The captain already had experience and immediately looked for the intact stone stamps to hide. Unfortunately, those soldiers were directly hit by a wave of attacks. As soon as they reached the city wall, more than a third of it was damaged. The remaining people also stayed there and were at a loss.
.
"Why are you so stunned? Clean the battlefield quickly. The enemy will attack soon."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, he saw a huge shadow covering him, and then with a bang, his whole body and the stone stamp were smashed into pieces by stone bullets.
"I won't fight."
Finally, someone couldn't bear the blow, threw away the steel knife in his hand, and fled towards the stairs.
"puff."
A ray of sword light flashed, and the soldier who escaped down the city wall had his head missing. In order to prevent the soldiers from defecting, Gongsun Zan had already arranged a military law team.
"Anyone who dares to escape without permission will suffer the consequences."
Military judge Gongsun Zhi held the soldier's head in his hand, like a hungry ghost from hell, terrifying and bloody.
The top of Gongsun Zan's city was in a mess, but Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Xu Rong looked at it with excitement.
"Lord, it's almost time to send out troops to attack the city. Our Polu army has been ready for a long time."
Yan Liang was the first to speak. As the Polu Army was the main force attacking Youzhou this time, it was natural that they could not leave the siege to others.
"Brother, as the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. The Polu Army is the main force this time. It will naturally be used at the last moment. For now, let the Huwei Army go."
Wen Chou also came to compete for the task of siege.
"My lord, the Xiliang army has newly attached itself and is in need of military exploits to appease it. Xu Rong also boldly wants to compete with the two generals for the task of siege the city."
Xu Rong was not to be outdone. Although they were surrendering, now was a good opportunity to show off. Even if they were facing Yuan Shu's trusted generals, he would still fight for his brothers.
"Okay, did I say we would attack the city now?"
Yuan Shu looked at the three generals with a glint in his eyes.
"Lord, the enemy army is in chaos now, it's the right time to attack the city."
Xun Chen also stood up and looked at Yuan Shu in front of him.
"Youruo, do you think soldiers are more valuable or are these bullets more valuable?"
Yuan Shu said nothing else and directly compared soldiers with stone bullets.
"Of course soldiers are more valuable."
Xun Chen was stunned and didn't understand why Yuan Shu would ask this.
"I see."
Xun You nodded aside, he already knew what Yuan Shu meant.
"Gongda, please tell me."
Yuan Shu looked at Xun You, he wanted to hear Xun Gongda guess what he meant.
"My lord, what I mean is that soldiers are precious. These stone bullets and baggage are just personal belongings. If you can use money to kill Gongsun Zan, you will never use the lives of soldiers to fight for it. Am I right?"
"What Gongda said is true. It takes a long time to train an elite soldier. These stones can go anywhere. You must remember that if the battle can be solved with money, don't let the soldiers fight hard. My Yuan Shu's soldiers
Horses are very valuable."
Yuan Shu nodded. His current thoughts are completely those of later generations. Enemies that can be destroyed with money must not be destroyed with human lives. In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the most important thing is the people.
"Been taught a lesson."
Xun Chen also nodded. Yuan Shu's thoughts are different from ordinary people. In this world, human life is as cheap as grass. If you want to recruit troops, you only need money and food, not just as much as you can. To use money to fight, the lord is definitely the number one.
"Well, order the Nightmare Trebuchet and Scholar Trebuchet to hit me with all their strength. When the city wall collapses, we will stop."
Looking at Xun Chen and Xun You, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh. He had nothing to say in such a situation.
Although soldiers and horses are easy to come by now, it takes at least ten or twenty years for a person to grow up. The tens of millions of people in the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin and Han Dynasty ended up with less than ten million. The reason is because of the various princes
Not treating people as human beings and killing them wantonly resulted in the tragic situation of the Han family being depleted.
The population of the Han family dropped sharply, which led to the tragic situation in the later period when the Five Husbands invaded China and the Han people were almost exterminated.
Let me ask you, if there were tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Han people during the Five Husties in China, how could these foreign races easily capture the Han territory?
That's why Yuan Shu now wants to instill in his subordinates the concept that human life is as important as heaven, in order to make them cherish their soldiers.
This is also the fundamental reason why Yuan Shu became stronger and stronger as he fought with other princes, and was able to recover quickly even if he encountered a major setback.
The continuous rain of bullets did not stop at all. Gongsun Zan's troops became fewer and fewer under such violent blows, and their morale became lower and lower. The Yuyang city wall they thought was a barrier had long been smashed into pieces and was difficult to defend.
Following.
"Boom."
There was a loud noise and a huge bomb fell. A section of the city wall of about ten meters was overwhelmed and completely collapsed. The sergeant on the wall fell to the ground along with the wall before he could react.
"Brother, we can no longer withstand this place. Let's break out."
Gongsun Yue looked at the scene in front of him and almost collapsed. His nearly 30,000 troops had now lost nearly 10,000 troops without even seeing anyone. The remaining troops were also demoralized and had no fighting spirit.
"Breaking through now? With these soldiers and horses who have lost their will to fight, do you think they will be a match for the people outside?"
Breaking out? Gongsun Zan also considered that if the fighting hadn't started yet, he might still be able to give it a try. If he rushed out now, he might not even be able to make a splash, and he would be surrounded and annihilated.
"Then what should we do? If we continue to defend the city wall, we may all die under Yuan Shu's trebuchet."
Gongsun Yue was also scratching his head. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that if he persisted on the city wall, he would be waiting for death.
"Guard, keep guarding. All soldiers and horses go down the city wall and wait for the trebuchets to stop on the stairs. Don't worry about the gaps in the city wall for now. Oh, Yue, you can bring heavy troops to guard for me. If the enemy attacks, let me repel them."
Such a long bombardment made Gongsun Zan think about it. It was impossible to defend the city wall, but Yuan Shufang could not attack the city as long as the rain of bullets did not stop.
They only need to defend on the wall after the rain of bullets stops, there is no need to fight hard here.
"promise."
The bullet rain continues, but the Yuyang city wall is empty, which is really strange.
"Lord, look at them."
Yan Liang had sharp eyes and directly pointed out the situation at the head of Yuyang City.
"Haha, Gongsun Zan reacted very quickly. He ordered the trebuchet to extend the design, half of which suppressed the city wall, and the other half focused on nightmares. Let me smash the gap wider.
Half an hour later, the Polu army will attack mainly, the Huwei army will maneuver, and the Xiliang army will attack from the gap. I will capture Yuyang City in one fell swoop."
Compared with Yuan Shu's current command level, he only knew three axes at the beginning - rushing, rushing, rushing. I don't know how many times he is stronger. When he opened his mouth, the two military advisors just nodded and had nothing else to add.
"promise."
Yuan Shu's military orders were passed down one after another, and the first to respond were the long-range troops who had not stopped from the beginning.
"The stone bullets are replaced by twelve stones."
