After a short rest, the attack in the afternoon is about to begin again. Check out the entertainment pictures

The soldiers all seized the rare free time, either lying on the ground and looking at the sky, or lying on their sides with their eyes closed to relax. There were also a few fellow villagers, leaning together, talking about things at home, and talking about their beloved wives and children.

Wiping tears.

Guan Ping actually knew that the wives and children they talked about had probably been destroyed in the war. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars have been burning everywhere in the world, and families have been broken up and people have died. This is why many refugees are forced to make a living and join the army to join the army.

Eat food.

In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer. This is an eternal truth...[

"Brothers, get up." Guan Ping took a deep breath and called the soldiers up.

While the trapped soldiers were hurriedly lining up, Zhang Liao commanded the rest of the troops and had already approached the tower.

A new round of offensive began, and new ladders were put into use, but the situation was still the same as in the morning.

It has to be said that although Hou Cheng is greedy for life and afraid of death and is not very skilled in martial arts, he still has a way of defending the city.

The commander also took his time and used the crossbow at a certain distance. When the enemy soldiers climbed to a certain position, he began to smash down the wood and cannon stones. He also had considerable experience in using spear formations to defend the tower. In general,

He is a very good city defense general.

However, his greatest weakness lies in his heart; for the sake of profit, he can betray anyone; and how to control him to maximize his effect depends on the level of the leader.

When the fighting between the offensive and defensive sides deepened, Guan Ping led his troops and began to pile up mountains of earth according to the method in the morning.

With experience, he naturally became more proficient and the speed increased; the Xiapi city wall was about five meters high, so Guanping planned to build the earth mountain above five meters in order to achieve the overlooking effect.

When the mountains of earth are piled up, the farther to the back, the more earth blocks are needed and the amount of work becomes larger. When the soldiers carry the burdens to move the earth blocks up the base, because the height increases, it is difficult for the shields to cover them, and the casualties are greater.

.

In just a quarter of an hour, seven or eight people who were responsible for reinforcing the earth mountain had fallen, almost twice as many as in the morning. If this continued, Guanping would have lost at least hundreds of people by the time the earth mountain was piled up.

Being trapped in the camp is Guan Ping's lifeblood, and he will not allow this to happen under any circumstances.

"Stop! Put down the tools in your hands, and retreat under the cover of shields!" Guan Ping made a prompt decision and shouted.

After retreating to the camp, Guan Ping was still thinking hard about the solution, but Gundam and others came forward.

"Sir Captain, this pile of earth is an order from General Zhang. He retreated before it was completed. This..."

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to build mountains of earth without killing people." Guan Ping frowned and thought.

"Lord Captain, these are considered very few casualties. Some troops have suffered nearly a hundred casualties."

Guan Ping remained silent, extremely depressed.

But at this moment, Han Fei, who had been silent all this time, interrupted. "Sir, why don't we go out and pile up again at night."

Most ancient soldiers were malnourished and suffered from night blindness, and it was inconvenient to march at night. Therefore, unless it was an emergency or a sneak attack, there was generally no fighting at night, especially in siege warfare.[

Before Guan Ping spoke, Gundam denied: "This is definitely not possible. Firstly, the soldiers can't see clearly; secondly, there will definitely be some noise. Then the enemy will be afraid of our sneak attack in the dark, so they will shoot arrows randomly, causing more casualties to us."

Everyone."
