The first round of tentative siege of the Guangjun army had already begun when the third day of the camp outside the city was still early.

No soldier tried to approach the city wall to fight in close combat.

Relying solely on long-range attacks, we constantly eliminate the will of the defenders on the eastern city wall.

Cats were assembled, and large stones and scattered stones were constantly spread to the city, as if rain had fallen, and all the defenders on the city wall dared not show their heads.

The defenders had no idea, but just hid their bodies behind the walls, listening to the vibrations in their ears and the whistling sounds of stones passing through the sky, and doing what they should do.

But when the sky turned white, I found something strange when I guarded the city. It turned out that bags of sacks filled with gravel were placed in three positions in the moat!

The Guangjun army secretly used this method to fill the moat!

So, the defenders in the city naturally launched the first wave of counterattacks, and saw several yellow lights quietly leaving the city and shooting towards the distance against the ground. Although the attacking army discovered it in time, a missing sword light successfully shattered five or six new trenchers, slightly suppressing the attacking party's momentum.

But when the sun rises, more catapults are combined. This time, the flying swords in the city are no longer possible to easily destroy the siege equipment. They can only settle for the second choice to choose the moat that is close to the piled-up path and destroy as much as possible.

However, the cost of this behavior is very high, and the loss of true qi to the practitioner may also become the weakness of the defender in a certain subsequent attack.

And the outcome is often a slight difference.

As time passed by minute by minute, the atmosphere of war began to cover the sky above Roucheng.

People living nearer to the city wall had to be evacuated to places closer to the city center and became "vagrants", making the environment in the city more tense and unpredictable.

For a whole day, Guangjun was just testing, and the catapult did not stop working until the night. The first batch of catapults that were built had been scrapped a lot because they exceeded the load. However, even with such high losses, Guangjun seemed to be willing to do so.

That night, everyone in Roucheng had to fall asleep in such a harsh whistling sound, and then woke up by the loud noise at some point. After this, when the sun rose again the next morning, everyone felt more or less uncomfortable.

Then, the defenders found that the number of stone throws seemed to be decreasing. When some more courageous defenders went to see, they found that several huge siege vehicles were pushed out of the camp outside the city.

It was an instrument composed of huge logs. From the front, it looked like a building car that was a little higher than the city wall. It was covered with thin metal, making it look extremely thick. From the back, it looked more like a huge ladder divided into several sections!

Once such equipment is mounted on the city wall, the soldiers lined up in a long line behind the siege vehicles can continuously climb the city wall through the ladder behind!

Then, naturally, there was a struggle between these huge siege cars.

The light of various flying swords in the sky spiraled around, constantly colliding around the siege car!

The huge and frequent explosions made the soldiers of the siege cars dizzy, and the shock wave brought by an occasional powerful impact would even overturn them to the ground!

At the same time, the defenders of Roucheng took the initiative to open the city gate for the first time. Two thousand cavalry rushed out, and as soon as they left the city, they detoured to the north and south. Finally, they interlaced behind the siege cars, killing the soldiers lined up in a long line, and then launched an attack on several siege cars. Just a few waves of arrows caused the soldiers pushing the cart to fall down in large numbers. Combined with a wave of rockets, three siege cars were ignited and the cavalry returned to the city.

After repeated this several times, Guangjun pushed two siege cars onto the city wall after sunset, and launched the first real siege battle since the army assembled on that night.

The first battle is a bloody battle!

The toughness of the attacking party was completely different from the casualness of the slashing machine that day and night. The defenders on the city wall knew how decisive the other party wanted to achieve in the first battle. Although there were only two battlefields, the situation of the two places was very anxious. Both sides continued to increase chips to these two points, so that the number of cultivators concentrated on these two points alone was as many as a hundred!

So on this night, a brief and rapid battle between the practitioners of the offensive and defensive sides suddenly broke out, and eventually brought huge casualties to the surrounding soldiers, and the two siege cars were finally destroyed!

It was not until this moment that Guangjun called Jin to withdraw his troops, allowing nearly 10,000 soldiers who were waiting to attack the city to withdraw back to the camp...

The siege seems to have ushered in the first timeout.

But everyone knows that after a brief pause, what Rou City will usher in will surely be a larger-scale bloody battle...

—————————————————————

On the night when Roucheng and Guangjun army were confronting head-on in Anling, Zhengcang City, far away in Sancang, also had its first frontal contact with Guangjun army from Xiucheng.

Almost the same as Roucheng, Guangjun took only one move to a siege of more than 10,000 soldiers.

But compared with Roucheng's offensive posture, Zheng Cangcheng's offense and defense showed great aggressiveness.

Only when the vanguard troops of the Guangjun army had just arrived near Zhengcang City, the garrison of Zhengcang City, Shen Cheng took the initiative to attack on a large scale, taking advantage of the short-term local force gap to give the Guangjun army a small defeat. But perhaps this time, the defenders' active attack angered the generals from Guangjun. The next day, Guangjun had completed the assembly of several scattering machines and began to suppress the city in all aspects. As the number of scattering machines assembled during the day increased, the pressure on the city wall became increasingly greater.

Compared with Roucheng, Zhengcang City has more complete equipment for defending the city. It has also assembled some large trenchers to try to destroy the trenchers outside the city, but the number is much inferior.

But even so, the stones whistling back and forth above the city wall are already quite spectacular.

This continued until night, and the Guangjun garrison took advantage of the night to launch the siege car and forcibly supported the city wall with huge casualties.

Next is a close-killing bloody battle.

Shen Cheng, the defender of Zhengcang City, was not fully healthy, but he still insisted on going up to the city wall and fought bloody battles with a group of generals and soldiers at the forefront, and the morale of the defender was greatly boosted.

At the same time, the Duwei Jiuge, who was boldly decided to lead his troops to attack, also made a smooth progress, causing the formation of the attacking side outside the city to be in chaos.

With the joint efforts of the two sides, the Guangjun soldiers who had once attacked the city wall were quickly repelled.

When Jiuge returned to Zhengcang City and climbed the city wall again, Chen Cheng was still standing on the top of the city with a bloody sword.

"Bi General Chen, how about it?" Jiuge asked with a smile and leaned against Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng did not respond to his show-off, but just stared at the camp in the distance, "I think something is wrong..."

Jiuge asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" He followed Chen Cheng's gaze and looked at Guangjun camp in the distance. It was a high-level place. Even if they stood at the top of Zhengcang City, they couldn't see it clearly. "The casualties and injuries on both sides of the siege are not small. Obviously, the other party is not a joke. What do you think is wrong?"

Chen Cheng shook his head, picked up the long knife in his hand and pointed at the camp in the distance, "Look at the size of the camp, there must be at least 40,000 to 50,000 people. Today's first battle was so large. It seems that Guangjun really wanted to take down my Zhengcang City, but... why is it not Anling's Rou City?"

Jiuge frowned and said, "It is easy for Guangjun to capture Anling, but when it comes to the importance of our Lijun, Anling is not as good as the Sancang land today. You should know that the flat terrain of these Sancang land is an extremely rare place for producing grain in Sancang County. The most scarce thing in Lijun today is food."
