He Yue saw that Bai Heng was reluctant to attack the city, so she opened her mouth and said to Xing Jiamu: "What the hell is this Bai Heng doing, do they think that they can talk back about this Zichang County just by talking about it?" ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "You don't know anything about this, this is called attacking the city as the bottom, attacking the heart as the top, first destroy the enemy's psychological defense line, and at the beginning of the siege, then it will get twice the result with half the effort, it seems that this Bai Heng still has some ability, at least the military book is not less." ”

He Yue said: "It's better not to be a guy who just talks on paper." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Whether it's on paper or not, after this battle, we will see." ”

After persuading for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the city, after Bai Heng summoned the deputy general back, he ordered someone to push the cannon out, and he was about to start attacking the city.

Seeing that the city began to prepare cannons, Gao Biying said to Hu Jinquan beside her: "Tell everyone, all stick to the battlements, the enemy is about to open fire." ”

Gao Biying's order was passed down less than half a pillar of incense, and the continuous cannon sound rang in everyone's ears, and with the continuous sound of cannons, the outside of the city wall was constantly shelled, although this kind of Cheng dù's shelling could not cause any substantial damage to the city wall at all, but this kind of deterrent power should not be underestimated.

Looking at the soldiers trembling under the battlements, Gao Biying shouted loudly: "Everyone lie down and don't move, their cannons can't hit here at all, the range and power of this kind of cannon are very limited, everyone plug their ears, don't be deafened by the sound of cannons." ”

Although it was on the battlefield with constant cannon sounds, Gao Biying's words were still passed down by everyone one by one, and when Gao Biying's words reached the end, everyone suddenly found that it seemed that it was really like what Gao Biying said, although the artillery on the opposite side was powerful, but the real damage caused could almost be regarded as nothing, only a few of these shells fell on the top of the city wall, and all the others were blocked by the city wall.

After a round of shelling, Bai Heng held the glaive knife in his hand

The earth-shattering drums, at the moment when Bai Heng's words fell, resounded throughout the whole world, and as the drums continued to come, dozens of passages suddenly flashed out from the middle of the team, and among these passages, there were constantly soldiers, carrying cloud ladders and rushing towards the city wall.

But just when they rushed to the moat and wanted to build a ladder to cross the river, they suddenly found that the moat in Zichang County seemed to be much wider than the moat in other cities, and these ordinary ladders could not reach the other side of the river at all.

When the soldiers in front found out about the situation and stopped to report the situation, the soldiers in the back did not know, the front suddenly stopped, and before the back could react, they hit the people in front, and the people by the moat were relatively close to the river, and after such a collision, they fell directly into the river, and the people who fell into the river, at the moment of falling, instinctively grabbed the people behind, and in an instant, the first batch of people who rushed to the moat fell halfway.

The people who were knocked down did not have time to scold the people behind them for being blind, and the rain of arrows in the city helped them take revenge.

After Gao Biying saw the first group of people fall into the moat, she ordered the archers in the city to start firing arrows, and when the arrows were released, Gao Biying told everyone to leave those in the water alone and focus on attacking those on the shore who could run.

After a round of arrow rain, those soldiers who did not fall into the water, after losing a third, all retreated, and after telling Bai Heng about the previous things, Bai Heng did not have too many surprises, because this kind of thing digging a wide moat is not unusual.

After ordering someone to connect the ladder together, Bai Heng was about to start preparing for the second wave of attacks.

But just as he was about to kill the thunder drum, suddenly from the moat came one after another screams, which were very miserable, and they were the only sounds that people make when they were desperate or when their lives were threatened.

It turned out that after Gao Biying repelled the first wave of attacks, he picked out more than a dozen archers and ordered these dozen people to stand at the battlements and release arrows specifically at the people in the moat, and the position where Gao Biying asked them to shoot was very strange, he didn't want the lives of those people below, but greeted them in the eyes.

can't help it, Gao Biying also has requirements for strength, he can't shoot directly to death, as long as he shoots blind, he wants to force out all the fears of these people and let them scream to shake the determination of the people behind him.

After Bai Heng heard the first scream, he guessed Gao Biying's purpose for doing this, and after secretly saying bad in his heart, Bai Heng began to order the thunder drum to attack the city.

He wanted to use the sound of drums to suppress these screams, and use the siege to disrupt the attack frequency of those people in the city, not only that, but at the same time as the thunder drum, the cannons under the city roared again, this time Bai Heng deliberately lowered the muzzle of the cannon, although most of the cannonballs still hit the city wall, but from time to time there were still some that fell into the moat.

After Xing Jiamu, who was not far away, saw this scene, he said to He Yue beside him: "It seems that this Bai Heng still has some means, he knows what is the main and what is the secondary, this kind of improvisation, the ability to know how to make trade-offs, is not what ordinary people have." ”

He Yue said: "No poison and no husband, it seems that this Bai Heng also has a ruthless side." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Ci is not in charge of the army, doing this is his best choice now." ”

After a round of shelling, the ladder finally landed on the wall of Zichang County, and Bai Heng's troops finally began to officially attack the city.

Looking at the soldiers who poured up the city wall like a tide, Gao Biying said: "Let go of the wood, the archers will start attacking from the second echelon!" ”

Smashed at a close point, shot at a distance, the ladder on the city wall, pushed out with a hook rod, for a time the city was up and down, it was a mess, wailing, screaming, one after another, from time to time someone fell from the ladder, or the city wall.

Due to the height advantage of the city wall, coupled with the fact that there are more archers on Gao Biying's side, and they all concentrate their firepower, mainly starting to attack the second echelon, so that even if there are a few people in the first echelon who can rush to the city wall, but due to the lack of backup, these are also cut down with random blades after climbing the city wall, and finally they are thrown under the city as rolling logs.

This is not Gao Biying's cruelty, but she wants to deter the enemy from the heart, only when the enemy is afraid, they will not dare to attack the city so unscrupulously, only by boosting the confidence of their own people, they will have the confidence to defend the city, so Gao Biying must do this.

This round of attacks lasted for an hour, and after leaving more than 4,000 corpses on the besieger side, Bai Heng finally ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

After an hour of hard fighting, Bai Heng finally understood Gao Biying's defensive method, he now wants to withdraw the people, rearrange the siege method, and strive to take Zichang County in one go.
