War is a confrontation of willpower between the two sides, and in the urban offensive and defensive war, the attacker is the spear and the defender is the shield, and whoever has strong willpower will survive to the end, of course, this is only under the same conditions on both sides.

A war not only tests the will of the soldiers, but also takes into account logistics and strategy.

When it comes to siege warfare, what consumes the most? In addition to the lives of soldiers, there are also weapons and equipment, if the siege is less siege equipment, or there is no effective fire suppression, the siege for no reason will only increase casualties.

And if the defenders of the city lack the tools and arrows to defend the city, then the soldiers defending the city can only watch the enemy break through the gate, and then engage the enemy in close combat, and do not give full play to the advantages of defending the city at all.

Historically, most city defense battles have mostly ended with the defender's city being broken, and there are only a few successful cases of successful defense.

Most of the successful siege cases were successfully relieved by reinforcements arriving at the city in time to help the battle, and attacking from inside and outside.

Or if there are new troops to garrison the city wall, the city defense without external reinforcements will be breached sooner or later.

On September 2, 234 of the Tianli calendar, today is destined to be an unforgettable day for the people of Yan'an County.

The sun was still on the other side of the mountain, and when there was only the afterglow, a horn sounded on the city wall of the west gate of Yan'an County.

The long horn sounded, swearing the beginning of the war, and also reminded the other soldiers in Yan'an County that the bandits had begun to attack the city.

At the west gate of Yan'an County, outside the bandit camp, there were more than 1,000 bandits holding weapons, more than 100 bandits carrying ladders, and more than 10 bandits pushing a crash car and slowly leaning towards the west gate.

And just in front of the bandits were three hundred people from Yan'an County dressed in cloth, whose hands were tied, and a rope connected them all in three columns.

Behind these people were the bandits who were about to attack the city, and the bandits who followed closely behind the common people were armed with swords, forcing the people of Yan'an County to walk towards the west gate.

Some bandits walked among the crowds with ladders, and the same was true for crashing cars.

Soon, the bandits pressed three hundred people to a place nearly two hundred meters away from the city wall.

A bandit who seemed to be the leader came to the front of the people on horseback, pulled out the narrow war knife at his waist, pointed at Zhang Tie and others on the city wall, and said loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, I advise you to open the city and surrender immediately, and hand over the money, otherwise." ”

The bandit pointed back at the civilians standing behind him, "Otherwise, I will kill these people." ”

"My lord, please open the gates!"

"Help, sir! My lord! ”

"Hong'er, I'm your father, let the adults open the city gate!"

......

The people who were pointed at the knives and guns pleaded loudly to Zhang Tie and others on the city wall, the meaning was very clear, that is, they hoped that the soldiers on the city wall would open the city gate and surrender, and they did not want to be killed by the bandits.

"My lord, you must not open the city and surrender, they are"

A young man shouted loudly at the city wall, but before he could finish speaking, he was stabbed directly in the chest by the bandit behind him.

The young people slowly fell to the ground, still muttering to themselves: "My lord, you must not open the door and surrender"

The dead young people made the surrounding people shudder, and they were all looking at the bandits who were still dripping blood with fear on their faces.

Some of the people who were still shouting to surrender the city were all neck curled and did not dare to squeak again.

Licking the blood on the tip of the knife, the thief looked at the trembling people with a hideous face, and waved at the void of the people in front of him, and the people under him collapsed directly to the ground, and the crotch of his pants was directly wet, but he was frightened and incontinent.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The people who collapsed to the ground held their heads in their hands and shouted in a low voice in fright, for fear that the sound would be too loud and they would be directly slaughtered by the bandits in front of them.

"Hahaha!"

The bandit with the knife pointed at the people on the ground, laughed a few times, and then swept the people with a fierce gaze.

The hideous eyes made the hearts of many people skip a beat, for fear that this thief would raise a knife to kill again.

"Whoever dares to say something like him will end up here."

The bandit kicked the dead people, warned many people, and spat on the corpse after speaking, "Bah, sample, you still want to be a hero, why did you go earlier." ”

On the city wall of the West Gate, looking at the people who were randomly killed by the bandits who resisted, including Zhang Tie, all the people on the city wall had very ugly faces, and their eyes were about to erupt into flames.

Zhang Tie and the others never expected that the bandits in front of them would actually use ordinary people as conditions to make the soldiers defending the city surrender.

And I didn't expect that the bandits were so cruel that the people said they would kill them, and they didn't blink their eyes at all.

The death of the young people made the corners of Zhang Tie's eyes twitch, and he secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Why don't these damn bandits die!" ’

After looking back at the expressions of the soldiers, and finding that there was nothing else except for their ugly faces, Zhang Tie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, our people are stationed at the West Gate today, if the people stationed there are still soldiers from Yan'an County, the consequences are really unthinkable. ’

Indeed, if it were the soldiers of Yan'an County stationed at the west gate today, it is estimated that they would really open the city gate and surrender, because the people outside have their relatives, and it is impossible to let the bandits slaughter.

Since more than 300 civilians have been brought here today, it is not difficult to imagine that these bandits had this idea from the beginning, otherwise it would not have been possible to capture so many civilians.

Boom!

Wei Yan slammed his fist on the city wall, made a muffled sound, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, these cunning bandits actually take advantage of innocent ordinary people. ”

Zhang Tie on the side also frowned, it was absolutely impossible to surrender in Kaesong, but watching the people die in the hands of the bandits, Zhang Tie was still a little difficult to accept.

At this time, Yan Beichen stepped forward, pointed behind him, and said to Zhang Tie politically: "My lord, you must not open the city and surrender, behind this gate is the county seat, and the safety of the people inside is on us." ”

Nodding slightly, Zhang Tie sighed secretly, "I'm sorry, I can only choose to protect my people, because they are more numerous than you, and they can't let more innocent people be harmed." ’

At the same time, Zhang Tie was even more dissatisfied with the county order of Yan'an County, because the cause of all this was made by the county order of Yan'an County. 'Humph! Damn vanity. ’

Coming to the edge of the city wall, Zhang Tie said loudly in the direction of the outside of the city: "The people outside the city, I'm sorry, I can't open the city and surrender, because there are more civilians behind me." ”

"My lord, don't, my lord."

"My lord, help us, woo woo."

"Kaesong has surrendered, my lord!"

......

As soon as Zhang Tie's words fell, most of the people outside the city began to cry, shouting for help in their mouths.

Only a few people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and looked at the other companions who begged for mercy with complicated faces.
