The night was like a huge monster devoured everything, but the clusters of flames lit up the Northern Wei army on the other side illuminated half of the sky unscrupulously.

Bai Yuelu predicted that there was no mistake at all. Under the double interweaving of fire and night, with a tight sound of horns, several large ships appeared on the river surface. These large ships were very deep in draft, almost level with the river bank. Near the river bank, the bottom of the ship was constantly rubbing with the underground riverbed, making a harsh sound.

But no one will care, because the service life of these big ships is not necessary to consider at all, and these big ships only need to work tonight.

The Northern Wei army was not good at water warfare, but it seemed to be better than the Southern Dynasties in terms of fortifications. The reason is that the Northern dynasties have been more chaotic than the Southern dynasties in the past century. Their army has been more warfare, especially many large nomadic clans' armies are always accustomed to walking everything with the army, including their families and cattle and sheep.

They were often able to march and fight with many heavyweights that made the Southern Dynasties army feel incredible. The Southern Dynasties army often defended the city and was better at fighting defensive wars and siege wars.

When these large ships were forcibly towed to a proper position, large ordnances rolled onto the decks of these large ships from rolling wood, the ballast water began to be discharged. The Northern Wei soldiers like boatmen had all gathered in the floating bridge or shallow water, preparing to tow these large ships towards Jiangxinzhou.

"Huha! Huha!..."

Flashes of yelling sounds like yelling while working in the fields kept ringing, full of the wild smell as if no one was around.

However, all the firelights on the walls of Zhongli City have been completely extinguished, and the absolute darkness forms a sharp contrast with the firelights on the river surface and on the opposite side.

In the darkness, Lin Yi was still standing silently. In Zhongli City behind him, not to mention the exhausted soldiers, even the women and children who had not had time to leave the city had already taken action.

Zhongli City said it was big or small. Although he didn't know what arrangements Wang Chaozong and Qi Zhuji would make, at least a large number of thorns were already densely packed behind the city wall.

It should be because they were worried that the other party's catapult would throw something burning, and all the water tanks and dragons in the city that rescued the extinguished people gathered here.

A large amount of military ordnance from the warehouse in the city was also being transported over, and all the horses had their iron hooves removed and were wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

Everyone in the city no longer considered whether these war horses would suffer from serious illness in the future, and they only considered whether they could survive tonight.

Lin Yi's mood was completely calmed down at this time.

He was born in the generals and saw the most common ones since childhood were generals and old soldiers, but until this time, he seemed to share the same breath and destiny with the soldiers who had been fighting on the border.

He stayed in Jiankang City for the longest time. He was used to seeing his classmates' long-standing dance, and saw the selfishness of the powerful and powerful. Even on the battlefield, he also saw the cowardice of the Southern Dynasties army.

However, he still had friends like Qi Zhuji Xiao Suxin. The ordinary soldiers in the city, the private salt dealers, the ordinary women and children... still allowed him to see the courage of the Southern Dynasty people.

It was rumored that the Northern Wei army was so brave, but he did not think that the Southern Dynasty people were inferior to those.

The bravery of these Southern Dynasties still made him proud of being born in the Southern Dynasties and growing up in the Southern Dynasties.

...

"After the city wall is broken, when their cultivators and cavalry begin to officially rush to the city, you still have to be in the forefront."

Jian Wenhou came to his side at some point and said softly and seriously, "I don't care what they can arrange after this city wall, but after the city wall is broken, it is not the case that the pontoon bridge was blocked before. The limited Northern Wei soldiers could enter the city. No matter how powerful their arrangement is, even if they can kill thousands of people in an instant, they will be destroyed in a moment."

"You probably haven't experienced tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and practitioners who charge like a tide, but I've experienced a lot. I've seen many elite troops of thousands of people, which are flooded in an instant. After a military gap of more than ten times, the enemy is like a river breaking. Unless there is a mainstay that blocks a large number of enemy troops, it is possible to hold on for some time."

Jian Wenhou continued slowly, "I don't know what kind of martial arts He Xiuxing taught you, but I'm sure you are more energetic now than before waking up. You may not have any problem in fighting all night, as long as you can live."

"The number of practitioners in this coalition will be greater than that of practitioners in the border army, but no matter what kind of army it is, the number of practitioners in the divine mind realm will not be many. Fortunately, you are already strong enough. It is difficult for practitioners in the Chengtian realm to hurt you, so I only need to concentrate on dealing with some extremely powerful aliens among practitioners in the divine mind realm and practitioners in the Chengtian realm realm. If nothing unexpected happens, I can fight with you for a long time."

"The longer you live, the more they cannot kill you, the more hatred you will attract, and the center of gravity of this army will shift towards you and me. Many of them will even forget that their real purpose is to attack this city and occupy this city. In this way, if the people of your Jiange can come earlier than expected, then a miracle may occur."

Lin Yi listened carefully, and he didn't dare to miss any sentence.

When Jian Wenhou stopped talking to him, he nodded and said, "Senior, you value Jiange so much. Do you think our Jiange is very powerful?"

The reason he asked this was because in the eyes of most people in the Southern Dynasty, Jiange was already old, weak, sick and disabled, and was negligible. Even the generals of the royal family and Zhongzhou Army thought so.

"Others think so, I don't think so."

Jian Wenhou smiled sarcastically, "If Jiange is so easy to deal with, I still need to wait until this time to fight with you here? I would have gone over and killed you with one sword."

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.

He was the master of Jiange at this time. Some people really felt that Jiange was powerful, so he was of course a little proud and happy.

...

The night is getting thicker and thicker, but there are more and more fires on Jiangxinzhou.

The military advisor Xi Ruyu, who was in the army, arrived at the edge of Jiangxinzhou.

His feet were stomped on the wet and soft soil and slightly sunk into it.

A large ship had been towed and stranded not far from him. Two huge catapults on the ship were higher than the city walls and shone by the fire like two monsters.

He was very calm, but he didn't want to waste his time.

He didn't look at anyone on the ship, he stretched out his hand and clenched his fists and waved it upwards.

A shrill military order suddenly rang out on the boat.

Dong! Dong!

Two sounds of thunder falling to the ground sounded at the same time.

The bow of the big ship looked extremely miserable and hit the mud on the shallows, splashing countless mud waves.

The two waves of air and vibration made the Northern Wei soldiers on the deck feel a little unsteady, and they feel like standing on the edge of the cliff like jumping off a mountain.

This is the origin of the name of this catapult.

Two huge black shadows flew into the sky with a terrifying howling sound, and then fell violently!
