Zhu Zhen's words were not unreasonable. Judging from the current situation, it was quite beneficial to them.

The ladders were set up and many equipments had arrived at the city gate.

The most critical step is completed.

Next is the normal siege.

The border troops are not new recruits, but elite men. They can only charge, not retreat.

For example, the selected first-in-command troops were exceptionally good. During the rush, there were not many casualties...

Originally, they had prepared troops and quickly stepped in when the first troops suffered serious casualties.

It seems to be going quite smoothly now.

"It's a trebuchet!"

Zhu Wen said: "The previous large-scale throwing made the enemy afraid to show their heads. This is the opportunity for the advance troops."

"It's just that the city wall failed to collapse."

Zhu Zhen was very sorry, but then he smiled lightly and said: "Emperor Yuanwu can only rely on some powerful weapons. Without them, he is nothing!"

Zhu Wen said nothing.

That seems to be the case now.

But he still felt a little uneasy.

Emperor Yuanwu should have more than just this ability shown.

If you don't have a trump card, how dare you lure them into attacking the city?

"The advance army has taken a firm stand and will continue to send an additional 30,000 troops."

Zhu Wen gave the order in a deep voice.

He directed very steadily.

Troops were not invested immediately, but in batches.

The troops who ascended first began to climb and attack the city.

Naturally, the enemy defenders would not have the energy to increase their troops, and these 30,000 troops would be able to reach the city intact.

This arrangement can virtually reduce a lot of casualties.

"This is how a siege should be."

Zhu Zhen on the side said: "Just like the rolling waves, one wave after another, if you keep wearing it down, you can win."

“Then it’s time to fight with real swords and guns!”

Zhu Wen's voice was low and his eyes were focused on the siege battle in the distance.

When the ladder and other equipment are set up, the most primitive fight begins.

One side must fight tooth and nail to climb the city wall, and the other must fight tooth and nail to stop it.

This is the brutality of the siege.

Being on a high position on the city wall naturally occupies an advantage.

You can use boulders, giant trees, kerosene and other objects to throw from top to bottom. These are all good ways to block enemies.

Just like now.

Enemy slings stopped.

Only then did the soldiers hiding under the bunker of the watchtower come out.

In a normal city defense, one would risk being hit by shooting to block the enemy, but Guan Ning allowed it.

Only show up when the environment is absolutely safe.

Aren't you afraid of losing the opportunity?

If you didn't stop the enemy before, doesn't this mean you let the enemy go and let them reach the city smoothly?

Guan Ning waved his hands calmly, indicating that this was not a problem.

Give the enemy some more time so that more of them can come.

The soldiers were very nervous.

But His Majesty the Emperor did not panic at all.

Their preparations were not sufficient. The huge rocks, huge trees, kerosene and other materials needed to defend the city were not much.

"Isn't this sent by the enemy?"

Guan Ning pointed to the stones and bullets scattered on the city wall.

When the enemy's missiles were launched, many of them hit the city wall and the urn at the city gate. Isn't this ready-made?

"Hurry up and clean it up and throw it all out."

Needless to say, Guan Ning said that the soldiers also began to enter the defensive state... the enemy troops were already climbing up and attacking the city.

The sound from below the city proved that the enemy's ramming vehicles had already begun to hit the city gate...

How to defend the city does not require Guan Ning, most soldiers have a subconscious reaction.

Wherever someone tries to climb up, throw rocks at them.

You don't even need to look at it, just throw it out and you're sure to hit someone.

This time it’s time to compete in perseverance and skills...

Climbing a ladder to attack a city is not an easy task. You must always be wary of all the obstacles that come your way.

Either a stone, a giant tree, an arrow, or a pot of hot oil, and all you can rely on is a shield tied to your arm...

A wise soldier can make full use of this shield.

Deng Xianjun is the elite selected.

On the first ladder erected, a soldier was almost climbing to the city wall.

He climbed the ladder very quickly with one hand, always looking upward, and highly focused. When a stone fell down, he would use his shield to block it.

The subtlety lies in this blocking.

Skills are important.

It seemed like it was just a slight block, but it caused the stone to slide aside. In fact, he did not receive any resistance.

He has used this technique to block three boulders and several arrows in a row.

We are very close to the city wall!

He wants to climb first, he wants to be the first to climb the city wall!

Perhaps he was distracted due to inner excitement, or perhaps the stone was bigger and he made a mistake.

The stone did not slide off like before, but hit the shield directly.

Naturally, the arm could not bear all the force and was directly fractured.

Severe pain hit him, and he could no longer hold on and fell down.

Then, a second person below him takes his place.

I want to be the first to arrive.

I want to be the first one to climb the wall.

As soon as he had this thought, a pot of hot oil was poured on his head.

Boiling hot oil was poured down.

Severe pain swept through his body instantly.

"ah!"

He screamed uncontrollably and fell down.

Those behind him were also wetted and fell down one after another.

This is siege.

There are no shortcuts, only tragedy!

This goes back and forth until a real first appears.

He climbed onto the city wall and used his sword to kill the enemies surrounding him, creating an opening and gaining a foothold.

During this process, more people came up to kill the enemy with him, and then more people came up.

Starting from a point, clear out all surrounding enemies until the city wall is completely occupied...this is success!

This process is difficult!

There may be tens of thousands of casualties, but it may not be successful.
To be continued...
