While digesting his food, Shen Tang and a group of civil and military officials gathered around the bonfire, roughly determining the attacking army formation. Shen Tang suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have fought a siege, so you must be cautious."
As far as she knew, siege warfare was the most difficult part of war.
It often requires a force several times greater than the enemy's to capture it, and it is common to encounter a turtle-like tough enemy that cannot be conquered for months.
The first thing the attackers have to face is not the enemy in the city, but the solid city walls and the complete defensive system built around the city walls. The moat, the city gates, the outer city, the inner city, they have to break through step by step to advance the front. But, can it be that easy
It’s not easy at all.
If such a big city can be easily conquered by the enemy, why would people spend a huge amount of money to build it
The city's defenses can withstand four times the defenders' strength!
The walls are either built with rammed earth or huge stones, and their defensive capabilities are amazing. Light weapons such as bows and arrows cannot have much effect, but the defenders can hide behind the walls and launch counterattacks through the shooting holes reserved in various places.
Once the battle started, the defenders would block the city gates with stones to prevent the enemy from breaking through with siege wood, forcing them to climb the city walls with ladders. In this way, they could occupy the high ground and pour down boiling gold, flaming stones, rolling logs, etc.
Even if the city wall is lost and the enemy rushes into the city, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory through street fighting. However, this theory is not completely applicable in the world after the arrival of the meteorite, because the personal force value is amplified, and there are many ruthless people who can demolish the city wall with their bare hands.
Linshan County City is not as tall and majestic as Xiaocheng City, so it is relatively easier to attack, but it is only relatively speaking...
Gu Chi could see the unrest beneath Shen Tang's calm appearance.
Chatting and laughing freely: "My lord, don't panic."
It’s okay that Shen Tang has no experience.
The old hands under her command are very experienced.
If it really doesn't work, just follow the process, you're familiar with it.
"Okay, I'm not panicking."
It's calm and relaxed here.
Qiu Cheng was on pins and needles.
The enemy was right in front of them, but they had no idea when and how they would attack. With the unknown threat just around the corner, who could be at ease? Qiu Cheng even asked Shen Tang three times in a quarter of an hour.
But Shen Tang refused to move.
finally-
"Report—Enemy movement!"
Qiu Cheng suddenly became more alert and pricked up his ears.
"Hmph, you came just in time!"
Everyone thought to themselves: It’s finally here!
Yes, Shen Tang's troops finally made a move. The news spread everywhere as if it had wings. The battle horn sounded, and the defenders on the city wall were ready to go. Even the most cunning and slippery veterans did not dare to continue to fish in troubled waters.
While hurriedly putting on his equipment, he woke up his lazy comrades: "Wake up, wake up everyone!"
"What's the matter?"
"What's wrong? Are you deaf and didn't hear it?"
Without even having time to elaborate, he grabbed his weapon and crawled back to his post. Those who had woken up also heard the order and hurriedly got up.
These are just the insignificant scenes at the bottom.
The big shots on the city wall who were in charge of everything had no time to pay attention.
Qiu Cheng and his companions watched the "black horizon" formed by people in the distance approaching them like the rising tide. The horses' hooves moved in unison, and the vibrations produced could be felt even from those standing on the city wall. Qiu Cheng remained silent for a long time, and exhaled a foul breath.
"Even though they are rushing forward like this, they are still able to gather together and not disperse..."
"We really underestimated Shen Youli."
Qiu Cheng does not regret robbing Shen Tang.
I only regret not being fully prepared and underestimating the other party. If I knew Shen Tang had such a rich family, I should have contacted the nearby counties that were short of food and sent troops from all over to nibble at Shen Tang. Although this move would require a share of the spoils, it was less risky.
When the army approached the city, Qiu Cheng winked at the generals around him. The latter understood, and with a calm mind, he pointed a spear downwards and said righteously: "Who are you? Why are you attacking Linshan? Why don't you retreat quickly to save your life!"
These words are powerful.
His voice was full of natural righteousness and awe-inspiring justice, and people who didn't know the truth would really think they were the victims.
"Haha, which mad dog is barking?"
Not long after, a mule-riding warrior came out from the formation below. He was wearing red clothes and silver armor, his body was straight, and his voice sounded young.
This person sneered.
The sound was not loud, but it could be easily heard by both armies.
This shows how profound the other party's skills are.
However, the other party is more skilled in talking.
"A bunch of thieves stole your ancestors' things and did shameless things in Nanyu County. Now you are pretending to be your uncle's pure white lotus in front of the two armies? If you are so good at pretending, why don't you go to the assembly line and pretend to be rich all at once? Although the salary is meager, it is better than your family being so poor that they have to lie down in the manure pit to feed themselves! You don't even wipe your mouth when you open your mouth to spit shit, but you have to show off everywhere. Isn't it disgusting?"
Shen Tang was not one to indulge others. He started with a greeting of high content of Huben and shit, and at the end he did not forget to mention their lord Qiu Cheng. In front of the two armies, he threatened: "If you know what's good for you, push Qiu Wenyan, who has washed his neck, out now!"
"While I'm in a good mood, I'll leave him with an intact body!"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Zhen, who was stroking his beard, pulled off a strand of his beard. This made him very distressed, and he tried to put the beard back, but after poking it twice, he had to give up. Looking at the master's back, he whispered to Jiang Sheng: "Is the master angry?"
Although I couldn't understand some of the content, I could infer from the part I could understand that the rest was not nice.
Jiang Sheng said: "About that..."
He tried to save Shen Tang's dignity again: "My lord was not like this in the past."
Xun Zhen agreed: "That's true."
What does the lord look like on weekdays
Polite, elegant and refined.
Be humble and modest, and promote both the obscure and the famous.
He is diligent and conscientious in government affairs, and only occasionally does he show the playfulness and liveliness that is unique to his age.
In short—
The two of them thought of someone in tacit agreement.
He was lucky that he didn't come this time...
This time, Shen Tang brought out five scholars, making for a luxurious lineup.
Kang Shi led the mobile team and served as a teacher to Yu Zilinfeng and other young people to accumulate more experience. The main forces of the three armies were Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen, Liao Jia and Gu Chi. The others stayed behind to guard the counties and towns within the county to prevent sneak attacks.
Originally, he was going to take Qi Shan with him, and Shen Tang was used to Qi Shan accompanying the army. However, considering that he did not have a very harmonious relationship with the first three, they would bicker with each other from time to time, and the three of them would also create a barrier to "shield Qi Yuanliang" when chatting. As a lord, Shen Tang could not force them to have a sweet relationship unless his subordinates showed any real anger...
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to let Chu Yao, Qi Shan, Ning Yan and others stay behind to look after the house, and let Gu Chi take the remaining spot.
In fact, it is convenient to take Gu Chi with you when you go out. If you catch a big fish prisoner, it will be convenient to interrogate him with him around.
Gu Chi heard the two whispering and curled his lips.
How could the lord be so angry
She clearly revealed her true nature.
What she said just now was just the tip of the iceberg of her curse words. When she really opened her mouth to curse at someone, the output was no less powerful than a storm. How could it be so gentle? Despite this, the people on the wall were still furious at her vulgarity.
_(:з」∠)_
It’s been scheduled, the second surgery in the morning, hehe.
Thank God, the operation went well.
ps: A bug occurred and I forgot about Liao Jia, please patch it.
