You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

Things developed smoothly, and both parties had their own plans.

No matter how we deploy our troops, we will ultimately have to compete in terms of military, material, and people's hearts.

The city wall withstood the bombardment of trebuchets for several more days. A large amount of earth and rocks were deliberately and deliberately thrown on the slope. This continuous bombardment for nearly more than a month directly created a slope that reaches directly to the top of the city.

The tactics have met the requirements, and it is time for strategic deception to succeed. Any military operation that wants to succeed requires the right time, location, and people.

God came to help. It was not yet night, and the originally crisp autumn weather suddenly turned drizzle. It began to rain lightly. With each autumn rain and cold, the defenders on the city wall became even more uncomfortable, and they hid in shelters. People were shivering in their single clothes in the Tibetan Soldier Cave or Wengcheng City. Of course, the most crowded place was the Tibetan Soldier Cave area with bonfires for lighting. After all, it was much better to have a fire to keep warm on such a cold night.

Of course, there are still elite troops wearing raincoats patrolling back and forth. At first, they reprimanded the former city tower defenders who left the city without authorization. However, they did not change their ways despite repeated admonitions, with little effect and not very good results. After all, they were not willing to patrol the city in this damn weather. Over time, we gave up, not to mention that rainy days are not suitable for siege.

Of course, these people also hate those under the city wall. In this horrible weather, some rolling stones are thrown up from time to time to scare people, and occasionally some burning wooden piers are thrown up. Fortunately, they can be dragged to a sheltered place to keep warm. As time goes by, many things gradually become accustomed to them and they begin to become numb and relax their vigilance.

It has been raining for three days at a time, and it is getting colder and colder. Even the patrol intervals of the elite soldiers are getting longer and longer, and sometimes there are even only a few scattered people from a small team out patrolling.

The Eighth Prince, as the chief officer, was currently in a decent-looking shop near the city wall, inviting some of his guards to drink and eat meat inside.

Even on such a cold day, he kept in mind his third brother's advice. He was not allowed to drink too much due to military duties. He just drank a little wine to warm himself up.

During the long night, I had no intention of sleeping, so I started chatting with these guards about the mountains. Whether it's complaining or winning people's hearts, those in power will have their own plans and methods. Looking at the light rain that continued to fall outside the house, I thought that it would be a good night to sleep tonight, so I specially ordered some wine and food to be sent to the brothers who were guarding the city to warm themselves up. Of course, these food and drinks would eventually fall into the hands of the generals who were defending the city.

At this moment, Commander Lian Po's military tent was secretly gathering all the military and political staff officers and generals, plus the two newly promoted generals Zhao Yun and Murong Yunhai.

"Calculating the time, we have been stuck in the city for a month. The weather has started to rain and become cooler. The light rain will probably not stop for a while. Let's take a look at the statistics of the execution of each mission these days!" Lian Po's commander-in-chief Dam Jin Dao Sitting in the middle position, he said to his deputy,

"Yes, General. Each army has been performing its duties during this month. Yizhou City has arranged detailed operations to secretly promote Jinzhou's policy of dividing fields and land. From the news coming back, many people are very eager to see us unify Yizhou. Prefecture. The soldiers inserted into the enemy army also played a certain role. Although they did not win over many people, many people would secretly remain neutral. News came back from the rear and contacted some family forces, and a small number were willing to surrender. Her Majesty the Queen, for the most part remains neutral and reserves her strength to wait and see.”

"A hole has been opened in the city wall, and earth and rocks have been thrown to build a small slope of 300 steps. Visual inspection should be able to rush to the top of the city in one fell swoop. Trebuchets and crossbows are also regularly used to clear the ordnance obstacles on the city tower. But The enemy troops in the Tibetan Soldier Cave are helpless. Fortunately, God is with us. With this rain, it is estimated that there will not be too many soldiers hiding in the cold Tibetan Soldier Cave."

"The weather and the right location - both people and people have the upper hand. The sand table deduction is a surprise attack on a rainy night like this. The probability of successfully capturing the Jinzhou City Tower in the middle of the night is very high." This conclusion makes people excited as soon as they hear it. Shocked, it's finally coming.

………….

Before dawn, Yizhou City was shrouded in a thin layer of rain and fog. It was a freezing late autumn dawn. Except for the occasional barking of dogs, everything was immersed in this peaceful and quiet night. However, behind this tranquility, a well-planned surprise attack is quietly unfolding.

Commander Lian Po, a seasoned veteran with great military exploits, personally commanded this battle. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, observing every detail of the battlefield through the mist. Under his command, 100,000 Jinzhou troops, like ghosts in the night, quietly arrived at the designated battlefield position under Yizhou City.

Before the sky broke, Commander Lian Po pulled out the sword that had been with him on the battlefield for many years, pointed forward, and gave the signal for battle. In an instant, the trebuchets began their rhythmic roar, and huge fireball piles were ignited, turning into meteor-like trajectories, extending towards the city wall of Yizhou City. The fireball piles drew fiery arcs in the air, and finally hit the city wall violently, erupting with a deafening noise. The city wall suddenly ignited a raging fire, and some of them hit the illuminated bonfire and ignited the wood next to it. .

At the same time, the bed crossbows also began their supporting fire. Rockets penetrated the air and flew toward the city wall with a roaring sound. The kerosene on the arrows met the burning fireball piles, instantly igniting an even more violent flame. The firelight reflected the sky and dyed the entire city wall red.

The defenders on the city wall fell into panic. They had not expected such an attack and ran around in panic, while some tried to put out the blazing flames. However, the fire spread too quickly, and many places on the city wall turned into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time of chaos, Zhao Yun and Murong Yunhai each led 1,500 elite warriors fully armored, like two sharp blades, charging upward from the collapsed city wall. If someone looks down from the city wall, they will find that their figures in the dark night look particularly majestic under the light of the fire. The sound of the collision of armor is intertwined with the noise on the battlefield, forming a thrilling war song. They were well-trained and used the firelight on the city wall to rush upward silently with their heads covered. The later they were discovered by the defenders, the better it would be for the Jinzhou Army.

Not to be outdone, the Jinzhou Army in other places began to noisily light torches, raise ladders and charge, pretending to attack other sections of the city wall to attract the attention of the defenders. For a time, the entire Yizhou City seemed to be besieged from all sides. In the dark night, the defenders could not see clearly how many people were under the city. Their panic caused the defenders' morale to drop sharply.

Commander Lian Po stood at a high place, watching the changes on the battlefield with piercing eyes. He already had a comprehensive plan in mind, and every move he made was extremely precise. He knew that this surprise attack was not just a simple attack, but also a psychological war. He wanted to plant the seeds of fear in the hearts of his enemies, and cooperate with the news spread by the spies these days to make them disorganize themselves in chaos.

None of them are children of luck, and good luck will not always be on one side. After the initial panic, the generals of the garrison were woken up from their sleep by their subordinates, and began to arrive at their positions in an orderly manner. These people were all capable of leading troops to fight. Experienced generals can roughly distinguish the number and scale of the siege from the sounds coming from under the city wall.

Each of them reported the situation to their superiors. The third prince, who was resting in the Yizhou government office, soon received the military information. After getting up and listening to the summary of the news, he immediately ordered to go down. Now that the enemy's situation was unknown, all the ministries were on tight guard and threw fire oil cans and fire rain arrows at the city wall. Lighting, to find out whether the enemy is real or not. As long as you persist until dawn, you can turn passivity into initiative. He specially ordered people to tell the eighth prince who was supervising the battle on the city wall not to relax his vigilance. Be careful that the enemy will attack from the collapsed city wall. The war is about time difference. , this military order was being conveyed from the Third Prince to various departments on the city wall. Three thousand armored elites of the Jinzhou Army had climbed from the collapsed city wall to approach the edge of the city wall. The defenders on the city wall saw this dark area through the light of the fire. People, quickly warned.

With this little time difference, Zhao Yun took the lead and jumped onto the city head first. But what is controversial is that Murong Yunhai on the other side also took the lead in rushing upwards and climbed to the top of the city. Soldiers swarmed up one after another and formed a defensive formation. They trained these things hundreds of times a day, and they coordinated perfectly. They erected their shields toward the enemy and hid their weakest parts in the shields. Their spears stretched out of the shields, like a spear. Hedgehog curled up. Sure enough, it took more than ten breaths for the defenders on the city wall to react. Someone began to draw their bows and shoot arrows in this direction. The sound of bowstrings trembled endlessly, and the sound of arrows piercing the air also roared, and then the sound of the defensive formation sounded. The trembling sound of arrows hitting shields, the sound of metal and stone made by arrows hitting armor, and the muffled sound of arrows being hit by some unlucky ones.

Yingying Chuochuo couldn't see how many enemy troops there were anyway. He fired a few waves of arrows from the opposite side but the effect was not obvious, so he started to use fire feather arrows. When the fire feather arrows shot into this hedgehog-like defensive formation, the light shone through the cold light of the sword, the sharp armor that could refract the firelight, and the mirror-like round shield, allowing these people to see clearly who was coming. The equipped crossbowmen took a big breath of air.

He quickly reported this military information to the public, and soon the Eighth Prince came up with his personal guards, followed by the elite sword and shield soldiers who came out of Weng City. Holding the torch, it was like a fire dragon coming towards the collapsed location.

The Eighth Prince stood in the distance and could roughly see the situation here, and began to order his personal guards to lead some suicide squads to break the formation. On the ten-foot-wide city wall, too many people could not be put in at one time, not even a hundred people could be lined up. The few waves of tentative attempts to break the formation were all in vain. This defensive formation like a hedgehog was beyond words, so he quickly ordered ten crossbows to be moved over to break through this helpless formation.

Not long after, a group of several people moved the heavy bed crossbow over and quickly installed the giant arrow under the light of the torch. It's really different when the murderous aura comes on. An arrow can pass by from a distance of almost a hundred steps, and you can hear the sound of wailing or the sound of items breaking whenever it hits.

What a coincidence, Zhao Yun led 1,500 people on this side, and he was of no help. The huge force of the bed crossbow came over, and even the shields were stuck together. They could offset a lot of the impact, but they could only resist it. It's just three or four out of ten. Fortunately, the bed crossbow's firing speed is not fast enough. I don't know if it is because of the night that it is much slower than usual. Even with torch lighting, the accuracy is very poor. Even so, this one thousand five hundred In fact, there were only less than 1,400 people on the city wall. Dozens of people were running halfway through the dark night, fell down and rolled down the slope. Their lives and deaths are unknown. But every time a volley came, three or two giant crossbow arrows would be shot in, causing casualties of three to five people. Now it was a waste of time and lives.

Zhao Yun grabbed Pao Ze, who had followed him all the way from the previous ten-man team to the current one, and said, "It's definitely not going to work like this. You hurry down and ask for orders from the general, ask for support, and let those trebuchets move a hundred paces in front of us. Stretch out to strike. Go quickly, even if a huge boulder hits our heads, we will not blame others, only blame our own bad luck."

"Yes, General, I'm here to take on my humble duty." This buddy also knew the priorities of the matter. When he got the task, he quickly raised his small buckler to protect his vitals and walked back. This was not the most dangerous time. Walking down the rugged slope Going down is the most dangerous thing. It is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down the mountain. It's not unreasonable. Fortunately, this buddy, relying on his strong skills and good armor, was shot a few arrows from the wall by the firelight, and retreated unscathed.

In the dark night, relying on the sense of direction, I walked to some wrong places, checked what was behind me, and finally found Marshal Lian Po riding on his horse, and told Zhao Yun what he had requested.

Lian Po stroked his beard and thought deeply for only two breaths before agreeing to the request and ordering the soldiers on duty to pass on military orders.

Sure enough, after touching a stick of incense, huge rocks and burning wooden pillars began to strike in front of Zhao Yun's formation. In the words of the veteran who operated the trebuchet: "This section of the city wall has been smashed for a month. Where is the city wall?" I know all the cracks, let alone smashing the city head, don't worry! It's just a hundred steps away, I can't say I can hit it 100 times, but I can throw the stone with my eyes closed."

As the feint troops approached the city wall, the Jinzhou Army's offensive became more and more fierce. It seemed like the endless Jinzhou Army came out of the darkness. The blazing flames on the city wall seemed to be cheering them on, and the darkness was constantly devouring the enemy's will to resist.

Maybe the people who were throwing logs and rocks at the city were deliberately slacking off. Even if it was a feint attack, the attack was back and forth, and there were not many casualties on both sides.

Murong Yunhai's side was also quickly attacked by a frenzied attack by the defenders. Several trebuchets were thrown at them, and many more people were seriously injured than crossbows. As long as they were hit, they would end up with broken bones and vomiting blood.

No one can handle these casualties, so of course they must call for support from behind. After paying a heavy price of more than 300 casualties, they finally waited for the support of their own trebuchets.
