As judged before, Jinguancheng is indeed not easy to fight.

A round of all-round offensive went up, and the siege on three sides failed to get any bargain, but the damage was not small, and the first round of offensive could only be stopped and retreated, and the follow-up troops and horses made up.

Sun Ning, who was under the command of the Chinese army, looked at the current situation, but did not react too much, and only gave an order: "Good students to diagnose and treat injured soldiers." Also, the soldiers and horses on the west side will be withdrawn first, and they will focus on the southeast side, and this side will be bombarded with flying stones, and see if they can destroy the axe for me! ”

With so many soldiers and horses already invested, and it is the first battle, it is naturally impossible to give up and withdraw from the army after the slightest setback, which will greatly affect the morale of the whole army.

Therefore, even though he knew that continuing the strong attack would cause more casualties, Sun Ning had to ruthlessly order and fill it with human lives.

This is the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army.

In his eyes now, the hundreds and thousands of soldiers and horses that may fall under the city at any time are no longer living people, but just tools for breaking the city one by one.

But he still made adjustments according to the current situation, and planned to destroy the great threat of the city's giant axe first, and then take the next step.

The order was issued, and the sound of gold in the western formation began, and the soldiers and horses who could not hold on quickly retreated.

Behind them, the defenders, who were in high spirits, shouted and rained down countless arrows on their backs, and they really shot twenty or thirty people, and provoked them to cheer.

It's just that the defenders at the head of the city didn't have to be proud for long, and after this part of the soldiers and horses withdrew from the land of a stone's throw away, dozens of stone throwers that had not dared to move again because the army was in front of them moved again.

With the shouts of the surrounding commanders, the net bag suddenly lifted up, and threw the refilled pieces, grinding discs, and even huge stones the size of the table, into the air, crossed arcs, and blasted towards the city again.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing the stone Mount Tai pressing on the top, many generals had already shouted in shock, and they threw themselves into the corners one after another, shrinking to hide.

But after all, there are still some people who are slow to react, screaming, watching the boulders fall down, while smashing the stone chips at the head of the city, some of them are directly smashed into the crowd, smashing them into a puddle of flesh and blood.

That's not all, before the other soldiers who escaped the catastrophe could calm down, the whistling sound started again.

This time it fell back is a more scattered small stone, maybe it doesn't look like the previous boulders that hit the city and smashed a piece of the city to the collapse of the city, but the lethality is still amazing, hitting dozens of people at once, making the city scream again.

And all this was just the beginning, because soon, someone at the head of the West Gate saw that there were many more and more stone throwing trucks among the enemy troops in front, all of which were supported from other directions.

Originally, they only had to face more than 30 stone throwers, but in the blink of an eye, this number doubled to 100 vehicles, covering almost the entire western city wall of Jinguan City.

And then the stones that these stone throwers flew up were mostly terrifying boulders, and they bombarded towards the edge of the city, and smashed and collapsed a large area of the city wall battlements, and even a few flying stones directly hit the two arrow towers, killing more than 100 people who were hiding in them.

The others could only huddle in one corner after another, and there was nothing they could do.

Some of those who are lucky can still put a shield, and those who are unlucky can only hold their heads in their hands, and then chant the Buddha and pray to God, hoping that God will bless their families from being affected by stones.

Although Tang Duo was in the safety of the rear and was not affected too much, he also looked nervous at this time, for fear that this wave of wild bombardment would completely collapse the defense line of Xicheng and everyone would flee.

Therefore, while beckoning his team of supervisors to prepare for murder, he rushed back and forth quickly, shouting: "Don't panic, everyone, there are only a few stones outside the city, and our city is strong enough, they can't use this method to destroy the entire section of the city wall......

"As long as they survive this section, they won't be able to do anything!"

"Why do you think the officers and soldiers are so concentrated on all the stone throwers to attack me? They should know that it's useless. ”

The brother next to him couldn't help but mumble while following closely.

Tang Duo shouted a few more words, and then frowned: "Maybe it's for revenge, or to use this intimidation to disturb our army's ......."

"But in that case, they should have thrown the stones higher, instead of smashing them on the edge of the walls."

"Huh?" After this reminder, Tang Duo saw something, and then his eyes lit up, and he had already thought of the problem, "They are planning to destroy our reincarnation axe!" Scold...... This is also too naïve, how can the defensive weapon carefully set up by my Tang Sect be destroyed like this? ”

He did have the confidence to say this, because this defensive weapon was pulled by an arm-thick steel cable, and it also penetrated deep into the wall several feet thick.

Unless the stone actually knocks down the entire wall, the axe will be useless.

But when the time comes, the army can enter the city directly, so why bother destroying such a weapon to defend the city?

Moreover, he was also very right about one more point - after a round of bombardment, the city was in ruins, but the stones of the official and military reserves outside the city were finally exhausted.

The soldiers did not move for many days before, and the soldiers did carry countless stones from dozens of miles around.

But this number of stones was completely used up before dark under the unbridled madness of flying stones, especially the large stones, which were not a single one.

And the reincarnation axe, which they were focusing on, was still hanging firmly at the head of the city, as if laughing at their incompetence.

At the same time, the war on the southeast and southeast sides also hit a wall and a wall, although there was a certain amount of damage to the enemy, but the damage itself was even greater.

At the end of the day, thousands of people died on the battlefield alone, and the wounded were several times greater.

When the Central Military Department finally sounded the sound of the call to collect the troops, all the soldiers and horses withdrew almost as quickly as they fled, and dozens of people were lost to the enemy's random arrows.

The storming of Jinguan City on the first day was undoubtedly a great failure for the entire army, and it also caused the morale of the originally quite high morale to plummet, and all the battalions were gloomy and miserable.

The barbarians, in particular, were even more listless, and even began to gather in private, saying something that might as well go back.

After all, for these barbarian warriors who are not good at attacking cities, such a fact of war is too draining their fighting spirit, and they can't see hope......

It seems that just a one-day battle has plunged the officers and troops into a great crisis.
