Qiming 1158

Chapter 395 No one will appreciate them
Using his clairvoyance to look outside the city, Jiang Liangping carefully folded the clairvoyance and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

A tough fight.

Definitely a tough fight.

The Jin Army is powerful and has a deep foundation. The siege equipment alone is enough for Hejian City to drink a pot, not to mention the densely packed Jin Army soldiers who can't see the edge.

Rush cars, ladders, trebuchets, building cars, large wooden veils, chariots, crash cars, trench bridges, eight cattle crossbows and so on.

Countless siege machines are poised to launch, and they are about to launch a fierce attack on Hejian City.

Those huge heavy siege machines such as Linchong vehicles, etc., even if you look at it from a distance, you can see the huge figure, and its height is almost the same as the Hejian city wall.

Jiang Liang calmed down, walked down the watchtower high on the city wall, and ordered the defending armies to prepare for defense.

There are many golden soldiers and many siege equipment, but this does not mean that the Restoration Army has nothing.

In fact, this Hejian City itself is the strongest defensive weapon controlled by the Restoration Army. In addition to this defensive weapon, there are many others.

Single soldier bows, bed crossbows, trebuchets, firearms, wood-rolling stones, super large copper tripods for boiling hot water and feces, defensive wooden signs, ramming rods, door-stopping knife carts, etc.

Even if these are not mentioned, the city gate has been rebuilt. In addition to the original city gate, an iron fence is also arranged. Once the city gate is broken, the iron fence will be lowered and become the second city gate.

Hejian City has all the defense equipment that can be used, and on the opposite side is the Jin Army who has almost all the siege equipment.

One offense and one defense, one spear and one shield, an unprecedentedly fierce offensive and defensive battle is about to begin.

Wanyanliang woke up very early that day. After breakfast, Wanyanliang walked out of her tent, took a breath of the cold air, and felt that her spirit became clearer.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky and the earth were clear and bright, and the 2 siege troops of the Jin Army were divided into four teams, and completely surrounded Hejian City from four directions.

Wanyan Benjian still suggested the old way of encircling three without one, reducing the will of the defenders in the city to fight.

But what Wanyanliang meant was that, first exert extreme pressure, then suddenly withdraw strength, and then attack again, this can greatly dampen the fighting will of the defenders in the city, so that the defenders in the city can collapse faster. Siege is more efficient.

Wanyan Benjian didn't know that this method was Wanyan Liang's method against whom, but could the method of dealing with one person be used against an army?

Wanyan Benjian had such doubts, but did not dare to say anything, so he followed the emperor's wishes and ordered the army to carry out this tactic.

The Jin army besieged the city on all sides, and a large number of siege equipment slowly approached Hejian City from all sides.

Even so, they were not afraid.

Because they knew very well that there were 29 other cities fighting with them. In addition, their leader Su Yonglin was leading a powerful field force ready to attack at any time.

They are not alone, they are not hopeless, they are not resisting needlessly.

Their resistance is for the final victory.

As long as they can consume the Jin Army's strength, as long as they can consume the Jin Army's forward momentum, then everything is worth it.

In Jiang Liangping's field of vision, he saw that the Jin Army was constantly approaching the military barrier area outside the moat.

This area is filled with all kinds of pits and horses. It is very difficult for large-scale equipment to pass here safely. It is necessary to fill the pits and remove the horses to smoothly advance to the range of the moat, and then use the moat bridge to cross the moat. , and then attack the city wall.

During this period, the defenders on the city wall would not watch and do nothing, and had already entered the attack range of the defenders from the time the siege side attacked.

Long-range attack weapons such as bed crossbows and catapults have come to attack.

What are you waiting for?
Jiang Liangping gave an order, and Hejian City started a violent attack.

At the very beginning of this offensive and defensive battle, the Restoration Army took the lead in attacking, while the Jin Army was going to fill the pit against the Restoration Army's attack, paving a way for the follow-up troops to attack.

Of course, those who perform these tasks will not be the elite main force, but mostly cannon fodder troops like signing troops, and sometimes even coerce civilians into battle.

The back supervisor team threatened the signing troops with knives, guns and crossbows, forcing them to use their own lives to pave a bloody road for the soldiers and gentlemen.

The soldiers who signed the army were helpless. Even if they were unwilling to go forward, they would be killed by the soldiers with knives and stabbed with guns. If they dared to retreat after entering the battle, they would be shot to death by arrows by the crossbowmen who were in a safe position behind. .

They have no way out, and they have little way to go. They are the most tragic group of people on the entire battlefield.

And that's just a tiny microcosm of this brutal war.

Jiang Liangping gave an order, and the defenders on the city wall started to move.

Following the commander's order, the bed crossbow burst into flames, piercing the air and rushing straight to the location of the Golden Army outside the city. It slammed into the ground and kicked up a piece of dust. The lucky Golden Soldier was able to escape, but the unlucky one could escape. The rubbing and touching are all serious injuries to start, and death is the bottom line.

The stone bullets fired by the trebuchet shot up into the sky, streaked a ferocious arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, so that a large group of soldiers around could feel the violent vibration. .

The lucky soldiers can hide, the unlucky ones are just a puddle of meat, or they can hurt their legs, arms, and become a crippled person.

The cripple in the feudal army is the saddest, because the feudal army does not need cripple, no one will spend huge medical costs to save a cripple, it is better to be a dead person than to be a cripple.

Even if you encounter a kind comrade and rescue him, and a kind military doctor stops the bleeding, there is a high probability that he will freeze to death or starve to death later.

These soldiers who signed the army did not understand why they had to suffer like this. It was obvious that they had done nothing wrong, nor did they do anything wrong.

However, on the battlefield, no one would care about this.

Once the Restoration Army's attack started, it would not stop easily. The thick arrows and huge stones effectively hindered the Jin Army's action to fill the pit, causing a certain degree of confusion.

In panic, some soldiers who signed up for the army forgot that going back was also a death. They turned around and ran back. As a result, they were killed by three or five crossbow arrows before they ran a few steps.

If a group tried to run back, they were greeted by a shower of arrows.

The icy arrow told them to either successfully complete the mission and come back alive, or become a corpse, there is no third option.

They can only grit their teeth and return to the dangerous front line with great sorrow, fill the pits, pull out the horses under the protection of limited wooden veils, exhaust their strength, and fight for their lives, in the violent wind of the Restoration Army. Their work was done under the blow of the rain.

During this period, they were continuously shot and smashed to death, and broken corpses and strange flesh mud spread all over the ground, turning the land from a bleak yellow to a strange black.

As the color of the land changed, the military barrier area outside Hejian City was gradually destroyed.

The horses were pulled out, the caltrops were cleaned up, the pits were filled up, and the signatories and the villagers used their own flesh and blood as sacrifices, which ensured the way forward for the soldiers and gentlemen.

But no one will appreciate them.

Absolutely not.
