Chapter 906: Tackling Dirt Problems
At present, as long as you take a hundred steps forward, you can occupy a high strong place.
So there's not much of a threat here.
Even if there are enough bows and crossbows in the Liaodong army for them to consume, they may not be able to pose a greater threat to us.
And that's where we come in.
Since we can't take this section of the wall.
Then let them come and attack us.
Defending instead of attacking, that's what we do best. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Li Xiuning's method is very simple.
Occupy a section of the wall, then have the soldiers below dig up the dirt as fast as they can to create a path that leads directly to the top of the wall.
It is absolutely impossible for the Liaodong Army to sit idly by and watch such a thing happen.
It is inevitable that an offensive approach will be taken.
And Li Xiuning is now unable to break through the high wall and only go to the defense of the archers.
In this way, they can retreat to the side of the cliff and avoid the harassment of the opposing archers.
It can also protect the soldiers of the earthwork pass under the column, so to speak, this method completely gives full play to their advantages.
And on such a narrow high wall, the ability to fight alone is much higher than the ability to fight in groups.
After all, it is impossible for the troops invested by the two parties to exceed three people in one aisle.
Whichever side has a husband who is the general of the Guan, which side has the advantage.
Therefore, as soon as Li Xiuning's method came out, it was immediately recognized by many soldiers present.
"Yes, that's what we can do to our advantage.
Within a day or two, a slope could be pushed out under the seven or eight zhang high city walls.
When the time comes, it will be easy to break through this section of the wall.
Although it took a long time, it was much better than the heavy losses of the soldiers. ”
The moon slave also agreed.
If you have enough siege equipment, you can actually do without this risky method
But Li Xiuning's subordinates were only about 2,000 soldiers.
It is simply not enough to afford such a huge amount of qi and blood.
Not even a ladder.
Even if it were to be manufactured now, it would take at least two or three days.
The ladder, on the other hand, can only be supported by wood, and is most afraid of fire.
This is not a big threat to the Liaodong Army, which is entrenched on the high wall.
Therefore, although the method of dumping public relations is very stupid, the effect is very low.
But at present, it is one of the most effective methods.
At dawn, the fire was still raging.
But the temperature above the high walls had dropped, and many soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield in water-soaked clothes.
On the other side, five or six hundred soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty occupied the position on the strong side.
Using some shields and the broken armor of the soldiers, the wooden door was re-erected.
Form a simple defensive pass.
And after a night of fighting, Li Xiuning was not afraid at all that the Liaodong Army would launch a battle charge in the early hours of the morning.
Immediately let the soldiers quickly trim up.
And with this wooden door, the view is blocked.
Many Liaodong troops also didn't know whether behind this wooden gate were soldiers sleeping soundly, or the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui Dynasty armed to the teeth with bows and crossbows.
Plus two consecutive defeats in your own battles.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers in the army who want to fight, but there are especially many people who choose to stick to the city walls.
Faced with such a situation, the two generals did not know how to choose.
can only sigh in his tent, trying to find a way to break the situation.
The two defeats made the soldiers doubt the general's command ability.
For the strength of the opponent, it is almost a fear.
Hundreds of soldiers, carefully cleaning the city walls of the city for traces of battle.
But just then, someone heard the sound of steel clashing.
Some people subconsciously looked down.
I saw hundreds of soldiers under the high walls, using carts made of rudimentary wooden planks to push dirt continuously.
In a short period of time, a high platform has been established.
Seeing this scene, many people were stupid.
The two soldiers ran quickly into the camp.
"General, the enemy is moving again, you better go and take a look."
The two generals just had a little respite.
After hearing this voice, his body suddenly trembled, and he couldn't care about the map on the table.
He immediately walked out of the tent and came under the city wall to look out, and was overshadowed.
I saw only the soldiers under the high wall, and the number of them gathered more and more.
Some of them carried burlap sacks on their shoulders, still under the high walls
。
Others pushed carts and quickly hoarded the dirt.
In just a few dozen breaths, huge bags of dirt have been piled up, two or three feet high.
"Oh my God.
They, it is, heap the dirt to tackle the problem. ”
The two generals on the city wall were covered in cold hair all at once.
The voice of one of the generals changed.
"Quick, give the order down, and let everyone hold the wall at once.
The soldiers and horses of the Great Sui Dynasty began to attack the city wall. ”
The high wall, which had just stopped for a short time, was lively again.
The army quickly gathered, grabbed crossbows and longbows, and hurried to the top of the high wall.
Then the trumpet sounded again.
Some Liaodong soldiers who had just fallen asleep for a long time woke up from their dreams again.
On top of the high wall, two generals instructed their soldiers to adjust the angle.
With a wave of his hand.
Hundreds of feathered arrows fell from the sky.
"Hurry up and don't give them a chance to pile up mountains of dirt."
