Chapter five hundred and eighty third guarding the east gate
The Wu Yue soldiers began to attack the city, fighting to the sky, and five or six thousand troops rushed towards the East City Gate.
Although the Tang army at the top of the city attacked with long-range bows and arrows and shot hundreds of Wu Yue soldiers, it was difficult to completely repel them because when they got close, Wu Yue soldiers used shield boards to block them. The arrows could no longer play a big role. They watched a large number of Wu Yue soldiers rush to the city gate and began to attack the city.
The rushing car was constantly being attacked at the city gate, and the Tang army in the city fought to the death and stood up.
"Kill!"
The Wu Yue army carried many ladders to the city wall, then began to climb the ladders with a Teng shield in one hand and a knife in the other.
The shield blocked his body and used a knife to dig the arrows. In this way, the cold arrows shot from above, the stones smashed, and the hot soup sprinkled will be blocked by him.
However, soldiers will also be hit, fall down, and be directly injured.
Some of the Wu Yue soldiers overcome all difficulties and finally climbed to the top of the city, but what was waiting for him was a spear and a big knife, which cut him down on the top of the city again, either dead or injured.
The war was fierce, and the Wu and Yue soldiers continued to attack one after another, while the Tang army resisted tenaciously.
Both sides are completely fighting for morale to see who is more cruel.
As long as either party has a slightly weak morale, it will be suppressed by the other party.
Therefore, the war drums of both sides kept ringing and the horns were ringing to boost morale for the soldiers on their side.
Seeing this situation, Peng Jingjing pressed the hilt of the sword several times and wanted to apply for a battle.
But Su Chen shook his head and said to her: "Don't just think about fighting. Look carefully. How did the Wu Yue soldiers set up their formations in siege? How to charge? Is it inspiring you? Increase your vision and experience. If you attack the city and lead troops yourself in the future, you can also use this model."
Peng Jingjing looked down carefully and found that even if the Wu Yue soldiers attacked the city, they were not in chaos. Du Yuhou commanded the shield player to combine the square formation to cover the soldiers who did not charge and climb the city. When filling in the position, they would also come one after another, without congestion or collision, which would reduce disorder and panic.
This shows that Wu Yue soldiers are well-trained and have clear fighting styles.
Even when I get to the city, there is no chaos and is incompetent.
Peng Jingjing frowned and said, "Do you want me to lead a team of men and fight out of the city? Destroy their shield formation?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "That means we have given up our advantages and use short attacks to long, so we can continue to stick to it."
"Okay!" Peng Qingqing could only continue to wait for the opportunity.
At this time, Wu Yue soldiers used a stone throwing machine, and the big stones passed through the stone throwing cart and smashed many large stones towards the city gate and the city tower.
"Peng!"
The huge rocks are very powerful, and they often hit the corners and eaves of the city tower, smashing some eaves, and even cracking gaps in the battlements of the city walls.
However, the Tang army was not intimidated.
Some archers shoot arrows very much in the direction of the trencher to disturb their trench.
The Wu Yue soldiers and archers under the city were not willing to be outdone, and they were also shooting arrows at the top of the city with their colors.
The organization and commanding generals at the city entrance were Mu Yan and Ma Chengxin, and Ma Chengjun who was commanding the resistance at the city gate. These people were all drawn by Su Chen from the unknown low-ranking officers to promote Du Yuhou, and to be grateful to them.
Therefore, every time Su Chen would directly name these people, which naturally expressed his position, trusted them very much, and regarded them as his own people. These people naturally also gave them a favor and were also full of respect and gratitude to Su Chen.
The three of them worked under Su Chen and tried their best to serve the work together, and would never be passive and slackened.
In this way, the organization will be smoother in counter-defense and counter-offensive.
Su Chen looked at the city and the Wu Yue soldiers who were constantly rushing to attack, wave after wave, as if the tide continued to rush to the reefs on the shore, waves rolled up again and again, and then fell.
This requires countless lives to cost. Both sides have casualties, but the siege is three to four times the casualties of the defender. So if it continues according to this ratio, as long as the defender does not collapse, the siege of Wu Yue soldiers can be consumed by just fighting to consume.
But if the Tang army guarding the city appeared timidly and was defeated on the top of the city, it would be suppressed by the Wu Yue soldiers and then thrown into the city directly.
Once the troops enter the city, they will be unable to turn the world back if they want to organize a counterattack. Therefore, the control of the city is the top priority, and it is the lifeline of a city, and there must be no loss.
This kind of fighting has a certain gambling nature and is always gambling. It depends on which side cannot bear it first and then to defeat it first. It has nothing to do with the number of people and fewer people. It depends on which side's soldiers are more brave and less afraid to suppress the other side.
There are only one thousand people who can confront the city, or even a few hundred people. The rest are helping to shoot arrows and smash wooden blocks, while the soldiers below are shooting arrows and throwing stones upwards.
Both sides are trying their best to find a way to kill the other party and make the other party timid first.
In this way, they did not retreat and kept falling into a fight, and they froze for a moment.
Su Chen said: "You all see clearly that there is no good way to siege this kind of siege. Unless our defensive weapons are stronger, crossbows shoot farther, or some smoke can disrupt the opponent's formation and confidence, we have the opportunity to reduce casualties. The longer we drag, the more unfavorable it is to Wu Yue's soldiers.
"If you fight alone, the danger factor will still exist. Once you relax and your morale is depressed, you may be suppressed by the enemy and lose control of the city wall."
"I have already understood what the military supervisor said. Why don't you let me try it?" Peng Qingqing's hand itched again.
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No hurry, the time has not come. Wait for a while, and when our soldiers appear tired, you can bring the new army to replace them at that time.
"Okay, let me listen to you." Peng Jingjing did not refute and agreed with Su Chen's arrangement.
This offensive and defensive battle started from Chen Shi in the morning until noon. The weather became hot. The Wu Yue troops who were sieging the city had changed a group of people and continued to launch an attack. Only then did Su Chen order Peng Jingjing and Jing Hong to take their men to replace Ji Yan, Ma Chengxin and others, so that they could take a break and avoid fatigue fighting.
It is obvious that after two hours of high-intensity fighting, many people are no longer able to do so. Replacing some personnel and maintaining their combat effectiveness again is very important for the battle situation and is helpful for maintaining their strength and the safety of the soldiers.
"Kill!"
There were fierce swords dancing on the top of the city, spears stabbed randomly, and fighting fiercely.
Peng Jingjing held a spear in her hand and swept across the army. Although she was a daughter, he had internal strength and was also exquisite and sharp when wielding the marksmanship.
Some Wu Yue soldiers climbed up and showed their heads, but she shot them to death and fell down.
Some Wu Yue soldiers were already fighting on the city wall, but she swept away twice, and she was quite brave and fierce.
Using a sword on the battlefield will affect performance, which is too thin, so using a knife and a gun is more suitable for fighting in such chaotic occasions.
Therefore, Peng Jingjing did not use a sword, but used a spear, which had greater lethality and greater power.
When the soldiers around saw that Peng Du Yuhou had such martial arts skills, they were extremely strong and had a great morale. As soon as they came up, they reached a heavy morale.
Jing Hong came from the son of the general, and his ancestors passed on some martial arts and swords, spears and sticks. Therefore, he was also very brave at this time when he was slashing with a knife. For the time being, he was just the head and soon showed some prestige, which made the soldiers around him look at him with admiration. He thought that he was worthy of being the person he valued and trusted by Su Jianjun, and his martial arts were so good.
However, Peng Qingqing was too powerful because she was discovered by some archers below and shot at Peng Qingqing.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Several cold arrows shot, and Peng Qingqing heard the wind and felt the danger.
He used a gun to knock out several arrows, and another cold arrow came straight towards her neck. She decisively turned her body to avoid it.
