The city wall east of the north gate of Gushi City is only so long, and 2,500 soldiers of one army are enough to fill this section of the city wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In his opinion, in addition to the fact that the two sides can crush each other in the breakthrough of the military generals, in the duel of the conventional military formation, the Caizhou army can completely blow up the Gushi army in the city.

Even if the Gushi Army may have an endless stream of defensive means and even magic equipment, this cannot change the result that the strength of the army determines the outcome of the victory, and a war can never be changed by some small means or some kind of equipment.

The five loose formations followed the front of the shield soldiers and licensed soldiers in front of them and advanced rapidly, the moat had been basically filled, and the road ahead was already a smooth road.

For the Caizhou army, there is only the city breaker due to its own weight, and the original section of the moat ground is too soft, and it is necessary to lay wooden planks, so that the city breaker with too heavy self-weight can smoothly reach the city wall to launch a wall-breaking offensive, and other things such as cloud ladders, flying ladders, hook ladders, and pointed wooden donkeys are not a problem at all.

The five attack formations spread out were lined up, and as the drums tightened, the soldiers raised their shields and swords, and the pace increased.

They will face the baptism of the crossbow, the catapult, and the crossbow, but this time is no longer the passive beating they had been before, their pointed wooden donkeys, nest carts, catapults, and well fences have already followed, and the crossbowmen have also followed up to suppress the attack from the wall.

The war raged and entered a white-hot phase with little transition.

The archers and catapults were the first to enter the position, and due to the difference in geographical height, the crossbowmen and catapults of the Caizhou army had to risk advancing to a closer distance in order to suppress the enemy forces on the Gushi wall, which also increased the danger of them being attacked by the other side.

The war began with the exchange of long-range weapons from both sides, and quickly moved into hand-to-hand battles for the capture of the city.

A stray arrow swept past Jiang Feng's ear, bringing a strong wind, and hit the pillar of the city gate next to it, and the arrow buzzed.

Jiang Feng glanced at the arrows piercing the pillars with some indifference, and his gaze returned to the bottom, and the battle on the left and right flanks broke out almost at the same time, and it became white-hot as soon as it came up.

The Caizhou Army auxiliaries and militiamen on the left flank suddenly threw in unprecedented strength, and the dense crowd of militias and auxiliaries almost filled the edge of this moat.

They screamed as they rained down the arrows and stones above their heads, but they couldn't stop them from coming one after another.

The raindrops of dirt bags fell into the moat, causing the moat to rise rapidly, but it was soon swallowed up by more dirt bags, and the moat was slowly filled in by the overwhelming earth bags.

I have to admit that the Caizhou Army is quite impressive even in terms of the training of auxiliaries and civilian soldiers, at least under such heavy casualties, although the ranks are constantly chaotic, they will always be scolded by the officers in a relatively short period of time and spurred to return to normal.

Jiang Feng, who had returned from the western city wall, had to secretly admire this, at least the Gushi Army would never be able to organize such an auxiliary army with considerable organizational discipline and operating procedures, and it was even difficult to reach the level of the people.

If there is no accident, the time for the west moat to be filled is probably shorter than expected, and I am afraid that many moats will be filled in an hour, and even the entire west moat will probably not be filled in more than an hour and a half, and at that time, the west will become the same as the east wall, becoming an attack area that the Caizhou army can choose at will.

Jiang Feng was also a little helpless about this situation.

As a county seat, Gushicheng's moat is indeed too narrow and shallow.

Before the ant thieves attacked, the moat of Gushi City had even been annihilated for many years, and the foundation of the moat was still the foundation dug in the Northern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it had not been dredged for many years, so it was naturally annihilated.

Later, he advocated the re-dredging of the moat and the re-diversion of the tributaries of the muddy water to fill it, so that the moat could be used.

But the old moat was too shallow and narrow, and Gushi didn't have that much time or manpower to further deepen and widen the moat.

Now it seems that it is indeed a mistake, if this moat is a few feet wider and deeper, the Caizhou army will spend at least half an hour to fill it, and this half an hour may mean that hundreds of auxiliary soldiers and civilians will have to pay for it.

If the Gushi army can really survive this time, and if the Huzhou they envision really has hope of being newly built, then the moat of Gushi City must be re-dredged and excavated, and the depth must be at least three to five feet deeper, and the width should be widened by one zhang, so as to have a foundation that can withstand the siege of tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Compared with the stalemate on the left flank, the battlefield above and below the eastern wall was much more tragic and fiery.

Except for a small number of auxiliaries and civilians who continued to throw dirt bags and lay wooden planks at the beginning to ensure that the line of the moat could be passed through by heavy city breakers, as soon as this side came up, the Caizhou army invested a whole army, five battalions, and 2,500 people directly launched a charge.

Hundreds of ladders, hooks, ladders, nest carts, well fences, and pointed wooden donkeys, under the cover of catapults and crossbowmen, swept towards the city wall in a loose and orderly formation, and in a few breaths, the entire eastern wall was densely packed with ant-like soldiers who filled the entire battlefield.

When Jiang Feng rushed back from the left flank, it was just in time for this most tense and suffocating time.

Under the city wall, Caizhou soldiers have begun to arrive and attack, and there are constantly hook ladders and cloud ladders directly on the wall battlements.

And this kind of hook ladder with hook and ladder once set up on the battlement of the city wall, the thick iron hook is strong and abnormal, it is difficult to cut, and if it cannot be cut, it can only be smashed by heavy objects such as rolling wood and stones, or it is poured oil and ignited and burned, which is much more troublesome, especially when dozens of cloud ladders and hook ladders are set up at the same time, and the Caizhou sergeant who holds a shield and bites the steel knife quickly climbs up like an ape, so that the defender is easily shocked by this visual impact.

Before Jiang Feng, who rushed back, gave the order, Yang Kan, who was temporarily acting as the commander, had already clenched his fists, stood behind the wall, waved his hand suddenly, and roared angrily: "Drop the wooden tower, the left and right wings, free launch!"

With countless small red flags waving, the Falling Wooden Tower, which had already torn off the curtain of the cloth, finally began to roar.

I have to say that Yang Kan grasped the timing quite accurately, and the crossbowmen of the Caizhou army had already approached within fifty steps, which was also the distance at which the crossbowmen of the Caizhou army could exert the greatest power under the unfavorable terrain.

And the same siege equipment such as the well fence also needs to reach this distance to maximize the effect of suppressing the crossbowmen on the city wall.

With long-range weapons such as crossbowmen, catapults, and well-bars to suppress, it's the perfect time to take advantage of the Soldier Ant's attachment to the wall, but it's also the perfect time to use the unimaginable magic of the Falling Tower.

Accompanied by the red flag, the six fallen wooden towers placed on the eastern city wall began to exert their prestige.

The continuous rolling logs were thrown into the air, tumbling, whistling, accompanied by huge kinetic energy coming from the air, and everyone was stunned by all this for a while.

Such a huge piece of rolling wood, no matter what kind of strong man, can throw it a foot away is already amazing, and these can't see the clue of the falling wood tower, it is easy to project the rolling wood that is more than six feet long, the diameter is one foot away, and the weight of more than 100 catties is thirty or forty steps away.

At the same time, the six towers began to throw out the rolling logs continuously, one just had time to fly up and fall downward, and the other immediately rose into the air, more than ten rolling logs tumbled and flew in the air, flew more than 30 steps, and fell heavily on the ground.

The huge inertial kinetic energy can smash countless piles of meatloaf on the ground at that time, and the rolling log after landing on the ground will not stop, and it will continue to roll forward fiercely and brutally, and everything that dares to stand in its way, whether it is a person or a thing, will die next to it, and rot when touched.

Two of the logs hit a railing directly, breaking a half-middle bar on the spot, and then a second log followed, hitting the railing itself in a crumbling support.

The entire well fence suddenly broke and collapsed, and the seven or eight archers above suddenly fell to the point of bleeding and mutilated limbs.

There was also a log that was directly thrown into the dense bow and arrow array, running rampant, causing casualties among more than 20 archers in an instant, causing the entire bow and arrow array to almost collapse.

This kind of spectacular scene simply made the blood of the soldiers of the Gushi Army on the city wall tremble, and at the same time, it also made the generals of the Caizhou Army below tremble!

Since the six towers were all thrown in a right-angled diagonal line, the logs rolled along a diagonal line, and one was enough to sweep several columns of centaurs.

This also caused great difficulty for the soldiers who wanted to dodge, who were often obscured by their companions, and by the time the screams came, the rolling log had already crashed into their bodies.

The soldiers who were eager to dodge couldn't care much at this time, and ran around to dodge in exclamation, and the charging formation launched was stirred up by dozens of rolling logs in just a few breaths!

And this is a great opportunity for trebuchets, crossbowmen and archers on the ramparts.

Without the suppression of the enemy archers, they could concentrate their forces more unscrupulously against the soldiers who were already approaching more than ten zhang below the city walls.

also lost the support of the follow-up soldiers, and these ladders and hook ladders quickly fell into trouble.

The hot oil poured from the head and head quickly turned into a flame ladder with a little bit of the fire, and countless soldiers were also burned by the oil fire that burned and injured them next to it, and they couldn't die. (To be continued.) )
