As the training gradually deepened, Wu Feng realized that the instructor group sent by the Asura kings this time were very excellent and they performed very professionally in siege.

Speaking of siege, Wu Feng's mind immediately emerged, as the Asura warriors flocked to charge, and the high-level Asura general used his strong personal combat power to send a blow to the city wall, and finally knocked down the city wall and the army rushed in frantically.

But it is obvious that the tall and sturdy Sunrise City walls, under the leadership of enemy masters, are indeed the biggest barrier to block the army of the Fire King.

Then how to break through the city gate, or how to bypass the problem of breaking through the city gate, has become a question that the Fire King needs to think about.

In the original army of the Fire King, General Asura and his commanders had only one kind of siege strategy in mind, which was to rush forward and rush desperately.

However, among the instructors, other Asura Ming did not understand, and Wu Feng did not know. Anyway, Wu Feng himself understood that the siege strategy was roughly divided into four types: strong attack, siege, lure the enemy, and attack.

Under normal circumstances, the army that attacks one side often hopes to directly destroy the city gates and achieve the purpose of invading the enemy city.

However, due to various reasons such as siege equipment, siege tactics, number of soldiers, etc., there are very few cases of winning the battle.

Therefore, all those who are good at fighting emphasize that "striking the city will lead to defeat", believing that siege is the worst strategy and a last resort.

Since this is the world of cultivation, many situations are very different from human siege operations.

Therefore, various tactics have gradually improved, and multiple methods are used to attack cities from all aspects rather than just siege the city gates.

If a city wall blocks the way, then building a staircase to climb the city wall is the most direct idea.

This is building a building. The so-called building a building means that when siege the city, it accumulates soil into a mountain.

After building a high wall, in addition to climbing the wall to observe the enemy situation, you can also climb to the city gate with the high wall.

Faced with the tall and strong city walls, we did not choose to attack the city gates, but instead adopted the method of building a building to build a mountain of earth outside the city to form a barrier for climbing the city. We selected elite soldiers to follow these barriers to climb the city walls and fight fiercely with the enemy.

On the other hand, the exception is to dispatch large troops to launch an offensive against the city gates and cooperate with the troops that climb the city to capture the enemy city.

Moreover, because of its mana, you can use ranged spells to attack the enemy on the earth mountain.

In addition, there is a very ruthless method, which is water attack. The form of water attack is roughly to use natural floods, artificial embankment to raise the water level, and artificial dike breaking.

In the siege of natural floods, there is actually no complete nature in this world of practice.

build

The soldiers cast spells and rained heavily for more than ten days. When the water surged and the ground was several feet tall, they ordered their subordinates to prepare large ships early and could launch the entire enemy army to wipe out the entire army.

Artificial dam building is to build dams upstream of the river to store water. By trying to attack water, use the direction of the river to build dams upstream to store water, and build a canal to reach the enemy city directly, then open a canal to irrigate the city, and flood the water into the city to kill and injure the enemy soldiers and civilians.

The artificial dam breaking is still carried out in the upper reaches of the river, and it defeats the enemy by changing the flow direction or runoff.

Before using water attack, you must first determine the height of the terrain and predict the flow direction of the river more accurately, otherwise you may suffer. Unreasonable water attacks will not only be difficult to achieve their strategic goals, but may also cause their own military failure.

As for the origin of the fire attack law, it has been used since ancient times. Fire attack mainly relies on artificial arson, using rockets, trains and other means. Of course, there are also large fire spells, but the true power consumed in that way is not a small amount.

Due to the long-range magic in the cultivation world, crossbows have developed greatly, and the production skills of arrows have been improved, especially after being combined with talismans, which have become extremely powerful.

In siege battles, rockets with fireballs can be used to attack the city at the connection between arrowheads and arrow shafts. They can also use the technology of birds and beasts to attack with fire, and even some birds and beasts can spit out fire.

In addition, there are some more peculiar methods, such as siege to attack the city. The siege to attack the city is just digging. The tall city walls are difficult to break under the offensive of the defenders, so consider underground breakthroughs.

The cave-ground attack can be roughly divided into two ways. One is to dig tunnels through the city wall and lead directly into the city, and attack the city from the tunnels, and work with the army outside the city to eliminate the enemy.

The second type is more commonly used. The siege party uses chariots to advance to the city gate, then digs tunnels at the foot of the city, and uses beams and pillars to prevent the city wall from falling. Finally, setting fires in the tunnels. With a fire, the beams and pillars will be destroyed, and the city gate will collapse. Anyway, no matter what method is used to attack the city, the result will be countless casualties and injuries, which is extremely difficult.

Whether for the siege or the defending side, once the siege comes, the two sides often refuse to give in to each other and must see the heights of the same city, and the result is mostly deaths and injuries.

For the siege, even if the city is taken down, it will probably become a waste city.

For the defending party, even if the city is defended, it will have to pay a heavy price, and it will be devastated.

There is inevitably a question here, why are you so stupid? Why are you fighting to the death around a city? Can't you go around it?

During training, Asura raised this question, but was speechless by the instructor’s remarks.

The instructor's remarks

It’s very simple. Why don’t we bypass this Rising Sun City that is standing in front of everyone now? Instead, we have to attack with countless casualties and injuries? We are going to fight to the death on this city?

The Rising Sun City should attack the key to the core area of ​​Asura from north to south, and behind the territory of the Fire King is an important area.

Luohu's army worked hard to manage the Rising Sun City, and was determined to use this city as a base to take down the territory of the Fire King.

The millions of troops of Luohu's side swear to defend this city. Over the past eight hundred years, both sides have fought countless attacks and defenses, and Luohu's side has firmly grasped this clever city in their hands.

This is a typical siege battle that is fought to the death. So, why didn’t the Yanhuo King’s army go around and attack directly into the core area of ​​Luohu?

One of the main considerations is that the enemy is worried that the enemy will launch a surprise attack from behind, so he must conquer Rising City before he can stop.

This is because Rising Sun City is a strategic location, and any strategic location, whether it is an attacking or a defending party, cannot give in, and the result will be repeated tug-of-war.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as bypassing the pass city, breaking directly to the rear of the enemy, plundering a large number of troops and then withdrawing troops. In other words, if the purpose of plundering is to avoid the siege battle. If the purpose of plundering is to be taken, the siege battle is inevitable.

The so-called "circling around" is unrealistic. If you circle around, the defenders can immediately leave the city and cut off your way back, cut off your food and grass, and move forward alone, and there is only one way to die.

In this case, it is naturally a fierce city defense battle between the two sides.

The army of the King of Fire and Luohu's army have fought for more than 800 years, and the number of casualties on both sides has exceeded tens of millions.

If the defender fights to the death and does not retreat when defending the city, he will probably still have combat power.

The siege was to be condescending, suppressing the defenders on the city with dense "fire power" of arrows and stones, and then siege the city gates under the cover of arrows and stones, so they forced themselves to climb the city in a dense formation.

Then, the city wall was destroyed by tunnel operations and fire, and then the city was attacked from the collapsed place, and then the city was sneaked into the city or attacked with tunnel operations.

Generally, when siege, you will have to build a ladder and then climb up a group of people. If this is the case, then if it is the defender, for example, if there are about 10,000 people, the siege will have to be at least 50,000, otherwise it will be really difficult.

Siege is the most difficult thing in war, so most people who don’t know how to use siege will use it as much as possible. If there is no way, they have to fight against the enemy several times before they can attack the city.

But unfortunately, the defenders and sieges now have 10 million troops.

Generally speaking, only if the enemy has 10 times the strength of the troops can siege the city. Now that the troops who attack and defend the city are equal, this battle is a bit weird.
