"Huang Zu, you 'beep--' coward! A coward! A coward! Come down and fight!"
"I won't come down, I won't come down, hit me! Just a little bit!"
Most of the time, the two armies yelling at each other are actually full of childishness.
Sun Jian's troops came to the city, and Huang Zu stayed behind closed doors.
This was also the expected result - Sun Jian was at the peak of his military strength at this time, and Huang Zu's side was far inferior to Sun Jian in terms of military strength and force. Confronting him head-on would naturally be a recipe for death, and the best way to defend the city was to hold on to the city.
Although Huang Zu was not a particularly strong general, he was successful because of his extremely stable use of troops.
No matter how Sun Jian yelled and cursed outside the city, Huang Zu only occasionally poked his head out and cursed at Sun Jian. He was like an old monk in meditation. He just ordered everyone in the city to strengthen their defense, and there was no response at all.
"My lord, Huang Zu is determined to be a shrinking bastard, why don't we just attack by force?"
The speaker was a muscular man of more than ten feet tall, with bulging tendons and various hideous scars all over his body. He was holding a steel boat that was more than two feet tall and looked like an iron tower.
.
It's Huang Gai.
Fancheng is not a big city like Hulao Pass or Luoyang Chang'an. The height and solidity of the city wall can only be said to be average, and the defensive weapons in the city are not sufficient. For a group of arrogant and powerful generals, it is difficult to attack by force.
It's not difficult to get down.
"Well, just do as the public reply says... Also, be careful when making public comments. Last time..."
The last time Huang Gai wanted to attack Sishui Pass, the player found the key point. As a result, Hua Xiong seized the opportunity and severely injured him. Sun Jian almost lost one of his generals. This time he was attacking the city again. Sun Jian was obviously still a little uncomfortable.
rest assured.
But Huang Gai raised his head and laughed loudly, his voice was like thunder.
"Hahahaha, my lord, you are worrying too much."
I saw Huang Gai posing like a bodybuilder, indicating that he had recovered, but when he bent over, the scars on his body became more and more hideous.
"Last time, we suffered from insufficient military rations. Moreover, if a turtle like Huang Zu had half the bravery of Hua Xiong, he wouldn't stay in seclusion. My lord, please feel free to come back as soon as you go!"
After saying that, the giant man put down the iron boat in his hand and picked up a huge boulder half a man's height from the ground.
"Drink!"
He shouted loudly, and the boulder suddenly hit the city wall like a cannonball!
"My sons! Prepare your siege weapons! Let us turn him upside down!"
——————
Of course, you cannot rely on flesh and blood to attack a city.
A ghostly place like Bishui Pass is a natural hazard. In addition, there are well-organized defense weapons and archers on the city. It is a last resort to use brute force and human lives to attack it.
But Fancheng doesn't need it.
The wall of Fancheng is less than ten feet. In this "Wushuang" where supermen are everywhere, some brave generals can even climb it with bare hands.
"Jinglan, prepare the catapult! Volley cover!"
Not to mention the catapult.
Jinglan, to put it more bluntly, is a mobile arrow tower, several feet high, with a platform for archers to stand on and shoot from a distance - in a city defense battle, one of the most important advantages of the city defender is that it is condescending, and
Such siege weapons can maximize the weakening of the opponent's advantage in this aspect.
Huang Zu's side had less than 5,000 defenders, including more than 2,000 archers, while Sun Jian's side had 10,000 archers alone.
When the two sides began to shoot at each other, the numerical advantage was maximized.
No matter how brave Huang Zu's soldiers were in fighting and how superb their archery skills were, under this dense rain-like offensive, they could only hide behind the city wall and not dare to show their heads at all.
Under the city, four or five battering rams made of giant wood were already in place, and the specially sharpened battering ram was already aimed at the city gate.
"Boys, come with me!"
Then Huang Gai saw veins popping up all over his body, and he was holding on to one of the rush cars with both hands. He saw that this huge thing that originally required five or six strong men to push started to slow down under the brute force of this giant man.
Move and run faster and faster as Huang Gai runs.
Just a "boom" sound was heard, and the battering ram of the car hit the gate of Fancheng.
Huang Zu's soldiers who were originally standing behind the gate and holding it against the city gate with their flesh and blood bodies were like kites with broken strings. They vomited blood and flew out on the spot. They fell to the ground far away and were already unconscious.
.
Fortunately, the city gate is still standing tall and motionless.
"Top it! Top it!"
Right now, no one has time to pay attention to their life and death.
Almost instantly, Huang Zu's soldiers from behind pushed forward again, and not long after, there was another loud "boom".
The cycle begins over and over again.
——————
The soldiers came to the city and were about to break through the gate.
But there was not much panic on Huang Zu's face.
"Sir! The work force has been prepared. Let's evacuate quickly! The ship is ready!"
"Don't be anxious. To achieve great things, you must be patient." Huang Zu glanced at the lieutenant who hurriedly rushed in from the outside and straightened his clothes. "The drama has just begun, and the leading actors have not entered yet."
We have to wait a little longer."
"But sir, Sun Jian's army is attacking fiercely. If this continues, my subordinates may..."
"We might as well go ahead and ask the brothers to work harder and pass on the order. If we win this battle, there will be a bounty of ten taels for each person who survives."
"Also, send a few elite soldiers to dismantle their siege equipment. We need more time."
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
For players, ten taels of gold is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver. After playing the game for so long, this little money is still worth it.
But it's different for NPC soldiers.
Gold is a hard currency. If one can survive until the war, ten taels of gold will be enough for a family of three to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Battlefield announcement: "Due to Huang Zu's encouragement, Huang Zu's soldiers rose up and their morale increased by +15%."
Morale is a mysterious but real thing. To a certain extent, it can even influence the outcome of a battle.
Although they were still at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, the courage inspired by the heavy reward made these soldiers who had been overwhelmed by Sun Jian's offensive attack start to fight back against the siege soldiers like crazy demons.
Battlefield announcement: "Huang Zu's army dispatched elite troops to start an assault, preparing to dismantle Sun Jian's army's siege equipment. Players please pay attention to protection."
On the city wall, some well-dressed soldiers with solemn faces jumped down from the top of the city like dumplings. They dispersed in groups of more than ten people, but they went straight towards the catapults, wells and chargers outside the city.
car.
The situation was very critical, but Huang Gai, as the frontline commander, showed an excited smile.
"It's interesting, it's interesting!"
He put down the ram, but untied the huge steel boat from behind, took it in his hands, and charged towards the soldiers who were besieging the siege equipment with a grin.
"Keep charging! I, Mr. Huang, will come back to deal with these little bastards!"
