Ziad ’s men were obviously too happy. He thought that he had eliminated more than one third of the defenders and soldiers in a day, but they did n’t know that they simply did n’t have such a big victory. I think so much, and with the use of various defenses, the next loss will become lower, and the more terrifying fact is that they are facing ordinary soldiers, the most elite 10000 2000 in the city The soldiers and horses have not been used. If these elite soldiers are dispatched, the casualty ratio will be further reduced by several grades.

Although the subordinates are not talking about the actual number of enemy losses, there is no weak spot in the words. Ziyad is still willing to believe. He thinks this is likely to be true, and as long as the soldiers and horses in the city are polished, he is under his command. Armed Forces can successfully penetrate the city in front of them.

“How is our army casualties?”

In addition to being more concerned about the casualties of the enemy, Ziyad is also very concerned about the casualties of his Armed Forces. If the casualties are too large, some will be outweighed.

“General, the casualties of our army are less than 5000, and half of them are 100 surnames. The actual casualties of our army are only more than 2000. Most of them are arrow wounds. The soldiers were injured when they shot against the enemy on the city wall. Yes, there are fewer injuries and burns. “

Subordinates report.

Ziyad’s cheeks twitched slightly, and the casualties were still a bit big. The soldiers and horses under his command were elite troops, even if they were only small casualties, he would be distressed. Moreover, the casualties at night were obviously better than those at day More time, this is something that makes it difficult for him to accept.

“You just said that the casualties of the enemy were more in the middle of the night, what about the casualties of our army? In the middle of the night?”

Ziad asked.

“No, general, our soldiers are more casualties in the middle of the night, and they are the most frontal crossbowmen. In the first half of the night, because the enemy did not see the trenches, our army was deployed in The crossbowmen in the trenches won a great victory, so more archers were sent to fight in the trenches, but after the enemy illuminates the trenches, they lost the cover of the night, and suddenly suffered a lot of casualties and attacked the enemy. It has also become quite difficult. “

The subordinate said.

“It’s such a pity. It’s a pity. There are capable people in the enemy! I can think of such a clever way to reflect the light into the ditch.”

Ziyad was very surprised.

“General, anyway, the trenches will not play any role anymore. They can be completely filled in the afternoon, and then the moat can be filled. As long as the moat is filled, our army can fully impact the city wall, and there are not many enemy troops. Certainly can’t resist. “

The subordinate said affirmatively.

In order to be able to capture the city, Ziyad made a lot of preparations, and all kinds of equipment were extremely well prepared. When attacking the same tightly defended Al City, he had summed up a lot of experience and knew how to avoid being defeated by the soldiers in the city. Countermeasure, therefore, the siege of Armed Forces has been advancing, but the defending horses in the city have no good way to completely repel the enemy. They can only choose to continue the war of attrition to block the speed of the enemy ’s attack and give the enemy Cause greater casualties.

“That’s right, as long as the last moat is filled, Artic can’t stop us anymore, and the order will continue, let the soldiers speed up the progress, fill the last trench at an early date, fill the moat, and enter the city of Maia After entering the city, all the soldiers robbed casually, grab whatever they wanted, remember to give me Artic and Ibrahim to me. “

Ziyad ordered aloud.

In order to inspire the morale of Armed Forces, Ziyad is also quite hard, and even used to allow soldiers to plunder this move.

In ancient times, looting by soldiers was a very common phenomenon, and it was also a necessary quality for many soldiers. The reason for choosing such a cruel method is that many times, the army can provide soldiers with extremely limited resources And there is a risk of losing your life in battle. If you want to let soldiers lose their lives for you, you have to give them enough benefits!

The so-called when a high reward is offered, brave men will come forward, the general has given enough rewards to make the soldier feel the need to take risks for it, so the soldier will fight regardless of his life.

In the case of shortage of resources, the general may not have wealth, and how to reward the soldiers who sold their lives to him. The only feasible way is to promise the soldiers to snatch after the city is captured. Only in this way is the feasible way. .

In particular, many peasant troops who are forced to rebel are often robbed of their fortunes because the rebel peasant leaders have no money and cannot supply huge followers. Not at all other methods than robbery. Of course, if they can It’s much easier to manage the city that reserves official grain, so that not only their own food problem is solved, but also, they can distribute the surplus grain to more poor people, and use this opportunity to attract more People, let yourself become more powerful.

It is of course the best way to seize the food and gold and silver of the Imperial Court, and it is also an important guarantee for the development of an uprising army. However, if the money and food of the Imperial Court cannot be seized, and the uprising army is short of money and food, then The only way to do this is to force it, or call it robbery. After you have captured a city, you will rob everyone in the city to get the most basic supply.

Especially in the case of heavy losses in the process of siege, robbery of the 100 surnames in the city has become an inevitable, even the slaughter city is possible, otherwise, where the one-bellied resentment qi will vent.

The reason why the ancient Yue Family Army was able to do it was to freeze to death without demolishing a house or starving to death without plundering, because the entire Southern Song Dynasty provided sufficient logistics for Armed Forces. Without the support of Imperial Court, the Yue Family Army would freeze to death. And starved to death, where there is still energy to fight the Golden State Armed Forces.

At this moment, Chiad Armed Forces has been attacking the city for many days, and the army has suffered heavy losses. In this case, as long as the city is breached, retaliation will be taken, and the robbery is only a minimum of revenge. Burn the city to vent your hatred.

Chiad Armed Forces has been attacking the city for a long time, but it has been relatively tired, but in the face of huge interests and military orders, they once again broke out a powerful attack, spare no effort to attack the defenders in the city.

Because more siege equipment has been manufactured, and most of the siege equipment are made stronger, and the distance from the city is also relatively far, so the number of destroyed siege equipment is very small, and it is not as fast as the speed of new equipment. Therefore, the siege equipment owned by Chiad Armed Forces not only did not decrease because of the siege, but also increased greatly. Moreover, the destroyed siege equipment is also easy to repair, so that the siege power has always been Under enhancement.

This is also the source of Ziyade ’s confidence. The reason why he is so confident is because his strength is being strengthened step by step. He has great self-confidence in the defense of the city. He believes that he can lead Armed Forces to break the city, completely Mansour confessed to him the task.

Ziyad’s offensive has been intensifying, and the distance of the siege Armed Forces from the city wall has also been shortened step by step, which has created a lot of pressure on the defenders.

Although the city’s defense is very strict, and more defense equipment is used to defend the city, the pressure is still very great, and the defense troops are constantly injured.

Because the light is too abundant during the day, all the scarecrows were removed, and the enemy troops outside the city were not stupid. It was easy to find these scarecrows, so in order to better confuse the enemy troops at night, In the daytime, these scarecrows must be put away.

It is not necessary to put away the mask and armor. Using these armor can reduce casualties very well, and it is okay to be discovered by the enemy.

“Urban master, the last trench is about to be filled, and the enemy will begin to fill the city at night.”

A subordinate reports.

The so-called filling of the trench is actually not to fill the entire trench, but to fill out a certain width, enough to support the smooth passage of a large number of siege equipment and troops, and some places have not been filled. Filling, this can be used as a bunker hiding by the crossbowmen, and can also speed up the progress of the trench.

Artick hearing this is a bit anxious. If even the last moat is filled, the defensive pressure of the soldiers and horses in the city will be too great, because this means that a large number of soldiers and horses outside the city can push large siege equipment to the city wall. Below, a large number of soldiers can quickly climb the city wall through the siege equipment to break the city.

It is of course the best way to destroy the siege equipment, but Ziyad builds all kinds of siege equipment in the siege very sturdy, and the number is very large. Even if a few are smashed, there will be new The equipment is added, and the damaged equipment can be easily repaired. Anyway, the equipment is only a few parts, and it can be repaired where it is broken, not at all.

According to the current defensive methods, it is necessary to sacrifice many soldiers to defend the city, and he must also have his elite soldiers to play in order to be effective. This is why Artick has always refused to let the elite soldiers fight. When the crossbow shoots, ordinary soldiers and horses can be maintained, but if the enemy’s ladder is attacking the city, the situation may be different. Once the confidence of the defending soldiers and horses collapses, they may give up the defense, thus Fleeing apart, so bad, only the most elite soldiers can fight against the siege soldiers and defend the final line of defense.

But Altik didn’t want the most elite soldiers and horses to suffer heavy losses. If the most elite soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, then even if they finally held the city, his strength would suffer huge losses.

It is impossible to destroy all kinds of siege equipment outside the city on a large scale. This is the most frustrating thing for defenders. As long as a large number of siege equipment outside the city is not destroyed, the huge pressure on defense cannot be eliminated.

In particular, the pressure in the direction of the north gate is the greatest. Here, half of the siege horses and horses are concentrated, and the speed is the fastest. The casualties created for the siege soldiers are also the largest. The progress of the siege horses in the remaining directions It is much slower before advancing to the 2nd trench.

“We must get rid of Qi Yade’s siege equipment. These equipment pose too great a threat to us, and it is difficult for our army to attack with all our strength and cause great damage to the enemy.”

Artik said.

“City Master, this seems not easy. The elite cavalry of Ziyad is behind. Even at night, these cavalry have maintained a size of more than 3000. If our army sends troops to attack the city, they will be easily attacked by these cavalry. , And then they can take the opportunity to break into the city and break the city. “

The subordinate shook his head.

Altik naturally understood this truth, but he could not think of a better way. Without destroying a large number of siege equipment outside the city, the pressure on defense was too great.

“City Lord, let the Great Tang Artillery attack! The artillery formidable power is greater and more prepared. It will definitely destroy more siege equipment, which can frustrate Ziyad’s energy.”

The subordinate opening is suggested.

Altik hesitated and felt that it would be more feasible. If he couldn’t do it, he could only count on the 5 artillery pieces of the Great Tang. If even these 5 artillery pieces could not pull strongly against a crazy tide, then there was really no better Solution.

“You go and invite General Tang. I have to ask about the situation.”

Artik said.

“Yes, the lord.”

The subordinate responded.

Soon, the Great Tang teenager came to Artic.

“What’s the city lord looking for me? Are we going to let Gunner play? We can’t wait, just want to show it well?”

Little Tang said.

Altick squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth, opened the mouth and said: “I’ll ask, how many shells can your cannon fire, how many siege equipment can destroy the enemy, can you kill them all?”

Great Tang thought about opened the mouth and said: “City Lord, my 5 artillery pieces are left with only 100 pieces of ammunition, only a total of 500 pieces, hitting from a distance and ensuring that only about 20% of the hopes are destroyed, at most. Destroy 100 siege equipment, killing enemy soldiers and horses can exceed 1000, perhaps more. “

“This is not enough! There are too many enemy siege equipment. Destruction of 100 will certainly not work. There are more than just this number of catapults.”

Altick is a little depressed. There are too many equipments in the siege of Armed Forces. There are hundreds of catapults in the North Gate. Moreover, they are scattered and deployed. It is impossible to want to kill a few in one shot.

If you immediately use artillery to participate in the battle and destroy some of the equipment of the siege soldiers and horses, it can indeed have the effect of easing the offensive of the siege soldiers and horses, but the effect is not very obvious, and it will no longer be used up.

“Can the shells be made in the city, what equipment need to be prepared, yes, what materials are needed?”

Artik asked unwillingly.

Great Tang opened his mouth and said: “Cannonballs can only be manufactured by Great Tang Chang’an City. The formula is only known by Minister Li, which cannot be manufactured absolutely in the city.”
