Gu Han looked at the enemy who was pressing into the fort from all directions, and his face turned pale. The fort was not like a regular city, and it did not occupy a large area. At first glance, it looked like a small reef in the huge waves of the sea, which could be flooded by sea water at any time.

"Judge Gu, a small bay has small benefits. Kanyan is quite experienced in building a bay. The easy and difficult level of this bay is not lower than that of the Shijiawu we played in Yingzhou. But this time, it was just our defense, and the opponent attacked." Li Rui seemed to see through Gu Han's thoughts and said with a smile.

Gu Han nodded. The construction of this fort was indeed a painstaking effort. The base was extremely wide, and the main body of the fort was built on the base, and there was a small platform between the base and the main body.

This small platform will cause great trouble to the attacker. The siege ladder must be placed flatter to reach the fort, which also means that the ladder is longer, but longer means that the distance is longer. In this case, one step further will be almost the difference between life and death.

What's more, last night, the soldiers of the Right Guards raised the city wall again. After watering, they were as hard as iron after a night, which made the possibility of directly loading the ladder onto the bottom of the dock.

Such a dock is essentially a military fortress. It is not as big as a city, but it is even more difficult to attack.

"The fort built by Kan Yan has worked hard and I don't know how many people have died, but now it has become a fortress for us to harvest them. I think he must be extremely uncomfortable now." Gu Han, who was slightly relaxed, said with a smile.

"That's natural, it won't feel good if anyone else." Li Rui laughed.

The sound of war drums beating under the city interrupted the laughter of the two of them, and their eyes fell in the distance. From the enemy array in the west, a team of about two thousand people walked out, carrying the ladder, and heading towards the fort.

When they walked about half the distance, war drums also sounded at the other three directions at the same time, and enemies from all sides slowly pressed in at the same time.

"It was indeed the unlucky guy who took the lead in attacking Kan Yan." Li Rui said: "The other three directions, except for Liu Siyuan's headquarters in the north, the other two directions are also slave troops."

"Will Kanyan be the main attack direction?" Gu Han asked.

Li Rui nodded: "This fort was built by Kanyan, of course he knew where the weakest. Naturally, he took the lead. In the other three directions, except for Liu Siyuan's headquarters, which is a feint attack, others will also be attacked."

"The main attack in three directions?" Gu Han was a little puzzled.

"They have a lot of people!" Li Rui explained: "Also, Liu Siyuan did not treat these slave soldiers as humans. If they die, they will die. They can catch more people."

Gu Han nodded first, then shook his head.

"Judge Gu, go to the back to watch the battle!" Li Rui said: "I won't have the energy to take care of you when I fight."

"I don't need your care." Gu Han said angrily: "My knife can kill people, and I have killed thieves."

Li Rui patted Gu Han on the shoulder: "Judge Gu, you were sent by the young master to negotiate with Zhang Zhongwu, and I can also see that the young master values ​​you very much. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall and fights a large army, unlike your previous fight alone. A little accident is enough to make you have some accidents. I don't want to see such a situation."

Seeing that Gu Han was still refuting, Li Rui continued, "I still have enough energy now, and I don't need you to go into battle. When I really have insufficient staff, I will never be polite when I use you. Now, you should go and rest!"

Gu Han thought for a while, nodded, and turned around and walked inside.

When he walked in, he heard Li Rui shouting loudly: "In this round of attack, you are not allowed to use strong crossbows or crossbow arrows. You can only use stones, wood, knifes and spears in your hands."

At first I was a little puzzled, but then Gu Han figured it out.

The first one to attack was the slave army. These people had weak protection and were not strong in overall combat capabilities. Li Rui did not want to use weapons such as crossbows and arrows on them. Of course, these sharp long-range weapons must be kept for Liu Siyuan's headquarters. You should know that although Li Ze's troops have always been more and more good at weapons such as crossbows and arrows, they don't know how long it will take to fight this time. Li Rui chose to be cautious and prepared for any eventuality, which is the experienced performance of a long-standing general who has experienced many battles.

The slave soldiers carefully held up all kinds of things that could withstand arrows, especially the troops of Kanyan. They were able to lead the power of the right guard's crossbow arrows as dense as locusts in the field. At this moment, they attacked again. Even if they did not have the shield of the Ji family, even if they held a wooden board, they would give them great psychological comfort.

It was quiet above the fort. They walked through the range of the powerful crossbow. They walked through the range of the crossbow machine, but did not encounter any blows. They walked until the range where they could launch their attacks. It was still quiet above the fort.

Apart from the flying flags, they could not even see a soldier from the right guard.

"attack!"

When I walked to this place, I would like to stretch my head and shrink my head. Kan Yan raised his sword and shouted, and more than 2,000 subordinates also rushed forward with a shout. From time to time, sporadic feather arrows shot up the city, but there was still no counterattack on the fort.

Accompanied by the sound of banging, one particularly lengthened ladder after another was built on the top of the city. These ladders were made overnight according to the height of the docks. Now the docks have grown one piece overnight, making the ladders about one meter away from the top of the castle. To climb to this place, you need to climb with your bare hands. This of course gives the defenders greater convenience.

It was strange on the battlefield. In three directions, the slave soldiers set up hundreds of cloud ladders and launched an attack at the same time, but no feather arrow shot down from the city.

"Father, what do Li Rui want to do?" Liu Siyuan's second son Liu Dai asked in a strange way, "Why don't he use long-range attacks? If he uses them, he is afraid that our army under the fort will lose at least half."

"Li Rui looks down on these people." Liu Siyuan took a deep breath: "He doesn't want to waste crossbow arrows, but he must have another way to deal with it."

Before Liu Siyuan finished speaking, a huge sound came from the city wall.

On the city wall, huge horizontal trees appeared out of thin air and smashed hard towards the ladder leaning against the city wall.

"Play the stick!" Liu Dai said in a lost voice.

It is indeed a modified stick.

The right guard tied several bamboos together with excellent elasticity, and then tied a tree trunk as thick as a sea bowl across the top. What was even more shocking was that iron bars were penetrated on the branches, and the exposed part was cut out with an oblique angle. With a huge sound, these crossbars bounced up from behind the city wall and then smashed downward towards the ladders.

There was almost no accident. Under such a major blow, the ladder immediately broke down. The slave army, who was climbing up the ladder, immediately screamed and fell one by one.

After a round of blows, the sticks were quickly pulled back by the right guard and once again disappeared behind the city wall. The only thing that could climb to the top of the ladder and try hard to jump up was the part of Kanyan attacking from the northwest corner. In this direction, there were several ladders that could avoid the blows of these sticks due to the corner of the wall.

But their outcome will not be better than attackers from other places.

This distance of more than one meter higher became their life-seeking Yama.

A series of spears were waiting for them in this direction. Whenever someone emerged, dozens or hundreds of long-term spears immediately stabbed in a flash.

The offense looks fierce.

The defense seems calm.

But the result was a bit tragic. After an attack, the corpses of the slave army were covered with the fortress.

"Collection of powerful crossbows, archers, and provide support." Liu Siyuan stared at the fort and said.

At Liu Siyuan's headquarters, powerful crossbows were pushed out, and rows of archers also emerged from the crowd and pressed towards the fort.

Amid the thunderous drum sounds, the whistling sound of a powerful crossbow resounds throughout the battlefield.

Liu Siyuan's powerful crossbow was made very simple, but in fact it was just spears. Apart from a spearhead and a wooden pole, the flight trajectory of such a powerful crossbow was extremely unstable, so of course it was not accurate, but it was because it had many numbers and shot hundreds of them at once.

Li Rui finally took a little more serious.

Because the wall that is built with snow and frozen with snow will collapse for a small part as long as one is hit, and some powerful crossbows will shoot into the air and turn around and dive down. This will pose a great threat to the soldiers behind the city wall. If you hit it, half of your life will be gone.

The black feathered arrows fell from the air, and the soldiers of the Right Guard raised their shields, and the sound of jingling was endless. Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the morale of the slave army was greatly shocked and they launched an attack again.

This time, in many places, their ladder finally reached the city wall.

The stick was raised again and fell heavily again.

But this time, casualties finally began to occur in the city.

Even though the soldiers who operated the sticks were covered by the soldiers, some were still injured and some died in the whistling rain of arrows.

Once, twice, three times.

Kan Yan was about to cry. His subordinates had not been able to successfully climb up the city wall during the three attacks, but instead they had the corpses under the city spread layer after layer.

It was not until behind him that the horn of retreating finally sounded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated first as if he was amnesty.

"Father, it's still effective. Why did you withdraw your troops?" Liu Dai asked.

"Our catapult has not been built yet. Just crossbow arrows will not pose much threat to the city. Such an attack will only give Li Rui a large number of opportunities to kill and injure the slave army. These people are useful to keep them." Liu Siyuan said. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, at least a dozen catapults can be built. Today's attack is just an appetizer. I understand what Li Rui means. He will never break through. He will be here to stand for support."
