Chapter 363: Evenly matched
"Rolling stones, rolling wood, fire oil ready!"
Seeing that the Bingzhou army had already come to the city, Yu Ban was not in a hurry.
The two sides are in close contact with each other before the siege battle begins, and the previous point can only be regarded as a warm-up.
The auxiliaries of the Yunzhou Army came on the field one after another.
The duty of these men was to hand over the things to the head of the city, and the guards at the head of the city would throw them down and smash the enemy.
The top-down kills are still considerable.
For a while, countless rolling stones and trees fell on the heads of the Bingzhou army, instantly turning the people they beat on their backs.
If the bow and crossbow throwing stones can still resist, then the rolling stones and trees falling from the sky are unstoppable.
The attacker must survive with flesh and blood.
If you hold on, you will have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand, and if you can't hold it, you can only become a ghost under the city.
It was also the most tragic moment of the siege.
Some people were smashed into pulp by rolling stones with shields, some people were pushed down by the defenders with ladders, and some people were drenched in hot oil and wailed to death.
The people in front kept falling, and the people behind still went forward one after another.
This is military discipline, and it is also a contest of wills.
Whoever can hold out until the end will be the winner.
In an instant, the stumps and short blades all over the city turned into a sea of Shura fire.
The soldiers besieging the city didn't even look at the tragic death of Ze Pao around them, they only had to attack and attack again!
The soldiers defending the city did not have the time to lay down their dead brothers, so they had to step on their corpses and continue the battle.
This is a battle of will and faith!
When the brave meets, the brave wins, and whoever is the most ruthless can have the last laugh.
The tragic siege battle continued, and as the commanders of both sides, Yu Ban and Gao Shun were very calm.
There was no tragic scene, no wailing of the soldiers, only the whole battle situation in their eyes.
At this moment, they are chess players, and these soldiers are pawns.
Keeping the battle in mind and ignoring the details is a quality that a good commander needs to have.
The state army is fierce, not afraid of death, and dares to fight hard.
If the Taiping soldiers in the mainland had been replaced, this round of frantic attacks would have destroyed the confidence of the other party long ago.
As soon as the army's spirit is scattered, the victory and defeat are decided.
But this time they encountered the Yunzhou army.
The Yunzhou army crawled out of the pile of corpses all the way.
For the contempt for death, they are no worse than the merger state army, and for the belief in the leader, they are still above the merger state army.
Countless times, the Bingzhou army had climbed to the top of the city and occupied a powerful position, but in the end it was driven down by the crazy Yunzhou army.
So, it's a close war.
War is like a machine, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers.
In an hour's effort, thousands of corpses lay down under the city of Wenxian. There are those who merge with the state army, and there are also those who have the Yunzhou army.
However, the Yunzhou army occupied the advantage of the city, and the casualties were much smaller than those of the Bingzhou army.
Ding Yuan, who had been fighting all the time, couldn't sit still.
He originally thought that the defeat of Wen County was a very smooth effort, and in his eyes, no army was the opponent of the Bingzhou army.
But what he never expected was that Wen County seemed to be able to fight better than he imagined, and now he has been fighting for nearly two hours, and the state army has suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and he still has not taken the city of Wen County.
I didn't even climb the top of the city.
Gao Shun!
Ding Yuan roared angrily: "What's going on? ”
He was a very self-righteous man.
Self-righteous people usually think about problems from their own perspective.
Ding Yuan didn't think that the Bingzhou Army was inferior to the Yunzhou Army, let alone that he was inferior to Guo Jia, and the reason why he couldn't fight now was only one more reason, that is, Gao Shun's improper command.
Self-righteous people are not wrong, and the fault is someone else's.
"Lord Thorn Shi!"
Gao Shun hugged his fists and said: "The Yunzhou army has strict discipline, strong combat effectiveness, and the generals responsible for defending the city are skillful in their tactics, so there are really no flaws. ”
During this period, Gao Shun has changed the siege method many times, but he was still cracked by Yu Ban one by one.
Gao Shun realized that he had encountered a difficult opponent.
"Bastard!"
Ding Yuan sank his face.
"I and the state army fought a bloody battle with the Huns, and everyone can block a hundred with one, especially a small Wen County?"
He snapped his horse.
"Give you another hour to capture the city, otherwise military law will be conducted!"
This......
Gao Shun frowned.
Commanding a battle is originally a process of fighting wits and courage, which depends on the commander's proficiency in tactics on the one hand, and on the other hand, on the commander's on-the-spot performance.
A battle can be determined by how well you play on the spot.
Now Gao Shun and Yu Ban Chess will meet their opponents with good talents, and the two sides will fight wits and courage, and the conventional methods are almost used.
If you want to break the game, you have to win by surprise.
But Ding Yuan gave Gao Shun a time limit, and the most taboo thing to play on the spot is this time limit.
"Do your best!"
Gao Shun said in a low voice.
Yu Ban was a tough opponent, and for the first time, he felt uncertain about the outcome of the fight.
"The whole army obeys the order! Siege the city with all its might. ”
Gao Shun pulled out a long knife and pointed at Wen County and said.
Originally, Gao Shun divided the army into three teams to attack the city in turn, but Ding Yuan had already given the order, and he had no choice but to go all out.
So Gao Shun gave up the step-by-step procedure and began a desperate attack.
The state army heard the order, and the momentum of the offensive rose again.
The pressure in Wenxian County suddenly doubled.
How could Gao Shun be so desperate?
Yu Ban was a little surprised.
After half a day of temptation, he has generally figured out the characteristics of Gao Shun, this person is as cautious and steady as himself, and he is a difficult opponent.
Yu Ban was ready for a tug-of-war.
Because he was not sure of the victory over Gao Shun, who was cautious in his use of troops.
However, the current situation surprised Yu Ban very much, Gao Shun suddenly gave up his caution and began to make a desperate bet.
This doesn't match his character!
Is it a conspiracy?
This was Yu Ban's first thought.
Soon, the state army poured in like a tide and began to attack the city in full force, Yu Ban knew that this was not a conspiracy.
Gao Shun is crazy!
Yu Ban muttered to himself a little, and at the same time felt a little excited in his heart.
At present, although both sides have their own losses, they have not hurt their bones, and now the state army is attacking the city with all its might, which will only backfire.
"The whole army obeys the order and does not let go of the city!"
Yu Ban pulled out his long knife, personally led the guards to the head of the city, and commanded his men to defend the city wall.
……
"The state army is crazy!"
Xu Shu, who was watching the battle, shook his head.
The defenders did not show any fatigue, and the charge at this time could only make the losses greater.
"It's not that the state army is crazy, it's that Ding Yuan is too self-righteous."
Guo Jia smiled.
Ding Yuan!
Xu Shu looked at the direction of the city, and then he saw a clue.
"A layman leads an insider, it really kills!"
He said from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, the current Yunzhou Army is not like this, Guo Jia is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
Not bad!
Guo Jia said with a smile: "There are not many soldiers, but in deployment." Although there are many state troops, it is probably extremely sad to have such a self-righteous boss. ”
