Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 812 The Neglected Power
The catapult was running non-stop, and countless stones, big and small, round, square, and irregular, all smashed into Yecheng in one go.

The catapults of the Jin army are very characteristic. They are not only large lever catapults, but also throw boulders into the city.

At the same time, the Jin army also assembled a lot of small catapults. They said they were cars, but they were actually leather pockets that could catapult stones.

This kind of catapult, compared to their giant big brother, has a smaller range and is not high enough, which is caused by the size of the catapult.

However, this catapult is easy to use, requires only two people to operate easily, and also has a large number.

Don't look at the small stones thrown, it seems that the power is not that great, but in fact, such small stones are enough to give people a deadly attack.

Just think about hail. No matter how big the hail is, it is much smaller than the stones on the catapult, but even if it is hit by the hail, it is very likely to hurt people's lives.

In the TV news of the last life, Wang Mi often saw such news.

So, when many generals objected to him favoring the small one among the two catapults of different sizes, he did so resolutely.

Moreover, these improved small catapults were personally delivered to the battlefield of Yecheng.

At this moment, even General Liu Yu had to admit that Wang Shilang's method was indeed the best!

These small catapults are so useful!

Countless small stones leaped into the sky like a flock of birds, covering the sky of Ye City, which made Qin Bing, who was hiding behind the city wall and eager to fight the enemy, suffer greatly.

Many soldiers died here before they could rush out of the city gate, and there were still many people who were not dead, at least they were injured.

Qin Bing, who was beaten by stones and bleeding, often fell behind in the fight, even if he rushed out.

Countless small stones seemed to have opened a net in the sky of Ye City, and dealt a brutal blow to the forces in the city.

Of course, this kind of attack is also indistinguishable. Due to the fierce fighting situation, many people in Ye City were injured by stones.

This further weakened Di Qin's strength.

Will the people who are still wandering the streets and alleys of the city at this time still be ordinary villagers?
It's not wrong to say that they are villagers, but their status has changed now, it should be Qin Bing!
Most of these poor people were temporarily arrested by Zhang Hao to supplement the source of troops, and they were originally just the most ordinary people in the city.

These people have no interest in fighting, and they have no experience, and their martial arts skills are almost zero. Now, it is really pitiful to be beaten before they even go into battle.

As a result, the news from Wang Mi's side can be discerned even if it is true or false.

Although it claims to have an army of [-], in fact, there are not so many soldiers and horses in the city.

Of the so-called 1 people, about half of them are young men who were temporarily captured. Not only are these people not to be feared, but even Di Qin has to be on guard.

It was agreed that the top and bottom would work together. Of course, it was not only the stone formation protection net in the sky, but the Jin army under the city was also busy and did not stop for a moment.

As for the focus of their attack, it was not about killing the Qin soldiers but how to attack the city faster.

Like Xiangyang, the Yecheng city wall is also a mud-brick structure wrapped by bluestone bricks. This structure is difficult to destroy directly with the current Jin army artillery.

The hole that was blown through was just a coincidence and did not continue to be useful for reference.

Although Di Qin did not do well in this battle, objectively speaking, they were quite well prepared.

This is mainly because before the Jin people arrived, the Xianbei people had been trapped outside the city for many days. For such a long time, Ye City was facing the danger of being destroyed.

As a result, Yecheng's defenders, including Zhang Hao and Fu Pi, realized that this time there was going to be a tough battle.

During the confrontation, on the one hand, Fu Pi sent Yang Baihua to Jingkou for help, and on the other hand, he strengthened the defense of Yecheng.

Reinforcing the city walls, forging weapons, and training soldiers, almost nothing fell. So, it seems that the hardware of Ye City is very perfect.

It is not easy to break through directly from the front.

For example, generally speaking, the weakest part of a city wall is the city gate.The city gates of this era, no matter how strong they claim to be, are actually made of wood in the final analysis.

As long as it is a wooden gate, it is always easy to conquer.

But now, for the Jin army on the attacking side, there are also difficulties.

The city gate of Ye City was originally made of particularly sturdy and thick wood, not to mention, a huge bolt was placed behind the city gate.

Ordinary large wooden stakes cannot penetrate the city gate at all.

So, Jin Jun can't help it?
of course not!

That giant divine crossbow has the absolute strength to siege the city.

In Xiangyang, the Jin army did just that.

A divine crossbow passed through the door, what else could stop the Jin army from attacking?
Why don't you use such an artifact quickly?

Yes!

I really want to use it, the question is, does it work?
No!

Really do not have!

Why not?
Don't you forget?
This time the Jin army was a long-distance raid, and the environment here in Yecheng could not be compared with that of Xiangyang.

It was too far away from Jingkou, the base camp of the Jin army. In order to get to Yecheng as soon as possible, Wang Mi could only keep the team as short as possible.

In terms of personnel, it is natural that one cannot do it. In this era, fighting still depends on the head, and winning more with less has always been the minority among all kinds of victories.

Of course, the new weapons that Wang Mi carefully crafted must not be taken less, so he could only sacrifice part of the cumbersome traditional weapons and could not accompany him.

Since he lacked a heavy crossbow for siege, Liu Yu had to choose other methods.

And this method comes from underground.

In a place firmly occupied by the Jin army not far from the city wall, a group of Jin army soldiers were digging tunnels into the city.

The soldiers were attacking the city and digging soil at the same time. Liu Yu had only one idea, which was to empty the city of Ye from all sides.

To make Yecheng lose the power to resist, in every aspect.

As a result, under Liu Yu's various offensives, veteran Zhang Hao was already tired of coping, and gradually felt that he was alone.

Now there is another tip, saying that the enemy army is about to appear at the Nancheng Gate.

Just like a thunderbolt from the blue, the old general who fought was dizzy.

However, he didn't have a good solution, he could only take one step at a time.

At this time, Zhang Hao really understood what it means to be outnumbered and outnumbered, falling into the vast ocean of the people.

If the city of Ye was now in the hands of the Jin army, then the people in the city would stand by their side as a matter of course.

Help the defense, or even volunteer to form a death squad and go out of town to fight to the death.

It is a pity that now it is Di Ren who occupies this city.

Most of the people in the city are Han people, and these Han people will never sincerely help Di people.

Even if they offered sincerity, Zhang Hao couldn't believe it, because gullibility on the battlefield was the most deadly.

In the past, the Di people were always very powerful, invincible and invincible. When the original inhabitants of a city surrendered to their feet, they would not have imagined that there would be a moment of disadvantage.

As a result, in the chaotic and fierce battle situation, in the countless fighting and shouting, veteran Zhang Hao felt desolate and sad for the first time.

Perhaps it was his fate to be buried here.

After all, everyone else is dead.

He deserves to die here too.

Yecheng is a good place.

The attack outside the city was still fierce. Since Wang Mi added firearms to Liu Yu and the others, Liu Yu was uncharacteristically and no longer used it so extravagantly.

It seems that the momentary embarrassment just now brought him a great psychological shadow.

Liu Yu no longer dared to fight uneconomically.

The firearms brought from Jingkou all the way are not many, they can only be used sparingly.

Although it is necessary to save, the effect of fighting cannot be weakened at all, so Liu Yu improved the efficiency of the use of traditional cold weapons.

Especially the useful weapon like the catapult is even more fun to use.

With the support of the catapult, the Jin army's battle formation was getting closer and closer to the Yecheng city wall.

As long as they can reach the base of the city wall of Ye and meet with the people who dig tunnels, they can move on to the next procedure.

That is the official capture of the city!
Correct!
do not doubt!
Up to now, no matter it is Wang Mi or Liu Yu, none of these generals who can conquer and fight well have ever issued an official order to attack the city.

That is to say, so far, the Jin army has only attacked the city wall, but did not send soldiers to the city.

Why is this arranged?
Wouldn't it be better to go to the tower earlier, kill the enemy, and occupy Yecheng?
Jin Jun is not without this ability.

Everything is because the Jin army is a long-distance raid, and climbing the city too early will consume the Jin army in advance.

If you start to seize the city now, you must send soldiers to officially climb the city. Once the soldiers' feet leave the ground, they will inevitably be in danger.

If Qin Bing wanted to attack the soldiers in the city, they only needed to occupy the city tower, and they could continue to attack the Jin army like a hunter waiting for a rabbit.

Such a siege operation is too expensive.

On the premise that there is no follow-up reinforcements, it is not suitable for immediate use.

So, before the war started, Liu Yu and Wang Mi had a discussion about when to start the siege.In the end, it was unanimously decided that the living force in Ye City should be consumed as much as possible, and finally the city was empty before attacking the city, so that the limited troops could be used as much as possible at the most critical juncture.

Therefore, all the breaks in the city wall now are not from the onslaught of the soldiers of the Jin army, but the credit of the artillery.

Although the current artillery is not powerful enough to completely collapse the mud brick city 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, there is still a high possibility of damage.

However, under the current circumstances, the simple damage of the city wall did not play a big role in the Jin army's siege operations.

Liu Yu's continuous attack did cause great damage to the defenders in Ye City, but it did not cause them to collapse across the board.

It takes a force. 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 have a subversive development.

Everyone is looking forward to that moment, not only the Jin army, but also the Qin soldiers in the city.

The long-term fierce battle is exhausting, even the main generals are the same, not to mention the soldiers who need to fight in person.

This life is still in his hands now, but it is uncertain who will be in the next moment.

Everyone wants to live.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in wanting to live.

Especially when the battle is over, it is already dark and dark, and many people are looking forward to the situation changing in an instant and stopping completely.

And where will this force to change the situation appear?

Is it Wang Mi, Wang Shilang, who is about to arrive at the South City Gate?

Or is it Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, who are fighting hard in the city?

still is……

Some power that has never been noticed?

On the north gate tower, Zhang Hao held on for too long, and was really tired. He saw that the situation had reached a stalemate for the time being. Although Fu Zuan had average fighting strength, he could be considered to have withstood the offensive of the Jin army, so he retreated to the city for a while. rest.

It's not that the old general wants to escape, or he no longer wants to persist. If he doesn't take the opportunity to rest at this time, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest.

It looked like it was getting dark.

On the battlefield, on the tower, torches and candles were lit everywhere.

Although it is forbidden to light the lights in the city, some places are still lighted up a bit, that is, various workshops and soldiers are working hard to prepare for battle and make various weapons.

Under the darkness of the night, no one noticed. On the most important tower in this strategic location, there were still some people who were always there.

Brush brush!
Gooey!
We are happy masons!
Zhang Hao is gone, we are happier.

The little masons Ah Hua and Ah Liu worked hard to paste the wall, and their hearts were already happy.They caught a glimpse of Zhang Hao's figure and saw that he had walked down the tower.

That tired figure indicated that if there were no major changes, Zhang Hao would not come back for a while.

Isn't this the moment that everyone has been waiting for?

If you want an opportunity, isn't the opportunity coming?

Ah Liu was the first to react, and immediately took a few steps to A Hua. Although the project was not over yet, because the sky was getting dark, the battle had entered a stalemate, and the old general was not on the tower. Fishing?
As a result, a little bit of little action could not attract the attention of the guard soldiers at all.

They are now busy avoiding danger in the tower!
"Ah Hua, how are you?"

"I think we can act now!" Ah Liu's voice was extremely low, almost whispering, and the noisy sounds on the battlefield also provided cover for them. At present, no one heard their voices.

Moreover, their work has not stopped.

This is more covert.

Ah Hua is a steady person, he looked at the situation in the city and down the city, but still refused.

"It's not done yet, I think, if you want to do it, at least you have to wait until the Jin army starts to enter the city."

What A Hua said is not without reason. Since the inside should cooperate with the outside, then the inside can only cooperate when the outside also wants to attack the city.

How can there be no movement from the Jin army, these unarmed craftsmen want to start in advance.That's not helping, it's going to die.
