After the front-line soldiers filled the moat, the trapped army did not immediately launch an offensive, but another team of soldiers replaced, their hands were not swords and weapons, nor siege equipment, but wooden planks, hemp rope and shovels and other tools, for the defenders on the head of the city are quite unfamiliar with the Youzhou army under the city, but the siege side is already familiar to everyone, engineers! Now that the main force of the Youzhou Army has an establishment of 800 artificial barracks, it is time for them to play their role.

With planks and hemp rope and some other auxiliary tools, the engineer battalion quickly built a flat wooden bridge with a width of five zhang and extremely strong over the moat, looking at the width of the Youzhou army's well is enough to pass from above, and the rush is no exception, Gao Shun does not care about the time of the attack, he wants to make all the preparations to the extreme. In this way, the enemy army can only wait and see from the city and cannot be disturbed, and after a long time, there will definitely be some unbearable emotions, which can be regarded as the psychological tactics that the military advisor said.

Zhang Ji and the others may be tired of the actions of the Youzhou army coming and going under the city, they have built three wooden bridges alone, but Guan Hai on the high platform is watching intently, the sappers are busy in front, and the rear of the trapped army is always in a sortie posture, and will not be slackened because of the performance of the enemy army.

From the beginning of the attack to the erection of three pontoon bridges on the moat, the trapping army spent a total of half an hour, at this time the soldiers responsible for filling the river have retreated back to rest temporarily, and there are two teams of 500 soldiers each on the top, Zhang Ji and a group of generals on the city head saw this and took a deep breath, Gao Shun's clean pre-battle preparations have been completed, and he will definitely launch an attack on the south city of Luoyang. There is no such thing as any fancy to speak of, and it will soon be seen how the siege of the trapped army will be able to attack the fortified position.

"Push up the well, suppress the archers at the head of the enemy's city, attack the battlements of No. 3 to No. 9 in one song, and rush at his gate in the second song, and prepare to break through from the urn city." Gao Shun issued a military order in a deep voice, although in the strategy of the Youzhou Army, the biggest purpose of Gao Shun's attack on Nancheng was to make the enemy have no time to take care of it, but if he could break through here and take Jing Fang directly, why not, as long as he attacked the city, he would do his best.

Sixteen wells were pushed up, and the foot soldiers crossed the river first and did not immediately impact, but waited for the wells to be in place, Zhang Ji looked at the orderly actions of the trapped army is a secret hatred in his heart, if those bed crossbows were still there, where could the other party be so arrogant? It's a pity that the bed crossbow is delicate and powerful, but it is difficult to recover, and now he can only look at the army and sigh, and there is a lack of effective means of attack when he is not within the range of the bow and arrow.

After all the wells had successfully passed through the pontoon bridge, the first to attack became the side of the trap army, with thirty crossbowmen on each well, each carrying a pot of thirty feathered arrows, and there would be special soldiers responsible for transporting the arrows. These 480 crossbowmen were to be responsible for suppressing the archers at the head of the opposing city. A well-crafted bow and crossbow can give them a range of up to thirty paces greater than that of the enemy.

Thirty steps is almost negligible for infantry and cavalry, but for archers it is a qualitative leap, what does it mean? This means that the crossbowmen of the trap army above the well can attack the defenders of the city, but the latter are not able to reach the whip, or the damage is greatly reduced. In the battle array, it has become an absolute suppression and advantage, and the well of the Youzhou army has also been carefully designed with equipment, both in terms of space and height and stability, providing a condition for the crossbowmen to play to their best.

On that day, Liu Yi said that the art of war was cloudy, the time and place were favorable, and the sending troops to the Youzhou Army was a traitor to the country, and the other party was a rebellious move, and the righteousness of the time was in the former. In terms of geographical advantages, after the fire of Luoyang, the defense capability of the eastern capital has decreased a lot, and Langsheng knows its advantages and disadvantages well, even if the advantage of the enemy army defending the city is at most, the two are shared! As for Ren and Zhang Ji, there is no way to mention it at all, in addition, coupled with the factors of combat power and sophisticated equipment, Langsheng dares to concentrate the main force in Nancheng, but it is by no means reckless.

Soon the defenders of the head of the southern city began to experience the pain of being beaten passively and could not fight back, the opponent's crossbowmen were obviously strictly trained, both the accuracy and the rate of fire had a very high level, the first shot made the opponent fall dozens of soldiers, the rest of the defenders couldn't help but cling to the battlements to avoid the arrows, just at this time the red flag in Gao Shun's hand was raised, and the trapping army rushed up.

The trap army also has the Feiyan army, the equipment battalion, the engineer battalion, and the bow and crossbow team, but how to integrate them into one in the siege battle to maximize the effect? Gao Shun and the trapped army in front undoubtedly taught him a vivid lesson, Ziping lowered his head at this time and wrote hard for a while, and then hurriedly raised his head for fear of missing any of the excitement, his Feiyan army has the responsibility of auxiliary attack, after today he will give full play to what he saw today, and next time the Feiyan army will not give Zhang He the matter of breaking the city.

Seeing Guan Hai like this, Liu Yi was also relieved, in addition to Zhang Yan, Zhou Cang, Zhang Niujiao, Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban generals were far inferior to Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xu Huang and others, but their hard work in the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy even Liu Yi was a little moved, I remember that Lang Sheng also asked a few people, and they all said that they had never had such an opportunity before, so the lord gave it and firmly grasped it! And Guan Hai is the most diligent of the three, and Guo Jia, a drama talent, is a little annoyed by him, but in Liu Yi's opinion, Guan Hai will become a big tool in the future.

In the siege battle, the attacking soldiers are most afraid of the rain of arrows and rolling wood and thunder stones pouring down from the opponent's city, and the golden soup is boiling, and the skirmish impact tactics refined by the Youzhou soldiers are to avoid the killing of the arrow rain to the greatest extent. Now, by using the long-range advantage of the crossbowmen to suppress the enemy army, their scruples will be greatly reduced, especially the trapped camp that is good at attacking the city, and soon rushed to the city with a ladder. Of course, the crossbowmen of the Youzhou Army can't block all the opponent's counterattacks, but this step is enough.

Skillfully erect the ladder, and then use all the force, the latter will fall to the head of the city, at the top of it there are two extremely sharp hooks, with the weight of the fall can be deeply hooked into the battlement, at this time in the first person not only climbed up much more stable, the enemy can no longer push the ladder down. This time, the hundreds of ladders are carefully designed according to the height of Luoyang Nancheng, with Liu Yi's memory and extremely accurate calculations, the ladders have played a great effect in Nancheng, and there are almost no errors.

Whether it is a bow or a crossbow, a ladder, including a well and an upcoming rush, these are all in the category of military technology, even if they do not achieve a qualitative leap, it is a great improvement, and Liu Yi's knowledge from later generations has played a great role in this, making the brave and warlike trap army even more powerful.

When the ladder is erected on the head of Luoyang City, and the soldiers in the trap climb on it, the fierce siege battle finally begins, and at this moment the defenders can't care about the rain of arrows above the well, those are fatal, but if they want to be climbed up to the head of the city by the enemy, they will end in failure! Zhang Ji also dispatched a lot of strong crossbowmen to shoot at the Youzhou army, although the range was not as good as the opponent's, but at least there was a height difference to make up for it.

Facing the falling rocks and other objects at the head of the city, the sergeants bravely went forward, casualties inevitably appeared, and the crossbowmen on the well began to be damaged due to the counterattack of the opponent's strong crossbow, but these casualties were already inevitable in the siege, in other words, if you were vulgar, where would there be immortals in the war? Gao Shun was of course prepared for this, for example, the three soldiers with the best shooting skills on each well had already begun to attack those strong crossbowmen, and the leather armor on their bodies was also tougher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Watching the bodies of his comrades continue to fall from a height, and there will be all kinds of tragic situations, but the soldiers in the trap still fight bravely to be the first, and this will never affect their mood and fighting spirit. If you learn not to disregard your own life and the lives of others on the battlefield, it will only make you die faster. Veterans of a hundred battles must have such psychological qualities, and the battlefield competition is who is ruthless and who is decisive enough to survive in the end.

The third impact, the trapped army rushed to the head of the city and the defenders to fight, for Luoyang such a strong city, such a record has been shocking, a full three hours of fierce fighting, eleven battles in the city, the trapped army paid more than 1,300 casualties, of which 800 were killed, this is still the first day, but the casualties of the defenders are by no means under the attacker, and even exceed. It is almost unimaginable in an ordinary siege battle, but with its super combat power and military technology one step ahead, the Youzhou Army has done it.

Before dusk, Gao Shun chose to withdraw the army, today's siege he is still relaxed, after all, it is only the first day, the trapped army must find out all the advantages and disadvantages of the southern city clearly, like Luoyang, a Xiongcheng wants to capture one day is tantamount to a daydream, the first few days will be a kind of accumulation. Of course, if the enemy defenders make a major mistake, Gao Jingfang will definitely not be polite. But judging from Zhang Ji's performance today, it can still be called decent, especially the response to the crossbowmen is quite fast.

Seeing that the trapped army had retreated, the defenders and non-commissioned officers all looked the same, and they could finally relax, since they began to attack, their nerves had always been in a high degree of tension, and now that they had relaxed, the huge fatigue immediately swept over, and many people sat down on the ground and gasped.

The soldiers can relax Zhang Ji but no, just one day of fighting Gao Shun brought himself such a large casualty, next? Even if he thought he was well prepared, but in the actual battle, he found that the strength of the enemy army had exceeded his imagination, and Gao Shun did not seem to have done his best today, and the attack of the trapped army had been controlled within a certain rhythm, he could feel it. Today, the enemy forces are not without the intention of probing, and it is foreseeable that the intensity of the attack will increase in intensity in the next few days.
