce the damage to the city wall, but it could not prevent the stones from rolling down over the city wall.
"Get down, get down."
"Wall by wall."
Panicked shouts rang out in a chaotic manner, Rao was still like this, someone was hit by a stone, a terrible scream sounded, and there was a panic under the city gate, but someone still ran over and lifted the injured man and ran into the inner street.
The houses facing the street were all vacant, and Dr.
Feng and others were guarding here, directing the injured to be carried in and began to treat.
The stones no longer rolled down, and the wounded under the city gate were all placed, but the stones scattered on the ground and the blood stains still made people feel heavy.
"The golden man's stone bullets have been able to be thrown in, have those trenches been filled?"
The people leaning against the walls whispered.
"I never expected the trenches to hold back the golden soldiers."
The generals standing on the city wall looked at the outside of the city with solemn expressions at this time, and as far as the eye could see, the catapults were slowly approaching this side under the cover of the shield carts.
"For the Jin people, the speed of filling the ditch is slow enough."
"It seems that they are not in a hurry to attack the city," said one of the generals. ” The golden soldiers approaching the city gate were lined up in order, and the armor was distinct, but there were not many of them, and their expressions were not vicious, but with a bit of banter.
"The city of the capital is indeed high and thick, and it is different from other places."
Yu Chihai, who was standing in the middle of the military formation, said with a relaxed expression as he looked at the city in front of him.
"The last time I came, I took a closer look."
He said as he paced a few steps forward.
"Thousands of miles of clouds, overlooking such as the Beidou, exquisitely building brilliance, and hiding the soldiers in the dark."
It's really good poetry.
But there was no admiration around, Yu Chihai looked back, these rough Jin generals were either looking at the city in front of them greedily at this time, thinking about the treasures and beauties inside, or they looked at him a little blankly, as if they just didn't understand why they didn't attack yet.
Barbarian and boring.
Yu Chihai was a little excited.
"No matter how high this city is, our warriors will definitely be able to conquer it."
A golden general said eagerly, "None of the cities I have encountered along the way are stronger than those in the Northland, but so what. ” "Those soldiers will be vulnerable."
The other Kim will laugh loudly.
Yu Chihai looked ahead with a smile.
"yes, so such a strong city is negligible."
He said, "We will not attack the gates, but the hearts of the people inside." ” He said as he stepped forward again.
"Crush their courage, destroy their spirits, break their knees, and make them bow before us."
These words are much more pleasant than Shicai's messy poems and lyrics, and the golden generals around him laughed wildly.
"Still."
Yu Chihai frowned slightly, "This capital is a little different from what I imagined. ” "How is it different?"
asked the generals around him.
Yu Chihai looked at the dense trenches in front of him and the potholed ground further away, this was obviously newly dug, and the original gate of the capital was repaired very smoothly.

To be able to dig such a large number of deep trenches in a short period of time shows that a lot of manpower must have been used.
Ditch rejection of horses is necessary to defend the city, and it must be done because of the knowledge that the Jin soldiers are coming, but knowing that the Jin soldiers are coming, they can still organize such a large amount of manpower and material resources to do this, which shows that the people in the city have not yet panicked and dispersed.
Moreover, the villages and towns near the capital that Shicai passed through were also empty, and there were no people scattered and fleeing in a panic along the way.
"It seems that the people in the capital are much calmer than before."
Yu Chihai said with a smile, with a bit of admiration, "It is worthy of the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ” After saying that, the smile in his eyes became cold, and he raised his hand and waved.
"Venerable Shield."
"We can throw stones too."
On the city wall, looking at the golden soldiers outside the city gate through the battlements, a general whispered.
"No, get closer, or the stone will be wasted."
Another general said The stone throwing is mainly used for siege, and if you return fire, it is aimed at the shield car, and at this time, the shield car of the golden soldier is also protected layer by layer, and if you want to hit it in one hit, you need them to get closer.
When the two of them said this, although they looked nervous, they were not too afraid, probably because of the artillery cart of the Qingshan Army in the middle that could be seen in the corner of their eyes.
This is a more powerful weapon than throwing stones, of course, the Qingshan Army said, don't use it now, wait until the Jin Soldier army is approaching the city, and when the time comes, it can kill a piece, and it will be the most deterrent to the fullest.
At present, it is enough to use stone bullets and then bow and crossbow in front of you.
The generals were a little nervous and a little inexplicably excited, waiting for the arrival of the shield cart that was closer and driving slowly on the potholed road to give the order to throw stones, but suddenly the moving shield cart stopped, and the Jin army behind was in a commotion, and then drove out a group of people.
Seeing these people, the generals on the city wall couldn't help but widen their eyes and turn blue.
This is a group of Zhou people, old and young, men and women, all of them looking embarrassed and crying under the whip of the golden soldiers.
"Listen, those inside, and open the gates quickly."
More than a dozen Jin soldiers galloped forward and shouted loudly in Zhou.
"If you open the gates, you can save your life."
They shouted over and over again, and then turned around the Zhou people who were being driven.
These golden soldiers had reached the range of the crossbows, but there was no order to shoot on the city wall, and everyone looked at the people who were being driven closer and closer with complicated expressions.
Behind these people, the shield carts and the besieging soldiers moved again.
"Your Excellency."
A lieutenant general couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
At this time, how can you order a stone-throwing shooting, then it is obvious that it is these Zhou people who are injured first.
"This damn shameless golden man."
Some generals slammed down the city wall.
But if you don't throw stones, the long ladder of those golden soldiers' shield chariots to attack the city will reach the city gate.
More than a dozen golden soldiers rode closer again, and deliberately shot at the city wall with bows and crossbows, full of provocation.
At this time, if you stand up and use a bow and crossbow, you can definitely shoot a few golden soldiers.
Some soldiers couldn't help but move.
"Don't move without a command."
Mu Ran's voice came from behind him.
The soldier froze at once, not daring to move again, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old woman standing behind him.
The old woman looked at him for a moment, and continued her patrol along the rampart, deaf to the cries and shouts that came from under the gates.
Zhou Min was driven closer and closer, and the shield cart drove slowly but also closer and closer on the potholed road.
"Vote."
Suddenly, an order came from the city wall.
The slinger, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately threw the stone projectile.
For a while, stones flew like rain under the city gates.
Under the city gate, the shattered shield cart and the screams and curses of the golden soldiers sounded, mixed with the frightened cries of the Zhou people.
Jin Jiang, who was standing in the distance, was furious when he saw this scene.
I didn't expect the Zhou people to be like this, and when they saw their people being driven and whipped, they didn't stand up angrily, but they could still wait for the opportunity and attack Zhou Min without caring about them.
His face was pale, and he ordered the forward shield car Jin Bing to retreat, waving his hand fiercely.
With this wave of hands, the Jin cavalry, which had been scattered by the stone bullet attack, suddenly regrouped and surrounded the crying Zhou Min, slashing and stabbing with swords.

Listening to the cries and screams of the people outside, everyone on the city wall turned pale, the soldiers were still self-controlled, and the people trembled uncontrollably.
Despite this, not a single person jumped up, not even a loud scolding.
This is because the Qingshan Army has repeatedly reiterated that during the battle, it is not allowed to turn back, move without permission, and not see the enemy's noise, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.
And at this time, there were also a few old and weak women and children patrolling the city wall and staring at them.
The cries outside the city faded away and calmed down.
It is conceivable that those people have been killed.
There was still no commotion on the city walls, and this silent response made the golden soldiers outside the city even more annoyed.
"If you don't surrender, that's how it will end up after the city is broken."
Outside the city, there was the shouting and scolding of the golden soldiers.
The people on the city wall were not really unresponsive, they were angry and stunned, and more people thought that if they had run out of the capital, they would not have been the one who was slaughtered under the city gate at this time.
How brutal the Jin people are, how bloody and ruthless the war is, at this moment they are no longer listening to the preaching of a few words in the restaurant and tea shop, nor are they idly watching the homeless people flee and mourn, but they really feel it.
Just then, a drum sounded.
For the meaning of the drums and gongs, the soldiers and the people are already familiar with it, and they almost subconsciously move.
The soldiers lifted their covers and fired a volley of crossbows and crossbows at the golden soldiers under the city gates, and the people rolled stones of all sizes to the catapults one by one.
For a while, there was a scream outside the city gate.
The Jin cavalry that was still under the city gate fell off their horses one after another, and the shield carts that retreated but were still within the range of the stone projectile were also smashed, and the originally approaching Jin soldier queue began to retreat rapidly.
Yu Chihai, who was standing from a distance and watching all this, looked gloomy, and at this time, the Jin soldiers who went to attack at the other city gates also sent such a description of the battle situation.
"Doesn't it mean that there are not many officers and soldiers in this capital, and they are all soldiers and errands who guard the city gate and have never killed anyone."
He said, frowning slightly, "How can there be such a well-prepared battle, it is clearly a well-trained army." ”:
