Chapter 165 The Proud Jiang Yi
In ancient wars, the city wall was definitely the defender's biggest support in the entire city defense battle.
With a city wall, you can not only prevent the enemy from approaching, but also attack the enemy from a high position.
It can be said that with the protection of the city wall, the combat power of the soldiers defending the city can be doubled.
Thinking back to later generations, a Xiangyang city blocked the Mongol army for how many years? It even killed a Mongol Khan.
This is enough to show that siege warfare is difficult. Now, what the players need to face is a fortified city.
Li Jichen looked at Shouchun City a mile away in front of him, and his head felt heavy.
This city wall was completely built according to the capital level. Li Jichen couldn't figure out how Yuan Shu built such a city just a few days after he became emperor.
Or should I say that this guy has been preparing for this from a long time ago?
But this problem is no longer important now. What is important is how to defeat Shouchun.
A city wall at the capital level is not that easy to break through.
The city wall is more than 20 meters high and more than ten meters thick. It can be used for horse racing. There are also bursts of light on the wall. Li Jichen knows that it is probably the defensive formation of the city wall. It can strengthen the city wall.
This means that it is simply a delusion to destroy the city wall and invade Shouchun.
"It seems that we can only attack the city with ants." A man with a resolute face next to Li Jichen said in a deep voice.
Li Jichen knew him, he was a commander sent by the Dragon Kingdom.
In other words, the 250,000 people who came from the Dragon Kingdom were actually managed by this person.
"The ants are attacking the city?" Li Jichen was stunned when he heard the strong man's words, and then said: "Commander Jiang Yi, since you want the ants to attack the city, you can give it a try."
The soldiers who came from the Dragon Kingdom also formed a legion according to the rules here. Jiang Yi was the commander of the legion. Since his legion was opened through the back door, the total number was as many as 200,000.
When Jiang Yi saw what Li Jichen said, he did not hesitate and directly gave orders to the people in his army.
How should I put it? Jiang Yi and the others were originally elite, but during this period they used the back door to gain a lot of points, so their overall strength has caught up with the players in front of them.
Coupled with some traditions, it can enforce orders and prohibitions, so it is still very beautiful to watch in large corps battles.
Following Jiang Yi's order, another phalanx of ten thousand people immediately began to advance forward. Twenty of these player soldiers carried the siege ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
Jiang Yi is determined to make his legion's reputation this time. After all, they are professionals in fighting!
Even, in order to make his army famous in one battle, Jiang Yi read a lot of ancient books.
These ancient books are stored in the Dragon Kingdom National Library and cannot be touched by ordinary people.
Jiang Yi felt that he was a stable boy! After all, he had learned a lot of ancient siege techniques from ancient books.
Don't think that siege in ancient times was just about rushing in swarm. If you really did this, the soldiers defending the city would definitely laugh to death.
Under Jiang Yi's command, the player soldiers divided the labor and cooperated. Those who carried the ladder carried the ladder, and those who raised the shield raised the shield. It seemed very organized.
But when they were a hundred steps closer to the city wall, a large number of arrows flew out from the top of the city, and they continued like rain.
The sharp arrow hit the shield, making a crackling sound.
Some of the arrows even missed and shot directly through the shield due to the spiritual energy blessing of Yuan's soldiers themselves.
Some player soldiers were hit by such arrows and turned into a white light and disappeared in place.
However, such casualties are not enough for a player group of 10,000 people.
The player soldiers braved the rain of arrows from Sergeant Yuan and set up the siege ladder on the edge of the city wall.
This kind of specially-made siege ladder has a curved hook at the top, which can hook the edge of the city wall, making it impossible for the defenders to push it down.
The hook is made of fine iron, and it is impossible to cut it off. Therefore, if Yuan Jun's soldiers want to knock down the siege ladder, they can only pry it up first.
But is the siege ladder so easy to pry up? If it was really that easy, this thing would have been eliminated long ago.
Seeing his own soldiers putting up the siege ladder on the city wall, Jiang Yi had a smile on his face.
The other players watching the show also smiled, but their smiles were a little bit malicious.
"Brother, look at these newcomers, why are they so reckless? They attack the city directly."
"Don't talk about it. Newcomers are like this. They think that as long as they are a little more reckless, it will be fine and there will be a good show soon."
"Whatever needs to be said, the cooperation of these people is pretty good. You can see how clear their division of labor is."
"What's the point of having a clear division of labor? You'll find out later when they start climbing the wall." A man who was obviously an experienced player looked at the soldier players who were about to climb the wall, with a smile on his lips.
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
"Well, in that case, does anyone need melon seed mineral water spicy strips?" A player who was obviously preparing to watch a show suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the players around him turned their heads and looked at that player.
"Brother, you are not being authentic. You are just watching a show. Why are you selling melon seeds and mineral water? This is too bad! Pack melon seeds."
"That's right, that's right, it's so unethical of you to do this. Make me some spicy strips."
"You talk about being shameless, but your body is so honest. Why are you so shameless? Can you be more generous and say it like me? Brother, I want a pig's trotter."
When Jiang Yi heard the words of these players, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. He felt that his fists were hard and hard, and he wanted to hit people!
"Ignorance! When my soldiers attack, you will stop laughing!" Jiang Yi suppressed his anger.
He knew that he and these players were not on the same journey. He was a professional! Arguing with these players by himself would be degrading himself!
Jiang Yi thought that he would give these players who looked down on him a good slap in the face soon!
Thinking of this, he turned back and prepared to watch how his soldiers attacked the city.
As a result, when he turned around, he was completely stunned.
I saw a soldier player holding a shield in one hand and a steel knife in his mouth, bravely climbing up the siege ladder.
And Sergeant Yuan's soldiers were not idle either. These soldiers raised rocks the size of human heads and threw them at the soldiers and players.
One player couldn't withstand such a strong force, his feet were unstable, and he fell directly.
Seeing this, the soldier player immediately tightened his grip on the ladder, lowered his body, and sped up his feet.
At this moment, the archers who were still throwing arrows to block the players below the city turned around and started shooting at the players climbing the city wall.
Especially the turrets on the city wall can just cover players who climb the wall.
Moreover, these players all faced the enemy with their backs. They did not expect that they would be attacked from behind.
So, for a moment, the soldier players were hit by arrows one after another, and then turned into streaks of white light.
At this time, the players were attacked from two sides, so they turned around subconsciously, trying to defend themselves against the missing arrows behind them.
But as soon as they turned around, Yuan Jun on the top of the city pushed out several large pots. There were blazing flames underneath the big pots.
Chapter completed!
