Chapter 534 Daqian Bailian’s first trial
"Kill!"
When the battle began, under the command of the officers, the first step of the Daqian army was to push the trench bridge and shield cart forward.
Therefore, trench bridges are actually used to deal with things such as trenches and moats that hinder the attack of the army. It can ensure that the attacking soldiers will not receive arrows in vain because of these things, and speed up the soldiers to charge quickly.
The shield chariot is a man-pushed chariot specially used to defend against local arrows. Originally, the trench bridge could withstand the arrows before the trench bridge was lowered, but after the trench bridge was lowered, these people became a living target for the archers. Therefore, shield vehicles are needed to provide protection for them.
In fact, in these short three days, Daqian's army could not produce many siege equipment, but they could still prepare more shields, chariots, trenches and bridges.
Not for anything else, just to avoid being injured when attacking, to give the soldiers a chance to survive, and to prevent the army from collapsing due to unsatisfactory attacks.
Similarly, as the pass on the opposite side, its construction is generally based on the terrain. If nothing else, its defensive capabilities are at least much stronger than those of the county seat.
For Daqian's Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, siege is very simple. Just build ladders and city assault vehicles, and then use the lives of untouchables to pile them up.
However, most of the new Jiangnan camp that has been formed now comes from the same place. It can be said that many of them are members of their own clans. Even if the people above want to charge with human lives, the soldiers below can rebel for you.
These are different offensive methods formed under different systems. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, it just depends on whether they are suitable or not.
Behind the shield vehicle are the conventional siege ladders, siege ladders and siege vehicles, which are specially designed to break the city.
On the side of the White Lotus Sect, being in a pass, they naturally stocked up a large amount of military and defensive supplies, such as kerosene, rolling logs, stones, arrows, etc.
It's just that this kind of material is consumed very quickly. Even if there is a lot of reserves, it is theoretically not enough.
"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"
After the trench bridge was laid, the shield car covered the archers and started to throw arrows after they walked to a certain distance.
These archers will continue to shoot arrows at the city wall under the cover of shield carts. Not to mention whether they hit or not, the emphasis is on suppression.
Under this kind of suppression, the White Lotus Sect's defenders would feel very uncomfortable. They would have to fight back at the risk of arrows flying from nowhere to prevent the enemy from scaling the city wall.
"boom!"
As the siege ladder landed on the city wall, the soldiers hiding behind the shield chariot sprang out, then climbed up the ladder and rushed upward!
"kill!"
The situation became increasingly chaotic. Daqian relied on his superior troops and used tools to forcefully turn the terrain unsuitable for attack into suitable for attack, and then attacked frantically.
At the same time, under the cover of a large number of attacks, the city ramming vehicles also attacked the city gate of the pass.
Staring at the flying arrows, the White Lotus Sect guard couldn't help but curse.
"Fuck, you are crazy about riding a horse, Wang Jinlue, take people to guard at the city gate, don't let Da Gan's stupid attack come in!"
"promise!"
After watching the person who had been ordered to lead the troops down, the guard began to organize the army to defend.
"The fire oil, the fire oil used by the horses, burned those siege tools!"
"Archers, shoot back with arrows, shoot back with arrows!"
"When the others move, the sword and shield men step forward to block the arrows for the spearmen, knock the enemy back, and don't let them come up!"
"Tell the brothers that our defense is very good and the enemy cannot attack us."
Naturally, the defenders had already been replaced by the newly formed Protector Army. Although they did not have the essence of learning, they still had the configuration that the Han army should have. In addition, they had experience in defending the city, so they could barely stop it. Stop the enemy's attack.
"Kill, kill, kill. No compensation for killing one, but we will make profit if we kill two!"
For a time, there were all fierce flags on the walls and under the walls, arrows were flying randomly between each other, and the sounds of killing and shouting were endless.
I saw soldiers from Daqian's army getting out of the shield car to attack directly after setting up the ladder.
The defenders of the White Lotus Sect relied on kerosene to light the shield carts, and then rolled stones and logs to greet them.
"what!"
"Save me save me!"
Even if Daqian's army selects elites and equips them with better armor when attacking, in the face of this kind of thing, flesh and blood is really unable to resist.
I saw someone being doused with kerosene, and then turned into a torch, scurrying around wailing.
Some people were hit by oncoming rocks and their brains were split, causing them to die.
Others were hit by rolling logs and had either broken arms or legs, forcing them to withdraw from the battle.
But even so, the soldiers who attacked Daqian would not stop for a moment. It does not mean that they are not afraid of death, but that they have to be brave and not afraid of death.
It can be said that as long as the losses are not too great and the attack does not go smoothly, the siege army will not stop.
There is no way, this is the so-called first climb to the death. As long as you can be the first to climb the city wall and stand firm and survive to the end, you will be a general and a soldier.
This is a way to reach the sky in one step. Although there is no chance of success, there is hope!
It's just that all of these general soldiers are miscellaneous general soldiers, but thanks to their official status, they can barely be regarded as entering the powerful class.
Moreover, this is only a small battle. If the enemy's most tightly defended city and the most important target are captured, then the first to conquer can be received by the emperor, and then gain a powerful commander-in-chief, and can also be knighted.
Even though the interior of Dagan is rotten in his heart, this kind of thing is still regarded by the soldiers as a way up, even though it is almost blocked.
"One two, one two, one two."
The defending army of the White Lotus Sect has naturally learned the so-called slogans one and two, so as long as they put down the fear in their hearts and listen to the slogans, they can easily retreat the Daqian soldiers who came up.
In this regard, General Daqian, who was paying attention to the attack not far away, found that his own attack was not smooth, and even if he came up to the wall, he would be beaten back.
At the same time, the scout came to report: "General, reinforcements from the White Lotus rebels are here, about ten miles away from us!"
After the general heard this information, he looked at his siege equipment and saw that many of his siege equipment had been burned and damaged.
So he knew very well that this attack would not be able to take this pass.
"The goal of this battle has been accomplished. Please withdraw your troops and retreat!"
"Clang clang clang!"
Soon, Daqian's attacking army retreated like a tide, and then the whole army of Daqian was seen breaking camp and retreating.
When the White Lotus Sect defenders saw this, they couldn't help but shout, while the defender looked solemn in response.
"Is this the Jiangnan camp newly organized by Da Gan? It's much stronger than the original county soldiers!"
"Besides, the retreat was so decisive!"
The deputy general also agreed when he heard this: "Yes, if they persist for a while, when our reinforcements arrive, we can eat them all!"
The guard shook his head and smiled: "Ask the military doctor to treat the wounded quickly, and the other soldiers will replenish their fluids immediately!"
These were all learned from the Han army, but were adapted by Jiang Fenghua's Dharma Protector Army and changed by Yang Shida, who increased the proportion of doctors in the army, and then agreed on the commonly known title as military doctors.
The so-called replenishing water is actually the so-called water with salt added among the Han army.
Because he didn't know why, Jiang Fenghua's Dharma Protector Army abandoned this kind of thing, and Yang Shida picked it up. Even though he didn't know why, he understood that the Han army at least would not do such a useless thing. achievement.
However, they are not as luxurious and wealthy as the Han army.
So the salt they used was not good, so that although the water was salty, it had a bitter taste. .
"Bah, bah, bah, this water tastes really bad!"
