"Siege!"

Standing on the chariot, the bronze sword in his hand pointed at Gu Yi and gave an order.

"Knock knock!"

The drums of war roared, shouting to kill and shake the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed up, first besieging Gu Yi to the ground, and then launching a fierce attack.

By this time, it was getting late.

The Yan army had just crossed Koushui, and had not yet set up camp.

It stands to reason that it is prudent to settle the army first and wait until tomorrow to attack the city.

It's a pity that the defeat in the first battle has already made Chestnut angry and ashamed.

Ignoring the low morale of the Yan army and the approaching nightfall, he ordered the whole army to attack the city, just to vent the evil anger in his heart.

Zhao Jia stood at the head of the city with his sword, looking at the roaring Yan army, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Zhao Jiayao pointed to the chestnut belly, and then smiled at the soldiers on the left and right: "The Yan army has just crossed the river, coupled with the low morale caused by the defeat in the first battle, and now it is dusk, presumably many Yan troops are hungry. ”

"Chestnut didn't want to appease the soldiers, ordered to rest, but launched an attack at this time, it is simply ridiculous!"

"If the Yan army loses again in the first siege, I'm afraid that the morale will really plummet."

The Zhao army was still a little worried when they saw the Yan army that came to attack the city densely.

At this time, hearing Zhao Jia's remarks, and looking at the child's appearance of talking and laughing freely, the fear in his heart suddenly decreased.

Zhao Jia suddenly drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Pass my military order, don't be stingy with materials to defend the city, and greet the Yan army fiercely!" ”

"In this battle, I want to make the Yan army afraid and make the Yan army frightened!"

When the generals of Zhao Guo heard this, they all agreed with a bang.

"Chirp!"

The dense arrows shot towards Gu Yi, and even covered the brilliance of the setting sun.

Yan attacked Zhao with all the strength of the country, and there was naturally no shortage of strategic materials, and before the Yan army arrived at the city, archers began to shoot.

These sudden rain of arrows made Zhao Jia and the others a little confused.

"Sword and shield soldiers raise their shields!"

"The rest hide behind the battlements!"

Zhao Jia and many generals shouted, and the soldiers guarding the city all received their orders and began to dodge the arrows.

However, most of the Yan army's first round of arrow rain failed, and only a few shot at the city wall, making Zhao Guoshi's pawns look at each other.

"This chestnut belly is too devoid of common sense."

Seeing this, Zhao Jia was also dumbfounded, and then shouted: "Bring the bow!" ”

Left and right hurriedly handed over the bow and arrows, Zhao Jia hid behind the battlements, pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow towards the city.

"Chirp!"

The arrow missed, and finally landed on the ground, but Zhao Jia had a strange face when he saw this.

Just because Zhao Jia saw that most of the Yan troops had not yet reached the location where the arrows landed, the other party just started shooting arrows, and they couldn't shoot at all on the city wall.

You must know that Zhao Jia is located on the city wall, condescendingly pulling the bow and shooting arrows, and the range is much higher than that of the Yan army.

Even if the archers of the Yan army were in the position of that arrow at this time, it was still impossible to shoot into the city.

What's more, they were dozens of meters away from that location.

In the Yan army array, many Yan generals were also a little stunned when they saw the chestnut belly suddenly order to shoot arrows.

Some Yan generals wanted to dissuade them, but when they saw the iron face of the chestnut, they still didn't dare to speak.

"What's the matter, why didn't the arrows hit the walls?"

Although chestnut belly is good at power and strategy, he is not very proficient in military affairs after all, and I am afraid that he is not as good as Zhao Kuo, who talks about soldiers on paper.

When he saw that the archers of Yan Kingdom had shot out a dense array of arrows, but they didn't hit the city wall, his face suddenly became a little unbearable.

"Xiangguo, whenever the two armies are fighting, they must first shoot at the position, take the lead in measuring the range of the bow and arrow, and wait for the enemy to enter the range before starting to release the arrows."

"The position of our archers has not yet entered the best range, so it is naturally impossible to shoot into the city!"

When Chestnut heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed and angry.

He said a little unhappily: "You are all generals of Yan Kingdom, since you know it so clearly, why don't you remind your true appearance!" ”

The generals of the Yan Kingdom all looked at each other, but no one dared to refute the chestnut belly.

They also wanted to remind them, and even when Chestnut decided to attack the city at this time, there were many Yan generals to dissuade them.

Ran Li's belly was anxious to make meritorious contributions to wash away the shame, and he was determined to attack the city at this time, but instead reprimanded the generals of Yan State.

Just now, chestnut belly estimated the distance between the two sides with his eyes, and ordered the arrow with murderous spirit, although these Yan generals had the heart to remind, but they did not dare to touch the other party's moldy head.

Therefore, at this time, being questioned by chestnut belly, many Yan generals were also dissatisfied.

It was only at this time that they remembered the two generals of Le Jian and Le Cheng.

Prior to this, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State were basically led by the two brothers Lejian and Lecheng, and the two of them were quite disciplined in commanding the army.

I don't know if I don't compare.

After the comparison, the generals of Yan Guo understood how idiotic the chestnut was in terms of commanding the troops.

After the chestnut belly was angry, he looked at the generals with a little unsightly, and immediately regretted it.

Playing with power, these swallow generals are naturally far inferior to chestnut belly.

If you really want to talk about the battle of the army, the chestnut belly also knows that he is two pounds, and he is not even as good as an ordinary Yan general.

He forced himself to calm down, and then secretly warned himself in his heart: "This attack on Zhao is very important, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Although I have read the art of war, I have no experience in commanding troops after all, so I should try to delegate power at this time."

I have to say that chestnut belly is a decisive person, and he also has self-knowledge.

After making a decision, he immediately said to the generals of Yan State: "This time it is the prime minister Meng Lang, and Ran Er and the others are the ministers of the Great Yan humerus, so they should take on the heavy responsibility." ”

"After that, the siege of the city will be handed over to the command of the generals, and the prime minister will no longer interfere!"

Chestnut's words made the faces of the generals of the Yan Kingdom look a little better, and several respected Yan generals were naturally also elected to command this siege campaign.

After the change of command, the dispatch of the Yan army really became orderly, and it would not make the same low-level mistakes as the subordinates.

Zhao Jia watched the Yan army gradually approaching, and his face was solemn.

After the vanguard of the Yan army entered the range of bows and arrows, Zhao Jia still did not let the archers release their arrows.

Even, Zhao Jia let those hideous siege equipment get closer and closer to the city gate.

Seeing this, many generals were a little anxious, and persuaded Zhao Jia to shoot the people who pushed the siege equipment with bows and crossbows.

Zhao Jia just shook his head and let the Yan army's siege equipment approach.

Seeing that some of the generals showed anxious expressions, Zhao Jia hurriedly explained: "Gu Yi City is tall and has all the materials to defend the city, as long as we are cautious, even if the Yan army's siege equipment arrives under the city, it will not be easy to attack." ”

"However, if the Yan army suppresses us with strong bows and crossbows, so that the defenders in the city dare not take the lead, it can create an opportunity for the Yan army to attack the city."

"Therefore, the primary target of our crossbowmen should be the opponent's crossbowmen!"

"Of course, this method is only suitable for large cities, if it is an ordinary city, it should be the primary purpose of destroying the enemy's large siege engines."

There are small cities with low walls and dilapidated walls.

If you really want the opponent's large siege equipment to reach the city, the city gate or city wall will be easily destroyed.

Zhao Jia didn't care about the other party's large-scale siege equipment, but was very confident in the city wall and gate of Guyi.

Moreover, there are many fierce fire oils on the city walls, which are the killer weapons against siege equipment.

When those people heard this, they suddenly realized.

Zhao Jia was already familiar with military books, and he worshiped Lian Po's disciples, and often asked Li Mu for advice.

Therefore, even if this is the first time to lead troops, it is still quite disciplined.

"It's finally here!"

Zhao Jia waited, and when he saw the Yan Army's crossbowmen enter the firing range, his eyes immediately brightened.

"Crossbowmen aim at the Yan Army's ranged troops, ready to release arrows!"

"Crunch!"

"Crunch!"

The sound of the bowstring pulling sounded, and the crossbowman's face was both excited and nervous.

"Put!"

Seeing that the Yan Army's crossbowmen were still approaching, Zhao Jia gave an order without hesitation.

"Chirp!"

The arrows rained down like a roar and shot at the Yan army's crossbowmen.

The generals of the Yan State originally thought that the primary target of the defenders of the Zhao State should be those large siege equipment.

In general.

Siege equipment is indeed the greatest threat to the city walls and gates, and is the primary target of the defenders.

As for the crossbowmen, they are more likely to be used for long-range suppression to help protect their siege equipment.

They didn't expect it.

Zhao Jia went the other way, and the crossbowmen did not call for siege equipment, but instead shot the Yan army's crossbowmen with all their might.

Due to their lack of defense, the archers of the Yan Kingdom suffered heavy casualties in the first round.

Zhao Jia still didn't give up, and asked the archers in the city to leave everything else and go all out to greet the ranged troops on the opposite side.

This round of arrow rain completely kicked off the war.

The crossbowmen of Zhao State, relying on the range blessed by the city wall, launched an attack on the opponent's long-range troops in advance.

However, although Zhao Guo's crossbowmen had a long-range advantage, the number of crossbowmen was still too small after all.

Even though the archers of the Yan Kingdom suffered a lot of casualties, they were still under the command of the Yan generals, and quickly rushed towards the front.

It wasn't until the archers of the Yan Kingdom were able to shoot arrows onto the city wall that the defenders of Guyi finally began to suffer casualties.

Fortunately, the defenders in the city could hide behind the battlements, and the casualties were far less than the Yan army.

The drums of war roared, and the chariots roared.

The huge siege equipment, driven by many Yan State soldiers, slammed into the gate of Guyi City.

Even though the city gate was extremely heavy, it was trembling at this time.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom also set up a ladder, and the densely packed soldiers of the Yan Kingdom climbed along the ladder like ants, wanting to climb to the top of the city wall.

The war ladder is not one of those extremely simple ladders in later TV dramas.

That kind of ladder, as long as it is overturned by the defenders of the city wall, all the enemy troops who climb it will fall down, and it is definitely the best suicide artifact for siegers.

The so-called ladders are mostly extremely large, resembling large chariots with six wheels underneath.

There is a shield in front of the ladder, which can effectively protect the soldiers behind.

There is a winch at the side of the ladder, which allows the second section of ladder to be erected and allows the siege soldiers to climb the city wall.

There are also hooks and other things in the front part of the ladder, which can grasp the edge of the city wall and play a fixed role.

The Yan army pushed the ladder and arrived at the bottom of the city wall, the front shield was attached to the city wall, and the six wheels were also fixed.

Since the top of the ladder is not too high, it is impossible for Zhao Jun in the city to push the ladder down like in TV.
