Chapter 396 Old General Don't Always Grow Other People's Ambition

The signing army and the people's husband are the sacrifices of this war, and they are the flesh and blood fuel for the main army to advance. If they don't die, how can the army advance smoothly?

As for how many they died, what is there to be concerned about?

Die at any time, arrest at any time, there are not many other people in this land, and there are many people.

They are illiterate and do not understand reasoning, so if you sacrifice them in exchange for victory, why not do it?
Wanyanliang and Wanyan Benjian, who lived behind them, observed the defense of the Restoration Army by sacrificing these miserable people, and found that their defense strength was very strong, and the firing frequency of long-range strike weapons was also quite high.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the bandit army is well-trained. If our army launches a strong attack on all sides, the losses may be difficult to limit."

Wanyan Benjian persuaded Wanyanliang not to be besieged from all sides again, but Wanyanliang didn't care.

"How many troops can a city have? Besides, if it's not for siege, what are we doing with so many siege equipment? This rushing chariot is as high as [-] feet, heavy and expensive. Even I feel that it is expensive. Smack your tongue, if it's not for attacking the city, what's the use of it?"

Wanyan Liang glanced at Wanyan Benjian displeasedly and said, "Old general, don't always grow other people's ambitions, the army of the Dajin Kingdom is the strongest, and the bandit army is also the bandit army after all. Worth worrying! Siege!"

Wanyanliang didn't listen to the persuasion, and Wanyan couldn't help it. He didn't dare to forcibly oppose it, so he could only bite the bullet and give the order to siege the city, so that the real main siege force could get ready.

When this trapped area is filled, the main force of the army will cross this trapped area and start operations against the moat.

Before that, with the blood and tears of the signing troops, the Jin army also pushed the catapult and the crossbow into the siege range and began to attack.

They also attacked the riverside city with large arrows and stones.

The sharp big arrows pierced the air and rushed towards the city. Some hit the city wall and were ejected. Some were directly embedded in the city wall because of the positive angle. Some hit the city wall, causing certain damage to the Restoration Army. threat.

In contrast, the trebuchet was a bigger threat. Huge stones fell like raindrops outside the city wall, inside the city wall, and in the Hejian City. While bringing casualties to the defenders, it also brought some damage to the city. Strike, causing damage to buildings close to the city walls.

The huge sound shocked the hearts of the people in the city. Those ordinary people who had never experienced the siege of the city hid in a safe place, listening to the rumbling sound, their hearts were indeed afraid.

One of the tasks of instructor Wu Anxiang is to appease people during wartime, and to mobilize the people in the city who have not become reserve soldiers to support frontline operations.

They can do something within their power.

For example, when the weather is cold and the reserves of winter clothes are insufficient, they can sew thick clothes, shoes and socks, and hoods, or wash and dry the clothes for the front-line soldiers, and then help the fireheads to cook for the front-line soldiers to eat. Mouth hot.

Everyone has something within their power, and as long as they can act, they can contribute to defending the city.

As the second-in-command of the City Defense Command, Wu Anxiang's mission is to sit in the city, soothe people's hearts, and organize the people to support the front line.

The importance of these things is no less than that of the frontal battlefield of city defense.

He walks between each construction site, inspecting the working conditions of the people in each place, and solves problems when there is a problem. When there is no problem, his appearance in military uniform and patrolling can also bring a sense of security to the people in the city.

As long as he is still patrolling, as long as his body is still upright, then Hejian City is as stable as Mount Tai - many Hejian residents think so.

The original wealthy and noble families in the city basically followed Su Yonglin's southward retreat to Shandong for refuge, and the people who stayed behind were ordinary people.

These big families who entered the city had more opinions than those landowners and squires. They knew that it would be difficult not to exist as cannon fodder once a war broke out, so regardless of whether they were willing to serve as Su Yonglin, they should seek refuge in safe places like Shandong.

The house at home was blocked, the door was blocked, the valuables were either taken away, or those that could not be taken away were dug a hole and buried, anyway, they would never contribute anything to Su Yonglin.

Come back after the war is over, they are still the masters of this land.

The financiers still need them to govern the country.

But that's fine, without their presence, it saves some troubles.

Right now, in the entire Hejian City, except for some elderly people and too young babies, there is no one who stays stupid and does not go to work. Everyone is working, and everyone has something they can do. , everyone is guarding the city of life by himself.

If Hejian City is saved, their lives will be saved, and if Hejian City can't be saved, they will meet the death together with the guards.

The golden soldiers outside the city are like wolves and tigers, and they must believe that their children and soldiers can defeat these golden soldiers who are like wolves and tigers.

The attack of the Jin Bing was as violent as a storm, and the defenders of the Restoration Army on the city head were also very resolute. A large number of military supplies were carried to the tower, and teams of brave soldiers carried the supplies to the front line to fight. in the hands of the soldiers.

The crib crossbow fired one after another thick arrows, and the strong soldier roared and waved his sledgehammer, sending out his anger along with the arrows.

The soldiers who operated the trebuchet only hated that they couldn't load more stones into the net pockets, otherwise they would be able to inflict greater damage on the golden soldiers and smash them into puddles of flesh.

In the process of advancing, the Jin Army was attacked fiercely and effectively by the Restoration Army, and suffered great losses, but this did not stop the advance of the Jin Army.

Due to the superiority of the number of Jin soldiers and their lack of human rights, a large number of signed troops were thrown on the front line.

The dispatch of the regular army is not as sloppy in defense as the signing army. The shield can't protect against huge stones and thick arrows. It needs the same war equipment to prevent it.

Wooden mantles, Linchong Lu bus, nest carts, chariots and other war equipment were in full force, and the densely packed infantry followed behind.

And there is no doubt that the moat bridge car is the one rushing in front, which is a war machine that exists against the moat.

The moat of the big city is not a small ditch outside the small county towns. It is a real river, with a width of several feet or even dozens of feet.

Even if it freezes in winter, the defender will have a lot of options.

Or sprinkle salt to ease the freezing, or send someone to set up a boat to chisel the ice, or pour some lime to increase the temperature of the river water.

Even if it freezes, if the weather is not very cold and the ice layer is not very thick, it is better to keep it than not to keep it.

However, this winter is very cold. According to the local people, the freezing will be more thorough, so Jiang Liangping simply sent people to empty the water of the moat in advance, leaving only a huge pit as the road for the Jin army to advance. hindrance.

In order to further increase the obstacles, Jiang Liangping also placed a lot of broken gun heads and sharpened wooden sticks at the bottom of the pit.

The defender has a way to make the moat work, and the siege has more ways to deal with it.

The so-called magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. If there is an obstacle, there is a countermeasure. The skilled craftsmen in ancient times designed many kinds of equipment to deal with the moat, among which the most effective is the moat bridge.

This kind of equipment appeared during the Warring States Period.

In the Tang Dynasty, moat bridges began to use folded decks to cope with increasingly wide moats.

In the Song Dynasty, the wheels began to be mounted on the moat bridge, which became the moat bridge car, which strengthened the mobility of the moat bridge.

Trench bridges are expensive and huge, and their carrying bridges are up to [-] feet wide. If eight are used at one time, they can provide a smooth road up to [-] feet wide for troops to pass through.

A canopy can also be built on this kind of temporary bridge, to a certain extent, it can protect the troops crossing the river from being attacked by concentrated fire, and protect the soldiers to safely reach the other side of the moat through the moat bridge.

This is for soldiers, but siege equipment cannot pass through this bridge, so if the siege party has huge siege equipment, it is necessary to let the soldiers fill the river with soil and solve the moat, so as to allow the huge siege equipment The equipment can cross the moat and directly attack the city wall.
