Abb *** is very confident in the field combat strength of his elite cavalry. He has every reason to believe that only 20000 cavalry is enough to defeat the enemy troops who came to reinforce.

After preparing to fight against the reinforcements, Abu *** can concentrate on preparing to attack the city of Al. 80000 Armed Forces attacking the defenders only has a city of 20000, which has a certain strength advantage, but the strength comparison is also only. Only four times, the advantage is still not big enough, and the soldiers and horses defending the city have prepared advanced weapons, and all kinds of defense equipment are relatively complete. It is not easy to capture such a city.

However, Abu ’s biggest advantage is that his troops are all veterans, and the enemy defending the city is basically all recruits. This gap is the biggest, and his heart is more vicious, his Features that opponents do not have.

Attacking the city with 4 times the force, it is certainly not enough to fill up with human life alone, you must have a large number of siege equipment, otherwise, the siege will become a deadly action.

In order to reduce the losses of his troops, Abu *** naturally needs to build a large number of siege equipment. Under the rush of marching, in addition to the most basic equipment under the shield, most of the equipment is still on the way. It takes many days to arrive, and in order to reduce casualties, they also need to manufacture a larger number of siege equipment, so a large number of soldiers and horses began logging and building large siege equipment. In addition, in order to increase progress, they forced Plundered a lot of manpower from the surroundings and forced these 100 old people to work, otherwise they would be beaten up until they were gone.

These 100 surnames with artisan skills can participate in the construction of siege equipment, and those without technology can also log and transport. In short, as long as they can work, in addition, these forced 100 people will have more important uses .

Aercheng’s defensive soldiers are also actively preparing, one side is preparing to attack, and the other is preparing to defend, both sides are working hard, preparing to make the other party pay a heavy price.

After being completely surrounded, the soldiers and horses of Al City can no longer go out, and even the cavalry team that won the first battle is tied up in the city, because there are too many enemy soldiers and horses outside the city. If this is the case When they go out to look for opportunities, they will be annihilated. If they are light cavalry, they are fast enough to avoid the enemy ’s large-scale siege.

Sitting in Artik and the others in the city of Maia, they soon learned the fact that the northern city of Al-Ah was besieged by the enemy, which made them feel pressure, but because most of the soldiers and horses in their city were infantry, Once out of the city, reinforcements are likely to be surrounded by the Khorasan cavalry who has the advantage of force, and thus be completely annihilated. In order to avoid such a fate, they can only choose to watch the wall and send a small number of cavalry teams to the surrounding A small number of Khorasan cavalry carried out a targeted strike to eliminate the enemy’s vital forces.

There are several 1000-person cavalry troops in Maia City. These cavalry units can leave the city at any time to harass the enemies in the north. After they are tired, they can return to Maia City to rest and let the energetic cavalry units continue to harass the enemy. So as not to make a force too tired.

“It seems that our previous predictions were accurate. Abu *** really chose to siege the city of Al in the north. Fortunately, we have transported a large amount of military products and grains into Al city earlier. Otherwise, the pressure to defend the army will be greater Now. “

Artik said happily.

“Al City has 20000 soldiers and should be able to defend the city. Even if the city is finally broken, it will certainly be able to hit the elite cavalry of Abu ***. As long as the elite of Abu *** loses a lot of power, the soldiers of Al City There will be no sacrifice. “

The subordinate said.

Obviously, some people still believe that Al City will not be able to defend. After all, 20000 recruits who have no combat experience, when faced with elite warriors and horses, the psychological pressure is already very great, and the pressure to maintain the city for a long time is even more. Big, so, the city is likely to be broken, but it ’s just a matter of time that ’s all, the more prepared the weapon the more the better, the lower the probability of the broken, the longer it will last.

“All we can do now is to send cavalry to harass the enemy. The infantry can’t move around the cities. It depends on their own luck. Order cavalry out of the city in batches!”

Altick spoke ordered.

“Yes, the lord.”

The subordinate responded.

Soon, a 1000-person cavalry team left from the city gate of Maia City. This horse and horse carried food and food for about ten days, that is, they would return to Mai after ten days. Yacheng is closed to maintain continuous combat capability.

Maiya City has 3 cavalry units. Departing one unit every 3 days can form a good continuous harassment capability. The cavalry horses stationed in the remaining cities and regions also need to travel to the north to harass and attack elite. The Roshan cavalry made Hulushan cavalry exhausted and suffered heavy losses.

In addition, in the northern village of Aar city, there are also a small number of horse-riding soldiers. If these soldiers suddenly cut off the food path of Abu ***, the consequences will be very serious, but they have too few soldiers and horses. It may not be too effective.

Armed Forces under Abb *** made rapid progress. A large number of siege equipment were built in a few days, and they were ready for the first round to attack Al City.

The feint attack task is commanded by Ziyad personally. The soldiers used to attack are less than 20000. The attack is divided into 4 directions and launched attacks from different directions at the same time, in order to distract the attention of defensive Armed Forces and to test the combat strength of defensive soldiers and horses.

There are 8000 attacks on Armed Forces to the north of Ziyad, and there are fewer offensive troops in the other directions. Anyway, it is just a feint, but it is not really an attack.

There are many types of siege equipment for attacking, such as ladders and shields, as well as catapults and other weapons. Soldiers are also elite soldiers and horses, and their defense level is still very high.

Ai Bu *** and the guard Zema stood far behind, while Ziyad went deeper, but he chose to stay out of the bow and arrow range of the fortified weapon to avoid being inadvertently attacked. In that case, he would lose money.

Qi Yade looked at the densely packed enemy defenders on the city’s head, and felt a trace of tension and pressure in his heart. The advanced Great Tang Fu Yuan crossbow equipped by the opponent left a deep impression on him, and this is his known powerful weapon , Will there be more powerful Great Tang weapons? This problem bothered Ziad. 10000 Great Tang provided them with more powerful weapons to defend the city. Then would n’t they have suffered heavy casualties, and the tentative offensive could really try out all the defensive strength of the defender. ? This is not necessary. If the attack is not strong enough, the defense will not feel the pressure, and some defensive weapons may not be used.

Therefore, in order to set out all the defensive weapons of the defending side, Ziyad decided to launch a more violent attack, even if it was a feint, must also play the imposing manner of the attack, so that the defensive enemy trembling in fear had to take out all the defense In this way, his feint aim is achieved.

“Submit the order and prepare for the siege.”

Ziyad issued an aggressive command to attack.

Soon, thousands of siege horses pushed various weapons and started a fierce attack on Al City. At the same time, various siege equipment began to throw stones of various sizes into the city of Al City. wall, and it is an attack launched simultaneously in 1000 directions, so it is violent enough to make the new soldiers who defend the city panic.

Before Ziyad’s offensive soldiers and horses opened their offensive formations, the defenders of the city also began to prepare for the corresponding defense. Considering that the recruits would be nervous, so among the defending horses and horses, try to draw veterans to defend, as long as they fight After that, the recruits became veterans, so that the step-by-step approach was the most secure.

The siege soldiers must first cross the moat before they can attack from the city wall and city gate. The moat is relatively wide with water on the facade and a considerable depth. It is a very useful defensive facility.

There are many ways to break through the moat, such as erecting a ladder on the moat, soldiers can pass through the ladder, but the effect of this method is not very good, because heavy siege equipment cannot pass through the ladder, and, the siege soldiers Carrying a ladder through a ladder is a very dangerous thing in itself and will cause huge casualties to the siege troops.

Therefore, the best way is to transport the earthwork and fill some parts of the moat, so that the soldiers and horses of the siege can easily pass through the moat.

However, the distance between the moat and the city wall is generally not far away, and it is in the position where the soldiers on the defensive side are most likely to attack. Filling the earth with the moat will be attacked by the soldiers on the city wall.

And because the moat is wider and deeper, there is a lot of water in it. It takes a lot of work to fill the moat into the ground, and in this process of filling the river, the soldiers responsible for transporting the earth and rocks will always be attacked. , Thereby accumulating a lot of casualties.

However, in order to eventually be able to capture the city, it is generally necessary to fill the moat. As long as the moat is made smooth, it will be conducive to the subsequent siege operations and minimize the loss of your troops.

Ziyad commanded the troops to attack the city and prepared a large number of soldiers who were responsible for transporting the earth and stone. Their task was to fill the moat to allow the soldiers and horses to cross the river smoothly.

In order to resist the bows and arrows thrown on the city wall, near the moat, a giant shield will be built, which is a very large shield that is several times higher than the height of the person. There is no pressure to resist the arrows, which can be largely Of casualties.

However, the process of filling the river is impossible, all under the protection of the giant shield, the soldiers will always show their bodies, otherwise they will be surrounded by shields, how the soldiers are still sandbags.

Therefore, since ancient times, the troops responsible for river reclamation will always suffer heavy casualties, and such soldiers also belong to the army, the cheapest unit, the most despising unit, and their origin is generally not Great, many of them are poor people, or simply External Race people and captured captives.

Even the settings in later generations games are filled with garbage soldiers to protect the city. Noble Knight and Swordsman will not fill the river. Only the cheapest soldiers such as slave soldiers, militia and spear soldiers will be used to fill the city.

The river reclamation arms commanded by Ziyad are the lowest-ranking arms. Many of them are foreigners ***. Compared with the main ethnic groups of the Abbas dynasty, their status is much lower. The opportunities for promotion after joining the army are very limited In battle, they must rush to the forefront of the battlefield to do some of the most dangerous work, such as the work of filling the river.

The production of burlap is very simple, so Armed Forces can easily get a lot of burlap, and excavate the soil from the local materials. After the burlap is filled with mud, it can be used to fill the moat.

The soldiers who fill the river divide the labor and cooperate, some are responsible for dredging in a safe place, some are responsible for packing the hemp with soil, and the rest are responsible for transporting, transporting the bag full of mud to the moat by carrying the shoulder with a trolley And fill it into the moat.

There are more than 500 soldiers responsible for filling the moat, and it is divided into 3 roads to fill the river, so that more smooth roads can be filled for the subsequent siege operations.

Shields of various sizes slowly approached the moat, and the bowmen also followed closely from behind. One was responsible for covering and the other was suppressing.

The shield can provide a good cover for the crossbowmen and the Tianhe soldiers, and the crossbowmen can attack the soldiers on the city wall, suppress the soldiers on the city wall from attacking the river recoilers, and it is reasonable to suppress the machine guns of later generations. It is necessary to prevent the soldiers who defend the city from showing their heads.

Before the shield soldiers were close to the moat, the crossbow recruits in the city were unable to bear to fire arrows, and they fired nervously without command, and these arrows were all blocked by the shield without exception. Living.

“Everyone is ready to shoot and attack.”

The generals who defended the city had some combat experience. Knowing that with shields, the effect of direct attacks is very poor. Only by adopting projectile attack methods can you achieve better results. After all, the first row of giant shields and the subsequent rows of shields There are always many gaps between them. There are a lot of crossbowmen in these gaps. Only the projectile can attack them better. In addition, the river recoilers transported back and forth are not well protected, and they will also hit arrows under the rain of the projected arrows.

The soldiers and horses under Ziyad’s army are relatively elite, and the crossbowmen all have armor and helmets. In this way, the damage that the projectile can cause to these soldiers is still relatively limited.

After several rounds of large-scale projectiles, most of the arrows were either blocked by the shield or landed on the open ground. The arrows that fell on the soldiers were few, and the damage caused was not large, and the direct death was not. Only a dozen were injured and forced to withdraw from the fighting.
