Ziyad pinned his hope of conquering Maya City entirely on the huge siege equipment. He wanted to continuously manufacture massive siege equipment and armed Armed Forces with a large number of equipment, so as to reduce the casualties of Armed Forces under his command.

In order to build these siege equipment and prepare the materials needed for the siege equipment, Qi Yade used 20000 Armed Forces to turn them into craftsmen. At the same time, they also attracted a lot of labor from various places to help them work and have craftsmanship. The people are responsible for building siege equipment, and those who have no skills but strength, are responsible for preparing various raw materials, such as felling wood and mining stones, and even making Fireball products.

Wood can be used to build siege equipment. All siege equipment can not be separated from the raw material of wood, and stones can be used as weapons for catapults. Some catapults must have stones. If there are not a lot of stones It is meaningless to build a catapult. In addition, you need to prepare a lot of flammable Fireballs. These Fireballs can use cotton or cheap grass fodder. Just add fire oil to it and burn it.

All of this requires labor to prepare, and if you want to store a large amount of these materials, you need a lot of labor.

Directly using 20000 Armed Forces to prepare siege equipment, it can be seen that Qi Yade attaches great importance to these siege equipment, and they have also swept a lot of labor from the surrounding area and there are 10,000-20,000 people.

The soldiers ate military food, and the old 100 survivors ate food prepared by themselves. If the food is not enough, their family members will need to send some food. Otherwise, the 100 surnames will be hungry. .

Even, because of the great pressure on the supply of military food, the Armed Forces of Ziyad often go to grab food and grass around to supply the needs of Armed Forces.

In order to avoid the siege equipment being attacked by the cavalry in the city, in this city, Ziyad attaches great importance to the safety of the siege equipment. The security force deployed is 10000. The strength is quite powerful, and it can completely eliminate the siege equipment. Location was raided.

After Abu *** was injured, Ziyad became the actual commander of Armed Forces. In addition to dealing with various military affairs, he also had to personally inspect the construction of siege equipment. Even if the time is busy, he is every day Time should be taken to inspect to reflect his emphasis on the issue of siege equipment.

“Can this arrow shield fireproof? Can it block the attack of the bed crossbow?”

Ziyad personally inspected, and asked after looking at a piece of equipment that had been made.

“General, this archer has such a thick arm that it can withstand the attack of the bed crossbow beyond 100 steps. It is wrapped in cowhide on the front and wrapped in fresh grass. When fighting, it can also be watered in the past, such as being able to defend against fire. attack.”

Subordinates introduced.

Ziad ’s satisfied nodded, opened the mouth and said: “The formidable power of the enemy ’s bed crossbow is huge, and it poses a great threat to our soldiers and horses. Therefore, an archer should be placed in front of each catapult. “

“Yes, General, his subordinates understand.”

The subordinate responded.

Ziad continued to ask: “How far can the catapult be thrown, have they been tested?”

“General, the small one can throw 200 steps, and the largest can throw 500 steps. Compared to the fortified catapults and crossbows, it doesn’t fall!”

Subordinates are replied.

“Okay, it’s really good. The more must be built, the more the number, the greater the damage that can be done to the enemy, and the greater our hope of capturing the city of Maya.”

Ziad said.

“General, we have so many siege equipment, we will definitely be able to break through the defense of Maia City, do we still need to continue manufacturing?”

My subordinates feel that there are already many.

Ziyad shook his head: “no no no, it’s not enough, these devices are not enough to break through the city of Maia, you should know that there are a few artillery in the city? That thing has a great formable power, we don’t have a quantity, how can we resist it? And, our plan is a four-sided attack, and naturally we need more equipment. “

The soldiers and horses outside the city are building equipment in large quantities. All this happened under the eyes of the soldiers in the city. They also wanted to attack these equipments. Unfortunately, the defense is too tight. Simply there is no chance, and the soldiers who go to sneak attack All reimbursed.

Looking at the large number of siege equipment outside the city, Altick’s mood is not very good. So many siege equipment will bring great pressure to his defense.

He even wanted to transfer the defenders from several nearby cities to help. Unfortunately, he knew that this would not work, and no matter whether he could send the news, even if the surrounding cities sent troops to support, he would be halfway along the way. The cavalry was defeated, and even the whole army was wiped out, so this plan must be abandoned.

However, soldiers and horses outside the city are making siege equipment day and night, and the soldiers in the city cannot be idle. It is definitely not enough to wait and die, and measures must be taken to deal with the immediate crisis.

“The lord of the city, Ziyad must be crazy, and actually used such a large number of people to make siege equipment, how many 10000 people? And, it did not mean to stop, it was too terrifying.”

The subordinates watched carefully with a telescope, and were immediately stunned by the large-scale manufacturing site outside the city. At the same time, they were even more shocked by the large number of instruments that have been manufactured, especially the huge catapults, arrow vehicles, and A well stop that is taller than the city wall. Once these devices attack, for example, they can cause great pressure on the defending soldiers and horses.

The monitoring soldiers and horses in the city are still working, because they are not sure that the soldiers and horses outside the city will not continue to dig the tunnel. 10000 the soldiers and horses outside the city continue to dig the tunnel. They can also get news immediately and respond well. ready.

Altick touched his forehead and suddenly felt pressure. The guys outside the city made it clear that they were going to die with themselves. Isn’t it good for everyone to get along peacefully? Why are you playing around? Just use the peninsula as the boundary. Isn’t it good for the two sides to build their own country? How can Mansour’s ambitions be so big, it is necessary to occupy the land of the peninsula, there are still many peninsulas in the hands of the Great Tang, and have the ability to attack the Aden city and the canal peninsula occupied by the Great Tang!

“The enemy forces are building siege equipment on a large scale, and we can’t be idle, we immediately build a large number of siege equipment, the more the better, to see who can stick to the end.”

Artik said.

The subordinate opened the mouth and said: “Urban Master, our most powerful defensive equipment is supported by Great Tang, and we don’t have such a good technology ourselves, even if it is made, the technical aspect is not comparable to that provided by Great Tang. Weapons. “

“Isn’t there any Great Tang soldiers in the city? You can ask them. If they don’t, you can make lower quality ones. What’s wrong?”

Artik said.

Soon, the subordinates came back and reported the situation: “The lord of the city, the soldiers of the Great Tang told me that they used machinery to make these devices, not hand-made. There is no machinery in our city. The weapon is so good that it can only make weapons with slightly lower performance. “

Artic nodded and said: “Since that is the case, then start manufacturing! It doesn’t matter if the performance is next, as long as it can be used for defense, and also, ask the Great Tang soldiers, maybe they still know more effective Defensive weapon. “

“Yes, the city master, his subordinates understand.”

The men responded and immediately went to prepare.

Because there is not enough manpower for Qiyade, Altik cannot organize 10000 people to manufacture fortification equipment. He recruited a total of 100 people from the army and 5000 surnames to manufacture fortification equipment. people.

Although the size of the construction staff cannot be compared with the Ziyad side ’s mental on equal terms, the defensive side itself has a great advantage, because the tall city wall is the biggest advantage, and there are auxiliary defense facilities such as moats and trenches outside the city. There are facilities such as Wengcheng that are critical to defense, so in general, the defensive side is not behind, and the strength of the two sides is roughly equal due to the role of the city wall.

The war has not yet happened, and both sides are desperately preparing for it, hoping that through adequate preparation, they will have a huge advantage.

The initiative of the war is on the offensive side. When the war breaks out, it all depends on when Ziyad launches the attack. After all, the Artic side is passive defense and can only be the enemy when they attack, they will resist when they attack There is no such thing as taking the initiative to initiate a war. After all, their infantry strength is very weak, and they will be wiped out once they leave the city.

After Ziyad wanted to prepare well, he launched a violent attack to fight for his success and defeated Meiya City in one fell swoop, but Mansour will not give him too much preparation time, and the reality is not allowed, most recently, Al The cavalry activities under Tik’s group became more and more frequent. These mobile and flexible cavalry teams continually harassed and destroyed their food roads, causing them considerable losses. In addition, even some materials were burned, which irritated Ziyad, especially the food materials looted from the vicinity were easily robbed by Artike ’s cavalry.

The realistic pressure of logistics and Mansour’s urging orders made him have to initiate a siege battle in advance. At least after the siege, there will be many soldiers killed, and the fallen soldiers do not need to eat, but they can ease the food a little. Pressure.

Before the attack, Ziyad went to visit Abu ***, after all, Abu *** was the leader of this army, he just took command of that’s all.

“General, are you feeling better?”

Ziad asked with concern.

“I’m fine, there’s nothing serious about it. I’m particularly tired. By the way, Qi Yade, this battle is about the national games. You have to fight well. 10000000 can’t embarrass me.”

Abu said ***.

Qi Yade quickly nodded and said: “General, you can rest assured! We have prepared so many siege equipment, enough for the guards to drink a pot, you are waiting for good news!”

Looking at Qi Yade’s confident face, Abu *** satisfied with the nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Qi Yade, I wish you success, you must succeed.”

“Yes, General, with your auspicious words, I will surely capture Maia City, so wait for my good news!”

Qi Yade saluted a military salute, turned around and left Ai Bu *** ‘s account, to command the troops to deploy.

Because this time was a strong attack, Ziyad gathered most of his troops, and even included the ordinary old 100 surname he had entrapped, and also participated in the siege operation.

The weakest 20000 soldiers and horses were left in the big camp. They were responsible for guarding the big camp. The remaining 60000 Armed Forces attacked the city gate in four sides. Of course, there were more than 4 old 10000 surnames forced to participate in the siege. The siege has 100 people, and its strength is very strong.

There are more than 30000 soldiers and horses under the command of Ziyad personally, which is the main direction of attack. The remaining three directions have only more than 3 soldiers and horses, but even this is not a lot.

In addition, even if it is the auxiliary attack direction, the attack is also a strong attack, rather than a restricted feint.

The commanders of the various horses and horses are all the subordinates that Ziyad trusts very much, and their combat capabilities are not weak. After receiving Armed Forces, they went to receive a large number of siege equipment, and then set off to the predetermined position.

The 4th Armed Forces carries a large number of siege equipment. The departure of grandiose, the goal is directed at Maia City. The attack time is in the morning, and now the sky is not bright, the preparation time left for the various Armed Forces is not much. They must reach their respective offensive positions as soon as possible and launch a violent attack together at a uniform time.

The movement of the Armed Forces in the city quickly attracted the attention of the defenders in the city. Although the troop deployment started in the early morning, the moonlight was still visible. After all, the enemy army was very large and had a large body. Siege equipment, the goal is too obvious.

“The enemy is about to attack the city. Go and inform the city master.”

The young man defending the city quickly ordered and summoned his subordinates who were still sleeping under the city to defend together on the city wall to defend against the enemy’s surprise attack.

Soon, the number of soldiers and horses assembled in the city exceeded 10000. They defended 4 city gates and closely monitored every move outside the city.

The deployment of Altik is mainly in the center of the city. Each city gate has only 3000 defenders, including 500 night-time soldiers, and the remaining soldiers and horses are in the city.

Among them, the big camp with the main force in the middle of the city, the number of people is more than 10000, and some soldiers and horses are scattered to maintain the security of the entire city, and are ready to support all directions at any time. The number of these soldiers and horses is very small, but the total number is 2000 people. All, there are 1000 people in charge of monitoring the tunnels, there are 5000 soldiers and horses that build defensive equipment, and can be put into combat at any time. Of course, 10000 reserve forces in the city can also be called at any time to join the battle to defend the city.

“What, the enemy is about to attack the city.”

Altick was awakened in his sleep and startedled at his men, looking a little shocked.
