627 Battle 2
When the day lighted up, the Great Food Barracks blew the horn, and people came to the three places in droves, it was indeed full of momentum. Seeing that people were only battling against the city outside the two walls in the southwest, the Huoxun army began to reinforce the west and south of the city according to the pre-predetermined plan.
There is a moat in Hanhai City. The only thing that can be used for effective siege is the stone thrower and the tower cart. The rest is to build a ladder on the moat and let people carry the siege ladder to attack the city. There are no shortcuts and conspiracies. It really can only be filled with human lives. Even if everyone wears armor like the Huo Xunjun, death and injury are still inevitable. Anyway, the fight is consumption. It is nothing more than to see which side has fewer people dead.
Here in the bastion, Ziyad Ibn personally supervised the battle. When he saw smoke and dust starting to be everywhere in the bastion, he finally saw what was going on with the artillery. After the shells exploded everywhere, they did cause a lot of casualties to the food army. But this casualty is nothing for the 20,000 siege army.
Harmonis saw so many people besieging the bastion, and he was very happy. The more comprehensive the siege, the greater the casualties of the opponent. As long as he defeats the opponent here, the morale of the food army will definitely be effectively attacked. of.
For the attack of the bastion, the big cannibal only smashed it a few times, and stopped the stone thrower. It was really meaningless. It was better to use people to carry a ladder to attack quickly. Anyway, there are no moats and trenches. It's just a deep trench dug out at the entrance of the bastion. In their perception, as long as there are many people, it is easy to climb up. As long as people go up, they will be taken here soon. Come down.
What they didn't expect was that they couldn't get up at all, no matter where they attacked, they could be hit. Those who attacked the bastion were hit by the shotguns fired by bows and arrows and cast-iron cannons. They couldn't reach the walls of the bastion at all. The archers on the tower carts were also bewildered by the musketeers.
What Qiyad Ibn saw was shaking his head again and again. It was hard for him to imagine that there would be such a strong resistance here, and he seemed to know that the defenders of this fortress were definitely elite men. Seeing this, he looked at the two city walls in the southwest. He didn’t know what was going on there. He only saw a large number of people preparing to attack. He really hopes to see the city broken today. After all, he In the understanding of Hanhai City, there are not many available soldiers.
The fortress he attacked would definitely not be less than 3,000 people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit 20,000 people and the offensive was blocked. This made him a little puzzled. Why did the opponent plant so many people here? Isn’t the city still there? The key here.
"Commander Qi Yade, it doesn't seem to be right here! Our casualties are too great."
Military Senator Mawson pulled Ziyad Ibn’s thoughts back. He sighed as he watched the people who were constantly falling from the siege ladder, and then said: "Take another shot and see, if it is really difficult to attack here. Go down, then retreat."
Harmonis was really a little surprised. These food troops were just like crazy, constantly pouring on the walls of the bastion. The dead and wounded sergeants felt that they had no effect on them at all, and they all fought fast. Half an hour later, they have killed and injured thousands of people, and they are still moving forward.
When Harmonis was particularly surprised, the big cannibal finally withdrew his troops. Ziyad Ibn was also extremely surprised and kept looking at this fortress. It is really hard to imagine that he would have paid so much for this. At the price, the only thing he hopes now is that the attacks on both sides of the southwest will be effective.
At the gates and walls on both sides of the southwest, there are attacking troops everywhere. As long as they are repelled, the stone thrower will immediately throw the boulders over. There will always be a part of the wall that can hit the city wall. Can it hit someone? It depends on luck, but with so many people on the wall, there is always bad luck. The two sides have been seeing the saw in this way. The good thing is that there are some musketeers here, and the role of the siege tower has been severely reduced, making the casualties on their side not that big.

In some places, the people are more concentrated. The sergeant who defended the city simply threw out the fierce fire oil, which can be considered to be able to stop one or two. Heizi looked at the tower to the west with a bit of heart. This time the attacking food army. But there were some differences from the past, and it gave him the feeling that these people were not afraid of death at all, they were too brave, and he had seen many people still attacking with arrows in their bodies.
Behind the siege army were cavalry and pikemen opposing the formation. It could be seen to some extent from the military appearance. They were absolutely elite. When he saw this, he suddenly saw several cavalry coming over in the distance. It came to pass the letter.
This made Heizi laugh, and then he went to the tower gunner's position and aimed the three artillery at the position where the messenger was standing. He has never seen where the leading general is here. Now he finally knows it, but a pity The thing is that he has three artillery pieces. If there are more, it would be great.
For the gunner, there is no need to raise the shot, and the accuracy is better, as long as it is aimed at the direct shot. After they adjusted the muzzle of the artillery, they started to ignite. Then, after a dull explosion, the big guys were like Heizi. Looking at the cavalry back, if they really hit the leading general, there must be Chaos.
After the three artillery shells exploded, the cavalry fell into disarray. This was just a fright for the horses. If the chaos after a while, it means that something has happened, and you have to keep watching. After a while, the formation really became chaotic, and even the army formation changed accordingly, and a large number of cavalry retreated, which seemed to be a success.
After fighting for a while, the food army stopped and began to slowly retreat. At this time, Nancheng also stopped, and all retreated. At this point, the battle was over. And now it hasn't reached noon. It is also true that the casualties of the food army were too heavy and had to be stopped temporarily.
Qiyad Ibn lost 5,000 people in the first battle. The army attacking the city on both sides of the southwest suffered a total of more than 8,000 casualties. Fedile was seriously injured. This is the loss of the siege in less than half a day. This loss is already Qiyad Yi. He hadn't encountered it in many years, he had to think carefully about what was wrong this time.
Heizi also got the casualty statistics in the afternoon. Nearly a thousand people were killed in battle and more than one thousand were injured. This was something that Heizi did not expect. When he returned to defend the city, although there were thousands of casualties every day, it was a defensive city. On all sides, the casualties were not so serious. This time I only attacked two walls. I really wanted to attack the city like this. How could he bear the casualties? Thinking of this, Kuroko couldn't help feeling scared. This was a casualty caused by guns and artillery. Without these things, the city would have to lose it if not.
He really didn’t dare to think about what this army was. It was indeed strong enough. He originally thought it would be the same as before. When today’s siege is about the same, he will send heavy cavalry to attack. Now think about it. Fortunately, the opponent retreated early and he did not act. According to the opponent’s combat strength, once the heavy armored cavalry came out, it would not be possible to return without losing a few percent. He is now thinking about the end of the battle. How to fight to repel this army, now, he dare not think of annihilating this army here.
