Shen Tang has an advantage that seems ordinary, but it is easy to lose as a leader of a power, that is, he knows himself well and is clear about his strengths and weaknesses. He will not easily command experts to do work, and professional matters should be left to professionals.
She had never fought in a siege.
Unfamiliar with the deployment of the three armed forces and their battle formations.
In layman's terms, she was a giant in single combat and a dwarf in teamfights, and her shortcomings were as obvious as lice on a bald man's head. So, she simply handed over the command to the experienced veterans and asked Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng to assist with the Word Spirit.
As for her...
Gu Chi didn't even need to look at Shen Tang's face. He could imagine her opening her almond-shaped eyes with a "pleading" in her eyes just by listening to her inner voice. He waved his hand, indicating that she could take Xun Zhen away. With the strength of her master, no one under Qiu Cheng's command could threaten her life, and releasing her would help her vent her excess energy. As for why Xun Zhen? Of course, it was because he was too expensive.
Because Shen Tang is very powerful, she doesn't need much help. And if Xun Zhen doesn't use krypton gold, that little bit of literary energy is enough to take care of her alone. If Xun Zhen is responsible for the support of the army's words and spirits, the attack will be a big move... No amount of money will be enough to defeat this guy.
"attack!"
The army outside the city shouted in unison.
The loud and passionate sound of war drums shattered the moving clouds.
The long-accumulated morale condensed into clouds.
It hung above the three armies, and then split into three.
Part of it is evenly dispersed and integrated into every soldier's body, either to strengthen the defense, or to boost the spirit, or to enhance physical fitness, making them temporarily forget the fear and fatigue brought by the battle, inspiring them to charge, kill the enemy, and make meritorious deeds; part of it is transformed into siege equipment needed for this battle, such as battering rams, ladders, catapults, trench bridges, etc. The larger, more sophisticated, and more complex the siege equipment transformed from morale, the more morale is required; the rest is used to activate the words of the army formation, reduce their own consumption, and extend combat endurance.
Lu Jue took the lead and prepared to take action.
Unexpectedly, a streak of light passed by him, and the target was exactly what he thought, the chain supporting the drawbridge at the city gate. If the chain was broken, the drawbridge would be lowered, and then he could use a ramming car to hit the city gate. He turned around and saw Bai Su shooting another arrow.
He was not willing to be outdone.
However, the iron ropes of the suspension bridge were so thick that even arrows infused with martial energy could not be broken in a few shots. The soldiers of Qiu Cheng on the city wall quickly realized what Bai Su and the others were planning, and immediately destroyed the suspension bridge and raised the martial energy city wall for defense.
The huge rocks thrown by the giant catapults collided with the Wuqi City Wall, and the ripples spread out like ripples, and it seemed that there was a dragon turning over under the feet. After only one round, the weapon city wall showed signs of being overwhelmed, and the speed at which the cracks healed themselves could not keep up with the speed at which they appeared.
Soon, the army under the city wall had already approached the moat with the cover of various siege equipment. In particular, the battering ram was five stories high and two feet wide. The combat soldiers could hide inside it and use powerful crossbows, stone cannons or bows and arrows to attack the guards on the city.
"The moat is ahead..."
The front line was advancing smoothly, and the old general was very pleased.
Seriously speaking, this was their first battle after being transferred to Shen Tang's camp, so they had to fight well, so as not to lose face for General Chu Jie. According to his next idea, he would naturally build a trench bridge, cross the moat, cover the vanguard troops to attack the city wall, and test the strength of Qiu Cheng's defenders. Unexpectedly, Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi asked about the trench bridge one after another...
Only those with command authority can formulate morale-enhancing forms.
Gu Chi did not choose Haoqiao, and neither did Jiang Sheng.
The old general stroked his beard and paused. The trench bridge was his designated siege device: "Without the trench bridge, how can we cross the moat?"
The trench bridge is a good thing.
In the past, the moat was not wide, so it was not difficult to find the wood needed for the moat bridge. Later, everyone learned how to dig the moat two or three feet wide, and it was not easy to find such high wood. The cost and technical difficulty of making the moat bridge soared. After the Rogue Star, it became a "favorite" again because the length of the moat bridge could be specified. Not to mention a moat of two or three feet, even if it was twenty or thirty feet wide, as long as the morale was sufficient, you could get a few to play with. The key is that this thing is condensed by martial spirit, strong and wear-resistant, and not easily destroyed by the enemy on the city.
How can you attack a city without a trench and bridge
Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi responded almost in unison.
"Of course I filled it up!"
Old general: “…”
The reason is: "If so, the morale may not be enough..."
A moat that is often two or three meters wide and one or two meters deep requires much more morale to fill it than a few trenches and bridges.
Considering the cost-effectiveness, it is not cost-effective.
Jiang Sheng said: "No need for morale."
The old general looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Sheng said calmly: "The literary spirit is sufficient."
It's not about filling up the entire moat, just filling up the space below the city wall, so we have some confidence in this.
Old general: “…”
He couldn't help but think of General Chu Jie's instructions.
Do not offend any of the scholars under Mr. Shen’s command easily—you can overestimate them, but you cannot underestimate them.
Old general: “…”
In terms of the ability to judge people, he is not as good as General Chu Jie.
Xun Ding also had the same feelings as the old general.
Even though Gong Xichou, this damned fellow, has many faults, he has bright eyes and can judge people accurately. This Qiu Cheng is really useless. He rushed back in advance to warn the enemy, and he also knew that Shen Tang was going to lead his troops to attack, but he didn't make any preparations in advance!
What preparations
Light the stove and boil water and golden juice.
These need to be prepared in advance.
Pouring boiling water down from the city wall, or shooting the enemy with bows and arrows dipped in gold juice, especially the latter, even if they are hit by the edge, the soldiers are very likely to die from the continuous high fever after the battle... Get the highest profit with the lowest cost.
result-
They only made hasty preparations after the fight had already started.
Although the city wall was stocked with rolling stones and logs, they were high-cost consumables. They would not kill many people if thrown down, and they would be gone once they were all thrown. In addition to Shen Tang's various psychological attacks, the morale of Qiu Cheng's side had fallen to an underestimated level.
Another oolong mistake like this...
In this way, if Linshan County can keep...
Unless Qiu Cheng is God's biological son, or at least a wild son born from an affair... After all, he received the money, and Xun Ding also helped guard the city wall for a while. But one person's strength could not save the whole situation.
As the city gate defense line collapsed, more and more Shen Tang soldiers, led by military commanders, climbed the city gate to fight. At this time, Xun Ding heard that the gate under the city wall was smashed to pieces, and soon soldiers entered the city...
no…
Xun Ding's expression twisted slightly.
Shouldn’t the city tunnel be blocked in advance
What the hell can a city gate stop
Xun Ding's words really wronged Qiu Cheng. It takes time to move stones to block the city hole, but it was blasted away by a car before it could be completely blocked. When they wanted to use the military spirit to move rolling stones to fill the gap and hold on for a while, Shen Tang did not give them a chance. Just when Xun Ding thought that this siege battle would be lost in a muddle, he saw an extremely familiar face. Shen Tang, who was standing next to this person, showed him a mouthful of white and neat teeth and drew his sword to kill him.
Xun Ding: “…”
_(:з」∠)_
My temperature dropped a lot today, returning to normal several times and then rebounding slightly, but it was not as scary as the spike of over 39 last night, and my spirit was normal. My throat is still itchy and I want to cough, but I can only bear it (when I cough, the incision of the cesarean section feels very sour). I was worried, so I bought a few test kits from my friends to see if it was really positive, and asked my aunt for some antipyretic medicine, just in case.
