Chapter 144: Mongolian Routines
As for the replacement and maintenance of firearms, bows, arrows, light crossbows and other weapons in the hands of the soldiers defending the city, it is still normal, and it is not innovative and strengthened;
However, by adapting to all changes without change, adhering to the correct ways and methods, and carrying out sustained and effective attacks and strikes against the enemy is also the way to defeat the enemy on the battlefield.
However, when these weapons and firearms, which are only improvements of history and have not yet exceeded the limits of history, encounter siege engines that are larger and more powerful than them, they can no longer exert their maximum power under certain conditions.

It can only be transformed from a magic weapon for the soldiers defending the city to defeat the enemy and a tool to save their lives......
The core troops of the Mongol army arrived outside the moat of Gaoyou City earlier than Zhang Shicheng, Lu Zhen and other generals in the court expected, and the surrounding area of Gaoyou City was also surrounded at almost the same time, and army supplies and reinforcements were no longer able to enter!
The arrival of the core troops of the Mongolian army means that they have also arrived with large engineering equipment!
The Mongols believed in speed very much, and on the battlefield, they advocated defeating their opponents with speed, and liked to concentrate a large number of troops to attack the enemy quickly;
The Mongols' quick and decisive way of fighting was very similar to the German wolf pack tactics and methods of warfare, and there was also a striking resemblance in effect and ending, that is, they could sweep across the entire Eurasian continent, but they did not conquer Japan.
Therefore, the Mongols rarely used large siege equipment, and they did not use large weapons during large-scale attacks.
In their belief that in high-speed sports warfare, their sabers and light weapons can solve everything, and according to the general routine, when they attack a city, they will run out a large number of Mongolian light cavalry to harass the small cities, villages and farmlands around the city.
But the Mongols were cunning, and their ambition was not to do so, and he did not kill the local peasants or the common people, in order to make them fear death, to make them panic, to make them despair.
Then they will flood into the big cities, thus exacerbating the atmosphere of panic among the inhabitants of the cities; Under the shadow of the god of death, the greed and selfishness of human nature will be exposed; The brothers took up their swords and slashed each other in order to survive.
In order to survive, fathers will kill their young or hungry sons in order to have food or women's blood and milk to live, or they will sacrifice their wives or even the whole family.
Go to the gates of the powerful families in the locality, kowtow and kneel to seek their refuge, and the result is that most of them are miserable and hateful, and they all die of hunger and cold;
Or they were killed by their rebellious wives and families, anyway, most of the powerful families are mud bodhisattvas who cross the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, and if they are in peace, they will only take care of their own interests, if the poor people don't give enough money or goods.
They would also have their subordinates whip them, spit on them, and mock and insult them with the dirtiest and disgusting words;
And even such powerful people who do not even have the most basic human rights or human nature, in times of crisis, the people who are oppressed by them and regarded as slaves will still be full of servility to cling to them and begging them;
Those people will kneel at their feet and beg them in the most despicable and miserable way, but the result is so good.
In this way, the nobles treated them "forced" the peasants and common people who were oppressed and enslaved by them, even in peacetime.
Moreover, after killing the poor people in the worst and vicious ways and means, they still have a reason to say that they are a chaotic people, a dirty people, and the main culprit who caused the Mongols to come and make trouble;
The magnates insist on turning the white into the black and the wrong upside down, anyway, the dirty people and the chaotic people in their mouths are all dead, and there is no proof of death, and in the eyes of others, and among them are all poor people;
Those "chaotic people" and "dirty people" who died at the hands of the elite class all died well-deserved, and they died innocently, and it was their own fault who made them poor, who made them beg for the elite, and who let them be born......
In the eyes of the poor, those who are poorer than them deserve to die in their cynicism, at the hands of those who are supposed to be their hostile class!
Dying behind those who are poorer than them seems to have become the most fortunate thing in the hearts of the poor, as can be seen from the fact that they laughed and laughed maniacally beside the bodies of the poor......
At the same time, as soon as the city surrounded by the Mongols was flooded by the surrounding countryside and peasants and common people, they would invisibly not only exacerbate the panic atmosphere in the besieged city.
At a time similar to this time, it also intensified the panic of the army or the elite who guarded the city, that is, the rulers, and then in the court of their power;
Commanding the people at all levels of magnates, soldiers, generals, civil officials, speech officials, and so on, as long as their vital interests are involved;
Especially when their lives are threatened, they will come to the main hall or similar places with the conference hall more actively than they usually have meetings or morning exercises.
One is concentrated under the ruler or the great power, and the gossip is divided into two or three factions, or even many factions.
Most of the time, they will defeat people who have a hint of humanity or a little compassion in their hearts;
The powerful and powerful will suppress the rhetoric and suggestions of these "philanthropists" and "saviors" who "keep the displaced people for their own use", "comfort them", "recruit troops from them to defend against foreign enemies", and so on.
As a result, these refugees who rushed from all sides of the city were either expelled from the city tower and beheaded by the Mongols one by one, or they died at the hands of those who were supposed to protect their rights and keep them safe!
However, those who propose to kill or expel the refugees generally do not end well, because the enemy they are facing is the Mongols, and even if they surrender, the cunning Mongols have not made any mistakes!
No matter how loyal and loving the people those officials were, how famous they were, how many good names they left behind, etc., they all cut off their heads and hung them on the city walls to show off and demonstrate.
Not to mention that these officials and magnates have made a terrible mistake and killed so many people and loyalty!
