Chapter 168 Formal Siege
The two generals Cao Hong and Cao Bao were persuaded and even forced to force Zhang Fei to fail to completely go wild.
But in the face of the current situation, I was really powerless and could only watch the other party come and go, constantly throwing sandbags towards the moat. And after an hour, the first section of the moat was finally filled.
The moat on the south gate of Huaiyin City is ten meters wide and five meters deep, and its depth is basically flush with the height of the city wall.
There is also a saying that the soil on the city wall is compacted with the earth from excavating the moat. Therefore, the depth of the moat is the same as the height and width of the city wall, at least about the same.
Such a moat was finally filled with four carts after two hours after throwing a large number of sandbags. I don’t know if it is stable or not, anyway, there has been a passage about two meters wide.
But Sun Ce was obviously not satisfied. The sandbag stock was only one-third of the amount, and she could continue to fill it. As long as the other party could not make it, she could fill the moat to the greatest extent.
"Engineers are dispatched!" Huang Gai ordered, and the engineers began to rush forward with sandbags.
The sandbags in their hands will not be thrown into the moat, but will come to the filled part, pour the soil inside on the sandbag, and then tamp it. Only in this way can the filled road be considered stable.
"Arrow, shoot arrow!" Zhang Fei also immediately ordered that the car could not deal with these engineers?
Yes, arrows or even throwing stones can definitely cause damage to engineers, but it is very limited. After all, engineers come one by one, throw away the soil in the bag and run away.
If you are shot accidentally, there is nothing you can do. If you can't die, you will be rescued and treated. If you accidentally kill with one arrow, it will only be considered as bad luck. How can you not die when you fight...
As the soil continues to pour, the road filled with sandbags has gradually become compacted. When I ran before, I might have to worry about whether the road would collapse. Now the problem is not big.
Moreover, as more and more filled parts are added, the compacted area becomes wider and wider. Even siege equipment can start to pass through it later.
"The well railing car, advance through!" Liu Ye began to command, and she was mainly responsible for commanding the siege equipment battalion, "cooperate with the engineers to form the stone casting car!"
"The crossbowmen advance and start to cover their friendly forces!" Lu Fan immediately ordered that from the beginning, she would be the ruler of the crossbowmen in the army, and she was not purely a scholar.
Literature can govern one side, and martial arts can kill enemies. Lu Fan is not both civil and military because of his profession of "wizard". She has indeed practiced literature and martial arts since she was a child. It is also possible that she practiced too hard, so she smoothed out the edges and corners...
If you don’t need to fill it completely, you can almost pass it, and you have to gradually start siege. After all, the soldiers waited for too long, and the morale of the high will be eroded little by little. If you stand on the front line for a few hours, you will be exhausted to death.
Not to mention physical fatigue, the psychological burden will also increase.
Now you just need to wait for the catapult to be completed. With the cooperation of the cassette truck and the catapult, the long ladder and the ladder can also start trying to pass the filled road.
Filling the river will continue until the rushing car can pass, which is when the door starts to hit.
But as expected, the other party is very likely to be behind the city gate, full of obstacles to block them from rushing to the city. Of course, it is not the path in front of them. After all, even if you break through this path, you will just look at entering the city.

There will probably be a urn city in places like Huaiyin. If it is changed to a place like Chang'an and Luoyang, there will be at least three.
In other words, there are four gates that need to be broken through. Only when you break through the fourth gate can you truly break through all the defense lines of the city. It is only on this road that you have to face three urns and attacks from all directions.
Therefore, even if you just smash the city gate on the front, it looks quite easy, but in fact it is not easier than climbing the city wall.
Not to mention, some evil guys, [Guchengdushu.com] fill the fourth city gate, that is, the real city gate, so that sometimes, they can't even break open the last gate.
Otherwise, why would you have to work hard to climb the city wall to attack the city gate? Isn’t it faster to directly hit the city gate?
It is difficult to reach the city wall, but at least it is impossible to have a second city wall. If you want to break into the city, the city wall is often the first choice!
"Prepare boiling water, prepare gold juice!" Zhang Fei shouted, although he personally doesn't like the thing about gold juice. It's just about defending the city, this thing is also useful. It can not only cause actual damage, but also have strong psychological damage.
In addition, wounds burned by gold juice are very likely to become inflamed, and the mortality rate is very high in this era.
Boiling water is inexhaustible. As long as the well in the city still emits water. After boiling completely, it will fall down. Dozens of boiling water from more than Baidu falls on your body, which will also cause a large-scale burn. Especially if it burns your eyes, blindness is possible.
It is not as powerful as gold juice, but it is considered a cheap city guarding material. If you fall down along the long ladder, at least five or six enemy troops will suffer in a straight line. Especially the one who is about to reach the top, if one falls unstable, it may not be able to die at a height of five or six meters, but if you smash it down, you will definitely be injured. You may even be able to hit one or two enemy troops.
There is a saying: killing an enemy will only consume an enemy. If you can injure an enemy, then the opponent will need two to three people to rescue him, which will indirectly restrain the three enemy troops.
"This taste...can't bear it..." After the golden juice started to boil, Zhang Fei really couldn't stand the smell, so he picked up a thickened mask and put it on.
A man may be able to tolerate it, but as an elegant lady, even a female general, she really can't tolerate this thing.
"It's just like defending the city..." Cao Hong was wearing a mask obediently, and he couldn't stand the smell of this thing.
Cao Bao shook his head, then frowned and insisted. Fortunately, the wind direction was not towards this side. As long as it was not at the lower wind, as long as it didn't look, it would have little impact.
As the well railing car began to advance, the archers above began to shoot at the top of the city to cover their soldiers.
The archer who could not get on the well railing car gradually advanced and shot upwards. Unfortunately, there were no crossbowmen under Sun Ce's command. The public prohibited the circulation of crossbows, and there were not many craftsmen who could make crossbows, let alone high-quality powerful crossbows.
The price of a crossbow is three times that of a bow. After all, as long as this thing is simple training, women and children can operate it flexibly and easily shoot and kill an enemy general.
Sun Ce's command is not short of infantry and cavalry, but qualified archers and crossbowmen are the most lacking. This also means that without the help of the catapult, it will be difficult to suppress the enemy's army with the existing archers.
"Zu Lang!" Sun Ce looked at Zu Lang and ordered, "Go to fight!"
