Under Qin Feng's teaching, the sergeants learned some combat skills and self-protection skills in the siege battle, and the officers also learned how to reasonably arrange and assign combat tasks, so that the siege battle could be carried out in an orderly manner, and at the same time, they could minimize their own casualties and cause casualties to the defenders with the greatest success.

After the attack of the oil bombs was over, the fire burned out on the city walls, burning a lot of the defenders' supplies, the wood was burned clean, the stones were burned hot, and some of the oil was burned.

Through the observation of the lookout post, the fire on the city wall was about to be extinguished, and this news was reported to Qin Feng, who immediately ordered the siege of the city.

After the general in charge of the siege of the city, Juniper, gave an order, the first wave of attack team of more than 200 people rushed to the city wall, these people rushed to the city wall with a ladder in a group of two people, and one person by each side held a shield to protect, a total of more than 30 ladders, transported to the city wall with 120 people.

They were followed by eighty sword and shield soldiers, who held shields in one hand to block the vital parts in front of them, and rushed quickly towards the city wall with their swords in the other, everyone yelling.

After all, this is a siege, and no one is not afraid, and it is human instinct to roar loudly and courageously to expel fear.

On the run, there are always a few people who are shot by arrows, and there must be people in the defenders who are skilled in arrows.

Until among the more than 120 people in charge of the delivery of the ladder, only a few were shot this time, and all of them were only injured, Qin Feng observed that this time the casualties were much smaller than when the county soldiers rushed under the city wall yesterday.

"Dispersion, decentralization ······" Shi Chang and Duber led the way as they waved their hands and yelled at the sergeants at their sides.

In times of danger, it is the instinct of humans to gather together to avoid disaster, and it is no wonder that after the defenders on the city walls began to shoot arrows, the siege soldiers unknowingly gathered together with each other, and this was especially true that the defenders used bows and arrows on a large scale.

It was only after the officers roared a few times that everyone realized the problem and scattered as they ran.

Finally rushed to the city, the soldiers did not stop, and under the orders of the commander or even the commander, the soldiers climbed the ladder one by one.

Arrows were shot overhead, and the soldiers who climbed had shields above their heads to block them, and continued to climb.

At the same time, the archers who followed, protected by the shield soldiers, also rushed to the city wall in a running way.

The defending archers were so focused on shooting the ladder that they didn't notice that the besieging archers were already within range of their bows.

Impulsive enough to get close enough, the Flame Army archers crouched down one after another, stretched their bows and arrows, and after the commander assigned the task, Duber continued to subdivide the task, and the commanders who received the task further subdivided the battlements that each person was responsible for, and every two archers were responsible for one battlement, and shot arrows whenever a defender came up.

With such a subdivision of tasks, the battle is much more organized, and it will not be chaotic, and it will not waste a lot of arrows.

The arrival of the Flame Army's archers brought unprecedented suppression to the defenders on the city wall, and the Flame Army sergeants on the siege ladder were shot by a large number of Flame Army archers before they could reach the city wall, causing a lot of casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of Yang'an County, who was defending the city, immediately mobilized all the archers to shoot at the archers of the Flame Army under the city, and the two sides restrained each other.

But this gave the Flame Army siege soldiers a chance, and they took advantage of this gap to climb quickly, and quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and several of them had already jumped onto the wall to fight the defenders.

There was immediately a lot of confusion on the city walls.

Under the command of the prefectural commander and the captains, the Flame Army sergeants who rushed to the city wall were finally killed, but the trouble was not solved, and then a steady stream of Flame Army sergeants rushed up.

The commanders and lieutenants who defended the city were very open to adjusting the defensive arrangements, and they ordered to bring a lot of benches from the city, and let the archers stand on the benches and lean against the battlements to shoot at the archers of the Flame Army under the city, and then the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen at the mouth of the city wall, so that they could deal with the Flame Army soldiers who climbed the ladder.

After such adjustments, the siege momentum of the Flame Army was finally curbed, and it was very dangerous just now, and it was almost gained a firm foothold on the city wall by the Flame Army, which also made the defenders afraid.

After an hour of fighting, the Flame Army, as the besieging party, had casualties, but they were not large, which was much smaller than the casualties of the county soldiers when they attacked the city yesterday.

On the other hand, the number of casualties among the defenders was shocking, and most of them were killed by the archers under the city.

"Order, withdraw this batch and replace it with a group of people to continue the siege!" Qin Feng gave the order an hour after the battle, and by this time there had been two successive batches of people.

This time I came to train the troops, and the purpose of training the troops was to minimize the number of casualties, so each group of siege sergeants should not besiege the city for too long, and they should be trained in actual combat, which is also the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness and let the sergeants master combat skills.

The battle lasted all day, and it was not until the beginning of the afternoon that Qin Feng ordered to stop the siege of the city, and ordered to go to the city under the white flag to collect the corpses of the dead soldiers.

In this day's battle, the Flame Army, as the besieging party, actually attacked the city several times, if it was not for the defenders to organize troops in time to drive down the Flame Army that climbed to the top of the city, I am afraid that the city has been breached.

However, this also caused huge casualties among the defenders, and on this day, the casualties of the defenders reached a terrifying 300 men, which was close to one-third of the total strength.

The county order feels that it can't hold on, even if the county soldiers are counted, it can still support for two days at most, and it will definitely be breached.

In the middle of the night, the west gate happened to open, and several people galloped out on fast horses, and soon disappeared into the night.

The sentry of the Flame Army, which was patrolling nearby, heard the movement and immediately rushed to intercept it, but it would not work if it was not intercepted, and it was easy to arouse Li Tong's suspicions.

Of the five messengers sent out by the prefectural commander, four were intercepted and killed, and only one was deliberately released, and the only one who escaped with great difficulty, was wounded and shot in the back.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Feng looked at the intercepted letter for help under the oil lamp, touching his chin and thinking.

Juniper, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask: "General, ······ tomorrow"

Qin Feng put down the letter, "Continue to attack the city!" ”

"No!"

Outside Langling City.

A camp stands against the city wall, this is the 4,000 men and horses brought by Li Tong, it has been two days since he came, and on the day he arrived, he led the troops to provoke in front of Lu Meng's military village, but Lu Meng didn't bird him at all, and hung up the free battle card.

Lu Meng's meaning is very clear, he will not fight in the field, his strength is only half of Li Tong's, and it is not much to defeat head-on, but it is not the same to stick to the military village, although the military village is not as strong as the city, but Li Tong wants to break through it is also a heavy casualty.

Although Li Tong is not a veteran of the battlefield, he is not stupid, and naturally he will not touch the stone with an egg, so he can only temporarily withdraw and set up camp outside Langling City.

In the camp, Li Tong walked around the big tent of the Chinese army, his brows were tightly locked, but his mouth was full of words: "This Wenpin always doesn't show up, and he doesn't answer me, it's really strange to say!" ”

When the Langling County Commander who was standing next to him heard Li Tong say this, his heart moved, and he said, "General Li, doesn't this Wenpin dare to see you?" Or maybe it's an acquaintance? ”
