Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 123 Siege Equipment
After regrouping the scattered soldiers, Amir felt worried about the Mawu County in front of him.

The number of enemy troops in Mawu County is not many. This can be seen from their attack strength, and the maximum number will not exceed 300.

But the problem now is that the opponent is defending the city and is well prepared. They will really have nothing to do with Mawu County for a while.

With their numbers, the Amir is still confident in forcibly attacking the city regardless of casualties.

But that kind of loss is too great, and he will become a bare commander after the battle is over, and he can't accept this kind of result.

When he was at a loss, the lieutenant general Maha Takal suddenly stepped forward and suggested: "Master Amir, we can make a catapult and continuously drop huge stones on the opposite city wall.

Then let our people attack during the catapult, so that while the opponent is dealing with the attack of our catapult while defending, there is bound to be no way to completely defend.

When our large troops start to ascend the city, and there are not enough manpower on the opposite side, there will inevitably be defensive omissions, so that our soldiers can attack! "

When Maha Takal made a proposal, the Amir commander immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, let's do it!"

Immediately, the two of them took action, and military orders were passed down one after another. Soon, the poisonous army sent a group of people to cut wood, and then went to the surrounding villages to find carpenters who could do carpentry, and captured them to the army. Build a catapult.

In addition, just in case, Amir also specially ordered that all the low-level people in the surrounding villages be arrested.

Soon, half a day passed, and the poisonous army captured countless civilians from the surrounding villages, and even prepared the carpenters and wood they needed. Under the pressure of the poisonous army, these Poisoned civilians with carpentry skills began to build catapults.

In Mawu County, taking advantage of the time when the other party was building catapults, the defenders of the expeditionary force in the city hurriedly replenished various supplies for the defense of the city, and at the same time, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly rested to recover their strength.

There is still a tough battle to be fought. Just now, Jiaping has received a signal from other cities. They also encountered a siege from a poisonous army, and they may not be able to support them at this moment.

I am afraid that they can only rely on themselves to defend Mawu City.

Ten times as many enemies, although the opponent's combat effectiveness is low, but the gap is so large that Jia Ping still has no idea.

He could only prepare as well as possible, defending Mawu County, and waited for the fighting in other places to end as soon as possible so that someone could come to support him.

This time, the Poison Army has no plans to gather a large army to fight the expeditionary army.

Except for a few places where the expeditionary army gathered, Shendu sent a group of people to confront each other, and the body with enough troops directly divided up the army, using the county seat as a single attack on the entire city on the border of Nanli County.

So not only Mawu County, but the entire border of Nanli County has already been fired at this moment.

All the defenders faced at least twice as many troops as their own.

Of course, some people may say, didn't they recruit some servants?
Why is there no news of them from the boss?

This is about the composition of the servant army. Nowadays, most of the servant army in Nanli County are composed of middle- and lower-level civilians in the county, and the time is not long, so the overall combat effectiveness of the entire servant army can only be described as low.

Once they are placed on the frontline of the cruelest battle, coupled with their natural fear of the poisonous army, maybe the servants on their side will put down their weapons and surrender without waiting for others to attack.

Therefore, in order to prevent them from dragging down the combat effectiveness of the army, and to avoid such outrageous things as teammates surrendering before the battle, all the servants are regarded as local defense forces.

To be more precise, it should be the security team. Maintaining the local law and order is already the greatest contribution they can make.

As for letting the servants go to the battlefield, don't be kidding, don't run away and smash your own formation.

Time passed quickly, and there was not much time for Jia Ping to prepare. When the sun was about to set in the evening, the poisonous army finally built five catapults after a busy day!

The craftsmen were ordered to continue building overnight. Based on the current progress and the difficulty of building catapults at night, they should be able to build five more by tomorrow morning.

By tomorrow, the poisoned army will have five catapults.

Seeing the five catapults that had been built, Emil was very satisfied, and went up to touch two from time to time, and began to think about the scene of attacking Xiamau County with these catapults tomorrow.

Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, he looked back at the six-meter-high city wall of Mawu city wall behind him, and ordered the carpenters to build some ladders for climbing the city wall in addition to building five more catapults tonight. six meters.

Although the craftsmen complained, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to answer honestly.

……

Jinwu falls to the west, and the moon rises to the top.

The night was getting dark, but the belligerents were still brightly lit.

On the side of Mawu County, several brigades of soldiers were left standing on the city wall with bright lights to prevent the other party from attacking at night.

The poisonous army attacking the city was much bolder. Although the lights were also brightly lit, it was for the carpenters to see and build what the army needed.

The carpenters who were captured were working overtime bitterly all night, and except for a few guards in the camp, most of the poisonous soldiers began to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Even those who stood guard were dozing off bit by bit.

Standing on the top of the city, Jia Ping, who couldn't sleep at night, was watching the specific situation of the Poison Army barracks in the distance with a telescope specially produced in Yunzhou County.

Through the binoculars, Jia Ping naturally saw their night guard situation which can be described as terrible.

Normally speaking, when faced with such negligent enemies, it is time to lead the team out and give them a fierce night attack to let them know that the world is dangerous.

The designation can bring a painful lesson to the poisoned army on the opposite side.

However, the number of defenders in Mawu County is too small.

There are only more than 200 people defending the city in total. If you lead the team out, it will be good if you can succeed.

But everything, just in case!

If he was killed with the night raiders, it would be a bolt from the blue for Mawu County!
The remaining troops could not hold Mawu County at all.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Jia Ping did not plan to launch a night attack at this time.

He had too few cards in his hand to afford to bet.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight pierces through the night, and the purple morning light sprinkles on the earth. Coupled with the mist in the early morning, there is a magical feeling of blurred dreams.

And this also means that the next day is here!
Around the beginning of Chen Shi, after a busy day and night, the poisonous army finally built all the siege equipment needed. After breakfast, they pushed the catapult and came to the city of Mawu again, ready to launch the second attack. !
