Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Although Xiao Zirong's voice was crisp and clear, he could still tell with one ear that it was a young man who spoke.

After the general shouted, he stood there squinting at the city wall, poked the adjutant next to him and asked, "Is there...is there still a...little lady standing on the city wall? Or is it a little gentleman?"

The adjutant glanced at it: "I can't see it clearly, but she looks quite handsome. She should be a young lady, right? It's really strange. Why are there so many young ladies in this city?"

The building general also frowned, but he didn't say anything, and began to divide his troops while making people attack the city gate here.

The one standing at the top of the city seems to be the leader, so the opponent will definitely pile up troops on this city gate in order to defend against them, just in time he can divide his troops to sneak attack on other city gates.

According to the geographical location of this city, there should be at least one city gate.

The building generals knew that they were at a disadvantage now. They actually carried ladders when they marched, but they were relatively simple ladders. It was no problem to deal with ordinary city walls, but let’s forget about this city wall now, and two ladders can’t go up. .

So they can only forcefully break the door, but they are not without advantages. The biggest advantage is that they are sneak attacks, and the opponent should not be fully prepared for the hasty fight.

He has already had people start using flying claws on the wall, especially since the other party probably doesn't know how many of them there are.

Zhuangjiang left 100 people here, and the other 200 people pressed to another city gate. As long as they can break through a city gate, they will win half of the victory.

It turned out that when he walked forward, he realized that such a small city actually had a moat!

The only good news is that the bridge over the moat is not a suspension bridge, they will not be suspended, they can still cross the river through that bridge, but there is also a problem - the bridge is very narrow, and it can only allow two people at a time In parallel, even if there are only 100 people and others to pass, it will take a while, and this range is already within the range of the opponent's archer. If you really want to pass by two or two, you will add food to the opponent!

Zhuang Jiang was also a straightforward person, he turned his head directly and said to the adjutant: "You take these people to the north city gate, I am here, boys, let's go into the water!"

If the bridge is not easy to walk, then everyone can swim across the water. Anyway, this batch of people sent out are all sailors.

After all, you have to go by sea. If you don't know how to fall into the sea, wouldn't you be waiting for death?

Xiao Zirong had already prepared Zhang Gong to whack hamsters, but he never expected that the other party would go into the water in large quantities, and they were still swimming very fast after entering the water.

He stood on the city wall and stared dumbfoundedly at the other party coming over. He was a little puzzled for a while: If he can swim, what is the use of this moat?

In fact, infantry is the main force these days, and no one will let the navy fight land battles, let alone siege cities.

This time, whether it was Zhujiang or him, it was really a coincidence that they both encountered things that were hard to understand in their lives.

Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer, and the vanguard had already approached the city wall, Xiao Zirong didn't care about being surprised, and directly ordered: "Prepare the crossbow arrows, let them go!"

The first wave of crossbow arrows are all bursting arrows, in order to force the opponent back, whether it is blown to death or scared to death, anyway, it is best to make the opponent fearful and dare not attack the city again.

When the opponent's crossbow arrows came over, the general building shouted in time: "Shield!"

Well, let alone, although his team has only 300 people, it has a complete range of troops, including crossbowmen and shield soldiers, and the only thing it doesn't have is cavalry. Seasickness, in case of seasickness is difficult to deal with.

The building generals thought very well, their big shields are very strong, they can completely block the opponent's wave of crossbow arrows, and what they want is not only to block, but also to move forward while blocking, and when they are under the city wall, it is considered to be a stepping stone. The crossbow has nothing to do with them.

After all, we all know that the range of the crossbow is fixed, and it cannot be adjusted flexibly. As long as it passes the distance of its range, it will become safer when it gets close.

As for the opponent's archers, they also have archers, and they will all enter each other's attack range at that time. They can also hide in the shield and launch a wave of long-range strikes. In terms of the quality of the archers, their Wei State has always been stronger. with.

The only annoying thing is that the city wall is too high, and some archers with insufficient strength are completely useless, so they can only try to hit the city wall with the ram.

The building general thought very well. In fact, his strategy can be regarded as a standard strategy for siege. It only depends on who has more people, who has better weapons, and who is more able to delay.

As a result, after a wave of crossbow arrows came over, Wei Jun originally thought that it would be safe to retract into the big shield, but unexpectedly those arrows ignited fire halfway, and when the arrows fell on the big shield, those arrows instantly sent out a huge explosion. sound, and exploded.

Many of the large shields in Wei Jun's hands were directly blown to pieces, and even if they were not damaged, they were all distorted.

Wei Jun was extremely flustered for a moment, completely confused about what the other party used.

Even the building general panicked: "What were those just now? Was it thunder?"

When the crossbow arrows were shot out, they burned halfway because of the white phosphorus coating on them, so from the surface, it seemed that each of the arrows was on fire.

But even with the fire, the general is not in a hurry, after all, the rocket is not a strange thing, it has always been useful.

It’s just that rockets are generally used to burn the opponent’s food and grass to force the opponent to retreat or defeat the opponent. The general’s food and grass are at the back, which is not within the range of the crossbow. When seeing the rocket, the general can’t help it Laughing at the other party for being dizzy, there is a moat not far from them. Even if the fire from the rocket falls on the clothes, they can retreat into the moat to put out the fire.

It turned out that this arrow turned out to be something he had never seen before!

General Zhuang couldn't help but let the soldiers retreat, trying to retreat out of the range of the crossbow arrows, intending to take a look at what the other party was up to.

And after a wave of rockets forced the opponent back, Xiao Zirong was slightly relieved. The wave just now was to catch the opponent by surprise, and then give them a buffer time here.

After all, most of the people in the city, even the members of the guards, did not receive such rigorous training, at least not like the later generations who can get dressed and assemble within a few minutes after blowing a whistle. They do not have this ability, and Xiao Zi Rong has not had time to start training them like this.

After forcing the opponent back a wave, most of the people on their side were ready and had their weapons in their hands—almost everyone had a Changshuo in their hands.

Of course, it is impossible for this Changshuo to be made of iron alloy, only the head is, and the rest is still wood.

Lu Liu ran up the city wall and said, "City Lord, everyone is ready."

Xiao Zirong asked, "How is it?"

Lu Liu said with a serious face: "Don't worry, the city lord, we will never let anyone go!"

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to comfort her by saying that she might not go out to fight hand-to-hand, but the other party was too frightened by their bursting arrows to move forward, and they just need to wait for orders now.

As a result, after listening to Lu Liu's words, he felt that his worry seemed unnecessary. After the initial panic, Lu Liu's expression looked as if he was eager to try, and Xiao Zirong was suddenly worried.

These people under him, if they are timid to fight, he has to worry.

Obviously the military strength in his hands... Well, it should be said that the weapons are much stronger than the opponent, and the number of opponents is not very large. With the passage of time, the sky is faintly pale, and the situation below can be more or less clearly seen , Looking carefully, there are probably more than 100 people.

Judging from the number of people on both sides, they still have the upper hand - excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are about 150 people on their side who can go to the battlefield, which means that they can directly charge up with a knife.

Xiao Zirong felt that there were few people on his side before, so he wanted to build a place where almost all the people were soldiers, and he didn't ask them to be so cruel, as long as they could defend their home and country when foreign enemies came, they didn't even need to defend the country. As long as you can stand up bravely and defend your homeland.

There are so many people, and they have bursting arrows and gunpowder bamboo tubes in their hands, no matter how they look at it, it is impossible to lose.

As for the situation of the battle, Xiao Zirong didn't hide anything, in fact, there was nothing to hide, too much concealment would easily make everyone panic.

As a result, after knowing that the opponent's number is not as large as their own, these people are not afraid anymore.

Seeing that Xiao Zirong frowned and said nothing, Lu Liu couldn't help asking for a fight and said, "City Lord, why don't you open the city gate and let us rush out, I don't think they are anything special."

Xiao Zirong glanced at her with a rare coldness in his eyes, which extinguished a lot of the fire in Lu Liu's heart.

"Do you know what a proud soldier must be defeated? You are like this now! Do you really think that you can't die in a battle? It is inevitable to rush out and fight with the opponent. Death and injury are inevitable. What's the wind? What's more, how can the opponent only come with more than 100 people? Maybe big The troops are right behind, and if you open the city gate now, you are leading wolves into the house!" Xiao Zirong said angrily, "Go and explain it to them, and remember, try not to engage in hand-to-hand combat in battles where long-range strikes can be won without a single soldier! "

Xiao Zirong actually understood what these people were thinking. Those men probably had a dream of galloping on the battlefield. At this time, seeing the other party being beaten so hard that they didn't dare to step forward, they got carried away with excitement.

As for the little ladies... They were afraid of being bullied, and they finally had a place to live in peace. Now that the intruders came, they wanted to copy their hoes and beat them away.

Don't say they have the advantage now, even if they don't have the advantage, these little ladies are not afraid.

After the opponent exited the attack range of the crossbow, Xiao Zirong also ordered to stop the arrow, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

Xiao Zirong is a little strange, the opponent has only two choices now, either retreat or continue to attack, what's the use of stopping there?Do you still want to let them run out of ammunition and food in the city through siege?

But this is only possible when the two sides are evenly matched. He still has a gunpowder bamboo tube in his hand. If he really can't stand the siege and can't stand it, it is not impossible to blow up a way.

Now Xiao Zirong did not give such an order mainly because if bombing was really going to happen, the one-third of an acre of land in front of the city wall might be bombed beyond recognition, and even the newly built stone bridge would be affected.

Everything else is fine, this bridge is not easy to build, and it will be a waste of time.

He stood on the city wall and looked at it for a while, then suddenly realized, he turned his head and said to Lu Liu, "Quickly, send someone to the north city gate and secure that side as well!"
