Geng Zhongming's preparation work was very thorough. On the second day, as soon as he felt a little warmth, 10,000 elite troops began to forcefully cross the stone bridge. Due to the limited troops in Meisuda City, they simply gave up the stone bridge defense line and retreated.
Entering the city of Mesuda, there was no obstruction from the Germans. Before noon, Geng Zhongming's troops successfully advanced to the bottom of the city of Mesuda.
Ladders, ramming vehicles, crossbows, and other siege equipment were all prepared. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers formed a powerful formation and stood outside the city of Mesuda. The German soldiers all showed horrified expressions. With so many siege equipment, especially
Those trebuchets were lined up in a row. A rough estimate showed that there were more than a hundred of them. They were just the first batch of siege troops. There were tens of thousands of elite soldiers carrying so many equipment. The German soldiers didn't know how to defend them.
Mesouda City.
What Geng Zhongming wanted was this effect. He did not need to fight, but first created endless pressure on Mesoda City. These siege equipment were actually collected by assembling the entire coastal army. However, Geng Zhongming still pretended not to feel distressed, as if
These siege engines are only a small part.
Looking at the Mesuda City in front of him, Geng Zhongming said nothing and ordered the lieutenant general, "Disperse all the troops, and the shield bearers go forward to be on guard, and be sure to guard the trebuchets and other equipment. Place all the trebuchets in the south of the city, and put the prepared stones
Throw all the snowballs, and when all the rocks and snowballs are thrown, the ground troops will launch an attack. Be careful, don't enter the city."
Geng Zhongming had to emphasize again. He was deeply afraid that his subordinates would fight hard and rush into Mesuda City in a swarm. In that case, how could they use Mesuda City to mobilize the army from Pusk City?
Trebuchets were placed on the south side of Mesuda City. Seeing so many trebuchets aimed at the city head, Camioto, the commander in charge of the defense of the southern city, swallowed dryly. It was really terrible. The power of the trebuchets.
He has seen it before, but there is no good solution at the moment. The Easterners' artillery has been improved and has a longer range. The old-fashioned crossbows of the city can't reach it, let alone the bows and arrows.
Camioto racked his brains to think of a way, but Geng Zhongming would not give him time to think. With a roar, hundreds of trebuchets mixed with anger began to wildly throw stones and snowballs towards the city.
When they fell, many of them went over the top of the city and directly hit the houses in the city. Many houses in Mesuda City were made of wooden structures. When they were hit by rocks and snowballs, a large hole was directly exposed.
Previously, the defenders of Mesuda City had never thought that they would be hit by so many trebuchets, so they did not prepare enough hiding places. Facing the whistling stones and snowballs falling from the sky, more Germans could only tremble.
Shivering, they hid under the battlements of the city, leaning against the wall, praying constantly that the snowballs would not fall on their heads. What the German soldiers were most afraid of were these big snowballs. Because they were sprinkled with water and frozen, they became hard.
It's like an iron block, and several times larger than an ordinary stone. If the snowball falls down, everyone around it will suffer.
Werther was holding a steel knife tremblingly, his face as pale as paper. Just now, he saw with his own eyes that a companion was hit by a snowball, his head retracted halfway, and the white brain merged with the big snowball, and some
The snowball scattered directly after it hit the ground. More and more scattered snow pieces slowly filled the entire south city wall. Camioto was at his wits' end. This was something that could not be stopped by manpower. Seeing that the trebuchet did not stop, he
Finally made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Let people evacuate the city wall quickly, leaving a hundred-man team to monitor the enemy troops outside the city. When the enemy attacks the city in a big way, all the troops will return to their defensive positions. Damn it,
We need reinforcements, but why is there no news about reinforcements yet?"
Phew, Camioto was still cursing, but suddenly he was stunned. A Germanic warrior hunched over and tried to escape from the corridor. As a result, he was hit by a stone, and his back was directly sunken, like a
Natural pit. Taking great risks, the German soldiers finally withdrew into the city in batches. However, Camioto was not happy. More and more snowballs and stones fell in the corridors of the city wall, especially those snowballs. Once scattered,
If it melts, it will be a puddle of ice water, which will bring huge trouble to the city defenders. The trebuchet offensive lasted for half an hour. When the Northern Shanxi Army launched the first round of ladder offensive, the German soldiers finally returned to their own
defensive position.
However, the current city wall has long been changed beyond recognition, many battlements have been smashed, and the corridors are full of broken snowballs. Under the sunlight, it slowly melts, and waves of icy cold air rush from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. Before
We prepared a lot of large iron pots for boiling water. Now they are all ready. They were all smashed by the trebuchet. Many iron pots were smashed with big holes. How can we boil water in this situation?
Camio Tuo was very depressed. He originally learned this trick from the Easterners, and wanted to use this method to deal with the Easterners. Unexpectedly, it was turned into a pile of scrap metal before it was put to use. Looking at the Shanxi Army under the city
The crowd rushed forward, and Camio shouted angrily, "Take out the stones and return them all to the Orientals, so that they can feel like they are being hit by stones too."
Camioto already hated the Easterners. These people were so wicked. They threw the siege equipment at the top of the city without hesitation. The Northern Shanxi Army advanced very fast and rushed there in the blink of an eye.
At the bottom of the city, because the Germans could not organize a large-scale rain of arrows, they could only let a series of ladders stand at the top of the city. They became anxious, and the Germans carried the snow and stones next to them and threw them down. This was also the case.
No more indecency.
After being hit hard, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army below the city were also damaged a lot. What made Camioto furious was that after just one round of blows, the Oriental people left the ladder and ran back. What on earth is going on?
Son, the German soldiers on the city wall who were ready to fight were all confused, with big question marks hanging on their foreheads. What on earth are the Easterners doing? When did their fighting will become so weak?
Camioto didn't think that the Orientals were so careless and threw down the ladder when running away. This was obviously something wrong. He was inexplicably afraid. He quickly took a telescope and looked around. Suddenly, he noticed something. It was a trebuchet.
, those trebuchets have not been withdrawn yet, they are still placed firmly on the battlefield, no good, Camioto felt a thump in his heart, and regardless of the image, shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, withdraw quickly, hurry up...
..”
Unfortunately, Camioto's reaction was still a little slow. When he warned, the German soldiers saw a dark cloud flying above their heads, and stones fell again. You know, in order to deal with the attack of the Easterners, everyone
At the predetermined position, everyone was exposed to the attack of the trebuchet. Stones fell one after another, and for a while, there were wailings all over the city. Some soldiers were hit, and their whole heads were broken. There was a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere in front of them.
Broken limbs, blood, and internal organs were everywhere. The Germans were stunned by the sudden blow. Everyone wanted to escape, so the scene became more and more chaotic, turning into a corridor of blood.
Camiotus drew his broadsword and kept calling to the centurions and other military commanders, trying to maintain the situation. The hateful Easterners knew how to play tricks, and they didn't even throw all the stones up, just waiting for the German warriors.
Show off your power during the battle. The so-called siege is just forcing the German warriors to enter the city.
Under such a blow, the Germans suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the trebuchets soon stopped firing. Seeing the trebuchets being pulled out of the battlefield, Camioto finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the fatal trebuchets were withdrawn.
Let's go, it will feel much better next. Taking stock of the casualties, I almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. In this moment, nearly two thousand Germanic warriors were smashed to death. There were corpses everywhere on the city top. Most of them were said to be bloody.
Some were even pressed down by several rocks.
The Germans had no time to grieve, let alone dispose of the corpses, so the Northern Shanxi Army launched a new round of attack. This time it was obviously different from the last time. The ladders were erected, and the ramming trees also entered the attack position under the protection of shield soldiers.
, began to attack the south gate.
Boom, with the blessing of the ramming car and the combined force of more than 40 people, the thick south city gate made a painful sound. This painful groan reached the ears of the Germans, leaving only fear, "Smash it, smash it to death"
These Orientals, prepare the kerosene and throw it down to burn the rammer."
As the commander's voice sounded, the panicked Germans gradually became orderly, and they continued to fight according to the orders. The kerosene poured out, and the ramming car turned into a train, and the surrounding soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army could only scatter in all directions.
After escaping far away, the crisis at the South City Gate was temporarily relieved, but the pressure on the city wall was increasing. In order to create enough pressure on Mesuda City, Geng Zhongming thought of many ways. Of course, he used a ladder to climb up the battlements without paying the price.
It's impossible.
Many soldiers of the Northern Shan Army died under the stones on the city head. Those stones thrown up have now become the most powerful weapon for the Germans to defend the city. Mei Ziqian, the captain of the capital, raised his head and looked at the situation of the siege. He saw that the city had been lost.
There were dozens of brothers, but they still couldn't climb up to the top of the city. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Mei Zigan tightened his belt, pulled out a steel knife and grabbed a shield from a soldier, "Guard Battalion, come with me. If today
If we don't attack the city, no one will be able to go back."
Mei Zigan took the lead, and others did not dare to neglect. The siege battle soon entered a fierce stage. Relying on his courage, Mei Zigan quickly climbed up. When he was near the city head, he took out a porcelain jar from his waist and used it.
After the fire stick was lit, it was thrown upwards. With a bang, a burst of light burst out from the top of the city. There was a lot of kerosene in the jar, and the Germans also saved a lot of kerosene in order to defend the city.
Suddenly, the Germans in this section of the city were in a hurry. Some were busy putting out fires, while others were busy fighting.
There was chaos at the top of the city, and Mei Zigan rushed forward. Camiotu was sweating profusely and commanded. When he saw a junior commander from the East rushing up, he quickly led his people to rush over. This gap must be blocked. Once it is blocked,
If it expands, the southern city wall is bound to fall. If he can't hold it for even one day, then he can go home and raise pigs. How can he have the dignity to be a captain?
Not many people were able to rush to the top of the city. Although Mei Ziqian took the lead bravely, he was outnumbered and fought for a quarter of an hour. He could only escape from the city with injuries. Not long after Mei Ziqian's troops withdrew, there was a sound from behind.
Tongluo. The army of the Northern Shan Dynasty retreated slowly. Smoke billowed from the top of the city and it was a mess. Camioto collapsed on the top of the city exhausted. He didn't know how long he could hold on.
The attack of the Orientals was so crazy. With a large number of trebuchets and brave soldiers who were not afraid of death, they could survive today, and they might be able to survive tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow? What is the situation in Mesuda City? Camioto knew very well that here
Most of the Germanic soldiers came from the southern blacksmith families and the Kingdom of Lorraine. The only ones who could be truly considered elite were the more than 2,000 black-headed infantrymen from the Danube forces.
The combat effectiveness is uneven, and his Camioto status is not enough, so he is destined to be unable to completely control the Mesuda City garrison. After Quillens defeated Cen Weibok, the Mesuda City garrison has become disabled. In addition, Mesuda City is compared to the other two.
The city is not that important, so Lothair, Sugus and others did not send elite cavalry over at all. With the current situation of Mesuda City, trying to survive for five days is a daydream, and the Easterners are really treated as soft persimmons.
?
Reinforcements, reinforcements were necessary. Letters for reinforcements were sent out one after another, but there was still no reply. Camioto could only wait patiently. At this time, there was already a quarrel in Pusk City, and the situation in Mesuda City had already reached Pusk.
City, around whether to rescue the city of Mesuda, the Pusk garrison was divided into two groups. Sugus looked at the several commanders under his command with a headache. He did not blame these people. The previous lessons were still vivid in his mind. Everyone must not
Deal with it carelessly.
Do the Orientals need to dispatch nearly 100,000 troops for the sake of a Mesouda city? There is obviously something wrong here, and Sugus doesn't want to fall into the Oriental's trap. Seeing that the two sides are arguing and are ready to fight if they disagree, he has no choice but to
He stood up and said loudly, "Shut up. Now that the enemy is facing us, we don't think about how to meet the enemy. We are still fighting over a little dispute. No matter what the intentions of the Easterners are, we cannot ignore Mesuda City. Manstein, you must assemble your troops immediately."
Ma, we will go out of the city in the afternoon to reinforce Mesouda City. Remember, we must make a loud noise and give the illusion that the main force is rescuing Mesouda City. I want to see what kind of medicine the Orientals are selling in the gourd. Hum, it really hurts us.
Do you think you are a fool?"
"Yes." Although Manstein felt unhappy, he did not dare to blatantly disobey Sugus's order. Didn't this make him a bait? If the Orientals really dug some traps ahead, then Manstein would become a bait.
Unlucky guy. Some people looked at Manstein with gloating. Sugus also knew that this arrangement was a bit unkind, so he said in a kind tone, "Be careful in everything. If something unexpected happens, you can withdraw immediately."
