The siege tower was burned down, which was a huge blow to the enemy.
Members of the military observation group saw that Tsar Andrei, who was supervising the battle in the distance, looked very depressed, and the golden staff in his hand dropped.
However, he was unwilling to fail, and suddenly and nervously raised his golden staff, roaring at the top of his lungs, and ordered the siege troops to continue their fierce attack.
Tens of thousands of people carried ladders across the moat and roared towards the city wall.
At the same time, the catapults on both sides threw stone projectiles and arrows flew back and forth, almost blocking out the sky and the sun. The scene was thrilling.
"The enemy is about to rush to the city," Marshal Yang Ting drew his sword and shouted, "How can we just sit back and watch, let's kill them today!"
"Very good, anyone who offends China will definitely die, so let me help Zhang Shoufu!" Marshal Zhu Hao laughed and drew his sword to fight.
The generals also had their blood flowing and drew their swords one after another.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi was very moved. In front of the foreign enemy, everyone showed heroic spirit and shared the same hatred of the enemy.
"Thank you for your help!" Zhang Yi nodded with a smile and said, "It's just that before we can fight hand to hand, there are traps dug under the city..."
After saying that, Zhang Yi turned to look at Xiaolong, and the two brothers raised their heads and laughed.
Xiaolong is a master of city defense. He built two trenches when he was in Mopan City to resist the enemy. Of course, Chang'an City is dozens of times larger than Mopan City, so it is impossible to dig a circle of trenches in a short time, but in Peking University where the enemy is focused on attacking
Outside the door, we still put in a lot of effort.
Two feet away from the city wall, a trench several miles long was dug, covered with thin wooden boards and covered with a layer of soil, making it look like peaceful ground.
The enemy thought there was only one moat, so they threw all the sandbags they had prepared into it, thinking they could reach the city wall directly.
After the siege tower was pushed across the moat, it was set on fire five feet away, so the enemy had not yet discovered this hidden trench.
Amidst the deafening "hurrah" sound, the enemy rushed over with shields and ladders. Then, with a loud "hurrah" sound, the soldiers rushing in front fell into a trench one foot deep.
There were shrill screams, and countless people fell on sharp wooden stakes and were penetrated.
The people behind could not stand at all and filed in one after another. In the blink of an eye, the trench was about to be filled by the enemy. Only then did the large team stop, looking confused and bewildered.
There was also a large amount of grease, dead wood, rags and other flammable materials poured into the trench.
Zhang Yi picked up a Molotov cocktail, lit the ignition cloth on the torch, then leaned out from the top of the city and threw it accurately into the ditch.
Immediately, the soldiers defending the city threw thousands of Molotov cocktails.
In an instant, a fiery snake flew in both directions, standing between the city wall and the enemy.
The scorching flames burned blazingly, forming a spectacular barrier of fire.
The city erupted in cheers.
Thousands of enemies were burned alive, billowing black smoke erupted, and the enemy troops retreated, turned around and fled, making unpleasant sounds like wolves crying and ghosts howling.
"If you dare to attack us, this is what will happen, hahaha!" Princess Xiaoliu clapped her hands and laughed. She was so excited that her hatred for the enemy overwhelmed everything else. She didn't care at all about the blood and cruelty of the battlefield.
While the members of the military observation group were happy, there were bursts of chills in their hearts. They were glad that they did not come to attack Chang'an City.
That's obviously looking for death.
Vice Premier Sun took off his glasses and wiped them with a piece of cloth. He was sweating on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the heat wave or because of panic.
"Two marshals and generals, thank you for your hard work," Zhang Yi said politely. Although they did not fight the enemy, Zhang Yi was grateful for the courage they showed. "The battle is over for today. I think the enemy will calm down." For a while, please come to the palace and have a drink together."
"Hahaha!"
"Okay, okay!"
"We are also going to drink the wedding wine of Zhang Shoufu and Princess Xiaoliu!"
The generals laughed and said that seeing the enemy's defeat made these battle-hardened soldiers so excited that they really needed a drink to satisfy themselves.
…
A grand banquet was held in the palace, which was considered luxurious.
But when the enemy is besieging the city, this is a proof of strength, which is amazing.
The guests and hosts raised their glasses and drank with great pride.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu sat at the top, with the two generals on their left and right. The rest were seated according to their positions, followed by Zhang Yi's five brothers.
You can have a rest today.
The generals drank together, Niu ran, Shi Gandang and Wang Zheng became the main drinkers of our side, especially Shi Gandang, there was no difference between drinking and drinking water.
Zhang Yi ignored them and toasted to the two commanders with small glasses.
"Generals gathered together today, the stars in Chang'an City are shining brightly," Xiao Liu said with a smile, "The people here are all well-known figures in the Chinese military community. Such a lineup is really rare!"
Indeed, it is true that the pillars of the military circles of the Three Kingdoms are gathered together. They were all opponents before, but now they are sitting together drinking. This is something that is unimaginable.
"China is in trouble. We should put aside our old grudges and fight the enemy wholeheartedly." Marshal Zhu Hao said boldly as he drank from his glass.
"What Zhu Shuai said is absolutely true," Marshal Yang Ting said with emotion. "China is surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides. If we wait for a ball of loose sand, we will attract powerful enemies to defeat them one by one, and the future will be worrying. Let's not talk about anything else. There are powerful enemies in the north. Tsar, there are Japanese pirates in the east, and these two countries have been enemies of China since ancient times."
Everyone nodded one after another, so they all looked forward to the reunification of China, but everyone wanted to let their country complete the great cause of reunification.
"The Japanese pirates are a minor problem, but they are not worth mentioning. We are more than capable of dealing with that small country." Vice Premier Sun interjected.
In fact, no one wants to talk to him, but he is used to fighting for the right to speak.
Chen Yiyi frowned when he heard this. Politicians always speak unrealistically and say that Japanese pirates are a minor problem. This is really telling lies.
Zhang Yi saw something, but it was not convenient to say more at the banquet.
Just listen to Vice Premier Sun continue to say: "Right now, it seems that the Tsarist Empire is the biggest threat to China. Although we have defeated the enemy today, but we are blindly defensive, when will this battle end? In my opinion, we still need to send troops to help. , so that the Tsar can be driven back to his hometown.”
here we go again.
Zhang Yi has already given a clear answer, but Vice Premier Sun has not given up. He believes that if we do not send troops, Greater China will not benefit.
Xiao Liu stared at him angrily and looked at her husband, hoping that her husband would scold him.
After all, he is the Vice Prime Minister of Greater China. How can Zhang Yi rebuke him at will? He knew what his beloved wife was thinking, but he smiled and said a few words that surprised everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone, this war will not last long. The battle of Chang'an does not require your troops to help, but in the near future, I want to completely conquer this barbaric empire and avoid future troubles. At that time, I hope you will send troops to help! "
ah?
Everyone in the house was shocked.
Everyone present was stunned. They all froze there and looked at Zhang Yi in surprise. They couldn't believe that he had such ambitions!
