。 I believe that by tomorrow the artillery fire that will fall on our troops will become weaker and weaker. Another point is that as the enemy forces approached the city wall, its embankment could not advance a large number of soldiers at the same time due to the limitation of its width, so that in addition to the necessary shield soldiers to protect the strong men to fill the river, the number of close-range suppression troops such as crossbowmen and bird guns has been reduced to a minimum, and in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows on the city wall, it has almost always been passive, and the casualties caused by the last short hour of confrontation to the enemy army are almost half of all casualties today. This is a matter of no way, as the distance gets closer, the power of the bow and crossbow and the bird gun will become greater and greater, and the defenders rely on the geographical advantage, the killing effect of the bow and crossbow is excellent, and the enemy has no geographical advantage, and the strength of the cover suppression is insufficient, although there is fire support on the opposite side, but because the distance is too far, it is a back attack, whether it is a bow and a crossbow or a bird gun, the power is invisibly weakened. And I, Luo Rou, Xue'er, and I shot at the fixed point, and the rebel generals could be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and I alone shot and killed one enemy thousand households, and no less than ten generals below 100 households. Later, when the rebels found out about this, the generals all hid behind the shield guards and could not retreat, otherwise my results would definitely be more than that.
……
On the fourth day, the bloody battle ......
On the fifth day, the bloody battle ......
Day 6 -
After five days of bloody fighting, there were not many of our 7,500 men left, and on the fifth day, I had to transfer the reserves, and always kept the strength of about 7,000 men. According to the statistics of the five days of battle losses and results, our army has lost more than 9,500 casualties, another 1,600 have lost their combat strength forever, and about 15,000 people have been slightly wounded. The huge price was exchanged for greater results, and in five days, the rebels lost about 40,000 casualties, and the wounded were not counted.
From the city wall -- the city -- the moat, to the other side of the moat, one hundred and fifty zhang, it can be said that the bodies of soldiers have fallen on every inch of land, and if the corpses in the moat are used to build embankments, at least two or three embankments like the direction of the main attack can be built. The land was stained red with their blood, and the smell of the fish was disgusting, and the maggots and flies that should have been gradually reported began to grow in autumn, and perhaps in a few days, they would have outnumbered the entire empire! And the corpses of both sides that have no time to converge will be their best rations.
Yesterday, before the collection of troops, the rebels finally filled the moat after paying a huge price, and what is even worse is that after the enemy collected the troops yesterday, the defenders witnessed the arrival of reinforcements from the rebels. For this reason, I specially selected three highly skilled soldiers from the army, and used the darkness to drop them down the city and swim across the moat to find out the news. According to the information they sent back, there were more than 30,000 reinforcements in this unit, and a large number of material equipment came along with the reinforcements. To this end, I convened the generals of all the sects overnight to discuss a strategy to ward off the enemy. What reassures me a little is that since the rest of the doors are assists, the progress of the river reclamation is very slow, and it can resist for at least four or five days before the river reclamation can be successful. There is also good news that the Arsenal Division has finally achieved results in drying gunpowder. At the meeting, I announced in public that the first batch of 5,000 catties of gunpowder would be distributed to the various gates after the meeting, so that they could organize their own men to carry it, and that a certain amount of gunpowder would be supplied every day thereafter. Everyone was overjoyed to hear the news. You must know that on the fourth day, almost all the artillery in their hands was dumb because of the lack of gunpowder, and the sporadic artillery was not even a deterrent, not to mention determining, at most it could be regarded as giving the defenders a faint hope...... The rebels were able to successfully fill the river yesterday, and I have to say that it was also cheaper because of the lack of gunpowder in our army, if the defenders were given enough gunpowder, they could continue to resist for at least five days before the rebels could climb to the top of the city, but unfortunately there was no if!
