Chapter 35 Siege

After a short rest, the attack in the afternoon will start again.Just look at the entertainment embarrassment picture
The soldiers seized the rare leisure time, or lay on the ground looking at the sky, or lay on their sides with their eyes closed to rest their minds. There were also a few fellow villagers who leaned together and talked about family affairs. to wipe away tears.

Guan Ping actually knew that the wives and children they were talking about were probably already destroyed in the flames of war. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars have been burning everywhere in the world, and families have been destroyed. eat.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.This is an eternal truth...[

"Brothers, wake up." Guan Ping took a deep breath and called the soldiers up.

When the soldiers of the trapped camp hurriedly lined up, Zhang Liao commanded the rest of the soldiers and horses, and they had already approached the tower.

A new round of offensive began, and a new ladder was put into use, but it was still the same as in the morning.

It has to be said that although Hou Cheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, and his martial arts is not high, he still has a way of defending the city.

The commander is also not in a hurry, using a crossbow at any distance, and only when the enemy soldiers climb to a certain position, they start to smash down the wood and cannon stones. He is a very good city defense general.

However, his greatest weakness lies in his heart; for profit, he can betray anyone; and how to control him to play the greatest role depends on the level of the leader.

When the battle between the attackers and the defenders deepened, Guan Ping led his own troops and began to pile up the earth mountain according to the method in the morning.

With experience, he will naturally become more proficient and speed up; the city wall of Xiapi is about five meters high, so Guan Ping plans to build the earth hill above five meters in order to achieve the effect of overlooking.

The earth hills are piled up, and the further you go to the back, the more soil blocks are needed, and the larger the project volume is, and when the soldiers carry the load to move the soil blocks up, because the height increases, the shields are difficult to cover, and the casualties are even greater. .

In just a quarter of an hour, seven or eight people who were in charge of reinforcing the earth mountain had already fallen down, almost twice as many as in the morning. If this continued, Guan Ping would at least lose hundreds of people by the time the earth mountain was piled up.

Being trapped in the camp is Guan Ping's lifeblood, and he will not allow this to happen no matter what.

"Stop! Put down the tools in your hands, and retreat under the cover of shields!" Guan Ping shouted decisively.

After retreating to the camp, Guan Ping was still thinking hard about a solution, but Gundam and others came forward to meet him.

"Lord Colonel, this pile of earth is an order from General Zhang. If you retreat before it is completed, this..."

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to not kill people, but also to pile up mountains of dirt." Guan Ping frowned and thought.

"Master Lieutenant, this is considered a very small number of casualties. Some troops have already suffered nearly a hundred casualties."

Guan Ping remained silent, extremely depressed.

But at this moment, Han Fei, who had been silent all this time, interrupted. "My lord, why don't we come out and pile up at night."

Most ancient soldiers were malnourished and suffered from night blindness, and it was inconvenient to march at night. Therefore, unless it was an emergency or a sneak attack, they generally did not fight at night, especially in siege warfare. [

Guan Ping hadn't spoken yet, but Gundam denied it: "This is definitely not possible. Firstly, the soldiers can't see clearly; secondly, there will definitely be disturbances. Then the enemy army is afraid that we will attack in the dark, and they will shoot arrows randomly, and our casualties will be even greater. public."
