Chapter 471: Siege
"My lord! My lord! Enemy attack! ”
With the sound of the friction of the armor, he jumped up instantly, and at the same time subconsciously picked up a long knife beside him.
In the past few days, he has perfectly demonstrated the characteristics of a virtuous general, eating and sleeping with the soldiers, guarding the city gate day and night, and constantly patrolling around to boost morale. If it weren't for what Bunton did, it was very likely that the Liucheng soldiers would have been defeated without a fight!
"Where the enemy attacked the enemy, how many people were there"
Shaking his dizzy head, he asked in a deep voice.
"My lord, at the east gate, the enemy army is attacking in large numbers, and the number is ...... The number is unknown! ”
"Unknown" was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Alert! Alert to prevent enemy attacks! ”
The messenger smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't be vigilant, the enemy can't surprise you!" ”
"Hmm"
"My lord, come and see for yourself!"
Under the guidance of the soldiers, he stepped forward in confusion, walked to the edge of the city wall and poked out, and was shocked when he saw it!
The outside of the city was covered with dense troops, because the night was dark, even the strength of a super-first-class military general like Bundun had been greatly affected, and only a figure could be faintly seen shaking, and the specific number of people was unknown!
"Are they crazy, how can they attack the city at night," shouted Bunton in disbelief.
The impact of the night on the army during the beacon fire goes far beyond obstructed view. The morale of the army fighting at night will drop rapidly, the physical exertion of the soldiers will increase, the combat endurance will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of command will also be greatly increased. Orders that are very basic during the day are difficult to carry out accurately and efficiently at night, and at the same time, it is very easy to enter a state of chaos throughout the army.
Only elite troops are qualified to carry out night attacks, and ordinary troops or generals are not capable enough, and it is very likely that they will get themselves in the ditch and collapse before they encounter the enemy army.
And in siege warfare, a night siege is even more unthinkable. Although the defenders of the city will also be affected by the night, they occupy a favorable position, and the adverse effects are greatly reduced. In normal war, there is still a somewhat ethereal success rate of attacking a city at night, but attacking a city at night is equivalent to sending it to death!
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a red light in the enemy camp in the distance. The red light crossed a graceful arc in the sky, and smashed the walls of Liucheng under the gaze of Ratton!
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, he only felt a slight shock under his feet, and a large area of masonry fell.
"Torch Stone! They even have a torch stone car!! Seeing this scene, he was taken aback, and his mood quickly fell to the bottom.
He didn't see many torch stone carts, but the prestige of the torch stone cart was like thunder, if Shang Ji had a large number of torch stone carts, then Liucheng really had no need to defend.
"Boom, boom!"
A series of explosions rang out, making Badun's face even pale.
"That's not right!" Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Shang Ji'er is making a fool of himself, I thought they were all torch stone carts, but it turned out that most of them were just ordinary catapults!" ”
What Badun said was right, Shang Ji took the opportunity to take advantage of the fall of Guangzong City and got sixty-four catapults. Only one of them was a torch car, and the others were ordinary catapults.
This is the only one that Shang Ji exchanged from Lu Zhi at a great cost, and there is no such high-level gadget in the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army. Shang Ji really wanted to get another city-breaking dragon cannon, but unfortunately Lu Zhi didn't agree to anything.
If these more than 60 are torch stone carts, then there is no need to trouble at all, a small large city in Liucheng is not enough to resist the onslaught of more than 60 torch stone carts!
A simple catapult is much less powerful, and it is okay to deal with small and medium-sized cities, but it is a little difficult to deal with large cities. And this number is also a little less, if there are more than 100 units, you can still try to attack.
"Pass the order, the whole army will counterattack, all the bed crossbows will be pulled over, and the archer troops will be mobilized to teach them a hard lesson!" He sneered and ordered in a loud voice.
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Order the three city walls in the south and northwest to be vigilant, and beware of the enemy's plan to attack the east and west!" ”
"Yes!"
"Since you are looking for death, you and I will fulfill you!" Looking at the busy Wuhuan soldiers on the city wall, he sneered and whispered.
The catapult bombarded for half an hour, and the walls of Liucheng were riddled with holes, but they still stood tall.
It's like hitting a tank with a rifle, the attack limit is there, and you can't use the time pile to penetrate the tank, and the merchant doesn't have a lot of time.
"Adjust the angle of attack, abandon the wall, and aim at the guards on the wall!" Liu Yi gave up the plan of forcibly destroying the city wall and used a forcible attack instead!
"Bed crossbow step forward and attack closely, suppress the enemy's counterattack!"
"The strong crossbow of the Northland and the Starlight Longbow advance in formation, and the Starlight Longbow suppresses the enemy's wall firepower!"
"Advance with heavy armor and crazy swords, cover the rushing car and attack the city gate!"
"Climb the troop ladder first, fly claws and prepare!"
"The rest of the army is on standby, once the city gate is breached, attack immediately!"
As Liu Yi's order was issued, the army moved one by one and rushed towards the city wall in an orderly manner.
Here are the most prominent performances of the Starlight Longbow. The title of Son of Liu Yi Xingyao only greatly reduced the side effects of night battles, and other armies were more or less adversely affected. However, for the Starlight Longbow, it can exert 12% of its combat power at night!
The Starlight Longbow is known for its long range, and with the blessing of the night, the Starlight Longbow can perfectly suppress the enemy army by firing at the geographically advantageous Wuhuan archers.
forced the Wuhuan soldiers to hide under the female wall and did not dare to show their heads.
Under the cover of the Starlight Longbow, the siege force slowly advanced to the edge of the city wall, and the rushing car was already approaching the city gate!
The ram used in this siege is a defective product, in fact, it is a huge log with a few drum wheels, which cannot be called a regular siege equipment at all.
Because of the urgency of time, the large number of siege equipment drawings exchanged by Shang Ji in Luoyang had not yet had time to be realized, so he could only rely on this backward simple equipment to attack the city temporarily.
But even this will be a thunderous rage!
"Coward, fight back! Fight back! ”
Badon shouted, reaching for one of the soldier's longbows and firing an arrow into the corner.
A heavily armored mad knife below immediately fell to the ground.
With the encouragement of Badun, the Wuhuan soldiers also began to fight hard, braving the rain of deadly arrows from the Starlight Longbow, and counterattacked one after another.
Rolling logs, thunderstones, and arrows rained downward, and the casualties of the besieging troops surged.
Huang Zhong, who was with the Xingyao longbow, turned cold, stared at Kudun, who was attacking frantically, took out an arrow from the quiver, and slowly filled the Sun Shooting Divine Bow!
Concentrate on aiming, the true yuan is infused with arrows, the bow is like a full moon, the fingers are loosened, and the arrows are like a shower of stars!
