The sorcerers on the city wall attacked without delay, after all, ammunition is precious, and it is thrown wherever there are many black mountain soldiers, and where the fire is extinguished.

Seeing that the soldiers and soldiers were constantly being consumed, Zhou Cang was secretly anxious, although he had the intention to withdraw the army, but he could not withdraw the army, if he did not set an example this time, then in the future, the leaders of the other bandits would definitely not do their best to attack the city, and they would retreat with a few casualties.

But it's not a way to go on like this, the casualties of the soldiers are secondary, after all, as the besieging side, how can there be small casualties, the key is that the death is worthless, and how can you kill and wound countless people if you can't even go up the city wall on your side?

Zhou Cang can be valued by Zhang Niujiao, and after his death, he naturally has some ability to become the commander of the Black Mountain Army, and after thinking about it carefully, he guessed that the number of these small jars must not be too much, otherwise he would have used it when Lei Ming attacked the city before, so how could he wait until the army came forward to use it? With this conjecture, he carefully observed, and after a while, he found that those strange Taoist priests in green robes were indeed not casually lost.

After discovering this detail, Zhou Cang's heart was also slightly relieved, he was afraid that the enemy army would have a large number of small jars in their hands, so there would be no need to fight this battle.

As for why the enemy waited until the army came forward to use these small jars, Zhou Cang also figured it out, in the final analysis, although the rest of the bandits were numerous, their combat power was too poor, how could the enemy army waste these small numbers of small jars on those people?

Thinking about this, Zhou Cang explained what he thought to the leaders beside him, although the leaders noticed that Zhou Cang's words were derogatory, but they also had to admit that there was a gap between the thieves under them and the Black Mountain soldiers.

"What do you mean by Commander Zhou's words?" One of the leaders asked.

The leaders of all walks of life are not stupid, Zhou Cang definitely did not say this to belittle them, there should be unfinished meaning in his words.

"Since the enemy army cares about my Montenegrin army, then my Montenegrin army can't be a wave on its own, so let's do it, every time my Montenegrin army sends out 10,000 people, how about the rest be made up by the leaders?" Zhou Cang Road.

The leaders secretly calculated in their hearts that they were originally going to be divided into five waves. The Montenegrin army sent 10,000 men each time was no different from the original plan, and no one spoke against it for a while.

"Every siege is bound to have casualties, what if I wait for my men to suffer casualties and make up less than 40,000 people?" Lei Ming asked.

He and the other two leaders lost more than 10,000 men in one attack, and if it was their turn to attack the city again, there would not be enough 50,000 men. Do you want to join the leader? Everyone has been killed or wounded, and people are certainly unwilling.

Zhou Cang also understands this, although he has made up his mind to consume the power of these people, but after all, capturing Hedong and seizing grain for the winter is the key, and he can't lose a big one because of a small one. Then he said: "Every time the siege of the city is insufficient, the soldiers will be made up by my Montenegrin army." ”

Since Zhou Cang said so, the leaders of all walks of life have no opinion, and they also know that if they want to get some benefits from the Black Mountain Army, they will definitely not be able to do so.

After everyone agreed, Zhou Cang Mingjin withdrew his troops, reorganized his troops and horses, and then attacked the city in the afternoon.

Looking at the thieves who slowly receded like a tide, Liu Meng also breathed a sigh of relief, and the defenders on the city wall also showed relieved expressions, in the face of hundreds of thousands of thieves, it was impossible to say that there was no pressure at all, but the people on the city wall were even more jubilant, this time they almost did not contribute, and attacked the Cangya camp directly sent by Liu Meng for the first time. Most of these people just stood behind and watched, and only a few brave people stepped forward to fight the thieves a few times in the later stage, and the second attack did not have the enemy army to climb the city wall, so they had no chance to help.

This is also the result that Liu Meng wants, he didn't plan to let these people fight with the enemy army at the beginning, and the frightened state of fighting with the thieves is to send them to death, he wants to let these people feel the atmosphere of the battlefield first, and after adapting, the morale will definitely be improved, and then it can become a help to the army instead of a burden.

The result is obvious, I don't know if it's because the thieves were repelled or because these people are somewhat adapted to the battlefield. Liu Meng clearly saw that most of the state of these people was promoted to calm and calm, only a few people were fluctuating, and the remaining people who did not climb the city wall were also repelled because of the thieves, so they felt that the enemy was not invincible, and after eliminating the fear of the thieves, they were all promoted to a calm and calm state. Of course, this is unstable, and it may be reduced after it really goes to the battlefield.

After the war, the statistics were quickly handed over to Liu Meng, and this time he lost more than 400 halberd battalions, more than 800 cangya battalions, and more than 400 demon magicians ran out of ammunition.

Because of the Taiping technique, this battle was only equivalent to the loss of more than 1,000 people. But the results obtained were not small, and more than 20,000 thieves were eliminated.

However, the situation is still not optimistic, 20,000 thieves is not a big loss for the enemy, and it is not possible to completely defeat them in one or two battles.

Because he didn't want to give Liu Mengjun a chance to breathe, just after noon, the thieves swarmed again.

The siege force composed of 10,000 Montenegrin troops and 40,000 bandits charged towards the city wall, and the 10,000 Montenegrin army was scattered among the rest of the bandits, not a team of its own, and these soldiers were some distance away from each other, in a vertical formation, no longer a dense array.

Liu Meng naturally discovered the strangeness of the enemy's attack, and his face couldn't help but be a little solemn.

"I didn't expect the enemy to see the flaw so quickly, and I also thought of dealing with it in this way." Liu Meng said secretly.

At this point, Liu Meng will not be stingy with the ammunition of the demon magician, is it because there are not many Black Mountain troops and the enemy array is dense, so he will not use it? That's not realistic at all, it's just that it doesn't get the most results.

However, Liu Meng will not waste it, he ordered the sorcerer to wait for the enemy to climb the ladder for more than half of the time before attacking, the flames rise, the enemy army cannot advance or retreat, so that the enemy can be killed and injured to the maximum.

Seeing that these soldiers were on the verge of collapse, Zhou Cang ordered these soldiers to retreat and recuperate, and to attack with the next unit.

This was repeated until it was getting darker, and then slowly receded.

In one afternoon, more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded and still did not climb the city wall, but Zhou Cang's face did not have a look of decadence, because he clearly found that those small jars were already very sparse when he attacked the last time, if it was not for the approaching night that was not suitable for continuing the siege, it would be impossible for his army to attack the city wall after a while, because he was looking forward to tomorrow's siege battle.
