Wan Yu and Wan Ban's two hundred city managers have used city defense trebuchets in the old wharf, and have achieved good results and actual combat experience, Qian Bu knew that he arranged for the Wan family brothers to bring their subordinates to join the city defense sequence, responsible for ten trebuchets, which also has the meaning of bringing old friends to their juniors.

It is not easy for the two armies to shoot and kill the late listening archers, not to mention that Wanban is slightly inferior to the other party, although he has the help of his comrades, but he is still very happy, which greatly enhances his confidence.

Ping, a trebuchet attacking the city was hit by stones, and the two soldiers were hit by the stones before they could dodge, and they fell to the ground suddenly.

Casualties began to appear on both sides, and the attacking side suffered more losses, especially the shield-bearers who rushed ahead and the infantry who held the planks.

"No, the archers will not be able to suppress the defenders, and the casualties of forcibly laying the drawbridge will be large. Zhan Jie looked at it from behind, and his heart ached.

"Why don't you drive the local people to pave the bridge?" he stared at the top floor of the city tower.

"The local people we can catch are not involved in the aristocratic war, and it is against the rules to drive them to attack the city, especially in a transnational war like ours, which can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the Shaodian Kingdom and will give people an excuse to declare war on us. "Le Pi didn't agree,

This war is still going on in the name of Lejia, and it is reasonable to enslave the people, but it is too much to force the people to attack the city, which is forcing people to a dead end.

"Now that they are blocked in this lonely city, what we do will not be known to the outside world, if you don't kill the local people, your troops will die. Gong Jun said coldly.

Le Pi showed a struggling look on his face, hesitated for a while, and said: "No, there are magicians in the city, the magic communication array in Giant Sheep City has been dismantled, it is very likely to be transferred here, what if reinforcements are brought in to expose the Northern Route Army? I can't take this risk." ”

There is always an end to the war between his own country and the Shaodian country, who wants to commit the hatred of the people in the war, and it is difficult to escape the reckoning after the autumn, Le Pi is not afraid of the Ding family's worries, but he is hated by the entire Shaodian country, and the Le family can't afford it.

It is possible to expose the excuse of the Northern Route Army, and no one can say anything, anyway, it was Lejia's private army that died in front.

More and more shield bearers rushed to the drawbridge and gathered together to form a shield wall, and the soldiers behind the wall quickly cut the hemp rope that held the drawbridge frame, and with a bang, the drawbridge frame fell, and the shield wall moved forward little by little.

Two soldiers rushed out with wooden planks, and dozens of sharp arrows flew out from their left and right teeth, nailing them to the front of the drawbridge, and two planks fell to the ground.

The shield wall protruded from the middle, past the two corpses on the ground, and the soldiers dragged back with the corpses' feet, and with a whoosh, three sharp arrows pierced the protruding gaps in the shield wall and shot at an unlucky shieldman.

The defenders on the city walls are also not comfortable, and if they attack with their bodies exposed, they are easy targets for fire, although they are protected by fine armor, but there are always unlucky people who are shot at weak defensive parts, and the archers under the city always keep 2,000 men, and if there are casualties, someone will immediately make up for them, and 2,000 arrows can cover the entire wall.

Boom, a stone smashed accurately against the shield wall, and seven or eight shield bearers fell to the ground, and the others hurriedly retreated, and only after gaining a firm foothold did they come together to form a shield wall again.

Those who fell to the ground were immediately overwhelmed by the attack on the city walls, and never had a chance to get up again.

The flag on the second floor was dancing again, and Xue Chong turned his head and shouted: "The trebuchet is aimed at the archers, don't care about the enemy's trebuchets and infantry!"

Wan Ban showed half of his head and glanced down, then sat with his back against the battlement wall, and shouted: "Eighty meters in front, sixty-five at an elevation, parallel launch!"

There were twenty trebuchets on the front of the wall, facing the open space under the city, where the archers were standing, and a total of twenty-four trebuchets in the two towers.

Twenty-four large stones fell in turn, and the archers under the city were in a commotion. They can't shoot the people who operate the trebuchet, they can only fight their luck not to be hit by stones, such a dense formation, a stone falling hits at least two people, and the opponent's attack can cause dozens of casualties, those archers say that they are not afraid is pretending,

"Magician, go and intercept those stones!" Lepi couldn't sit still on the stage.

Li Fei floated next to Huan Qiao, and when she saw the other party's magic shot, she asked, "Senior brother, they made a move, should we fight back?"

"Don't worry, everyone, the defenders haven't given the order yet, we just need to stop the attack on the defenders. "Huan Qiao is the commander of this team of magicians.

"Oops, the enemy magician has done it. Shaodianluan, who was paying close attention to the battle situation, exclaimed.

"Madame, rest assured, it's just to intercept the trebuchet's attack, their purpose is to consume us, and we can use stones to consume their magic without suffering. Chamboo explained immediately.

"From the other side, the enemy army has a limited number of archers and can't afford to lose, so they let the magicians take action. Liu Yu's eyes were vicious, "The stone reserves in the city can be used for three or four months, and if it doesn't work, we can still demolish the house, we can afford it." ”

On the second floor, Zhong Wei picked up the telescope to observe the enemy's handsome platform, "Hehe, the archers with accurate heads should be about 10,000 people, and more than 200 died in half a morning, how long can you continue to attack the city with this intensity?"

Lang Chun suggested: "Reduce the archers by half, they can stand a little apart, they are not so easy to be hit by the attacks of the city, and a thousand people are enough to threaten the wall." ”

Lepi immediately ordered: "Withdraw half of the archers and maintain a brigade to siege the city." ”

The archers under the city had a better time, but the infantry was miserable, and most of the attacks were turned to the infantry.

The fierce battle continued until noon, and after paying the price of more than 300 infantry, the slab of the North Suspension Bridge was paved, and Shuaitai finally ordered the infantry to retreat.

The attack on the city walls also stopped, allowing the archers under the city to release their arrows rhythmically, and returned to the original siege picture.

"Can we destroy those bridges?" Shaodianluan took the nod from Ding Fen and took a bite gently.

"Yes, but at a cost. In fact, those bridges are just a fulcrum, and they have to build ladder bridges around this fulcrum, and when they put the ladder bridges together, we will find a way to dismantle them. ”

Without waiting for Qian Bu to finish speaking, Ding Kun interjected, "I will dismantle it after a few clicks while they are not paying attention." ”

"Then why did they go to such great lengths to build a bridge?" Shao Dianluan saw that the enemy had killed a lot of people for this bridge.

"Just to consume our defensive forces, they should think that they can afford to consume us, don't look at the enemy killed more than 200 archers and more than 300 infantry in one morning, we also have dozens of casualties, the ratio of the two sides is less than ten to one, in terms of the comparison of troops, we suffer. ”

Liu Yu assisted Shaodian Luan like Ding Kui, but the explanation was a little more detailed.

"What should I do then? Hengfu City must be defended!" Shaodian Luan was a little nervous when he heard this.

"Madame, please rest assured, this is just a data analysis, most of our casualties are seriously wounded, after a period of healing, you can recover, you can grow into a veteran, you can see how wise your decision is.

It won't take long for this war to turn into a national war, when the kingdom's army will come to expel the invaders, Hengfu City will not fight alone, and it is estimated that it will not take half a year for his subordinates to attack us wantonly. "Liu Yu detached himself from one place to look at the entire battle situation.

"In the morning, the defenders in the city were new recruits, quasi-soldiers who had just come out of the training camp, mainly lacking actual combat experience, and the enemy's constant pressure on us was essentially to help us train our troops, and the longer the time, the more veterans we had, but from another point of view, it was a good thing. The old man added.

"Assemble all!" shouted the team leader.

Zhang Xiaoxiao put away his bow and arrows and ran quickly towards the team leader.

"The defense area is handed over to the brothers of the third battalion of the quasi-infantry, now we will go down to the city!" the squad leader waved his hand and led the way down the city.

"Bulls. Zhang Xiaoxiao raised his hand and asked, "Don't you have to take off this armor for them?"

"Don't you see people dressed up? If you want to take it off, you can take it off again when you go down to the city, even if you want to be barefoot!" the team leader scolded with a smile.

The number of fine armor is limited, and the lord's wife stipulates that only quasi-soldiers who go to the city to fight can wear it;

The attack of the Lejia private army was not paused for lunch, and they rotated their fresh forces to fight as in the city, and the exhausted troops withdrew to the rear to rest.

The siege in the afternoon is not much different from the morning, the Lejia private army uses a 20-meter-long wooden ladder to build a suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge is used as a fulcrum to build a fan, which looks like an inverted triangle from the city tower.

Until nightfall, the old man persuaded him: "Madam, go back and rest, Ji Kou will not stop attacking at night, at least for the first three days they will maintain this attack, to test our determination to defend, we are in Hengfu City foolproof." ”

"Don't you say it, they will be like this for the first three days, what if the palace stays on this city tower for three days? It doesn't matter, except for the second elder, the combat power of the palace is the highest, and there is nothing if you don't sleep for three days and three nights. ”

Shaodian Luan knew that she was now the spiritual pillar of Hengfu City, and with her on the city tower, the private army in the territory would be more morale, and the soldiers would have more desire to perform.

Generally, the morale of the attacking side will be better in the first three days of the siege, and after three days, it will be the turn of the defender's morale to rise.

"Mr. Liu, go back and rest, there are still many affairs waiting for you to deal with in the city tomorrow, and you don't need to accompany the palace here. She also persuaded Liu Yu to leave.

"Okay, Madame insists on this, how can the subordinates not be perfected, how can the soldiers below have reason to be afraid of war. Please take care of your wife and retire from your subordinates. ”

Liu Yu is different from Shaodianluan, there is still a lot of work to be done in the city, the people who have migrated from Juyang City need to return to normal life, the ordnance workshop must step up production, and the wasteland south of Hengfu City must continue to be reclaimed, etc., none of which can be neglected.
