With the help of favorable wind direction, the smoke released by the smoke truck that had been prepared long ago drifted towards the direction of the main attack of the west city of Binh Duong New Town, and the speed was not very fast, but it was already very close in about three or five minutes. These smoke are not ordinary smoke, and they do not seem to drift too high in the wind, but concentrate in an area of only about 10 zhang, so the concentration does not seem to be low. It was as strange as a unique cloud that permeated the ground.

Just as the attacking general had expected, before the cloud-like smoke approached the target, it was possible to roughly see that many of the shooting windows on the head of Pingyang Xicheng City, two miles away, seemed to close in a very short time.

Although from the perspective of heterotopic thinking, although the person in charge of commanding the army is also selected from the lower ranks and does not understand some core things, he is not too dull people. I know that Binh Duong New City must have some means to deal with this kind of measure, but I don't know what that kind of means is, and I don't know if some of my preparations can be put to use.

"Let the prepared ones attack and take a look!"

When the military order was issued, the 10,000 reserve cavalry, who had been prepared for a long time, after wearing special hoods and drinking some unique things, drove horses with certain protective measures to closely follow behind the unique smoke array, which was only more than ten kilometers away, and gradually approached the city.

When the smoke seemed to stop advancing, many people knew that it should not be far from the other party's castle, and they began to dismount and carry the climbing tools and even arson tools that had been prepared for a long time. Use the unique wooden ladder you have prepared to climb the castle in the smoke.

It's not easy for an ordinary person who doesn't have much experience to do these things, but it's a different story altogether for someone who has done a lot of training and specialized drills in two or three years.

In the course of the confrontation between the Xishan Jianghu Realm and the Dongyuan Kingdom, people have seen some common defensive methods in such situations. For example, using a unique cavity to release a silent burning or lubricating liquid to thwart a siege. Some pressure devices are used to determine the position and center of gravity of the besieging party's forces within a few zhang, and launch targeted attacks, etc. Therefore, it seems to be a stupid way to climb the city by a ladder that is much longer than the head of the city, but to a large extent, Russia has to choose and means of last resort. As for why you don't use hooks and the like, many people can see it when the decisive battle test does not break out: the closed city head of Binh Duong New City is not only wrapped in metal, but also has a certain arc to a large extent, and it is not so easy to climb through things like hooks.

In this way, when Binh Duong New City seemed to have given up all resistance, the team in charge of the tentative attack soon touched the edge of the city and skillfully attacked the city. The attacking soldiers kept in mind the instructions before they set out: do not stand on top of the enemy's castle, but walk on their stomachs as much as possible and carry a unique metal shield with curved brackets behind them. The purpose of this is, of course, to prevent excessive pressure, so that the defenders will be able to determine the location of the person who has reached the summit through some unique means and defend accordingly.

However, this time the attacking side still underestimated the endless means of the defenders defending the western city of Binh Duong. At this moment, a fierce steam accompanied by water vapor that seemed to be hot oil swept through many places, swallowing up the hundreds of people who had just landed at the top of the city. Some time later, another attack on the city was also unsuccessful. The apparently extraordinary means of defense seemed to form a trench in front of the seemingly pleasant walls.

For some people who have seen martial arts masters who can come and go, this kind of defense seems to be no obstacle at all, but for ordinary soldiers who do not have unique abilities, it is not so easy to overcome. Even some armorers that appear to be well-defended are not immune to such defensive attacks.

After the tentative attack began to be frustrated, preparations for the attack during the day were not launched again, and it was not until night that the people who had re-perfected their preparations began to act again, taking advantage of the cover of night and even the smoke in the direction of the wind. Launching a large-scale operation at night without much guidance is also not something that an ordinary team without special training can easily do, but it is a completely different matter for a side that has had two or three years of careful preparation. Guided by the many equipment and even the rockets projected in the sky, the ladders, which are more lightweight to some extent using sophisticated steel bars as muscles, are raised side by side when they are not far from the target, and seem to form a unique bridge that can run directly to the city without much effort.

During the day, the panic-stricken jets deterred many people again, but that was all, and soon the tens of thousands of elites in charge of the siege rushed through the method of choosing jet intervals to launch assaults, and used the fastest way to use some ladders that looked very simple and light to get down the city. Especially when you feel that the other side is also in the dark, and no one should have the ability to find out where you are.

However, at this moment, a pound or so of lead-filled iron bullets like hail were vented in the darkness at a violent speed, which made many places become terrifying for a while, and the screams came one after another, making the team behind them begin to feel a huge crisis. Under such a fierce defensive position, many of the ladders that had been erected were also smashed into thousands of holes, and they could not rush to the top of the city as easily as before.

Using some kind of water pressure device brought by a special inner city water tower, there are more than 3,000 large counterweight trebuchets powered by water pressure in the entire Xichengtou. The three or four feet square lead-filled iron steel weighs about 20,000 catties. However, under the potential energy of the water flow, such a weight will be lifted to a few zhang in the air in just a few seconds or so, and more than 500 lead-filled iron bullets weighing about one pound can be projected to a hundred to a hundred zhang away at a time. In the past, it would have taken about three minutes to complete a projection with such a large trebuchet, even if there were enough people. However, when powered by specialized water, the projection device is capable of firing six rounds in a minute with constant aiming and adjustment.

In this way, in less than a minute or so, more than 3,000 water-pressure counterweight trebuchets were able to throw about 9 million lead-filled iron bullets. Even though the attacking side had already figured out how to effectively use its forces to break through the opponent's defenses, it still suffered heavy casualties when attacking at night.

Of course, under such a night attack, there were still many elite soldiers who broke through the defense line of the city head and broke through, but soon these people found that many roads in the city under the control of lights seemed to be different from the places they had seen and were familiar with during the day. Those who soon infiltrate are confronted with a variety of hidden arrows, both manned and unmanned, and very few are able to finally approach the hydrotrebuchet.

Because the attacking side was prepared with enough capital, the night attack did not stop after the initial setback, and under the pressure of the supervising team, the more than 50,000 elites who participated in the attack participated in the elite training finally ended before dawn after losing more than 30,000 people.

In this way, the chain of attacks ended in the defeat of the attacking side. In just one day and night, fifty or sixty thousand people were lost in or outside the city, and although the troops invested were to a large extent excellent and qualified, the loss of such intensity also completely lowered the morale of the entire army.

Before dawn, the signal came for reinforcements from the next group of fresh troops. Many heralds sent orders to retreat, with more than thirty percent of the teams suffering casualties. The purpose of this is, of course, self-evident: to secretly withdraw the badly lost contingent before it was fully light, in order to avoid any disturbance from the newcomers. As for the reason for stipulating that 30% is not half, it is also very simple, those teams with casualties and losses of less than 30% are mostly teams in non-main attack directions such as the south or east of the city, and they have not seen the strength of the defenders. In this way, the fear of the attacking team can be avoided to the greatest extent while taking turns to invest troops.

By the time the day was getting brighter, most of the besieging troops had retreated to more than three miles from the city, but Wài Wéi's forces in charge of the siege seemed to be significantly larger than before, reaching 300,000 men. It was only under such circumstances that the order to attack came for a whole day. There is no doubt about it: the defensive strength of Binh Duong New City has caused some to reassess the number of troops needed. It wasn't until a few days later, when the number of troops gathered in Binh Duong New Town reached one million, and it seemed that the conditions began to be able to attack simultaneously from all directions, and it seemed that all the cards of the defenders could be tested, that the attack began in the true sense.

This time, instead of using smoke during the day, the attacking army concentrated its troops and launched an attack in all directions. The formation of the attack was not a horizontal formation, but a column of sorts, with at least three rows of chariot shieldmen advancing in unison, covering their own ballistae and preparing to shoot their trampling arrows at closer distances.

When the attacking chariot array columns in all directions approached a distance of about 100 zhang, a round of spear-like arrows was shot out again from the cold shooting window on the head of the city, which could easily penetrate the entire car shield, and even the second row of car shields could effectively penetrate, that is, they were nailed to the shield when facing the third row of wood and sand composite car shields. Still, those who pushed the shield forward were not immune to casualties. Because of the continuous casualties and losses of the manpower pushing the shield car, many columns quickly stopped in the middle of the advance, and had to wait for the reinforcements to come up to let the car shield continue to advance. With a distance of about 100 paces, it seemed that it took a quarter of an hour and even more than 50,000 slave soldiers in all directions to finally complete the advance. At this moment, the entire column often came to a standstill at this distance.

The elite archers and even the small bed crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time also launched a dense suppression at a distance of about one hundred and twenty paces, so that the shooting windows on the various city heads were not only left with only the most basic observation slits and perforations. It was at this moment that the daytime close-range assault finally began.

Because the encounter at night made many people feel that it is not necessarily a very advantageous thing to organize an attack at night. Because many of the projection means of the defending side cannot be detected by the soldiers in the breakthrough in time, it is easy to cause more large-scale losses, but it is better to avoid some dangers more effectively when attacking during the day.

It's just that when the various columns seemed to be ready to assemble for a new offensive, completely different giant spears and heavy arrows were continuously projected along with ordinary heavy arrows. The three-sided car shield seems to be able to resist those strong crossbows with a speed of about two catties and four percent of the speed of sound, but it seems that it is difficult to effectively resist in the face of the six-catty steel-tipped iron arrows projected. Many of the people behind the shield were hit by piercing damage.

There are also many locust-like locusts with only a few or so heavy arrows, although they may not be able to pass through the car shield, but it is difficult for ordinary individual soldiers wearing armor and shields to effectively resist them. Even if the arrows are around the shield in a certain arc.

The defenders finally began to suffer sporadic casualties as they fought back, but the loss ratio still looked very favorable. Under the increasingly fierce counterattack and suppression, the various columns that had been prepared had to give up temporarily after suffering more than 30,000 casualties. Once again, the daytime offensive attempt was thwarted.

And so it was, for the next ten days. The attacking army launched four rounds of relatively large offensives in succession, some during the day and some at night, and the average casualties and losses in each round were 50,000 or 60,000 before finally retreating. It seems that the defending side won the overwhelming casualty loss ratio, and the casualty loss was only more than 200 people after the cumulative elimination of hundreds of thousands of opponents, which seemed to be completely at ease. It's just that many people in charge of the defense of Binh Duong New Town know that this is just a attrition tactic of the opponent with absolute superiority. It's just that the other party seems to have underestimated the family foundation accumulated in Pingyang New Town over the years, and the total number of these cannon fodder will not bring much trouble even if there are millions of them. However, if the other party really invests in the master to cooperate with the attack, it will be another matter entirely, and at that time, the only thing that can be counted on is some means of the daughter brought by the lord back then.
