Chapter 582: Yu Ban's Resentment (First Update)

"Flutter, flutter."

"Bump, bump, bump."

"Knock knock."

The sound of arrows crashing into the ròu, the sound of stones hitting the walls, and the sound of drums that are powerful enough to shake the sky. Plus the terrible screams of the guards.

The entire siege battle, in the first moment, entered the stage of bloody and direct attack.

"Order the battalion responsible for filling the moat to rush up first." The misery of the defending side did not make Huang Zhong hesitate, but ordered very decisively.

There are many water systems in the south, and most large cities have moats. This is the first level of siege, in the past, when Zhou Yu and Liu Bei besieged Jiangling City, they filled the moat. It took a lot of their jīng effort.

Because Xu Huang, who was guarding the city, would not wait for Zhou Yu stupidly, Liu Bei went to fill the moat. But this battle of Xiangyang was different, extremely different.

Kou Feng's power in the high places not only did not suppress it, but it had a slight upper hand. Especially the destructive power caused by those catapults.

It doesn't hurt many people, but the effect it brings is extremely sharp. The guards on the city were either clinging to their heads or lying under the NV wall, not daring to move.

Hundreds of catapults, every minute or two, can throw a flying stone, smashing them into fear. Plus, from the well cart, condescending shè arrows archers.

In the end, it was not a slight advantage, because it was almost pressed and beaten.

With Huang Zhong's order, the battalion that was already ready to fill the moat, under the leadership of his own army Sima, rushed over with sacks one by one.

It's a hard job. Xiangyang Castle is a big city, facing the Xiangjiang River, and there is enough water to bring in. Therefore, the moat is large and deep.

It was a huge task to fill out several roads that could lead directly to Xiangyang so that Kou Feng's army could be deployed.

The military commander in charge of this work was full of excitement. "Quick, quick, fast. Just like when you usually practice, quickly throw the sack into it. ”

It's no wonder that Jun Sima is so excited, when they practice normally, they have to face all kinds of tests. Not only the arrows flying down from the city walls, but also the rolling stones and sassal trees thrown from the city walls.

Anyway, the soldiers who were responsible for filling the moat were almost all dead. Risking his life to fill in the path ahead.

But what about today? There are only sporadic arrows flying down in the sky, and the head is not accurate. Aside from a few unlucky eggs who were shèdg, there were hardly any problems.

Originally, a major problem of siege, especially in the southern city, was solved so easily. It's as simple as that.

As the general said, there are people in this city who suppress it. Just fill in the moat.

"Flutter, flutter." The 12,000 men under the command of this military commander, each with a huge sack of dirt in their hands, quickly sloped down towards the moat.

With a bang, the width of the moat rapidly decreased.

"It can't go on like this. On the first day of the city's defense, there was no moat. What's next? Although Man Pet was hiding behind, the sound of filling the moat was too loud, and he could still hear it clearly.

Therefore, he said anxiously.

"But this flying stone is too powerful. Coupled with the suppression of the well car, the soldiers were afraid. Gao Ran said helplessly, even the old pawn is afraid of the brains juxtaposed and dying.

Fighting with people can rely on bravery, you can rely on technology, let the enemy die, let yourself survive. But if you touch a person's head with a stone, there is absolutely no return.

No matter how powerful the military law is, there is no way for the soldiers to brave the stones on their heads and arrows to go out and kill the soldiers who are responsible for filling the moat under the city.

"That's right. How to forget. Find a shield. The huge shield made the soldiers defending the city hold up their shields, so that if the stones fell down, they could only hit the shields. It can make the archers feel at ease under the shield and kill the corporal of the city. Yu Ban suddenly said with a look of remorse.

When the thunderbolt cars were rampant, Yuan Shaojun suffered a lot, but in defending the city, they also came up with some ways to resist it.

Although it took a lot of manpower and material resources, it was always a solution.

"I'll go." Gao Ran also looked stunned and nodded. At the moment, they are still hiding in the city mén building, and from time to time stones will hit the city mén building.

The tiles shattered and fell to the ground. There is also an endless stream. But fortunately, the city mén building is also divided into three floors, and the wooden plank in the middle removes most of the impact force.

so that no stone hit them.

After Gao Ran said, he looked at the boulders and arrows flying in the sky. His heart trembled for a while, but he thought that if this battle to defend the city failed, he would not have any good fruit to eat when he returned.

Immediately gritted his teeth and rushed out at the risk of stones and arrows. And he cried out, "Come, come out, take your shield, and put it on your head." ”

At this moment, the defenders of the city only know to hide on the side, trying not to let the stone hit him. Watching Kou Feng's army fill in their moat, at a loss.

If you look at it, it's tantamount to a shot in the arm. Immediately a herald went into the city, and ordered the soldiers who were on standby in the city to fetch their shields.

Do you still need a shield in a city defense battle? It's a very weird thing, very, very weird. Therefore, what Yu Ban prepared was only a tool to defend the city.

Boulders, sasswood. and piping hot oily water. Now these things are useless, and they need shields.

After Gao Ran went out to give the order, he immediately hid back. and Yu Ban and the others waited anxiously. Waiting for the city's shields to be carried to the city.

While waiting, the battalion of men and horses under the city who was responsible for filling the moat was more than halfway through. As long as it was a while of hard work, ten roads through the moat, appeared.

At that moment, the shield of the city also arrived.

Countless soldiers braved the boulder on their heads and walked up to the city with their shields in hand. The shield was large, taller than a man, two or three people wide.

Five or six soldiers were held above their heads to protect the archers.

By the time they had done this, the soldiers had pushed the moat to three-quarters of the way. It only takes a little time to fill it up.

"Whoosh." But at this time, because of the protection of the shield, the soldiers on the city had a little resistance to the boulders and arrows flying on their heads, and suddenly came out.

One arrow after another shè towards the city.

At this moment, the soldiers under the city who are responsible for filling the moat have changed several batches. After all, a person's physical strength is limited, and this huge moat cannot be filled in an instant.

It needs to come up in turns.

"Flutter. Flutter. "Arrows poured down from the city, causing huge casualties among the soldiers.

"Ahh Yes. Yes. ”

Dozens of soldiers covered their wounds to the end, and the entire team was stunned.

"On the camp of the Overseer, those who do not bind their feet will be killed, and those who retreat will be killed." Huang Zhong's face was cold and hard, and he shouted.

"No."

Always standing on Huang Zhong's side, the battalion with the highest prestige in the army. The general of the Overseer's camp shouted his promise and immediately rushed forward with hundreds of soldiers.

"Wrap your feet and cut it. Those who retreat, slash. The soldiers, led by the generals, unleashed their Chu swords and let out a deafening shout.

The prestige of the Overseer's camp was more important than anything else at this time. With this incessant chanting, the soldiers, who had been holding back or retreating timidly, were suddenly infused with great courage.

Carrying the sack, he rushed over. On standby, which cost hundreds of casualties, the moat was quickly filled.

"Order, Shanyue soldiers rushed up." The moment the moat was filled in and the soldiers retreated like cháo water, Huang Zhong ordered again.

"No." As soon as he agreed, another general beside Huang Zhong suddenly turned on his horse, urged the Shanyue soldiers to carry the ladder and rushed over.

"Kill." shouted to kill, and suddenly soared into the sky.

Although this time the moat was filled and hundreds of casualties were paid. But it's actually an exciting thing. If it were an ordinary siege, how could it not take thousands of people to fill the moat?

But because of the suppression in the sky, they only paid the price of hundreds of people. Most of them were wounded, and the death toll was probably less than 100.

This is a big morale boost once again. From then on, there is only this wall in front of them, as long as they break through this wall.

The huge city of Xiangyang was placed in front of them.

And the city walls?

Many of the generals smiled disdainfully, and raised their heads to look at their own well carts, which were not as tall as theirs.

"Kill." Under the supervision of Huang Zhong himself, thousands of soldiers stepped on the filled road and rushed to Xiangyang City. At this moment, Huang Zhong did not order the catapult to stop.

Instead, go on.

Huang Zhong is under the city, but he can see it clearly.

Although the shield is forbidden to resist the boulder, after all, the people who carry the shield are soldiers. How many soldiers can be used to carry shields?

This is a disguised consumption of the number of forbidden soldiers.

And by holding their shields, they were giving up three other important tools for defending the city. Rolling stones, sasswood, and rolling oil.

How can you throw these things off the city if you don't have a place?

Huang Zhong is a person who advocates offense in his bones, in order to achieve the most perfect effect. He can also sacrifice the lives of his own soldiers.

In addition, Huang Zhong's aim was to capture Xiangyang in three days, or even less.

At the beginning, Kou Feng set a plan of ten days and half a month to capture Xiangyang, which was set by Kou Feng for a conservative purpose. But after Huang Zhong really saw the well cart and the power of the catapult today, this world was shortened to three days.

"Kill. Kill the head of the city, take the forbidden head. Under the city, Huang Zhong held the reins of the horse in one hand and the Chu knife in the other, and shouted.

"Kill." At this moment, the soldiers had approached the city wall, and the ladders had been erected, and countless soldiers had climbed the city wall with Chu knives in their mouths.

The city wall of more than ten zhang is very high, and under normal circumstances, before the soldiers can climb it, they will be moved down by the guards of the city with ladders, and the result is naturally a tragedy.

But at this moment, most of the guards in the city were carrying huge shields. Only a narrow place was left for the archers shè arrows.

There is simply no room to make room.

At this time, Yu Ban and Gao Ran also hid under the shield. They had to make a choice, and they watched the city soldiers attack. Or give up the shield and directly face the attack of flying stones and arrows on the head.

and resist this wave of attacks.

Soon, Yu Ban made a decision. "Throw away the shield, go up the rolling stones, and make wood. Knock the ladder down. ”

With Yu Ban's order, the soldiers abandoned their shields and began to do what a guard should do. But the moment the shield was dropped, dozens of soldiers were not hit by flying rocks and their brains were tied to death. It was an arrow that came down from the well car and killed by shè.

Yu Ban, Gao Ran, and Zhou Yu and the other three people hiding under the shield were so aggrieved. Pressed and beaten, pressed and beaten. The side that is likely to besiege the city will suffer fewer casualties than the side that defends the city.

Where is this traditional siege warfare, this is obviously a traditional field warfare.

They hid under their shields, while the guards were threatened from above and dealt with those below.

Both morale and mobility have been greatly affected. From time to time, some soldiers climbed the city wall. It's nothing short of humiliating.

A city wall more than ten zhang high, enough to have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers to garrison the city. On the first day, the moat was filled, and on the first day, the walls were attacked.

How many advantages are lost on the first day.

It's a terrible feeling.

"Let them climb up." Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Yu Bandao, with a resolute expression.

"Isn't it over for them to climb up?" Yu Ban was taken aback and asked.

"Now they can go up the city walls, and at the same time they can throw stones and arrows with impunity. Inflicted huge casualties on the guards. But when their men climbed up with them, they didn't dare to do that. If a stone hits their own soldiers, it will greatly reduce their morale. So, just let them come up. We organized a line of defense on the city walls and fought a field battle with them. Zhou Yu said with a bitter face.

When the defending side has the city walls, the besieging side always racks their brains to trick the army in the city into going out to fight in the field. However, they had to voluntarily give up the advantage of the city wall and fight a field battle with Kou Feng. It's true, it's really embarrassing.

Yu Ban is a little difficult to choose. This is really different.

"We also have the advantage that they climb up from the bottom up, which is slower. And we're just waiting for work. The number of troops is endless. Isn't our plan to close for a month? fought for these 20,000 or 30,000 people. Zhou Yu saw Yu Ban's hesitation, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Yu Banyan suddenly made a decision. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, that's it." However, there are no generals on the east and west sides of the city, and I am afraid that Xu Shu and Pang Tong will take advantage of this to do so. also invited Gong Jin and General Gao to go to the town. I'm in command here. ”

"Okay." Zhou Yu, as well as Gao Ran next to him, nodded and said.

"Come on, pull the wall halfway out. Don't they have flying stones? If they have the guts, they will smash even their own people. "Zhou Yu, after Pang Tong left, Yu Ban yelled.

Unspeakable resentment.
