Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 790 Enemy Attack
As the sky was getting dark and the sun was setting and the moon was rising, Li Xiang ordered his troops to retreat back to the camp, and the day's siege ended.

In just one day today, the Sui army had already suffered nearly 500 casualties.But looking back at the Jin army, there were only about [-] casualties.

As the siege party, it is very unreasonable to have so many fewer casualties than the enemy.The reason for this is that today the Jin army is only doing long-range fire strikes, rather than starting a real siege operation.In the siege battle, the real casualties are the most tragic when they rush to climb the city wall.

In today's battle, Li Xiang has unswervingly implemented the artillery doctrine.Mobilized a huge number of siege equipment such as catapults, bed crossbows, and well rails to overwhelm opponents with the quantity and quality of long-range firepower.

Li Xiang had premeditated the attack on Yongliang.Therefore, a batch of large-scale siege equipment has been secretly built for a long time.Moreover, since the start of the war, he still ordered the rear to continue building siege equipment, just for this day, to fully suppress the Sui army in terms of long-range firepower, and use the output of siege equipment to take the lead in consuming the Sui army's strength.

However, in today's battle, although Li Xiang's Jin army did not lose many troops, they lost a lot of siege equipment.In just one day today, Li Xiang lost fifty well rails, eighty catapults and 150 bed crossbows.On the other hand, the Sui army's loss of equipment was only a little more than half of that of the Jin army.

However, even so, Li Xiang, Bai Qi, Su Lie and others were not displeased at all.The number of a series of equipment of the Jin army is far higher than that of the Sui army, and the Jin army can also get supplements from the rear.But once the equipment of the Sui Army was destroyed, it was really gone.

In Chang'an City.

When Yang Jian saw the comparison of the casualties between the two sides today, he was furious in his heart, cursing Yang Su, Yang Lin, Zhang Xutuo and others as trash, for being beaten so badly while defending the city.

The casualties of [-] soldiers were indeed not much compared to the total strength of the Sui army.But this is only one day. If the casualties continue at this rate, isn't it said that after more than ten days, they will become bare commanders!
At that time, if the Jin army attacks again, what resistance will they have, and what resistance will they have.

Down below, the generals who commanded the army knew that they had played a very bad battle today, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only suffer there.

Especially Yang Lin, more than half of the [-] casualties occurred in all his west cities.The main reason is that Bai Qi took advantage of him because he was not there in the early stage.

In fact, when the battle ended like this, these people were full of helplessness. The Jin army had too many siege equipment, and there was no way to suppress them all.Even the few of them were almost hit by falling rocks today.

"My lord, the enemy's siege equipment is too sharp. If it continues like this, our army may be hard-pressed to resist!" Yang Su said with an extremely ugly face.

After all, among the four generals in command, Yang Su, Yang Lin, Yang Yichen, and Zhang Xutuo, three of them came from the Hongnong Yang family with Yang Jian, so Yang Su just said it directly, without taking too much into account.

"Then our army will continue to build!" After pondering for a while, Yang Jian said viciously.

"Our army has accumulated some supplies before, and the dozen or so families that have been beheaded before have demolished their houses. I don't believe that we can't make a batch of catapults! If it is not enough, then Destroy my palace too!" Yang Jian said firmly.

Obviously, Yang Jian also knew very well that the reason why they suffered so many casualties today was because they were too suppressed by other people's siege equipment.If you want to turn the situation back, you must increase the number of equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows.

In Chang'an City, as the capital of the empire, there is no shortage of ordnance that can make catapults and bed crossbows. What they lack is the resources to make these things.After all, Chang'an City is only a city with limited resources.

Although Yang Jian had saved a part of it, it was definitely far from enough.Therefore, Yang Jian took up the idea of ​​the mansions of those aristocratic families that he had destroyed before.Disassemble it, and you can build a lot of catapults.

Of course, there is actually another way, that is to sneak out of the city and burn the siege equipment of the Jin army, but everyone subconsciously avoided this.

There are elite soldiers and strong generals gathered outside the city, and the opposing commander is not a vegetarian.If you go out of the city and attack accidentally, not only will you not be able to burn the opponent's siege equipment, but you will suffer heavy losses, which is not beneficial to the current situation.

"My lord, absolutely not!" After hearing that Yang Jian was going to demolish his palace, everyone couldn't help being anxious, and immediately said, "My lord, if you want to demolish it, you have to demolish my mansion first!"

Thinking that now it's time to demolish their lord's palace, all the generals don't know what it's like.After all, if it wasn't for their incompetence, how could they be in this situation.

..........................................

On the city wall at night, except for some soldiers who must stay on guard, the rest of the Sui army fell asleep. They panicked all day during the day, fearing that arrows or boulders would fall on them. It is physical and mental fatigue.

The entire city wall looked dead, except for the snoring sounds, there was no other movement.

It was night, when all the soldiers had just fallen asleep, suddenly there was a sound of horns from under the city wall, followed by a rain of arrows, and then there was a sound of shouting and killing, which shook the whole field.

"Enemy Attack...Enemy Attack..."

"The Jin army is attacking the city again..."

There was a sound of panic, and the exhausted Sui soldiers suddenly woke up. They grabbed the weapons around them and subconsciously stood up. However, the rain of arrows falling in the darkness killed many unlucky people.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, follow your officer closely, don't mess up, the archers start to shoot." A man dressed as a general kicked away the thick quilt covering his body, his eyes turned red, and shouted loudly .

After all, this man is a general. Although he is guarding the city wall, he has a thick quilt.But those ordinary soldiers don't have this kind of treatment. In winter, only two or three people can share an old cloth quilt.Even some unlucky soldiers didn't even have these, so they could only huddle together to keep warm.

Following the general's call, with the presence of the general, the soldiers who were in a mess just now slowly began to regain their composure, and began to follow the officers at all levels, such as the corporal commander, the division commander, and the team leader, and looked for cover to avoid the arrows. rain.

The archers also began to bend their bows and set their arrows, but in this dark night, soldiers from both the Jin Army and the Sui Army just released arrows based on their feelings, and only those unlucky ones were really caught.
