Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 258 Eight Siege Methods
Zhongjing City is the political, military, economic and cultural center of the Liao Kingdom.

It is the largest among the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom. It is 4200 meters long from east to west and 3500 meters long from north to south.

The outer wall of Zhongjing City is 6 meters high, all of which are made of rammed earth, with a top width of 15 meters, and a horse face is built every 90 meters on the outer wall of the city wall for defense.

There are also the inner city and the imperial city, which are surrounded by rings. The entire Zhongjing can accommodate about 20 people.

The above is the information Qin Guan found with his mobile phone.

Ha ha.

Of course, there are not so many people in Zhongjing City now, and 3 people were transferred to Luming Mountain, where they were wiped out by Qin Guan, and Yelu Hongji took away another [-] Imperial Forest Army, and now there are only about [-] to [-] people.

After Qin Guan occupied Yuzhou City without bloodshed, he immediately counted the supplies and prepared for the next big battle.

After finishing the statistics, Xiong Da came to report,
"Master, now we have enough food, enough to feed the army for three months. There are thousands of cattle and sheep as meat, but it was frozen in heavy snow, so we couldn't find any vegetables, but we got a lot of wild leek flower sauce."

"When we set out from Xiongzhou, we had 1 soldiers and more than [-] logistics troops. They were all our Xiongzhou soldiers. After these few battles, we lost nearly [-] soldiers. Later, we added some from the logistics troops. Forty thousand soldiers."

"Soldier armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows are complete, and they are all equipped with mounts. They are extravagant. They all ride two or even three horses. If the frontier soldiers and forbidden troops in the country see it, they will probably die of envy."

"All kinds of materials are also very sufficient, and there are more than 4 catties of explosives."

Explosives are a good thing, and now the entire Northern Route Army knows that explosives are an absolute offensive weapon, so the Firearms Battalion is also strictly controlled.

Speaking of this, Xiong Da paused, and said: "Master, those firearms are all used by the personal guards, none of them are damaged, but a few machine guns have their barrels replaced. However, the consumption of bullets is too high."

Qin Guan asked, "How much is left?"

"There are still more than 2 rounds of ammunition for heavy machine guns, and about 25 rounds of ammunition for light machine guns." Xiong Da replied.

Hearing this number, Qin Guan was also very helpless. To be honest, he was already using these bullets very sparingly.

It can be said that if you can use it, try not to use it.

1 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, not to mention Metal Storm, a gold-swallowing behemoth with 1 rounds per minute, is the Russian heavy machine gun currently used by Qin Guan, with [-] to [-] rounds per minute, and two heavy machine guns fire [-] rounds. It's just a matter of ten minutes.

As for general-purpose bullets, well, there are 10 general-purpose machine guns and nearly a hundred rifles to feed.

These more than 20 rounds of bullets are estimated to be the amount of bullets consumed by a US military brigade for several days of training.

Qin Guan nodded, indicating that he knew.

Qin Guan knew that they regarded those firearms as treasures, and the personal guards used them personally to guard them and not let others touch them. Now Qin Guan's personal guards have expanded to 500 people, and all of them have received gun training. There are only about 100 people who can get guns.

Qin Guan has vacated most of the weapons and bullets in the space, and handed them over to the personal guards for management. Now his space is empty.

In Qin Guan's space, there are only a few pistols, two sniper rifles, two shotguns, two boxes of RPG rocket launchers, and two AK47 rifles and some matching bullets.

Qin Guan already had a plan in mind, and ordered: "Yuzhou City is very close to Dading Mansion, let's keep it as a base, and we also have a place to rest."

"Okay, master." Xiong said.

"No outsiders are left in Yuzhou City, and the Han people let them leave directly. As for those who surrendered from the Liao Kingdom, including those from Yuzhou, they all rushed to the front line."

Now Qin Guan has a lot of surrendered soldiers. He has recruited nearly 2 people in Yelushi, and another [-] people in Luming Mountain. In addition to the Liao people in Yuzhou, he now has five or six soldiers in his hands. Wan Liao State prisoners of war slaves.

Early the next morning, Qin Guan led an army of [-] and drove [-] to [-] Liao slave soldiers to the city of Zhongjing.

Looking at this team of 10 people from a distance, it is really full of momentum.

Qin Guan didn't know that the emperor of Liao had already fled with the remaining [-] Yulin army.

Dading City was very empty, and the officials had no choice but to mobilize manpower from each family and reorganize a defensive team of about 2 people.

Facing Zhongjing City, Qin Guan asked Han Yuqing, "How do you think we should attack such a big city?"

Han Yuqing said: "My lord, siege is nothing more than siege and force attack. The methods can be divided into fire attack, water attack, soil attack, plague, noise, tunnel warfare, spy infiltration and other methods. The Zhongjing city in front of me, I think siege and attack can be used. If you attack with fire, you can attack with earth if you break a city."

Qin nodded and agreed.

To besiege the city is to send heavy soldiers to surround it, cut off your food and water, starve you for three to five months, one or two years, and open the door to surrender by yourself.Being besieged by the enemy is terrible. Food is decreasing day by day, physical strength is weakening day by day, coupled with severe psychological pressure, there have been many incidents of cannibalism because of being besieged in the history of war.

Fire attack is to throw fire into the enemy's city with bows, arrows and catapults, which can cause great damage to the enemy.

As the name suggests, water attack is to use water instead of soldiers to attack the enemy.The main forms of water attack include "damming and flooding the city", "breaking the embankment and rushing towards the enemy", "breaking the water to trap the enemy" and so on.Most of the ancient city walls were rammed with earth, and watering them naturally became a shortcut to siege the city. First soak you in water for two or three days.

Soil attack is to directly use soil to fill up the trenches and moats, and forcibly build a road. Qin Guan seems to have used this method when Mongolia attacked a certain city.Each of the [-] cavalry carried a bag of sand and threw it under the enemy's city wall. A mountain of earth could be built in just a few days.

Plague is to use catapults to throw rotten cattle, sheep, even human corpses, and dung into the enemy's city, so as to spread disease and plague, and make the enemy helpless. It is a very disgusting and perverted trick!

It can also pollute water sources in the wild.

Tunnel warfare is easy to understand. Dig tunnels to drill directly into the city, and then attack and break it. It can also be combined with water attack.

Noise is also a disgusting trick. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers stand at the door of your house beating gongs and drums and yelling, making noise day and night.

The infiltration of spies can be imagined as a Trojan horse trick, and a group of special forces are mixed in, and the inside and outside cooperate, which is very troublesome.They even use spies to create messages and create chaos in the city, which will not make you feel better anyway.

In fact, ancient wars already had a very comprehensive system. Those famous generals would maximize their hard power and psychological tactics to win the war.

Sun Tzu's Art of War said, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city; the method of attacking the city is a last resort.Therefore, when it is not a last resort, attacking the city head-on is the most stupid way.

To put it simply, use your brain.
