When the buzzer sounded, the two people who were sleeping with their heads covered were awakened at the same time. They instinctively lifted the quilt and ran in front of the monitor.

Outside the Iron Curtain on the screen, an army of more than [-] people has been assembled.

They arrived one after another in the middle of the night, taking turns to rest until noon, when all the assembly and preparations had been completed.

Due to the felling or crushing of some trees, a few cameras lost their functions, but this did not affect the overall observation and surveillance.

Zhao Qingyu looked at the siege teams that were still gathering one after another, zoomed in on most of the details with the mouse, and frowned, "What are these?"

Xin Qiji had been with him for a few days, and now they were getting familiar with each other. He leaned over to take a look, and said in a low voice, "This is the 'Xingtian Bridge', which is used for ants to attach to the city wall."

Right now the two sides haven't engaged in a fierce exchange of fire - the city is waiting and watching, and various large equipment are still being assembled outside the city, the atmosphere is oppressive and secretive.

Zhao Qingyu's heart moved, and she asked, "Do you know how the Jin people attacked the city?"

"En." Xin Qiji followed the mouse to look at the situation of the Jin Kingdom's army, and said in a familiar tone: ""Mozi" once recorded twelve kinds of siege methods, roughly including landing, hook, rushing, ladder, etc. wait."

"In fact, there are only three most commonly used ones, namely water attack, fire attack and earth attack."

He motioned Zhao Qingyu to enlarge the screen to a pile of unused wooden shelves in the southeast corner, and explained: "This is a watchtower, but it is obviously not suitable for the current situation."

The watchtower is a watchtower built with woodworking technology. It played a certain role in the capture of Bianliang City in the past, but now the third and outer third floors of Yangzhou City are wrapped like cabbage. not big.

"And this one, Xingtianqiao." Xin Qiji already knew how to use gestures to operate the interface, and motioned Qingyu to look at the wooden ladder they were splicing together: "This one is for siege - there are coolies in the cart to push this long ladder to the top. After it is stuck, the lower end of the wheel will lower the second long ladder, and at the same time, the mechanism chain will be fixed on the city wall."

He noticed that a few people had already assembled the several-meter-long ladder, but there was still no movement on the Iron Curtain. He felt a little anxious in his heart, and asked, "Where's the defenders?"

"There are no guards here." Zhao Qingyu propped her chin, pointed to the towering iron curtain and said, "This is a dangerous building, and you are not allowed to approach it within 20 meters."

What... what?

Xin Qiji subconsciously wanted to use the computer to look up what this meant.

What is a dangerous building?

The entire Iron Curtain was built under the guidance of several architects.

The point of building this thing is not to completely seal Jin Bing out - if you really want to do that, you should build it more than ten meters high, and it is best to build the wall like the Greenland Financial Center, creating a towering momentum come out.

The existence of the iron curtain is to delay the attack of the golden soldiers, delay their tactical organization, and at the same time for large-scale automated killing.

The center of gravity of the entire Iron Curtain is slightly to the north, and even if a mine is detonated, the container will roll to the north like the wheels of a car.

This is the biggest difference between the iron box wall and the earth wall.

If it is a stone wall or earth wall in the traditional sense, there are not only many places where you can hook the strength points during the climbing process, but after the wall collapses, you will just be tired on the ground. Instead, it can form a hillside to help people from outside come in faster.

Since the iron box is made up of separate containers, when the number of people climbing reaches the limit of its carrying capacity, it will roll down with the point of force—but overall it is just like a building block is missing.

According to the characteristics of the containers, unless the entire Golden Army dismantled all the containers in a certain row, they could pass the wall, but this would also touch the adjacent building structure, causing a series of unknown reactions.

Seven or eight hundred meters away from the Iron Curtain, the siege army began to march forward slowly under the sound of orders.

Yelu Yuanyi instinctively stood behind, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

No matter how dull the general is, he should know that someone is coming outside by this time.

He didn't know the difference between this iron wall and the city wall, but it was not that he had never seen a city wall before, and there was never a big difference.

It is estimated that four people will not be able to touch the top when stacked, so it is necessary to support more ladders.

In addition to the fact that the soldiers guarding the city couldn't see a single person, there was another problem: how could there be no thorns and staghorn wood outside the city wall?

This is Yangzhou City, and it is an important town. The news sent back by the former spies when they came to monitor Guo Zhizhou's defense also said that it was designed to be trapped in a horse pit.

For this reason, Yelu Yuanyi specially arranged for a unit to use rakes to remove some things that could hurt the horse.

"They opened the way." Liu Xi stared at the army slowly approaching the city wall on the screen, looking at the distance line marked with bright red marks.

Landmines were scattered at a distance of 100 meters to 500 meters from the city wall.

Under the control of distance and depth, a stepping sound will only detonate a small area, but will not cause a linkage reaction.

At the moment when the horseshoes and the siege engine drove forward, amidst the boiling human voices, there was a very subtle metallic sound.

In the next second, the siege engine in that area was directly blown up, and the pieces of wood and armor flew directly into the sky!

"what is this?!"

Yelu Yuanyi thought that the enemy had suddenly appeared somewhere, but the explosion this time was completely unexpected!

What's this?Where did it come from?And for what? !

Song's army was also equipped with a large number of incendiary devices, but they all required people to shoot crossbows or throw them - there is still no defender in sight, how to distinguish the source!

At this sudden commotion the army halted.

No, he still has to go back and report to the Lord, and he can't stop!

The drums beat again, and the army moved forward again with battering rams and battering engines.

As the carriages and chariots carrying weapons ran to a specific place, the sound of bombing came from different places again!

Could this be the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique!

Yelu Yuanyi didn't dare to go forward at all, he only knew one thing - the same place wouldn't trigger a thunderstorm twice, and the army was so large that it was impossible for them all to retreat from a certain route, so there was only one way , the whole army is pushing forward!

"They... haven't cleared mines yet?"

There was silence in the Senate.

Everyone could see that the senior generals in charge stayed at the rear, and most of the soldiers in the army could only bite the bullet and move forward even if they knew that they might be killed suddenly.

A total of more than [-] landmines were planted, and a corresponding red cross would appear on the map every moment they were ignited.

And relying on the crushing technology of crowds, Jin Bing detonated more than 340 bombs, moving forward slowly like a giant ship that could not turn around.

Along the way, the soldiers walked forward on the corpses of their companions.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Boom!"

During the several hundred meters of progress, there were more than ten explosions almost every minute, and the dust that burst out was mixed with scarlet blood, but the tens of thousands of people seemed to feel no pain or death or injury. Like a zombie, it went on like this.

Tens of thousands of people, mixed with all kinds of equipment and chariots, spread out like a brown-black net, tightly but slowly responding to the commotion from all directions.

No one dared to run to the sides - obviously something would explode on both sides, but as long as they could follow the path of the people in front, they would be right.

The generals, big and small, were urging the crowd to move forward, and the few who wanted to flee back were beheaded directly, rolled to the side like stones, and finally trampled by horseshoes beyond recognition.

Because there are still a large number of unknown mines on the roads on both sides, the army people subconsciously walked to the middle, and did not dare to disperse under the city wall.

Under the constraints of technology and construction conditions, the average height of the city walls of the Song Dynasty is 4.5 to 5 meters, while the city walls of Yangzhou City, which have been blinded for ten days, are more than six meters——

It took tons of construction waste, and countless shipping containers and air freight boxes.

It's not so much the Iron Curtain, but more like a pile of rubbish piled up in a modern industrial city.

"Führer," the people in the military department probably sensed the disparity between the two forces, and asked, "For the high-altitude throwing operation, wait for orders first?"

They originally planned to use cranes to throw large-scale steel bars and heavy objects at high altitudes while these people were clearing mines and breaking walls, but at present, they obviously overestimated the enemy's combat power.

At the same time, the pedestrian bridges began to join together like bamboo tubes, climbing upwards like vines.

"Still haven't seen the defenders?"

"No, my lord."

Could it be that the people from Yangzhou City have already run away?

With the drums and the orders of the heralds, the army divided into two groups and began to attack the walls in different ways.

The lower layer of the ladder is protected by a small niche wrapped in cowhide. Six to ten people are hidden under each ladder, and they start digging tunnels with the help of various tools.

Looking at the yellow dust and corpse blood all over the floor, Zhao Qingyu suddenly asked, "Is this a tank?"

Where he pointed was a slowly moving giant car.

A runner is placed under the car, and a huge log like a hut is placed on it, which is also wrapped in cowhide.

The giant vehicle itself was huge, about two meters high, and dozens of vehicles were connected in series on the entire front battlefield, slowly approaching the city wall like worms.

"This is a goose cart hole, also called a pointed wood donkey." Xin Qiji motioned him to look at the hardwood outer layer of those chariots, and explained: "They may think that there will be defenders on the top at any time, throwing stones and pouring oil on it. , use this as a mobile bunker to facilitate the siege.”

He paused for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the defender here yet?"

Zhao Qingyu stroked her chin and said, "I won't come."

"This high wall was meant to be knocked down by them."

"What?" Xin Qiji's expression was blank for a few seconds: "They pushed it down."

"The cost is not high, it's just oil and electricity." Zhao Qingyu yawned and said, "It can be used again after being overturned, it's okay."

Such a towering iron wall can be pushed at will?

"Their trebuchets are in place." Xin Qiji looked at another monitor screen and said with a tense expression, "My father said that these trebuchets were originally from the Song Dynasty."

As far as the technology of this era is concerned, the technology of Song State is more developed. Not only has gunpowder, rockets and other combat preparations, but also installed thousands of trebuchets for defense.

But before the Jin soldiers invaded Bianjing for the second time, more than 500 trebuchets were directly thrown outside the city due to the hasty withdrawal of the defenders and they were not deployed in time, and all of them belonged to the Jin army.

Jin Bing not only absorbed and learned a lot of Song Bing's technology and new weapons, but also continued to improve and supplement them. Now, nearly a hundred years later, his strength has reached an astonishing level.

At the moment when the boulder was thrown into the sky by the ejection device, Xin Qiji's heart was suspended.

Zhao Qingyu next to her suddenly burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because, they will suffer losses if they do this." Zhao Qingyu pointed to the location of the city wall.

"If the trebuchet is to knock down the defenders on the city wall, then their plan has failed - because there is no one on the Iron Curtain." The child's thinking is very clear: "If it is to attack the defenders inside the wall, then their plan will fail." Impossible - the defenders inside the wall are all on the inner city wall, so they can't be attacked at all."

"If it was to destroy the Iron Curtain, it would be even more of a fire."

His eyes were black and bright, and he had a relaxed smile: "Why do I think they might not even be able to pass the first level..."

College students stood there waiting for a primary school student to punch and kick, which always felt like tickling.

-

After Wu Gong rested in the temporary dormitory next to him, when he returned to the command room, he found that the leader, Liu Xun, was not wearing the dark uniform, but was wearing a loose nightgown as if on vacation.

So much so that the collarbone is exposed.

His expression was relaxed, and his hair had just been washed, and it was hanging down wet.

——It’s fine if you don’t wear a uniform, but what is this nightgown with a pink bear printed on it? !

Sun Ci and Hu Fei who were busy next to him were obviously used to it, and they didn't even take a second look.

Wu Gong looked at the mayor's appearance for a long time, and thought to himself that Mr. Guo Di was guarding the front line, otherwise he would think that the head of their neighboring country is a licentious and foolish king!

He was a fool!

"Don't use this expression..." Liu Xi took a sip of gin and tonic, and shook the cocktail glass in his hand: "Would you like some?"

"Liu Xi." Wu Gong said forcefully, "This is war."

"Yes." Liu Xi looked at him and said, "I haven't been home for four days, and I slept for eight hours in these two days—can't I wear pajamas?"

Wu Gong didn't know how to refute this question, he just forced himself not to look at the beautiful shape of his collarbone, turned his head to look to the other side and said: "How is the battle going?!"

"I'm watching them play with themselves now—" Liu Xi yawned and said, "Considering that there may be reinforcements in the future, I will not throw murderous intent for the time being."

Although there are more than [-] people, they are still at a loss in front of modern engineering.

Since there was no sound in the broadcast, Wu Gong could only see that the iron curtain on the screen was rolling down piece by piece like building blocks.

A [-]-foot container is [-] meters long, [-] meters wide and [-] meters high, with a gross weight of [-] tons.

The gross weight of a [-]-foot container is [-] tons.

These things not only bear the weight of the Iron Curtain, but also bear the weight of the crowd who are constantly climbing up, and they are already in a precarious state.

A small amount of construction waste began to roll down under the pressure of the ladder because it was not fixed very tightly, repelling people climbing up like natural rolling stones.

Six meters is close to the height of a three-story building, and the ladder is not sure whether the anchor point is stable—they neither understand the purpose of the steel bars, nor can they get stuck on the container or the smooth or undulating surface.

Some people even started drinking Coke to watch them attack the city.

The Iron Curtain, which was thought to be conquered within two hours, has now stood for five hours.

Even the sun was almost setting.

Wu Gong checked the power distribution a dozen times, and he only came here at this time because he was too worried. He looked at the screens in these rooms, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt a slight vibration on the soles of his feet. Even the lights started to flicker!

"It's collapsed! It's collapsed! The head of state, look!"

Liu Xi got up and walked over quickly, and saw that the tunnel excavation on the west side directly collapsed a load-bearing structure, causing a chain reaction of more than a dozen containers to roll down there!

A box weighs two or three tons, and it is still dropped from a height of six meters!

At this moment, people are even like cotton without any ability to resist power.

The entire meeting room fell silent suddenly.

Those boxes tumbled down uncontrollably, crushing them all the way in the direction of the dense crowd of climbers!

The sharp steel edges pierced up like torture, and the gravity directly crushed a group of people into a pool of blood!

The soldiers next to him couldn't hold on any longer, and started howling and fleeing around, and the general had no ability to restrain him!

The scary thing was not that a box started to roll and fall, but that the dozen or so containers after that were devouring people's lives like giant dark beasts!

Never before had they seen war and death so clearly.

The blood is real, flesh and blood are indistinguishable, but the picture is silent.

People are sitting in a modern room with only the rustling sound of machines, looking at the picture on the other side of the screen, as if they are witnessing a live broadcast of death in a different dimension.

Liu Xi's voice broke the silence.

"According to the information given by Song Guo, the Jin army may attack for several months without retreating, so we must not be careless."

He emphasized again: "Their lives are their lives, but our lives are also our lives."

Wu Gong glanced at the pink bear on his pajamas, but didn't speak.

A few people finally climbed the Iron Curtain, and only at this moment saw the scene of despair.

Between the Iron Curtain and the inner city wall, there is still a distance of a thousand meters——

Not to mention how to get down from this height of more than six meters, the empty middle field is probably also hidden with the same ground fire as before——

Perhaps at the moment of landing, an earth-shattering explosion will be triggered, and all the survivors will be blown to pieces in the thunderbolt.

The mood that they thought they could finally declare victory was extinguished in an instant, but they couldn't convey the information below——

The falling scraps and boxes are triggering new explosions, and at the same time, there are screams and screams of exhausted people everywhere, and more people are climbing up numbly, and are constantly being pushed down by various things.

It is simply impossible to explain to the command from the highest point that there are several obstacles beyond the high wall and that the march should be temporarily stopped.

Countless people rolled down overlappingly amidst the vibrations and shocks, and more people died in mid-air.

This is a wall of steel, not stone dust.

Any protruding steel bars and edges are sharp weapons for killing, and they cannot be avoided.

If a box falls, dozens to hundreds of people will be turned upside down, and nearly a thousand people will be killed or injured in a chain.

In the sky, everything is dangerous and terrifying.

It was the weirdest siege ever.

In the past, even though there were people in the Jin army who were constantly falling down when the sky ladder was used, there were also many Song soldiers who were killed and smashed into the city.

Even if it is a protracted siege, half of the city wall can be demolished and go back to rest.

But now they dare not even look back—

Turning back, you must not go back the same way. Tens of thousands of people are jammed together in a mess, and there are explosions everywhere.

It may have been blown into powder before falling to death.

Moreover, until now, they have not seen a defender.

Even if they climbed over, they didn't see a shadow of a person.

There is no sense of war at all, and even morale cannot be stimulated——

Killing people can drive people into madness, and capturing the flag can boost morale, but all of this now is like tens of thousands of people recklessly dying!

The generals around Yelu Yuanyi were all dumbfounded, they didn't know what to do.

And Yelu Yuanyi himself was in a dilemma - he had never dealt with such a complicated matter.

Even if Mingjin withdraws troops at this time, people may not be able to come back.

In the chaos, I only heard something crackling, and then the cave where the dozen boxes were piled up suddenly collapsed again!

Still climbing on it, the bleeding soldiers with cut elbows didn't even have time to howl before they were drawn into the gap between the boxes, just like the residents in the city who couldn't escape during an earthquake, and couldn't even grab anything to get out. climb up.

There were nearly 500 people in the dozen or so boxes, and they were either going forward or backward under the sudden collapse, and many people were killed and injured during the stampede.

There was another crackling sound——

Yelu Yuanyi's expression became serious, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

The voice came from outside the wall.

This is exactly what he guessed——

Crossing the Iron Curtain, I'm afraid he hasn't made a mistake. Inside, he doesn't know how far away the city is, and he doesn't know how many such fires are waiting to destroy his army!

"Retreat troops—retreat troops—"

There is such an invincible situation!
