Chapter 622: Assault?
For a few days, the two sides confronted each other like this, Zhou Shaoyu's side did not even give the order to attack the city at all, there was no conflict, naturally there were no casualties, of course, not doing anything does not mean that there is no gain.
In the final analysis, Zhou Shaoyu is the besieging party, and he is not in a hurry. And in the city, because of the siege, the people were panicked and restless, and they had to be vigilant and attack at any time, and after a few days, they did not sleep well, and their spirits were much worse.
In particular, an arrow was shot from time to time outside the city, and it was easy to break out in a cold sweat. Zhou Shaoyu will not kill for no reason, but this kind of thing that can reduce the morale of the enemy to a certain extent will still be done.
There are indeed no archers in the army under his command, not that no one will, in the ancient environment, there are many farmers who are actually part-time hunters, proficient dare not say, at least the problem of archery is not big, it is hard to make up, or can make up a small number of people, the only problem is in the bow, this thing is not easy to make, a good bow and arrow has to be used for two or three years or even longer, even if it is to kill the Jingxian Lu family, the arsenal is searched, it is only a hundred, and the number of arrows is not much.
In the end, I simply decided to use it for training, first train people, bows and arrows, and then slowly think of a way.
But Zhou Shaoyu, Yang Miaozhen, Liang Hongyu, etc., there are always some good marksmanship, the first two days are fine, supervising the army's siege project, finally have something to do, but once it is done, it will be more boring, so a few people quickly whipped, rushed up and came with an arrow from time to time, not necessarily to shoot people, but it is also scary, at least, the people of the three families do not dare to go to the city at will to watch the situation outside the city.
After a few more days, the catapult finally sorted, and the city was even worse, the morale was simply low and underestimated, and a few days ago it was only necessary to guard against a small number of arrows from time to time, but now it is good, if you are not careful, you can turn it into a meatloaf, and you have to be highly concentrated anytime and anywhere, including at night, good guy, this thing is not very frequent, but it has not been interrupted.
Originally, there was still a bit of hatred in the city, and in any case, the five thousand men and horses sent before were all from ordinary people's families, and as soon as the news of the defeat came out, almost most of the people in the city were white, which was considered a feud.
The result was good, after throwing stones for a few days, Zhou Shaoyu waved his hand, and more than 4,000 captives appeared on the stage.
"Big brother, I'm here, don't resist, they're all good people, don't work for them......"
"Daddy, can you hear me? I'm here, I'm not dead, they're all good people......"
"Lady ......"
"Good ......"
Okay, it's like shouting anything, but everything is the same, in short, Zhou Shaoyu's side is a good person, and the three families of Fucheng are bad guys, you have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, don't do senseless resistance Yunyun, if it's inconvenient to surrender directly, it doesn't matter, when it comes to the siege, retreat directly.
The three families were dumbfounded, they were not stupid, they could naturally see what the current military spirit had become, on the surface, no one had surrendered, but who knew how many people would contribute once they attacked?
Emotions are contagious, once you find that no one next to you makes a bird, or most of them retreat, who is willing to go up and die. As for the heavy rewards? That also has to be done by people's lives.
"In this way, there should be fewer troops in the city who are willing to fight." Zhou Shaoyu guessed.
The plan is simple, even if it is for the purpose of training, this time I will choose to forcibly attack the city, but if I can reduce the casualties, I will reduce the casualties, so naturally the fewer defenders in the city, the better.
The rationing of troops in the city, the four sides are even, plus the coercion and the young people who have been bought with a lot of money, there are almost 2,000 people on each side, and Zhou Shaoyu went out to the east, and the other three sides are actually strong men who are pretending, and they will not participate in the siege of the city at all, but as long as they stand there, the defenders on the city wall will not dare to move easily, which can be regarded as a containment role.
In this way, Zhou Shaoyu's troops highlighted their superiority, and if they made such a fuss, there was no morale in the city, and the people's hearts were not at ease, so they forcibly attacked it, and it was almost nine times out of ten.
"It's almost ready to attack, and it can't be delayed any longer." But it was Wan Qiaoqiao, who had no experience in marching and fighting, who spoke up.
"Huh? How so? "Zhou Shaoyu is quite rare, it is easy to understand when other girls say it, after all, most of the girls here have experience in commanding troops, and Wan Qiaoqiao is not rare.
"Requisition and dispatch of strong men, so many people are consuming rations even if they stand still, these days, it costs a lot, no matter how much food the Lu family has, they can't afford to toss like this." Wan Qiaoqiao reminded.
Zhou Shaoyu blinked, and suddenly realized in his heart, Wan Qiaoqiao did have no experience in marching and fighting, but people are very good at managing accounts, building catapults, and she doesn't need to participate anytime and anywhere, although she understands technology, but she doesn't have to get started in person, so Zhou Shaoyu handed over the logistics to Wan Qiaoqiao with confidence.
There are a lot of strong men recruited this time, in addition to being responsible for rations, no one will send some rice or money down, a single person counts, the cost is not enough, but the number is large, this number is a bit considerable, if it is not for the Jingxian Lujia, the harvest is quite rich, and after taking the city, he can harvest a lot of money, Zhou Shaoyu really dare not do this.
It can be said that in order to minimize casualties, it can be regarded as a wholehearted effort.
Well, this incident can allow the propaganda team to create a brochure to publicize more, so that the subordinates know that the superiors are sincerely good for them, so as to enhance loyalty and cohesion. Zhou Shaoyu thought so secretly.
It's not hypocrisy, this kind of thing, if you just do it and don't say it, who will appreciate it? As the leader of a party, this thing must be publicized, and who doesn't want people to be loyal to them?
As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, why is the unity and cohesion under Zhou Shaoyu very high, but the Lu family in Jingxian County and the three families in Fucheng are not? This is a matter of people's hearts, if the hearts of the people of Fucheng are towards the three families, then Zhou Shaoyu has such a small number of troops, and he still fights a fart.
"It's almost there, it's ready to be attacked." Li Xiuning also nodded and agreed, everything that should be done has been done, it is perfect enough, and it makes little sense to drag it out, although there are catapults, they are not super-large catapults, and the weight that can be revealed is limited, and they are trying to smash the city, so there is a lot of smashing.
"Then attack?" Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, and he didn't have any opinions, it was indeed about the same.
Just when Zhou Shaoyu and his entourage were discussing, in the city, the three families were also urgently discussing, this city was clearly unable to hold it, where should they go?
In response to this problem, it can be regarded as a lot of noise, except for one or two more fierce ones, who insist on defending to the death, most of the others either choose to lead troops to break through, or advocate surrender. After all, Chenghui is just the last such a prefecture, and it can unify Chenghui and occupy a state, which can be regarded as a strong party, and if it really surrenders, it is reasonable.
