"There's a dock to the south, what if they crossed the river and broke through?"

Wang Fifty-six is quite satisfied with this task, and when he comes out with the new army, it would be good to be able to get miscellaneous work, don't expect to be the main force. But he still has questions about the overall arrangement, and it seems that he is a little negligent in encircling three sides, regardless of the Yellow River

"Don't worry about the affairs in the south, Lao Qi, divide half of the artillery and prepare to go to the east of the city to help in the battle, and bring more shotguns."

Hong Tao knew that there was also a south gate in Yingli City, and outside the gate was the Yellow River ferry, and there were also boats. But the Tangut people must not attack the idea of these ships, they will be fine if they do not leave the dock, and if they dare to escape, they will immediately become a live target for field artillery.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses of the lower officials can also help in the battle!" Wang Hou also knew that he couldn't do any serious work by following the new army, but he felt that the militia had gone into battle, and the good he brought was also a forbidden army, so he couldn't even be inferior to the militia.

"You're all gone, and you're leaving this king here alone? Wang Shuaisi is a little restless, go and bring the baby elephant play, put the wine, you and I will also have a golden iron horse on the play! ”

As for the 1,000 forbidden troops led by Wang Hou, even if they are all equipped with pulley crossbows, it is useless, so they can simply be guards. But Hong Tao didn't want to wander around in the forbidden army camp, what if someone from the Imperial City Division gave him an arrow, he would better stay in his camp.

The little elephant play is the chess of later generations, and there is a chess game called elephant play in the Northern Song Dynasty that is similar to chess, that is, there are many chess pieces, the chessboard is large, and there are no soldiers around the main general, so it has become a partial general and a general, and the gameplay is slightly different.

Hong Tao is a stinky chess basket, not Wang Hou's opponent at all, but his ability to play repentant chess is first-class, so no one likes to play chess with him, and he can't afford that god.

At half past seven in the morning, the siege battle began. There were no groups of soldiers attacking the city, no ladders and rushing carts, and only two lonely box wagons were pushed by seven or eight sappers to the two main attack sites in the north and south and slowly approached the moat.

As long as there is a figure shaking on the city wall, there will be one or two crisp sounds in the distance, and if you look closely, there will be a puff of white smoke on the ground dozens of meters behind the array of new soldiers.

Usually at this time, there will be blood on the head of the city, either half of the head is missing or there is a big hole in the body, and basically it will not survive. In addition, the siege of Yingli City should be regarded as the most polite and quiet in history.

The defenders had nothing to do in such a situation, so they threw it with a trebuchet, and all the enemies were out of range except for the box cart. Trebuchets aren't something that can shoot accurately, and it's a matter of luck to get them to hit a moving box cart. Apparently luck was not on the defender's side, and the box cart soon reached the moat and entered the dead end of the trebuchet's firing.

It is supposed that this is the time for the siege crossbow to exert its might, and it was indeed done at first, and the siege crossbows on the nearby city walls were intended to shoot downward. But as the white smoke continued under the city, more than a dozen people would fall next to each siege crossbow, and the ground was covered with blood, and no one dared to approach again.

Counting on the moat...... It's even more unreliable. The people hiding behind the box cart jumped into the water and pushed a wooden box to swim across. At this time, as long as there is any movement in the nearby city, it will attract a cloud of white smoke, and the masonry of the city will be scattered in pieces, but there will be no crossbow arrows in sight.

The northern wall had no moat, and the box carts were pushed directly under the city, and immediately there was the sound of clanging hammers and chisels. The soldiers defending the city kept throwing thunderbolts and stones from the top of the city, but the effect was not good. They couldn't see where the enemy was under the city, and they didn't dare to show their heads, so they could only kill the rat by a blind cat.

Half an hour later, the box car pulled back along the original road, and at the same time, a white smoke quickly burned under the city wall, and in an instant, a continuous loud bang followed, and the city wall was shrouded in smoke and dust for a long time.

The defenders of the nearby city wall were guilty of a terrible crime, and the bricks and stones rained down all over the sky, and their internal organs were like being hit by a galloping bull, and their ears hurt, and their heads were dizzy, and the world was spinning.

Two zhang high, three zhang wide and more than ten zhang long stone cement wall to build the city wall, even if it is filled with rammed earth, it is far from a day's work to build, but it only takes less than an hour to destroy it.

When the dust and smoke dissipated, this section of the city wall has completely collapsed, the west side was blown out of a large ditch with a depth of zhang, and there is still a city wall less than one zhang high on the east side, but it was also all scattered, the outer layer of stones scattered as far as dozens of meters away, and the internal rammed earth also returned to its original form, loosely piled up, and any strength was gone.

"In this way, how to defend the city in the future!" Wang Hou sat with his back to the direction of Yingli City, and at this time he was turning his head to look at the big gap and lamenting. His lifelong skill is defense, and it is inevitable that there will be some sad feelings about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Even if I knew in advance that the new army had more powerful means than the medicine rolls used to open mines, I didn't expect it to be so easy. If you want to make a hole in the stone wall and place the medicine scroll, you have to pay at least a hundred lives.

When the Western Xia attacked Liangzhou, it was not that it did not do this, but it did not succeed once, at most it was to pile up thunderbolt bombs in the corner of the wall and ignite them, the effect cannot be said to be none, but it really did not have much damage to the city wall, so it was necessary to throw a corpse to barely do it.

But the long sticks in the hands of the new army were much more domineering than the pulley crossbows, especially the soldiers who were lying on the ground, the sticks in their hands were thicker and longer, and they could accurately shoot the defenders on the head of the city in about a mile. It cannot be said that there are no arrows, and there are no arrows to be seen, but as soon as the white smoke rises, it is gone.

If the defenders on the city wall couldn't stop the enemy from digging holes under the city wall, Wang Hou felt that he didn't need to dig the medicine rolls for mining, not even thunderbolts, and he could send people to dig up the city wall by force.

"Without this certainty, how can this king have more enemies with less. This is nothing, after Erlang and the others go to the east of the city to take their seats, there will be good things for Brother Chu Dao to see. When weapons change, the mode of warfare must change with them, and we cannot stick to the rules. Brother Dao doesn't have to worry about uselessness, this king's ability will be taught, and with muskets and artillery, you will still be a rare general. It's just that your chess strength has regressed too much, eat horses! ”

Hong Tao can understand Wang Hou's mood, and what he has learned all his life has come to naught, and no one will feel good if he leaves it alone. But that's not the point, the point is that he secretly moved Wang Hou's horse on the chessboard and moved it to his own hooves.

“…… Chess is like a person, a certain admit defeat! Wang Hou stared at the chessboard and looked at it carefully, probably reviewing it in his mind. But the chess pieces have already been eaten by the family, and they haven't caught the current situation, so in the face of such a skinless, faceless and sharp-toothed master, he can only admit bad luck.

"Official, I'll go...... Drive! Before Wang Hou could finish speaking, a horse came out from a distance, and the rider was none other than Wang Fifty-six.

He was followed by thousands of militiamen, all of whom rushed to the gap in the wall, as if the wall was not made of stone and dirt, but of gold, and whoever arrived first could grab it first.

"Brother Chu Dao thinks that if my young people in the Great Song Dynasty are like them, even if they don't have the king's strange and lewd skills, can they win?" It's good to be young, I'm not afraid of anything, I don't think about anything, I can do anything recklessly, and I can be dripping with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"That's nature...... It's a pity that only Ganliang Road is like this. When the lower officials heard that the imperial court intended to abolish the policy of cultivating fields, they would not let me stay here for a long time. ”

After looking at the militia and then turning his head to look at the forbidden army camp, Wang Hou had to admit that King Liang was right. There is no need for training, as long as the weapons and equipment are similar, and the same number of militia encountering the same number of forbidden troops will not suffer too much in the field. They were superior to the Praetorian Army in any quality, except for the lack of necessary organization and training.

And don't underestimate these vulgar and slightly barbaric pioneers and herdsmen, their second generation is all literate and hyphenation, playing classics, poetry and songs, it is definitely no fun, but when it comes to mathematics, students may not be much stronger.

The change in personality and lifestyle all stemmed from the New Deal more than ten years ago. And the founder of the New Deal sat in front of him, staring at the chess pieces on the chessboard with a thief's light in his eyes. As long as he doesn't notice the slightest, he has to have a chess piece captured.

That's right, this Great Song Dynasty Horse Captain, Wang Xu, who is the king of Liang, has no beauty in chess, and he can't reflect his personality quality, it is completely a goal, win.
