After Xu Da reported today's battle news, he took a deep breath.
I never expected that the Wu Chao army would be so fierce now.
It is in sharp contrast to the weak image of the past.
"Thirty thousand..."
Wu Meng frowned, not daring to imagine.
In a close fight, thirty thousand people were lost.
"No wonder Wu Dynasty dared to launch a large-scale war against Dongwu. It seems there is a reason!"
Sigh.
Xu Da nodded and continued: "Old Marshal, if we continue to fight like this, one hundred thousand people will not be enough!"
He was the one who suggested sending troops in the first place, but now he regrets it.
Wu Meng said: "Since the Wu Chao army has strong combat effectiveness, we should not take the initiative to attack!"
This is not fear, but a strategy.
Waiting for work with ease.
Xu Da nodded, feeling that it made sense.
What's more, Hucheng is a fortified city and cannot be easily broken.
"It seems that the Wu Dynasty is really different and has risen again..."
Wu Meng's eyes suddenly became a little deeper.
Xu Da lowered his eyes and didn't say much, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
In this way, the two armies once again formed a confrontation in the air.
He never took the initiative to send troops again.
From Wu Meng's point of view, the Wu Dynasty army would lose their composure fighting in a foreign country. Who would have thought that it would backfire!
After experiencing the battle on the plains, it was another month of waiting.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
On Jiang Ning's side, Shen was angry because he had included Changjiao Mountain and other places in the Wu Dynasty's territory, so there was nothing to worry about fighting on his own territory.
Also, the two big guys that Jiang Ning is going to build have not yet been completed...
This has only been delayed for another month.
Time flies like water, half a month has passed...
On this day, three ladder trucks were completed and stood majestically.
From a distance, it gives people a daunting feeling.
With this big guy, the next siege battle will be much easier.
The soldiers of the Wu Dynasty were even more eager to try.
Of course, Jiangning satisfies everyone’s curiosity and everyone can visit it.
Wu Hemo and other generals' admiration for Jiang Ning was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.
Naturally, they all know the horror of this ladder truck.
As long as the ladder truck is close to the city wall of Hucheng, even if the city wall is not broken, it will still be like walking on flat ground.
Darling, the great talent of Emperor Wu...
Jiang Ning will inevitably send his army eastward while ensuring that the food, grass and baggage are fully supplied.
He is now like a spark that is gradually starting a prairie fire.
It's also like an entrepreneur, after stabilizing the income of one store, he opens another store.
Slowly and steadily...
Another point is that as long as the war does not spread to the territory of the Wu Dynasty, the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment.
In this way, Jiang Ning personally trained a team of soldiers.
The function of these soldiers is to push the ladder truck to the bottom of Hucheng City after the battle begins to pave the way for the army in the rear.
It's a bit like today's bridge-building and road-building troops.
After making all preparations, Jiang Ning personally took command and launched the siege.
Beat the drums and start the war...
The sound of the drums was dense and dense, just like the violent storm.
Sweeping in all directions.
Wu Meng and Xu Da led a group of generals to climb the tower.
Looking not far away.
The Wu Dynasty army had already formed an array of 50,000 people, and it was a dense mass of darkness and surging momentum.
Such a military appearance made Wu Meng a little moved, and sighed, "It's completely different from back then!"
"The current Emperor Wu is different!"
Xu Da frowned, "Everyone in the world is saying that Emperor Wu is stupid, debauched and immoral, but is this true?"
"It is impossible for a dissolute and immoral emperor to have such an army!"
Wu Meng said in a deep voice, word for word.
If he had been twenty years younger, perhaps he would have regretted it, but as of now, such regret no longer exists.
As the supreme commander-in-chief of Tobu, he naturally dedicated himself to his country and died!
"Forget it, stop talking and get ready to defend the city!"
"yes!"
With a command, all the lieutenants entered their posts.
As Jiang Ning waved his sword, the army advanced forward in unison.
The earth trembled.
The buzzing sound is constant.
Tons tons tons…
All the catapults have been launched, hitting the Tiger City!
It has to be said that Tiger City is very strong, and even rocks thrown at it did not damage it at all.
The army advanced and stopped outside the bow and arrow range of Hucheng.
The troops responsible for siege launched an attack.
The war started again, and within a short time, it was filled with smoke.
If you want to defeat Tiger City, you may have to pay a heavy price by using normal siege methods.
Just like that, all kinds of boulders and flying arrows flew down from the tower.
Soldiers from the Wu Dynasty continued to fall...
In the battle of siege, human life is like grass.
When Jiang Ning and Wu Hemo saw each other, their eyes dropped. It was so painful.
"Send out the ladder truck immediately!"
Jiang Ning did not want to watch the casualties increase further.
"yes……"
Wu Hemo blew the horn himself.
"Woo——"
resounded throughout the three armies.
After a while, three ladder trucks slowly appeared in the sight of the two armies.
Although the movement is slow, the distance shrinks again and again.
When they got a little closer, both Wu Meng and Xu Da saw it.
Both of them looked horrified...
"What is that?" Xu Da was shocked.
In this world, most siege weapons are catapults, log carts, and ladders... There are no such fortress-like ladder carts at all.
Wu Meng was horrified, "I have been fighting all my life, but I have never seen such a big man!"
"What is it for?"
As the distance gets closer…
The ladder truck is vaguely flush with Hucheng.
Only now, their spirits were shaken, did they understand what was going on!
The big guy is used to attack cities!
Wu Meng realized it later, reacted and roared, "Quick...stop it, don't let it get close!"
"Set fire, burn it!"
Many people upstairs were shocked.
Shooting rockets densely.
Because the ladder truck is covered with a layer of iron blocks that is not densely packed on the outside, even if it is so, if the rocket hits it, it will fall off directly and cannot ignite...
In response to this, Wu Meng's heart beat as fast as a drum, "Quick, find a way to destroy this big guy, we must not let him move forward again!"
But contrary to expectations, they were still moving forward and were only about ten meters away from Tiger City.
At the same time, the catapults were still attacking.
The three big guys caused chaos among the guards on the tower.
After all, it was my first time to see such a big guy.
The Wu Dynasty army below the city tower surged towards the city gate like a tide.
Swinging the log, it hit violently.
There are also some people holding up the ladder.
A thrilling siege battle began.
Jiang Ning was watching not far away, and felt that the time was almost up, so he asked Wu Hemo to blow the horn again.
The thousand-gold guard hiding in the ladder quickly climbed to the top, lined up and attacked with crossbows.
Because this scene happened so quickly, many people on the tower fell into a pool of blood before they could react.
Sharp short arrows shot away the Tobu guards!
Naturally, none of them thought that there was someone hidden in the ladder truck...
