Chapter 557: Siege

Wang Fangyi felt the terrible situation in Weizhou City.¢£,

But for a moment, there was no way out.

In fact, although he retreated to the city in the past half day, he still felt scared. In the battle in the daytime, he lost too thoroughly, but it was not unfair to lose at all.

Tens of thousands of people attacked the enemy formation. If it were the past, even if they encountered an elite army and horse, with the power of the Shenwei Iron Cavalry and the sufficient cover of the two wings, the people who were killed would not have been overturned before they were approached, and they would have been defeated directly three hundred steps away from the enemy formation and were defeated like a mountain.

This is something unprecedented. Wang Fangyi's most fearful thing was not so. Instead, he discovered that the tactics of the Shen Ce Army and the methods they used were completely new, which was completely beyond the previous combat experience. It was like a group of brave Indian soldiers. These Indians had been fighting for many years and had a very rich experience in the battle. However, when they met those colonists from Europa, they used intensive attacks with muskets and immediately caught them blindly. All tactics and experiences became burdens at this time.

In Wang Fangyi's previous understanding, the two armies wanted to achieve the greatest attack effect when they faced each other, especially for the cavalry, they naturally charged in a intensive manner, because the more dense the teams were, it was like clenching their hands into fists and a hard blow was often invincible.

This is also his most proud experience, but this experience was a waste of time for the Shen Ce Army. With such a intensive charge, facing the rain of arrows like a rain of heavy rain, it was simply a death sentence.

Wang Fangyi took advantage of the waiting time and couldn't help but think. In this way, it seemed that he could only disperse his troops against the Shen Ce Army. Perhaps he could deal with his crossbowman, and at least reduce huge casualties. But... the problem arose again. Once it disperses, it is difficult for the soldiers to restrain him. Once the opponent's cavalry rushed, it seemed...

Wang Fangyi discovered that although the tactics of the Shen Ce Army were simple, they were invincible with the arrow rain, and there was even no way to restrain them.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, just guarding the city, how should he guard this city?

Obviously this is another difficult problem. If this 100,000 army is not the frightening bird now, if you cheer up your morale, you can barely defend it.

But now, the reality he faced was that the morale of the defenders fell to the bottom and was in a panic. I guess at this time, when he heard the three words "Shence Army", he was already scared. The divisions had been disobedient to each other before this, so if this continues...

I sighed in my heart and urged several times. Finally, I called 70% to 80% of the leaders of each tribe.

Looking at these people from all over the world, including the main army and the guest army, just the expressions of everyone. They were extremely nervous, some were lazy, and some even disdainful of Wang Fangyi.

Wang Fangyi had to be stunned because he knew in his heart that Wei Hongmin was an extremely smart person. He saw the key to the problem. This was a crime of non-war. Although it was a defeat in the daytime, it was not a mistake on Wang Fangyi. However, Wei Hongmin could think so, and others might not think so. So many people died outside today, and they were defeated. You, Wang Fangyi, who led the troops. What's more, everyone already had their own lords, and they were just temporarily obeying your control. Why do you just listen to your orders? Do you have to be ordered to die like the Zhaoyi Army? Now the corpses of the Zhaoyi Army are still outside the city.

Wang Fangyi knew that this emotion could not be resolved for a moment, so he didn't say much. He just assigned defense briefly and did not rush to propose specific measures. Now that the various units are forced to piece together, it is important to have a defensive look. The others have to go slowly.

After arranging all this, Wang Fangyi was sleepy and tired, so he simply went to bed temporarily here.

But when it was dawn, the rumbling sound suddenly woke Wang Fangyi up. He had a nightmare last night, and the rumbling sound like thunder scared him so much that he was so angry that he was covered in cold sweat and his back collar was soaked.

"What's going on?" He raised his shoes.

"Governor... Governor, Shen Ce Army, set off firecrackers at the South Gate..."

Wang Fangyi was still in shock. Although he had known for a long time that the Shen Ce Army's siege was to set off artillery, the rumbling sound of the cannon still made him feel worried. After he put on his clothes, he had no time to wash up: "Go to the south gate."

When he arrived at the south gate with a team of personal soldiers, he found that this place was attacked by countless fire rains. The defenders here had long been frightened and looked like earth. They hid behind the city walls and did not dare to show their heads. However, the fire rain, the fire rain hit the city Huan, and exploded countless gravels. The gravels were splashed everywhere. Many people were covered in blood. Even unfortunate people were directly hit by the iron ball flying from the cannon, which was a terrible sight.

Many defenders began to retreat and wanted to withdraw from the range of the artillery, but Wang Fangyi was anxious and quickly yelled in the rain of bullets: "Where is General Liu, where is?"

General Liu is the military officer here. After finally finding him, Wang Fangyi grabbed the inner collar exposed above his mail and said, "Take people to stand here immediately, irretreat, irretreat, once you retreat, if the thief army takes advantage of the situation..."

General Liu was panicked, but he was furious at this time and could not help but say coldly: "Don't retreat? Are you going to die here if you don't retreat? I've sent you to die once yesterday, and I'll have to do it again this time? Brothers, you can only be beaten passively and cannot fight back at all. Staying here will mean no place to die... Humph!"

"You!" Wang Fangyi was furious and said, "Come on, take this person down."

Several personal soldiers rushed forward, but the general named Liu was a little anxious. Wang Fangyi did not hesitate. Knowing that at this time, if he did not give any warning, it would not be possible. So he drew his sword and cut it off with one sword. Then he looked at the many defenders in shock. He smiled fiercely and said, "I have an order to defend the south gate. If anyone dares to take a step back, this person is an example. If you stick here, I will dispatch troops to suppress the formation. Otherwise, once we are trapped in the city, we will die like the dead souls of yesterday, and we will die without a place to bury ourselves. After all, who would want to retreat?"

The defenders were finally frightened and returned to the bombardment rain with fear.

Wang Fangyi was worried. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for even four days. He hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Go, immediately transfer the troops from the back alley, strengthen the garrison at the south gate, and do not slacken."

He didn't dare to leave here, for fear that as soon as he left, the defenders would scatter. It was finally difficult for reinforcements to arrive. These were the remnants of the Shenwei Army headquarters. Although they were scared, Wang Fangyi could at least mobilize them.

At this time, Wang Fangyi was relieved and was about to find a way to continue to strengthen the garrison at the South Gate, but unexpectedly, a red-burned iron ball hit him in the direction, whistling past him, and with a bang, he smashed a personal soldier on his side, leaving only half of the burnt corpses left.

Wang Fangyi took a deep breath, finally gritted his teeth and walked away quickly. The personal soldiers brought by him all showed fear and hurriedly followed him.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

From early in the morning, the artillery of the Shence Army set up positions under the south gate. For these gunners, their responsibilities were not easy in normal times. After all, they always carried these artillery, gunpowder and artillery shells. Although there were auxiliary soldiers and chariots and horses, they were still extremely difficult. Often, when marching, they always fell to the end and had to draw troops to protect them.

When they arrived at the camp, the orders of the Shence Army required all battalions to remain in war. This means that whenever they went, they had to set up artillery and dismantle them when they set off. This repeated many people were out of breath, but once it was time for war, they became much more relaxed, and they just needed to load shells and ignite the fuse.

However, although the other crossbowmen and cavalry did not attack, they had already gathered together. They just waited for any gap in the city to prepare for the attack.

Qin Shaoyou also arrived here early in the morning. In this era, artillery is a powerful weapon for siege, but for Qin Shaoyou, there are still many dissatisfactions, because once you encounter a strong city, artillery will not have much effect in many cases.

Naturally, the artillery is not to deal with the enemies on the top of the city, but to attack various city walls under the command of the artillery battalion to find the weaker city wall sections of the opponent.

The situation of the city walls in this era is different. Some of the wall sections can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, some are newly built, some have been repaired in the past two years, but some are also wary of the goal that is the easiest to break through because of disrepair.

After repeated bombardment, the General of the Central Army finally calculated the position, and then someone was on the heavy artillery.

The huge heavy artillery pushed forward with the shouts of dozens of people. The special cannon specially used to attack the city wall began to load. Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be shocked by the cannon that weighed thousands of pounds. He watched with great enthusiasm as several auxiliary cannons began to load gunpowder. When he was waiting for everything to be ready, someone specifically reminded him, "Your Highness, you should cover your ears, the sound of this cannon is more than usual."
