Jin Zhuo replied: "With General Wu Rui guarding the camp, nothing will go wrong!"
Ren Fang nodded, asked no more questions, and continued walking forward.
Ahead, Nie Ze had issued an order for the entire army to attack. The Sichuan and Zhen armies formed two large square formations, advancing forward from one left and one right. There was no tentative attack, and Nie Ze mobilized all his main forces, 400,000.
The Sichuan army and the 400,000 Zhen army pressed forward together.
The opponent has too many troops. Standing on the city and looking out, the two large phalanxes composed of countless small phalanxes are like huge movable carpets on both sides. They are overwhelming and boundless. Only the head of the formation can be seen, but not the front.
At the end of the array, the momentum was terrifying.
When marching, the sound of people's neat footsteps even resonated, the roaring sound was endless, and the ground was shaking.
The Sichuan-Zhen coalition forces are advancing in an orderly and stable manner, and the Baguan side is also preparing to fight.
All the soldiers outside the city returned to the city and closed the city gate at the same time. Then the Feng soldiers carried out hundreds of wooden stakes and blocked the two large bronze doors. The Feng soldiers on the city began to retreat to the bottom of the city.
, Ning Ji soldiers climbed to the top of the city, each one twisting their bows and setting arrows, pointing directly outside the city.
Ning Ren's melee combat skills are not very good, but his ability to shoot arrows is definitely first-class. It is most suitable for Ning Ren to do the arrow formation on the city. Now the people who are swarming the city are basically the Western Border Army. The coach Zuo Shuang
He kept walking around and patrolling the city wall, shouting loudly to the surrounding soldiers as he walked: "Brothers, don't be afraid. Although the enemy army is numerous, there is nothing to be afraid of. Today, we will let them taste the power of our army..."
"Prepare enough arrows. When the enemy comes up, take turns shooting arrows as a unit..."
"The shield soldiers set up defenses and stood on top of the city to resist the enemy's return fire..."
Zuo Shuang is a grassroots soldier, and he understands the psychology of the soldiers best. He will not hide in a safe place and give remote command. Instead, he will be among the soldiers, so that all the soldiers under his command can see that their commander is communicating with them.
Fighting side by side can reduce people's fear to the greatest extent and improve one's own morale to the greatest extent.
Tang Yin and others were inside the city gate tower.
The city gate tower is seven or eight meters higher than the city wall. There is no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy here. Even if the enemy stands under the city wall and shoots arrows upward, the power of the arrow will be greatly reduced by the time it hits the city gate tower, causing no damage.
Not many people.
Tang Yin held his hand on the edge of the wall, looking out at the enemy's situation and at the same time lowering his head to check his own defense situation. He admired Zuo Shuang's command style very much. The commander of an army cannot easily take risks, but he must not be greedy for life or fear of death.
, the more critical the moment, the more we should take the lead and set an example for the entire army.
Nanye stood next to Tang Yin, with sweat on his forehead. He whispered: "Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be launching a general attack." After all, he was a fledgling general, and he had never seen such a big scene.
It is impossible not to feel nervous.
Tang Yin glanced sideways at him, smiled, and asked, "Are you scared?"
Nanye's face straightened and he said hurriedly: "I will not be afraid of you."
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Facing so many enemies, it's normal to be afraid, but it's a ghost if you're not afraid!"
When he told the central issue, Mr. Nanye blushed and hesitated, not knowing what to say. Tang Yin turned around and asked, "Lotte, Ai Jia?"
"The last general is here!" Lotte and Ai Jia walked out from among the generals and stepped in to salute.
Tang Yin asked: "Have all the letters to Mu Qing and Liang Qi been sent out?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay." Tang Yin sent a message to the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army to let the two armies coordinate their operations. He did not specify when the two armies must attack the enemy's camp, but only asked the two armies to act according to the opportunity.
Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi were both commanders who had experienced hundreds of battles, and each had their own unique analysis of battlefield situations. They both knew when to attack with all their strength and when to use false attacks to harass.
When they were about two miles away from Baguan, the advance of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces both stopped, and then people began to deploy heavy trebuchets. Sichuan State also spent a lot of money this time to attack the wind, and dispatched nearly a thousand heavy trebuchets.
There were so many trebuchets, 500 of them were deployed at once. Looking up, two rows of trebuchets stretched out quite a distance.
When he first attacked Shangjing, Nie Ze had seen the power of heavy trebuchets. Now he was confident and calmly ordered that the Sichuan and Zhen two armies each sent ten regiments as the first group to attack the city.
, both armies separated five regiments to charge towards the city, while the other five regiments lined up behind and fired arrows...
It is impossible for the 800,000 Sichuan-Zhenjun Allied Forces to be thrown into the siege at once. Too many attacking personnel will easily cause chaos, and many people cannot reach the front. This is a waste of manpower, and they will suffer from the enemy's arrows in vain.
and attack, causing unnecessary casualties. Attacking in batches can maximize the advantage of military strength. If the attack of the first batch of teams is weak, the second batch of teams can be replaced to take over, so that the siege force can always be maintained.
In its peak state, it doesn't give the enemy a chance to breathe.
Under Nie Ze's order, the phalanx of 200,000 people from the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces broke away from the main formation and pressed forward towards the Baguan* in front.
As soon as the attacking troops moved, Nie Ze immediately sent an order, and the trebuchets launched a volley to attack Baguan's city defense forces.
The commander gave an order, and the whole army moved together. Amid the shouts and shouts of the people, 500 trebuchets fired stone bullets in unison.
These stone bullets, each weighing up to a hundred kilograms, flew in the air with a harsh whistling sound. Five hundred stone bullets were combined together, and the sound of breaking the wind was deafening. The two soldiers of Sichuan and Zhen who were advancing forward subconsciously raised their heads.
Come, looking at the dense stone bullets flying overhead, people instinctively touch the top of their heads, for fear that any stone bullet will suddenly fall and hit their heads.
Being so far apart, the enemy's trebuchets were able to hit our own city gates. This greatly exceeded Feng's army's expectations. Unprepared, Feng's soldiers were all frightened when they saw the stone bullets flying in like a swarm of wasps.
Their faces changed drastically, and people stood on the top of the city, neither running away nor staying. They didn't know what to do for a while.
Zuo Shuang was the first to react and shouted: "To hide from the stone bullets, first get down the city wall to take cover -"
Before he could finish his words, a stone bullet fell close to him.
In just a moment, there were rumbling sounds both above and below the city, inside and outside the city.
Some stone bullets fell outside the city, making large round holes in the ground. Some stone bullets fell into the city, hitting barracks and streets. As long as one stone bullet hit, half of the small barracks would be basically destroyed.
If it was hit by two or three stone bullets in a row, it would basically be completely destroyed. Most of the stone bullets still accurately hit the wall of Baguan. The stone bullets hit the wall with a bang bang sound, sparks flying everywhere, and the stone bullets also
Then it was embedded deeply into the wall.
Fortunately, Baguan's city wall is strong enough to withstand heavy blows, otherwise it would collapse in an instant under such intensive blows.
The biggest threat to the Feng Army is the stone bullets that fall on the city. Because the Feng Army's positions are too dense, as long as a stone bullet falls, a Feng Army soldier will be hit by it. Once hit, he or she will be killed.
They were crushed into meat patties, or their bones and tendons were broken due to the impact. For a time, screams and wails broke out all over the city.
This was just the first round of salvos, followed by the second round, the third round... continuous attacks.
A large number of Feng troops were killed and injured by the opponent's heavy trebuchet without firing an arrow. The city was in chaos, and people fled in all directions. Many people were squeezed off the city wall by their companions if they were not careful.
Looking at Baguan from outside the city, the Fengjun on top of the city fell down from the city like dumplings.
Nie Ze held a bamboo tube and watched the situation at Baguan. Seeing the Feng army in chaos under his own salvo, he couldn't help laughing and proudly said to the generals around him: "I think our army will be ready this evening."
But let’s celebrate the victory in Baguan City.”
"Haha——" The generals of Sichuan and Zhen armies also laughed. People's faces were relaxed, pointing in the direction of Baguan, and whispering to each other. Some generals who talked a lot had begun to directly express their opinions and gestured with their hands.
Hua Hua talks about how to attack most effectively.
Now the two sides on the battlefield are in heaven on one side and hell on the other.
The Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces were relaxed as if they were engaged in a practice battle, while the Feng army was in dire straits. All the soldiers did not know where to hide. The city was attacked, and the city was also attacked.
, countless soldiers gathered at the base of the city wall, and the crowds were almost overwhelming.
Zuo Shuang stood on the city wall and did not go down. The generals around him all shrank their necks and shouted: "General, let's go down first to avoid it!"
Without even looking at the people on the left and right, Zuo Shuang stared at the enemy troops advancing outside the city and said coldly: "If you are afraid, just go down first."
That's what he said, but who dares to leave his post without permission? People stayed at the top of the city with Zuo Shuang in fear. Whenever a stone bullet flew over their heads or hit nearby, people's necks would always subconsciously move towards the city.
Shrink down.
Zuo Shuang turned a blind eye to the stone bullets whizzing by all around, his eyes always fell on the enemy's attacking phalanx. When the enemy army was close to the pass, he raised his fist, beat down the arrow stack hard, and then turned back,
He shouted to the generals: "The enemy has entered the shooting range, let all the brothers go up the city wall."
"Yes! General!" There is no way to escape. At this time, all the generals are risking their lives. What's more, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Zuo Shuang, is staying on top of the city. What are they afraid of? People agreed one after another and rushed to the city wall.
On the other side, he shouted to the soldiers of the Western Territory hiding below: "Go up to the city wall and prepare to fight!"
The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces' stone bomb attacks have not stopped yet. Huge boulders are falling on the city top. The soldiers of the Western Border are brave enough to run up the city wall. As soon as people come up, screams are heard everywhere, and the soldiers are shouting one after another.
The entire city wall was hit by stone bullets falling from the sky. The entire city wall was riddled with holes and corpses were everywhere. The city-breaking crossbows and military-breaking crossbows arranged by Yingbu had not yet been used, and more than half of them had been damaged by the stone bullets.
