When the restless drums sounded, the soldiers at the head of the Qingzhou city wall were still taking turns to eat, the first wave of soldiers had just eaten halfway, and the second round of soldiers had not had time to serve the bowls, and the drums sounded in the camp of the enemy army under the city wall.

As if receiving an order, the soldiers rushed into battle according to their respective paths, and the officers shouted and cursed the soldiers who were a little nervous and dizzy, and urged these soldiers to be in place with a curse and a roar.

However, to the disappointment of the Pinglu Army, although the enemy camp was in a hurry, not a single one of them left the camp, not even a single shield cart lined up in front of the formation.

The soldiers were scolding, but the officers were very angry, and this was the advantage of the main attacker, who could choose the pace of attack whenever and wherever he wanted, while the defender could only follow them.

Chai Yong stroked the Mo knife in his hand with interest, stood on the ridge with one leg, and looked ahead.

There was a rush on the head of the city wall, and then it quickly calmed down in his eyes, I have to say that Wang Shouzhong's tooth army is still quite level, just by virtue of being able to quickly enter the position in such a short time, there are few armies that can do it, at least in the Huaiyou and left armies, it is rare to find two armies.

He Renlong tilted his neck and moved his body, the one-legged bronze man in his hand was crossed on his shoulders, and he casually picked up a handful of grass roots and threw them in his mouth to chew it, "Deputy envoy, how much effect can this little trick have?"

"It's just a strategy to fatigue the troops, the Pinglu army has just eaten, so a few times in a row, it will make them upset, and then we will surprise again, and their reaction speed should be reduced a lot. ”

Chai Yong also knows that this method can't change the overall situation, but it can weaken the morale of the other party to a certain extent, today's battle is the first battle, and he doesn't expect to break the city, today's task is to kill and injure its elite troops to the greatest extent.

Such continuous fatigue will make the opponent slow to react to the surprise attack, of course, after all, there is such a long distance, but it can prolong the opponent's reaction time by a few points, and it can also reduce some of your own losses, which is enough.

Sure enough, seeing that there was no reaction in the camp of the Huaiyou army, after some waiting, the Pinglu army on the city wall began to eat in rotation again, but before long, the drum beat was high again, more intense than before, and even the shield cart began to move, and the city wall was once again full of people, and there was a rush, and there was still no other action outside the city.

Four times in a row, the Pinglu army on the head of Qingzhou City was also angry and irritable.

Taking a deep breath, the tightly tightened belt on Chai Yong's hand covered the back of his hand and wrist, firmly holding the handle of the Mo knife, the cowhide combat boots under his feet were raised, and he moved his limbs, and He Renlong, who was fifty steps away, also began to refresh his luck and prepare to launch.

As soon as his eyes met with the chess player standing on the mound, Chai Yong's left hand waved suddenly, and the chess player began to wave the small flag knowingly, and the drum behind him suddenly sounded, which was completely different from the previous times.

"Knock! knock! knock!"

He Renlong's eyes flashed on the face of Sun Cheng, the commander of the front battalion under his hands, and he said hesitantly: "Up!"

"Up!" Sun Cheng's face suddenly flashed with a touch of green anger, he pulled the belt around his waist, shook the spear in his hand, and suddenly stepped forward.

The five hundred armor soldiers, as if releasing water from the open gate, hula and quickly moved forward, and long before the five hundred armor soldiers moved, the shield cart in front of them had already begun to advance in an orderly manner.

And in the north, Sima Zhi, the deputy commander of the right battalion of the Third Army of the Huaiyou Left Army, clenched the handan knife in his hand, a round shield tightly held on his left arm, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily: "Follow me!"

It was also a piece of black pressing, which was broken down into five small strips, kept a certain distance, and under the leadership of Sima Zhi, moved forward steadily.

There are 600 steps from the upright place of the shield cart to the city wall, and neither your own catapult nor ballista, nor the opponent's long-range strike force, can exceed this distance limit, which is also the best attack standby area.

The rhythmic footsteps basically maintain a stride length and frequency, but the distance between each other is slowly approaching, because the shield cart in front of it covers a limited area, especially once entering the enemy's ballista and catapult strike zone, it is necessary to curl up as much as possible into the shield cart's protection range to avoid being injured by stone bullets and crossbow arrows.

As the commander of the Second Army of the Pinglu Army, although Yao Meng has not had many opportunities to experience the battle in recent years, he has seen too much of this situation in his 20-year military career, and he also knows very well that this kind of offensive and defensive battle is actually a competition for the consumption of strength and the tenacity of will.

Under normal circumstances, the comparison between the offensive and defensive sides should be that the strength of the attacking side should be three to five times that of the defending side, and three times is the most basic number, and it should be for those small cities at the county level, such as the state city level, generally speaking, five times the number of troops, especially for a male city like Qingzhou.

Therefore, in the battle of Qingzhou, although Yao Meng knew that the Huaiyou Army had gathered nearly 50,000 troops under the city, and also knew that Huaiyou had made sufficient preparations in order to cut off and disperse the strength of the Qingzhou defenders, but even so, Yao Meng did not think that the Huaiyou Army had much advantage now.

Perhaps the most important thing for Huaiyou is their superiority in long-range strike weapons, but Yao Meng does not think that this can change the entire battle situation, and the facts will soon prove that in front of the elite of the Pinglu Ya Army, the siege battle will make all the soldiers of the Huaiyou Army run into heads.

As soon as the drum sounded, Yao Meng, who had risen up, raised his eyes and realized that the situation was wrong at the first time.

First of all, the drumming of the Huaiyou Army this time was different from the previous times, although the sound was not loud, but it contained strength and sonority; second, the shield carts also moved, and unlike the previous times, all of them moved in unison, which was obviously prepared; third, at this time, the sergeants and soldiers were a little tired, and this was the easiest time for the enemy to take advantage of.

Therefore, as soon as he noticed the anomaly, he immediately ordered his guards to order the bell to be struck, which meant that the enemy was attacking.

Fortunately, although they were a little sluggish and sluggish by the enemy's tired tactics, after the bell rang, the soldiers realized that this time it was a real enemy attack, and they all hurried to taste it quickly according to their respective areas, but I was afraid that this meal would not be eaten.

Sure enough, the enemy camp quickly became agitated like a stabbed hornet, and immediately evolved into three attack fronts, accelerated forward, and pounced.

The speed of the shield cart was also much faster than when it covered the people in the morning, and then the shield cart was followed by the second storming cart, the ladder and the hook cart, and of course, the Huaiyou soldiers who swarmed behind it.

The siege has finally begun!

Chai Yong silently followed the right battalion led by Sun Cheng and walked quickly, the towering car shield covered most of the sky in front of him, and the bang sound continued to sound, accompanied by the continuous shaking of the car shield.

Although the shield cart continued to speed up, soon the shield cart was shattered, and the shield fell, and immediately a soldier caught up with him, raising the shield in his hand to build a rudimentary defensive line.

This line of defense is useless against stone bullets and crossbows, but it is effective against ordinary arrows.

When it was only one hundred and fifty paces after all, the speed of the shield cart was even faster under the push of the soldiers, and then the ladder cart, the city rush cart, and the hook cart that followed closely behind also began to speed up, which were all necessary equipment for the siege.

Chai Yong's eyes were indifferent, and the soldiers beside him continued to fall without saying a word, and some staggered and fell, screaming again and again, and some people struggled to get up but couldn't, stone bullets, giant crossbows, and arrows, I was afraid that there were shield cars to cover them, but in the closer and closer distances, they quickly became a densely woven net of death.

However, the Huaiyou Army was not without the power to fight back, and with the stoppage of trebuchets and heavy ballistas began to fire, the long-range strike force of the Huaiyou Army, which was out of range, began to fully demonstrate their great superiority in this regard.

Even if the Pinglu army had the advantage of towering city walls, and had the defense of towers and war tents, it was already at a disadvantage under the continuous blows of trebuchets and heavy ballistas.

By the time the left battalion approached under the city walls, at least nearly 100 of the 500 soldiers had withdrawn from the battlefield, and there were many casualties, but their efforts were not unrewarded.

The power of the stone artillery of the Huaiyou Army has greatly exceeded the trebuchet of the Pinglu Army, whether it is the weight of the stone bullets or the range, it is not comparable to the Pinglu Army, and the power of the heavy ballista is far superior to the large crossbow of the Pinglu Army.

As a result of the shooting, in just two moments, seven catapults and three crossbows were smashed in the head of Qingzhou City.

Once the siege infantry arrived under the city walls, then Qingzhou City would face this most tragic and bloody collision and duel.

Chai Yong took a deep breath, raised his gaze, and raised the Mo knife.

The hook car hook next to him finally firmly hooked the pheasant, which means that there will be Huaiyou sergeants who will soon rush up along this stepped hook car.

To a certain extent, this kind of hook car, which is somewhat similar to the city car, has a special advantage over the city car, that is, it is more flexible and convenient, and the implementation speed is faster.

The hook with a certain elasticity on the hook car has also been improved, unlike the original hook is fixed, with elasticity can be extended in the approach to the city wall, accurately hanging the city wall battlement, and the hook is made of pure steel, quite sharp, once hooked, can not be untied at all, and to use a knife to chop the axe, this pure steel hook is not an ordinary soldier can cut off.

Turning his head to look to the south, the front camp that He Renlong personally pressed against had also arrived under the city wall.

Two city-charging carts, a hook cart, and a ladder cart were all stuck on the battlements of the city wall, and the soldiers began to shout and charge, and the crossbowmen on the city wall also began to adjust their formations, no longer blocking the enemy with long-range shooting, but shooting and killing these Huaiyou soldiers who were already on the city as the primary task.

It's time to get your hands dirty.
