"Siege engines! Wait and see, the enemy's siege engines are out! A tun chief exclaimed as he lay on the city wall without looking back.

"What's it called, I'm not blind, I can't see?" Huang Yao also lay on the battlements and looked into the distance.

Unlike the ants in Jingcheng County and Shangai County who attacked the city and won by quantity, the siege troops in Lingshou County and Pingjiao County were much more technical.

Not only are the siege troops a lot more elite, but there are junior special troops from time to time, and what is even more dazzling is the endless array of siege weapons, which fully demonstrates the heritage of the century-old family!

Only three days after the siege began, rushing carts, ladders, trebuchets, bed crossbows, etc., appeared in rows under the city, repeatedly challenging the nerves of the defenders at the head of the city.

These weapons can be exchanged for merit points, but the price of rushing cars and trebuchets is higher than that of siege crossbows, and local tyrants such as Ye Teng can't afford to use them. In the current Huaxia District, there is no player force that can make its own, so if such high-end weapons want to be popularized among players, they can only wait for the future to slowly climb the technology tree.

Due to the appearance of a large number of high-end siege equipment such as siege crossbows and trebuchets in the Yuan army under the city, in the past three days, the casualty ratio of the enemy and us was far lower than the original estimate of the defenders of Lingshou County.

According to Xu Huang's previous estimates, the casualty ratio of the two sides should be 4:1, or even 5:1, and as a result, in the past few days, the casualty ratio between the soldiers of the Yuan army and the soldiers of Tianma City was less than 3:1. Looking at such casualty data, from the commander Xu Huang, to the military Sima Chen Ming, the military Hou Huang Yao, etc., they were all depressed.

At this time, Chen Ming, who had been reported by Huang Yao, quickly ran to the city tower to find Xu Huang and reported the latest battle situation to him, hoping to get strong support in terms of city defense equipment.

After listening to Chen Ming's report, Xu Huang's face was as calm as water: "There are no higher-end equipment!" I don't have the ability to build Tianma City by myself, and it is too expensive to exchange it directly with the system, so I can only fight with Yuan Jun. Fortunately, if we lose one combat power, the other party will also lose nearly three, and there are not a few elite soldiers and strong generals in our Lingshou City, it depends on how much the Yuan family is willing to pay for a Lingshou City! ”

"But the casualties of the soldiers are too great...... Chen Ming's position is too far from Xu Huang, and it stands to reason that he should not be verbose, but as a front-line general, he will inevitably try his best to reduce the casualties of his soldiers by any way.

Seeing what Chen Ming was going to say, Xu Huang directly interrupted him. On the battlefield, there is no hesitation and soft-heartedness, although Chen Ming has good potential and has the qualifications of a famous general, but at this time he is not mature after all, Xu Huang is not stingy to beat and teach him a lesson:

"I don't have any equipment, but you can promise the brothers, as long as everyone fights hard, whoever has reached the peak of this rank, I can give him a priority to transfer to the battlefield!"

"As a front-line general, you must have the confidence to win, no matter how strong the enemy's equipment is? If this kind of battle feels difficult, then in a different place, the future will be attacked by you and the enemy will defend, should you retreat without a fight? ”

"Yes! Subordinates retire! Chen Ming said no more and bowed and retired. Since the actual conditions are like this, he can only find a way to repel the enemy's attacks again and again at the lowest cost!

——————————

"Brothers, the enemy is coming, kill them!" Xiao Shan yelled and rushed out first.

In the past few days, the defenders at the head of the city have taken local materials and directly used the piles of defensive equipment to make use of the piles of defensive equipment, using stones as a base, laying wooden planks and sassal woods on top to make simple "air-raid shelters", and when the enemy troops concentrate on long-range attacks, most of the people will hide in them, leaving only a few observation posts behind the battlements.

When the enemy starts to climb the ladder, the long-range attack will naturally stop for fear of accidental injury, and the defenders will rush out of the "bomb shelter" and fight the enemy under the reminder of the observation post!

On the way to the battlements, Xiao Shan picked up a large stone with his hands, and when he reached the battlements, he just saw that the fastest enemy had climbed halfway up the ladder. So he threw the stone in his hand at Yuan Jun who climbed the ladder as fast as he could, and then quickly hid behind the battlement.

At this moment, only a "whoosh" was heard, and a powerful crossbow flew overhead, and shot into the arm of a halberd soldier who was rushing towards the wall in the rear.

It seems that this ladder of the enemy army is covered by a special sharpshooter!

"Ahh There was a scream from the ladder under the battlement, and if nothing happened, the stone he threw hit the army that had ascended the city, and the enemy should have fallen in a bunch. After defending the city for a long time, Xiao Shan's accuracy of throwing stones and sassalwood has been quite good, basically reaching the level of nine out of ten shots.

"Ahh Many people also fell on the head of the city. There are those who are called by the enemy's sharpshooters when they throw stones and trees, and there are also those who are shot by stray arrows when they rush forward.

This is already calculated, if the enemy army uses bed crossbows and trebuchets, the scene will be even more tragic!

Seeing such a situation, although Xiao Shan was accustomed to killing the enemy in person, he did not forget his duty as a military candidate, after all, he had more than 300 halberds under his command.

"What the fuck are you dying? Hurry up, after dropping the wood and stones, don't you hurry back to the female wall, and wait for the enemy archer to be named?! Xiao Shan roared.

After a long time on the battlefield, Xiao Shan's voice became louder and louder, so when he heard his voice, basically his soldiers could hear it.

What kind of generals, what kind of soldiers to bring. Xiao Shan was born with divine power and fought bravely, so the soldiers he led were very brave in battle, but the organization was relatively inferior to Huang Yao's subordinates.

"Zhang Yu, lead the archers to fight back! The trebuchets of the enemy have stopped, and we are in the city, are we not as good as their bows and arrows? Xiao Shan continued to order.

"No!" Zhang Yu replied loudly, trotted to the right, and led the archers to trot behind the battlements.

Zhang Yu is nearly thirty years old, born in Orion, has advanced archery skills, and is a general under Xiao Shan who specializes in leading and training archers!

"Whoosh whoosh ......" Soon, the sound of archers returning fire sounded over the city, ending the situation of being passively beaten by long-range means. The soldiers who attacked with wood and stones no longer shy back.

The smell of boiling gold juice wafted from the front, but no one cared about this, at this time, if there was a pile of cow dung on the ground that could kill the enemy, it is estimated that everyone would not hesitate to pick it up and throw it at the enemy!

"Leave me a melee reserve for each tun, otherwise everyone will crowd the wall, and the enemy will not panic when he jumps on the wall?" Xiao Shan saw that the city was a little chaotic, and loudly ordered the three tun chiefs.

In any case, he has also been an officer for a short time, has also received some training, has a lot of actual combat experience, and still has the common sense of defending the city.

"No!" The three tun chiefs took the order and left.

The battlefield is not only a melting pot, but also the best teacher. In less than a year, Xiao Shan successfully completed the transformation from a farmer to a qualified general!
