Chapter 274: Flesh and Blood Mill
"Arrow proof!"
Jiao Shan's chant echoed across the southern city wall.
Everyone on the city wall, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the city guards and the box army, or the militia of the Minfu team and the Quadruple Gang, they all skillfully picked up pieces of shields and blocked them overhead.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
A dense rain of arrows fell on the city, but it did not cause a few screams.
Today is the third day of the siege of the Northern Barbarian army.
The smell of blood and smoke filled the air.
The corpses piled up under the city walls were like stacks of wheat straw after the autumn harvest.
Three days.
The Northern Barbarians threw fourteen or five thousand corpses at the four gates.
AllBright also threw more than 2,000 corpses outside the city...... They are all warriors who climbed the northern barbarians who climbed to the top of the city with their arms, and jumped off the city wall and died together!
There is no so-called bullshit tacit understanding that "the two sides collect their own bodies and do not disturb each other".
As long as the northern barbarians dared to approach the city wall, the defenders of the city wall would not hesitate to throw down a large amount of debris and stone them to death.
In the same way, the AllHeavens side will not risk being attacked by the Northern Barbarians and open the city gate to collect the corpses.
Both sides left their corpses to decompose quietly under the city.
War, there is no humanitarianism!
Fortunately, the early spring of AllHeavens was not too warm, otherwise, these corpses would be enough for 100,000 people in AllHeavens to drink a pot.
But even so, Zhang Chu gave orders many times, dumped fire oil, and while forcing back the Northern Barbarian army besieging the city, he threw firewood and burned the corpses under the city.
Many wooden houses in the city have been reduced to ruins as a result.
The smell of smoke and fire in the air is also due to this.
But every time the old corpse has not been burned, the new corpse has been laid out.
The offensive of the Northern Barbarians has always been fierce.
It seems to be in a hurry to capture AllAble.
But the defense lines of the city gates, which seemed to be crumbling and seemed to collapse if they had one more round of attacks, withstood their fierce attacks round after round.
The Northern Barbarians are undoubtedly tough and tenacious.
They have been able to smash the Yongming Pass in northern Xinjiang for decades, which is very revealing.
Therefore, even if the Jintianfu blocked their three-day strong attack and the 20,000 troops that were neatly organized when they came, there were only less than 5,000 left, and they did not have the situation of "one blow and then three times exhausted" that Zhang Chu had predicted before.
They relied on slashing and killing the war horses left behind by Pao Ze to satisfy their hunger, and attacked Jintian Mansion again and again.
Hit during the day!
Fight at night!
They are like wolves on the grassland, tenacious and ferocious, chasing their prey for days and miles!
Under the persecution of life and death, the defenders of AllHeaven's Mansion also broke out with amazing tenacity!
After three days of storming, the defenders of the city gates had dropped to less than 1,000...... This is still on the basis of Zhang Chu filling in the old foundation of his Quadruple Gang into the Four City Gates.
This bit of manpower is naturally endless.
They ate on the city walls.
Lived also in the city walls.
gritted his teeth and withstood round after round of attacks by the Northern Barbarians.
The former newcomer quickly transformed into a veteran oilman.
They can sleep with their clothes one second, and the next second when the sound of killing starts, they immediately open their bloodshot eyes, grab knives and guns, and prepare to kill.
They are already elite!
Elite as steel!
The city guards, the Xiang army, the Minfu team, and the Quadruple Gang, a total of 13,000 strong men, filled in the flesh and blood mill of Jintianfu, and finally got 4,000 elites!
Their growth is visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Chu was more tired than them.
He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights.
He grew up, and these four thousand elites have personally felt it.
He is the county soldier Cao and the leader of the Quadruple Gang.
The highest commander of these four thousand.
He has to be in charge of the whole battle!
Although, as the highest-ranking official of the current Jintian Mansion, Shi Anzai can completely take over the command of this Jintian Mansion's offensive and defensive battle with one order.
But instead of doing this, Shi Anzai tried his best to cooperate with Zhang Chu's decision-making and became a senior thug with peace of mind.
Zhang Chu didn't know why Shi Anzai entrusted such a big battle situation to him as a battlefield newcomer.
He didn't want to know either.
He just wanted to defend Alla.
Kill as many Northern Barbarians as you can.
As a result, dozens of heralds shuttled back and forth at the city gates, reporting the real-time battle situation to him.
This includes, but is not limited to, the number of enemies, your own casualties, the consumption of arrows, the consumption of baggage, etc.
A piece of data converged into his hands, and a huge sand table was slowly outlined in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
On the first day, he did not interfere in any command of Jiao Shan, the guard of the South City Gate.
Early the next morning, he began to try to assist Jiao Shan in commanding and dispatching.
At noon the next day, he began to take over the command and dispatch of the South City Gate.
In the early morning of the third day, he was already able to convey the order to a certain hundred households in the four major city gates to make minor tactical adjustments.
This is certainly not an inscrutable art of war.
He hadn't learned the art of war, and it was too late for him to do so.
This is just a very superficial use of big data.
Generally speaking, in siege warfare, the defender has a tactical advantage.
The fifteen-zhang high city wall can kill people if an egg is thrown!
The besieging side, on the other hand, occupies a strategic advantage.
A city cannot have only one gate, and the defenders must disperse their limited forces to all the gates for defense.
The besieging party, on the other hand, is free to choose which gate to storm with superior forces.
With the current situation of each city gate, if Zhang Chu, the county soldier who coordinates the overall situation, does not make adjustments, the 2,000 Northern Barbarian army may break through a city gate.
As long as you enter the city, those three Northern Barbarian Qi Sea giants alone are enough to slaughter the city!
But when the war sand table of the Jintianfu offensive and defensive battles was formed in Zhang Chu's mind, the movement of the Northern Barbarian army became as intuitive and obvious as the balance moved.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the commander of the Northern Barbarian Army is not a famous general who is well versed in the art of war.
The purpose of the Northern Barbarian Commander's attack was always so obvious and straightforward.
Zhang Chu only needed to slightly synthesize the attack strength of the four city gates, and he could easily analyze which city gate he would shift the focus of his attack.
It's like playing chess.
Beginners, if they want to eat the opponent's car and horse artillery, they will always use their own car and horse artillery to chase the opponent's car and horse artillery, and the attack intention is clear at a glance.
The purpose of the attack has been discovered, and the rest is simple.
Whichever city gate the Northern Barbarians sent troops to, Zhang Chu followed to which gate to increase troops.
In short, it has always maintained the balance of forces on both sides, turning their superior forces into a war of attrition with equal strength.
Anyway, AllBright has a good city wall, so it will definitely not lose.
......
A siege battle has reached this point, and both sides are actually close to the limit.
It's like a spring stretched to the extreme.
Whoever can't hold back first, who breaks first!
