Upon hearing Yuan Wei's order, the fifty trebuchets each began to adjust, then loaded up with shotguns and launched a continuous attack on Guangxin City.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up, defend all, the shield bearer protects the archer."
Yao Ding couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scattered bullets flying like dark clouds. Although these stone bullets looked much smaller than the ones just now, he knew that if these stone bullets fell on the city wall, it would definitely be a disaster.
But looking at the soldiers who were still panicking, Yao Ding's heart sank to the bottom. These soldiers immediately knew what they were going to face next.
A torrential rain of shotguns fell from the sky, like rain hitting banana trees, causing a bloody storm on the city wall. Countless soldiers fell directly into a pool of blood. Even those soldiers who raised their shields for defense were the same. Only one side was broken.
The shields proved they had resisted before.
"call."
Yao Ding was really shocked now. It was so cruel. He saw with his own eyes that a soldier was accurately shot by a stone bullet. His head was cracked and he died tragically on the spot.
"Yao Ding, what should we do next?"
Not only Yao Ding was frightened, Shi Xie was also frightened, and came to Yao Ding's side under the escort of soldiers.
"Sir, I don't know what to do. I can only let the soldiers resist temporarily. I don't know how long it can last."
Yao Ding glanced at Shi Xie who came over. To be honest, if Shi Xie hadn't just said that anyone who suggested surrender would beheaded, he would definitely suggest surrender now.
"Hey, you must endure it. Guangxin City and the people behind it all depend on you."
Shi Xie also knew that it would be good if Yao Ding could ensure that the soldiers on the city wall did not collapse, but it would be a bit too much to ask for anything, so he could only talk loudly and told Yao Ding to hold on.
"I will definitely withstand it."
Hearing Shi Xie's words, Yao Ding also sighed. He could only say this now against his will.
"Well, you can direct it, I'll just watch from behind."
Shi Xie also heard the helplessness in Yao Ding's tone, but now that all those who knew the military in Guangxin City were out, he could only rely on Yao Ding.
"Defend, defend, put up shields, everyone squats, everyone squats."
Seeing another wave of stone bullets coming, Yao Ding had no time to talk nonsense with Shi Xie and rushed out directly, commanding the soldiers to defend.
"Protect the Captain."
Yao Ding rushed out, and the soldiers around him followed closely, raising their shields to protect Yao Ding's life.
Waves of stone bullets hit one after another, and apart from the screams and wails, there was only the sound of heavy breathing on the city wall.
With the sky full of shotguns, Jianzhong Army and Xuzhou Army also fought their way to the edge of the moat.
"Fill the river."
Soldiers on both sides began to push sand trucks and carry sandbags, and began to fill in the wide moat in front of them.
As cartloads of sandbags were thrown into the moat, corridors began to appear and take shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into passages.
"Charge the city."
Seeing the passage appear, Zang Ba directly ordered his soldiers to carry ladders and step on the newly formed passage to attack the Guangxin city wall.
"General, aren't you going to attack yet?"
Zang Ba's Xuzhou Army began to attack, but Zhang He of the Jianzhong Army had not yet given the order. The captain beside him was also stunned, wasn't he trying to seize time?
Why haven't you attacked yet?
"Don't be impatient. As the saying goes, go all out in one go, then weaken again, and then lose all three. It's not that easy to win Guangxin City. I didn't care about the bets at all. I will attack when the building carts are pushed up. I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
Tactics.”
Zhang He shook his head slightly. It was not that easy to capture Guangxin City. Although the enemy was crushed by the trebuchet, it was indeed difficult to capture it with the aid of a ladder. He was General Jianzhong, and he could not do it for his own sake.
The bet is to let the brothers step forward and fight for their lives.
"We are not afraid, let's go ahead."
"Yes, we cannot lose to the Xuzhou Army."
"Isn't it just death?
When have we ever been afraid? Let’s attack the wall.”
Hearing Zhang He's words, the soldiers were excited. Zhang He was afraid that they would die, but they were not afraid. Wouldn't they just die?
When had the Jianzhong Army ever been afraid?
"How about you become the general?"
Zhang He glanced at the soldiers beside him who were asking for battle, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't dare."
Although Zhang He was not angry, the soldiers knew that they were annoyed by his taboo. Although they wanted to fight, they did not obey the general's orders before the battle. This was a taboo for all generals, and Zhang He's strictness in managing the army was far beyond imagination.
This petition alone is enough to punish them.
"Then listen to me honestly, and immediately send someone to push the trolley behind me. Only when the trolley arrives can we attack the city wall. Also, tell Yuan Wei that I will smash the wall on my side to the inside."
Seeing that the soldiers knew they were wrong, Zhang He had nothing to say. It was a good thing that the soldiers were not afraid of fighting. He didn't have to punish these people for this, but he still had to beat them.
"promise."
These soldiers didn't dare to say anything. Zhang He might tolerate some things the first time, but if there was a second time, Zhang He would definitely be merciless and punish them for disobedience.
Soon, Xuzhou Army and Jianzhong Army appeared in two scenes. On one side, they were attacking the city wall in full swing, but on the other side, they did not move.
"Trebuchets postpone the attack on the northern section of the city wall and concentrate their firepower on the southern city. Be careful of accidentally injuring friendly forces."
Seeing the condition of the city walls on both sides, Yuan Wei also immediately changed his order. Now that the Xuzhou Army has begun to attack, there must be no more scattered bombs there, otherwise it will cause accidental injuries.
As the trebuchet changed direction, many soldiers on the southern wall began to maneuver toward the northern wall out of survival instincts and the desire to support the northern wall.
"General, why didn't the Jianzhong Army take action?
Also, you see, the soldiers on the south wall have begun to move to the north, what is going on?"
Seeing that the Jianzhong Army was so strange here, no troops were sent out, and the people on the city wall began to maneuver. A school lieutenant asked Zang Ba directly.
"Guangxin City is difficult to attack. Although the enemy has been suppressed by trebuchets, their morale has not collapsed yet. Now that we are attacking, the enemy has reacted and will come immediately to support.
I ordered the soldiers to postpone the attack and let the carriages behind me speed up for me, and let Yuan Wei's trebuchets continue the attack. No matter how hard it was, I made Zhang He's wedding dress."
Zang Ba glanced at the Jianzhong Army on the other side and knew that what he had just done was a bit reckless and wanted to win too much. If the enemy's morale collapsed, it would be easy to say anything, but now he can obviously persist, and he
This can only be used as a wedding dress for Zhang He.
"Retreat now. The brothers who died just now will die in vain."
Upon hearing Zang Ba's order, the captain next to him immediately asked him questions.
"The more you attack now, the more enemies will gather on our side of the city wall. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, this will only lighten the south wall, but in the end it will make it easier for the Jianzhong Army.
And only use ladders? Without the assistance of carriages, it will be difficult to climb the city wall. Send my military order and order the soldiers to withdraw."
Zang Ba couldn't let the soldiers risk their lives even though he knew it was wrong, so even if the soldiers around him wanted to continue attacking, he still ordered the soldiers to retreat.
"promise."
Zang Ba's order soon reached the Xuzhou army that was attacking the city. Although the soldiers did not know why they had to withdraw, they still resolutely carried out the order and began to retreat.
"The enemy has retreated?"
Seeing the Xuzhou Army retreating, the soldiers on the north wall were all stunned. It was so unreasonable that the enemy retreated just after they started attacking.
"what's the situation?"
Yao Ding was also confused. He had been in the army for so long, rising step by step from the lowest infantryman to a captain, and he had never encountered such a situation. This was nothing.
"I don't know. Although the enemy retreated, they did not fail. You can see that their trucks are still attacking."
Sima, who was accompanying the army, glanced at Yao Bin and then at Lou Che, who was still attacking, without any hint of joy at all.
"Target the north wall, hit it for me."
In fact, there is no need for Zang Ba to say that Yuan Wei in the rear has long noticed that many of the troops in the southern section have been assigned to the northern section. Now that the Xuzhou Army is retreating, this gives him the opportunity to kill enemy soldiers on a large scale.
Yuan Wei gave an order, and the fifty trebuchets began to turn directly, and then scattered bullets flew towards the place and hit it hard.
"No, spread out, spread out quickly, shield hand, block it."
Seeing the enemy's bullets coming, Yao Ding quickly shouted, telling the soldiers to disperse to avoid the oncoming attack.
A man only has two legs, and no matter how fast he runs, he cannot run faster than the rain of bullets falling from the sky. For a moment, the northern city wall seemed to have been washed with blood. Countless soldiers fell in a pool of blood, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"The rest of the people disperse and go to the southern section, quickly."
Now Yao Ding finally understood the enemy's strategy. He would first rely on the northern city wall to attack, move his soldiers and horses on the south side to support, then withdraw the soldiers, and then follow up with a shotgun attack, so that he could kill his soldiers to the maximum extent. It's really
Cruel.
Yao Ding analyzed the surface situation and got the answer he wanted, but he had no idea that this was just the result of a bet between the two troops. There was no way to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
Facing these new soldiers, if Zhang He and Zang Ba hadn't been worried about the casualties of their soldiers and attacked the city together, what might be the situation now.
After experiencing tragic losses, the soldiers on the city wall also learned the lesson. Not only did they stand far apart, but they all lowered their bodies and huddled under their shields, waiting for the arrival of death.
With the suppression of the trebuchet, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to show their heads at all, let alone any defense. They could only watch the carts slowly but resolutely move forward.
"Stop shooting."
Seeing the truck pressing in, Yuan Wei immediately ordered the trebuchet to stop attacking. If it continued to smash, there would be accidental damage.
"Stopped?
The trebuchet has stopped. Quickly order the soldiers to fight back. Where are the crossbows and the crossbows? Shoot those buildings and carts for me. Hurry."
The trebuchet stopped firing, and Yao Ding immediately jumped up. Looking at the enemy close at hand, he directly ordered the city defense crossbow to counterattack.
"Captain, the ballistas are gone, they were all destroyed by trebuchets."
After hearing Yao Ding's order, a village chief next to him responded directly to him.
"Fuck, let the archers bring kerosene, fire rockets for me, burn those buildings and cars, burn them."
Without the crossbow, he could not just sit back and watch Lou Che continue to attack. He immediately ordered the soldiers to burn the Lou Che with rockets. If the Lou Che approached the city, he knew exactly what the consequences would be.
"promise."
Upon hearing Yao Ding's order, the camp commander who had just spoken to him immediately secured his safety and went down to direct the soldiers to prepare to attack the building truck with rockets.
"On the ladder."
Seeing that the building truck was already approaching, Zhang He had nothing to say and directly ordered the ladder to go ahead. Because the enemies were now gathering in the direction of the building truck, he wanted to distract their attention and create space for the building truck to climb the wall.
.
"The general has an order, use the ladder to rush into the city."
After receiving Zhang He's order, the Jianzhong Army soldiers, who were already hungry and thirsty, began to speed up and attack the city wall.
"The ladder takes one step ahead and attacks the city."
Zang Ba on the other side observed the battlefield and immediately made the decision to advance with the ladder truck. Immediately, Xuzhou Army soldiers pushed the ladder truck and began to attack the city wall.
"The enemy's ladder is coming up. Hurry, guard and let the archers shoot for me."
