At this moment, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) was at the end of the siege team, looking at the grass and mud bags all over the city wall, he not only felt in his heart that one day he would attack the defense system he had designed.

"It seems that once the technology is widespread, it will immediately go to war!"

Bai Liyan could already imagine that in addition to the grass and mud bags, Han He probably also learned offensive and defensive tools such as fire tongs and spears, dragon tooth plates, and iron hoof nails. It is even foreseeable that if gunpowder is made, low-threshold technology will quickly proliferate, and countries will do everything possible to steal formulas.

All in all, any technology that contributes to the course of the war, without exception, will be popularized and promoted, increasing the cruelty of the war, from Yin Yangcheng to today's Duyang City, the stakes can be seen.

Under the cover of crossbowmen, the cloud ladder braved the rain of arrows of the Jin army to rush to the city wall, and after more than half of the casualties, only eight of the twenty teams of the cloud ladder successfully attacked the city, and the fallen twelve teams were quickly lifted by the infantry who followed closely behind to continue the siege.

The cloud echelon has just arrived under the city, the Jin army on the city wall rolls the wooden stone and tilts down, from time to time there are crossbowmen to release arrows, the Xian army foot soldiers who are erecting the cloud ladder have suffered heavy casualties, the front has just fallen, the back is erected again, so repeatedly fighting, the cloud ladder has been erected on the city wall one after another.

The first wave of attacks consisted of only 500 men, divided into two batches, one with 250 men, and when the first group suffered more than half of the casualties, the second group began to attack the city and continue the siege.

In the face of a ruined wall of only more than 200 meters, the density of 500 people in a wave is very high, and it is impossible for more than 3,000 people to attack together. It is also impossible to divide the walls evenly in each meter, but to focus on attacking the pre-selected points that are not weak, and concentrate the attack. If the stragglers swarmed up, the vast majority of them would be targets.

Today, almost all the sieges are recruits, but in fact, of all the fighting methods, siege is the only battle that is almost not linked to the quality of individual soldiers and personal experience.

No matter how high the individual soldier's skills are, there is the courage of ten thousand people, and the world is invincible, as long as he attacks the city, in the face of rolling wood and stones and arrows raining down arrows, no matter how good a soldier is, he is cannon fodder. Even the wounded could not be saved, and if they could not wait for rescue, they would be stoned to death by layers of stones and logs.

What's more, Han He learned a lot of city defense methods from Yin Yangcheng, and today's siege will be more tragic than ever.

However, in order to motivate the siege, each country has a major reward, but whoever enters the city first is named the first to die, and the general, heavy reward, etc., to stimulate morale and military morale.

Yao Sheng arranged Bai Liyan's 100-man team in the second batch of the seventh wave, with the current siege progress, it is basically not Bai Liyan's 100-man team to attack the city today, but it will be difficult to say tomorrow.

Unless there are more than two-thirds of the casualties today, Yao Sheng's siege battalion will be replaced tomorrow and replaced by other battalions to attack the city, so as not to be crippled.

Under the counterattack of the Jin army, Yao Sheng's first batch of men and horses quickly suffered more than half of the casualties, the second group had already killed under the city to continue the siege, and the second wave of three or four groups entered the attack position and began to attack the city at any time.

Bailiyan is still more than 300 meters away from the city wall at this time, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to reach, but the range of a single soldier's strong crossbow and the city defense crossbow is often amazing, even if he is standing in the reserve camp behind Yao Sheng's siege camp, a few unlucky guys, separated by more than 500 meters, are poked through the chest by an extremely thick city defense crossbow. It can be seen that even the distance is not 100% safe.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling in front of him, Bai Liyan couldn't help but worry about himself, maybe he would fall on the way to charge, maybe he would be hit by a stone, what was even more ironic was that Han He used his own city defense technology to deal with himself, if he died under the technology he created, how ironic this was.

At this time, time seems to be a frozen ice cube, every second is so difficult, at this time, a hand suddenly grabbed him, subconsciously looked to the left, it was Xiao, his face was pale, his legs kept trembling, and his eyes were full of fear:

"Brother Wei, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of death......"

"Follow Brother Wei later, don't fall behind."

"But I'm afraid......"

"Don't be afraid, there's Brother Wei here."

Holding Xiao in his arms, Bai Liyan kept comforting him. In fact, he is more afraid of death than anyone else, because he is a doctor and a high-level intellectual.

The siege continued, thanks to Bailiyan's technology, the Xian army's casualties were faster than expected, just after two o'clock in the afternoon, there were less than 1,200 people left in front of Bailiyan, which means that Yao Sheng's siege camp started from the siege, and it took less than five hours to kill more than 2,000 people, and this section of the city wall was only more than 200 meters, far beyond the limit of the siege on weekdays.

The news soon spread to the Chinese army, and when Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, heard the news and attacked the city for half a day, but suffered more than 2,000 casualties, he couldn't help but be shocked, so he asked people to verify it again, and the result was that more than 200 people were added, and the casualties had exceeded 2,000.

"Are you sure!" Marquis Ding Yang questioned the officer.

"Back to Ding Yanghou, personally check, there are only more than 1,000 people left under General Yao Sheng's command, one of the four and two captains has been killed, and all three have all died.

"Stand down and obey."

"No!"

The Chinese officer retreated, and Marquis Ding Yang's eyes turned to Zhao Xun:

"General Zhao, why is General Yao Sheng so vulnerable."

"Back to General Zhang, Han He adopted Wei Xian's method of defending the city. In addition, the headquarters of General Yao Sheng were all old and weak recruits, with no siege experience, and heavy casualties were the inevitable result. ”

"Wei Xian Wei Xian, except for Wei Xian, my Xianjun is no longer incompetent!" Hearing Wei Xian, Marquis Ding Yang rekindled his anger.

"General Zhang, our army held Yin Yangcheng last year, and General Ben followed Wei Xian's plan to block the Jin army for more than a month. At that time, the Jin army besieged the city with 100,000 people and attacked more than 13,000 mixed soldiers of our army.

And now it is our army of 120,000 people, attacking the city held by 90,000 Han He, and has not yet entered the city, if Han He also adopts Wei Xian's method in the city, I am afraid that if it continues like this, our army will all be left under the city wall within ten days. ”

"Hmph, General Zhao is alarmist." Ding Yanghou disdainfully glanced at Zhao Xun coldly, and his heart became more and more unhappy.

"If General Zhang insists on going his own way, this general can only resign from the post of General Zhendong, and ask my king to invite another famous general to take command."

"General Zhao, why bother to be rash. If it weren't for the sake of attacking, Ben Hou would have to do so. ”

"But the fastest attack on the cave will take more than three days, and the slow will take five days, our army will attack the city like this, and the casualties will be more than 20,000 after five days, and then our army and the Jin army will have no advantage at all, in case the Jin army kills, how can our army meet the battle."

Yin Yangcheng defended the city, Zhao Xun took advantage of the geographical advantage with 13,000 people, adopted the strategy of Bailiyan, and only held on for more than a month.

At that time, Yin Yangcheng still had geographical advantages, during which Han He also bombarded the city for ten days, and it was a miracle that he could resist the siege of Han He's 100,000 army and hold it for a month. At present, there are 90,000 Jin troops inside and outside Duyang City, if the casualties continue to develop like today, I am afraid that it will not take a few days, and the Xian army will all die under the city.

The siege continued, and the casualties from the front continued to be transmitted back to the Chinese army, but the Marquis of Ding Yang remained indifferent and insisted on continuing the siege, while sending additional personnel to dig tunnels to speed up the progress.

Yao Sheng jumped forward in a hurry, a few hours ago, he was 4,000 people under his command, and in the blink of an eye, there were less than 500 people left, even if it was an iron heart, he couldn't withstand such a way of death. He finally realized the pain of the Jin army's attack on Yin Yangcheng, which was all fucking self-inflicted.

At the same time, the Chinese officer passed on the order of the Marquis of Ding Yang again, and the preparatory siege battalion entered the battle position of the Yao Sheng siege camp, and the other battalion was transferred to the reserve siege camp, obviously preparing to attack the city overnight.

When the order arrived, Zhao Xun had already rushed to the front of the battle:

"General Yao Sheng, how many men and horses are left under your command?"

"General Zhao! There are already less than five hundred, and there will be another group of people who should be Wei Xian, is Ding Yang Hou asking our army to withdraw. ”

"No, he's going to attack the city overnight."

"Damn, more than 3,000 brothers under the command of the last general have been filled into Duyang City in such an unknown way, if the city is attacked overnight, our army will suffer 20,000 casualties at this time tomorrow, what kind of plan is this for him!" Yao Sheng cursed, thinking in his heart, thinking that he should let Ding Yang Hou attack the city by himself.

The mode of defending the city adopted by Han He is at least the defensive thinking that only appeared in the Song Dynasty in China, and the current techniques and tactics are at best in the middle and late Warring States period, and the siege equipment is very primitive, and there are no more heavy weapons used to destroy the city walls, and there is a generation gap of more than 1,000 years in between.

Thinking that on the first day after Han He stopped bombarding Yin Yangcheng, he attacked the city during the day, and he suffered 10,000 casualties, and Han He himself was shocked.

Even if you attack four city walls, it is already very high to lose at most five or six thousand people in one day, but Yin Yangcheng only has three city walls to attack, and there are 10,000 casualties in one day. At this point, Han He did not dare to attack the city on a large scale, and built a large number of boxcars, tower cars, and cars before daring to storm the city.

Now that Ding Yang Hou has just arrived, I am afraid that he will not turn back if he does not touch his head and break the bloodstream.

In other words, the last second batch of siege teams under Yao Sheng came out of the front, and Bai Liyan's team of 100 people entered the battle position with another team of 100 people, and they were also the last two teams of 100 people under Yao Sheng, many people were incontinent at this time, and several of them were old pawns.

There are already mountains of corpses under the city walls, and even veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time can hardly calm the fear in their hearts when they see this.

With Yin Yangcheng as the watershed, there has not been a single siege in the Central Plains, and so many people will be left under a city wall in a few hours, not to mention that Duyang City is only a small fortress, and the scale is far less than that of Yin Yangcheng.

"Xiao, it's our turn soon, remember, you must follow closely behind Brother Wei, don't lose it." Bai Liyan tried her best to comfort her, but it was still to no avail, life was in awe of death.

"But I'm still afraid......"

Xiao squeezed out tears, this was the first time Bai Liyan had seen a soldier crying in front of the battle, and he had seen someone who was paralyzed by being scared, but he really hadn't seen anyone crying in fear. Maybe it's really a matter of life and death, and people will be truly afraid.

With the sound of a horn, Bai Liyan knew that he couldn't retreat. Centurion Chang Jiang Zhan drew his sword and shouted in a raised voice:

"Brothers, siege!"

"Siege!"

Everyone spoke in unison, before the last two dissatisfied-member hundred-man teams under Yao Sheng came out of the battle, Bai Liyan rushed the fastest with his shield, and behind him was Xiao:

"Keep up with me, don't be left behind."

"Don't leave me Brother Wei, I'm afraid."

Xiao held the bronze sword in both hands, which was already full of gaps, and it was so incompatible with his thin body.

At this time, a rain of arrows hit the sky, and the shield on the top of Baili Yan suddenly pierced two arrows, and the huge recoil stunned him to take two steps back, and at the same time, three arrows that crossed his head plunged into the soil, and he was only less than half a zhang away from Xiao.

Bailiyan didn't have time to think, he turned back two feet with his shield and turned back, the protector Xiao, he was so frightened that his legs trembled and he couldn't walk, and liquid was dripping down his crotch, which was scared to pee.

"Come with me."

"My feet, my feet do not obey." Xiao looked at it in horror, and couldn't take a single step.

Without saying a word, Baili Yan's right hand holding the sword grabbed her under the armpit, protected her with a shield, and continued to rush under the city wall.
