Yang Xu didn't understand Nan Ye's jokes, and he was in no mood to joke with Nan Ye. He saw that Nan Ye was determined to send troops tomorrow, so he asked Zhan and said: "The soldiers under the command of the lower official have already rested for two days, and their morale is high. If the mage attacks the city tomorrow, please be the vanguard! ”

Nan Ye glanced at Xi Zhicai, and when he saw him nodding behind Yang Xu, he said: "Taishou is dedicated to killing the enemy and repaying Guoye's admiration." Then tomorrow's Taishou will be the vanguard, and the siege equipment built in our army will be used at will, and there is only one point to instruct Taishou. ”

Yang continued to be both civil and military, and Nan Ye made him very happy that he was the vanguard, and arched his hand: "What does the mage say?" ”

Nan Ye said: "Tomorrow, if the Taishou breaks the city in a battle, don't kill or injure the people in the city, and the punishment will be evil." He said this, worried that Yang Xu had accidentally injured Guan Hai's men and horses during the siege of the city.

Yang Xu is also an official who loves the people like a son, and he should say: "Without the instructions of the mage, the lower officials will never do the thing that harms the people." is a rebel soldier, as long as he is willing to abandon the secret and surrender to the Ming, the subordinate will not be killed. It's just that the rebel general Zhao Ci is well versed in the art of war, and he has a lot of soldiers, and tomorrow may be a hard battle, and he may not be able to fight in one battle. Mages, don't underestimate them! ”

Nan Ye smiled slightly and said, "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." I persuaded to surrender for two days, although Zhao Ci did not surrender, but it was not useless. Maybe tomorrow, when the city is attacked, there will be those loyal people who are loyal to the court to help us? Taishou went back and prepared wholeheartedly, don't think about anything else, tomorrow we will work together and attack the city with all our might. ”

Yang Xu nodded, agreeing with Nan Ye's statement, and then went out to prepare for the siege. Nan Ye has been resting for more than a month, and has been making ladders and other things for siege, even if some are allocated to Yang Xu, it is still enough, and there is also a siege weapon that can also be used by Wang Min, so there is no need to prepare too much.

The next morning, after a full meal of war food, Yang Xu began to lead his troops to attack the city. In ancient times, sieges were usually surrounded by three walls, only three walls were attacked, leaving one side unfought. This is not to sympathize with the enemy, but a psychological tactic, so that the defenders of the city see a glimmer of life and feel that there is a way to escape. In this way, the defenders will not fight to the death, always thinking that there is a way back, and if the war is unfavorable, there will be deserters.

Yang Xu also attacked the city according to the ancient method, only attacking the east, west and south walls, leaving the north gate not to fight. Don't look at the three walls have soldiers to attack the city, but the number of troops invested is not the same, the east and west walls are less feints, the main purpose is to disperse the defensive forces. The southern wall was the main attack, and the largest number of troops were invested. This is also an arrangement made by Nan Ye, because he knows that Guan Hai is in Nancheng to assist in defense.

The siege began to heat up. Don't look at Yang Xu's shabby clothes, but his soldiers are all bright and bright, it can be seen that Yang Xu is the kind of master who picks on himself and is very generous to his subordinates, no wonder he will be supported by the soldiers.

Zhao Ci in the city knew that Master Nan Ye had not slept all night in attacking the city today, and he made full preparations. The city is full of arrows and rolling logs. Both sides were holding back enough energy to fight a big battle, so as soon as the two armies came into contact, they were killed.

The arrows on the city shot at the city as if they didn't want money, and the life of the besiegers was the same as if they didn't need money, and they braved the rain of arrows and biting steel knives, laying ladders and climbing to the top of the city walls.

The soldiers in front were shot like hedgehogs, and the soldiers in the back went up. The city rolled wood and smashed the stones, and the light ones broke their bones and tendons, and they became meat patties if they didn't die.

Nan Ye's heart was beating after watching the military formation, no wonder Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that the next strategy is to attack the city, and this siege battle is simply filled with human lives. No wonder Xi Zhicai let Yang continue to take the lead, if he died on this battlefield, Nan Ye would have to die in distress. Even if the siege soldiers had ladders, rushing cars, shields and other equipment, they still suffered a big loss compared to the condescending defenders.

According to Nan Ye's visual inspection, it would be good if the casualties of Yang Xu's three soldiers could be exchanged for the life of one of Zhao Ci's soldiers, and the battle loss ratio reached three to one. Fortunately, Zhao Ci's soldiers had already been consumed by Wang Min, and there were only more than 2,000 capable soldiers in the city, and they had to guard four gates. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Yang Xu to get to the city.

When Nan Ye was reading books, he often used the word "ant attached to the siege city", and he didn't feel it at the time, but now that he is on the battlefield, he realizes how accurate this word is. The besiegers looked like ants climbing on the walls from afar, and their lives were as fragile as ants, and death could befall them at any moment. This battle made Nan Ye realize that he would never fight a siege war in the future unless he had to. Even if you want to fight, you must first develop siege weapons such as wells and thunderbolts.

"Mage, Guan Dart has not raised troops yet, I am afraid that the siege of Liliang is insufficient, and Zhao Ci has not yet called the people in the city to defend the city. It's time for the people I've arranged to get there. Xi Zhicai's words interrupted Nan Ye's thoughts.

"Huh? Shall I wait for the soldiers to go up, isn't this like sending them to death? Nan Ye was distracted and said everything in his heart.

Xi Zhicai pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "It is good for the mage to be merciful, but the battlefield is so cruel, casualties are inevitable, and siege warfare is even more so. Only by storming the city and achieving victory, those sacrificed soldiers will not die in vain.

Mage, please see, the soldiers of Yang Taishou have begun to enter the city to engage troops, and the time when the greatest casualties have passed in the city. The mage took this opportunity to attack the city, and the casualties of the soldiers would not be too great. If the troops are withdrawn at this time, not only will all the soldiers who had worked hard before die in vain, but even the head of the dart in the city will also be in danger. ”

How could Nan Ye not understand these truths? Every time he goes to the battlefield, he always has a feeling that he can't help himself, and it seems that the sentence of mercy is not in charge of the soldiers.

Nan Ye gritted his back molars and nodded, and gave orders: "Prepare to attack the city!" Zhang Bai led the men and horses of the headquarters to feint to attack the east gate, Dian Wei led the guards to feint to attack the west gate, Xu Huang led the whole army to help Yang Taishou to attack the south gate, Zhou Cang left to protect my deity and Zhicai, and Han Hu wore a helmet! ”

When the generals heard this, they responded in unison, and after a military salute, they followed the order. Han Hu reluctantly put on a unicorn steel helmet. The reason why he was unhappy was not because he knew that Nan Ye wanted to control him to go to the battlefield, but because he couldn't continue to watch people fight.

Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, Nan Ye also used the two skills of controlling people and divine eyes, and his entire soul floated above Han Hu's head, using the star control handle to control Han Hu to follow Xu Huang and rush towards the south gate.

There were 2,000 soldiers in the county led by Yang Xu, and Zhao Ci in the city also had more than 2,000 soldiers. If it is a flat battle, the elite soldiers of Yang Xu may not lose to Zhao Ci. But now Zhao Ci occupies a favorable position, and the city wall of about five meters is like a moat in front of Yang Xu.

Watching his soldiers fall down from the city one by one, Yang Xu's heart seemed to be dripping blood, but this battle could not be fought. Fighting always has to kill people, and Wang Min has already killed and wounded 5,000 soldiers, and if this war drags on any longer, there will be more deaths.

Yang Xu had already prepared before, even if his two thousand men and horses all died in the city, as long as he could help Master Nan Ye break through the city, it would be worth it, so he asked Zhan to be the vanguard. But now that he saw such heavy casualties among the soldiers, his heart was a little shaken. Yang Xu, who took the lead, had been listening behind him, waiting for Master Nan Ye to sing gold, or beat the drum.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~" A burst of drums from behind him lifted Yang Xu's spirits, and he retreated with gold and drums to fight, this rumbling war drum sound shows that Master Nanye has sent troops, and his soldiers have not died in vain!

Yang Xu couldn't help but look back, and saw that the black pressure behind him was pressed by a group of people and horses. The first person put on a helmet and armor, majestic, sat down on the jujube red horse, and lifted the stone giant axe upside down. On his side was a giant man, running like a flying horse without a war horse, holding a sledgehammer and wearing a one-horned iron helmet, which covered the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the giant man, and only a gilded word "king" could be seen shining on one face.

Before these two fierce generals began to attack the city, Yang Xu heard the sound of killing on both sides of the east and west. It turned out that Zhang Baiqi and Dian Wei had already begun to attack the city. These two people respectively commanded two special forces under Nan Ye's command, one team was the mage guard, and the other team was the Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldiers. These two elite soldiers all had horses, but they were one step ahead of Xu Huang, who commanded the foot soldiers, and began to attack the city.

Xu Huang naturally heard the shouts of killing on both sides, he turned over and dismounted and swung a giant axe, leading three thousand soldiers to rush to the southern city wall. With the addition of this new force, Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and the morale of the soldiers under his command was also greatly boosted, and they rushed to the city wall without fear of death.
