Chapter 471 Siege

"My lord! My lord! Enemy attack!"

Tadun, who was sleeping soundly, trembled, and with the sound of nails rubbing, Tadun jumped up instantly, and at the same time subconsciously picked up a long knife beside him.

In the past few days, Tadun has perfectly demonstrated the characteristics of a good general, eating and sleeping with the soldiers, guarding the city gate day and night, and constantly patrolling around to boost morale. If it weren't for Ta Dun's actions, Liucheng's soldiers might have collapsed without a fight!

"Where is the enemy attack? How many people are there in the enemy army?"

Shaking his dizzy head, he asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, at the east city gate, the enemy army has invaded massively. The number...the number is unknown!"

"Unknown?" Ta was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Be alert! Be on alert to prevent the enemy from raiding!"

The soldier who summoned the messenger smiled wryly: "My lord, don't be on guard, the enemy can't make a surprise attack!"

"Ok?"

"My lord, come and see for yourself!"

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Ta Dun stepped forward in doubt, walked to the edge of the city wall and looked out, and was shocked when he saw it!

The outside of the city was filled with densely packed troops. Because of the dark night, even the strength of a super general like Ta Dun was greatly affected. He could only vaguely see some people moving around. The exact number of troops is unknown!

"Are they crazy? How could they attack the city at night?" Ta Dun shouted in disbelief.

The impact of the night in the beacon on the army goes far beyond the fact that the line of sight is blocked. When fighting at night, the morale of the army will drop rapidly, the physical strength of soldiers will be exhausted, the combat endurance will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of command will also be greatly increased. Basic orders during the day are difficult to execute accurately and efficiently at night, and at the same time it is very easy to enter a state of chaos in the entire army.

Only the elite army is qualified to engage in night raids. Ordinary troops or generals are not capable enough, and launching a night battle rashly is likely to put themselves in a ditch, and they will collapse before encountering the enemy.

In siege warfare, attacking the city at night is even more unimaginable. Although the defenders will also be affected by the night, they occupy a favorable location and the adverse effects are greatly reduced. Attacking the city at night in a normal war still has a misty success rate, but attacking the city at night is tantamount to death!

Just when Ta Dun couldn't figure it out, he suddenly saw a red light coming from the enemy camp in the distance. The red light drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and under Tadun's gaze, it ruthlessly hit the city wall of Liucheng!

"boom!"

After a loud noise, Tadun only felt a slight shock under his feet, and a large piece of masonry fell down.

"Torchstone chariot?! They actually have a torchstone chariot?!" Seeing this scene, Ta was startled, and his mood quickly fell to the bottom.

Tadun didn't see many torch chariots, but the reputation of the torch chariots was overwhelming. If Shangji had a large number of torch chariots, then there was really no need for Liucheng to defend.

"Boom boom boom!"

The successive explosions made Ta Dun's face paler.

"No!" Suddenly, Ta paused for a moment, took a closer look, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Shang Ji was playing tricks, I thought they were all torch carts, but most of them are just ordinary catapults what!"

What Ta Dun said was true, Shang Ji took advantage of the fall of Guangzong City and bought sixty-four catapults. Only one of them is a torch stone cart, and the others are ordinary catapult carts.

This is the only one that Shang Ji exchanged from Lu Zhi at a high price. There is no such advanced thing in the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army. Shang Ji really wanted to get another city-breaking dragon cannon, but Lu Zhi refused to say anything.

If these more than 60 vehicles are all Jushi chariots, then there is no need to bother at all. A small and large city in Liucheng is not enough to withstand the onslaught of more than 60 Jushi chariots!

The power of a simple catapult is much inferior. It is okay to deal with small and medium-sized cities, but it is somewhat weak against large cities. And this number is a bit small, if there are more than a hundred units, you can try to attack.

"Pass down the order, the whole army will fight back, pull all the bed crossbows over, and mobilize the shooter troops, and teach them a lesson!" Ta Dun grinned grimly,

ordered loudly.

After thinking for a while, he paused and said again: "Order the three city walls in the south, north, and west to be vigilant, and beware of the enemy's plan to attack the west!"

"yes!"

"Since you want to die, you and I will fulfill you!" Looking at the Wuhuan soldiers busy on the city wall, Tadun sneered and whispered.

The catapult bombarded for half an hour, and the walls of Liucheng were riddled with holes, but they still stood firm.

Just like shooting a tank with a rifle, the upper limit of the attack is there. It is not that you can penetrate the tank with a pile of time, and there is not enough time to deal with it.

"Adjust the attack angle, abandon the wall, and aim at the guards on the wall!" Liu Yi gave up the plan of forcibly destroying the wall and switched to a strong attack!

"The bed crossbow moves forward to approach and attack, suppressing the enemy's counterattack!"

"Northern crossbows and Xingyao longbow march forward in formation, and Xingyao longbow suppresses the enemy's firepower on the wall!"

"Heavy Armored Crazy Saber advances, covering the rushing car to attack the city gate!"

"Climb the troop ladder first, Flying Claws get ready!"

"Other troops are on standby. Once the city gate is breached, attack immediately!"

Following Liu Yi's order, the troops mobilized one by one and rushed towards the city wall in an orderly manner.

Here, Xingyao Longbow has the most outstanding performance. The title of Liu Yi Xingyao's son only greatly reduced the side effects of night battles, and other armies were more or less adversely affected. However, for Xingyao Longbow, it can display 120% of its fighting power at night!

The Xingyao Longbow is famous for its ultra-long range. Under the blessing of the night, the Xingyao Longbow and the Wuhuan archers occupying a good location can perfectly suppress the enemy.

Forcibly forcing the Wuhuan soldiers to hide under the parapet wall, not daring to show their faces.

Under the cover of Xingyao Longbow, the siege troops slowly advanced to the edge of the city wall, and the chariots had already approached the city gate!

The siege vehicle used in this siege was a defective product. In fact, it was just a huge log with a few drums on it. It could not be called a regular siege machine at all.

Due to time constraints, the large pile of blueprints for siege equipment that Shang Ji had exchanged in Luoyang hadn't had time to realize them, so he could only temporarily rely on this backward simple equipment to attack the city.

But even so, he will be furious!

"Coward, fight back! Fight back quickly!"

Ta Dun shouted, reached out and grabbed a soldier's longbow, and shot an arrow towards the corner of the city.

A heavy armored mad knife below fell to the ground immediately.

Encouraged by Ta Dun, Wuhuan's soldiers also started to fight desperately, braving the rain of deadly arrows from Xingyao's longbow, and counterattacked one after another.

Rolling logs, lightning stones, and arrows rained down, and the casualties of the siege troops increased sharply.

Huang Zhong, who was with the Xingyao Longbow, turned cold, and looked intently at Tadun who was attacking madly, took out an arrow from his quiver, and slowly drew the Sun Shooting Bow to full capacity!

Concentrating on aiming, pouring true essence into the arrow, the bow is like a full moon, and when you loosen your fingers, the arrows are like a rain of stars!
