Chapter 1573 Siege War
After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to draw lots to arrange who will attack, who will support, who will attack first, and who will attack later. In this way, although there are some disadvantages, in general, it is still fair.
This is also impossible. The main reason is that there are too many countries participating in the world, and there is no unified command. Everyone is afraid of being cheated by others. Some people have even thought about it in advance. After the fall of the Hays Empire, the world will be enemies of each other. So at this time, we cannot say that I am sieging the city together, and this is still a friendly army, and that is impossible. The greater the loss now, the weaker it will be.
Although there are many shortcomings in determining by drawing lots, it is fair in general. So after the matter is done, everyone pays great attention and knows that there are many things, and they cannot be too concerned about them, so they can only do so.
A large number of people, with the order, began to pave the way to the city wall with catapults and long-range stone cannons. This was to first suppress the city wall and a core strike. First, forcefully suppress the city wall, and then take the opportunity to approach the city wall to attack, climb, and break through the city gate, so as to gain a good combat advantage.
Of course, this kind of siege method is a traditional old routine, but as the saying goes, the routine is not distinguished from the old and the new, as long as it is easy to use. And now, for attacking the Imperial Capital City, this old routine is only used, because the army of all countries who came here have already seen it clearly. The Imperial Capital City has already made complete preparations. This epidemic prevention measure is very strong. It does not mean that you can use any means to open it. Then you can only be so upright and follow the steps and use the normal siege mode to attack.
The general of the army who got the lottery looked a little ugly, but he did not regret it. If he had any words and deeds on such a scale, he would have a very bad reputation for his country and himself. This is something that everyone needs to notice. Therefore, when this long-range weapon began to suppress the city, the general was honestly preparing for the soldiers under his command.
Everyone knows very well that the Hays Empire has always been fighting against all nations in the past, occupying a relatively strong position and having an overwhelming advantage. Although the Hays Empire is different from the past, it is not the case when everyone is fighting.
Pay attention to it often, knowing that this situation is not very good, knowing that this battle is not so easy to fight, and as the main attacking team, it is very likely that they will go up to die first, in order to save their lives and for themselves, no one dares to be careless.
However, compared with previous battles, there is another thing that, in everyone's opinion, the previous battles were nothing more than the difference between a little bad defeat and a little bad defeat, but this time it was unprecedented to break the city. This situation is a very rare thing for many people.
Faced with this long-range attack from the city, the team of the Battle of the North Camp on the city was already prepared. They were all old people, so naturally they would not be careless because of the enemy's situation. In this case, there was no big deal of any carelessness, whether it was a stone bomb or a bomb, it fell on the city. There was no way to attack a few soldiers guarding the city.
Because as soon as the stone bomb fell on the top of the city, the troops guarding the city from the North Camp had already been dodged, and many citizens also got off the city and waited under the city, waiting for the attack on the top of the city. After the weakening, I would like to attack this question.
Sure enough, when a stone cannon and the catapult attack stopped, there was nothing to say in this situation, that is, the battle to the end.
After drawing the lottery, the general in charge of the main attack pointed the sword in his hand forward, and the army began to move towards the city wall. Of course, they did not rush towards the city wall blindly, but used this giant shield made of wood to block the front, and there was an arrow tower behind them for cover, and then the siege cart, etc., pushing the ladder, and carrying the pole, etc. towards the city wall.
This arrow tower is a kind of movable tower. The height of the arrow tower is a little higher than the city wall. It can be shot against the archers on the city wall to cover the normal progress and attack of the siege team.
In this case, there is actually nothing to say. As long as you can reach the foot of the wall, you will have half of the victory. This is because the real battle often begins after reaching the foot of the city wall. However, the distance before reaching the foot of the city wall is very dangerous and there will be huge casualties.
Sure enough, when the long-range attack on the city was stopped, a large number of troops from the North Camp rushed to the city again. They used bows and arrows to block the siege team. However, due to the existence of the arrow tower, most of them were attracted, and the rest used this giant shield to resist, attack forward, and move forward slowly.
The siege teams in the front row were all armies holding giant shields or wearing heavy helmets and armor, mainly to prevent the shooting of these bows and crossbows from affecting them.
In this case, everyone greeted each other with the bow and arrow, but overall, the siege team still steadily entered the border towards the city wall. The main reason is that to be honest, this long-range tool does not have much requirement for the combat effectiveness of both sides, it is just to fight for losses.
In fact, there is not much advantage in personal combat power in the Zhengbei Camp. Although there are some archers among the archers, in this case, this archer cannot play much role. It is just to set a few levels. However, there is still no big way to attack forward for the entire siege team, so in this case, everyone can only resist desperately and shoot each other desperately.
In fact, this offensive mode is to fight for casualties. Often, when the siege team can withstand casualties and stand until the foot of the city wall, it is victory. When the defending side can withstand casualties and keep on attacking, it can kill more siege teams, and it is mainly about the consumption of troops and psychological endurance.
In this regard, the whole world has invested heavily and has a lot of troops, so I don’t care about this at all. The general who got the lottery also knows the importance of this battle. Even if all the people in his hands are dead, there will be no problem in this regard, otherwise he will be shameless to see the people of the world in the future.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and the bows and arrows were fine, especially those crossbow arrows, which could directly shoot through heavy armor and nail people to the ground. Some Beijingers even had not died for a while and struggled desperately, but no one cared about them. They were all moving forward straight, and the lives of humans on the battlefield were worthless, which reached the extreme.
Finally, after a battle of shooting with arrows, the siege team finally reached the foot of the city wall. Then with a command, the siege team began to hit the city gate. There was also this defense on the top of the siege cars, so they were not afraid of attacking from above. The team quickly pushed to the foot of the city wall, and soldiers began to climb up the city wall. In addition, some soldiers used poles and flying claws to attack. For a moment, there were siege teams everywhere in the entire outer city wall, attacking the city head.
