Otherworldly Castle Era
Vol 3 Chapter 53: Siege
The dust from the collapsed city wall spread quickly, and Xia Guo's army outside the city also saw that the collapsed city wall was more than 100 meters long.
The gap is on the right side of the city gate. The city wall of this world does not have a gate tower. The city gate is just a hole in the city wall.
There is a gap in the city wall, and it is much easier to expand the range of the gap. As long as you continue to attack the city wall on the left and right of the gap, it will be very easy to trample.
This is the so-called **** of a thousand miles destroyed in an ant's nest! What's more, this is not just a small ant nest, but a gap of more than 100 meters.
The siege artillery did not stop after blasting down this section of the city wall, and continued to bombard the uncollapsed walls on both sides, widening the gap.
"Don't stop the siege artillery, continue to attack!" Di Qing did not order the siege but let the siege artillery continue to attack after seeing that the enemy's city wall had been blasted down one after another.
Since Di Qing knew that the enemy had a fortress, he would definitely prevent it in advance. How could Xia Guo, a fortress as big as the north, not know?
Especially after knowing from the intelligence personnel that the soldiers stationed in the fortress are all the elite of the enemy, it is even more impossible to relax their vigilance in this regard. The enemy's reinforcements are also supposed to be discovered by Xia Guo's scouts.
Di Qing and Lu Su saw that they could not break the enemy city in one or two days, so they discussed and decided to implement a siege of the city!
This tactic was the first suggestion made by the staff of Lu Su. After Di Qing nodded and agreed, Zhang Wei would implement it in detail.
Specifically, it changed from attacking the enemy’s southern city to attacking the enemy’s west city, which is convenient for changing the direction of attack at any time.
Then the cavalry lined up outside the north city, acting as if they were blocking the enemy's reinforcements, letting the enemies in the city know that Xia Guo already knew that they had reinforcements.
Then let the main soldiers outside the West City lurch to the north at night and lie in ambush on both sides of the road.
In order to let the enemy know that the army outside Xicheng was the main force of Xia, the militiamen lined up outside the city, while also protecting the 36 siege artillery.
As for the field artillery, after attacking the enemy’s city head for a day, the enemy never dared to go up to the city head smoothly. Even the city wall and gunpowder were buried, so these artillery were also transferred to the northern road. Set ambush.
The last thing left is to wait for the enemy's elite reinforcements to come to the door!
This tactic was proposed by Lu Su. According to Lu Su's words, "Let the cavalry be under the enemy's eyelids and act to block the enemy's reinforcements in order to relax the enemy's reinforcements."
Reinforcement troops would not be too vigilant, thinking that Xia Guo was only using cavalry to stop them, and other soldiers were still outside the city, so he would not have thought that there would be a wave of ambushes on the way.
After all, it is the enemy's elite who came to help. The necessary preparations are still needed. The lion fights the rabbit with all their strength. Di Qing and the others don't want to lose their achievements due to pride and complacency in the last step.
So just in case, the gunpowder buried at the root of the wall became the last force to attack the enemy city.
Although it is a little troublesome, with many preparations, no matter what happens to the enemy, Di Qing and the others have a way to deal with it. They are full of confidence in occupying this city!
Sure enough, the ambush was completed that night, and after dawn, the enemy's reinforcements arrived as scheduled!
"Initiate General Zhang, General Di has an order: Operation Dawn begins!" The "Operation Dawn" mentioned in the order from the messenger to Zhang Wei is the name Di Qing gave to this plan!
This action is not just a siege to fight aid, but also a series of actions that follow.
After receiving instructions to start the action, Zhang Wei immediately ordered: "All cavalry, start moving!"
The cavalry lined up outside the North City is also an arrow array for offensive purposes. The position is not true north, but in the west outside the enemy North City. So Zhang Wei pointed the arrow of this arrow array to the east.
In this way, whether it is the enemy rushing out of the city or the enemy's reinforcements, he can easily deal with it!
The heavy cavalry continued to lead the head and turned around. All the cavalry ran out of an arc outside the city, turning their backs to Shangdao City, and launched a charge towards the enemy troops aided by Northern Shangdao!
The enemy's knights who came to help the army led 10,000 elite infantrymen. After turning a corner, you could see the walls of Shangdao City.
But when he turned the corner, he saw a cavalry charging toward them!
"Retreat to the curve and form a defense!" The knight immediately let the army retreat and form a defense after the curve.
From this knight's order, it can be seen that he is a defensive commander.
retreat back to the curve, after the formation of defense, not only allows the soldiers not to intuitively experience the shock of the cavalry charge, but also can use this curve to reduce the impact speed of the enemy cavalry. This command can kill two birds with one stone!
However, this knight did not expect that although he was smart, he didn't know that all his actions were clearly calculated by Xia Guo's commander and staff.
Because the commander in charge of fortress defense must be a defensive person, after seeing the cavalry charge, he will definitely use this corner to defend.
In this way, the support army completely fell into the palms of Di Qing and the others, unable to turn over!
"Start attacking!" A loud shout sounded from the enemy's head.
Immediately after that, a large number of enemies appeared on both sides of the road, and attacked their completely undefended heads and backs!
Pieces of arrows covered the hills on both sides of the road, and the roar of artillery followed.
"Ah~!"
"There is an ambush!"
"The enemy is up!"...
The enemy army was ambushed by Xia's army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ immediately became confused, but then...
"Why panic! Array defense, there are not many enemies!" After the enemy knight pulled away a bow and arrow, he shouted.
This army is not worthy of being an elite. After a period of confusion, it quickly regrouped and formed several circular defensive formations.
In addition to artillery attacks, the enemy forces that make up the circular formation can no longer cause much damage to them with good weapons and equipment.
Di Qing stood on the top of the mountain, looking at these tortoise-like enemy formations, and frowned again.
Although I received information that this is an elite group, I didn't expect it to be so elite. Although it was a large number of people in the past, the enemy army was completely mob.
Whether it is weapons and equipment or the will to fight, this 10,000 enemy army can be said to be the most elite army Xia Guo has encountered.
But immediately after Di Qing's eyes cold, he ordered: "The artillery moves forward! The whole army presses on!"
He doesn't believe that no matter how elite the army is, can it be better than Xia Guo's army?
Although the current setting ambush hasn't left the enemy in confusion for long, it is better to intersect short-term soldiers than to send these elite enemy troops into the city.
