In the cold weapon war, there is nothing more difficult than attacking the city, and it is a last resort.

Even if you want to fight, you will often choose to surprise and sneak attack, or spend a long time besieging the city.

If you can only attack hard, you must also be well prepared, build equipment, dig ditches and pile up earth, and destroy the fortifications on the outskirts of the city before you can officially attack.

This series of processes is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not uncommon for it to take months.

A strong attack and a quick attack must be the next policy among the next strategies.

This is completely a matter of grinding with life, and the success rate is extremely low, usually more than a third of the dead and wounded are not able to capture the city.

However, Shi Lihe had no choice at the moment, so he could only attack hard.

Fortunately, although the Buddha Oath City is the capital of a country, it is far worse than the Central Plains City in all aspects.

The walls were not high, they were not strong, and the defenses were rudimentary, and there was no moat.

The city has just undergone riots and coups, and the morale of the people is probably very problematic, and there are inevitably people with different hearts in the dark center, and they are not the same as the top and bottom.

Therefore, the tactics adopted by Sharihali are different from those of a general siege.

He deployed troops in all four directions, but the three directions in the northeast, east and west were relatively thin, and the task was only to blockade and intercept, mainly to prevent external materials from entering the city.

The only attack was still on the south gate wall.

Anyway, Shi Lihe can only attack one side, but he doesn't dare to defend only one side.

Imagine that there were defenders on all four walls, but only the south side was attacked, and the other three were unharmed.

The soldiers in the south are easily unbalanced, and they will have a negative attitude and a lack of determination to fight.

However, the number of troops that can be placed on the city walls is limited, and under the most concentrated and fierce attacks of your own side, the casualties will be unbearable for the defenders to bear, or even collapse.

In this way, the head of the city can only rotate troops frequently, and if there are too many changes, there will always be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

All in all, after two days of hasty preparations, the siege began.

On the first day, Shi Lihali gave the defenders a dismount, concentrated 20,000 troops, and carried out a long-range attack on the head of the city for a whole day.

The trebuchet kept smashing stones, the archers covered and shot, and the elephants approached and threw their spears......

These three axes caused more than 2,000 casualties to the city in just one hour, and even the main general was killed.

After changing a wave of troops, they learned a little smarter, and the soldiers knew to stay behind the cover as much as possible, and only then fight back if they were empty.

This lasted a little longer, but after a long time, the soldiers were less able to bear casualties.

After more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded, soldiers began to flee to the city despite orders.

So in the afternoon, it had to be changed again.

The defenders held out until the sun went down, but they were also greatly damaged and demoralized, and they could not fight again in a short time.

It is estimated that the besieging side paid just over 700 casualties in exchange for nearly 5,000 casualties for the defenders.

Such a fierce style of play, although the momentum is played out, the effect is not bad, but it can't last.

The army under Shi Li Hali is not a perpetual motion machine, and the physical strength consumed will always take time to recover.

So the next day, Shi Lihali only sent 5,000 regular troops to fight, but he also captured tens of thousands of untouchables.

The 5,000 Liberation Army, as the overseers, drove all the untouchables to the city wall.

Once at the base of the wall, the untouchables had to dig the wall with their own tools and tools.

The defenders didn't want to attack the untouchables, not because they were merciful, but because they felt that they were not only wasting their weapons, but also risking their own lives.

But you can't let the untouchables dig into the corners, right?

When the defenders obstruct and fight the untouchables, they will have to bear the arrows and stones of the liberation army.

By the time the sun set down, the casualties of the 5,000 Liberation Army were very small, but more than half of the untouchables did not return alive, and the defenders probably suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

On the third day, the untouchables who had escaped the day before and the newly added ones once again embarked on the road of death.

On the fourth day, Yi

However, women and children began to appear in the ranks of the untouchables.

On the fifth day, the ranks of the untouchables were even larger, but most of them were old and weak, women and children......

And this day the attack continued into the night.

So far, the nearly 70,000 untouchables who can be caught in the vicinity have all been consumed, except for the stronger ones who can be used for coolies.

It is probably under the caste system that these lowly people will not resist death at all.

Under the city walls, there were layers of corpses piled up, and even the scavenging crows did not dare to settle down.

All this is just a prelude to the pear.

From the sixth day onwards, the official siege mode was launched.

Or the stone thrower opened the show first, and then, under the cover of the archers, rushed the carts, shields, ladders, and elephant soldiers.

The battle heated up in an instant, and the number of casualties among soldiers on both sides skyrocketed.

In the afternoon, three or four hundred Liberation troops successfully climbed the city.

Although it was finally wiped out by the new force that rushed in, it brought great excitement to Shi Li Hali and the army under his command.

Many people thought that as long as they worked harder, the next round of attacks would be able to break the city.

As a result, such a siege mode lasted for three days, and the crumbling city defense was still crumbling but not falling.

Looking at Shi Lihe Pear, who was counting the battle losses under the lamp, there was a slight retreat in his heart.

Before and after, he gathered nearly 50,000 troops and took out all his belongings, but now he has suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and he is almost at the limit of his bearing.

Moreover, almost all the troops had gone through high-intensity fighting, and the soldiers were quite tired.

Can you still fight?

Do you want to pause the offensive and rest for a few days?

There was hesitation swirling in Shi Li's mind, but there was still a strong unwillingness.

You can't give up, otherwise you will lose so many troops and consume so many reserves, and it will be in vain.

Moreover, their own family will also enter a period of weakness, and it will be difficult to recover if it cannot be replenished by the sea as before.

When Bao Tuo Bald integrated the northern tribes, and then transferred back the border troops guarding against Annan, his own family would be completely unable to resist.

Besides, the losses in the city should be greater than their own, and they may not be able to bear it.

Now the competition is a persistence!

Yes, three more days!

Shi Li Li Li stared at the flickering candle flame and strengthened her heart.

At this moment, the bald flower in the palace was frowning.

"This dog thief is really crazy, how can anyone like him who doesn't care about his money in a war!?"

The number of troops in his hands is nearly 60,000.

But among them, there are 8,000 original defenders, who are either veterans or cunning and cowardly women, and they have also consumed more than half of them these days.

Nearly 7,000 pirates, although fierce and capable of fighting, are all powerless and unable to afford to be early.

Every time they are allowed to fight, they must be rewarded with a lot of rewards, and they are urged three times and four times.

He also spared his life in the fight, and he knew how to save himself the most, but he only suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

The navy was much more heroic, but because of the lack of armor, it was bound to be wounded by an arrow, and now less than 7,000 of the 9,000 people remained, and most of them were wounded.

Many minor injuries do not seem to affect the fighting, but they can easily deteriorate if they are not treated properly.

As for these doctors in the city, the quality is not good, and the quantity is far from enough.

As for the original nearly 20,000 soldiers directly under the government, there are 3,000 personal guards who cannot be easily used, and 3,000 have to guard important places such as the warehouse of the government office.

Then more than 1,000 were lost on the night of the riot, and more than 3,000 were lost in the battle in the past few days, and less than 8,000 could barely be used.

In the end, there were more than 10,000 people under the command of Pansha.

Let's not talk about it, after withstanding the night of the release of Lihali to seize the city, Pansha reported nearly 3,000 casualties, which is ultimately a life-saving credit, so I can only admit it.

But after only one round of fighting, he said that the casualties were huge, and he refused to fight again.

Thinking that I have to rely on Pansha to balance those pirates

and do not persecute too much.

With such a calculation, it can still be used for urban defense operations, and if you are optimistic, there are more than 20,000, and they are all tired troops.

In addition, the forcibly recruited people also suffered six or seven thousand casualties, and the people are already extremely dissatisfied, who knows when there will be a big disturbance.

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became, and he beat his forehead and sighed, "It's also strange, my brother Wang has been here for so many days, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Wang Ge on the side lifted his eyelids and said, "Thinking about it, it is estimated that the method used by the Shili Pear, and the king also intends to watch the snipe and the clam fight, so he is still watching the situation, if he persists for a few more days, when the Shili Lili pear shows fatigue, probably the king will rush up and beat the water dog."

"It's easy to say, if it goes on like this, it won't be able to hold on for a few days." Bao off the bald flower grumpy.

Wang Ge said unhurriedly, "That's not necessarily."

"Not necessarily! With this little soldier, it didn't take more than three days, and they were all gone, how can Jaya deal with it when he comes?"

Bao Bald had a bit of a big temper, and then he seemed to react and said in surprise, "Could it be that Mr. Cheng has a way to conjure up troops?"

Wang Ge smiled lightly, "I'm not an immortal below, how can I send troops out of thin air? Well, however, there is a way to put together a working army."

"What's the idea? Please give me advice quickly."

Bao Bao Bald Flower became excited, and looked at Wang Ge like a prostitute saw a peerless top brand.

"Cough..." Wang Ge was furious in his heart, so he had to use the action of fake cough to avoid this burning gaze.

"The method is not complicated, those high-ranking officials and nobles in the city, the children of the brave and the private soldiers, all gathered, how can there be six or seven thousand, right?"

Hearing this, Bao Bao Bald Flower immediately opened his mind, "Wonderful! Mr. is worthy of being the ovary in the world, Kong Ming is reborn! This time, not only do they have a group of new forces, but they can also let those people see that people of noble birth have fought bloodily, what can they complain about!?"

If you have a clever plan, you will do it.

Bao Bald summoned the ministers into the palace overnight and arranged the matter.

First of all, he 'persuaded people with reason) and persuaded the ministers to take the initiative to hand over their own manpower, preferably with some money and food.

Then he arranged for the ministers to go to other rich and noble families in the city to 'reconcile their fates', and Bao Bao Bald did not hesitate to go out in person to find those families of the royal family.

Of course, this kind of work requires the help of heavily armed sergeants.

This night, there was a lot of trouble for a long time......
