In the ancient history of the earth, in addition to a large number of siege equipment, cold weapon siege warfare often had to reach several times the strength of the defending side before launching an attack, otherwise, the commander of the besieging side would often choose a safe siege battle!

The siege of the city is a city with a large population and lack of materials, it is naturally a plan to surrender the army without a fight, but the city that knows the news in advance will have a large amount of food and grass materials in the city, if the upper echelons of the defending side feel that the siege will last for a long time, they will cruelly expel the useless old and weak women and children in the city!

In the cruel wars of ancient times, the kind of commander who loves the people like a son and does not hesitate to face the risk of defeat does not exist, it is just an exaggerated hero image in the TV series!

As for the purpose of the nomads to expel the people of the Central Plains and attack the city, it is not to let the army defending the city throw rats and do not dare to shoot arrows, but simply use the civilians of the Central Plains as meat shields to consume the arrows and crossbowstones and other defense equipment of the defending side!

The kind of benevolent and loving commander in the TV series who is reluctant to order to shoot the people is impossible to exist, if there is really such a benevolent general, he will not resist anymore, how convenient is it to surrender in Kaesong?

Not only did it save the people outside the city, but it also saved the people inside the city from enemy retaliation!

Even the most ferocious conqueror, in the face of a city that surrenders voluntarily, as long as there is no special reason, it is rare to order a massacre!

This is just a basic means for the conqueror to maintain his own prestige, if even those who surrender voluntarily are killed, who will dare to open the city and surrender in the future?

Wouldn't that make you feel uncomfortable?!

Even the cities slaughtered by Genghis Khan were acts of anger and deterrence after the stubborn resistance of the enemy!

Genghis Khan's main purpose was to motivate and reward the besieging soldiers for their bravery, and to proclaim to those who dared to resist that the end of resistance was destruction!

The Mongols were able to sweep the Eurasian continent, which had a great deal to do with their brutal slaughter of cities and exterminations, and most of the cities taken by the Mongols were taken out of fear of the Mongols slaughtering the cities and exterminating the tribes, and they took the initiative to open the door and surrender!

Otherwise, there are so many cities in Eurasia, even if the Mongols pull up more servant armies and push them all the way, people will almost die......

A city with a complete city defense system and even a moat is filled with human lives!

Fortunately, the Argos City that Lei Zihao is facing is not the orthodox city of ancient earth, and the backward Pylos people can only build the most primitive low earth walls, and they have not even built urn cities and arrow towers!

Not to mention the tall things like moats......

This is also the reason why Lei Zihao dared to take less than 8,000 people to attack Argos City, which has tens of thousands of Pylos!

Under the city of Argos, a cavalryman in iron armor passed the city walls with a white flag, and an arrow was fired, shooting a scroll wrapped in paper at the head of the city of Argos!

This is a means of basically transmitting information between the two hostile sides in the case of mutual distrust, and the people of Pylos do not feel humiliated, after all, they also carry white flags to shoot arrows......

Of course, if this cavalry does not run over with a white flag, it will definitely turn into a hornet's nest!

The phenomenon of riding out in the TV series, like divine help from afar, to snipe at an ultra-long distance or pretending to be forced is impossible to happen in reality......

Even if someone is born with amazing arm strength and can pull a special strong bow that is much harder than ordinary bows and arrows, it is completely face-to-face luck to shoot the arrows from a long distance under the gaze of the archers of the enemy city!

The ancients said that a hundred steps through Yang are considered marksmen, but you must know that a hundred steps is only equivalent to about 50 meters in the later life!

The archers stand on the city wall and take advantage of the terrain to throw down a round of fire, and within 400 steps is a dangerous area!

Just ask, which archer can bend his bow and arrow for accurate shooting from 400 paces away?

If you really want such an awesome person, the bed crossbow or something can be eliminated!

It is enough for this man to slip around outside the city and set fire to the crossbow at the head of the city with one arrow......

A strong man with broad shoulders, a rare suit of iron armor and a helmet full of feathers, received from the guards the enemy letters shot at the head of the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Above are all letters of persuasion written by Lei Zihao in the Pilos script, claiming that as long as all the people of Argos City lay down their arms and open the door to surrender, and in the future they will be loyal to Lei Zihao and become his loyal people, they can spare their lives!

There were no promises of wealth, no guarantees of rights, and no promises of the Elders of Argos and the magnates of Pylos!

Maybe this letter of surrender is not bad for the Pylos civilians, anyway, the Pylos civilians are the greatest wish......

But for the high-ranking Elder Pyros and the letter-reading Commander Pyrlos, it was a great disgrace!

Once he surrenders, it is equivalent to giving up all the rights and positions in Argos City now, and instead of becoming a humiliated downfall, it is better to take the entire Argos City to fight to the death!

For these people in power, what difference is there from the walking dead when they lose their status and rights?

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift!

"Humph! Just the arrogant words of the Seris, we Pylos will not succumb to the butcher's knife of the murderous people! Tell the order to go down, blow the horn of war, and fight to the end for our homeland, the city of Argos! ”

The commander of Pylos, who was wearing iron armor, directly tore up the letter paper and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times, as if to express his determination to fight to the death!

After Lei Zihao heard the war horn sounding at the head of Argos, his eyes narrowed and he glanced at Leonidas beside him.

Ten minutes later, several Pylos prisoners of war came to the city of Argos with white flags and shouted at the top of their voices: "The Seris said that as long as you surrender, you will save your lives, otherwise you will all die!" ”

"Presumptuous! Archers, shoot these cowards in the city! ”

A rain of arrows fell, where could those Pylos prisoners of war outrun the speed of arrows?

A few Pilos prisoners of war who came to persuade them to surrender suddenly became corpses of different shapes!

Lei Zihao, who was sitting on the war horse, smiled and ordered: "Drum ~ march!" The Pylos try to fend off the army with a low earthen wall, and they will regret their choice! ”

Lei Zihao repeatedly sent people to persuade him to surrender, not only to act for the Pylos soldiers, but also to convey a message to the soldiers under his command, not that I, the commander, are looking for death, but that the Pylos people on the opposite side are looking for death!

Lei Zihao: This is to pave the way for the slaughter of the city in the future......
