The second time, God bravely shot Zhang Ji with a bow
At this time, there were not many siege equipment, but it was definitely not a few, and there were still a lot of ladders and crashes under Zhang Ji.
The ladder is not the long ladder in the TV series, and in this era, it may only be used by nomads who don't know how to build siege equipment.
Under Zhang Ji's ladder is a cart, which is drawn by horses and marches down to the city, and there are wooden planks on the left and right sides of the horse's front to prevent the bows and arrows from the city from hitting the horses.
And the ladder in the car is not a long ladder, and it consists of three sections. The bottom section was also nailed with planks, covered with fur, and protected from arrows. Only the top two sections are exposed to enemy arrows.
It's the same with crashes, which have planks and fur on top to protect the siege soldiers below.
But even so, the siege is also a war of attrition, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: double is the battle, five is to attack it, and ten is to besiege it.
Why? Because the more people you have, the more you take the initiative. With ten times the number of troops, it is completely possible to besiege the city, wait for the enemy to run out of food and grass, and either break through or surrender; Five times the strength of the army can attack the city, so that the enemy knows that he is not an opponent, and will not despair and fight to the death; Twice the strength of the army, do not attack the city, but draw the enemy out into the field.
Now Zhang Ji's troops are three or four times that of Qicheng, and it is not impossible to attack the city, but it is a little difficult. However, most of the Yongliang soldiers were in battle, and they had rich combat experience and were extremely brave, so Zhang Ji chose to attack the city.
Of course, he can't do it if he doesn't attack the city, there is not enough food in the army, and he will run out of food in a few days.
Zhang Yi looked at the siege ahead from behind, and it had been about two hours since he attacked, and the casualties were only two or three hundred, which was completely incomparable with the tragedy in those novels. In fact, think about it, after all, they are all big living people, of course they know how to dodge bows and arrows and stones. Now it's not guns and cannons, so people don't have time to react, even if the arrows shoot faster, they are far worse than the bullets!
This also has something to do with the fact that there are not many bows and arrows on the city, there are only three or four thousand people in the city, and there are only one or two thousand bows, not all of them are used, after all, they have to stay in reserve.
Arrows are sparsely shot down, and unless they are particularly unlucky, they are difficult to hit. Even the soldiers who were taken care of on the ladder were difficult to kill, otherwise they would not have attacked the city several times.
After seeing that he had been beaten down several times on the top of the city, Zhang Ji was a little breathless, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the cavalry behind him: "Wait for the bow to shoot straight at the head of the city, and help my soldiers to make contributions to the city!" ”
Zhang Xiu, who was the commander of the cavalry, immediately shouted: "All the kings come with me!" ”
The other cavalry immediately followed, and Zhang Yi hurriedly followed. He was also a member of the cavalry. He galloped along with the others to the wall, and then watched how they approached the wall and shot arrows.
After a few days of adaptation, Zhang Yi had no problem riding a horse, but it was too difficult to shoot an arrow right away. It's okay when the horse stops, but not when the horse is moving. So he drew his bow and slowed down his horse and aimed at the city.
And then he was left alone! The horses in front of him had finished shooting their arrows and were running back, but he had not yet reached the city. However, his luck seemed to be good, the people at the head of the city had just finished shooting arrows, and they were trying to see how many cavalrymen had been killed.
He arrived at this time, and then fired an arrow, killing one of the defenders. The defender even fell from the city with a bow, which shocked many people, because it was the only defender who fell from the city today.
How difficult it was to shoot the defenders down from the city, and the cavalry had just shot more than a dozen archers, but none of them had fallen off the city.
This was a stroke of luck, and Zhang Yi was startled by the dead body that fell. His horse was also startled, and ran straight away, dodging the arrows that were fired again from the city.
Zhang Yi ran out with palpitations, if it wasn't for the frightened horse just now, he might have confessed there.
Zhang Xiu came up with the cavalry, patted Zhang Yi's shoulder and laughed: "Brother Yi, don't you see it!" You're a bit of a ghost! And it's not bad! ”
Zhang Yi is confused, my skills are still good? You should have looked at these eyes, it's no different from being blind!
Everyone else also came over to pat Zhang Yi, indicating that Zhang Yi had made a contribution. Zhang Yi was really confused, he didn't understand where he was strong, and he was powerful when he shot an enemy soldier?
How did he know that Zhang Xiu and they were just doing it for the city to see! They all know what level Zhang Yi is, and he can't ride a horse steadily! Shooting the enemy must be by luck, but the enemy doesn't know, if they do this, the enemy will definitely think that Zhang Yi is a warrior, and then they will focus on taking care of Zhang Yi, and their next attack will be much safer.
Zhang Yi didn't know the twists and turns of these guys, these black-hearted guys actually used him as a target and told the enemy to shoot themselves!
"Encouraged" Zhang Yi, and Zhang Xiu rushed forward again with the cavalry. Sure enough, this time they suffered a lot fewer attacks, and more arrows were directed at Zhang Yi.
What's even more interesting is that Zhang Yi didn't know it, he suddenly fell behind, and there were a lot more arrows around him, but because he was wearing armor, he bounced a few arrows away, and then pulled the short bow violently, and shot it out by feeling.
If people are unlucky, drinking cold water can stuff their teeth; If a person is lucky, a dog can pick up gold for food.
Zhang Yi's good luck came, this arrow directly crossed the city wall, and an arrow hit a soldier carrying a rolling log, the soldier fell to the ground, and the rolling log smashed on the iron pot on the side. The iron pot was knocked over, and the gold juice inside was splashed, causing a commotion on the city walls.
What is Golden Juice? It's dung! This thing was a big killer in ancient times, as long as the hot gold juice sticks a little, it will be burned, and then because of the bacteria inside, the wound infection will worsen, and if it is not effectively treated, it will soon die due to infection.
At this time, there was no penicillin or anything, and the mortality rate was quite high.
Zhang Ji saw the chaos in the city and knew that the fighter had arrived, so he immediately rushed up with his own soldiers, and soon climbed from the ladder to the vicinity of the city.
Zhang Yi also followed Zhang Xiu for the third round of attacks, and this time he still shot out with his senses, and also hit an archer.
But he didn't want the archer to be releasing the arrows, and the bow was full, and when he died, his hand was loosened, and the arrows flew out sideways. It just shot Zhang Ji, who was still climbing the ladder, in the forehead.
Zhang Ji only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and then he fell off the ladder and threw him on the ground, unconscious.
