Jiang Feng and Liu Ji took the elevator to the top of the city, where Lu Bingfeng and Hongli were watching everything.
"How are you doing? How much have your powers recovered?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Building the moat has almost drained me dry. Unless I sleep well for a long time, I won't be able to recover much of my powers." Lu Bingfeng replied.
"Me too." Hongli said helplessly.
"Okay, then don't worry about it here. Go and rest quickly. I'll call you again in the evening."
"Is this okay?" Hongli asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. I'm here, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"All right."
After Lu Bingfeng and Hongli left, Jiang Feng took a chair and sat on the top of the city, drinking water and cracking melon seeds.
Liu Ji stood next to Jiang Feng with a confused look on her face: "Why are you so leisurely?"
"Look, everything in front of you is filled with steam and it's completely white. You can't see anything, so you can only wait."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Haha, why should I be anxious? It's them who should be anxious. It's now 12:13 noon. By this time tomorrow, my Wudang Feijun will be here."
The Wudang Feijun led by Fu Sheng can be said to be the strongest force of Jiang Zhi's forces. Although there are only 10,000 in number, all of them are the elite among the elite.
From the imperial capital to Peicheng, it would take about a week if the army marched as standard. As for Wudang Feijun, it only takes two days at most, which is a little faster than ordinary cavalry.
Note: The standard army includes siege troops, transport troops, and a large number of infantry, so the speed is relatively slow.
As long as the Wudang flying army arrives, they can directly attack the coalition's siege troops and even forcibly remove the opponent's slings. Without the catapult, Peicheng could sit back and relax.
"Gurgling..." Jiang Feng's stomach growled.
"Jiang Feng, are you hungry?" Liu Ji asked with concern.
"Hey, are you not hungry? I have been busy since last night and have forgotten to eat. Come on, please get me something to eat." Jiang Feng shouted to the guard.
"Get ready now." The guard hurried to the lift.
"By the way, there's also Liu Ji's." Jiang Feng added.
"clear."
Ten minutes later, two hot set meals were delivered to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was probably starving, so he wolfed down the food with gusto. Liu Ji's movements were very gentle, even her eating movements were very charming. The eyes of the surrounding guards unconsciously looked at Liu Ji.
Jiang Feng noticed this and said to the guards around him: "Why are you watching others eat? Do you want to eat too?"
"Report to the lord, we have compressed food and will not eat." the guard replied.
Soldiers in Peicheng can go to the large canteen to eat when there is no war, but when there is a war, the canteen will be closed and only simple compressed food will be distributed to the soldiers.
These compressed foods are very nutritious and taste decent, but they lack water, so every soldier will be equipped with a kettle.
In addition, although the large canteen will be closed, there will still be a small canteen providing delicious meals, mainly to serve officers or special guests, such as Liu Ji.
Liu Ji saw that the guards stopped staring at her after being told by Jiang Feng. For some reason, she felt warm in her heart.
Liu Ji slowly approached Jiang Feng and whispered, "Don't you like others staring at me?"
"It's so rude to stare at you." Jiang Feng replied while eating.
"Okay." Liu Ji smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Feng also laughed.
"No, it's nothing."
After a few minutes, Jiang Feng finished the meal, while Liu Ji had about half of her meal left.
"Hey, why are you eating so slowly?"
"I'm not hungry. I ate too much for breakfast. I really can't eat it anymore. Throw it away." Liu Ji said embarrassedly.
"Oh, how could you be so wasteful?" Jiang Feng said unhappy.
Liu Ji didn't expect Jiang Feng to care so much about wasting food, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "I can finish it, that's okay."
"Forget it, don't force it, just give it to me." Jiang Feng took Liu Ji's plate.
"Ah? Don't you mind?" Liu Ji said in surprise.
"What's this? I have fought so many battles. If I had cared about this, I would have starved to death a long time ago. I remember one time, when we were fighting on the Fuheng Plateau in Bei Mingxi Province, food was in short supply. Our army was hungry for two days. Eat. Later, we made a sneak attack on an enemy camp. The enemy was eating in the big canteen. When they saw our sneak attack, they abandoned the camp and ran away. There was not much food in the enemy camp, so we took the leftovers from the big canteen. I also ate the leftovers.”
"Ah? Didn't you expect it to be so miserable?" Liu Ji showed an incredible expression.
"This kind of thing happens a lot, especially when a lone army goes deep and the supplies at the rear cannot keep up, this situation often occurs."
"Look...it seems that I have fought too few battles."
"You are destined to be a princess, so you don't have to go through this kind of suffering." Jiang Feng smiled.
"No, if I follow you, I am willing to endure hardship."
"Why are you following me?"
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to follow." Liu Ji said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Someone, please put away the dinner plates."
"Yes." The guard came over and took away the two empty dinner plates.
Liu Ji felt an indescribable joy in her heart. He did not expect that Jiang Feng had finished all the food she had eaten. Maybe, to Jiang Feng, this is just a small thing. But for Liu Ji, he felt that only relatives and lovers would eat her food.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng stood up and came to the edge of the city.
Liu Ji came to her senses and walked over.
"Jiang Feng, what's wrong?"
"The fog has cleared and they are about to take action."
The steam and fog that originally filled the sky are quickly dissipating. This is very abnormal. It is obvious that the enemy has used wind powers.
There are no well-known wind power users in the Poxia Alliance. They should be power users with very low strength. Although they are not powerful in combat, their support is still very good, such as blowing away the mist in the sky.
A few minutes later, there was basically no steam at the North City Gate, and the 20 catapults had been erected again.
"The other party has indeed been busy for more than half an hour." Jiang Feng smiled.
"Why are you so calm?"
"Why don't you calm down? This is all expected. But I delayed them for more than half an hour, and these are the results."
"Now what?"
"Don't worry, let them attack first."
Soon, just as Jiang Feng thought, the catapult continued to throw gray ore boulders.
Ding Cheng gave the order again, and all the cannons began to aim at the boulders and fire.
50 giant cannons fight against 20 slingers. Because of their numerical advantage, it is not difficult to intercept them. Basically, it would take several minutes on average before one or two boulders would successfully hit the city wall.
After one round of ejection, the enemy used up all the boulders.
After that, the enemy sent out infantry and escorts in large numbers, at least tens of thousands. The purpose of their rush was to recover all the boulders so that they could continue the next round of attack.
After the enemy troops rushed over, the giant cannon began to fire at the enemy troops.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sounds of explosions kept coming and going.
These explosions did not kill the enemy soldiers, but severely hindered their ability to recover the boulders. Sometimes, as soon as they lifted the boulder, it was blown away by the impact of the explosion, and they had to lift the boulder again.
Before you knew it, half an hour had passed, and the enemy had recovered more than a hundred boulders, and there were still more than a hundred boulders still in the moat.
At the enemy's center position, the leaders of various forces began to discuss countermeasures.
"It's already one o'clock in the afternoon, but the walls of Peicheng are almost intact." Po Kong complained.
"It's normal. Before the opponent's artillery shells are used up, the siege efficiency will be slow." Sima Yi said.
"What if the opponent's shells don't run out?"
"Impossible. When Su Kou transferred Peicheng's 100,000 elite soldiers at night, he also transferred a large amount of Peicheng's supplies, including artillery shells. And Peicheng is firing huge cannons at such a high frequency, and the artillery shells will soon be used. over."
"We can't be in a hurry. You should think of a solution quickly."
"There is no other way for now but to continue to recover the boulders and start the second round of attack."
"What about the battering rams? We still have thirty battering rams, shouldn't we use them?" Po Kong asked.
"It is no longer needed for the time being. Who would have thought that they could dig out the moat so quickly. I have sent troops to dig the aqueduct. When the time is right, we will connect the aqueduct to the moat and the water in the moat will drain out. Then we will Filling with soil..."
"Sima Yi, what are you doing? We are making a desperate move to attack Peicheng this time, hoping to capture the city quickly through sneak attacks. If we follow your method, when will we be able to capture Peicheng?"
"Don't worry, I'm thinking of a solution." Sima Yi also frowned, seeming to find it difficult.
"Military advisor, there is a large open space in front of the north city gate. We can attack the city gate with a battering ram." Ye Wuxue suggested.
"Well, there must be a trap in that clearing."
"How do you know? Didn't Jiang Feng and Liu Ji pass by that open space at noon?"
"These are two completely different things. The two of them are light in weight and cannot trigger the trap. Once our troops pass by with their battering ram raised, they will definitely fall into the trap."
"Then what should we do?" Po Kong asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, now we can only take one step at a time."
"Alas." Po Kong became less and less confident in this Sima Yi.
At this time, the scout came and reported: "There are no moats in the southeast and southwest of Peicheng."
After hearing the news, Po Kong said excitedly: "I quickly gave up the north gate and went around to the southeast, where I can use the battering ram."
"Pei City is too big. If we start to circle now, we will have to get to that location after dark, and the enemy soldiers will definitely harass us during this period."
"This won't work, that won't work either. What's wrong with you? We came to fight Peicheng because we trusted you."
"Pokong, why are you so anxious? Why are you so anxious? You are almost disrupting my thoughts."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore." He immediately left the meeting.
After that, nothing changed. Sima Yi had no intention of taking a detour or using a battering ram. He still wanted to bet that there were not many shells left in the north city wall fort.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the catapults began a second round of onslaught. This time, three huge stones hit the city wall.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the catapults began their third round of attack. This time, five boulders hit the city wall.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
