Chapter 691 Move 5 steps forward
The defense is broken,
Break the defense!
The Han army's surrender officers seemed not to persuade people to surrender, but to manipulate people's mentality.
However, the effect was also very good. Although most of the defenders had no intention of surrender, they were somewhat moved.
Of course, the vast majority of them break through the defense.
And morale, of course, dropped even lower.
Naturally, the officers of Daqian understood this situation, so they took charge and shouted.
"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"
Such an angry look not only did not improve morale, but actually lowered it.
However, the soldiers did not disobey the order and continued to draw their bows and arrows.
"Shhhhhhhh!"
The arrows flew randomly, some landed after flying ten steps, and some simply missed their destination.
In short, I release the arrow, and it depends on my fate whether it is accurate or not! !
In this regard, the commander-in-chief was helpless.
The commander-in-chief asked the soldiers to seize the bows and arrows, but the performance and command of the soldiers was even worse.
These generals had no choice but to manage such officers. They could only stabilize the morale of the troops while allowing the Han army to slander them.
Ah!
Although a lot of it is true.
But he is a government official, so slander is slander!
The people who persuaded the Han army to surrender were also interesting. One person said he was tired and then another person continued.
Over and over again, we talked about the policies of the Han army, the division of land, and the story of breaking defenses!
The main focus is a tactic of attacking the mind, attacking the mind, and attacking the mind again.
Moreover, after such chattering, the defenders were already sleepy, so some fell asleep while listening.
At this time, as the Han army had breakfast and the army began to gather, the soldiers who persuaded them to surrender began to retreat after saying their last words.
"Brothers from Jiangnan Camp, as long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, we will guarantee your safety."
"If there is resistance, it is a thief. Don't say that you were unprepared!"
A group of high-ranking military officers were immediately confused by just one sentence: "Be a thief."
Good fellow, I dare to say that the imperial court is a thief.
It’s really just a thief shouting to catch a thief! !
..................
At the same time, without giving any reaction to the defenders, the trebuchets were already showing off their power again.
This time, the boulder is thrown, and its main function is to knock the enemy's mind.
From yesterday afternoon to this morning, the whole night of indiscriminate bombardment must have been too much for the Daqian defenders.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Shhhhhh!"
With the roar of the boulders, two of the three boulders hit the city wall.
"Boom, boom!"
"what!"
One of the wall stacks was directly hit by a huge boulder. The several defenders who were hiding had no time to react because they were sleepy, or they were killed without even seeing it.
The debris flying everywhere also caused considerable damage to the surrounding defenders.
The screams, crashes, and shaking city walls completely woke up all the defenders and made them more energetic.
"Attack, Han army attacks!"
Everyone was excited as they watched the Han army begin to expand on a large scale outside, with dozens of large siege equipment slowly advancing.
Of course, those officers would not consider the fact that someone called the wrong name of the Han army.
At this time, the terms Han army and Han bandits no longer mattered.
Not to mention the ladders and trench bridges used in siege, the first thing to show its power is the trebuchet.
The trebuchet is no longer the small-scale fight it was yesterday afternoon and evening. Basically, every time it is thrown, it is a boulder of more than [-] kilograms.
Moreover, these stones are very accurate. At least three out of ten boulders can hit the city wall, and the rest will also hit the city or hit the root of the city wall.
Every time the city wall is hit by a boulder, it will inevitably cause a slight shaking, and people in the distance will feel a slight vibration under their feet.
The casualties may not be many.
But this kind of continuous smashing of boulders is really too exciting!
Because the three trebuchets were not launched at the same time, huge rocks and shotguns were flying all over the sky without interruption.
So much so that the defenders on the wall had to be careful about their heads while keeping an eye on the Han army below the city.
"Rumble!"
"Fire arrows!"
Seeing the Han army's trench bridge shield car taking the lead, arrows rained down on the city wall.
"Did you see the archers? Shoot wherever you can!"
For these places, the trebuchet will take care of it gently.
"call out!"
"Boulder, avoid!"
"boom!"
The long-range attack has already begun before the melee soldiers come into contact with each other.
boom!
As the trench bridge completely fell, the ladder that followed also began to advance slowly.
The Han troops attacking the city were all wearing armor and each held a shield. They followed the ladder step by step and slowly approached the city wall under the cover of the shield cart.
"Adjust the trebuchet, don't hit one of your own!"
"Covered by scattered bullets, cover the soldiers as they attack the city!"
For a time, the trebuchet began to replace the shotguns and suppressed the defenders on the city wall, making it impossible for the enemy to fully reinforce the ladder.
"boom!"
"Quick, quick, don't stop!"
The ladder hit the city wall heavily, and the warrior hiding behind held up his shield and bit his knife and rushed upward quickly!
"Trebuchets strike on both sides to prevent enemy reinforcements."
"Archers, cover a wave of arrows, don't let enemy reinforcements pass by!"
The Han army was very familiar with the battle to defend the city.
So when it comes to siege warfare, although they are not very familiar with it, they at least have experience in dealing with the troops defending the city.
Therefore, trebuchets and archers will exert all their strength to suppress the location of the wall and create as many opportunities as possible for the troops to climb the wall.
When the ladders are set up on the city wall and the soldiers begin to climb the wall, they must continuously attack on the outermost sides to block enemy reinforcements and ensure that the soldiers break through quickly and gain a firm foothold.
"Kill!"
In just a few breaths, dozens of soldiers climbed onto the wall, and follow-up troops also landed continuously.
As for resistance, although there is some resistance, there is not much left after being beaten down at the very beginning.
"Array, attack!"
After climbing onto the city wall, the soldiers immediately formed formations and began to attack from both sides to expand the landing area and create enough footholds for subsequent reinforcements.
"It went very well. The attack team has successfully climbed onto the wall and gained a foothold. We have basically won!"
Wei Yuan, the division commander, nodded, "It's too early to say this, let the vanguard troops speed up."
"Trebuchet moves forward fifty steps!"
Just after giving the order, Wei Yuan waved his hand fiercely.
"Wait a minute, the trebuchet doesn't move, increase the range and throw shotguns into the city to ensure the steady advancement of our army!"

"I Earn Merit by Coding", this is barely considered an autobiography by a Taoist priest. It's quite interesting. You can read it, but don't believe it, otherwise you will easily become a psychopath.
