Chapter 45: The Ants Siege the City

"What? As soon as your vanguard arrived, you lost to me for a while? Le is that idiot, and he folded himself into the ...... What is the use of you? Zhang Xun said angrily in the tent.

Li Feng and Liang Gang, who had bandaged their arms, both lowered their heads in shame at this time.

"Three thousand cavalry, elite cavalry...... How did it come to your hands and become a bunch of wreckage? Zhang Xun scolded angrily.

Li Feng and Liang Gang were also a little unconvinced, and they didn't believe that Zhang Xun could do better, but at this time, the handle was in his hands, and he didn't dare to refute it, otherwise he really killed the two of them to sacrifice the flag, how could they be reasonable?

"In this Qu A City, it is said that except for a small number of veteran soldiers, the others should be newly trained soldiers, and a head-to-head confrontation can cause you so much damage?" After Zhang Xun scolded enough, he asked with some judgment.

When Liang Gang heard this, he immediately said: "General! No, we were mainly caught off guard by Na Lu Bu's annexed state cavalry......"

Facing Zhang Xun's warning eyes, Liang Gang hurriedly continued to explain: "General, this is not an excuse...... The subordinates have observed the defenders on Qu'a City, and they are indeed only new recruits, and even when they shoot arrows condescendingly, the angle is very poor and the rate of fire is also very lame! ”

"Oh? In this way, there are only 1,000 horses that can be worthy of a war? Zhang Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

At this time, Zhang Xun's "80,000 army" has arrived, of course...... In fact, it was only in his early 20,000s, and he camped three miles away from Qu'a City.

Although Zhang Xun is not a famous general in the world, he has also read a few books on the art of war, and he is a military attaché who is a military attaché, and he knows that there are many horses, even if there are not many of them, he also pays special attention to arranging night patrols and scouts to guard against night attacks by the other party.

After all, with such a large gap in strength, if he didn't bet on a night attack, Zhang Xun couldn't see that the other party had any chance of winning.

And when he learned that Qu'a City was really full of recruits, Zhang Xun became even more relieved-his goal was already how to take Qu'a faster!

After the Chinese army took position, they rested outside the city for a night, and the next morning, Zhang Xun built a high platform outside the city, personally called for the battle and commanded the siege of the city.

"Huh? What are those curtains on the towers that block it? Zhang Xun looked at the mysterious objects on the city wall, which were covered with gray cloth and were not small in size.

"This ...... Didn't pay attention before, maybe it was a bluff? Liang Gang said abruptly.

It's no wonder that he didn't pay attention, this was when he saw Zhang Xun's Chinese army arrive, Bai Tu ordered someone to install the city-guarding equipment overnight - standardized classified production, which made assembly and transportation very convenient.

Zhang Xun glanced at Liang Gang dissatisfied, and then sent him to lead the cavalry, and he commanded the standard-bearer and drummer on the high platform.

On the battlefield, it is precisely the officers who lead a group of military columns to read the flags and listen to the drums and trumpets to know the commander-in-chief's orders, and then convey them to the officers at the lower levels.

Zhang Xun on the handsome platform, in his own brain supplement, has changed his painting style, as if he has become a famous general, there is a feeling of sitting firmly in the military tent, and he can destroy a strong enemy with a snap of his fingers!

The confrontation between the two armies is not a group fight, and it is not feasible to expect a swarm of swarms to rush forward and beat the master to death with random punches, especially now that the concept of military formation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even if you attack a city, you can't attack it in a swarm - Zhang Xun has also read the art of war!

"It's the Glaive Array." Chen Gong said from the city tower.

At this time, Bai Tu also personally went to the city to supervise the battle, Tai Shici and other guards were on the side, and Chen Gong was in the guards, and he also saw a familiar ...... But he didn't say much, and he didn't have the brain to make up anything, just watched the changes in Zhang Xun's military formation below.

I saw Zhang Xun's military array, each team is biased towards columns, when it moves, it seems to be dragged by an invisible whirlpool, operating clockwise, the main body of the six army arrays, showing a crescent-shaped approach, or the oblique moon, the right wing of the west side of the front is more vigorous, it seems to want to take the west side of the city tower as a breakthrough.

The part near the city gate, which happened to be the depression of the crescent, seemed to be weakly defended, and the commander-in-chief's command platform was also here, but in fact it was the most dangerous part of the glaive.

Probably Zhang Xun was still looking forward to Lu Bu being able to lead his troops to rush, so that he could have a tengu moon-eating style - this was the change in the military formation that he was most familiar with.

However, Lu Bu obviously didn't mean to let him get his wish, and Qu Acheng was stubbornly defending......

The right wing army on the west side was already close to the city wall in a blink of an eye, and after raising the shield and being shot twice by the defenders of the city, the third column of the army formation below also entered the range of fire, and under the cover of the first and second columns, began to release arrows from the bottom up!

Zhang Xun was excited to see it on the high platform, the other party defending the city was really a new soldier, with such a big advantage as the city wall, he couldn't get an absolute advantage in the shooting?

In the blink of an eye, the first column of the right wing had come to the west side of the city wall, and the soldiers holding shields scattered some "holes", only to hear the "swish" - dozens of flying claws and hooks, accompanied by the sound of breaking the air, were thrown up the city tower by the elite soldiers and hooked on the city wall.

Then the crowd of soldiers began to climb up the rope......

"It's really underestimated, I don't even build siege equipment, and I want to climb the city wall if I want to join the battle?" Chen Gong said helplessly and disdainfully.

In the Warring States period, there were already basic ladders, and usually during siege battles, the attackers would also cut down wood on the spot to build siege equipment.

Generally, only when the advantage is great, or when the morale of the defenders of the city is completely low and the fighting spirit is not high, will such a primitive ant attachment battle be used - purely use the rope to climb the wall!

However, to some extent, Zhang Xun's judgment was correct.

Because of the number of people and the fact that the bow and arrow were indeed poorly trained, the defenders were directly suppressed from a distance, and even in comparison, it was better to use the hundreds of veterans of the original Qu'a, so that the efficiency of pulling down the flying hook and pouring tung oil to burn the rope was lower than the speed at which the other party threw the hook again!

At the beginning, Bai Tu still didn't quite understand, why would the condescending defenders of the city still be attacked? Isn't it too easy to get them down halfway?

However, when he was really immersive, Bai Tu realized that it was not that simple.

The battle between the two armies is a large-scale competition, and there are similarities and completely differences with the battle of a single person!

When the defender's strength is weak, that is, the current Qu'a defenders are so suppressed that they can't stop the first troops below from coming up, although they can still continue to kill the enemy troops who are climbing up, but in general, the opponent is far from climbing to a new height, and has been reaching new highs, getting closer and closer to the city tower!

Especially on the other half of the left flank on the east side, the weaker "crescent" has also attacked the other side of the city wall, and after the defenders are even more thin, in less than half an hour, there are already "people" who are about to climb up, but the people who are about to climb up have been changing, and if one dies, there will be another one later.

At this time, although the attacker has also been damaged, it has always been in an advantage, so the morale is strong, which is also the most needed when the ants are attached to the war, otherwise once they are instigated, no one dares to climb up, even if they just hesitate for a while, they will engulf the previous achievements, so morale and the team are very important.

Seeing that the enemy was about to come up, Bai Tu and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and nodded, only to see Chen Gong order: "The city defense equipment team, start!" Sweep the enemy army indiscriminately! ”

Zhang Xun, who was concave and made himself look more indifferent, in line with the handsome temperament of a famous general, suddenly saw that the big guys on the city tower who were originally covered with cloth curtains showed their true faces at this time......
