Chapter 220 The Passionate Fire and the Deadly Water
Chapter 220: The passionate fire and the deadly water (1)
Although it was not a defeat, Yeyue felt very uncomfortable. Forty thousand, a whole forty thousand lives. In such a short time, forty thousand soldiers left forever. Those were forty thousand living people. Since he commanded the army,
When have you ever suffered such a big loss?
Yeyue stood on the city wall. Under such circumstances, she had to think of the most effective way.
Although there is a moat under Lingxue City, it can only block it once or twice, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
To storm a city tower, cloud ladders and well towers are generally used. The former is a storm attack by infantry, and the latter is a storm attack by archers and crossbowmen. However, well towers are difficult to make and waste time. In other words, tower towers are most likely to use ladders.
A strong infantry attack must be coordinated by archers. The Tianfeng Army has 50,000 archers and 5,000 mid-level and high-level archers. It is like a waterfall, which is really difficult to defend against. Even if all Lingxue City soldiers use bows and crossbows, there are only 20,000
Left and right, facing more than three times the number of enemies. This is the bad thing about bows and arrows! The speed is too slow! It takes about five seconds at the fastest to nock an arrow, draw the bow, aim, and then shoot.
Suppress the siege of the Yellow Turbans?
But if it cannot be suppressed, those fanatical Tianfeng troops will continuously attack the city wall, and the consequences will be disastrous!
Yeyue carefully thought about the battle just now, her eyes lit up, she touched her palms and said, "Three-stage shot!"
When 20,000 people face 50,000, 60,000 or more enemies, only three-stage shooting can have a suppressive effect. Archers practice two-stage shooting, and crossbowmen reload too slowly, so they practice third-stage shooting, which can be effective.
to suppress the enemy.
It's even okay******. I can leave five thousand as reserve, five thousand as auxiliary, and ten thousand crossbowmen******
Well! Yeyue nodded.
Also, if the enemy uses a ladder, how should we deal with it? Although stone ladders are effective, they consume too much resources, and it is too laborious for soldiers to transport them. What should we use instead?
Boiling oil?!
The boiling oil is good! Not only can it burn the opponent, but it can also be used further.
Shooting it with the fire crossbow again, Yeyue showed a gloomy expression on his face. Catherine and the two girls next to him couldn't help but roll their eyes at him, while Buck and Sola shuddered, someone was going to be unlucky.
The combat method uses two or three stages to maintain the continuous suppressive power of the crossbowmen. However, the crossbowmen cannot wear armor, so there are some problems in defense. Hey, I can learn from the tower wood in this regard and stand on the city wall.
A row of wooden boards, leaving a space every half meter for the crossbowmen to shoot arrows. Doesn't this increase the height of the city wall in disguise?
If the enemy climbs the city wall, then they can light the wooden plank and move it back to block it for a while. Not bad. Moreover, the bottom is full of boiling oil. The oil on the ground touches the burning wooden plank, which looks like
There is also a giant river near Lingxue City. If you don't have enough people, you can mobilize the people. Yeyue's sinister smile at this time is enough to make the sun tremble.
Well****** let’s take a look******
Outside the city, Tamuqi filled up the trenches and returned to the camp. He wanted to take advantage of Lingxue City's new defeat to attack Lingxue City at night, but when he saw Xuzhou, he felt helpless and returned sadly.
It turned out that Tiehu followed Yeyue's instructions and set up a bronze mirror every twenty or thirty meters on the city wall, with a huge fire in front of it, giving a panoramic view of everything outside the city, specifically to prevent night attacks.
Tamuqi looked at it and said, "Although this Iron Tiger has become despicable and courageous for some reason, it does have many tricks. It seems that I was careless the day before yesterday. In fact, on the battlefield,
No matter what strategy you use, it is right and not wrong, because it not only puts your own life and reputation at risk,
There are also the lives of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. A few days ago, I impulsively ordered the massacre of the city, but I went too far. War is a battle between generals and soldiers, so why should I vent my anger on those old, weak, women and children?
****" The old man not only felt a little regretful for his order to massacre the city a few days ago.
"It's better to wait until the sun rises tomorrow, and the thunder will strike directly to take down Xuzhou!"
***************************************
"Woo******"
The Tianfeng Army blew the horns, and the drums shook the sky, and a group of Tianfeng Empire's elite soldiers rushed towards the city gate.
"Bang the drum!" Yeyue shouted in a deep voice.
"Deng Deng Deng ******" The war drums in Ling Xuecheng also sounded.
"Archers and crossbowmen are on alert! Listen to my order!" Tiehu shouted loudly, "All archers are divided into two teams, front and rear, and crossbowmen are divided into three teams, front, middle and rear!" "All archers are divided into two teams, front and rear, and crossbowmen are divided into two teams, front, middle and rear.
Team Three!" Seeing Tiehu say this, the low-level generals in Lingxue City shouted one after another.
Soon the teams were divided.
Tiehu glanced outside the city and saw that the enemy troops were within shooting range. He immediately shouted, "Archers from the front team, shoot!"
"shoot."
Thousands of arrows whizzed by.
"The front team takes a step back to take the arrows, and the back team steps forward and shoot!"
"Shoot!" Everyone shouted again, and hundreds of arrows were shot at the enemy formation.
"The rear team retreats, the front team steps forward, shoot!"
"The front team retreats, the back team steps forward, shoot!"
Using this method of warfare, the Holy Empire Army actually suppressed the archers of the Tianfeng Army for a time, causing them to hide behind the cover of the well and not dare to show their faces.
The ordinary Tianfeng soldiers below suffered even more disasters. Those who were lucky enough to block the bows and arrows with their shields were shot to death by the next wave, while those who were unlucky were shot to death directly.
However, with such skill, the faces of the generals in Lingxue City were twitching again and again. There were at most hundreds of thousands of arrows in the city, and only half of them were gone in just a few shots. Although the effect was very good, at least they killed the enemy.
There are more than 10,000 people, but it is too much of a waste of resources. If this continues, the arrow feathers will soon be used up. What will be used to suppress the enemy?
"Huh?" Tamuqi frowned as he watched the arrows flying out from the wall of Lingxue City, one after another, in an endless stream.
"Jinglan, step forward! Suppress! Hold the ladder tightly! The first one to climb the city wall will be rewarded!"
The temptation of money and fame in the world is huge. Braving the bows and arrows from Lingxue City, Jinglan slowly moved forward, and the archers and crossbowmen on it shot back one after another.
"Crossbowmen, listen to my order!" Tiehu handed the archer's shouting order to his deputy, then came to the crossbowmen, "Front team shoot!"
With one blast of fire, thousands of thieves fell down immediately on the well.
"The front team squats down to load arrows! The squadron shoots!"
"The squadron squats down, the rear team shoots!"
When the rear team finished shooting, the front team had already loaded their arrows. "The rear team loaded their arrows on the spot. The front team got up and shot!"
The arrows were really like rain, whistling incessantly. Even though the Tianfeng Empire's 400,000-strong army were all elite among regular soldiers, they still showed signs of defeat.
Tamuqi shouted: "If we capture Lingxue City, we will reward you based on your merits. If you kill a general, you will at least be granted the title of baron and receive a reward of ten thousand coins."
Baron, the gold coins exceeded 10,000, and the eyes of the soldiers instantly turned red. These two rewards are enough for his family to live a life of wealth.
Bang! After suffering huge casualties, the first ladder climbed onto the city wall, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers on the ladder were seen jumping onto the city wall with red eyes.
Yeyue shouted, "Kill!"
Several generals were at the sixth or seventh level of strength, but these soldiers could not compete with them. Their fighting spirit exploded and they immediately killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers.
Yeyue looked at the situation below and shouted loudly: "Generals, come forward and get the boiling oil!"
At this time, the second and third ladders were also hooked up to the city wall. On the ladders, many enemy soldiers looked crazy.
