Chapter 812 The Neglected Power(2/2)
So far in this battle, no one, whether it is Wang Mi or Liu Yu, these generals who are good at conquering and fighting, has issued a formal order to attack the city.
In other words, so far, the Jin army has only attacked the city wall, but has not sent soldiers to climb the city.
Why is it arranged this way?
Wouldn't it be better to climb the tower earlier, kill the enemy troops, and occupy Yecheng?
The Jin army is not without this ability.
All of this is because the Jin army is fighting over long distances, and entering the city too early will consume the Jin army's troops in advance.
If we start to seize the city now, we must send soldiers to formally board the city. Once the soldiers' feet leave the ground, they will inevitably be in danger.
If the Qin soldiers want to attack the soldiers who are climbing the city, they only need to occupy the tower, and they can continue to attack the Jin army like hunters waiting for the enemy.
Such a siege operation consumes too much money.
In the absence of follow-up reinforcements, it is not suitable for immediate use.
Therefore, before the war started, Liu Yu and Wang Mi discussed when to start the siege. In the end, they unanimously decided to consume as much of the living forces in Ye City as possible first, and finally wait until the city was empty before attacking the city, so that they could maximize their power.
Use limited troops at the most critical moment.
Therefore, all the breaks in the city walls are not caused by the fierce attacks of the Jin soldiers, but by the artillery.
Although the current artillery is not powerful enough to completely collapse the mud wall, it can still be done with a certain blow.
If the same position happens to be hit by several artillery pieces at the same time, the possibility of damage is still very high.
However, under the current circumstances, simple damage to the city wall will not play a big role in the Jin army's siege operations.
Liu Yu's continuous attacks did cause great damage to the defenders in Ye City, but it did not cause them to completely collapse.
A force is needed. In the dark, everyone seems to be waiting for that moment, not knowing where it will jump out. As long as there is this force, the situation can develop subversively.
Everyone is looking forward to that moment, not just the Jin army, but also the Qin soldiers in the city.
The long and fierce battle is physically and mentally exhausting, even for the generals, let alone the soldiers who need to go into battle in person.
This life is still in my own hands now, but I can't tell whose hands it will be in the next moment.
Everyone wants to live.
There is nothing to be ashamed of if you want to live.
Especially when the war has reached this point, it is already dark, and many people hope that the situation will change in an instant and stop completely.
And where will this force that drives the situation change appear?
Is it Wang Mi, Wang Shilang, who is about to arrive at the South City Gate?
Or Liu Yu and Liu Jinnu who are fighting fiercely under the city?
still……
Some power that has never been noticed?
On the north gate tower, Zhang Hao persisted for too long and was really tired. He saw that the situation had reached a stalemate for the time being. Although Fu Zuan's combat effectiveness was average, he was able to withstand the Jin army's offensive, so he retreated to the city for a while.
rest.
Either the old general wanted to run away from the battle, or he no longer wanted to persist, but if he didn't take the opportunity to take a rest at this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have time to rest.
It was almost getting dark.
On the battlefield and on the towers, torches and candles were lit everywhere.
Although it is forbidden to light lights in the city, there are still some lights in some places. There are various workshops and soldiers are working hard to prepare for war and make various weapons.
In the darkening night, no one noticed that there were still some people on this most strategically important city tower, and they were always there.
Swish, brush, brush!
Lake lake lake!
We are happy masons!
With Zhang Hao gone, we will be happier.
The little masons A Hua and A Liu were working hard on the lake wall, and their hearts were already filled with joy. They caught a glimpse of Zhang Hao and saw that he had already walked down the tower.
That tired figure showed that if there were no major changes, Zhang Hao would not be back for a while.
Isn't this the moment that everyone has been waiting for?
If you want an opportunity, won't the opportunity come?
Ah Liu was the first to react and immediately moved a few steps towards Ah Hua. Although the project was not over yet, because the sky was getting dark, the battle situation had entered a stalemate, and the old general was not on the tower. If you don't fish at this time, when
Fishing?
Therefore, even the slightest little movement could not attract the attention of the guarding soldiers at all.
They are busy avoiding danger in the tower now!
"Ahua, how are you?"
"I think we can take action!" Ah Liu's voice was very low, almost a whisper, and the noisy sounds on the battlefield also provided them with cover. So far, no one has heard their voices.
Moreover, the work they are doing has not stopped.
This makes it even more covert.
Ahua is a steady person. He looked at the situation above and below the city and still refused.
"It's not done yet. I think that if we want to take action, we have to at least wait until the Jin army starts to attack the city."
What Ah Hua said makes sense. Since the inside should cooperate with the outside, then the inside can only cooperate when the outside also wants to attack the city.
