When the color was faint, the large camp of the Bingzhou army was already in a commotion, the drums of the assembly sounded, and groups of soldiers nervously shuttled through the camp, making the final preparations before the battle.

  Yanghu was still not in a hurry, and after a full meal of war meals, he entered the account, and Yanghu officially explained his siege plan.

  Finally, there was a battle to be fought, and the generals and colonels of the infantry battalion were all enthusiastic and surging with fighting spirit, and they lined up their troops in a majestic and high-spirited manner, and killed under the city of Lecheng.

  Jiang Xiu had already been awakened by the drums of the Bingzhou army, but to tell the truth, he hardly slept all night, and he didn't squint for a while until the early hours of the morning, but when he just took a nap, his men hurried in, and reported that the Bingzhou army had killed the city, Jiang Xiu quickly got up, and went to the city with two black circles.

  When he climbed to the top of the city, Jiang Xiu couldn't help but gasp, although there was no such scene in front of him where the crowds were like locusts and ants, but the rigor of the lineup of the state army and the neatness of the army were really breathtaking.

  Jiang Xiu is also a person who has led the army to fight, so he can naturally distinguish what a regular army is, and the battle formation lined up by the state army is the kind of battle-hardened force at first glance, and the killing atmosphere revealed in the battle formation alone is far from being comparable to the Jizhou army.

  Although it has been two years since the Jizhou Army completed its recruitment, there has not been much improvement in the training of new recruits, and under normal circumstances, the army's drills are based on the old to lead the new, so that the recruits can quickly integrate into the army's system.

  However, the 300,000 newly recruited troops of the Jizhou Army did not have the conditions of bringing the old with the new at all, and even the officers in charge of training were seriously insufficient.

  Therefore, seeing such an orderly and majestic battle formation of the Bingzhou army, Jiang Xiu secretly sighed, the two sides really can't stand on the same level, fortunately there is such a strong city wall to provide them with shelter, if they really put Le Cheng's army in the field, it will be completely vulnerable.

  Therefore, Zhong Hui is also very aware of this, and in the usual exercises, there is less training for battle formations, and more time is for these troops to climb the city, learn how to shoot bows and arrows, learn how to throw rolling logs and stones, and learn how to improve defense capabilities.

  In fact, Zhong Hui didn't have much confidence in this army, as long as they learned how to defend the city walls, it would be fine, and field battles or anything was not in his consideration at all.

  Le Cheng was besieged, Jiang Xiu also knew that there was no reinforcements to save him, and he could only rely on himself to defend the city, no matter what, he still had more than 20,000 people in his hands, and if he fought to the death, he still had a good chance of defending the city.

  However, with the completion of the formation of the state army, when the hundreds of giant catapults were neatly arranged under the city, Jiang Xiu's face was even darker than the bottom of the pot.

  In fact, catapults are not a rare thing, but it is the first time that Jiang Xiu has seen such a catapult as high as several zhang and huge in size like the Bingzhou Army.

  In his opinion, the bigger the catapult, the more soldiers are needed to control, the largest catapult equipped in the Wei army requires more than 100 people to operate, and the catapult in front of him is obviously more than twice as large as the standard catapult of the Wei army, according to normal circumstances, without more than 200 personnel, it cannot be operated at all.

  There are at least 100 catapults densely discharged in front of you, and a catapult needs 200 pitchers, so how can 100 catapults not be 20,000?

  20,000 Rao catapult troops, Jiang Xiu thought about it and felt that it was impossible, after all, the scale of the state army in front of him, there were only more than 10,000 people killed, how could they operate this catapult?

  As it stands, there are only a few people standing sporadically on the side of each catapult, and these people are apparently not resting, and are busy nervously filling the stone bombs into the catapults.

  Just when Jiang Xiu was still wondering how to operate these catapults, he saw someone waving a red flag in front of the catapult array, and the huge catapult arm waved violently, and the stone bullet as big as a human head roared into the air and flew towards the city wall.

  Hundreds of catapults fired a salvo, that is, hundreds of stone bullets were fired at the same time, and the scene was absolutely shocking.

  Jiang Xiu was completely stunned, from the formation of the catapult to the launch, he could see it clearly, without any pitcher to pull, the stone bullet was like magic, flying up, due to the distance, the stone bullet looked comparative, but when it flew over their heads, Jiang Xiu saw clearly, those stone bullets were at least the size of a human head.

  The first stone bullet hit the enemy tower at the head of the city impartially, and the power of the stone bullet that drew an arc from a high altitude did not decrease at all, hitting the tile roof of the enemy tower, and with a "boom", the enemy tower collapsed, the tiles flew sideways, and the dust was flying, Jiang Xiu was standing in front of the enemy tower, hurriedly dodging, if he was half a minute late, the huge pillar was likely to fall on his body.

  Jiang Xiu suddenly let out a cold sweat, and the strength and accuracy of the catapult of the state army were so fierce and accurate that it was completely beyond his expectations, this first bullet was really coming for him, if the stone bullet was a few points lower, it was estimated that Jiang Xiu would really be smashed into a meatloaf at this moment.

  The first shot of this stone projectile, and the state army really came at the enemy tower, the enemy tower is a symbol of the city, and destroying it first can effectively hit the morale of the defenders.

  Sure enough, Jiang Xiu and the defenders in the city were all as white as earth, and the power of the catapults of the state army was really beyond their imagination.

  This is too violent, if thousands of stone bullets are smashed down like this, the city wall of Lecheng will not be able to resist even if it is strong!

  As the first stone projectile hit the enemy tower, other stone bullets followed, whizzing towards the walls and the city's head.

  The catapult attack of the state army is obviously divided into several levels, some smash into the city wall, some smash into the city head, and some also fly into the city, this first round of stone bomb attacks, and the state army may not expect to be able to blast through the strong city wall, but if the state army blooms more, it is to psychologically deter the defenders and make them feel afraid.

  Especially those stone bullets that flew up to the city, when the volley fell, it was like death coming, the defenders of the city were originally relatively dense, every stone bullet fell, there will always be a few unlucky people who were smashed to the head and limbs broken, the stone bullet with a large human head is far stronger than the real human head, and the city is a mess, wailing constantly.
