After a quiet night, Jiang Xiu struggled to open his eyes, the sunlight was a little dazzling, but Jiang Xiu still forced himself to open his eyes, because he knew that a new battle was coming.

After the withdrawal of the state army yesterday, Jiang Xiu did not rest, but hurriedly organized manpower to repair the damaged fortifications, clean up the garbage on the city, carry and bury the dead, and treat the wounded.

The fighting style of the Bingzhou army was indeed unexpected by Jiang Xiu, in the past, the catapult used to attack the city was completely an auxiliary means, between the number and power of the catapult, it was generally used to attack with the catapult first, disrupting the defensive rhythm of the defenders, and then the infantry took advantage of the situation to attack.

But I didn't expect the Bingzhou army to use catapults, and it would fight for a whole day, and then, there was no follow-up, and the Bingzhou army actually retreated, what kind of operation is this Nima?

Jiang Xiu couldn't understand Yanghu's style of play, but the pressure brought to him this day was infinite, although the city wall of Lecheng had been upgraded, but it couldn't withstand the crazy attack of the catapult of the state army, if it was replaced by the previous rammed earth city wall, I am afraid that it would have collapsed by now.

But even the brick walls, which looked extremely solid, had been smashed by catapults, and not only the battlements of the enemy towers on the city had been swept away, but even the seemingly solid walls had been cracked in many places, and danger was everywhere.

If it continues to fight like this, Jiang Xiu is worried about whether this city wall can hold up.

However, in Jiang Xiu's view, the catapult of the Bingzhou army has also reached the end of the crossbow, and yesterday it was the last, and the catapult of the Bingzhou army was seriously damaged, almost half of it was paralyzed, and the most important stone bullet is estimated to be almost consumed.

Although the Bingzhou army has been picking up the stone bullets thrown out, those stone bullets cannot be intact, especially after repeated use, these stone bullets collapse faster, and in the end, most of the stone bullets are broken into small stones, and there is almost no value for recycling.

Jiang Xiu has reason to believe that if the Bingzhou army attacks again today, the catapult is likely to take a back seat, and the Bingzhou infantry will make a shining debut, and the Lecheng offensive and defensive battle will also enter the normal offensive and defensive rhythm.

Jiang Xiu is not afraid of the ant annex siege of the state army, in order to target this conventional siege method, the Jizhou army has already gone through repeated drills, even if most of the city defense facilities are destroyed now, but Jiang Xiu still has 20,000 people in his hands, just fighting the number of people, Jiang Xiu thinks that they can almost be killed.

Without waiting for the Jizhou army to come to attack the city, Jiang Xiu had already ordered the Jizhou army to stand by and prepare for the fight.

However, when the Bingzhou army slowly advanced to the city and discharged the catapult formation, Jiang Xiu suddenly blurted out: ", come again!" ”

Didn't it say that yesterday the catapults of the state army were lost by nearly half of the stone bullets, how come they are resurrected with full blood today, and in terms of quantity, there are more than 100 of them, and they have increased a lot, how is it possible?

Both the catapult and the stone bullets used are particularly bulky things, and they must be inconvenient to transport, and it is impossible to replenish them today just after they were used up yesterday.

Obviously, Jiang Xiu still underestimated the logistical supply capacity of the Bingzhou army, Lecheng was not far from Youzhou, and when the Bingzhou army launched an attack on Jizhou, it had already established an advance base in Fanyang, Zhuo County, and the materials collected from all over Youzhou were now piled up in Fanyang, including the stone bullets needed by Yanghu.

The infantry battalion has just arrived in Lecheng, and there is no shortage of other materials for the time being, and the only thing that is lacking is the stone bullets, so Yanghu ordered the logistics supply troops to put down other affairs and go all out to transport the stone bullets overnight.

As for the additional catapults, they were borrowed by Yanghu from the first camp in Marlon.

The first camp was stationed in the east of Lecheng, according to the original plan, the first camp was prepared to attack Lecheng with the infantry battalion, but the infantry battalion temporarily used the catapult attack method, and did not attack the city on a large scale, so the first camp was still yesterday, and only maintained a deterrent posture against Lecheng.

The first camp was also equipped with catapults, but as the first camp equipped with flat carts, the number of catapults and other siege equipment was very small, and it could only play an auxiliary role.

The catapults of the infantry battalion were damaged more than 30 yesterday, and after overnight repairs, at least 20 or so were repaired and could be reused, only more than 10 were seriously damaged and scrapped, and now they are adding 30 more, and the total number has increased instead of decreasing.

After yesterday's one-day attempted attack, the Bingzhou army has basically figured out the weak points of the Lecheng City Wall, so today's attack has become targeted.

Yesterday's attack can be said to be in full bloom, whether it is the head of the city or the wall, it is in the coverage of the stone bullets, but today the state army has changed the target of the attack, and the pressure on the Jizhou army on the head of the city has been reduced a lot, because these stone bombs have bombarded the part of the wall that has been interrupted and has produced cracks.

With such a dense blow, they continued to hit the city wall, Jiang Xiu's face became a little pale, and he could clearly feel that the city wall was shaking for a while, and even gave him the illusion of riding a boat.

The counterweight catapult has the ability to strike accurately, after locking the target of the attack, the error is basically no more than three or two feet, and Yanghu also deliberately observed the changes in the city wall of Lecheng, and then decided to concentrate all his strength to bombard a certain section of the city wall, trying to open a gap from here.

Such an attack was undoubtedly to the point, and all the stone bullets fell within the range of more than ten zhang, even the strongest city walls could not withstand it.

The impact of a stone bullet on the city wall may be minimal, but hundreds of thousands of stone bullets have smashed down the same part, the effect is obviously different, after each stone bullet hits the city wall, the city wall will be seriously shaken, will smash off a layer of wall skin, the cracks in the wall are getting bigger and bigger, and the whole city wall is crumbling.

Jiang Xiu looked at the deformed city wall with great trepidation, his face was as white as paper, panic and helplessness.
