Chapter 729: Pressure

There is bound to be a big war today.

It seems that half of my students are very serious, ready to go all out, and as soon as they come up, they are gambling that they can't support it?

The veteran gave the order calmly and calmly.

Let the recruits come up to defend the city, and the veterans will prepare and rest in the back.

These veterans will be at their disposal in times of crisis.

Yang Xuan also divided the soldiers into different groups.

At the same time, he also ordered the troops of auxiliaries and civilians to defend the city and speed up the transportation to the city.

also found the Lin family's people here, and asked them to transport more of them, and they have so many siege towers, catapults, etc., and they can't be less on their side.

There are also stonemasons, masons and the like who are mobilized to repair the city wall at any time, and it will be too late to find it now, so you must prepare in advance, and when the time comes, the front line will kill the enemy, and the city wall will be repaired later.

Of course, in addition to these veterans, they also have their own magic weapons to defend the city.

In addition to repairing the city wall, there is also a need for something that can be used to fill the gap, such as knife carts, horse rejections, etc., which can not only play a defensive role in defensive battles, but also act as a wall in case of emergency, giving the defenders time to defend.

The veteran also asked people to contact the other three defenders to send troops to support, and these were all reserves. When the situation is in crisis, it will be too late to adjust.

Now it is relatively convenient to take the initiative in our own hands.

Similarly, the veteran also informed the generals of the three defenders that if the battle conditions permitted, the people of the three defenders could send cavalry to attack and harass the perimeter to contain the enemy.

As for what to say about the shock siege machine.

If it's a former official army, it's okay to say. Now, the siege machine may be the most heavily defended place, and rushing in is to send it, so it's better to be conservative.

In the end, the veteran led the guards to sit at the head of the city, not only to show that I, a veteran, can improve morale by being with you, but also to illustrate a problem, that is, to supervise the battle.

Veterans are not afraid of death, standing on the front line, so what do you young soldiers have to meet and retreat?

Even the recruits know what it means to be a warlord, and some of them are also face-saving figures, and there is no shame in dying at the hands of the enemy, but if they die at the hands of their own people, it is really a wreck.

Moreover, there were not many people in the city, and they were scattered, and there were catapults, which in themselves could not be too close, otherwise a dozen would be a large area.

At the same time, the veteran is also ready to activate the formation at any time, and the manpower is not yet able to face the huge stones, so he can only find a way from other external forces.

Everything is ready and waiting for the final attack.

The enemy forces under the city were also quickly mobilized.

It was divided into five teams, and the first one came up and advanced directly to the front.

A large number of siege engines are directly activated and start to fill with stones, and catapult attacks are often the first wave, which is used to suppress the fire of the enemy's castle head, and destroy the city defenses, so as to facilitate the attack of siege towers and the like.

A test-fired catapult was complete with three attacks.

It can hit the city accurately, and then every catapult will be adjusted based on this.

When the first wave of boulders approached, the people on the city walls were a little panicked.

Think of a stone bigger than a person and it will become meat sauce.

However, the circle on the city wall was opened at the right time.

A faint light curtain was formed, which made the big guy faintly feel a sense of peace.

They stared at the boulder tightly, ready to adjust their position at any time, and they couldn't stand stupidly and be beaten.

It's just that the changes in the back are very difficult for everyone to accept, and the veterans have not reacted.

The magic circle of the upper city was set up specifically to block long-range attacks, and it was set up by Qingfeng Guan before, but then the Sprout Sect came, it was broken, and then it was strengthened.

So the effect should be even stronger than the original.

The impact of the stone should be diverted, causing the stone to deflect and land somewhere else.

And today there is a faint glow on these stones.

Then there was a crackle like tearing window paper, and the light curtain of the formation broke.

The boulder slammed directly into the city, very suddenly.

Some people haven't reacted yet, and they don't even scream before they become meat sauce.

The Guardian Formation is ineffective.

The people at the head of the city immediately panicked, this way of dying was too cruel.

The morale suddenly dropped a lot, on the contrary, the soldiers outside the city suddenly became active, screaming excitedly, and they had a lot of stones, and they all threw them out and didn't know how many casualties they could cause.

In particular, the soldiers of the catapult were excited.

If it was in the past, they would have worked hard at best.

But there are too few thorough feats.

Because of siege warfare, equipment is more often only an auxiliary role.

Now there's a chance to play to the fullest, and they're excited.

In particular, Lin Hong said that if the city could be broken, the soldiers of these catapults should take credit.

This made some people scream with excitement.

The effort increased, and more stones were thrown at the head of the city.

The defenders at the head of the city were immediately beaten.

The same is true of the city wall, because with the blessing of the barrier breaking charm, it has a very strong penetrating power, and there are many cracks on the city wall.

You must know that such a wall is very tough to defend the interior, and one or two bombardments will not have much effect.

Now that the cracks are already thick under the dense bombardment, you know how strong it is.

I don't know if there is someone sheltering in the dark, Yang Xuan's location was really not hit by a flying stone.

If he didn't say back, no one else could either.

Now the head of the city is simply not able to form an effective defense.

Some even hit the city, not knowing what buildings they came across.

Yang Su looked at his grandfather a little nervously, compared to such a huge stone, the cultivation of a martial artist is really nothing, and he may be able to resist a few pieces, but a dozen or so are not what his current personal ability can resist.

Now this situation can not form an effective defense on the head of the city, if according to the art of war, things can not be done, can be turned into street fighting, when the city wall can no longer play its defensive role, there is no need to fight for this piece of death, to be flexible.

But the morale of the city was not high, and it was hit.

If you retreat next, I'm afraid it won't be a wave of decline in morale.

And they did not have enough force to destroy the enemy's catapults.

Whether it is to stay or retreat, there are pros and cons, and how to deal with it depends on how Yang Xuan makes decisions. Lele Literature

Is this the surprise that half of his apprentice gave him? Sure enough, there is confidence, the Lin family doesn't have such a thing, this little guy doesn't know how long he has been hiding before he is willing to use it.

But things with such an effect can't be endless.

There must be a number, so the duration of such an attack is not particularly strong.

Yang Xuan made a bold decision.

"Order the recruits to remove the city, have them prepare their knife carts, inform the craftsmen to prepare the city walls, and let the veterans come up and take over the city defenses."

When Yang Su heard this, he did not hesitate, and directly asked the herald to convey the news as soon as possible.

Every veteran is very precious, but at this time, it is possible that they will die without playing their due role, but if they don't do it, those recruits really can't support it.

After the recruits heard the order, they went down with all kinds of complicated expressions on their faces. Unlike them, a group of calm retrograde people walked up, their equipment may not be shiny, or even a little old, but this is their old buddy.

Some of them even have gray hair, but their eyes are unusually determined.

That's what a veteran is.

Unlike the unprepared recruits, they don't have much volatility after they go up to the city, and they experience a variety of attacks.

In the face of huge stones, they calmly dodge, and do not run around like recruits, they have the vision and experience, they know how to keep themselves safe at the same time, not to be pig teammates, how to maintain their physical strength, how to fight back at the enemy in the rain of flying stones and arrows.

And they also believe that the veteran will not let them come forward to die in vain.

Under the cover of stones, enemy siege towers and ladders began to approach.

If you really let it go, you will really be blind.

So they had to fight back, even at the risk of being smashed into pulp at any moment.

Yang Xuan's estimate was not wrong, the number of this barrier-breaking talisman was limited, and Lin Hong concentrated most of it on the catapult, just about to use it on the blade.

The use of barrier-breakers has been of great benefit to the stone-throwing.

The walls of the upper city were opened up in large areas.

There is already a clear gap.

On the ground, the siege troops advanced slowly.

Things look good.

As for the remaining small amount, Lin Hong kept it for later use.

This first wave of sieges was also for the new recruits.

They looked at the cracked city wall and felt that they had the chance of victory, they had strong siege equipment, and the opposite wall had been beaten to pieces early, and it looked like it was crumbling.

Wouldn't that be able to win?

But they may be overconfident.

Slowly, the stone-throwing decreased.

Part of the reason is that the barrier breaker is almost used, and the limit of the number is about to be reached, and another important reason is that the siege force is getting closer and closer to the enemy's city wall, and if you continue to project, it is very likely to accidentally damage the friendly army.

So it stopped.

The siege phalanx is full of confidence, but the defenders are more experienced than them, and the seemingly dilapidated walls are hidden behind the veterans who are experienced and know how to use the battlefield environment to protect themselves.

When the siege phalanx is close enough.

The dense rain of arrows slanted down, and when it shot into the crowd, it brought up a blood flower.

If you change to the previous recruits, you can't do this level of counterattack.

Fighting began near the city walls.

At the beginning, the besieging side, relying on their own blood and bravery, did rush to the top several times.

But it was quickly repelled again and again.

The defenders of the city are steady and ruthless enough, and they are going to be harmful, and they never waste too much of their firepower.

At the same time, some of the recruits began to appear in the city after the stones stopped, helping the veterans to share the pressure.

There is no superfluous strategy, it is a collision of strength.

The competition is all about combat skills.

The side with a large number of veterans is clearly superior.

They knew it was going to be a long-lasting battle, so they aimed for it, not on their own momentary bravery.

When attacking, focus on the enemy's vital points, and kill as much as possible with one blow, so as not to waste time and save physical strength.

The siege towers below sent up waves of people, but they have not been able to open the situation. Instead, it is confined to a small area. It's the same as cutting leeks, going up and killing a wave in waves.

It's not like capturing an area, but it's like a hole deliberately made by the defenders of the city, deliberately waiting for the target to appear and hunting.

Lin Hong, who was in the Chinese army in the distance, knew at a glance that he might not be able to make any achievements this time, but he did not order a retreat at the first time, now is not the time to retreat, it is a little early, and it is necessary to further consume the physical strength, energy and materials of the city on the other side.

After another period of time, sensing that the morale of the front line was a little low, Lin Hong immediately ordered the first phalanx to retreat and the second phalanx to rise.

The second phalanx, which had already recuperated and recuperated, rushed forward like a wolf and a tiger, because there was already an order, and that phalanx broke through, and that phalanx was rewarded.

With competition, the mentality of these phalanx people is a bit strange, on the one hand, they don't want these comrades to succeed, they want to get the fruits of victory, and on the other hand, they don't want them to lose too much, which means that they don't have much hope of breaking through, and they may need to pay more if they want to succeed.

When the first phalanx retreated, they went down to rest, and nothing felt wrong.

Now they are used to the smell of blood on the battlefield.

The second phalanx has a better proportion of veterans.

If the first phalanx is purely attritional, there will be more and more veterans in the phalanx below, and as for the last finale, the siege phalanx is composed of the elite of the Kyoto battalion, which is very powerful.

It can be said to be the most elite force.

This also means that Lin Hong's offensive will get stronger and stronger.

There will also be increasing pressure on the upper fortifications.

And in order to boost morale, veterans have been pulled up early, although recruits can become veterans after experience, but this requires time is not just a few battles can be fast.

Unless there is other assistance.

Veterans are people who don't fight alone.

As long as the people in Kyoto are not stupid, they will never sit idly by like this.

Reinforcements are bound to come.

And before the reinforcements rush over, whether or not this place can be guarded depends on Yang Xuan's arrangement.

When the second wave of the offensive was launched, Lin Hong did not wait on the spot, but went to the commander of the third phalanx and handed him something, something that could increase the chance of victory, and captured the thief first.

Everyone understands this truth, and my own teacher is probably in the city now.
