Chapter 641 Mature Tactics
The five hundred soldiers headed by Bai Tu were basically soldiers who defended the country, and they were the soldiers who fought until the last moment and survived in that war. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the gold content inside.
Although he was later reduced to a hard slave due to the defeat of the Wei Kingdom, he was unable to train and was malnourished due to long-term lack of food.
But after more than two months of adjustments, it has still formed considerable combat power.
At the same time, more importantly, they have far more experience in defending the city than the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, especially when facing this opponent.
Looking at the ladders being put up one after another, their minds suddenly flashed back to the last battle in which they defended the royal capital. Everyone's eyes were red, and the flame of revenge was burning in their chests!
The sword fell, and Bai Tu struck out quickly and harshly. While knocking down an enemy soldier who was trying to climb up the wall, he moved toward the next place without stopping.
In a city defense battle, once the wall is captured by the enemy, the city will most likely not be able to be defended.
The five hundred soldiers headed by Bai Tu knew this in their hearts, and at this moment, a bloody battle started directly on the wall.
During this process, Zhou Xu had already used his 'flying stone attack' to repel the siege tower, forming a large-scale invasion of troops.
After that, the enemy's siege soldiers could only climb up one by one, which was enough to greatly reduce the pressure on the wall.
The siege forces on the opposite side could not attack all at once. According to the garrison strength in Huangsha City, the situation at the top of the wall gradually stabilized.
During this process, Long Zhantian, as the enemy general, was undoubtedly observing the situation here throughout the process.
Although it was not clear, I estimated the time and saw that the wall of Huangsha City could not be attacked for a long time, so I knew that the offensive might have been frustrated.
Before advancing, he was afraid of the power of the three-bow crossbow and asked the large troops to avoid the direction of the city gate, but this did not mean that they gave up capturing the city gate.
At this time, the troops escorting the battering ram had successfully arrived at the bottom of the city wall, and ten meters further to the side was the city gate.
After confirming this, Long Zhantian directly ordered someone to send a signal, instructing the siege troops to use a battering ram to break the door.
After receiving the order, although the soldiers of the siege force were still wary of the power of the three-bow crossbow, their army also had a mountain of military orders. Disobedience was also a dead end, so it was better to fight.
With this thought in mind, the siege troops suddenly pushed the siege ram and slammed into the gate of Huangsha City with a 'dong' sound.
The city gate would not be knocked open directly at once, but it would also put pressure on the defending troops inside the city gate.
"What should we do? Open the city gate and use the three-bow bed crossbow to blow them up?!"
The siege hammer outside hit the city gate, making muffled sounds one after another. That thing is not a vegetarian. The door can hold up once or twice, but it cannot hold up forever.
"No! You can't open the city gate!"
Noticing the movement here, Silk, who originally ran to act as an archer, hurried over to stabilize the situation.
“The city gate is heavy. When it opens and closes, the speed is not that fast. At this moment, the opposite battering ram is blocked outside. In this case, once the city gate is opened, the opposite battering ram will be targeted. Opportunities come in, and when the time comes, the city gate will not be able to be closed, not to mention that there will definitely be a large number of enemy soldiers waiting outside. "The situation now is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, they dared to open the city gate and let San Gong. The bed crossbow fired because the enemy troops were still far away and they had enough time to close the city gate after the attack was over.
But now the enemy's troops and battering ram are outside, open the city gate at this time? Isn't that seeking death?
When Silk said this, the soldiers below who were responsible for guarding the city gate passage suddenly realized the problem inside, and their faces became ugly for a while.
"Lieutenant Hilke, what should we do now?"
To be honest, Hilke can't think of a good way now. It really doesn't work. The worst thing is that after the city gate is breached, They blocked the city gate passage and fought a tough battle with the other side.
If it were the previous Hilke, he would definitely have done this.
But since he became the captain of their king's personal guard, he has mastered a new skill, that is, when in doubt, go to the king!
"Inform the king of the situation here and go quickly!"
Hearing the urging, the soldiers who reacted ran away and rushed towards the wall.
The sound on this battlefield is noisy, and the movement is even louder. For Zhou Xu, who is on top of the wall, the actions below are completely stuck in the blind spot of his vision, unless he gets out Look at the wall, otherwise you won't notice it at all.
But now there are a lot of enemy soldiers building ladders and pushing siege towers to attack the city. What's the difference between lying on the wall and seeking death?
At this moment, Zhou Xu frowned after learning the news. After cutting down an enemy soldier in front of him with a knife, he quickly recruited a group of soldiers.
"You protect me, I want to confirm the situation under the city wall!"
"Yes!"
The elf knights headed by Silk are now They have all been transferred to serve as archers, and if necessary, they will have to be used as cavalry. Now they are not on the wall, so Zhou Xu can only temporarily recruit a group of soldiers to act as his own bodyguards.
In order to ensure the safety of their king, the small team of soldiers set up their shields to protect the surrounding area. Zhou Xu saw the opportunity and quickly leaned out to confirm the situation under the city wall.
Sure enough, I saw a group of soldiers pushing the battering ram and hitting their city gate one after another.
At the same time, on both sides of the city gate, those soldiers who had not had their turn to climb the ladders and siege towers had also gathered.
As soon as the battering ram breaks open their city gate, these soldiers will seize the opportunity, swarm forward, and enter the city!
While the soldiers on the opposite side have begun to capture the wall, they are also starting to take action below, making them unable to take care of it. In terms of siege warfare, the opposite side has a very mature set of tactics, and the soldiers He also has relatively rich experience, which also makes the opponent's tactics unfold extremely smoothly.
[It’s a pity that you met me. 】
Thoughts flashed across his mind, and he spotted the battering ram that was being pushed out and ready to attack the city gate again. Out of caution, Zhou Xu directly blasted it with two 'flying stone attacks'!
With the inertia of the downward thrust, the power of the two flying stones was astonishing. The car holding the battering ram could not withstand such a force impact. While being destroyed by the 'flying stone attack', the installation The battering ram on the car also became a burden at this moment, and its heavy weight caused the entire car to fall apart on the spot and shatter into pieces.
At the same time, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget the enemy soldiers gathered below.
"Woods and boulders! Come up quickly!"
If nothing else, there will be additional updates after 10:30
