The soldiers of Bengang held shields and long knives in their hands, and while guarding against the feathered arrows from the opposite tower, they slashed and forced the natives who jumped on the city wall to fall back under the wall.

In fact, the best way to deal with this bulky tower is to have a knockout catapult, and a stone bullet weighing several hundred pounds hits the tower, which is basically the result of falling apart.

It's just that there are a lot of firearms in Bengang today, but there is not a single catapult. Come to think of it, whether it is a ******** institution like the Ming Dynasty or other organizations, the siege method of catapults is gradually changing, and it has been replaced by firearms.

And Bengang Zhao Xingdou Although they are not from the military, their brains are not furnished, and after the cannon fails, they are trying their best to deal with the tower, so they think about it and have this foolishness.

But now they have a problem in front of them, but the construction of a catapult cannot be done in a day or two. In the past few days, when Zhao Xingdou and the others came up with this method, they had already stepped up the craftsmen and masters of the carpenter workshop to make catapults, but the restrictions on raw material warfare and production technology were only made now.

It will take at least half a month to wait until the catapult is actually put into use, but I am afraid that it will be time

Maybe this battle is over!

Therefore, the players at this time can only fight with each other with sharp and accurate archery skills on the opposite side, and they can fight with each other, and the result can be thought of without much thought.

It was just a tentative attack, and the natives almost gained a firm foothold on the city wall, but in the end, it was Wu Hu and the others who saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately organized a group of team members to beat the other party down the city wall desperately. It's just this charge, because there are no scruples and defensive measures, there are dozens of dead and wounded team members.

After more than an hour of tentative attack, it finally came to an end when the natives voluntarily gave up the offensive, and the natives below carried wooden shields and cleaned up the battlefield under the watchful eyes of the team members on the city wall, and the corpses or wounded were carried to a place by them for proper placement. However, with their medical skills, the injured natives are not so much being treated, but relying on their own physique to resist, and the past that can resist is considered fate, and if they can't resist, they will naturally not mention anything, and become a member of the pile of cold corpses.

On the other hand, the medical system is completely different from other places, with a large number of trained first aid personnel flooding the team members, and every time there is a wounded, there is a battlefield first aid to give first aid to the wounded, and those who are too seriously injured will be directly released to the battlefield and handed over to the doctor for treatment. Therefore, although Li Tianyang and his team have fought a lot in the past two years, the real casualties are not too many, and the proportion of deaths due to ineffective or deteriorating treatment of injuries is far lower than the overall proportion of this era.

It's just that although everyone is now on top of a high wall, with the tower erected outside, they are like a man, and the whole defense action is sluggish, and the casualties are not small.

You must know that in Bengang now, there are only soldiers in their early 1,000s and villagers who defend this inner city within a radius of no less than three or four miles. In this tentative attack alone, there were no less than 100 casualties, and the casualty ratio was nearly 1/10, which made Zhao Xingdou and them feel a little negative about defending Bengang.

Of course, there are many casualties on the Bengang side, but there are naturally more on the indigenous side, as the attackers, although there are a few towers behind them to suppress the Bengang warriors on the city wall, but after all, the Bengang side is condescending, has a natural geographical advantage, and the firearms are very sharp. Under this round of attacks, more than a thousand natives who tried to attack also lost a small half of them at once.

Subsequently, everyone also died down, and each brought the combat personnel to discuss what was in this battle.

The natives besieged the city, and this was the first time in their own history. The opponents they faced in the past were at most a civil wall more than a foot high, but without other tools, the agile indigenous warriors could even climb over this wall with only one loan. Elder Dahai had thought of too many ways for the sake of Bengang's opponent before, and the tower was one of them, and now it seems that the effect is extremely good. It's just that there is a problem in front of them now, but they can't invest too much manpower on the city wall at one time to gain a foothold, but it is like adding fuel to the fire, and wave after wave of warriors are continuously sent up, failing to put strong pressure on the opponent's city wall.

Therefore, they took advantage of the truce to speed up the assembly of the long ladder and prepare to expand the battlefield and direct the war in the other two directions.

It's not that they didn't think of attacking from multiple points at first, but only attacking the southern wall, but the tower is too cumbersome, and it would take hundreds of natives to move it together. Therefore, when they tried to attack, they also wanted to concentrate on the towers and did not disperse them.

Now that the tower has been built, and then they find out that Bengang now has no weapons that can threaten the tower, this is why they have the idea of attacking from multiple sides to expand their numerical advantage.

And Bengang's side now also hates the tower more than ten zhang away, but there is nothing to be done! In order to deal with these towers that were taller than their city walls, Zhao Xingdou and these warriors all changed their clothes, stood on the high city walls, and each of them had a sword and a shield, a standard sea combat suit.

That's it, often the action is too big, and when a flaw is exposed, a feather arrow will be shot from a distant place, so that the team members feel as if they are tied hands and feet when fighting.

However, in the end, Zhao Xingdou came up with a compromise plan, that is, to use fire attack. Of course, it is not easy for a normal rocket to ignite these towers made of pure hard wood, but if a small cart is used to launch a few cans of fuel on the tower in advance, and then ignite it with a rocket, the effect is different.

The time and skill required for a large trebuchet are very high, but it doesn't take much time to make a small throwing cart that only needs to be able to throw more than ten zhang away and weighs only about ten catties.

It's just that this plan can only be used once, and there is no second chance to use it, because there are too many ways to deal with their fire attack plan, as long as the natives on the opposite side are prepared, it is very difficult for them to make contributions again. The natives are not stupid and cannot lose twice under the same tactic, let alone such a rudimentary tactic.

In this way, the first day of the battle only released a tentative attack by the natives, and for the rest of the day, everyone was safe and sound, preparing for the next battle.
