In the next few days, the Shiwei army and the vassal army, which were originally just a tentative attack, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the right guard city of Jinzhou City like crazy.
Hundreds of repaired trebuchets, coupled with various trolleys, arrow towers, etc., after a burst of bombardment, countless sergeants were like ants, carrying ladders, riding nest carts, pushing siege engines, etc. Waiting, under the cover of the archers behind, they rushed towards the wall of the Right Guard City.
Because of the terrain, the left and right acropolis could not build three floors in one go like the former acropolis.
But as people from the Central Plains who are accustomed to defense, the Dakang army still took the defense of Youweicheng to the extreme.
The right acropolis was built into two floors, with hundreds of arrow forts and hidden fortresses of different sizes on the left and right.
The catapults on the city wall and in the open spaces within the city wall were also throwing big stones crazily.
In addition to destroying the enemy's catapult, it can also cause effective damage to the attacking infantry.
On the two-story city wall with staggered heights, in the hidden fortresses, dozens of ballistas have been set up, and possible shooting lines have been calculated.
There are also hard fortresses above their heads to defend against air attacks and avoid being damaged by enemy catapults.
At this moment, bursts of thick smoke came out from these hollow fortresses. It was not that the enemy's rockets had burned up, but that they had wrapped the front ends of the long and hard crossbow arrows with a thick layer of kerosene and ignited them. .
Once it is ignited, the operator behind presses the switch.
"Oops!"
Amidst the huge vibrating sound, the crossbow arrow flew out, pointing directly at the nest car that had broken through to within a hundred meters.
In fact, the shooting distance of the ballistae is as long as 400 meters, but the shooting accuracy is inaccurate if it is too far. In order to save the power of the ballistae, which is difficult to make, the ballistae usually only launches it at about 100 meters.
The chariot can be regarded as a mobile watchtower.
It is higher than the city wall, so the archers standing inside can shoot arrows from top to bottom without restraint.
As long as the enemies on the city wall are killed until they are unable to raise their heads, shoot arrows, smash stones, pour gold juice, etc., then the siege ladder can quickly climb the city wall.
The point of gain and loss in city defense is precisely at the moment when a large number of enemies climb onto the city wall.
Basically, as soon as this time comes, the outcome has been decided.
Therefore, even Shiwei people have made many artifacts such as the Chao Che that suppress the enemy.
The last time I was in the city, because the city had a great terrain advantage, even if the prepared nest car could reach the first floor, it could not reach the second and third floors. In addition, the city also used this kind of rocket crossbow. A lot of nest cars were burned down, so it didn't play much of a role.
This is also an important reason why Shiwei's army suffered heavy casualties.
The current Right Guard City is actually not easy to fight.
When attacking normally, it is best to attack from all sides together, so that the defenders will not be able to take it lightly.
Jinzhou Qianwei basically only had one and a half sides facing the enemy, so they could concentrate on defense, so this was another important reason why Shi Wei's army suffered heavy casualties.
The terrain of Youweicheng is not that steep, but the east side is an area similar to a river and swamp.
People can¡¯t stand firmly on it. Just trying to pull out of the quagmire requires a lot of effort. Where can we attack?
From here, if you want to attack Youweicheng, you will basically be a fool's target.
Since there is no way to pass from the east side, and the west side of the Right Acropolis is a steep hill that cannot be climbed, then there is no way to go around to the south side behind, and naturally there is no way to attack.
Having such a geographical advantage is of course the crystallization of the wisdom of countless craftsmen when the Right Guard City was first built.
They deliberately choose terrain that is extremely unfriendly to the siege party and very beneficial to the defenders. Only in this way can they form iron turtles that give the enemy a headache and increase our combat effectiveness.
When Shiwei's army rushed through Youweicheng and headed towards the Ningyuan area, they relied on a fierce attack from the north to attract their attention.
At that time, Youweicheng did not know that their main idea was to sneak tens of thousands of people across, so they nervously fought with the enemies to the north and only monitored and prepared for the enemies to the east.
As a result, when they discovered that the enemy to the east was about to cross the river, it was too late to prepare. They could only rely on the reserved crossbows and catapults, killing two to three thousand Wei troops.
Therefore, although the Right Guard City is not as high as the Front Guard City by three feet, it is still very difficult to fight.
This is why Shi WeijunOn the one hand, it makes oneself safe, and on the other hand, it also increases the strength of Zuowei City - from 10,000 people to more than 3,000 people, the strength can be at least doubled.
This is also a plan that has been established long ago.
Now it depends on whether Liao Shicong can use it or not.
Wu Kuan¡¯s meaning is very clear.
If they can still persist, then let them continue to kill the enemy.
But from the flying pigeon letter sent last night, we can know that Youwei City is already very short of various supplies, and the consumption is really too great.
And the first layer of the city wall has been defended, and the area of ????the acropolis they can control is only one-third of the previous one.
When the enemy still has more than 200,000 people, such a persistence is meaningless.
It¡¯s better to let them go to Zuowei City and unite to continue fighting them.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the fighting in Youweicheng was still going on, but it couldn't last much longer.
"For example, when facing a fortified city like Right Guard City, and only one or two sides can be attacked, attacking at night will make it easier for one's own side to become chaotic.
So there were no night battles between Shi Wei's army these two nights.
Liao Shicong put down his clairvoyance and asked Zhang Tie, who had been silent next to him, "Yong Li, what do you think?"
"They can't support us until noon tomorrow." Zhang Tieyan said concisely and concisely: "Withdraw! It has become a foregone conclusion, and their sacrifice cannot be in vain."
"Um¡¡"
Liao Shicong turned to Wu Kuan and said: "If I give you another million arrows, three thousand swords and armor, and five thousand soldiers, how long can you hold on to Zuowei City?"
Wu Kuan is the garrison general of Jinzhou City. He knows the four cities, one large, three small and four, far better than anyone else.
When Liao Shicong asked this, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said: "One month."
"Can you persist for so long? Tell me the reason!" Liao Shicong said, "Military aircraft are a major matter, and you can't joke about it!"
"First, the terrain of the left acropolis is dangerous. Although it is not as good as the front acropolis, it is definitely not inferior to the right acropolis. We have a defensive advantage.
Then the second point is that the soldiers in Zuowei City are well equipped and abundant. The original number was 10,000, plus the 5,000 people I brought with me, and those who might come to the left Acropolis from behind, it was almost 18,000 people.
The more than 3,000 retreating troops here have a lot of actual combat experience, so they can prevent us from making the same mistakes they made. Sir, you are now asking the people who have withdrawn from the avant-garde city to explain and give you some pointers. Same.
Not to mention food and various equipment. Since the Lord ordered it, I have actively transported a lot of supplies to the left and right acropolis. The food is enough for half a year. Even with this kind of high-intensity defense, all kinds of equipment and knives The arrows can also be used for ten days and a half.
"According to their fierce fighting style, they are really willing to fight like this and kill 100,000 people under Zuowei City in one breath. We are so close to 20,000 people and we can be considered a worthy death!"
This is also an important reason why I think I can persist for a month! No matter how large and elite Shiwei's army is, more than 100,000 people will die in the battle of three acropolis. How many troops will they have to attack Jinzhou City?
There are 45,000 Jinzhou City garrison and imperial troops. If the common people entering the city and the reserve forces are organized again, at least 30,000 more first-class sergeants can be added. How could they possibly chew it if they didn't have 200,000 people to chew it?
After all, the most important thing to attack the Western Liaoning Corridor line of defense is to capture Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City. If these two cities are not captured, their entire strategy will fail.
Therefore, in order to save manpower, I feel that they will probably not attack Zuowei City as eagerly as before, so that we will have sufficient time and ability to deal with their attack! "
"good!"
Liao Shicong patted the pile of stones in front of him and showed admiration, "Go down and prepare! Remember, they will not try their best to attack Zuowei City. All you have to do is keep an eye on the road and do not allow them go through!"
"Follow your orders!"
Wu Kuan turned around and left.
Liao Shicong grabbed him again and patted his shoulder hard, "Promise me that you will come back alive! Bring as many brothers as possible and come back alive!"
Wu Kuan clenched his fists and said sternly: "The Shiwei people kill my colleagues and my fellow countrymen and elders. They are sworn in with me life and death. The first duty of this humble position is to consume as many of their troops as possible As for staying alive. , let God decide!¡±
Liao Shicong saw that he had such an idea and did not mention it again.
When Wu Kuan left, he turned to the somewhat taciturn Zhang Tie.
"Yongli!"
Liao Shicong said leisurely: "Now I will completely entrust the defense of Jinzhou City to you The hope of the entire Dakang is also on you. Isn't it a lot of pressure?"
"For the sake of hundreds of thousands of people, I will dedicate myself to my humble position and die!"
Zhang Tie didn¡¯t talk nonsense and bowed seriously.
For him, the moment he was ordered to come to Jinzhou City, he decided to bury himself in Jinzhou City.
As a general who has high hopes from the emperor and personally orders generals, Zhang Tie has such a firm determination! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; "Yongli!"
