On the battlefield of the Cold Weapon Age, when was the highest death rate among soldiers? The answer is very simple, as the attacking side in the siege war, especially the first attack to rush to the city, the probability of this casualty can reach more than 90%, without the slightest exaggeration, almost equal to death, Liu Yi's many siege battles in his military career can prove this, it looks quite helpless, but this is the fate of being a soldier, and it is the same as ancient and modern!

In modern warfare, such casualties can be reduced by relying on powerful long-range fire cover, and powerful artillery fire and air attacks can make even the strongest city useless! However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, in the face of a city like Luoyang, the siege soldiers could rely on almost zero other help in addition to their own courage and flesh, and most of the soldiers died at this time accompanied by extremely tragic pictures! Rolling wood and stones poured down from the top of the city, which was seven feet high, and it was extremely easy to break the bones and tendons of those flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred! The fate of being drenched in boiling oil is even more miserable, the process of death is accompanied by great pain, and the wailing of the seriously injured and undead will be even more chilling, and death has become a kind of relief at this time.

On the battlefield, neither a general nor an ordinary soldier can have a rich emotional factor, the most important thing they need to learn is to ignore the hellish scene in front of them, turn a deaf ear to the wails of their comrades, and even help them end their lives! The soldier is the most ruthless thing, which is vividly reflected in the siege war, Rao is the experienced Liu Yi's heart has long been exercised as cold and hard as iron, but now this rare perspective still makes him have a great shock, sitting in the fortified city is a relatively new experience for him, and even in the siege war, he will never appear in the impact ahead.

In the troubled times, human life is like mustard, and the lives of the soldiers in the siege war are also average, they have become a kind of expendable like the rain of arrows and rolling wood and stones that are constantly dumped on the city, which sounds a little cruel, but it is an indisputable fact! Of course, such a scene is commonplace for battle-hardened soldiers, and you can't help but learn to ignore the lives of others, including yourself, because it is no longer up to you to decide.

Fall down a group and rush on a batch, a ladder with a lot of soldiers on it collapsed when there will be more successors on the city, continuous impact is the only way to attack the city, at this time the two sides of the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the gap is huge, the battle of the state of the Tiger Pass, the battle of Jizhou Anxian and Nanpi, all to the world's elite Liu Yijun brought huge war damage, that is still built with the help of the siege weapon of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, now the situation is reversed, they have become a defender of the city, In the face of the Luoyang coalition soldiers, there will undoubtedly be huge casualties.

On the danger of Luoyang City than the Tiger Prison Hangu and other natural dangers are slightly inferior, but the width of the city wall is far better, at this time in the attack surface of nearly a mile, everywhere is the sound of shouting and killing shocking the sky, there are constantly climbing the ladder of soldiers for the defenders injured from the high altitude to do free fall movement, as more and more siege soldiers cross the moat close to the city wall, the arrows from the bottom up also began to become dense, although far less than the power of the defenders on the head of the city, but it is also a kind of containment and cover, at this time the casualties of the defenders at the head of the city also began to appear, Obviously, the height of the city wall is not enough to make the enemy's bow and crossbow completely useless, and in siege warfare, this is also a fixed routine!

The two armies face each other with swords and swords, ever-changing, and all kinds of conspiracy strategies can be fully displayed, but in the frontal siege war, the role of intrigue is limited to the bottom, and there are some extremely fixed routines, whether it is Liu Yi's army or the coalition army and the rest of the people will not have too huge changes, this is the experience summed up in thousands of battles, it can be said that it has been tempered thousands of times, and a large part of the reason why Liu Yi established the equipment to strengthen the development of ordnance is for siege warfare, In the future, the same scene will happen countless times to the Youzhou army, and everyone knows about the siege, but sometimes it is an unavoidable choice!

Good equipment can play a great role in siege warfare, the most important point is to reduce the casualties of soldiers, and vice versa in the defense of the city, but the goal becomes the maximum damage to the enemy. Those sturdy ladders are generally equipped with barbs, which can make it more stable after hitting the city, at this time the defenders want to use their arm strength to push it to almost uncanteen, even if the strength is infinite, Liu Yi can only do it occasionally, the long ladder plus the weight of more than ten people weighs more than a thousand pounds, it is difficult to overturn it to the ground by manpower alone, so the defenders will choose to fight those soldiers who climb the ladder, but they will rarely waste their strength on themselves.

However, with well-designed equipment, this idea is possible, this thing is very inconspicuous, it is called a hook, generally speaking, it appears in water battles, used to catch the opponent's ship, but under the study of the equipment, his length, thickness and hardness and weight have been strengthened, at this time, the combined efforts of several soldiers of the defender are very likely to overturn the enemy's ladder, although the process is extremely laborious, but it is the most effective way to fight the enemy, even on the rolling logs.

But today's use is restricted by Zhang Yan, the reason is that the strategy of the main bus generation, with the advantage of the Luoyang city wall, he can already give the other party great damage, some means do not need to be fully displayed, so that the enemy can see the hope of breaking through the city, but it is too easy to hide people's eyes, especially for himself There is still a great danger, he has to carefully consider the mastery of the degree of the city, as far as possible.

Standing on the high platform behind the city tower, Liu Yi is very serious about the tragic siege in front of him, with his insight and vision, he can provide many effective suggestions, but the lack of actual combat experience is also a fact, the previous Zhang Liao, the current Zhang Yan in front of him in the city defense of the deployment and use of troops are worthy of him to learn, only by absorbing the strengths of the people can he get progress, after coming to this world, many generals under his command are Liu Yi's learning goals, his earliest cavalry tactics is learned from his grandfather Liu Yu, Later, in the process of crusading against the Yellow Turban War, those veterans of the Han army, including several old generals, gave him a lot of help, natural bravery and diligence, Liu Yi has been able to cross so far not only because of the advantage of crossing, but also because of the amount of money he has paid, which is indispensable to become a master of the art of war.

In the Youzhou army, Gao Shun is good at attacking, Zhang Liao is good at defending and has a great reputation, even if he is as proud as Zhang Junyi is very appreciative of Gao Jingfang's performance in the siege battle, but Liu Yi believes that even if you switch the positions of the two sides, they can also do a very good job, Gao Shun can make sufficient preparations for the most effective offensive of the enemy, and Zhang Liao's understanding of the weaknesses of the defenders will be more profound.

Liu Yi also has the reputation of being good at attacking, but it is not a siege, his advantage is still in the field, not that he has not learned much from the generals, but the lack of opportunities for practical experience, which is completely different from the internship of later generations, you can make mistakes in the internship, but if Liu Yi makes a mistake, the price is the life of his soldiers, since there are good generals available, why should he force to be comprehensive? This is the case in the administration, and the battle array will be no exception, and the final outcome of too much pursuit is mostly to die of exhaustion with Wuhou, and letting go is also a manifestation of great wisdom.

The siege battle began in the early morning, and it has been more than two hours since it has been fought, and none of the allied soldiers can climb the city, and even close to the head of the city can rarely do it, which is rare in the siege, it is Luoyang's solidity and Zhang Yan's scheduling method that has caused the current situation, and at this time he has not gone all out, with his own combat power and the strong city as the basis for this result is not too much, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Han Sui and Zhang Wei sat high on the chariot in the coalition formation, looking at the fierce battle in front of them with a calm face, as Zhang Yan expected, since they decided to attack Luoyang, these losses were in their expectations, such a strong city plus elite soldiers, there is no situation in front of them is a strange thing, this impact is more to find out the weaknesses on the Luoyang city defense, for the continuous attack behind the accumulation of greater advantages, for the tall young man in front of them They are still quite satisfied, if it is the two of them personally commanded, There is certainly no immediate effect.

Han Sui can also be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, by no means comparable to Zhang Wei, the eyes of the battle array are far better, although the defense of the enemy army today is also extremely powerful, it is a little worse than Zhang Wenyuan on that day, he believes in his own feeling, so he observes it more carefully, although Liu Yi has the reputation of winning a hundred battles, he is not good at defending the city, I have never heard of any amazing examples of him here, let Fan Chou Zhang Liao lead the cavalry to contain it is naturally a clever move, but it is also a mistake to let a defensive general like Zhang Wenyuan easily leave the city, People like Liu Yi will definitely have great confidence in themselves.

Maybe this can be used for oneself, although the enemy cavalry is elite and the coalition formation is stable, they have no chance to take advantage of, and Liu Langsheng's arrogance is likely to bring some convenience to the attack on Luoyang, not long after, when the coalition soldiers finally climbed the city tower, Han Sui's idea became clearer and clearer, Liu Yi is not good at defending the city, and now the momentum is just relying on Luoyang's solidity, and most of his thoughts are still pinned on the alien cavalry, of course, this is only the first battle, and follow-up observation is needed to confirm, But it is undeniable that Han Sui already has this seed in his heart!
