250, can only watch
The method of filling the moat that Zhu Wei is playing now can also be regarded as a siege method that transcends the times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
So Zhu Zhi on the gate tower of Qiantang County couldn't help but be a little surprised, this is really a little unexpected to him, according to the ordinary siege methods of this year, encountering such a wide moat in Qiantang County, the siege convenience can only be in the countryside around Qiantang County to drive thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, miscellaneous servants and other ordinary people, let them carry the feather arrows on the city, holding sand bags to fill the moat.
If these coerced civilians were relatives of the soldiers defending the city, it could also affect the morale of the defenders, so that the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to shoot the people who buried the moat with arrows at will.
But normally, the defenders will not scruple too much, and will eventually shoot the people who buried the moat, so that before the siege officially begins, the besieging side will seem to have suffered heavy casualties.
Although the dead were all civilians and miscellaneous servants, the corpses of these people, the blood that flowed, and the screams of their injuries all had an impact on the morale of the besieging party.
But now Zhu Wei's method of filling the moat makes the defenders a little helpless, but they will be a little weak.
They could only watch the besieging side bury the moat that guarded the city, but they couldn't have any countermeasures, unless they opened the city gate and killed it, but now Zhu Zhi naturally didn't dare to do this.
Therefore, now Zhu Wei's siege method will improve the morale of the besieging party, making people feel that the siege is actually very simple, as long as the pressure is passed step by step.
This method did make Zhu Zhi on the gate tower of Qiantang County feel a little helpless, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Zhu Weiru really knows some siege skills, and he doesn't know the means from the military book.
So Zhu Zhi simply asked his soldiers not to release arrows, anyway, the feather arrows shot down on the city wall did not pose any threat to the Zhu Wei soldiers hiding in the cave house, and they would only waste the feather arrows defending the city in vain.
As a result, there was a strange atmosphere on the siege battlefield, and both the besieging and defending sides could only watch as four cave carts ran back and forth on the battlefield, transporting mud and stones, bamboo rafts, and building passages on the moat little by little.
Until a passage appears in the moat, there is not much to do for both the attackers and the defenders.
However, in any case, the besieging side has the advantage, eliminating the moat of the defending side little by little, reducing the difficulty of the siege.
Therefore, the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side saw that Qiantang County had no response to this, and they couldn't help shouting excitedly, and under Zhu Wei's order, the flag in front of the battle was also swaying excitedly in the flag-bearer, which made people dazzled.
In the Chinese army array commanded by Zhu Wei, the war drums erected on several carriages were also shaken again and again by the drumming soldiers, and it seemed that the siege momentum on Zhu Wei's side was very lively, and the morale was also swelled to the highest state.
But Zhu Zhi, who was on the gate tower of Qiantang County, although he could only watch the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side fill the moat, he was still not too worried, after all, the real siege stage was after the moat was filled.
Now it seems that Zhu Wei did not bring siege ladders and other equipment, perhaps some lack of preparation, so Zhu Wei could only forcibly destroy the city gate to attack Qiantang County.
At that time, Zhu Zhi could naturally defend the city gate, so that Zhu Wei's soldiers could have a good look at what a flesh-and-blood battlefield was.
At the same time, Zhu Zhi also strengthened the defense of Qiantang County before, and he was also prepared inside the city gate, on the one hand, he built a simple urn city inside the city gate, and on the other hand, he also prepared stone sandbags, which could block the side bottom of the city gate at any time.
In this way, the Zhu guards who did not prepare a ladder would not be able to enter Qiantang County at all, and would only die in vain in front of the city gate.
So now it seems that Zhu Wei's movement of filling the moat here is full of momentum, and the morale of the soldiers is excited, but Zhu Zhi is also in a stable mood, but he let the soldiers defending the city recuperate and wait for the next siege and bloody battle.
Although the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side looked very moraled, these soldiers also showed the essence of lack of training, and now they are so excited that it is actually a bit of a waste of energy.
Zhu Zhi looked at the performance of those soldiers in Zhu Wei's army, and said that he was very confident that he could hold Qiantang County, and in his opinion, these soldiers brought by Zhu Wei were killed and wounded in front of the city gate, and it was enough to run away.
Zhu Zhi even began to think about whether he should block the land gate of Qiantang County, and if Zhu Wei's soldiers retreated, whether he should chase them out.
If he really blocked the land gate, could he go to the water gate to pursue Zhu Wei, maybe he could defeat Zhu Wei's army in a battle.
Based on Zhu Zhi's military experience, it is not impossible for him to judge the situation.
Because the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side really don't have much combat effectiveness now, and many of the soldiers in Shanyin County haven't even really killed people in blood, if Zhu Wei really attacks the city, it may really collapse.
It's a pity that Zhu Wei just pretended to attack the city, and here it was to attract Zhu Zhi's attention and attract Zhu Zhi's troops, so as to delay Ling Cao and Zhou Xin on the side of Watergate.
So Zhu Zhi will only be disappointed in the end.
In this way, time passed little by little in the back and forth of those cave house cars, and the soldiers beating the drums on Zhu Wei's side were changed twice, but it still took some time to fill the moat.
In fact, the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side who have not been trained much feel a little bored, and they have little experience, so they can't help muttering in their hearts, it turns out that the siege is like this, it's really boring, I knew that it was better to wait for the moat to be filled in before letting them come, and now standing like this, blowing the northwest wind, it still feels a little cold.
The soldiers and men on the left and right flanks even began to lose their formation, and many began to stomp and jump to warm themselves in the cold wind.
This inevitably made Zhu Zhi on the city gate upstairs laugh even more, such a soldier actually dared to attack Qiantang County, is this Zhu Wei too arrogant, I am afraid that when I get to the city gate, I will be shot by random arrows, and I will all scatter in a hurry.
Zhu Wei actually saw the commotion of the soldiers on the left and right wings, but Zhu Wei didn't pay attention to these, he was just secretly paying attention to the situation of Ling Cao and Zhou Xin's attack on the Water Gate through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system.
Now Ling Cao and Zhou Xin on the side of the Water Gate have cleared the obstacles such as fishing nets and wooden stakes on the periphery, which is also the information that Zhu Wei sent someone to drive a boat to find out last night.
But some time was wasted, but at this moment, ships of all sizes could already get close to the water gate in Qiantang County.
Therefore, according to the previous drill in Shanyin County, Ling Cao and Zhou Xin sent two small boats to withstand the feather arrows and falling rocks on the wall of the Water Gate, and approached the thick wooden fence of the Water Gate.
There are three wooden fences on this side of the water gate, and there seems to be an iron fence made of iron and stone between them, which can be said to be tightly guarded.
Because the fence was hollowed out, the defenders of Qiantang County could shoot arrows through the gap in the wooden fence inside the water gate, so under normal conditions, it was difficult to attack the water gate by boat.
But now it's different......
