Wei Yong rushed up and immediately received He Mai's order. Next, the most important task of the wave of soldiers he led was to knock down the large wooden fence across the edge of the south city wall.
These wooden fences were set up on the back of the city wall. They were huge and it was not easy to achieve their goals by relying only on the kicking of war horses.
What's more, there are many antlers placed behind the wooden fence. These spiked antlers that are half protruding from the ground are deadly weapons for war horses.
Therefore, the task of tearing down the wooden fence could only be left to ordinary soldiers.
Following Wei Yongzhi's footsteps, the soldiers dismounted one after another, and while using their weapons to continue attacking, they rushed towards the wooden fence behind the low wall.
After Mucha, although the Qin soldiers did not have a general who could be called a general to formulate strategies and direct operations, the defensive methods of the Qin soldiers were still in place.
The soldiers who had shrunk back into the city, relying on the protection of the city wall and the Wengcheng bunker, were firing arrows non-stop.
In addition, the soldiers in the city who are constantly coming to support are also providing them with assistance, not only in terms of manpower, but also in terms of weapons.
Bag after bag of arrows were transported near the southern city wall. The Qin soldiers had sufficient weapons and could even attack continuously without stopping.
Therefore, in the face of the powerful enemy offensive, Wang Mi's artillery offensive and comprehensive fire coverage became particularly important.
At this time, being able to pull out one cart after another of artillery fully demonstrated Wang Shilang's foresight.
Seeing Wei Yongzhi's team, Wang Mi immediately dismounted and led his troops to join him.
Wei Yongzhi wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
The war horse had been released by Wang Mi long ago.
He said hurriedly: "Zhiyuan, it's too dangerous for you to do this!"
"The Qin soldiers' offensive is still very strong, and our army has not yet been able to control the situation. I think you should go to the rear."
To the rear?
How can that work?
When it comes to fighting, it's okay if the general doesn't go into battle. If he goes into battle, he must carry a gun with him. Otherwise, how can the morale of the soldiers be improved?
Why would all living beings risk their lives for a small battle?
"Just leave it alone, I have my own sense of discretion."
"My two teams join forces and we go to attack the city together!"
Wei Yongzhi said nothing, but he was still happy in his heart.
With Zhiyuan following, this battle is guaranteed to be won. This is nothing less than a generous gift for Wei Yongzhi, who does not have much battlefield experience.
On He Mai's side, when they saw Yong Zhi, Zhi Yuan all led their troops and rushed forward. They also strengthened their fire cover. The two sides cooperated tacitly.
Under the cover of strong firepower, the Jin army's infantry finally approached Mucha.
Among the many soldiers swarming in, Wang Shilang, dressed in fine armor, stood out.
In order to move quickly, he didn't even wear a bag, and even threw the light bow and arrow behind him.
They are all useless things!
It will only hold you back!
Whether to stay in Yecheng or return in triumph is not something Wang Mi can decide alone.
It also depends on whether God cooperates.
At this moment, Wang Mi even had his pistol empty.
There is no gunpowder, no lead bullets, just a lonely barrel.
Artillery, such a heavy weapon, naturally does not exist.
The only weapon accompanying Wang Shilang in attacking the city was a long sword.
It is completely prepared for close combat.
Wang Mi hoped that it would never be used on the battlefield in Yecheng.
Some soldiers finally climbed up the low wall. Compared with those infantrymen with the strongest physical strength, Wang Shilang's actions were slightly slower.
This is normal. The daily training of Beifu soldiers is very strict, and as the commander, Wang Mi is not embarrassed at all even though he marches and fights on a daily basis.
However, as the battle line stretched, Wang Shilang gradually showed signs of physical exhaustion.
Even so, he still rushed to the wooden fence with all his strength.
When the distance got closer, Wang Mi could clearly see the true height of the wooden fence.
It's indeed a bit bigger.
According to modern weights and measures, it is about 1.5 meters.
What's more, these wooden fences are extremely heavy. Just now, a row of Jin soldiers rushed up and climbed on the wooden fences to fight with the Qin soldiers inside the wall.
After several collisions, the wooden fence barely moved at all.
You can imagine its weight.
This won’t work!
There are many people, and there is great power!
Thinking of this, Wang Mi quickly reorganized his infantry team in front of the formation. Ten people formed a small team, shouted slogans, and rushed forward together.
The risk of doing this is very high!
Although the artillery team of the Jin Army has been providing fire support to the infantry, it has to be said that no matter how intensive the fire cover is, there will still be areas that cannot be taken care of.
Moreover, Qin soldiers are not idle people.
Their attacks were still very fierce.
As for the Jin army, the attacking team of the soldiers was relatively loose at first, which made the target of the Qin army's attack slightly smaller.
Now, the Jin army has formed into small teams. There is no doubt that such small teams will be particularly obvious in the eyes of the Qin soldiers.
They aimed at the target and kept shooting arrow clusters and stones at the Jin army brothers.
Some soldiers were knocked down, but more soldiers rushed up and quickly filled their gaps.
"one two three!"
"push!"
The soldiers repeated simple slogans and rushed forward in teams of ten.
This time, they no longer climbed the wooden fence, but just randomly found a point where they could exert force, and held on to it together with their companions.
Using simple slogans as instructions, they worked hard in one place and tried their best to achieve their goals.
The tall and heavy wooden fence gradually became shaky after suffering rounds of artillery attacks.
The huge impact of the artillery made the foundation of the wooden fence very unstable.
However, a simple artillery attack could not reach the point of shaking the wooden fence.
Those heavy big men were still standing there, blocking the Jin army's attack.
At the largest gap in the city wall, there are two giant wooden fences, and they are double-layered.
The Qin soldiers were not stupid. Of course they knew that the places with the largest gaps were the most dangerous and most vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Therefore, the only two largest wooden fences assembled from logs in Yecheng were moved to this location.
Now, as they expected, the Jin soldiers were unable to break through the double wooden fence.
The double wooden fences were connected together and relied on each other, which made it difficult for the Jin army to use force.
"Zhiyuan, it seems that just using human power won't work!"
"We have to find another way, and we have to do it quickly!"
The Qin soldier's spear poked out from the gap in the wooden fence and hit Wei Yongzhi in front of him. Old Wei picked up the spear and swept all the enemy's spears to the ground with one sweep.
The movement is so neat.
Wang Mi beside him was stunned.
Lao Wei is so skillful!
No wonder he was not allowed to go to the battlefield before, but was asked to see a doctor first. He was depressed and felt that he had suffered a big loss.
I see!
Wei Yongzhi took care of this group of people and immediately protected Wang Mi behind him.
Wang Mi saw that he was so impatient and did not delay any longer.
He immediately taught him a clever trick.
I saw him placing his ear next to Wei Yongzhi's big face and whispering a few words. Wei Yongzhi's brows began to frown, but then they relaxed.
After finishing speaking, he withdrew from the battlefield ahead.
And what about Minister Wang at this time?
Without Wei Yongzhi, there is no one around him who can directly provide protection. Wang Shilang is not from Hutu. Of course, he has to fight hard, but as the general, whether this army can win or lose, it all depends on him.
What about people?
How can you say that if you rush into the street, you will rush into the street?
Therefore, despite the fierce attack of the Qin soldiers, Wang Mi led his best soldiers and ran to join He Mai.
What he did this time seemed very unheroic.
Before the war begins, who is the one who will definitely be in trouble, never take a step back, and must rush to the front?
Of course it’s Mr. Wang!
Of course, the current Wang Shilang has not changed his original intention. He still wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is just a temporary measure.
He Mai didn't care. He understood Wang Mi's approach very well. When he saw him coming with soldiers, he immediately mobilized the soldiers of the artillery team.
Use firepower to cover them and provide them with cover.
"Amai, thank you!"
He Mai smiled, accepted the thanks gladly, and then continued to direct the battle.
The situation ahead is like this, and it won't change much in a short while. All hopes are pinned on Old Wei!

And what secret mission will Old Wei carry out?
Wei Yongzhi quickly left the battle formation and rushed towards the back of the queue.
And there, in addition to teams of well-trained and strong soldiers, there are even more majestic... war horses!
Wei Yongzhi jumped onto the horse's back. The next moment, he was commanding a group of soldiers and horses to rush towards the center of the battlefield again.
War horse, war horse!
You are indeed an indispensable weapon in the cold weapon era!
Without horses, you can't win a battle. Even if you barely win a few battles, you can't consolidate the results.
Now, Wang Mi has a profound understanding of this point.
The martial arts of these cavalrymen of the Jin army are definitely extraordinary. In addition to being proficient in using artillery, pistols and other new firearms, they are also not weak at all in traditional horseback fighting.
Nowadays, during the long-distance attack, the cavalry led the way, some shot, some fired arrows, and some honest people did not use these fancy gadgets.
He is just holding a knife in one hand and a spear in the other. Whoever dares to rush forward or appears in the middle of the road will be killed!
Reverse operation, it’s so slippery!
The Qin soldiers were poorly prepared. How could they have imagined that such a wave of cavalry would suddenly rush out in the midst of a peaceful and stalemate battle.
He is ruthless in his attacks, and every move is fatal.
There were not many Qin soldiers who broke out of the city wall, but now they were attacked by the Jin army from behind, and they were all killed immediately.
When Wei Yongzhi finally saw Wang Mi and others again, there were only a handful of Qin soldiers still fighting the Jin army in the battle formation!
Even, without bragging at all, there were many Qin soldiers who, seeing how powerful the Jin army was, simply threw away their weapons and turned around and surrendered.
"It's coming, it's finally coming!"
"Amai, you can rest for a while, and then you can fire off the artillery when we start to attack the city wall."
He Mai looked heavy and nodded seriously.
Not only He Mai, but everyone around Wang Mi, including the most ordinary soldiers and team leaders, all realized the importance of this moment.
This time, they are finally going to attack the city!
It's serious!
Very good!
This is long overdue!
If He Mai hadn't stayed behind to command the artillery team, he himself would have wanted to rush into the city and kill those evil beasts of Di Qin!
However, now, He Mai has his own mission.
That is to provide cover for the brothers who are attacking the city.
And this time, the siege force that Wang Mi had high hopes for was the cavalry team that followed Wei Yongzhi!
"Yongzhi, we will attack the city later. The method is very important."
"There are several rows of antlers behind the wooden fence. You know this very well, right?"
"Know."
"There are several rows. If the cavalry wants to rush through, I'm afraid they will lose a lot of horses."
"Indeed."
"So, this time, we won't rush to the city."
"Don't rush in?"
"What are we going to do?" Wei Yongzhi was confused. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, but their leader Wang Shilang's thoughts were changing even faster. It was really confusing.
"We only use the war horses to step on the wall. As long as we can use the impact of the war horses to break through the city wall and knock down the wooden fence, the next thing will be much easier to handle."
Everyone on the battlefield was an activist. Wang Mi and the others were discussing and moving towards the double fence.
Although Wei Yongzhi agreed happily, he still had doubts in his heart. He didn't even know how to attack the city or what the specific methods were.
Perhaps, if we want to find some shortcomings in Wang Zhiyuan, who is smart, wise, and versatile in both civil and military affairs, we can reach the point of finding fault with the eggs.
Then there is only one secret.
Wang Mi always handles things properly and takes good care of all aspects, but there is only one thing that is a little troublesome. With many things, as long as he gives a little guidance, the brothers can suddenly understand everything.
However, he chose not to do so, preferring to remain vague.
I just like being in the clouds and mist.
Therefore, the brothers could only follow this general who liked to play tricks on others.
Fortunately, Wang Shilang made very accurate choices every time, and the direction selection was generally correct, which indeed saved the army from making many detours.
I no longer care about Shilang Wang's little problems.
On the south city wall, the Jin army's offensive weakened slightly, and the Qin army discovered it immediately.
Who would miss such a good opportunity?
Some soldiers immediately returned to the warehouse and fetched tung oil and other supplies, and the soldiers in the rear immediately became busy.
Apply tung oil to the cloth strip, then tie it to the arrow and light it with fire. Isn't it a rocket?
The strength of the opponent can also enhance one's own combat effectiveness to a certain extent. Today's Qin soldiers use rockets, which are quite powerful.
As long as the production is successful, they will use it immediately without any delay.
Although the force value of this low-level rocket is not comparable to the artillery made by Wang Mi and others, it can still be regarded as a powerful weapon.
In particular, if the number is large, it will also cause great trouble to the Jin army.
Soldiers were injured one after another, and the offensive even came to a standstill.
Originally, Wang Mi had deployed troops and horses to fight He Mai, so the fire cover of the remaining soldiers attacking the city would be much weaker.
Now that the Qin soldiers have stepped up their offensive, the Jin brothers will surely fall into retreat.
