Chapter 17 Zhonglang will be Pingnan Zhenyuan Zhao Zilong learns to go down the mountain 6
Yang Xu didn't quite understand Nan Ye's jokes, and he was not in the mood to joke with Nan Ye. Seeing that Nan Ye was determined to send troops tomorrow, he asked to fight, "The officers and soldiers have rested for two days, and their morale is booming. If the mage will attack the city tomorrow, please be the vanguard!"
Nan Ye took a look at Xi Zhi and saw him nodding behind Yang Xu. He said, "The Taishou is dedicated to killing the enemy and serving the country Ye admires him. Tomorrow, the Taishou will be the vanguard. The siege equipment created by our army can be used at will, and there is only one thing to be told to be told.
Yang Xuwen and martial arts. Nan Ye ordered him to be the vanguard to make him very happy. He arched his hand and said, "What does the mage have to tell you?"
Nan Ye said, "If the imperial guard breaks through the city tomorrow, don't kill and injure the people in the city, and the first evil will be killed." He said this because he was worried that Yang Xu would accidentally hurt Guan Hai's horse when he attacked the city.
Yang Xu is also an official who loves the people like a son. He bowed his hand and said, "With no mage's instructions, the subordinate officer will never do anything that harms the people. Even the rebel soldiers, as long as they are willing to abandon secretly and are willing to submit, the subordinate will not be killed. It's just that Zhao Cishen, a traitor, has a lot of soldiers. Tomorrow may be a hard battle, and he may not be able to fight down. Master, don't underestimate the enemy!"
Nan Ye smiled and said, "Those who get the Taoism are more helpless, and those who lose the Taoism are helpless. I advised Zhao Ci not to surrender for two days, but it was not useless. Maybe when we attack the city tomorrow, there will be a loyal man who is loyal to the court to help me? The Taishou went back and prepared wholeheartedly. Don't think too much about anything else. Tomorrow we will work together and attack the city with all our strength.
Yang continued to nod, agree with Nan Ye's statement, and then went out to prepare for the siege. Nanye has rested for more than a month and has been making ladders and other things for siege. Even if some are allocated to the sheep, it is still enough. Besides, the siege weapon of assassin Wang Min can also be used, so there is no need to prepare too much.
The next morning, he had a full meal, and Yang Xu began to lead his troops to attack the city. In ancient times, the siege of the city was usually surrounded by three walls and one by one, attacking only three sides of the city wall, leaving one side without fighting. This is not to sympathize with the enemy, but a psychological tactic that makes the defenders in the city see a glimmer of vitality and feel that there is a way to escape. In this way, the defenders will not fight to the death, and they always think that there is a way out. Once the war is unfavorable, there will be deserters.
Yang Xu also attacked the city according to the ancient method, attacking only the east, west and south walls, leaving the north gate without fighting. Although there are soldiers attacking the city on three sides of the wall, the troops put into the city are different. The troops on the east and west sides are less flaught, and the main purpose is to disperse the defensive forces. The main attack on the southern wall is the largest number of troops. This is also the arrangement made by Nanye, because he knows that Guan Hai is in Nancheng to assist in defense.
At the beginning of the siege, it entered a white heat. Although Yang Xu's clothes are shabby, his soldiers are bright and armored. It can be seen that Yang Xu is the kind of master who is stingy with himself and generous to his subordinates. No wonder he is supported by the soldiers.
Zhao Ci in the city knew that Master Nan Ye had not slept all night in the siege today and made full preparations. There are arrows and rolling wood in the city. Both sides were full of energy to fight, so the two armies killed them as soon as they came into contact.
The arrows on the city shot at the bottom of the city as if they were free, and the lives of the attacking soldiers were the same as free. They resisted the rain of arrows, biting steel knives, laying ladders, and climbing up the city wall.
The front soldier was shot into a hedgehog, and the back soldier was pushed up. The rolling wood and stones in the city smashed down, and the bones were broken, and the bad ones turned into meat cakes.
Nan Ye was shocked to watch after the military array. No wonder Sun Zi's military tactics said that he would attack the city. This siege was simply filled with human life. No wonder Xizhi let Yang continue take the lead. If he died on this battlefield, Nanye must die of heartache. Even if the siege soldiers have ladders, rushing cars, shields and other instruments, they still suffer great losses compared with the condescending defenders.
Nan Ye's visual assessment, it is good that the casualties of the three soldiers can be exchanged for the life of Zhao Ci, and the war loss ratio has reached three to one. Fortunately, Zhao Ci's soldiers have been consumed by Wang Min. There are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city, and they still have to guard four doors. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to get to the city.
Nanye often used the word "ant siege" when he was reading. At that time, he didn't feel anything, but now he finds how accurate the word is when he is on the battlefield. Those siege soldiers climb the wall like ants from afar, and their lives are as fragile as ants, and death will come to them at any time. This battle made Nan Ye realize that he would never fight a siege battle unless he had to. Even if you want to fight, you have to develop siege weapons such as wells and Thunderbolt vehicles first.
"Mage, the head of the dart has not raised an army yet. I'm afraid it's not enough power to attack the city. Zhao Ci has not called the people in the city to defend the city. It's time for me to wait for the arranged people to go." Xi Zhicai interrupted Nan Ye's thoughts with one sentence.
Ah? Do we have to wait for the soldiers to go? Isn't it like death? Nan Ye said everything in his mind.
Xi Zhicai curled his lips and smiled bitterly, "The mage's kindness is good, but the battlefield is so cruel, and casualties are inevitable, especially in the siege. Only by breaking through the city and winning, those sacrificed soldiers will not die in vain.
Master, please take a look. The soldiers of the sheep guard have begun to land in the city to hand over troops, and the moment of landing the city with the greatest casualties has passed. The mage took this opportunity to attack the city, and the casualties of the soldiers would not be too great. If the troops are withdrawn at this time, not only the soldiers who have been desperate before will all die in vain, but also the darts in the city will be dangerous.
How can Nanye not understand these principles? Every time he goes to the battlefield, he always has a feeling of involuntary. It seems that the words of kindness are right.
Nan Ye bit his back teeth and nodded his hair and gave orders: "Prepare to attack the city!" Zhang Bai's cavalry led the headquarters to attack the east gate, and Dian Wei led the personal guards to attack the west gate. Xu Huang led the whole army to help the sheep and eunuchs to attack the south gate. Zhou Cang left to protect me and Zhicai, and Han Hu wore a helmet!"
When the generals heard the words, they responded in unison and followed the order after a military salute. Han Hu reluctantly put on a one-horned helmet. The reason why he was unhappy was not to know that Nan Ye wanted to control him to go to the battlefield, but because he could no longer continue to watch people fight.
Seeing that the generals would disperse, Nan Ye also displayed the two skills of controlling the person and the divine eye. The whole soul floated on the head of Han Hu and used the star control handle to control Han Hu to follow Xu Huang to rush to the south gate.
There are 2,000 county soldiers led by Yang Xu, and Zhao Ci also has more than 2,000 soldiers in the city. If there is a confrontation on the flat ground, Yang Xu's elite county soldiers may not lose to Zhao Ci. But now Zhao Ci occupies the land, and the five-meter wall is like a heavenly chasm in front of the sheep.
Looking at his soldiers falling down the city one by one, Yang Xu's heart seemed to be dripping blood, but this battle could not be fought. War always kills people. Wang Min, the assassin, has killed and injured 5,000 soldiers. If this war continues, more people will die.
Yang Xu was ready before. Even if his two thousand people died in the city, as long as he could help Master Nanye break through the city, it was worth it, so he asked him to be the vanguard. But now that the casualties of the soldiers are so heavy, his heart is a little shaken. Yang Xu, who was a pioneer, had been listening behind him, waiting for the mage Nanye to sing gold or beat the drum.
"Dong~dong~dong~" A sound of drums behind him cheered Yang Xu's spirits, retreated with gold, and fought with drums. The sound of the rumbling of war drums showed that Master Nanye sent troops and his soldiers did not die in vain!
Sheep continued couldn't help looking back and saw that there was a black pressure behind him. First, one person put on a helmet and armor, majestic, sat down on the jujube red horse, and picked up the stone axe. On his side was a giant man. Although there was no war horse, he ran like flying. He held a big hammer and wore a one-horned iron helmet. The helmet covered the giant man's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and only a gold-drawn word "king" could be seen on one face.
Before the two fierce generals began to attack the city, Yang Xu heard the shouts of killing on both sides. It turned out that Zhang Baiqi and Dian Wei had begun to attack the city. These two are under the command of two special forces under Nan Ye's command, one is the mage's personal guard and the other is the yellow scarf heavenly soldier. These two elite soldiers had horses, but they began to attack the city one step ahead of Xu Huang, the leader of the soldiers.
Xu Huang naturally heard the shouts on both sides. He turned over and got off the horse with a huge axe and led 3,000 soldiers to rush to the south wall. With the addition of this new army, Yang continued to breathe a sigh of relief, and his soldiers also boosted their morale and rushed to the wall fearlessly.
