When the morning sun shone on the head of Linfen City, Cao Yuan, who was wearing armor, also climbed up the city gate tower and looked at Bai Bojun outside the city.

The sunlight dispels the mist in the morning, and the smoke from the Baibo Army camp outside the city has also dissipated. The Baibo Army soldiers who entered the morning food began to form a formation according to the noisy horns and war drums, under the leadership of the team leader and the command of the generals, and drove out the camp one after another, facing Linfen, and completed the assembly in the open space outside the camp.

Cao Yuan held the hilt of the sword and tightened his hand. The 50,000 or 60,000 Baibo troops outside the city had been besieging Linfen City for more than half a month. At first, the Baibo army wanted to fight quickly, but in front of the Linfen City Defense, which had been repaired in a winter and spring, he still had his head bleeding.

The siege was indeed not the director of Bai Bo's army that hastily formed the army, but Guo Tai and others also had their own way of fighting against Jiancheng. They changed their attacks to consumption and siege, and frequently attacked and harassed the defenders in Linfen.

Last night, the soldiers of Baibo's army harassed the defenders of Linfen City in the middle of the night. This morning, the army gathered into the camp. It seemed that they wanted to consume the morale of the defenders of Linfen again.

Cao Yuan looked at the soldiers on the top of the city. The group of guards who had been sent back to the camp below the city to rest last night. Now the soldiers standing on the top of the city are all soldiers who have been repaired overnight and are very energetic.

The cruel and long siege battle is not only to hone the perseverance and combat skills of the Baibo soldiers who siege outside the city, but also to train the soldiers who guard the city.

Cao Yuan's troops had more than 1,500 soldiers. Yan Xing later sent a new soldier and two hundred soldiers from Jiangyi, plus one thousand Baibo prisoners and eight hundred civil servants. Cao Yuan could use more than 3,000 people to defend the city during the war, although more than 300 people were lost in the past half month.

But the tactics to deal with the harassment of the Baibo army are still more than enough.

Cao Yuan looked at the Baibo army outside the city again. The Baibo army's offensive this time was different from the past. A gorgeously decorated chariot slowly drove out among the army with numerous soldiers. There was a war drum on the chariot. In addition to the armored soldiers in the imperial chariot, two other soldiers stood on the chariot.

Among the two soldiers, one of them was covered with dazzling golden armor in the sun. He seemed to be quite powerful in the white-bo soldiers' strokes. Where the chariot passed, it instantly attracted a large number of white-bo soldiers' cheers. When the chariot reached the front of the team, the white-bo soldiers even cheered like thunder. They fought desperately with weapons, making waves of gold and iron clashes.

The soldier in golden armor, wearing golden armor, was still standing on the chariot, enjoying the fanatical support of the white soldiers in front of him. He looked at the many soldiers and horses, slowly stretched out his hands and pressed down amid the shouts, and the waves of shouting stopped one after another.

Next, the soldier in golden armor loudly declared a military oath in front of the formation of the Bai Bo soldiers, declaring the rewards and punishments for the soldiers to attack the city, and promised that after the city would be broken, the wealth and goods in the city would be plundered by the soldiers.

Cao Yuan stood on the top of the city, looking far away, but could not hear his words. He could only look at the outline of the golden armored soldier and the shouts of the white Bo soldiers on the top of the city along with the sound of the wind.

After the golden armored soldiers swore, the horns and drums of the Baibo army sounded one after another, and batches of Baibo soldiers began to strode towards the Linfen city wall.

During the previous siege, the moat in Linfen City had been transported by Baibo soldiers in the rain of arrows and carried several sections of earth and rocks. Now Baibo soldiers can directly access the walls of Linfen from those sections of roads filled with earth and rocks and sandbags.

"Sima, the Baibo thief is going to attack the city again. The city tower is coming and going, not a place where we live for a long time. If you have us here, you should go back to the city to command!"

Seeing Bai Bo's soldiers approaching the Linfen city wall and following Cao Yuan's army officers, they hurriedly advised him, wanting Cao Yuan to retreat to a safe position under the city first and give them the defense at the city.

Cao Yuan advised the soldiers on the city side of the city, and was ignored. He looked deep at the Bai Bo soldiers who were approaching outside the city. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said:

"No, this time, I will personally direct it!"

"Sima, the flowing arrow at the top of the city—"

"This time is different from the past. This time it seems that the White Bo thief outside the city is going to launch a general attack, and the momentum is extremely huge. The golden armored soldier just now, in my opinion, is probably Mr. Guo himself. You can send someone to the other walls quickly and warn the soldiers to guard the city to strictly guard it. Don't be stingy with the wooden, stone arrows this time, and you must defend the wall!"

Cao Yuan issued a military order firmly, and the military officials at each city could only accept the orders. As if to confirm Cao Yuan's guess, a large number of siege equipment in the Baibo Army camp outside the city were quickly carried and pushed out.

In addition to the siege equipment, siege hammers and ladders that were commonly seen in the past half month, after demolishing a section of fence, Bai Bo's army also pushed two giants out of the camp.

Cao Yuan looked at it and saw two ladder trucks close to the height of the city wall.

The ladder truck is an upgraded version of the ladder. Compared with the ladder made of several bamboo ladders, the ladder truck has a base and a baffle. Although it advances slowly and cannot be as good as the ladder that can attack on any section of the city wall, it is a giant that can attack or defend.

Once it approaches the city wall, the thick base can ensure that the ladder truck is not pushed down by the Linfen defenders, and the baffle can also block the dense rain of arrows on the city head for the siege soldiers. The Baibo soldiers only need to hold weapons in their hands and feet to rush up to the city head through the steps and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders on the city wall.

Fortunately, this kind of ladder truck is difficult to make and takes time and effort. Although the Bai Bo Army gathered the craftsmen in the army and worked hard for days, they could only temporarily make two ladder trucks in half a month.

Although there were only two ladder trucks, Cao Yuan did not dare to take it lightly. He knew that the soldiers guarding the city had no experience in dealing with such siege equipment. Once these ladder trucks approached the city wall, the consequences of shaking the situation would occur. He thought about it and hurriedly sent people to secretly summon some elite soldiers to deal with these two giants.

Cao Yuan stared at the two ladder trucks. These two giants were not as flexible as other siege hammers and ladders. They could only approach the city wall along the filled moats. The path they passed had been determined. After calculating and estimating its propulsion speed, Cao Yuan turned his attention back to the city and prepared to solve the ladders and siege hammers that were driving the front station for the ladder trucks before approaching Yuntai City.

"Shoot the arrows, throw the stones, hurry up!"

On the city wall, there were special military officials in each section of the city wall where the Baibo Army attacked, and the Baibo Army archers under the city also reached within the range one after another and began to shoot arrows on the defenders on the city top.

For a time, arrows flew up and down the city walls, and from time to time, soldiers from both sides fell down.

There were also many arrows flying towards the city gate tower where Cao Yuan was, while Cao Yuan's personal guards were tightly guarding Cao Yuan, holding a big siege to protect Cao Yuan's front and side. Cao Yuan could only keep moving his eyes through the big siege to observe the offensive outside the city and the defense on the city walls.

At present, although the attack of Bai Bo soldiers was different from the past and was extremely fierce, Cao Yuan and the soldiers guarding the city were prepared and the response was in line with the rules. In addition, the soldiers guarding the city were condescending, and the soldiers guarding the city were not hesitant to be willing to be wood, stone, arrows, and the Bai Bo army, who attacked the city, suffered considerable casualties in a short period of time.

"Bang bang--"

The falling rocks in the direction of the city gate were never stopped. The target of the siege hammer carried by the Baibo soldiers could only be the Linfen city gate. Therefore, the city guards who were waiting for the city guards were waiting for the Baibo soldiers to approach the city gate with heavy siege hammers, immediately counterattacked. The stones of different sizes were smashed into the city under the joint efforts of the city guards.

The small stone could only knock down one or two white-bo soldiers, but the huge rock had a terrifying lethality against the white-bo soldiers who were in a dense siege formation. After the two huge rocks were raised and pushed down by the lever of the city gate tower, a wave of blood was suddenly set off under the city. A big rock smashed the siege hammer, and the other big rock hit the white-bo soldiers on one side. In an instant, the shield was broken and the weapons were cut off. All the white-bo soldiers who were hit turned into meat pie, and the other white-bo soldiers who were overwhelmed were also wailing and unable to move.

The siege hammers in the direction of the city gate have a fixed path, so the soldiers guarding the city can still wait for the rabbits, and only after all, they suddenly attacked, pushed down the rock, and smashed them all over.

But the Baibo soldiers carrying the cloud ladder are much more flexible. They can approach and aim at the defensive air above the city wall and attack a weak section of the city wall. The huge rock is not suitable for hitting the soldiers carrying the cloud ladder. Small stones can only threaten a small number of Baibo soldiers and cannot break the cloud ladder.

But Cao Yuan had a long way to deal with this. In addition to the archers on the top of the city, there were several soldiers guarding the city carrying push rods on the city wall, and wandering around. Once the ladder of the white-bo soldiers was on the wall, they had to hurry over and use the solid push rod to push the ladder down. As well as some white-bo soldiers who were climbing on the ladder, they would be thrown to death.

The battle was fierce, with arrows coming and going, and the offense and defense sides suffered casualties, but in fact, the most important focus of both sides was on the two ladder cars.

This kind of ladder cannot hit the rock or push the push rod. Once it approaches the city wall, put down the baffle as a bridge, allowing a large number of white soldiers under the city to rush to the city without any obstacles. The defensive front on the city will be in danger.

The soldiers guarding the city fought bloody battles, carrying the ladders. The Baibo soldiers who attacked the city were unable to attack the city head, but the two ladder cars were still slowly and firmly following the fixed path.

Finally, it took a long time for these two ladder trucks to slowly approach the city wall under the push of a large number of white soldiers.

At this time, the Baibo soldiers also burst into thunderous shouts. Cao Yuan saw that the golden armored soldier on the chariot supervising battle. After seeing two ladders successfully approaching the Linfen city wall, he immediately took over the drumsticks from the other soldier who was beating the drum. He voluntarily waved the drumsticks and beat the drum vigorously to cheer for the Baibo soldiers who were sieging the city.

When Bai Bo soldiers nearby saw that their Daqu commander was wearing armor and cheering for the soldiers who were sieging the city, they were all excited and shouting "Breaking the City", and rushed towards the ladder cart.

From near to far, the fanatical atmosphere of the Baibo soldiers spread throughout the audience, and black trends rushed towards the ladder truck. The momentum and scene were extremely spectacular, and the shouts shook the world. Even the soldiers guarding the city fighting on the top of the city could not help but be shocked by this situation and suddenly changed their colors.

"Kill!"

After a large number of white-bo soldiers climbed onto the ladder cart steps, the white-bo soldiers on the top floor began to gradually untie the ropes, and the thick baffle fell down one by one like a suspension bridge until they hit the walls on the city wall heavily.

"Bang--Start!"

When the baffle hit the walls at the top of the city, a group of guards guarding the city, holding the big tiles and lying on their bodies and ambushed appeared one after another, took out a series of stone-capping ropes from under them, and exerted force together with the command, almost at the same time.

"Bang-Crack-Crack-Crack"

The sound of stones hitting, the sound of guardrail breaking, and the sound of clay pot breaking sounded one after another. The Baibo soldiers holding shields on the ladder truck had been on guard against the baffle, and were attacked by the fierce rain of arrows from the soldiers guarding the city. Although they were suffering from the storm caused by the stone-capping belt, many soldiers were directly smashed and dropped from the ladder truck, but the other Baibo soldiers who had been waiting for it all made a shout of killing, speeding up, climbing up the stairs, trying to pass the baffle, rushing to the top of the city, and launching a close-range battle with the defenders on the city wall.

However, the White Bo Soldier who shouted upward soon discovered something was wrong. These stone-casting belts were not only tied to stones, but also some clay pots. The clay pots were mixed with sulfur, saltpeter, oil and other fire-induced objects. The pungent smell rushed into the nose of the White Bo Soldier who was first onto the top floor.

"Not good, it's fire attack!"

A white-bo soldier shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, but now, the arrow is on the string, how can he stop the white-bo soldier's charge upward? Countless white-bo soldiers are still climbing up the stairs below and rushing up desperately.

"Swoosh swish swish--"
