177. The battle is already doomed
After all, Zhu Wei is a modern soul with the memories of later generations, so after watching the previous siege battle, he immediately thought of a lot of ideas to defend the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the interval between the temporary withdrawal of the troops this time, Zhu Wei beckoned people to start building the city defense equipment he had in mind.
In fact, these virtual sheds, falling woods, and virtual shelves to defend the city are all very simple, and they are very easy to build equipment, Zhu Wei asked the 5,000 people on call behind him to start in batches, and it didn't take much time to get some usable equipment to defend the city.
And the pause between this round of battles has probably passed for about half an hour.
The flames that had burned under Yuzhang City were gradually extinguished, the wooden bridges erected over the moat were also burned, and the ground near the city walls was burned under the fire, turning into pieces of dry and dead places that seemed to be crimson, and the strange smell of barbecued meat and the stench of fur after being burned was wafted around.
It's like hell, waiting for a new round of fighting.
And in the Zhenrong army array in front of Yuzhang City, Zhenrong seemed to be leading the whole army and seemed to be chanting some Buddhist scriptures.
For a while, all the Dharma Protector soldiers and Dharma Protector soldiers couldn't help but chant words in their mouths, and they didn't know whether they were reciting the mantra for the Dharma Protector Army who died before, or they were reciting the scriptures of exorcism and demon removal and the protection of gods and Buddhas.
After a while, the chanting in the Zhenrong army basically came to an end, and then as if knocking on the wooden fish, the continuous "aggressive" sound sounded, and all the Zhenrong Buddha soldiers and Dharma Protector soldiers also shouted urgently in their mouths, "Futu is in the world, merciful to the world, raging fire, washing the golden body, burning my skin, purifying my Buddha's heart, leading by heaven and man, and going west to bliss!" Slay demons, kill, kill, kill, kill! ”
"Knock knock, knock knock!"
Immediately Di Rong ordered to attack the city again, this time the Rong army was almost the whole army pressed, nearly 10,000 Dharma Protector Army and nearly 10,000 Buddha soldiers staggered together, like the sea like waves, holding wooden shields, carrying wooden bridges and wooden ladders, and rushed to the direction of Yuzhang City.
Only more than 3,000 Buddhist guards and more than 2,000 cavalry guards were left around Zhenrong, and then more than 4,000 archers were waiting to suppress the defenses on the city wall.
Obviously, the Buddhist scriptures recited by the Buddhist soldiers and the Dharma Protector Army under Fang Rong should be the last encouragement before the war, and Di Rong is about to launch a general attack on Yuzhang City.
Of course, this time it seems that he has learned his lesson, and first smeared all the wooden shields and bridges with wet mud so that they would not be ignited by rockets by the Shanyue archers on the city walls.
Then Di Rong scattered all the siege forces, basically a team of more than 1,000 people, carrying two or three wooden bridges and a dozen wooden ladders, each looking for a city wall as a target to climb the attack.
In this way, it can also prevent Zhu Wei from using another fire to burn all the siege troops gathered together in the fire, and it can also prevent Zhu Wei from having to divide his troops on the city wall to resist, and maybe there will be a flaw, and the elite Buddhist soldiers who are mixed with the Dharma Protector Army will climb the city wall.
I have to say that Zhenrong is now relying on a large number of people to storm Yuzhang City.
For a while, it looked like a tide of people, surging towards the towering Yuzhang city wall, trying to flood the city wall with a wave of people and kill into Yuzhang City.
And Zhu Wei saw everything on the city gate tower, and indeed he could only divide his troops to fight, at this moment, in addition to the archers on the original city wall and other more than 2,000 mountain soldiers, Zhu Wei also transferred the reserve of more than 3,000 mountain soldiers.
This is indeed a decisive battle between the offensive and defensive sides, and this decisive battle will also determine the final result of today's battle.
The fierce offensive and defensive battles began again as the sea of people attacking the city poured into front of the city walls.
The soldiers and horses of Zhenrong were divided into at least nearly 100 different blocks, and nearly 100 wooden ladders were erected on the city wall of Yuzhang, and the ants attached to the ladders were attached to the siege of the city.
And Zhu Wei's side naturally organized troops to defend separately, forming a battle formation in the city wall area where each wooden ladder is located, and fork soldiers, spearmen, axe soldiers and sword and shield hands cooperate with each other to prevent Zhenrong's soldiers from killing the city wall.
Fortunately, a lot of simple virtual sheds used to block arrows have been built, and they have also been transported to the city wall, so the Shanyue soldiers who originally held tower shields can also free up their hands to help fight defensive battles.
As a result, the archers left by Zhirong under the city wall were basically useless, and almost all the feather arrows thrown up landed on these virtual sheds constructed of bamboo poles, wooden strips, cloth, and fishing nets.
The Shanyue soldiers on the city wall don't have to worry about what feather arrows will fall on their heads and pose a threat to themselves.
Therefore, they only need to wholeheartedly prevent the Buddhist soldiers and Dharma Protectors from climbing the city wall, which at least increases the defense efficiency of the Shanyue soldiers on Zhu Wei's side several times.
And the main Buddhist soldiers on the side of Zhenrong are stronger than the Protector People's Army in terms of combat effectiveness, but there is not much gap between climbing the city and climbing the wall, as long as they fail to climb the city wall, they will not be able to exert any combat effectiveness, and they can only be the target of the Shanyue soldiers.
Even if there are elite Buddhist soldiers who are hidden in the ordinary Dharma Protector Army, they don't have a chance to climb the city wall, so it is useless.
For a time, falling rocks and falling trees kept falling in various places on the city wall of Yuzhang, causing bursts of screams under the city wall, and the wooden ladders set up on the city wall were also overturned by the Shanyue soldiers on the city wall from time to time, and they fell down one after another with a series of Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors who climbed the city.
In the absence of other siege equipment, you can only rely on people to climb the city, like ants climbing trees to attack the city, it really needs human lives to fill, unless the siege side of the city far more than the defenders of the force, otherwise it is difficult to have any breakthroughs.
And now Zhu Wei has a lot of troops defending the city, and the wooden ladder built by Zhu Rong is limited after all, so this siege battle lasted for nearly an hour, and none of the more than 20,000 Buddhist soldiers and Dharma Protectors who attacked the city by Zhu Rong have ever killed the city wall.
Although there may have been only three or four thousand Buddhist soldiers and Dharma Protector soldiers who died in the siege, there were quite a few injured people, but as time went on, the Buddhist soldiers and Dharma Protector Civilians under Zhenrong really had no strength to continue to climb the city and rush to kill.
On the city wall, only more than 100 of the Shanyue soldiers guarding the city on Zhu Wei's side were wounded and killed by the feather arrows shot up from the city, and most of the others were tired, but there was not much loss.
The cost of such a siege is simply a ratio of thirty or forty to one.
After all, Zhenrong only has less than 30,000 troops, so if you get it down like this, I am afraid that Zhenrong's soldiers may not be able to attack the Yuzhang city wall after they die, so it can be said that the result of the battle is already doomed.
Gradually, someone on Zhu Wei's side also sent up the built virtual shelves, so that these shelves were erected outside the arrow stacks of the city wall, which could be flexibly pushed back and forth, and the ladders erected by the Buddhist soldiers and the Dharma Protector Army also lost their effect.
Therefore, the Shanyue soldiers guarding the city on Zhu Wei's side also seemed more relaxed......
