Ren Jun's offensive was extremely fierce, one wave after another without stopping.
The soldiers under his command are well-trained and the team is neat.
The first troops raised their sabers and ladders and charged forward as quickly as possible. The shield soldiers protected the archers. Their team was a row of shield soldiers, a row of archers, then another row of shield soldiers, and then another row of shield soldiers. Array of archers, such a formation.
The shield soldiers held their shields high to block the heads of themselves and the archers behind them, while the archers bowed slightly, stretched their bows and nocked arrows through the gaps between the shields, and fired arrows toward the top of the city to suppress the defenders' archers.
Ren Jun didn't have time to build an archery tower. Such an array was considered the most reasonable and could reduce casualties to the minimum.
He put in one corps at a time on each city wall. When the number was reduced to 70%, he would have that corps withdraw and replace it with another corps.
Ren Jun is well aware of the importance of veterans. If all the veterans of a corps die, the organization will be gone. On the contrary, if 70% of the veterans are left, new recruits will be recruited and added to these corps, even if they are new recruits. They can't exert much combat effectiveness. Even if they are led by 70% of the veterans, they won't be in disarray. When it's time to charge, the veterans will lead them to charge. When it's time to retreat, the veterans will lead them to retreat. The entire corps can Restore combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
Wang Hao looked at the orderly troops below and couldn't help but become cautious.
He has fought so many defensive battles, and the siege army on Ren Jun's side is considered to be the best and strongest in combat effectiveness, as well as the best in terms of military formations and tactics.
The sharpest spear meets the hardest shield. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker can only be known after the fight.
"The arrows of the bow are ineffective against the enemy's shield soldiers. Archers should stop firing arrows at the enemy's archers. Attack the enemy's advance troops with all their strength. All crossbows should be aimed at the enemy's archers. Blow them to pieces. shield!"
"As you command!"
The messenger immediately shouted the order.
With the adjustment of tactics, the archers and crossbowmen aimed at the siege army below, while the army-breaking crossbows all adjusted their angles and fired arrows fiercely at the archers and shield soldiers below.
The rows of crossbow arrows were fired fiercely at the enemy's shield soldiers. The spear-like arrows directly penetrated the iron-wrapped wooden shield, piercing the shield soldiers and archers behind.
Seeing that his own shield was as fragile as paper in the hands of the enemy's heavy crossbowmen, Ren Jun couldn't help but sigh,
"The enemy's... army-breaking crossbow, isn't it? It's really a sharp weapon. Whether it's defending or attacking a city, or a field battle between two armies, it's a great weapon.
If it were not for the superior strength of the troops and the strength of the troops, it would be difficult for our army to win against Nie Chen's army. Mingwu's defeat was not unjust. "
Zhang Feng also sighed,
"Yeah, it's a pity that we don't have such a sharp weapon. If this broken military crossbow is on our side, we can hit the enemy without being able to raise their heads."
"Okay, here's the order, send three more corps to support the other three city walls, attack with all our strength, attract the opponent's reserve army, and then let's make another strong attack on our side to see if we can take down the opposite city wall."
"As you command!"
As the order was issued, tens of thousands of troops rushed toward other city walls and entered the battle.
With the arrival of the reinforcements, the three walls of the east, west, north and west were all in panic.
Wang Hao had no choice but to send reserve troops to support the three walls.
Even though he knew that he was being led by the other side, he had to do this. The side he was on was a little better. If the other three sides were lost, the city would be broken by the enemy.
After the Feng Army reserve troops were transferred to the other three city walls, Ren Jun received feedback on the enemy's fierce resistance and understood.
Then, Ren Jun directly ordered two regiments to press forward and storm the south wall.
The enemy's offensive suddenly became fierce, and the casualties of the Feng army on top of the city also increased, and the pressure increased greatly.
There were even incidents of enemy troops ascending the city wall first.
Although those people were quickly killed by the Feng army, it still indicated that the south city wall was in danger.
At this moment, soldiers ran up to Wang Haohui at the top of the city and reported to Wang Haohui,
"Reporting to Commander Wang, more than a dozen people have come down from the city, saying they want to help our army defend the city."
"Common people? Haha, it is better for us, the people of Feng Country, to help defend the city voluntarily without mobilization. This is what the people want.
In this way, you go and tell them that I appreciate their good intentions, but they have not been trained and have not fought before, so they can't help much.
If they are willing, they can help lift the injured or carry supplies, so go ahead. "
"As you command!"
The soldier immediately ran down.
Wang Hao did not take this matter to heart. At this time, the enemy's offensive outside the city was extremely fierce. He, the commander, had to take out his sword and kill the enemy personally.
Just as he was about to go up, he suddenly heard shouts from under the inner city wall.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"Come down quickly! Come down quickly! Danger!"
"Damn, that's awesome!"
Wang Hao turned around and looked around, only to see a few lock hooks thrown up on the west wall of the city gate tower and hooked on the battlements. Then, as if they knew Qinggong, several people climbed onto the seven or eight meter high city wall in a few clicks. .
Those people were not dressed like common people, but rather like people from the martial arts world. They were all wearing short shirts and tight trousers that were easy to move around, and they had knives on their waists, and they were full of energy.
"who!"
Wang Hao's guards immediately rushed forward, drew their swords and pointed them at those people.
Those people were both men and women. After they came up, the people below followed them and climbed up along the rope of the hook.
"Are you a handsome man?"
A man in green clothes came over with a woman and asked with a frown. The woman also held a long gun in her hand.
"Yes, I am Wang Hao, the commander of the Feng Army. Who are you?"
When Wang Hao answered, the guards blocked the front of him tightly to prevent these people from suddenly killing him.
"We are the people who came to help defend the city just now. We are Mo Xia!"
The young man said quickly.
"Mo Xia?"
Wang Hao frowned.
"Yes, it's Mo Xia from the Mo family. Do you know the Mo family's mechanism skills?"
Wang Hao thought for a while and said,
"Oh, I remembered, it's the Mo family who loves everything but doesn't attack, right? Aren't you from the Jianghu school? Why do you want to help defend the city?"
"Our Mohist ideology emphasizes helping the weak, resisting aggression, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and fighting injustice!
As a minister, Mingxuan usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and then killed the emperor. This was not allowed by nature. They also raised troops to attack the new emperor's royal division and provoked a war, which plunged the people into dire straits. This was an unjust war. "
