Chapter 168 Siege Again
"Let me think about it."
Lin Xiaofan held his chin with his hand and recalled the memories from his previous life.
By now, the rolling wood and thunder stones have been almost consumed, and there are only a few thousand bows and arrows left. Apart from Lei Zhenzi, there are no long-range weapons that can be used.
Lei Zhenzi was prepared for the decisive battle, and it is too early to use it now.
If the opponent were to attack the city, they would definitely have to climb up the ladder. Is there any way to prevent the opponent from attacking?
After a long time, an idea flashed in his mind:
"Brother Jianfeng, as of now, there are no long-range weapons that can be used. But I remember that there is a Fancheng in the north of Fangcheng. There is a bamboo forest on the back of Fancheng. If you take some bamboo, sharpen it, and wait for the opponent to climb the ladder. Will it be effective to use this against the enemy?"
Jianfeng frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, the bamboo is much longer than the spear and sword! If the opponent is climbing a ladder, use bamboo to sweep the opponent down directly, or poke the opponent. This will not only slow down the opponent's attack speed, but also reduce the number of casualties on your side.
"Brother Lin, what a great idea! I'll arrange for someone to do it later!"
Jianfeng then looked at Fengsheng and Zhao Yue standing aside, and said:
"General Zhao Yue, take advantage of the night to take some people with you and go outside to get some weapons. Don't get the armor for now, in case the royal power sees the flaws. You must be secretive when you go, and there are sentries. By the way. , bring along the ears of the wind and the clairvoyant."
"Brother Feng, I have a task for you. When the street fighting comes, the scene will be very chaotic. Then you can lead a cavalry and wear the enemy's armor to fight against the enemy, and it will be miraculous."
"Yes."
The two agreed.
"Okay, it's getting late. You all should go back first. There is still a fierce battle to be fought tomorrow."
Jianfeng touched his temple.
These days, he has been worrying about the war, resulting in not getting enough sleep.
Tonight, he had to go and see the tunnel in person, otherwise he would not be at ease. Also, he did not figure out the strategic deployment during street fighting.
Alas, I don’t know when I will get a good night’s sleep.
……
When the morning sun pierced the darkness, the coalition forces surged out from the horizon like a tide and rushed towards Fangcheng.
Today is already the eighth day of the city defense battle.
On Qingzhou City, countless Qingzhou soldiers were waiting in full formation, but their eyes looked slightly tired. After several days of fighting to defend the city, they could no longer lift their arms. Fortunately, a group of new people have joined in the past two days. Otherwise, this city would have been destroyed yesterday.
After eight days, the number of soldiers in Qingzhou City did not decrease. On the contrary, the number reached [-]. The coalition forces suffered a lot during these days of fighting. The [-]-strong army suffered over [-] casualties, and their corpses were strewn all over the ground.
Wang Quan looked at the tall Qingzhou City and took a deep breath. He still underestimated Jianfeng and the strength of the Qingzhou Army.
Due to the huge disparity in numbers, the city gate being breached once, and the fierce attack by the coalition forces, it was able to hold on for eight days.
The people pretended to be troops to scare him away, used ice to stop their troops from advancing, surrounded the city gates with city walls, and filled them with snow to block the roads. All kinds of strange tricks were used in endlessly. If it had been him and the Liang Kingdom's army, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for three days.
He could clearly feel that Jianfeng's art of war was stronger than before, far surpassing his own.
If the Daqian Kingdom hadn't been too corrupt, with Jianfeng's strength, he would never have been beaten by him. Maybe he could have fought back all the way to their country's capital.
But now, Fangcheng's urn city has been completely destroyed, and the road leading to the gate has been cleared.
Today, we will definitely be able to break open the city gate.
Jianfeng, no matter how many tricks you use, it will be useless in the face of the absolute disparity in strength.
Looking at Fang Cheng like a scourge, his heart felt an inexplicable pain, which made him vaguely aware that something was wrong.
Could it be that Jianfeng has some back-ups?
"General Wang, today, the Qingzhou city gate will be broken by our army."
Hu Bo on the side stroked his beard, his face was high-spirited, and he seemed to have put the equation under the screen.
"Oh? Let's see why Counselor Hu is so confident today."
Wang Quan smiled softly and asked.
"According to my observation, there are not many rolling wood and thunder stones in this square city, and there are not many bows and arrows. It will not cause many casualties to our army. According to my estimation, the siege vehicles will be able to open the gate of this square city before the sun sets. "
"Once this square city is broken, the entire Qingzhou will fall into our hands. General Wang, throughout the more than two hundred years of history of the Liang Kingdom, there have been countless commanders on this border, but no one has ever captured the complete Qingzhou. Congratulations. Congratulations!"
Hu Bo opened his mouth to congratulate.
Wang Quan nodded, the worry on his face disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although he no longer cares about high-ranking officials and generous salaries, if he captures Qingzhou City, he will be able to leave his name in history.
As for the uneasiness in his heart, it was probably because he was frightened by Jian Feng.
"Even so, you still can't be careless. After all, Jianfeng is full of tricks."
Wang Quan opened his mouth to remind.
"General, why don't you let me be the charging general and give me a chance to make up for my mistakes! In the past eight days, I haven't had a good fight."
Liu Zhi spoke eagerly.
Since that defeat, the royal power no longer allowed him to be the leader. These days, he is really depressed.
Looking at Liu Zhi who was full of fighting spirit, Wang Quan thought for a moment and then nodded.
Now, although Liu Zhi has been demoted one level, his combat prowess and military prestige are still there. There is nothing wrong with being a charge general. Although he was a bit reckless, now it was a siege battle, so being reckless was not a bad thing.
"Okay, then I'll give you a chance. If you perform well, you'll be reinstated. If you don't perform well, what do you think you should do?"
"If the general doesn't behave well, then I'll bring him up and see you!"
Liu Zhi spoke excitedly.
"Okay, then I'll give you this chance!"
"The last general takes orders!"
Liu Zhi bent down slightly and accepted the order, then drew out his long sword and pointed it directly at Fang Cheng.
"Listen to my order and charge with me!"
Liu Zhi roared, and his voice spread throughout the countryside.
The first few rows of shield soldiers walked out first, and the siege vehicles behind them slowly moved forward. Countless shield soldiers lined up around them for protection.
The siege of the city soon began.
The ladders were arranged at a time, and many soldiers grabbed the ladders and climbed towards the top of the tower. Although their main purpose in this battle is to open the city gate so that soldiers can attack the tower, they can restrain the Qingzhou Army and reduce the deterrent they bring to the siege vehicles.
The siege engines slammed into the city gates violently, each time accompanied by a deafening collision.
A piece of rolling wood was lifted up by the soldiers on several towers and suddenly thrown down, hitting the siege vehicle below.
"bump!"
