The trencher made a dull thunderous sound, from dozens of kilograms of large stones to small stones weighing several kilograms, flying all over the sky. Inside and outside the city, countless large-scale long-range weapons were bombarding, and many stones were densely concentrated to colliding in the air, then turning into countless pieces, rotating and turning into stone rain, and countless people fell silently in it.

The city wall was shaking, and above the city, you could see deep pits smashed when the stone bullets fell everywhere. In some pits, you could also see fragmented corpses and blood stains.

At this time, no one cares about the dead. These stone bombs that have lost their power will soon be picked up by the soldiers guarding the city, and then thrown heavily to the city, accompanied by screams, completing another wave of his mission.

Countless powerful crossbows roared through the air, some swept through the city wall, while others were stuck heavily on the wall. At the same time, there were too many powerful crossbows hitting the city wall, and the entire city wall was shaking.

The siege cars had just been destroyed, and the next group of siege cars were already approaching the city wall step by step under the push of countless soldiers. The chilling linoleum sound of the crossbow machine was endless, pouring overwhelming arrows.

Both sides were equipped with a large number of Ming army armed forces. If you had to say a little different, it was that the quality of the equipment in Guanning's troops should be better, while Bian Wushuang's Ming army weapons, especially the more sophisticated crossbows, had a higher damage rate.

Under the close range of crossbows, the general wooden shield has little protection effect. At best, it is to slow down its strength. Only the shield wrapped in iron can effectively resist and minimize the power of the arrows fired by the crossbows.

At Xiaoshi City, both sides of the offense and defense suffered huge losses.

If Xiaoshi City was not a simple military fortress, then it would have been lost under such a strong attack. Fortunately, the purpose of Xiaoshi City's existence was to war. It was a fortress born because of the war. The city had to provide the needs of Zhou Jiyun's troops in Luzhou, and it had also collected a large amount of weapons and supplies, which gave Guan Ning a room to play.

Just talking about the number of crossbow machines and powerful crossbows, the small stone city is more than that of the Bian tribe. However, the Bian tribe outside has a greater advantage for large equipment such as the trencher. Because as long as they are damaged, they can cut down trees and create some simple versions of the trencher at any time. However, in the city, one is damaged and one is missing. At most, one piece is pieced together and the one that is damaged is re-made, but the quality is really jeopardized. Often, it cannot be fired a few times, and there is no need for enemy attacks, so they will fall apart first.

The small stone city is small and strong, which is an advantage and a disadvantage in defense. The number and convenience of large equipment such as the catapult are extremely limited. Under the covered attack of the Bian Army, their chances of survival are much lower than other equipment. Until now, the number of catapults in the city has been drastically reduced.

Guan Ning retreated with a heavy breath, and Yu Hong rushed up in full arms. Even though his injury had not yet been cured, he could only push forward without hesitation. Bian Wushuang was really fighting desperately. After attacking for two consecutive days but not taking down Xiaoshi City, he also had red eyes. Now Bian Wenzhong has controlled Kunling County City, and reinforcements are on the way, and he has enough confidence to fight with Xiaoshi City to consume.

After taking down Xiaoshi City, Zhou Jiyun's retreat was completely intermittent, and Zhou Jiyun's troops were trapped in Luzhou. The final result was no different from Min Ruoying back then. There was no other option except for a big defeat. Only by killing Zhou Jiyun could Bian Wushuang take over Kunling County, and then back to Qi and bargain with the Ming people.

At that time, in order to have a force in front of the Ming people, Qi State would spare no effort to support Bian Wushuang in Kunling County for a long time.

This is Bian Wushuang's lowest hope.

The tenacity of Xiaoshi City was beyond Bian Wushuang's expectations. He originally thought that Guan Ning's troops would follow Zhou Jiyun to attack Luzhou, but what he did not expect was that this army composed of powerful Ming army soldiers actually stayed in Xiaoshi City, which made his hope of quickly taking down Xiaoshi City shatter. The current strategy is to fight for consumption and trade life to obtain Xiaoshi City.

Bian Wushuang knew the importance of Xiaoshi City, and of course Yue Kaishan knew it too. Compared to Guan Ning, his resistance was more firm. The scholar-in-law was wearing a helmet and armor at this moment, and appeared on the city wall with a single sword in his hand. It was unrealistic to expect him to kill the enemy. However, he had been in Kunling County for many years, but he had a very high reputation. Standing here would allow the civilians participating in the war to be more energetic.

There were originally tens of thousands of people in the city. Before the war started, nearly half of the people transported the baggage and did not return, but even the remaining one was a big number. However, for Guanning, if these thousands of people were used well, they could become a helper, and if they were not used well, they would become a hidden danger.

The first batch of civilians who were waiting for the wall to fight were 500, which was the most powerful group. Guan Ning did not dare to put them in the most dangerous position. If they suffered too many casualties, it would make the remaining civilians feel fear. If they wanted to let other people go to the city wall, it would be difficult.

On the first day, Guan Ning arranged for all the civilians who went up to the city wall to do some auxiliary work. Although dangers are everywhere, in the end of the day, only dozens of people were injured or killed in the five hundred people.

The next day, Guanning arranged a thousand people to go to the city wall, and one-third of them were pushed to the front line. After one day, more than 800 people returned to the fort.

It was the third day of today. Guan Ning arranged 2,000 people to the city wall, and half of them were pushed to the front line. Guan Ning estimated that after a day of killing, the casualties would probably be between 400 and 500.

Fortunately, over the past few days, these civilians' fear of fighting has gradually decreased. The violent emotions of both sides who were red-eyed will be contagious. These civilians who have never killed anyone before are stoned to death, stabbing enemies with spears into the enemy's chest, and when they see their familiar companions fall down, the tyranny and anger in their hearts are slowly aroused. Sometimes the madness they show makes Lao Jun feel very surprised.

Guan Ning knew very well that if this continued, he would definitely arouse the fighting will of all the civilians, but it would also bring them a lot of casualties. They lacked a lot of combat skills, and they fought with their blood and courage.

Guan Ning felt a little ashamed because he was almost using a trick to get these civilians to join the battle, first making them feel that the battle was not that scary, and then slowly pulling out the most violent things deep in their hearts bit by bit. He didn't know what these surviving civilians would be like if they could survive this battle.

Maybe many people will go crazy.

But this thought flashed through, let's live first. They have caused too much damage to the Bian tribe these days. After breaking the city, Bian Wushuang, who was so angry, would not let the living creatures in the military fort.

"Will there be reinforcements?" Yue Kaishan didn't know how many times he asked Guan Ning.

Will there be reinforcements? There will definitely be reinforcements, but when it will arrive, I can't guess this.

It is most likely to come from Tongfang, but Kunling County City lies between Tongfang and Xiaoshi City. If reinforcements want to save themselves, they will kill Bian Wenzhong first. This seems to be quite difficult.

From Yingzui Rock, this is the fastest. But this answer was immediately denied by Guan Ning, which was impossible. Bian Wushuang jumped out from here. As the lessons of the past, wouldn’t he have deployed defensive forces on Yingzui Rock? Guan Ning knew the terrain there. One or two thousand people stationed, and even tens of thousands of troops would be useless. The reason why Bian Wushuang succeeded in one battle was nothing more than because Zhou Jiyun’s troops, because of the great victory, did not expect that Bian Wushuang, who was already on the verge of despair, would die and seek to survive.

"It would be better to expect General Zhou to come back quickly if we hope that General Zhou could come back quickly." Guan Ning, who had only one-eyed, still rolled a big eyeball to Yue Kaishan. If Zhou Jiyun did not have that little selfishness, how could Kunling County become like this now?

Yue Kaishan was silent, Zhou Jiyun sent troops, and he also agreed. It was too late to say anything now.

"The person who commands the Qi army in Luzhou is Xu Junsheng, not Zhong Ai's idiots." He sighed: "Xu Junsheng will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. It is very difficult for General Zhou to come back. The key is that he must have enough strength to come back. If he is defeated by Xu Junsheng, what's the use of coming back?"

Guan Ning naturally understood this principle.

"Then try your best, do your best, leave your destiny, and you can do your best to the end of the day!" Guan Ning smiled, picked up his knife, and walked to the front line again. Yu Hongshu had not healed yet, so he couldn't let him beat him for too long.

"I'll go too!" Yue Kaishan picked up the knife and followed Guan Ning.

"Mr. Yue is better standing here and beating drums to cheer." Guan Ning said bluntly: "Your strength is okay to kill a chicken, but killing people is a little short of it."

Yue Kaishan stopped and sighed to the sky. Only at this time did he truly feel that the scholar was useless. When the two armies faced each other and fought face to face, any conspiracy would be useless.

Guan Ning felt that the possibility of the Ming army coming from Yingzui Rock was not high, but in fact, the Ming army was about to make a breakthrough here. Guan Zhen led thousands of naval marines and had quietly touched the Yingzui Rock and was looking at the fortress guarding the throat of Kunling County.
