Chapter 754 Old Giants
In this case, the siege battle will be transformed into consumption and stalemate, and the offensive party will sometimes organize large-scale attacks, but its frequency is no longer as good as before.
At this time, what both sides hope for is probably the opponent's supplies to be exhausted in advance, or a plague broke out in the camp, and they were forced to surrender or retreat.
At this time, both the offense and the defense will use psychological warfare to force the opponent to believe that the battle is no longer likely to win.
In the era of the Asura Emperor, there was a city. At the critical moment of being besieged, something like this happened. The troops led by the Asura King were besieged and forced to hide in a small city.
When the ammunition and food were exhausted, it was proved that King Asura came up with a solution to kill the few remaining beasts in the city and threw them outside the city.
The enemy troops outside the city saw these ferocious beasts and thought that there was still enough food and supplies in the city, so they had to withdraw their troops, thus relieving the siege and causing the Asura King to escape from a path of life.
Today, when the Rising Sun City and its surrounding Acropolis were besieged by the Firefighters, they also adopted similar strategies to throw food outwards, in an attempt to slam the morale of the Firefighters.
In the era of Asura Emperor, the situation was actually different from the current situation.
At that time, the defenders had relatively few resistances to the end, and on the contrary, if the conditions were not favorable, they would declare their surrender.
When it is time to surrender, they will send a messenger waving the white flag and hand over the keys to the city gate to the enemy commander.
So the white flag means surrender, and it has been passed down to this point.
When the defenders in the city surrender, they will hand over the seal symbolizing their identity and the key to the city gate to the enemy to show their sincerity to give up resistance. Once the defenders surrender, both sides will stop hostilities. The defenders will destroy their weapons and raise redemption expenses. The attacking party will continue to put pressure on the negotiating table in order to obtain the most favorable conditions.
During this period, both sides will also discuss how to deal with the difficult issue of defenders. Some lower-level soldiers may be dismissed, some may be massacred. As for the disposals suffered by nobles and officers, including exile, deprivation of personal property, and seals. If the victors believe that some people are unforgivable, they will also imprison them for a long time or even be cruelly executed.
But at that time, there was a high-ranking Asura Emperor in the Asura world. At least in name, he was recognized as the communist ruler, so these sieges and defending cities were equivalent to internal disputes.
But now it is different. There is no such powerful person who is recognized by all parties. In fact, it is no longer an internal dispute. Therefore, at this time, the defenders rarely surrender easily and often resist to the end, and the war has become particularly cruel.
In the era of the Asura Emperor, stone cannons appeared in the Re Asura Realm in the World
In the war, due to poor accuracy, their initial role was only to deterrence, but in the late period of the Asura Emperor's era, they had already begun to become the first choice weapon for siege.
Giant stone cannons can not only destroy the city walls, but also make the timid enemies lose their souls. However, as time goes by, in the era after the fall of Asura Emperor, the designers of the city also adopted more advanced means to deal with the attacks of large-scale killing weapons such as stone cannons.
If it was only an occasional thing to do when using stone cannons in the siege of Asura Emperor, in the era after the fall of Asura Emperor, it can be said that in almost every siege of Asura, you can see that the siege and defending the city use stone cannons, and even in field battles, both the enemy and us also use stone cannons in large quantities.
And from then on, the style of the city has also changed. Compared with the previous cities, the exterior walls of these cities have become thicker and their appearance has become relatively low.
At the same time, these city walls were equipped with artillery positions to bombard groups of siegemen. Later, more complex bastions appeared, but even so, the era of traditional cities gradually faded away.
However, traditional small cities were eliminated, while large fortress-type cities, together with the acropolis attached to them, became a new city style.
During the fall of the Asura Emperor, between the Asura King and the Asura King, and between the Asura King and the Demon God, there were majestic fortresses, and the fortresses rose from the ground.
Among them, an armored turret integrating offense and defense was developed, and its main structure was located below the surface.
In a sense, they can be regarded as the spiritual successors of the traditional fortress back then,
However, in the years after the end of the era of Asura Emperor, the derivatives of the city still played a great role.
In the era of Emperor Asura, even in the years when he had just fallen, many cities could still survive the siege for several months.
Moreover, the army also built giant fortresses. Although these fortresses are completely different in style from those of the past, in essence, they can still be regarded as the ultimate form of the city.
In addition, although the form of siege warfare has evolved, some of the principles were still regarded as the norms by later military strategists, such as careful preparation, bold actions, and acting within their ability on the battlefield, which will never be outdated in any era.
When you open the Asura map, such as this in the late period of the Asura Emperor's era, everyone will be attracted by the territory of the largest force in the history of the Asura world.
A huge color block that occupies the best core position is extremely conspicuous. This is the power area of the famous Asura Emperor.
The warlike Emperor Asura led
Leading his cavalry, he continued to extend the vast territory to the distance, crossed countless mountains and rivers, and included countless famous cities.
And in this map, where the unobtrusive place is on the east side of the majestic demon plateau, on the edge of the beast gold basin, there are some almost invisible points that are stuck like nails on the edge of the Mongolian Empire territory.
One of these points is Diaoyu City. The fierce battle surrounding it is like the flapping wings in the butterfly effect, which inadvertently affects the future direction of the world.
Everything has a cause. Since the fall of the Asura Emperor, the rise of the Asura kings, and all have been rising in the Asura realm. They are born with nomadic business and chase water and grass. They have simple and direct commodity trading, but they still rely mainly on grazing and collection to meet the basic needs of survival.
The prairie products they live in are relatively poor, the weather is changing, and the environment makes them have a firm and indifferent personality, and they especially admire the power of nature and wilderness.
These grassland Asuras have been exposed to horses since childhood, and are skilled in archery and horses, and are good at riding, shooting and hunting, becoming potential military forces. Grassland families form tribes and manage a simple society in the form of a group tribe.
Its leader is usually chosen by the original elder democracy. In order to lead the tribe to survive, personal strength and leadership are the primary reference factors.
These tribal leaders are often military leaders, and each tribal family bears military responsibilities and shares military benefits. Once a tribal leader with extraordinary capabilities appears, he will merge other nearby small tribes to enhance his own power, gradually form a large military group, and greatly increase his survival.
The constantly flowing nomadic tribes have a wide range of knowledge and their knowledge and ambitions have increased in proportion to their ambitions until they have enough strength to support their ambitions.
In order to satisfy the leadership class, their increasing material desires and ambitions, and the basic survival needs of more and more tribal members, they often turn their attention to other wealthy civilizations.
The relatively poor nomadic output can no longer be exchanged for more property through normal trading channels, and plunder has become the best choice for the martyrical and straightforward grassland tribes.
More spoils and more military victory will make the authority of tribal leaders more stable for a certain period of time, and more expansion needs will emerge. This primitive impulse of plunder has become the driving force for the foreign aggression of Asura on the grassland.
Conquering various tribes of Asuras and establishing a unified great Asura, with extraordinary personal abilities and ambitions, coupled with the powerful mobilization and combat capabilities after the unification of Ganyuan, they began to expand to the outside world.
Those who do not surrender will be killed!
When these grassland Asuras were destroyed and shaking small cities, they sent off partial masters to guide many places, which originally belonged to Emperor Asura.
