Chapter 942: Siege

Day 3. As the sky dawned, the Warlords drove the Rolloros and began to attack the city.

This is the old routine of the Mongols, since the time of Genghis Khan, they used the enslaved people to consume the enemy's army, waiting for the enemy to show their flaws, and then pounced on them like hungry wolves to grab the fruits of victory.

Although the afterglow of the ancestors is no longer there, the stinky problem of not treating outsiders as human beings has not changed at all.

As is customary, it is still the Puding Department that takes the lead. This is to help them recapture the fortress, if they don't go first, who will go first?

Today's dispatch is young and middle-aged, the siege is not to fill the trenches, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are not useful at all, and the ladder is erected, they may not be able to climb up......

Second, how can there be so many old, weak, sick and disabled in this era? It was already consumed yesterday.

The morning breeze blew through Pingdingshan, but it couldn't blow away the strong smell of blood.

The young men of the Puding Department carried the planks and slowly approached the Puding Fort.

At the edge of the trench under the fort, the dense corpses still maintained their previous posture.

It's just that after a night, those fresh dead corpses turned into blue-gray zombies, and their faces became more and more hideous. There are also countless crows and birds of prey flying from the mountains and forests, enjoying this rare feast of blood food.

That's not true. Because less than a month ago, they had already enjoyed it once......

Some vomited on the spot, but most of the soldiers were numb, because they would soon become one of the many corpses, and there was no need to overreact.

They walked through the battlefield full of dead bodies with wooden planks to the edge of the trench, and put the planks on the passage that had been filled in yesterday, and were knocked down by the whistling javelins......

The native soldiers behind them carried the ladder, screamed and stepped on the planks, rushed through the trench, and tried to put the ladder up the fort wall.

Of course, the defenders of the fort could not let the enemy get their wish, and they reached out with their long forks and tried their best to block the enemy's ladder from landing on the fort wall.

The advantages of the defending side are reflected in all aspects, and this time is no exception. The defenders can put their forks on the stacks of arrows, which is very labor-saving with support.

The besieging side can only hold the ladder high in the void, and has to overcome the weight of the ladder itself, which is unstable in itself.

What's even more tragic is that there are rocks falling overhead. Planks that can withstand spears are useless when they meet stones.

A stone the size of a watermelon was thrown from the castle wall, directly smashing the wooden plank on their heads, and the arm holding the wooden board was also directly broken.

But to say that the planks are completely useless, those native soldiers who were directly smashed and confused will probably not agree.

The native soldiers of Shuidong and Shuixi who defended the city also recognized that it was the people of the Puding Department who attacked the city, and they smashed it very hard. Because that's how the other party smashed them before.

Feng Shui takes turns, and it is time for the people of the Puding Department to taste the despair of attacking the city.

But the damage with stones was still small, and they wanted to use alletshire more, but the Ming soldiers did not allow it. The reason is that the amount of sassal wood is limited, and if you throw it away, you can't get it back, and the good steel has to be used on the blade.

As a result, the morning was lively and lively, and there was a lot of movement, but the Puding Department did not even set up the ladder on the fort wall, and when it heard the gong of the guards, it left hundreds of corpses and withdrew...... But in terms of siege warfare, this intensity is really not enough.

The biting pillar, who had been staring at the battlefield, was not worried, and said to the generals beside him: "The defenders are all native soldiers from the east and west of the water, at best, there are a few Ming troops mixed in the middle, which is useless." ”

"Yes, the barbarian soldiers know how to defend the city, and as soon as the siege force is large, they will be in a hurry and full of flaws." A group of Mongolian generals echoed one after another, ignoring the face of the barbarian Tusi on the side.

"Let everyone have a full meal at noon, and attack the city on all sides at the same time in the afternoon." Biting the pillar, he ordered in a deep voice: "Each of the four families is responsible for a city wall, day and night!" ”

Niu Qi of the Puding Department must have nothing to say, but Dangxiong and Mu Nai of the Pu'an and Luoshan tribes were unwilling, they were originally here to help, but they ended up taking on half of the siege task. And the 20,000 yuan army only attacked one city wall, which is also too unfair.

Although he is afraid of obscenity and does not dare to complain, it is certain that he will not be happy.

"The one who breaks the city first will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars!" But it only took one sentence to settle them.

King Liang was able to dominate the southwest for more than ten years with the remnants of the dead country, relying on his wealth. He had two pillars of his economy, the tea and horse trade and the Yunnan copper, each of which earned millions of yuan. He was willing to spend money, so that he could maintain such a large army and buy many tribes in Yunnan.

Money can make ghosts push ghosts, and more money can make ghosts push ghosts. For the sake of the reward, Dangxiong and Muno decided to be a brave man and received the order to siege the city.

Only then did he explain: "At the time of survival, how could Ben Shuai deliberately preserve his strength? But I have to send a large army to block the entrance to the canyon and guard against reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, so I can't all be engaged in the siege. Otherwise, as soon as the Ming army arrives, we will be dumplings! ”

"Will the Ming army really come?" Dangxiong and Muno were a little unbelievable.

Biting Zhu understands their mood very well, because he always feels that the Ming army's attack is very far away, but the facts are the facts, not what you think will happen.

"Do you know why Ai Cui and Song Qin died? Because they wanted to be the vanguard of the Ming army and open the way to Yunnan. Biting the pillar and said in a deep voice:

"If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army was about to arrive, would Ben Shuai be in such a hurry to recover Puding Fort?"

The two nodded silently, looking at the dead bodies scattered all over the hill on the flat-topped mountain, and felt that their questions were really redundant.

"I will give each of you five hundred archers to cover your siege." Biting the pillar and said slowly.

The Yuan army is no longer the Mongolian soldiers who were skilled in arching and horses. In fact, the Mongol soldiers under the command of King Liang and the Semu soldiers were less than 20%, and most of them were barbarian soldiers of various ethnic groups recruited from Yunnan, as well as mercenaries hired from Burma and Tibet.

There were only 2,000 archers under the pillar, and he gave up for victory.

As soon as Xiong and Muno heard that there was an archer covering, their confidence doubled, and they immediately said loudly that they would go all out and fight for the first credit!

~~

At the end of the day, the soldiers who had eaten lunch were resting under the arrow stacks.

Suddenly, a sharp alarm whistle sounded at the head of the city, which was the alarm of the enemy starting to attack the city!

The defenders hurriedly turned around and looked up, only to see that the enemy troops besieging the city were densely packed in all directions, and this time there were regular Yuan troops wearing blue-black military uniforms, black tassels, and armor, which also joined the siege team.

Don't look at the fact that they have been fighting for two days, they have never seen such a huge formation, and they all know at a glance that the Yuan army is going to move seriously.

The native soldiers were talking a lot, and suddenly a native soldier standing on the arrow stack and looking out, covered his face and screamed, and fell down on his back.

When they saw it, a long arrow was stuck in the soldier's chest......

"Lanceo arrows! Mongolian shooter! Immediately, a Ming soldier recognized the owner of the arrow.
