Besiege!

Gao Shun gave an order, and the front army began to advance slowly.

Although the Bingzhou army is not well-equipped, it has often been enemies of the Huns for a long time, and it can be regarded as a relatively strong local army in combat effectiveness.

Naturally, it is not comparable to those Taiping soldiers in the south who have never seen a battle formation.

Although they lost for a while yesterday, it did not affect the foundation of the state army, and they are still one of the best local armies.

Especially under the command of Gao Shun, the state army can exert a powerful destructive power.

Although Gao Shun was only a general under Ding Yuan, he was very talented in commanding the army, and he became one of the actual commanders of the Bingzhou Army in a short period of time.

The cavalry looked at Lu Bu and the infantry looked at Gao Shun, which became a highlight of the Bingzhou army.

Although Ding Yuan is the supreme commander, he is far inferior to these two subordinates in terms of real talent and learning.

Defend!

Yu Ban at the head of the city also shouted loudly, and at this moment, he was also ready.

In view of the fact that artillery is the core secret of Yunzhou, Yu Ban did not use this force.

Even with conventional tactics, he was confident that he would defeat the state army.

Not relying too much on the crockpot bomb with great lethality, this is the quality that the unsuccessful should have.

"Stone-throwing truck ready!"

In the forbidden hand, the command flag was waved.

Crockpot bombs can be dispensed with, but artillerymen can't do without stone-throwing trucks.

Although Guo Jia's modified catapult's ability to throw heavy objects has been greatly reduced, it is condescending to be installed on the city wall, and it will also cause huge damage to the attacker early.

Launch!

Wave the ban flag!

The gun carriages mounted on the city walls were constantly running, and although they could only throw a few small heavy objects, they were still very lethal from the heights.

"Front Army Defense!"

Gao Shun of the state army ordered the flag to be displayed.

The front army, under his command, changed formation.

The soldier holding the big shield, against the rain of stones on his head, slowly advanced forward.

Under the protection of the big shield soldiers, the catapult of the state army slowly came to the moat.

"Launch!"

Gao Shun also roared!

The catapults of the state army began to operate.

Their catapults were larger than those of the Yunzhou army, and the stones they threw were heavier and had a longer range.

However, the shape is simple, the precision is not high, and there is no substantial destructive power to people. But their purpose was not to hurt people, but to destroy the walls.

In this era, except for a few large cities, most of the other small cities were built of rammed earth.

For these rammed earth cities, the stone thrower is a disaster.

Whoosh!

Huge rocks bombarded the city walls, knocking out one deep pit after another.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

On the forbidden hand, the flag was unfurled.

The crossbowmen of the Yunzhou army appeared on the city wall.

In order to fight against the Xiongnu archers, Guo Jia deliberately concentrated the crossbowmen in Yunzhou with a force of 5,000 people.

In the battle to annihilate the Qiangqu tribe, these crossbowmen made great achievements.

After the battle, these 5,000 crossbowmen were also scattered and assigned to other troops, but the Yu Ban Corps, which was responsible for guarding the Yunzhou Administration, had more than 3,000 people.

This time when he came to Beijing, Guo Jia brought it all.

Three thousand crossbowmen is not a small number, and it is condescending and extremely lethal.

Whoosh!

Countless arrows rained down.

The big shield of the army before the state was naturally insufficient, and the place without shield protection immediately turned over on their backs.

"Get on the board!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Shun immediately waved the flag and changed the formation.

The Great Shield Soldier made a few paths, and countless soldiers stepped out from behind the Great Shield Soldier with wooden planks.

These men were very strange, each holding a large wooden plank, which, when combined, could cover most of the rain of arrows at the head of the city.

Aggressive!

Countless feather arrows were nailed to the plank formation of the former army of the state, and the damage was greatly reduced.

The front army of the state army, under the cover of the plank formation, continued to advance.

Boy!

Yu Ban nodded secretly.

This Gao Shun is really not a simple person.

Faced with the rain of arrows on the city, he broke the plank array with one move.

Compared to large shields, these planks are very light and practical.

After a while, the state army attacked in front of the moat.

The battle line of the catapult also began to move forward, and the range of the catapult of the state army was originally more than that of Yunzhou.

"Catapult retreat!"

Yu Ban made a decision immediately!

The artillery's stone throwers were not professional at throwing heavy objects, and hand-to-hand combat did not play a role, so Yu Ban immediately let them withdraw from the battlefield.

"Sword and shield hand forward!"

If the command is determined!

Since the opponent's crossbowmen and stone-throwing carts had already pressed forward, Yu Ban immediately commanded his sword and shield hands to step forward and protect his crossbowmen.

There was already such a little space on the head of the city, and as soon as the sword and shield hand entered, the space of the crossbowman was greatly compressed.

At most, only a third of the 3,000 people can make a difference.

In this way, the offensive of the state army was greatly reduced.

"Great shield forward, lay the planks!"

Gao Shun waved the order flag again.

The Great Shield stepped forward again, taking the place of the plank formation's defenses.

The plank formation of the state auxiliaries dismantled the plank formation and began to lay planks in the moat.

It turns out that the plank formation also has this wonderful use, that is, to pave the way on the moat.

Wen County is just a small city, and the moat is not wide.

Soon countless roads were paved on the moat by the state army.

Without the protection of the plank formation, the front troops of the state army fell in the rain of arrows one after another.

However, they still stubbornly paved the road to facilitate the passage of their comrades.

Combat is brutal and deadly.

That's sacrifice!

Without sacrifice, there can be no victory.

The state army withstood the sacrifice and paved the road on the moat on the outskirts of Wen County.

"Attack!"

Gao Shun pulled out his long knife.

Kill!

The state army swarmed in, and countless people set up a ladder in the face of the rain of arrows and began to climb upward.

At this moment, the siege began.

……

"Gao Shun is really a general!"

Guo Jia, who was watching the battle in the city tower, showed an eager look in his eyes.

From this battle, the state army was not chaotic, step by step, not afraid of sacrifice, and finally reached the foot of the city.

Especially in the face of the rain of arrows on the city, the front army did not have any fear, even if it was a medium arrow, there was no retreat.

The entire siege force moved skillfully in an orderly manner, which shows that this Gao Shun is very rigorous.

"Gao Shun is indeed very good!"

Xu Shu on the side also nodded slowly.

As a general, Gao Shun's actions really have nothing to find fault with.

"Yu Wen is afraid that he will run into an opponent!"

Xu Shu said meaningfully.

Yu Ban is the number one general in Yunzhou, and this Gao Shun is probably also the number one general in the state, who is more powerful in the two first long-lasting?

He was also looking forward to it.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a gleam.

Forbidden!

Don't let this official down!
