Zhao Kuangyin personally walked up to the fierce battle city and looked down at the city. The troops were swaying like a vast ocean!

Tall ladder trucks looked like monsters from an ant colony.

The noise was like a wave of sound, making people's ears buzzing and buzzing.

The stones thrown by the catapult cart and the crossbow arrows of the crossbows flew down one after another. The rockets were flying brilliantly in the air, with a huge array, but they fell into the East China Sea like small stones, and even a wave could not arouse.

At this moment, he imagined that there was a huge wildfire that could fire a prairie from the wilderness under the city, or a tornado whistling by, which would have caused so many people and horses to be destroyed in the sky and earth!

But no one has mastered the power of the gods. Only mortals have their weapons to attack the vast army without any pain.

Even the blacksmith Guo used an unexpected stone-towed cannon, although it was scary, it could not achieve the power of divine power.

However, attacking and defending cities is an ancient method of war, and sometimes a slight advantage can affect balance.

What amazed Zhao Kuangyin was the morale and combat power of the Zhou army's siege!

Logically, the ants will not dispatch the most elite troops to attack the city. When he heard the shouts under the city, he probably judged that the Shu Kingdom surrendered soldiers on the side were climbing the wall to attack?

The courage and morale required for this kind of attack is no less than that of field charges!

Zhao Kuangyin is an experienced general. Of course, he knew that even if there were 100,000 troops on the battlefield, most of them would just follow the orders of the generals in the rear, and rarely face the situation of facing death and fighting to the death. Therefore, a strict military discipline can be considered a powerful army even if it is a powerful army... It is not that easy for those who truly have the courage to charge in front, and it is a test of the single qualifications of the soldiers.

He had to re-examine the combat power of Zhou's army.

Arrows flying around on their heads, and the shouts of killing were at their feet. Zhao Kuangyin's personal soldiers were holding shields in front and escorting nervously.

Just then, not far away, hey!Hey yo's shout attracted Zhao Kuangyin's attention. He looked sideways and saw three soldiers lifting a heavy 100-pound round stone together!

The Northern Han army should have used stone bullets to smash the Zhou army.

The bare female wall in front of them had been bombarded and collapsed, and a ladder was placed in the gap.

Suddenly, Ah screamed, and a soldier holding the stone was penetrated by an arrow!

The weight of the stone immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground. Another soldier fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He screamed in vain and the heavy stone hit his foot.

The general behind shouted: Push the stone down!

But after a while, a soldier from Zhou had already climbed up the ladder and shouted: I am the first to go to the wall!According to the Zhou army's military exercises, the first person to attack the city and survive must remember great achievements. The soldiers will also be promoted to become the deputy commander of this command and take effect immediately!

And such people will come into the emperor's sight.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Northern Han soldiers holding cherry guns rushed to the gap. The cherry gun stabbed the Zhou soldiers. The sound of metal hitting, and several cherry guns stabbed him but did not pierce the armor!

But many people's thrusts lifted the soldier back, and the man staggered and was overturned and turned over. Suddenly, a terrifying scream came, and then a dull bang was heard.

A moment later, another soldier jumped up. He saw a large group of spearmen guarding the wall, shouting with red eyes: Long live the Great Zhou!He rushed up with a sword and shield without any worries. After a while, he was stabbed to the ground by the rioters. The soldiers of the Northern Han army shouted and surrounded him, holding swords and guns and stabbed them wildly at his feet. There was a ding-knee bang, and blood was splattering in the crowd, and some soldiers were covered in flesh and blood on their heads and faces.

Two more Zhou soldiers rushed forward one after another, and both sides slashed and killed each other desperately, and the swords and guns cut on the armor like the sound of a blacksmith shop thundering.

At this moment, a soldier came up with a black oil barrel.

A general from the Northern Han Army personally took the black oil barrel and poured it down!

As a torch was thrown out, the flames and black smoke rose together, and waves of miserable screams sounded from below!

The fierce turbulent oil is very good at dealing with the cloud ladder because it is very sticky.

Whether it is tung oil or sesame oil, when splashing on the ladder like water, most of them will flow away from the gaps between the ladders; but the hot tincture oil will be different, it will stick to the ladder and flow along the wood... It's just a pity that there is too little to be consumed.

These things were transported from the south for thousands of miles, and then traveled to Youzhou.

Wood and bricks and stones rolled up and down the city walls, and fires burned on many ladders, and the smell of blood and burnt paste spread among the shouts.

Not long after, the Zhou soldiers under the city finally dropped the broken ladder beside the city wall and retreated like a tide.The soldiers of the Northern Han army on the city wall shouted and shouted to celebrate.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin said: Let’s go down the city first.

So he took a few military generals and soldiers down from the inner city.

As expected, as he expected, within a while, he heard the sound of cannons outside the city... and big rocks rolled up to the top of the city.

A large stone just hit the crowd of guards who were in large numbers, and blood and blood were splattering, and a group of people were panicked and dodged.

There are also stone bullets flying up to hit the female wall, which is even more lethal!

Although the city wall is spacious, the place is still limited. The soldiers who were fighting to fight to the death to attack the Zhou army were very dense. The bricks and stones on the female wall were violently hit and flew around. Some soldiers covered their faces and screamed, and blood soaked out from their fingers.

A large number of dense infantry were shouted by the generals to evacuate down the city.

Several earth stoves and pots with golden juice were also destroyed by stone bullets, and the golden juice flowed on the ground.

The floor tiles on the city wall were smashed and splashed, and the above was in a mess.

The stone bullets were very large, and one person might not be able to kill a person, but they could not withstand hundreds of doors and round after round. There were countless strong men who used to dig stones alone.

Occasionally one of them flew over the city wall.

Zhao Kuangyin looked up and saw a round stone rolling down and flying quickly into a second-floor attic.

With a bang, the heavy stone smashed straight through the roof. As soon as the beam broke, the entire roof collapsed, and fragments of wood and soil fell all over the street, and a large amount of dust rose up.

Zhao Kuangyin looked back at the neighborhoods near the city walls and many houses were destroyed. It seemed like an earthquake was caused, and there was a ruin!

Shi Shouxin said: The Zhou army's tactic seemed to be to consume the Jinyang defenders, first attack the city, and then bombard it with cannons.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, shook his head and said: It seems that this is the case at the moment... But I think Guo Blacksmith is a man with a high understanding and never sticks to the rules. If I guess correctly, he will soon re-format the tactics.

What other tactics are there for siege?Shi Shouxin frowned.
