Chapter 24 Zhong Ying's Siege of the City Abandoned Young Emperor Meng De's Sword and Conspiracy 3

The Science City in Nanye has been modeled on the Wubao for defense since the day it was built. There is not only a lot of food and grass in the city, but also a lot of equipment to defend the city. How can it be easily broken? Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and all kinds of siege equipment under the city, Nan Ye was not confused at all. Because of each kind of siege equipment, there are defensive equipment in the city.

Xiliang's military ladders and flying ladders climbed the city wall, and Nanye soldiers pushed down the ladder with a collision and fork poles. Xiliang's military rushed and crashed the city gate, and the city soldiers smashed it with rolling wood and stones. Xiliang's military nest car climbed high and fired arrows into the city, and the soldiers guarded the city shot the enemy with a crossbow. As for those soldiers who attack the city with ants, they are better to deal with, and a condescending rain of arrows can kill countless people.

Among the many city guarding equipment, the one that impressed Nanye the most is a rolling wood called Yecha ring. This city defense weapon is made of wet elm wood with a diameter of 1 foot and more than 1 foot long as a roller. The roller is densely nailed with a "reverse beard nail", and the nail head reveals 5 inches of wood, like an extra large mace. At both ends of the rolling wood, the wheels with a diameter of 2 feet are connected to the city head winch with iron cables. When the enemy soldiers gathered at the foot of the city, they smashed this thing heavily, and countless Xiliang soldiers were crushed to death, and there was no way to fight back. After one use, it can also be pulled back and reused with a cable winch, which is really sharp.

Before the invention of firearms, the soldiers defending the city had a great advantage with the help of various equipment. Even if the attacking party had excellent equipment, they had five to ten times the strength to have the hope of attacking the city. Dong Zhuo knew that Nanye had 3,000 soldiers, so he sent 50,000 troops. However, the defenders in the city suddenly became 20,000 elite soldiers, and Dong Zhuo's 50,000 soldiers were not enough.

Dong Zhuo and his generals were neither blind nor stupid. After only attacking for a while, they found that the city on all sides was leaking. Thousands of soldiers were buried under the city and wailed. Looking at the city soldiers who are energetic and skilled in tactics, where are ordinary people? It is clear that they are all elite soldiers. The key is that there are countless arrows in the city, and there are enough equipment to defend the city. It is not like preparing in a hurry in a day, but it seems that all kinds of equipment have been prepared for people to attack the city.

"Feng Xian, why are there so many soldiers in the city?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help asking Lu Budao.

Lv Bu was speechless when asked. He looked at the wall, and there were more than 5,000 defenders on this side of the wall where Nanye was located. If you add those soldiers who carry rolling stones and operate equipment up and down, I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of soldiers. 10,000 people on one side of the city wall and 40,000 on four sides of the city wall. Not to mention 50,000 Western Liang soldiers, even 50,000 troops in Luoyang City can't capture this science city.

Hua Xiong saw Lv Bu's face and advised Dong Zhuo with shame: "It is useless for the lord to scold the general at this time. It's getting late today. Why don't we stop the troops and discuss countermeasures for the time being and come back to the siege tomorrow.

Dong Zhuo had no better way, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After the war, more than 6,000 people were damaged in just a moment of siege. Compared with Dong Zhuo, Nanye, who defended the city, basically had no loss. There were only hundreds of casualties, and there were more injuries and fewer deaths.

Although there were not much casualties, Nanye was still very distressed. He saw the end of this battle. Every dead soldier is a living life. Even if he is used to life and death, Nanye still can't ignore life. He ordered the buried of the fallen soldiers, wrote down the names of each deceased with strong memory skills, issued pensions from family members, and tried his best to arrange the funeral of each soldier.

Dong Zhuo's soldiers are not so lucky, and they can climb back to the camp at night if they are not seriously injured. The seriously injured can only lie in the dead under the city and wait for death. There are no Geneva conventions these days, and there is no Red Cross rescue. Dong Zhuo will not take the risk of coming to the city to rescue the wounded. In his eyes, once the soldiers are disabled and can no longer go to the battlefield, they will become waste.

Although Nan Ye has always been gentle with enemy prisoners and wounded, it was when the victory was determined at the end of the war. He will not sympathize with the enemy during the war. In ancient wars, it was the victorious side that cleaned the battlefield, because the weapons and armor on the corpse were money, and even the arrows inserted in the corpse had to be pulled out for secondary use. Therefore, the defenders of the city will not let the enemy come to the city to collect the bodies until the end of the war.

Listening to the groans of those seriously injured outside the city, Nan Ye was so unbearable that he ordered Zhao Yun to lead a team of shooters to shoot the seriously injured Xiliang soldiers in the city one by one. At this time, instant death has become a kind of kindness for those who are seriously injured, otherwise they can only slowly lose too much blood and die in pain.

Nan Ye was busy with post-war work in the city. Dong Zhuo is discussing with the generals. Dong Zhuo in the handsome tent had a calm and fat face like a Shapi dog, and none of his generals spoke, especially Lv Bu, who was ashamed and bowed his head.

When Dong Zhuo saw that the generals did not speak, he asked, "Today's World War I misestimated the troops in Nanye City, and our army suffered a lot of casualties. Do you have a good strategy to break the city? Or should we stop the army?"

At this time, Lv Bu dared not boast about the main battle in Haikou and was still silent. Although Hua Xiong saw that the victory was clear and that the army should be withdrawn, he did not dare to say defeat for fear of angering Dong Zhuo.

Among the generals, Li Wei and Guo Yan followed Dong Zhuo for a long time and knew Dong Zhuo's temperament. After observing his words, Li Yu said, "Lord, although I was defeated today, it is not a war. It was because we misestimated the strength in the city and scattered heavy troops to attack the city on all sides. In my opinion, you might as well attack three sides and specialize in one side. The Science City is small, and there are not many soldiers and horses on one side of the wall. As long as one side of the city is exhausted, our army will win. If this plan doesn't work, it's not too late to recruit troops."

Dong Zhuo is indeed unwilling to lose a lot. If there is no good strategy, he can only withdraw his troops. Now that Li has come up with a plan, no matter whether this plan is good or bad, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, Dong Zhuo seems to have caught the life-saving straw and is determined to gamble again tomorrow. So he said to the generals, "It's reasonable to say it childishly. I don't know who is willing to lead the army to attack tomorrow?

Lv Bu's new investment in Dong Zhuo originally planned to make some contributions in today's battle, and also showed his ability in front of Dong Zhuo and the generals. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Nan Ye, and miscalculated that the soldiers and horses in the city led to defeat, which made Lv Bu feel aggrieved. He was really dumb and bitter.

At this time, listening to Dong Zhuo's general, Lv Bu got up and saluted, "I would like to lead the troops to fight Nanye again as the vanguard!"

Li Yu and Guo Yan then got up and said, "We are willing to help the Flying Bear Army first."

Dong Zhuo was very gratified to see that although he was defeated today, the generals under his command were still in momentum. He smiled and said, "Okay! Tomorrow's war will rely on you to work together to kill Nanye.

The next day, Dong Zhuo ordered his men to attack the city directly after a full meal, and no longer fought under the city. He estimated that no one in the army could talk about Nan Ye except Li Ru. The battle entered a white-hot stage at the beginning.

The generals under Nan Ye are not vegetarian. As soon as they came into contact, they found that Dong Zhuo had gathered troops to attack. Coincidentally, Lv Bu chose the direction of attack was the east gate guarded by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and I don't know if he did it on purpose.

At the beginning of the battle, it was still a battle between soldiers and soldiers, which was not much different from yesterday. The only difference was the strength of the attack. Yesterday, Dong Zhuo lost more than 6,000 people in the siege. Today, Dong Zhuo lost more than 5,000 people in a similar time as yesterday, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also lost nearly 1,000 people. It can be seen that the battle is so fierce that it is unparaly fierce.

In such a tense situation, Nan Ye naturally led his own guards to help the second general defend the city. The moat under the city has been basically filled with trench bridges by Dong Zhuo, and the ladders are almost lined up to build on the wall. The crash on the city took care of the left side and couldn't take care of the right side, and finally a ladder got up the wall. Xiliang soldiers stood at the head of the Science City for the first time and fought with the soldiers guarding the city.

Nan Ye remembered that Dong Zhuo's soldiers didn't even touch the edge of the wall yesterday, and the soldiers in the city were injured by the loss. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo attacked so desperately today, as if the soldiers' lives were like grass mustard. While ordering people to dispatch troops from three sides to help, Nanye asked Dian Wei and Zhou Cang lead their own guards to help the battle. In any case, he could not give Xiliang soldiers a chance to land in the city.
