Chapter 3170: Destroying the city as bait and bombarding it with boulders
On the commander's platform, Liu Zhong stomped his feet bitterly: "It's a pity, it's such a pity. It's just a little bit short. If we had prepared the crossbow in advance, we could have shot down the Yan army behind the city gate and rushed into the city, or
Even if you prepare shields and heavy armor in advance, it will be enough to fight into the city!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No one knew that the iron gate would suddenly collapse like this. This was something that could not be expected. Besides, the black fire in the city gate hole has not been extinguished. If it was, I'm afraid the city gate would not be so easily broken.
I can only say that this is God’s will.”
Liu Muzhi frowned: "Jinnu, this big iron gate is broken after all. Can we concentrate our troops in the city gate hole and forcefully open the soil bag?"
Liu Yu looked at the city gate entrance, thought thoughtfully, and shook his head: "It's difficult. There are still mechanisms in this city cave. The black demonic water poured from the top of the cave and ignited the car."
Rushing the car shows that these mechanisms still exist. The black demonic water can fall from the holes above, and so can other traps and killing weapons. It is not impossible to even drop the entire Thousand Jin Gate."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, Zhang Gang also said before that Heipao asked him to hollow out several mezzanines in the city gate. As for what they were for, he didn't tell him. It seems that besides the black demon water
, there will also be other agencies arranged. If you enter rashly, you may be killed by various agencies and cause heavy casualties."
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "So, even if you open the city gate, there is no chance to attack it?"
Liu Yu sighed: "We have always defended the city, and the defense around the city gate will be the strictest. Even if we break open the gate, we can use sandbags to block it, build fences or even build walls behind it. If that doesn't work, we can just use heavy armor."
The soldiers formed a shield wall behind it, and it was very difficult to break through. After all, the space was narrow and difficult to expand."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "If that's the case, why do we still need to storm the city gate?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Because the biggest advantage of the siege is the strength of the troops. The defenders need to be fortified everywhere. The gates, walls, and even the tunnels under the city must be guarded. If the perimeter of the city is long enough, then it will be
Facing the shortage of troops, although the city gate is difficult to break through, it is a place that can be broken open directly. The defender needs to set up heavy defense here. Just like now, if the iron gate is opened, the enemy's strength to defend the city gate will be
It can’t be less than three thousand, or even more, this gives us a chance!”
At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Liu Zhong: "Send the order, all the throwing rods near the city gate should use the fastest speed to lob the line behind the south city gate. Within thirty steps,
Make sure you hit them all."
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up and he began to issue orders quickly. Hu Fan nodded in admiration and said: "Commander, you are so clever. Now the enemy will definitely have a large number of reinforcements to rush to the city gate area. Let's cross the tower at this time.
After smashing the city gate, we will definitely kill a large number of enemy troops!"
Liu Yu looked at the city gate. Mao Dezu on the side shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, the tower above the city gate is more than two feet high. In addition, the city is more than three feet high. The stone thrown by the pole wants to cross the tower.
I’m afraid it’s not that easy. I’m afraid we have to find another way!”
Liu Yu suddenly said: "What Dezu said makes sense. I was negligent just now. There is a city tower, and it is not easy to directly hit the sergeant behind the city gate. I sent an order to the front and asked Xiang Mi and the others to make a loud noise and make an important statement.
In the attacking posture, when you hear the sound of footsteps behind the city gate, you must fire arrows as a signal. Let the thirty front catapults in the starting formation adjust the height and distance of the shooting, and replace them with big rocks. Once the signal is seen,
Just hit the tower for me, I will completely destroy the tower within two volleys!"
Liu Zhong's hands were like flying, and the signal flag rolled back and forth in his hands. Mao Dezu nodded vigorously: "That's it. If you hit the tower directly, it will fall backwards because of the castration of the boulder.
, they will definitely be able to hit a large number of enemy troops under the city wall. They never imagined that there would be such a tactics!"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face swayed: "Very good, even if we can't knock down the city tower and hurt the Yan army below the city, we can at least destroy it at the top of the city. We can use throwing poles to fire stones, but
There is no need to go over so high. Before the elasticity of the throwing rod is exhausted, it can also cause great casualties to the sergeants behind the city. The people sent by the black robes to defend the city gate must be elite. If they can eliminate some, they can relieve other places.
The pressure!”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Let's start!"
Guanggu, inner city, city head.
Murong Lan breathed a long sigh of relief and saw that there were more than two thousand fully armed soldiers gathered inside the gate of Nancheng. They were different from the ordinary Yan Army soldiers wearing leather robes. These sergeants were all
They were heavy infantry with heavy armor and large shields, holding long swords. There were even hundreds of them, all the armored cavalry in the city. They rode urgently to the city gate area, and then dismounted and formed a formation, just in case.
Murong Lan looked in all directions and continued to run towards the sergeant at the city gate, saying: "It was really dangerous just now. Brother, you only left five hundred people at the city gate. It was too much. If the gate is destroyed at that moment,
If the Jin army rushes in, or quickly kills our crossbowmen, then the city may be destroyed."
The mask of the black robe was lifeless, and he said calmly: "I didn't expect that Liu Yu could use the method of alternating ice and fire to break through my iron gate. It seems that when he made weapons in that heavy supply camp, this quenching method also worked.
Research, but I have left a mechanism layout at the city gate. Even if he breaks the door, he can't get in. Even if he gets in, the city gate alone can't let the army enter and deploy, so it's useless, Liu Yu
You don’t understand this, but you are mobilizing troops at this city gate with great fanfare. Could it be..."
Having said this, he cast his eyes on the Jin army's formation in the distance. Suddenly, he found that the long-range catapults that had been motionless for a long time began to slowly change their angles, and their arms began to droop again. Many civilians were struggling to launch
Stones were carried from the nest.
The black robe lost his voice and said: "So that's it. He attacked the city gate just to ask us to concentrate our troops here. Then he used trebuchets to smash the city tower or the line behind the city gate, killing and injuring a large number of our troops' densely assembled troops. Hehe
,Alan, your man is really cruel."
Murong Lan shook his head: "On this battlefield, you are fighting to the death, in order to hurt the enemy first. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. Aren't we the same? In our position, we are more than three feet higher than outside the city.
, with a radius of more than ten miles, and an unobstructed view. If not, how could we see Liu Yu's every move?"
