The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 272 The Prelude to the Decisive Battle ([-])
"Former general, this is the latest order from Da Sima via the zipline."

"Oh, that brother of mine is really tired. I have been beaten here for half a month before he sent the order. Well, wait for me."

Guan Yi's order was very simple, just two.[-]. Put the enemy up and fight.Second, pay attention to tunnel attacks.

This year was 268 AD, Guan Yi's body was only 35 years old, and compared with Shi Bao's, it was nearly half the age.As for the actual military experience, it is not as good as one-tenth of Shi Bao.

But as a time traveler, especially a time traveler from the era of information explosion in the 21st century.Guan Yi's military knowledge is actually more than a hundred times richer than Shi Bao's.So comparing the two, perhaps Guan Yi is still very far away from Shi Bao in front of the battle, but when it comes to defending the city, Guan Yi is really not afraid of Shi Bao.

Because, the attack and defense of cities in ancient wars came and went with just a few tricks: ants attacking the city, trebuchets bombarding the city wall, tunnel siege, long-term siege, and internal response.

With the bastion, the trebuchet was an era ahead of the opponent. The city was full of soldiers from the same country, and there were abundant reserves of food and grass.Therefore, the only thing Shi Bao can do is to attack the city in an authentic manner.

And how to defend against tunnel siege?All the city walls in ancient China had large vats buried at the base of the wall, this is one of them.

Second, the deeper the tunnel is dug, the more water vapor in the soil layer will spread to the surface.When the sun just climbed into the sky in the morning, the water vapor spreading from bottom to top will form a neat water vapor belt above the tunnel-this clearly tells the defenders that I am digging the tunnel here.

What Zhang Zun needs to do is to concentrate the firepower of the trebuchet and focus on the place where the water vapor belt is located.

Moreover, Anguo City has an urn city, and at worst, just dig a tunnel down between the two city walls.

So, in addition to guarding against the tunnel, why did Guan Yi ask Zhang Zun to take a risk and put the Jin army on the top of the city to fight?

This is of course because the number of the Jin army is too large.If you don't use up as much as possible in the city defense battle, even if Jiang Wei's main force arrives in the future, it will be very difficult to clear the siege.

"Report to the former general, the Jin army outside the city is gathering on a large scale. It looks like they are going to attack the city!"

"Oh! Well done! Beat the drums, and the whole army ascends the city. Today we don't play trebuchets, let's put them up to fight!"

……

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of war drums became more and more intense, and the atmosphere in the Jin army camp became more and more heated.As Zhou Zhi, the former enemy commander in this battle, pulled out his sword with a swipe, and pressed forward and backward fiercely, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jin army uttered overwhelming shouts and swarmed towards the walls of An Guo City!

"Hey! Old thief Shibao, this is trying to fight your master!" Looking at the densely packed Jin army under the city, it was impossible to distinguish the queue.Zhang Zun tugged at his beard: Humph, although my elder brother told me to put the enemy up and kill them more, but with such a dense crowd, I would be too sorry for Shi Zhongrong if I didn't fire a few shots.

"It's all there, order! All the trebuchets in the west and south cities will fire for two rounds first. In the third round, only [-]% of the trebuchets in the west city will fire, and [-]% in the south city!"

"Here!"

"Boom, boom boom~~~" The stone bombs carrying huge potential energy smashed heavily into the dense crowd, causing great casualties to the soldiers of the Jin army.Basically, one stone bomb will take away seven or eight lives.But this loss is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Jin troops.Two rounds of trebuchet salvos and more than 100 stone bombs were nothing more than the dense black tide of the Jin army, and some red flowers bloomed among them.

"Hey! The third round of stone bullets is actually so much less than the first two rounds. It seems that we have almost consumed the opponent's stone bullets in the past half a month!"

Although our side suffered hundreds of casualties before approaching the city wall, Zhou Zhi, the former enemy commander of the Jin army today, was extremely excited when he saw such a scene: "Send the order! Push out the siege tower!"

"Here!"

Following Zhou Zhi's order, the hundreds of siege towers built by the craftsmen of the Jin army in the past half a year were slowly pushed into the battlefield.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" The huge tower is more than 20 meters high from the ground to the top, and its weight is as high as several tons.The wooden wheel at the bottom alone has a diameter of two meters.Under each tower, there are hundreds of soldiers working at the same time to push it forward.It has to be said that this is already the most efficient and powerful siege weapon in this era.

"Hey! This Jin thief really spent a lot of money. A few days ago, I didn't push these things out to die. Orders, archers, try to shoot and kill the enemy troops approaching the city wall with ladders. Spearman team, mandarin duck team , looking for teammates Guijian. Get ready for hand-to-hand combat!"

"Hey~~~~!"

As Zhang Zun consciously reduced the use of trebuchets, soldiers of the Jin army, especially the siege towers, approached the walls of Anguo City like never before.

"Teams A, B, and C ascend the building, and Team D continues to advance!"

"Hey!" Following the orders of the leaders of the towers of the Jin Army, the hundreds of cart soldiers behind each tower were divided into two groups, and most of them began to enter the tower from the bottom and then began to climb up.A small group of soldiers continued to push the tower towards the city wall.

"Kangdang~~~" With a dull impact sound, a siege tower successfully clings to the city wall.

"Zhuge Liannu team, aim at the exit of the tower!"

Zhang Zun, who was in command in Nancheng, had just issued this order, when he heard another "clang", the thick skinned wooden board of the opponent's tower slapped heavily on the battlement wall of his own city, and then the people in the tower Jin army soldiers in white robes and black armor rushed out in a swarm.

"Swoosh swish~~~" "Puff puff puff~~~~"

The Zhuge crossbowmen of the Shu Han who had just been transferred according to Zhang Zun's order quickly released a large number of crossbow arrows at the soldiers of the Jin army, and the soldiers of the Jin army who were forced to concentrate on a wooden board were hit by a large number of arrows. A shrill howl fell down the city wall.

"Stop shooting arrows! Stop shooting arrows! There are still many enemy troops not coming out! Stop..."

The Zhuge Liannu is indeed an ancient machine gun, but as soon as the mechanism is loosened, the ten bolts will be fired very quickly.Reloading also takes a considerable amount of time.And just taking advantage of such a moment, the soldiers of the Jin army who followed up on the tower rushed out again in a swarm.

Finally, after fighting for so long, soldiers of the Jin army set foot on the walls of Anguo City for the first time.

"Good time!" As the chief officer of this section of the city wall, Zhang Zun certainly had to take the lead at this time.When he saw a burly Jin army soldier with a fierce face jumping high from the wooden planks linking the tower and the city wall, the big knife in his hand was quickly approaching him.He tilted his body slightly, narrowly avoiding the opponent's blade.With a swift slash of the ring-shou knife in his hand, a thigh left the master's body and flew in the air.

Turning around, he stabbed the Jin army soldier who had lost a thigh and fell heavily on the city wall, and finished him off completely.Zhang Zun stood up and shouted: "Squad of spears, team of mandarin ducks, form formation! Block the exit of the enemy's tower!"

"Hey~~~!"

More and more towers moved closer to the city wall, and more and more soldiers of the Jin army climbed onto the city wall.However, the Shu Han soldiers on the top of the city wall also began to gradually move closer, and formed their own formations to deal with them according to the different types of arms.

The squad, mainly composed of salt workers' spears, naturally lined up in three rows, tightly blocking the exit of the tower. Bow shooting from the side of the fort.The team mainly composed of mandarin duck formations put Jin soldiers into the city wall to fight. Due to the limited width of the wooden boards, although there are hundreds of soldiers in a tower, there can only be four or five soldiers at a time. Soldiers in the mandarin duck formation fought.With the effective cooperation of the Yuanyang soldiers, these soldiers were quickly killed.Then the following four or five soldiers continued to be killed...

"Wow~~~" After skillfully disembowelling an enemy soldier close to him, Zhang Zun ignored the blood and feces all over his face: "Tabuster! Calculate the shooting angle. Bombard the enemy tower!"

Following Zhang Zun's order, the Han army's catapults, which had been silent for a long time, began to roar again.

In the beginning, one hit occasionally, and then multiple hits at the same time.As the catapult troops of the Shu Han adjusted the angle and distance more and more accurately, the siege towers of the Jin army were hit and collapsed in large numbers quickly.

"How's the progress of our battering ram force?"

As a fierce general, what Zhou Zhi likes most is such a massive battlefield scene.But if the red part in this painting is mainly paved with the blood of soldiers from our own side, then it is impossible for him to be happy.

"General Qi, the enemy's bastion does have miraculous defensive effects. Even if our troops attacking the gate enter the gate, they will still be attacked by bows and arrows or even trebuchets from multiple angles. Now the troops attacking the gate in Nancheng have already The entire army has been wiped out, and there is not much left in the west city!"

"Hey! This Shu thief is really cunning. He deliberately made an appearance that he was running out of stone bullets to attract our army to join the main force. That's all, that's it for today, Ming Jin, the whole army retreats!"

"Here!"

"Dangdang, clang, clang~~~~" Following the Jin army's retreat signal, Zhang Zun let out a sigh of relief and roared again: "The trebuchet is fired with all its strength! The bow and arrow are fired with all its strength!"

"Hey~~~~!"
