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 has issued an order for the entire army to attack. The Sichuan and Zhen armies formed two large square formations, one on the left and the other on the right. There was no tentative attack, and Nie Ze used all his main forces as soon as he came up.
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 carpets with movable 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 were fighting in an orderly and orderly manner, and the Baguan side was also making preparations for the battle.
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's soldiers climbed to the top of the city, each one twisting his bow and setting an arrow, pointing directly outside the city.
The Ningren's melee combat skills are not very good, but their ability to shoot arrows is definitely first-rate. It is most suitable for the Ningren to do the arrow formation on the city. Now the people who are swarming the city are basically the Western Border Army, and the coach Zuo Shuang is
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's army is large, there is nothing to fear. 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 talking to 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. 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.
Can't hurt anyone.
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 or fearful.
Death, the more critical the moment, the more important it is to 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 before.
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 asking the two armies to coordinate their operations. He did not stipulate 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 are both commanders who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have their own unique analysis of battlefield situations. They both know when to attack with all-out force and when to use false attacks to harass.
When they were about two miles away from Baguan, the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces stopped attacking, and then people began to deploy heavy trebuchets. The Sichuan country also spent a lot of money to attack the wind this time, and the heavy trebuchets dispatched included
There were nearly a thousand units, and at this time, 500 units were deployed at once. Looking up, two rows of trebuchets stretched out for a long 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 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 was impossible for the 800,000 Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces to devote themselves to the siege at once.
Too many people are likely to cause chaos, and many people cannot reach the front, which is a waste of manpower, and they will suffer from the enemy's arrows and attacks in vain, causing unnecessary casualties. Attacking in batches can maximize the strength of the troops.
The advantage is that if the attack of the first group is weak, the second group can be replaced to take over, so that the siege force can always be maintained at its peak and the enemy will not be given 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 fighting forward subconsciously
Raising their heads and looking at the dense stone bullets flying past their heads, people instinctively touched the top of their heads, fearing that one of the stone bullets would 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 expressions changed drastically. 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 inside the city, hitting barracks and streets. As long as one stone bullet hit, half of the small barracks would be basically destroyed.
If it is hit by two or three stone bullets in a row, it will 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, some of the Feng Army soldiers will be hit by it. Once hit, they will either be
They were crushed into meat patties, or their bones and tendons were broken by the collision. 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 top of the city became a mess, 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-Zhen Allied Army seemed to be engaged in a practice battle in a relaxed manner, 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.
During the attack, countless soldiers gathered at the base of the city wall, and the crowd was so crowded that it was 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 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 basalt 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 Border who were hiding below: "Go up to the city wall and prepare to fight!"
The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces' stone bomb attack has not stopped yet. Huge boulders keep falling on the city wall. The soldiers of the Western Region bravely ran up the city wall. As soon as people came up, screams broke out, and the soldiers came 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 deployed by Yingbu had not yet been used, and had already been damaged by the stone bullets.
