After six days of jungle fighting, the 40,000 elites of the Black Flag Army together with more than 20,000 troops finally advanced to within ten miles in front of the royal city of Sushen, the so-called royal city of Sushen is actually the only city with a city wall in Sushen, and it has not been the royal city of Sushen for a long time, only about seven years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Su Shen itself did not have the craft of building a city, and at the beginning of the establishment of this royal city, he consulted Wei Joseon, so this royal city, which is equivalent to the capital of a county in the Central Plains, has a strong Chinese character. Its four sides of the city wall are about four zhang, a total of eight gates, the battlements are completely in the design of the original Yan Kingdom, leaving archery ports, but Wei Joseon did not teach the Su Shen people to add more defensive barbs to the wall.

Beyond the city walls there was a moat, about two zhang wide, which circled the entire royal city. Due to the lack of technical support from Webster's Joseon, the Sushen people did not have the winch needed for the drawbridge, and there was no drawbridge in their royal city, and a bridge made of wooden piles was erected in front of the city gate.

As we all know, the city gate without a jack gate will definitely not withstand the impact of a rushing car, and it is conceivable that the Wei's Korean Church is trying to build the city cautiously without reminding some of the necessary knowledge for defense, and it seems that the Wei's Joseon Tibetan skills are about to be cheapened by the Black Flag Army that came from afar.

There is no shortage of stones in Liaodi, this is something that all Liaodi people know, and when the prudent people stare at the continuous military camps outside the city, they can still comfort themselves in their hearts: the city walls are made of boulders, not mud.

In fact, the Black Flag Army had arrived a day earlier, and they had come with such a big force. The sound of the footsteps of the 'Oo-Oo-Oo-' who tried to march with the infantry would only scare the Dongyi Savages who were hiding in the woods, and a heavily armed soldier was indeed very frightening anyway, at least the army of the Sushen Wangcheng had been in a state of nervous defense since yesterday afternoon.

The Black Flag Army had only 40,000 troops. The order Meng Zhao received was to storm strongly, and with the addition of Fuyu's 20,000 soldiers, he only had a total of 60,000 troops to use, and the 20,000 Fuyu army was very limited in his opinion, that is to say, he could only use 40,000 soldiers.

"It's not difficult to capture this city, but the difficulty is that the time is too short, if the king can give sixty more days......"

"The Commander doesn't want to repeat it! The king said ten days. If I can't take it within ten days, I'll have to go to see them all!" ”

Zhuang Xiao smiled bitterly, everyone knows that 40,000 attacks 100,000. It is simply impossible to take it in ten days.

The lack of troops first shows one thing, the Meng Zhao could not attack the four walls at the same time, and could only choose one direction as the main attack, not only that, but also cut off the connection between the Sushen royal city and the rear. Cut off the supply of the royal city of Prudence. For this reason, he asked An Louye to stay by his side, and those Fuyu troops were controlled by the generals of the Black Flag Army, scattered in two directions to make a siege posture, and the rear was divided into 10,000 Black Flag Army elites to arrange a defensive line. As a result, he only had 30,000 troops left, and he used 30,000 troops to attack...... To say that there is absolute confidence in this is false.

When he first arrived yesterday afternoon, Meng Zhao carefully observed the terrain in the four directions of the Sushen Royal City, and found that the location of the Sushen Royal City was very good, and the only direction that could be placed to attack the city was the north direction. The rest of the area was either a pile of rubble or swamp-like muddy ground, and the eastern position was not until they could figure out a way to prevent the armies of Su Shen or Beiwo from popping out and stabbing their butts during the siege of the Black Flag. Otherwise, you don't even have to think about it.

Meng Zhao observed the deployment of troops on the four walls of the city when the Sushen royal city entered a state of war, and he came to the conclusion that only an old general would be sure that there were at least about 100,000 troops in the Sushen royal city. A city that can only hold 50,000 or 60,000 people has more than 100,000 troops stationed in it? He began to speculate about how much food Su Shen Wang Ya had stored inside, whether all the civilians would be evacuated, and if so, how the distribution of the 100,000 troops would be arranged.

"Where did the water source for 100,000 soldiers come from? Rely entirely on the well for water? ”

Meng Zhao now has too many questions to think about, and learning the art of war tells him that the Su Shen people have no experience in defending the city, and they have gathered 100,000 people in a city where only 50,000 soldiers can be stationed, even if the food of the Su Shen people is enough for 100,000 people to eat for half a year, the water supply of 100,000 soldiers will definitely be very tight if there is no external water source.

"Commander!"

Zhuang Xiao said while looking not far away, he saw thousands of soldiers cutting wood, wanting to vacate a large area of open space as a platform for the siege troops, and the number of them continued to fall and then was carried up by dozens of soldiers to the frame and pulled away, he knew that the trees pulled down would soon become a rushing car or a nest car under the efforts of craftsmen, of course, flying ladders and ladders must not be missing!

Flying ladder: A long ladder used for siege in ancient times. According to the "Wu Bei Zhi. The flying ladder diagram contains: there are wooden, about two or three zhang long, one end is installed with two wheels, when climbing the city, the wheel is attached to the city wall to advance and erect, there are bamboo, the famous bamboo flying ladder, with a single pole and a big bamboo, set up a multi-level rung, so that the hands and feet climb; There is a tiptoe ladder, divided into two layers, the lower layer is like a flying ladder, the upper layer is made of a single pole bamboo, a rotating shaft is set in the middle, the pole head is installed with two wheels, and it is easy to take its attached city.

Meng Zhao didn't turn around or look back, he looked intently at the Su Shen soldiers who were constantly running on the wall of the Su Shen King, and found that the Su Shen people could take the city defense equipment on the table at all, such as the basic tools for defending the city, the fork pole, or the large-scale destruction of the Su Shen people were not prepared? He thought about it, but he saw that Su Shen kept moving stones to the wall, "See? ”

Zhuang Xiao saw it, but he didn't know what Meng Zhao wanted to express.

"It's hard to imagine what Su Shen has been preparing for this month. They didn't have a fork pole, they didn't have a grabbing gun, they didn't have a crutch gun, they didn't have a crutch gun...... They didn't even prepare the sassa beforehand! ”

The fork pole, also known as the fork pole, is a tool that can be used to resist the enemy's use of the ladder to climb the city, and can also be used to kill the enemy who climbs the city. When the enemy's ladder is close to the city wall, use the horizontal blade at the front of the pole to resist the ladder and push it down, or when the enemy climbs halfway up the wall, use the fork rod to push down the ladder and chop hard, the horizontal blade in front of the pole can break the enemy's arm.

As for the three kinds of spears such as grabbing guns, crutch guns, and crutch guns, they are the necessary weapons for defending the city, and the guns are about two zhang long, and they are the most effective long-form weapons for the soldiers defending the city to use the vantage point of the battlements to attack the enemy troops in the climbing city, of course...... If you hadn't been dragged off by the siege soldiers, it would have been.

Zhuang Xiao smiled implicitly, "Commander, wouldn't it be better if you weren't prepared?" ”

"No!" Meng Zhao pointed to the soldiers on the wall of the Sushen King: "The expressions of the defenders are not panicked, they don't seem to be worried about the city being captured at all. ”

As a front-line commander, Meng Zhao knew what he should do, and he understood more that it was not as simple as simply planning to attack the city, as a commander, he needed to think a lot, including why the enemy troops defending the city were unscrupulous, and why they accepted the fact of being surrounded so calmly?

"It's not easy, it's definitely not that simple!"

"Commander ......?"

"Are you sure you're in the city?"

"This ......"

Meng Zhao suddenly climbed on the horse, and he didn't say hello to Zhuang Xiao and shouted, "Drive!" "Gallop away.

Zhuang Xiao patted the dust on the black robe, he turned his head to look at the Sushen King City, the city was already lit with cooking smoke, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw the dense column of smoke rising. Anyone who has experience in besieging a city understands a truth, if there are 10,000 soldiers in the city to be attacked, then the army besieging the city needs to have at least 50,000 troops, and now there are at least 100,000 troops in the Sushen Wangcheng, but the Black Flag Army does not have 500,000 troops to attack, and then the king (Lin Bin) is too tight, it is impossible to besiege the Sushen people for a long time to let the Sushen people surrender without food.

"Your Majesty...... Why did you know that you couldn't force your order to lead the ...... attack? ”

Many people wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask......

……

'Knock-knock......'

The very sudden roar of war drums rang out, and the non-commissioned officers working outside the barracks were stunned when they heard it, and they all looked at their immediate officers, and could only stand in stazed place without receiving any instructions, and some people asked curiously, "We don't need to assemble?" The official who was asked was also a little inexplicable, but the answer was very affirmative, the war drums were not the rallying cry.

"Look......

In fact, there is no need to prompt, when the gate of the barracks was opened, everyone found that there were constantly heavily armed soldiers lining up, and they saw that the commander Meng Zhao was wearing armor and shouted a loud order, and everyone seemed to know what was going to happen next!

Su Shen Wang Cheng also reacted when he heard the sound of war drums, and suddenly the heads of the people shook, and the weapons carried by the Su Shen people proved that they were not very well prepared, and the only weapon that was more threatening was the bow!

Meng Zhao mobilized his troops to set up a formation just to test whether the king of Su Shen was really in the city, and when he waited to see the figure of the dragon really appeared on the city wall, the confusion in his heart was not only reduced, but even more confused.

"Are you sure that person is a yaya?"

An Louye narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, he wondered why Meng Zhao asked again and again, but for the sake of wealth and future, he still replied respectfully: "It's definitely a sword." ”

Meng Zhao was silent again, and for a long time: "Prepare to attack the city!" (To be continued,) (To be continued.) )
