From the day it was built, Nanye's Science City was modeled after the Dock Fort for defense. Not only is there a lot of food and grass in the city, but there are also a lot of fortification equipment, how can it be easily attacked? Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and various siege equipment under the city, Nan Ye was not chaotic at all. Because for every kind of siege machine, there are defensive equipment in the city to oppose it.

The Xiliang army climbed the city wall with ladders and flying ladders, and the soldiers of Nanye knocked down the ladders with crashes and forks. The Xiliang army rushed and crashed into the city gate, and the city soldiers smashed it with rolling logs and stones. The Xiliang army climbed the nest car and fired arrows into the city, and the defenders of the city shot the enemy with bed crossbows. As for those soldiers who are attached to the ant-enchanted city, it is easier to deal with, and a rain of arrows can kill and injure countless people.

Among the many city defense equipment, the one that impressed Nan Ye the most was a kind of rolling wood called the Yaksha Ring. This kind of city defense weapon is made of wet elm wood with a diameter of 1 foot and a length of more than 1 zhang as a roller, and the roller is densely nailed with a "reverse nail", and the nail head exposes the wood surface 5 inches, like an extra-large mace. At both ends of the rolling timber, wheels with a diameter of 2 feet were attached to iron cables, which were attached to the city-head winch. When the enemy soldiers gathered at the foot of the city, they smashed this thing down, and countless Xiliang soldiers were crushed to death, and they had no way to fight back. After using it once, it can also be pulled back and reused with a wire winch, which is really sharp.

Before the invention of firearms, the defenders of the city had a great advantage with the help of various equipment, and even if the besieging side was also well armed, it would have to have five to ten times the strength of the army to have any hope of storming the city. Dong Zhuo knew that Nan Ye had 3,000 soldiers, so he sent an army of 50,000 for this reason. But the defenders in the city suddenly became 20,000 elite soldiers, and Dong Zhuo's 50,000 soldiers were not enough.

Dong Zhuo and his generals were neither blind nor stupid, and after only attacking for a while, they found that the city defense on all sides was not leaking, and thousands of soldiers were buried under the city, and the wails and screams rang out. Looking at the city soldiers and soldiers are all energetic and skillful in tactics, where are the ordinary people? They are clearly elite soldiers in a hundred battles. The key is that there are countless arrows in the city, and the defense equipment is sufficient, not at all like hastily preparing in a day, but as if all kinds of equipment have been prepared for people to attack the city.

"Fengxian, why are there so many soldiers in the city?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ask Lu Budao.

Lu Bu was speechless when asked. He looked at the city wall, and on the side of the city wall where Nan Ye was, there were more than 5,000 defenders. If you add those soldiers who carry rolling logs and stones and operating equipment up and down, I am afraid that there are as many as 10,000 people. There are 10,000 people on one wall, and 40,000 on all four walls, not to mention 50,000 Xiliang soldiers, even if you add 50,000 troops in Luoyang City, you can't capture this science city.

Hua Xiong saw Lu Bu's face ashamed and persuaded Dong Zhuo: "It is useless for the lord to blame the general at this time. It's getting late today, so it's better to collect troops and discuss countermeasures for the time being, and then attack the city tomorrow after a full meal. ”

Dong Zhuo didn't have any more options, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After the war, the number of people was checked, and more than 6,000 people were lost in just a few moments of siege. Compared with Dong Zhuo, Nan Ye, who was defending the city, could basically be regarded as having no losses, and there were only hundreds of wounded and dead people combined, and there were more injured and fewer dead.

Although the casualties were not large, Nan Ye was still very distressed. In this battle, he saw it from the beginning to the end, every dead soldier was a fresh life, even if he was used to seeing life and death, Nan Ye still couldn't ignore life. He ordered the burial of the fallen soldiers, and used strong memory skills to write down the names of each deceased, and gave bereavement pensions to family members, and tried his best to arrange the aftermath of each soldier.

Dong Zhuo's soldiers were not so lucky, and they were not seriously injured and could crawl back to the camp at night. Those who were seriously injured could only lie in the pile of dead people under the city and wait for death to come. There were no Geneva Conventions and no Red Cross rescue. Dong Zhuocai would not risk coming to the city to rescue the wounded, in his eyes, once the soldiers were disabled and could no longer go to the battlefield, they would become waste, so don't do it.

Although Nan Ye has always been gentle towards enemy prisoners and wounded, that was when the victory was determined at the end of the war. During the battle, he did not sympathize with the enemy. In ancient wars, it was the victor who cleaned up the battlefield, because the weapons and armor on the corpse were all money, and even the arrows inserted in the corpse had to be pulled out and reused. Therefore, the defenders of the city will not let the enemy army come to the city to collect the corpses until the moment of the end of the war.

Listening to the groans of the seriously injured outside the city, Nan Ye couldn't bear it, so he ordered Zhao Yun to lead a team of shooters to shoot the seriously injured Xiliang soldiers under the city one by one. At this time, instant death has become a mercy for those who are seriously injured, otherwise they can only slowly lose too much blood in the pain and die.

Nan Ye was busy in the city dealing with post-war work. Dong Zhuo was discussing with the generals. Dong Zhuo in the handsome tent had a fat face like a Shar Pei dog, and none of the generals under his command spoke, especially Lu Bu bowed his head and said nothing with a shameful face.

Dong Zhuo saw that all the generals did not speak, so he asked: "Today's battle miscalculated the strength of the troops in Nanye City, and our army suffered a lot of casualties. Do you have a good way to break the city? Or should we stop there? ”

Lu Bu didn't dare to boast about the main battle in Haikou at this time, and was still silent. Although Hua Xiong saw that this victory and defeat were already clear, and thought that the army should be withdrawn, he did not dare to speak of defeat, for fear of angering Dong Zhuo.

Among the generals, Li Dao and Guo Yan have followed Dong Zhuo for a long time and know Dong Zhuo's temperament. After some observation, Li Dao said: "Lord, although I lost today, it is not a battle. It was all because we miscalculated the forces in the city and scattered heavy troops to attack the city on all sides. In my opinion, tomorrow's siege might as well feint on three sides and focus on one. Science City is small, and one city wall cannot line many soldiers and horses, as long as one side of the soldiers and horses is exhausted and invades the city, our army will win. If this plan fails, it is not too late to withdraw troops. ”

Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses, and he was indeed unwilling, if he didn't have a clever strategy, he could only withdraw his troops no matter how unwilling he was. Now seeing that Li Dao has come up with a plan, no matter whether the plan is good or bad, whether it is reasonable or not, Dong Zhuo seems to have grasped the life-saving straw and is determined to gamble again tomorrow. So he said to the generals: "It makes sense. I wonder who will lead the main attack tomorrow? ”

Lu Buxin invested in Dong Zhuo, originally planning to make some contributions through today's battle, and also showed his ability in front of Dong Zhuo and the generals. Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything, and he was scolded by Nan Ye with his head and face, and he miscalculated the soldiers and horses in the city and led to the defeat, which made Lu Bu feel more aggrieved in his heart, he was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he had a hard time.

At this time, listening to Dong Zhuo's order, Lu Bu got up and saluted: "Bu is willing to lead the troops as the vanguard to fight Nanye again!" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan followed and got up and said, "We are willing to help Feng Xian with the Flying Bear Army." ”

Dong Zhuo was also very pleased to see that although he was defeated today, the momentum of the generals under his command was undiminished, and he showed a little smile and said: "Okay! Tomorrow's battle will depend on the concerted efforts of all the monarchs to kill Nan Ye. ”

At dawn the next day, Dong Zhuo ordered his corporal to eat a full meal and attack the city directly, and no longer engage in any battle under the city, he estimated that no one in the army could say anything about Nanye except Li Ru. The battle was at a fever pitch from the start.

The generals under Nan Ye's command are not vegetarians, and as soon as they came into contact, they found that Dong Zhuo had gathered troops to attack one side. Coincidentally, the direction of attack that Lu Bu chose was the east gate guarded by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and I don't know if he did it on purpose.

At the beginning of the battle, it was a contest between soldiers and soldiers, which was not much different from yesterday, the difference was only in the intensity of the attack. Yesterday besieged from all sides, Dong Zhuo lost more than 6,000 people, and today he attacked one side alone, Dong Zhuo lost more than 5,000 people in a similar time as yesterday, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also lost nearly 1,000 people, which shows that the battle situation is fierce to the extent that it is impossible to increase.

In such a tense situation, Nan Ye naturally led his guards to help the second general defend the city. I saw that the moat under the city had been basically filled in by Dong Zhuo with a moat and lost its effect, and the ladders were almost lined up on the city wall. The crash in the city can take care of the left and the right, and finally a ladder hits the city wall. For the first time, the Xiliang soldiers stood on the head of Science City and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the guards of the city.

Nan Ye remembered that Dong Zhuo's soldiers didn't even touch the edge of the city wall yesterday, and the soldiers in the city were all injured by the loss, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to attack one side so desperately today, as if the soldiers' lives were like mustard. Nan Ye ordered people to transfer troops from three sides to help, and on the other hand, he asked Dian Wei and Zhou Cang to lead the guards to come forward to help in the battle, no matter what, they could not let the Xiliang soldiers have a chance to enter the city.
