Chapter 1035: Brave rush to the car, continuous battle in the dark night
Of course, the punching machine is not just a piece of wood. Generally speaking, craftsmen will choose a trunk with a thickness of about two feet, and it is mainly made of hard wood such as elm. It is about three feet long, and the front will be sharpened and made of iron.
Package! There are wheels at the bottom for soldiers to push, and a gabled roof on the top to form a simple shield structure to defend against bows and arrows from above.
Even some heavy-duty assault vehicles will form a box-like structure, in which spearmen can be stationed to attack enemies on both sides. The soldiers pushed at the bottom also have wooden boards on both sides to form defenses.
The huge ramming car hit the city gate driven by dozens of fierce soldiers, and the city gate could not hold on for long! This is why the gates of ancient cities were extremely heavy! Therefore, in a siege battle, if the city
The soldiers attacking the city outside have the advantage, and the defenders inside the city will directly block the entire city gate to defend to prevent the army outside the city from breaking in!
In the west of the city, looking at the crumbling city walls and gates in front of him, Ma Xinghua showed some excitement on his face! As the leader of the tribe, he had naturally had many wars with other tribes, but a war like this was extremely
Show less! The elite soldiers and invincible weapons under his command made him extremely excited.
"The front army continues to attack, and the people on top of the city must not be left idle! The rear army makes rice and takes turns to rest! Tonight we will burn the midnight oil and fight. Tomorrow morning, when the commander's order comes, we will break the city.
time!"
"When the time comes, if we enter the city first, we will each get a reward!"
Ma Xinghua yelled!
Now that he was under Shen Tang's command, what he expected most was Shen Tang's reuse and recognition. Therefore, he did not dare to show any signs of neglect in this battle and made up his mind to show his face in front of Shen Tang.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and to Yi Xibu's despair, countless torches were lit outside the city, directly lighting up the dark night.
Moreover, the enemy troops outside the city have no intention of resting at all!
After guarding for more than half a day, the warriors in the tribe were extremely exhausted! Although many young men and women were summoned to help on the city wall, their combat power and endurance were far inferior to the elite tribesmen! In addition,
If the casualties among these people were too heavy, they might not wait until the army outside the city breaks through the city, causing turmoil among the clan.
Therefore, the main defensive force still relies on the nearly 10,000 elites in the city.
It takes at least two thousand warriors to defend a city wall! In other words, except for some of their reserve forces, almost all the other elites are on the city wall!
The most important thing is that in more than half a day, even though the opponent has not yet set foot on the city wall, the number of warriors from their tribe has been killed in the battle. If the seriously injured are added, nearly a quarter of their strength has been weakened.
.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the losses suffered by Shen Tang's siege troops were not too great. The total number of casualties among the three parties was only about a thousand, which did not have much impact on the power of the attack!
"Murong Zhong, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to the west of the city to help Ma Xinghua! From Yuan Qing, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to the east of the city to help Shentu Mou! Gu Guha, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to help Lei Zheng
And Jiang and Shang!"
"I only give you one order, that is, I will not allow anyone from the Yixi tribe to sleep peacefully this night!"
Several generals who had already been impatient immediately took the order and led their troops in three directions!
With these new forces, not only can we ensure the strength and frequency of attacks in the dark night, but we can also put the greatest pressure on the people of the Yixi tribe! After this night of fierce fighting, by tomorrow morning, the Yixi tribe will lose the last chance of resistance.
courage!
Dark night fell, and there were endless shouts of killing from above and below the city! The three armies outside the city attacked in an orderly manner. The soldiers and horses on the city gritted their teeth and barely persisted under the pressure of the opponent's catapults and archers!
Tuhunhu stood on the city wall, looking at the fallen tribal warriors around him one by one, and at the continuous army outside the city, his mood dropped to the bottom!
In front of him, the army outside the North City Gate has reached nearly ten thousand people. There are also many new soldiers and horses in the other two directions. However, the power available in his hands is rapidly decreasing! Moreover, after
After such a long period of fierce fighting, almost everyone was exhausted. Coupled with the coming of dark night, the morale of one's side was reduced to the limit!
"You warriors, behind us are our parents, children and women. If we lose, everything in the clan will become the spoils of others! So, fight to the death for the sake of the clan!"
Tuhunhu yelled with a hoarse voice!
Inspired by Tuhunhu, these warriors gritted their teeth and vented their strength and depression in their hearts, and even attacked the enemy troops under the city without fear of death!
However, courage is only courage after all. If you want to win in this unfair battle, it is obviously not enough to rely on courage alone.
In the dark night, time seemed to pass slowly. Attacks outside the city continued continuously, and the number of soldiers and horses outside the city seemed to have never decreased at all! However, the defenders on the city wall could clearly see their companions.
Falling in a pool of blood, the number of companions around him is decreasing one by one!
When the courage and excitement gradually disappear, fatigue and fear will come to mind again!
At Yin Shi, Shen Tang suddenly issued an order, "Order, the troops and horses attacking from all sides should stop attacking immediately and rest where they are! However, starting from Mao Shi, attack with all strength, Commander Chen Shi will enter the city!"
The bursts of killing sounds and messy roars suddenly stopped, as if someone suddenly pressed a pause button!
The army that had been attacking continuously retreated like a tide! Up and down the city wall, the ferocious corpses were collected one by one. In the dark night, calm finally returned.
On the city wall, Tuhunhu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that this was only a temporary pause, if it continued, the city wall might really be unable to hold on.
All the soldiers' energy and consumption have reached the extreme, the city gates and walls are already crumbling, no one knows when the city will be broken!
"All the elite soldiers rest immediately, while the rest go up to the city wall and clean it out! And repair the damaged areas as soon as possible! Bring up all the food prepared below, and let the men rest after they are full!"
"Leave someone behind to monitor the movements outside the city to prevent them from launching a surprise attack!"
The reason why Shen Tang stopped attacking for an hour was certainly not to give Yi Xi tribe some breathing space, but for another purpose.
