The preparation time of the day passed in a flash. In the middle of the night, Su Yan came to the city wall and looked at the busy figure outside. Fortunately, their work efficiency was not low. In a day, the bank of the moat had been strengthened and there were archers.
The shooting point, the city of Wucheng has also become decent, with arrow towers and ambush points.
The Korqin army arrived as scheduled, with a black army standing two miles away from the city, with flags waving and swords and guns as snow, which was intimidating.
Looking at the dark figures outside, the soldiers guarding the city looked ugly and began to feel timid in their hearts. It was not their fault, as the power of the enemy and us was very different, and anyone would do this.
Su Yan stood on the top of the city and looked at Korqin's military formation with a serious expression. It was false to say that it was not nervous, but to show a natural look. Otherwise, the soldiers would be in chaos immediately when they saw the head coach's nervous and fearful look.
.
Under Su Yan's arrangement, five hundred archers and crossbowmen were lying on the bank of the moat, and eight hundred infantry were protecting them. There were also formations in the urn city waiting for the enemy's attack.
The war begins on time!
"Hidden!" Su Yan shouted loudly, and then ordered it to spread around. The soldiers in the city, including the urn city, hid behind the city walls, and the soldiers on the river bank also leaned against the inner side of the reinforcement of the river bank.
In less than a moment after Su Yan's order, the rain of arrows in the sky had already covered the sky and hit the sky, and came with a buzzing sound of cracking the air.
Fortunately, it was timely concealed, and three consecutive rounds of arrow rain did not cause much casualties, but this was just the beginning. After the arrow rain, Korqin immediately launched a charge.
Accompanied by the deafening sound of killing, Korqin's infantry phalanx rushed towards the city like a black curtain, with swords and guns as snow, which was shocking.
"Swoosh..."
When the Korqin soldiers arrived less than a mile from the moat, the archers ambushed on the river bank immediately stood up, pulled their bows like a full moon, and the rain of arrows left the strings, stirring up blood flowers in the air.
The archers were in a group of 100 people, and the arrow rain kept shooting away. Korqin's army was very aggressive, so the archers did not need to aim at all. The indiscriminate arrow rain attack caused the opponent to suffer casualties.
Countless corpses fell to the ground.
"Bang..."
The catapult at the city wall suddenly started, and a huge rock about three feet flew out like a cannonball, smashing into the opponent's military formation. The terrifying force directly pressed the soldiers below into meat pies, and then fell to the ground.
The rupture broke out, and the gravel that flew out from all directions once again arose a scream.
Obstructed by many crossbowmen and catapults on the river bank, the Korqin-based 5,000-strong square formation was beaten back before crossing the river bank, leaving behind corpses all over the ground.
"Okay!" Seeing that the other party's square formation was beaten back by his side, the soldiers guarding the city shouted loudly and were very excited.
But Su Yan was not happy because it was just the other party's tentative attack just now, and the next one was a serious battle. As for the corpses left by the other party, they were just the tip of the iceberg of their 50,000 army, which caused them to do so.
No loss.
Although it did not cause much harm to the other party, it inspired the soldiers on their own. The soldiers who had already developed fear also became excited and no longer had any timidity.
As Su Yan expected, the opponent quickly launched a charge again, sending out a larger infantry phalanx than before, and also some light cavalry. It seemed that he wanted to force his way across the moat.
It lasted for nearly an hour. Although it was blocked, the other party still came to the river bank and was about to cross the moat.
"Let them retreat to the urn city." Su Yan looked at the battle situation below and suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, let them fill the river, just let the crossbowmen and catapults harasse them a little." Su Yan gave the order and did not let someone go to the river bank to stop them from filling the river.
Soon, Korqin used the dug sand and his companions' bodies to fill a road in the river, and the army rushed in, and the roar was shocked.
The soldiers guarding the urn city immediately began to attack fiercely, with arrows covering the sky, the catapults buzzing and trembling, and huge rocks kept falling. Many small mouths were also opened on the wall of the urn city, and spears were stretched out to stab the Korqin soldiers on the ladder.
fall.
"Let them go." Su Yan suddenly said to a soldier next to him.
With Su Yan's order, a door suddenly opened on one side of the city wall. It was very small, less than two cars were in parallel. But it was enough for the cavalry to attack.
Su Yan took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent was blocked in the urn city and suddenly launched an attack and sent a team of cavalry. Although there were only one thousand, it also played an unexpected role.
The cavalry suddenly pierced into the opponent's formation like a sharp knife. At this moment, the opponent was thinking about breaking through the wall of the urn. He didn't expect Su Yan to suddenly attack and panic. After being rushed by more than a thousand cavalry, he was disorganized on the spot and left behind.
The bodies all over the ground retreated in a hurry.
The war began to stalemate. Su Yan kept defending, with dense rain of arrows and huge rocks, and the cavalry that came and went without a trace, Korqin could not break through the city, and the situation became a little anxious.
In terms of war, the defending party naturally has a great advantage. Compared with the siege party, the casualty rate of the defending party will not be too high unless it leaves the city to fight. Therefore, under the policy of Su Yan's blindly sticking to it, Korqin
I suddenly couldn't defend myself. After three consecutive attacks failed, I stopped attacking for convenience. I must be thinking about how to break the city.
After a long time, the other party lost patience. In addition to dispatching a large number of troops, they also transferred some siege equipment to assist, hoping to break the city in one fell swoop.
In the era of cold weapons, equipment to break the city and siege is indispensable. Among them, the most commonly used are large catapults and crossbows, which can effectively kill stone walls and thus break the city in one fell swoop.
At this time, the opponent's advantage began to appear. After the catapult was bombarded by the trencher, cracks began to appear in the city and were shaking.
"Let the catapult aim at the opponent's catapult, and also transfer the crossbow to get rid of their equipment. Let the cavalry attack!" Su Yan looked at the shaking wall of the urn and gave the order.
In order to generate greater lethality, the opponent drove the catapult not far from the city wall, but Su Yan took advantage of the loopholes and became conspicuous. He was soon destroyed by Su Yan's crossbow.
At this time, Su Yan's cavalry also came forward again. The Korqin army had no choice but to retreat again. However, the attack was effective and the city was about to be broken.
The sky gradually darkened, and the opponent did not launch another attack, but only sent some troops to surround the city walls, and I don't know what abacus was made.
