"How can such a giant be destroyed?" Of course Zhao Wei wanted to destroy Liu Zhang's well, but how could it be so easy?

"Prefect Zhao, Jinglan is afraid of fire, you can shoot it with a rocket!"

"Yeah, why did I forget!"

After being reminded by Gan Ning, Zhao Wei suddenly realized.

This thing is made of wood, as long as one piece of wood catches fire, the whole well rail will be ruined!

"Quick, get ready for the rocket! Destroy the well!"

It's a pity that the soldiers and prefects in the city were all suppressed by the arrows shot from the well. Zhao Wei shouted several times but no one paid attention.

The pontoon bridge on the moat is getting more and more perfect, if this continues, the enemy army will jump over!

Finally, at this critical moment, reinforcements from the city rushed over, and more than 3,000 people rushed to the top of the city, immediately forming a firepower countermeasure.

However, because the well fence is higher than the city wall, Liu Zhang's army can be condescending, so the defenders of the city can only form suppression, and the damage to Liu Zhang's army is not great.

"General Gan, hurry up and prepare rockets, and burn Liu Zhang and these bandits to death!"

Zhao Wei hurriedly yelled to Gan Ning who was beside him, letting Jing Lan rampage on the edge of the city wall, the casualties caused would definitely be unacceptable.

Gan Ning took the order to go, and not long after, the brazier and arrows were carried to the wall.

With the Rockets around, Zhao Wei's confidence suddenly increased.

"Soldiers, fire the rockets and burn these thieves to death!"

The soldiers defending the city were not mobs, and Zhao Wei had been training all these times.

Their movements were swift, and the flaming arrows were quickly drawn into the bowstrings.

"put!"

With one order, more than a thousand rockets were fired at the same time, with only one target, Jinglan in front of you!

whoosh whoosh...

Zhao Wei thought that the rockets would all be inserted into the well, and then quickly ignite a fire. But the actual situation is very different from it.

None of the rockets shot into the frame of Jinglan, but seemed to hit the wall, and then all of them fell to the ground.

Just in this gap, a rain of arrows was shot out from the well, and countless soldiers defending the city were shot down to the ground.

"Why! Why on earth is this?"

Zhao Wei couldn't comprehend the scene he saw in front of him. It was obviously a wooden well rail, why did he bounce all the bows and arrows away?

"Prefect Zhao, this well is not quite right, it seems that something has wrapped it up!"

After Zhao Wei heard Gan Ning's reminder, he poked his head out again with an arrow, and found some clues.

There seemed to be a layer of animal skin on the outside of Jinglan's skeleton. After the arrows hit it, they all bounced back to the ground without leaving a trace.

"General Gan, what should I do?"

Zhao Wei was very anxious. Although the two wells would not cause the loss of Jiangzhou City, the casualties of the soldiers defending the city would definitely increase.

Once they can't solve the two well fences, then Liu Zhang will put up three, four, five or even countless ones!

Sooner or later, the Jinglan outside Jiangzhou City will completely collapse the defenders.

"Prefect Zhao, Huo Gong must be helpless, there are at most hundreds of people in the two wells, let them go for now!"

"You can let the soldiers concentrate on attacking the soldiers who built the moat. As long as Liu Zhang's soldiers can't cross the moat, Jiangzhou City will naturally be able to sit back and relax!"

Zhao Wei nodded sadly, what Gan Ning said was not without reason. The number of soldiers that can be carried by the two wells is limited, and the bows and arrows that can be carried must also be limited.

Over time, the effect of the well barrier will drop a lot.

From when Zhao Wei just climbed the tower to now, the frequency and density of attacks on Jinglan have dropped a lot, obviously because the arrows are not enough.

"Soldiers, don't worry about the archers on the well, they have no bows and arrows! Focus on attacking the soldiers on the moat and shoot them back!"

Zhao Wei gave an order, and thousands of soldiers began to turn their spears and attack Liu Zhang who was building the pontoon bridge.

The effect was remarkable. The soldiers of the infrastructure under the city were unprepared. As the dense arrow rain swept in, the soldiers began to flee in a hurry, leaving many corpses lying on the side of the moat.

The battle lasted for a while, and as the arrows on the well were exhausted, Liu Zhang's army began to retreat slowly, and today's siege battle was considered to be over.

Gan Ning accompanied Zhao Wei to patrol the city gate when he suddenly heard a kind voice calling.

"Xingba!"

"Brother Shen! Brother Lou!"

Gan Ning was overjoyed, unexpectedly it was his best friends Shen Mi and Lou Fa.

"Greetings to Governor Zhao!"

Shen Mi and Lou Fa stepped forward quickly, nodded to Gan Ning, and immediately paid homage to Zhao Wei, the lord of Jiangzhou.

"General Shen, General Lou, thank you for your hard work!"

Shen Mi, although Lou Fa is not Zhao Wei's direct descendant, he can still be called a general under the tent.

Now against Liu Zhang's invasion, Zhao Wei still needs to rely on two more people.

"Prefect Zhao, I heard from the brothers of the other three sects that Liu Zhang has arranged two wells outside each city wall. If this goes on, there will be three sides and four sides in a short time. By then, Jiangzhou City will be in danger..."

Although Jing Lan did not actually cause much damage, the visual shock still made Shen Mi and Lou Fa fearful.

"Hey! This government doesn't know. During the previous battle, General Gan proposed to burn it with rockets, but Liu Zhang, a traitor, must have been prepared. I don't know how to get a layer of something on the side of the well, so that our rockets can't be fired." There is no room for development!"

Zhao Wei was almost terribly worried. After finally getting the news that Liu Zhang was about to run out of food, he would face the huge threat of Jinglan again.

Gan Ning glanced at the crowd, and made another suggestion to Zhao Wei.

"Prefect Zhao, why don't you send elite troops out of the city to make a surprise attack and destroy the well outside the city in one fell swoop!"

"Liu Zhang's army is short of food and grass, so it will not last long. As long as these wells are destroyed, Liu Zhang will retreat when he sees that there is no hope of breaking the city!"

Gan Ning's strategy is definitely the most effective solution now, but Zhao Wei firmly shook his head and rejected Gan Ning's suggestion without hesitation.

"No, no, no! You must not leave the city!"

"Xingba, you don't know how treacherous Liu Zhang is, as long as we leave the city, we will definitely fall into the tricks of this traitor."

"Keep going, ten days at the most, Liu Zhang will definitely leave after running out of food!"

The lessons learned by Jia Long and Ren Qi are still in front of us. How dare Zhao Wei go out of the city to fight, even if Liu Zhang retreats, Zhao Wei has no intention of chasing him. He didn't even think about how Liu Zhang would respond to another attack by supplementing food and grass.

Shen Mi and Lou Fa looked at each other, with deep disappointment in their eyes.

Zhao Wei had been frightened out of his nerve by Liu Zhang, and he didn't even understand the truth that if you defend for a long time, you will lose.

The changes in the expressions of the two were all caught by Gan Ning who was at the side.

"General Gan, you can inspect the city defense again, and I will go back to the mansion to rest for a while."

"Obey!"
