The attack on the city by enemy forces outside the city is inevitable. This is very clear in Altick’s heart, but he did not expect Ziyad to start so quickly. During the day, he carefully observed with a telescope There are a large number of semifinished products of siege equipment in the enemy battalion, which shows that the process of the enemy ’s construction of the siege equipment will continue for a certain period of time, and it will not start soon, but he did not expect that the enemy army Suddenly launched a large-scale operation.

There were one or two hours before dawn, but Artick was no longer sleepy. He quickly got up and dressed, surrounded by a guard, and went to his mansion.

The large-scale operations of the enemy forces alarmed all the high-ranking officials in Maya City. They all got up and ran to their respective posts. After all, once the city was broken, what was waiting for them was the end of the dead end. The most important issue is that Their glory and wealth are completely gone, which is the worst.

“City Lord, the enemy’s main force has been dispatched, surrounded us, all four sides are siege equipment, it seems that Qi Yade is about to attack!”

“Urban master, according to past experience, the enemy will definitely launch an attack after dawn, which is a 2 hour time.”

“The lord of the city, our soldiers will sit back and relax, and they will definitely be able to crush the enemy’s siege operations.”

“The soldiers and horses in the city can always assist in all directions, please rest assured.”

Everyone talking at once said.

Artik looked towards everyone, opened the mouth and said: “I really did not expect that Ziyad launched an attack so quickly, and their siege equipment was not completed before impatient launched the attack, which shows that they must definitely siege as soon as possible. The reason may be Mansour ’s order, or they are about to run out of food. No matter what kind of situation, it is not a bad thing for us. As long as we can hold a certain period of time, Ziyad will definitely retire, if they are The soldiers are hungry and have no strength. The soldiers and horses of our cities will come to the reinforcements. You should try to encourage the soldiers to let the soldiers defend with all their strength and must guard the city. “

“City master, please rest assured that our soldiers are trained day and night. Although they can’t fight in the wild, they are still more than enough to defend the city. There are enough reserve soldiers in the city to keep the city.”

“City Lord, let Ziyad see our power!”

The subordinates said.

Altick nodded, looked towards the crowd, and asked, “Is the situation of the enemy forces clear? How many soldiers and horses are there in each direction and how many equipment are there?”

“City Lord, it’s too dark. I can’t see clearly. I can only see a rough idea. There are many soldiers and horses in all directions. The direction of the North Gate is the main force of the enemy. It is also the closest to the enemy camp.”

The subordinate said.

Altick nodded and said: “Okay, let the soldiers and horses in the city prepare for the battle, ready to reinforce each city wall, build 5000 soldiers of equipment, and draw 2000 horses to reinforce the direction of the north gate. The pressure there is the most and needs more soldier.”

Before the battle had begun, Artik was reluctant to use his elite more than 10000 soldiers and horses. These soldiers were stationed in the middle of the city. Even if the enemy attacked on four sides, they would not be injured.

Of course, these soldiers and horses made contributions in the last battle of defending the city, that is, they trapped the enemy troops coming out of the tunnel, and they achieved the elite victory of annihilating 3000 enemy troops.

These elite soldiers and horses are the backings of Artik’s defense of Maya City. In the beginning of the most difficult battle of defending the city, he did not use these elite soldiers and horses, just to preserve this elite force intact, and in the most critical In the later period, let these fresh troops join the battle of defending the city, so as to firmly hold the city. If all these elite soldiers are thrown out of the defending city at once, once the elite loss is exhausted, the entire city’s soldiers and civilians will lose confidence.

For example, although the soldiers and horses in the city are facing huge casualties, they will not be nervous when they think that there are 10000 elite reinforcements in the city, and they believe that these reinforcements can come up at any time. If all elite soldiers and horses go to the city, once The elite loss is exhausted, and the reserve forces temporarily recruited will completely collapse in confidence, and once the situation of military disintegration is formed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The daily life in the city requires a lot of manpower. Therefore, when the staff is not scarce, it will not rush to mobilize the 100 surnames of the middle age. They will only use them when the defenders in the city have suffered heavy casualties and insufficient manpower.

The city gate has been blocked for a long time. There are enough food and water sources in the city, but the supply of vegetables and fruits is not enough. Fortunately, the city has a relatively large area, and there are many vacant areas. All kinds of vegetables can barely maintain the demand in the city. In addition, there are a lot of dried vegetables in the city. Although the nutrition of these dried vegetables is not as good as that of fresh vegetables, it is better to eat vegetables than without bites. The human body needs vegetables. Nutrition, can not help but eat vegetables.

Maia City is in the desert, the surface is all sand, but there can also be rivers in the desert, and even groundwater. The deserts are not necessarily all sand, and oasis and rivers can exist. of.

There is a small river in Maia City, so irrigation is not a problem, just because of the size of the city, impossible large-scale cultivation of food, only small-scale vegetables.

Soon, the men went to different city gates to command the city gate’s defenders against the upcoming siege.

The area of ​​Maia City is very large, but the length of each city wall is only the distance of seven-eight li. According to the calculation of 4 meters city wall defended by each soldier, only 1000 soldiers are enough, and 3000 Armed Forces are common Defensive, it can be achieved that there is one more soldier per one meter in defense, and the amount of defensive power is quite powerful.

Of course, if you really fight, it will definitely not be deployed like this, otherwise it will be easy to lose heavily in the enemy ’s first round attack, and in addition to defending the city wall, these soldiers are also responsible for the defense of the city gate and the urn. These Soldiers are needed everywhere, so there are fewer soldiers actually applied to the city wall.

In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, the defensive soldiers are not all on the wall, and some soldiers are staying under the city, ready to increase reinforcement at any time, depending on how aggressive the offensive side ’s attack is. More uptowns are needed, and if the attackers attack more with catapults and arrow rain, not at all large-scale attacks by soldiers, there should not be too many soldiers left on the city wall.

For example, in the war of later generations, when the enemy’s large-scale artillery shelling, the soldiers on the defensive side should avoid as much as possible to save their own vitality. When the enemy’s artillery shelling ends and the infantry strikes, they will come out to fight again. Lessons drawn from blood.

Although there was no threat of artillery in ancient wars, the attacks of catapults and arrows of rain can also be called low-profile artillery. The lethality is still considerable, so it is still necessary to avoid it.

The defensive soldiers of each city gate, according to the requirements, dispatched 1000 soldiers to defend the city wall first, and the remaining soldiers were under the city, and they could be reinforced at any time.

Because I did not expect the enemy to attack the city so quickly, the defensive materials prepared on the city wall are not enough. After all, some things are not convenient to put on the city wall. If it is scorched and drenched by sun and rain, it is easy to change It is decaying, so, when necessary, it needs to be placed in a dark place, and at this moment, the enemy soldiers are about to attack the city. In this way, a large amount of materials placed under the city must be transported to the city wall. Too.

Except for the nightly 500 soldiers who took a short break, the rest of the early soldiers were all busy. They partly monitored the enemy on the city wall, and the rest were transporting the defensive supplies to prepare for the final battle.

Because there was no night vision device in ancient times, night warfare was very difficult for both the offense and the defender, because nothing could be seen at night, but when necessary, it was also possible to fight at night, and once the war was fought, , Everything is not a problem.

The siege of Armed Forces outside the city is ready, ready to attack Maiya City at any time, and Ziyad has also reached the position of command. Since he was attacked by the Great Tang ’s artillery before, this time Ziyad chose a safer The position, the appearance of the artillery’s range, so even the Great Tang’s most powerful artillery can’t take him.

“General, it’s almost dawn, and it’s almost ready to attack.”

When the grey dawn just appeared in the east, a subordinate asked Ziad for instructions.

Ziyad looked at the city of Meyer outside the severe li in front, nodded, ordered: “Immediately blow to the horn, ready to attack.”

“wu wu wu ……”

Soon, several hundred soldiers sounded the horn at the same time, and the sound was so loud that even the other side of the city could hear it.

“attack.”

The horn of the impact sounded the command, the first batch of soldiers began to attack, soldiers in all directions of the city gate launched the attack at the same time, they rely on the siege equipment, little by little advance, the mobile catapult began to advance, and immediately launched A large number of stones and Fireball, attack the soldiers on the defensive side.

Because a lot of siege equipment was built, the morale of the attacking soldiers was very high, and the catapult attacked very violently. In front of the catapult, there was also an arrow car as a cover to avoid being defensive bed Crossbow attack.

The attack by hiding the sky and covering the earth puts a lot of pressure on the defensive side. However, the defense of the city is very tight and there are enough soldiers and horses to defend. Therefore, even under such huge pressure, the defensive soldiers did not panic. , Their spare no effort defense, not at all showed cowardice.

A large number of stones and Fireball attacks have caused some damage to the defending party, and some of the defensive equipment have been damaged by stones. The defending soldiers can’t rush back. A large number of bed crossbows and stone throwing attacks also give the attacking party. The soldiers and horses caused a lot of blows. Although the attacker had a shield car cover, it was not 10000. There were always places where the shield car could not cover it. Moreover, the stones thrown in the city were large and small, especially large. The stones can’t be resisted by shield cars.

Always, at the beginning of the battle, both sides were attacked with a stone and Fireball, and the morale of Armed Forces under the influence of the first was increased.

Under the cover of the catapult attack, the soldiers on the attacking side are gradually approaching the city wall. At the forefront of the team are the old 100 surnames who pushed the shield cars. These 100 are the 1 surnames that were plundered, not willingly. They are forced to sell their lives, but in order to live, they must also work hard, otherwise, the crossbowmen who follow them will kill them.

These shield cars have 4 wheels, and the body is taller. The front, sides, and top have heavy armor, especially the front and top, which can effectively resist the attack of stones.

However, there is a small section at the bottom of the front without armor, but the crossbow of the city wall cannot attack the 100 surname of the cart through the gap at the bottom. After all, the bow and arrow will not turn, nor can the stone. This The gap is very useful. When approaching the trench, the vehicle will stop, and the old 100 surname of the cart will take off the tools that come with the vehicle, dig out the dirt behind and under the foot, and throw it into the trench, thus step by step Filled the trench.

Of course, sandbags can also be transported from the rear. In short, the trench must be filled, otherwise, all other large siege equipment can not pass, not to mention the siege, just relying on the catapult attack, it is definitely impossible to break the city defense of.

Behind the shield car, there is a small amount of crossbowmen. In the trench position, it is already close to the city wall, so it is completely within the attack range of the defensive horses. Similarly, the defensive horses are also being attacked. The scope of the attack.

The defending soldiers can rely on the protection of the female wall to shoot the crossbowmen outside the city, and the crossbowmen outside the city can also use the protection of the shield car to put arrows on the head of the city.

Since both offensive and defensive sides have defensive cover, the arrows of the overwhelming majority failed to kill the enemy, and less than 1% of the arrows were very lucky to hit the soldier’s body within the body. It may not be able to take the soldier’s life, maybe it just hurt the soldier.

Therefore, in this case, although the attacks of both the offense and the defense are extremely fierce, the battle is inseparable, but the actual casualties are not much, the loss is more of various instruments and loss of weapons, such as stones And arrows, as well as Fireball, and partially destroyed equipment.

In addition to the real loss of Fireball, stones and arrows can also be observed. The thrown stones and arrows on the city wall are on the attacking position, and the attacking stones and arrows are thrown. Ya, fell inside and outside the city wall, and these things can be used twice, and then throw it back.

This is the advantage of the cold weapon era. Both stones and arrows can be used multiple times, but the bullets and shells of later generations will not work. The bullets are disposable, and the shells will be blown into fragments.
