Of course, the defenders in the city can also dig tunnels to counterattack, but digging tunnels does not necessarily require sneaking close to the city. If they want to destroy the city wall, they must first solve the moat. This move makes people feel that they are preparing for a long-term attack.
city.
After the siege was changed from four sides to three sides, the siege equipment in the army on each side of the city wall began to be concentrated. On the third day, Wang Junlin ordered to further concentrate the siege equipment. A large number of siege equipment was concentrated on one city wall, two hundred
If multiple ladders are erected on the same city wall at the same time, they will be enough to cover the city wall, and countless soldiers will attach themselves to it, which will largely offset the geographical advantages of the defenders.
Folding bridges, goose chariot holes, wooden oxen, ramming chariots, wooden curtains, dust chariots... and other siege equipment also began to be mobilized slowly, and were re-deployed and assembled according to their functions. Such a massive move by the Far Eastern Army immediately aroused
At the attention of the defenders in the city, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu stood on the watchtower more than ten feet high erected in the camp. With his abnormal vision, he could clearly see groups of soldiers and horses in the city coming and going like soldier ants.
, seemed to be making new arrangements in response to their reaction. However, people on the walls of Boling County could not see his people clearly.
"Li Jing is worthy of being a military god who has been passed down through the ages. He is worthy of being a figure in history who single-handedly destroyed the Turks and made Li Shimin extremely fearful. If Xiaoyu hadn't existed, the method he used to destroy the city would have exceeded ordinary people's imagination.
, this Boling County city is really difficult to break." Wang Junlin muttered to himself.
On the same day, the 10,000 reinforcements from the Allied Forces took advantage of the chaos and rushed through the blockade of the Far East Army. While taking out the tokens and speaking secret words, they immediately ordered the west city gate to be opened and let them into the city. One of them was Shen Guoer.
dress up.

As early as when he received the news that Li Jing was rushing to Boling County, Wang Junlin asked Shen Guoer to send a large number of spies, and all the killers sneaked into Boling County.
These days the Far East Army is attacking Boling County. These military intelligence agency spies and killers have not received Shen Guoer's orders and have not taken action without permission. However, they have been lurking and secretly assassinating some people in Boling County or burning down Boling.
Preparation of food and fodder for the county army.
As for breaking the city from the inside, who is Li Jing? He has long thought of this possibility and has taken strict precautions. However, with their manpower and strength, they are still somewhat lacking. If they try to do it forcefully, it will only lead to death, so they have never thought about it.
Today, Shen Guoer went into the city and issued an order to these MIA spies and killers. The content of this order was also what they had repeatedly prepared to do these days. However, Shen Guoer brought a few things that Nie Xiaoyu had free time.
When bored, I made some random gadgets, such as a burning object that was difficult to extinguish.

Under Wang Junlin's order, the Far East Army maintained a consistent offensive and defensive posture, coordinated with the pace of combat, and continued to carry out normal siege. Except for some adjustments that seemed to be made for tighter city defense, there were no major changes, let alone Bo.
The Lingjun garrison discerned Wang Junlin's plan from these changes.
In the past ten years, Wang Junlin has participated in or commanded many wars, large and small. In addition to field battles, most of them were sieges. He has accumulated extremely rich experience and insights. Coupled with Nie Xiaoyu's careful calculations,
That’s why I have such confidence.
The huge boulders launched intensively by the trebuchets smashed the city head of Boling County to pieces, and the defenders took refuge in the Tibetan Soldier Cave. Only when the trebuchets stopped firing did they reoccupy the city head.
At this time, the Far East Army did not hesitate to waste arrows, and an overwhelming rain of arrows fell on the city wall of Boling County. However, Li Jing, who was responsible for defending the city, was well-known for defending the city. There were many virtual movable square spires on the city head.
The shed is a shelter made of huge wood as bones and cowhide as the surface. The cowhide is soft and tough. After the arrow is hit at a parabola angle, it can no longer pose a threat to the soldiers hidden in the curtain. However, the soldiers are hiding in it, but
The formation movement of the army outside the city can be observed in time and then deployed to the meeting point.
This style of play consumes arrows and siege equipment very quickly for the attacking side, but the losses of our own soldiers are greatly reduced.
However, since Wang Junlin wanted the Boling County defenders not to have doubts due to the obvious change in the Far Eastern Army's attack rhythm, which would affect subsequent plans, the normal siege would still have to continue, but some losses could not be avoided.
"Let go of the trampling arrows and prepare to attack the city!"
Flags were fluttering on the watchtower, and rows of crossbows were aimed at the city wall, with hammers hitting Yafa. Short crossbows with thick forearms roared towards the city wall with eardrum-piercing roars, and rows of nails were driven into the thick walls.
Wall, soldiers can use it to climb up when they rush to the city wall.
Groups of soldiers stood behind cowhide curtains, pushing folding bridges equipped with wooden wheels. Trench-filling trucks rushed forward quickly under the cover of arrows. The moat of Boling County City has been widened and deepened, but
The flow of water had been cut off by Wang Junlin sending people upstream. Only about a foot of water remained in the moat, and a giant pole with a sharp handle at the top was exposed in the water.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Although the cutting shaft and the windlass were already oiled, they still made a sour sound when they were turned rapidly. The skilled craftsmen of the Far Eastern Army's Yancheng weapons and equipment production base followed the research and invention of the Military Intelligence Agency's Weapons Division to brave the arrows thrown down from the city.
Yu spread it on the water, then turned the noose, extended the other half of the folded bridge forward, and set it on the opposite river bank.
Ten moat bridges formed a bridge deck fifteen feet wide, turning the entire moat into flat ground.
This kind of flying bridge was one of the inventions in Yancheng a year ago, but it was not the work of Nie Xiaoyu, but the invention of a craftsman. At that time, Wang Junlin had ordered Yancheng to reward him, and in accordance with Wang Junlin's requirements
, the craftsman who invented this kind of flying bridge was directly rewarded with the eighth-grade official position.
At that time, this incident caused a small sensation in the Yancheng weapons and equipment production base. For countless years, throughout the dynasties, no ordinary craftsman had ever been able to obtain an official position in this way.
Yancheng weapons and equipment production base recruited skilled craftsmen from all walks of life from all over the country, and they began to rack their brains to carry out various inventions, research and creations.
So much so that even without Nie Xiaoyu's suggestions, they invented many good things inspired by Nie Xiaoyu's previous theoretical foundations and ideas.
Because of Wang Junlin's personal promotion, the flying bridge produced in Yancheng has been equipped with troops after mass production. It was also brought over by the Far East Army this time and was put to good use.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..." The arrows at the top of the city were replaced by rockets, which no longer shot people but the bridge deck. However, the researchers at the weapons and equipment production base at that time had already considered these conventional attacks. Most of the bridge decks were
Wrapped in iron, it is difficult for arrows to damage it. Unless it is roasted by a fire, a flame like the one on the arrow cannot penetrate the bridge deck, making it difficult to function.
