While he was busy, he saw firecrackers flying over the city wall again. Because the previous firecrackers only fell among the troops and were not so far behind, the general did not pay attention. However, he saw firecrackers flying over the troops.
, when he came straight towards them, he shouted:
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Everyone hurriedly flew to both sides. Before anyone landed, the seismic cannon had already landed. With a loud noise, dirt, wood residue, grass residue and other things were flying all over the sky, and then they were raining down one after another.
Everyone has not recovered from the explosion just now, and now they have to face all kinds of debris falling. The surrounding soldiers are running around like rats.
Gao Wei and Gao Anahu rushed out of the tent in shock.
Gao Wei asked in a panic:
"What happened just now? Did the ground move?"
The guard who had been standing outside said:
"Something flew over the city wall and destroyed our siege equipment."
Gao Anahu shouted in surprise:
"What?! Both instruments are destroyed?!"
The guard said seriously:
"Yes, that thing flew over and everything was destroyed."
Gao Wei and Gao Anahu looked at the guards in disbelief. At this time, the general came over and saluted Gao Wei:
"Your Majesty, all the siege equipment we deployed outside the four gates have been destroyed."
Gao Wei and Gao Anajong looked at the general in disbelief.
One Cuju flew over and eliminated the siege crossbows and siege cannons. The Zhou soldiers on the city wall were also stunned.
Liang Shiyan pointed at the mess over there and stammered:
"Then, what is that?"
Opening a river channel at Hyun Shinkou:
"Use firecrackers to blow up the rocks."
Everyone in Kunyu Kingdom secretly raised their thumbs: Our master Zhuo is still as good at deceiving people as he was before!
Liang Shiyan wanted to ask again, but Xuan had already arranged for people to go to each city gate and let them blast the siege equipment behind them.
After making arrangements, pat the general on the shoulder:
"I don't give up lightly. It's not time to give up yet. Only a piece of the city wall has collapsed, not all of it. Why should I act like I'm going to die?"
The general glanced at her, turned to the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty and said:
"Master Zhuo is right! It's not time to give up yet! We can't let Kun Yuguo look down on us!"
This persisted for more than ten days, and we were really going to run out of ammunition and food... No, no, we were still far from running out of food and ammunition. Fortunately, they were using crossbows, otherwise, we would really have been in the dark.
Climb out of the city wall to pick up arrows.
Liang Shiyan, Ning Yu, and Xun no longer knew what else to say to encourage the soldiers. They could only take the lead and use their own actions to inspire the soldiers and encourage them to persevere.
In such a predicament, December came, which is January in the Gregorian calendar. A few days after the first month of the month, there was a heavy snowfall.
There was no greenhouse effect in ancient times, and global warming was a problem. It was really cold in northern China when winter came. It was not uncommon for water tanks to freeze for three to nine days. Therefore, when the snow fell, the soldiers were cold from the inside out.
.
Hyun huddled next to Ning Ming, breathed into her red hands, and asked Ning Ming in a low voice:
"When will Yu Wenyong come? I can't hold on."
Ning Yu rubbed Hyun's hand:
"It will definitely come. Now around the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to being at war with the Qi State, it has made peace with the Turks, and has good relations with the Chen State of the Southern Dynasty. Last year, Tuyuhun was dealt with, so that Tuyuhun was temporarily unable to come and play. The external environment is peaceful. If
If you miss such a good opportunity, no one knows whether you will get another chance in the future."
Hyun took her hand out of Ning Ying's palm and covered Ning Ying's cold and red face:
"If you get frostbite, remember to rub it with snow so you won't get hurt."
Having said this, I was stunned for a moment, jumped up and rushed out. The cold wind outside carried snow flakes, cutting across my face like a knife. I squinted my eyes, but I had to use one hand to block my eyes. Make sure your eyes can open just a slit.
With the wind at his back, he mustered up all his strength and shouted:
"It's snowing! It's snowing!" He called Ding Wangcai and the others, "Come, let's have a snowball fight!"
As soon as Wu Tiedan made a sound of complaint, Lai Hou covered his mouth and shouted in a flattering manner:
"When it snows, we have to have snowball fights and build snowmen!"
Wu Tiedan's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he looked at Lai Houhu and didn't know what to say.
Yan Xiaomao also realized Xuan's intention and gave Wu Tiedan a hard squeeze on his waist. Wu Tiedan was so painful that even though he covered his mouth, the screams still came out harshly.
Yan Xiaomao glared at him and said to Xuan:
"I'm in a group with Wu Tiedan, which one of you is in a group with us?"
Ning Fang greeted Jiazi and the others and joined them.
After fighting for more than a month, the people in Pingyang City were already looking gloomy. They didn't know what tomorrow would be like, and they didn't know when such a worrying day would end.
Suddenly, cheerful laughter came from the silent street, and everyone opened the door one after another. They saw the soldiers of Kunyu Kingdom playing in a group, those who had snowball fights, those who built snowmen, and those who planned to make ice sculptures. A lively scene.
When the children heard laughter and saw so many people playing, they couldn't hold back their fun-loving mood and ran out one after another regardless of the adults' obstruction.
Pingyang City, where you could only hear the rustle of falling snow, became lively. Some business-minded people took the opportunity to set up small stalls to sell food. The steaming food was the most popular. The soldiers of Kunyu Kingdom lingered in these small stalls as if there was no war. stall.
Most of the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty had already fallen asleep. They didn’t know what year it would be tomorrow, so it was better to eat well and sleep well. However, they were soon awakened by the bustle outside, grumbling and complaining, and put on cold clothes. , get up and check.
After seeing them, the soldiers of Kunyu Kingdom pulled them to join the excitement. The soldiers who were watching on the city wall saw the warm orange lights lighting up in the city, and the laughter of women and children could be heard. My heart, which had been resting for more than half a month, gradually relaxed, and my whole body, which was stretched to the point of breaking, gradually relaxed. I ate the hot food brought by my companions again, took a long breath, and my troubled mind finally became clear. .
Gaowei, who was outside, was very impatient after fighting for so long without capturing Pingyang. He wanted to go back and hug the beautiful woman. The days without a woman were empty and his heart felt like a cat scratching his head.
Dissatisfied, he asked the general:
"When can Pingyang be captured?"
The general said:
"Sieging a city is a long-term matter. It only takes a few days to capture a city."
Gao Wei slapped the armrest angrily:
"Then, how did Zhou capture Pingyang in one day?!"
The general explained patiently:
"That's because the generals in the city surrendered to the city, which is why Pingyang was lost so quickly."
Gao Wei pointed to Pingyang City behind the smoke and said:
"Then let them surrender, money, women, status, whatever they want!"
