Yanghu did not rest the team, but struck while the iron was hot and continued to attack Le Cheng with stones.

After all, a lot of stone bullets were snatched back from the Jizhou army, so that Yanghu no longer had to worry about the shortage of stone bullets, and he could strike at Le Cheng with full firepower.

The main reason why Yanghu can use catapults to attack again without scrutiny is that the logistics support of the Bingzhou army is very powerful, and if the Bingzhou army consumes all the stone bullets today, the logistics support team will transport the stone bullets from Youzhou to Lecheng overnight to ensure the use of the catapults on the front line.

Such an efficient logistics support system is still thanks to Cao Liang's expansion of the army, increasing the army's logistics support system, so that the army's long-range combat capability has been greatly improved, such as Lecheng, a county town adjacent to Youzhou, and the supply of materials for the state army can basically be done at night, and now the infantry battalion is using a catapult to launch an attack on Lecheng, then the logistics team will go all out to ensure the supply of stone bullets, even if the infantry battalion will run out of stone bullets during the day, the next morning, The logistics unit will deliver new stone projectiles to the front line.

Of course, in terms of numbers, it may not be able to fully meet the needs of the front, but at least it can ensure that the catapults will not be dumbfounded.

Now the invention of the four-wheeled carriage, so that the capacity of the state army has been greatly enhanced, but also let the generals who fought on the front line very confident, if in the past, such an efficiency is they dare not think of it, the stone bullet carried is gone, so even if it is the use of the catapult, it can only be a leisurely fight, if you are not careful to beat the stone bullet, it will be embarrassing.

It is precisely because of such confidence that Yanghu will have no scruples when using the catapult, and he is not afraid of the powerlessness of the follow-up at all.

Siege warfare is the most difficult battle to fight, for the besieging side, if you are not prepared for a large number of casualties, do not plan to attack the city, and this kind of killing a thousand enemies, self-damage 800 play, Yanghu will definitely not adopt, if only to capture a county, the infantry battalion and the first battalion to scrap the plan, then the plan to capture the entire Jizhou will not be in vain.

That's why Yanghu will use catapults at all costs, making catapults the main means of attack rather than an auxiliary means, which can also minimize the casualties of soldiers.

For Yanghu, this is very important, although these generals under his command have an extremely strong desire to fight, and they are eager to be the first to rush to the city, but Yanghu knows that no matter how strong the morale is, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties.

Behind every successful person, there is blood and corpses, and for the sake of victory and success, they will do whatever it takes and means to do so.

But Yanghu was reluctant to do this, on the one hand, it was sympathetic to the soldiers, on the other hand, it was a strategic consideration, since he could use the catapult to attack, Yanghu was naturally unwilling to pay the price of the soldiers' lives, so this whole day, the catapult was constantly attacking, which was also mixed with the arrows of the ballista, and the locusts attacked towards the head of the city wall of Lecheng.

The Jizhou army was complaining, when those stone bullets attacked, there was almost no foothold on the city, they had to go down to the city to hide, and once the catapult attack stopped, they had to immediately catch up with the city, in case of the infantry of the state army.

The attack of the catapult was not continuous, it had been intermittent, fighting for a while, stopping for a while, and the Jizhou army had to go up and down, exhausted, and all day long, all of them were so tired that they were panting like cattle and exhausted.

Jiang Xiu probably didn't fight such a strange battle, although catapults were common in previous siege battles, but they were only used as an auxiliary means of siege, and the real siege had to rely on the infantry to attack with ladders.

But the state army did not fight like this, but just used the catapult to fight all day, the Jizhou army could not fight back, just passively beaten, although the use of the whole raw cowhide can resist the catapult, but their equipment is limited, simply can not stand the state army such a crazy offensive, at the end of the day, just the soldiers who were stoned to death, there are as many as hundreds, and the wounded, it is more than 1,000 people, this is just the result of a day of battle, if the state army is so long besieged, I don't know how many casualties it will become.

Under normal circumstances, the casualties of the siege troops are much greater than those of the defending troops, so Jiang Xiu is not worried at all in the face of the attack of 30,000 Bingzhou troops, with the consumption of troops, the 20,000 defenders under his command are enough to fight out the 30,000 troops of the Bingzhou army.

But who would have thought that the state army would not play cards according to the routine at all, they purely used the catapult as the main force of the siege, or occasionally came to attack the city, but they just picked up stone bullets back, which couldn't help but make Jiang Xiu vomit blood in depression, this Bingzhou army really knows how to recycle!

At this moment, no one in the Jizhou army dares to throw stone bullets under the city, and even the stones they prepared themselves do not dare to use them easily, who knows if the Bingzhou army will also use these stones as stone bullets to smash them, if this is the case, then they will lift the stones and shoot their own feet.

Even if it is thrown, now the Jizhou army is throwing it into the city, and these stone bullets can no longer fall into the hands of the Bingzhou army no matter what.

And those stone bullets that fell on the city wall and rolled down to the city, the Jizhou army could not do anything, so they could only let the Bingzhou army pick it up, fill it on the catapult again, and then smash it at them.

The Jizhou army also wanted to fight back, but in the process of picking up stone bullets, the covering firepower was quite intensive, and they didn't have any chance to poke their heads out.

After a day of devastation, the Jizhou army finally found that the firepower of the Bingzhou army had weakened, after all, the stone bullets of the catapult were limited, even if the Bingzhou army could pick up some of them, but the number of them picked up was not comparable to the amount consumed.

The consumption is greater than the replenishment, which makes the catapult's attack powerless, and the stone bullets that fall on the city are getting less and less, Jiang Xiu is finally relieved, it seems that the catapult offensive of the Bingzhou army has also become the end of the strong crossbow, and Lecheng's defense can be regarded as surviving the most difficult level, and the next situation will not be so bad.
