Great Sui Dynasty

"General, look quickly! The enemy is moving!" Yuwen Chengji, who had been paying attention to every move of Yang Hao's camp for a long time, had already discovered it as soon as Yang Hao's army was dispatched.

"Have all the defense equipment been delivered?" Yuwen Chengji knew that this battle would eventually be fought.

"Hey, where is that cavalry army going? You don't need cavalry to attack the city?" Yuwen Chengji felt a little puzzled when he saw a strange soldier separated from Yang Hao's army and drove back.

"No, quickly find a place to hide!" Yuwen Chengji suddenly saw a dozen huge catapults being pushed out.For this kind of siege weapon, we can only be anxious.

"Adjust the angle, don't waste every stone, and don't let him hit your own head!" When the catapult was pushed to the predetermined location, Qin Shubao ordered to adjust the angle of the catapult. The road around Jiangdu was smooth, and it was really good to find a few stones. It is not easy, and it is necessary to ensure that Zhang Xutuo's soil-piling troops are not accidentally injured. This is not easy, and it all depends on the experience of the soldiers.

After the catapult was ready, the booming sound began to be heard, and the smoke and dust covered the sky, and Zhang Xutuo's digging troops had returned.

"All of them are there, aiming at Jiangdu City, the first wave, launch!" Qin Qiong planned to launch the first wave of strikes before Zhang Xutuo's troops arrived at the city, first to suppress the defenders on the city, and then pile up dirt for the cavalry Great convenience.

The howling stones smashed towards the north city wall of Jiangdu with destructive force. Although there were only a dozen pieces at a time, that was enough. What was needed was not the amount of damage, but the shocking effect.

After the first wave of stones fell on the city wall, the cavalry's soil-piling troops had already begun to pile up soil.Zhang Xutuo divided the troops of more than 5000 people into four groups, and every group of more than [-] people piled up the soil, so that the soil can be piled up continuously, and it will not be too chaotic, otherwise tens of thousands of horses will be crowded at once. How chaotic it was together, and Yang Hao also sent tens of thousands of infantry to dig the soil. When the cavalry arrived, they could leave as long as they picked up the soil. In this way, the efficiency increased geometrically.

"Archers! Quick! Stop the enemy!" Yuwen Chengji waited for a while to see, and when there were no stones falling again, he poked his head out and saw that the cavalry below the city were pouring the soil continuously. After a moment of doubt, he suddenly came to his senses , Realizing the seriousness of the situation, if you don't stop it, according to this posture, it won't take many days for the soil to be piled up to the height of the city wall.

"The enemy has already appeared. Aim for me before attacking!" Qin Qiong saw that the defenders on the city wall were beginning to rise up, and immediately ordered the trebuchets to continue attacking. Although they could keep suppressing the defenders to prevent them from raising their heads, the damage caused by that was limited after all. , and the storage of stone materials is not allowed, so he deliberately only released a wave of attacks and then stopped, in order to achieve precise strikes and killing effects.

"Everyone, don't panic. The enemy's catapults are not many, and the damage is limited. Leave them alone and focus on attacking the cavalry under the city!" Yuwen Chengji saw the weakness of the insufficient number of catapults. Although the power is terrifying, the harm is far less than that under the city. cavalry, so he didn't care about the casualties caused by the trebuchet to his own side, so he had to clean up those cavalry first.

"Quick! Throw it down and retreat! You can stay away from the city!" Zhang Xutuo saw that the firepower of the defenders was still pouring fiercely towards his cavalry troops under the pressure of the catapults. Although the casualties in the battle were inevitable, but Every loss of cavalry will make him feel heartbroken, so he can only urge the cavalry to move quickly, and Jiangdu City is relatively high, so a relatively gentle slope must be piled up to make it easier for the siege troops, so there is no need to use it every day. Every time he had to rush to the bottom of the city and move forward bit by bit.

"It's really spectacular. If there are tens of thousands of cavalry, no, there are fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, then they can attack together. It is impossible to say that Yu Wenhua was restless and ready to come out for a decisive battle! I finally know why the Mongolian cavalry can beat Eurasia. It seems that they are not only fierce, but also that they have used the method properly!" Looking at the shocking scene of the siege in front of him, Yang Hao couldn't help sighing in his heart, being famous is not as good as meeting, although Zhang Xutuo It is only the first time for the cavalry to siege a city and pile up soil. It is definitely not as powerful as the Mongolian cavalry, but it is enough. It appeared at least hundreds of years in advance, and it is still an unsolvable way of siege for the time being.

"No! If this continues, the soil will pile up sooner or later!" Yuwen Chengji watched the soil slope in front of him increase little by little, feeling very anxious.

"How many cavalry are there in the city?!" Yuwen Chengji asked Sima Dekan.

"There are not many cavalry in the army. Luo Yi stayed in Zhuojun and asked for some. When the Duke of Baoguo suppressed Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he took most of them away. Yang Yichen and Tu Qutong have finished carve-up, and Hu'er rebelled a few days ago and his troops suffered heavy losses, so the number of cavalry in the city will not exceed [-], and some of them are wounded who failed to participate in the battle." Sima Dekan said A series of attempts to show that Yuwen Chengji's plan to use cavalry to suppress cavalry is not feasible.

"Go and gather all the cavalry for me. You have to give it a try no matter what. You can't just wait to die! All the wounded and wounded hand over their horses, and choose people to top them, and make up five thousand! Just like Ben I will go out of the city to kill the enemy!" Yuwen Chengji didn't give up, he had to gamble no matter what, waiting to die was not his style, let alone such aggrieved is not what he wanted.

"General, at the end of the day, many soldiers are tired. Do you think you should slow down?" Although Yang Hao asked Su Dingfang to learn something from Zhang Xutuo, he still worked hard to participate in the work of piling up the soil. I don't know how many times I ran back and forth, even he felt a little tired, let alone an ordinary soldier, so he made a suggestion to Zhang Xutuo.

"Okay! Then let the two waves of people rest first, and the rest continue. This will not only maintain speed, but also restore physical strength. Otherwise, our troops will have no combat effectiveness after the real pile of soil is completed. Then the achievement at hand will not be handed over." Let people?" Zhang Xutuo also felt that he should slow down, according to this posture, he would definitely be able to attack the city wall before dark!Maybe they will be the first time in history to set foot on the city wall as cavalry, and they feel extremely excited in their hearts.

"Hey, why did the city gate open?" Su Dingfang suddenly found that the north gate was slowly opening, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Not good! The enemy wants to stop us!" Zhang Xutuo knew the opponent's plan at a glance. They chose a section of the north city wall for the pile of soil, because there is a building on the north gate, even if it is piled up, it will be impassable, and the north gate will be blocked. After it is occupied, it will be very troublesome to dig, so it is convenient for the defenders to enter and exit, but they did not expect the defenders to be so bold.

"General Zhang, the prince asked us to deal with it. You can just pile up the soil!" At this time, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin rushed towards this side with their troops. Found.

"You..." Before Zhang Xutuo finished speaking, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin led the people to kill directly.

"Don't worry, general, there are only a few thousand people, and they won't be troubled!" Su Dingfang saw Zhang Xutuo's concerns, and said with some comfort.

"They only have more than [-] people, can they fight against thousands of cavalry?" It's not that Zhang Xutuo is worried, it's just infantry fighting cavalry.

"Then, what is that?!" After the two armies fought, the picture imagined in Zhang Xutuo's mind did not appear. The situation was just the opposite. As Su Dingfang said, thousands of cavalry were killed by [-] infantry plus [-] cavalry. Hold on.Su Dingfang is not like Zhang Xutuo, because he has known this kind of warfare for a long time. It was established by General Li Jing's inspiration from the trapping camp in his lord's "Three Kingdoms". It has been enlarged ten times, but the power is not necessarily inferior, but it has only been practiced in the army. This is only a maiden battle. It is normal for Zhang Xutuo not to know. Even Su Dingfang was shocked by its power even if he knew it in advance.

The cavalry can be successful in the hands of the prince, but now twice as many infantry can defeat the cavalry. I don't know what miracles will be born in the hands of my master in the future.Both Su and Zhang were looking forward to it.
