The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 74: City Breaking
The first batch of cannon fodder was put down, and slowly the second batch was filled up, the third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch, the reserve team. Waves of cannon fodder slowly climbed on the wall of death.
Most of the day has passed, and there are still two hours before the sky will be completely dark.
And the soldiers who had been returned before were also gathered, the 30,000 strong cannon fodder originally captured from Zitong County. After two rounds of exhaustion of filling the moat and siege, only half of his 30,000 people were left, and the 8,000 cannon fodder of the Five Poison Army only left him with 5,000 people.
gathered together and compiled these two batches of cannon fodder, and found that there were still 20,000 people. More, he doesn't need so many troops, he only needs 8,000 men.
Then we will organize them into a team of five thousand people, forming four batches of cannon fodder, and before the sky is completely dark, let's attack him again!
Under the dissatisfaction of many frustrated hearts, they were once again gathered by the supervised team, put on leather armor, took up weapons, and carried the ladder to charge again.
The sound of fighting once again sounded on the battlefield. CD's three-foot-high city wall has completely become a meat grinder, and the two sides have been fighting endlessly.
Finally, the cannon fodder on this side was seriously injured. Can the defenders feel better on that side? Three thousand people were shot to death by Zhong Yu's crossbow array at the beginning, and the veteran was maimed.
can only mobilize young men and the servants of the major families from the city, drag them to the wall, and assist in the defense. CD County has a large population. In the Western Han Dynasty, the CD population reached 76,000 households, nearly 400,000.
Even after natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, the population has declined slightly. However, Yizhou is not much affected, with a population of more than 300,000. Even in the entire world, it is still a well-known Xiongcheng.
So with the assistance of the government and aristocratic families, he pulled out his 30,000 young men to assist in the defense. After a tragic attack and defense in the morning, Zhong Yu killed more than 10,000 people. Although the defenders leaned on the city wall and had a geographical advantage, Zhong Yu also had a weapon advantage.
So in general, there is not much difference in the number of casualties. The defenders also died, almost 10,000 people, which basically cannot last long.
1/3 of his people died when he first entered the battlefield. For a group of farmers and small businessmen who had just gotten their weapons, it was hard to imagine.
Their hearts can no longer bear any serious casualties. Zhong Yu estimated that if he died five thousand more, they would completely collapse. No matter how threatened by those officials and aristocratic families, they won't listen anymore.
If you forcefully persecute, you might be fainted and full of fearful soldiers, who will directly turn to each other and kill each other.
The control of those aristocratic families over those young and strong cannon fodder is not as good as Zhong Yu's. They were able to suppress these young men, relying on the majesty of the court and the prestige of the family in the past.
These are some soft power, imaginary. In the past, when the court and aristocratic families were strong, relying on some slogans, they were able to gather these strong and obedient.
But now these shapes understand their weakness, and their own strength is not strong enough to resist. After resistance, they just lost their lives in vain, so abandon those who usually fish and them, and live by themselves. , It couldn't be more normal.
But Zhong Yu is different. It can force the cannon fodder to obey his orders and consume his own lives in vain under the wall. Relying on that number, he has 14,000 Hanzhong veterans and system soldiers.
With the suppression of these elite soldiers who are loyal enough to them, those cannon fodder dare not resist their orders and can only obey them obediently.
They understand that even if they all rebel, they are not opponents of their own army. Their family members are in their own hands. They are really rebelling. Besides letting themselves and their family members die, is there any other choice?
Soon, more than an hour passed, and the 15,000 soldiers left it with 8,000. Those strong and deadly wounded above the city wall are also going to meet the collapse, as long as they have another wave of fierce attacks, they will be collapsed at the touch of a touch, and they will completely lose the will to resist.
It's time, and I should put a perfect end to this CD City offensive and defensive battle.
At this time, the sky gradually dimmed, and the sun hung on the side of a mountain, as if it could sink completely at any time, bringing a piece of darkness to the earth.
"Boom boom!" The sound of the war drum sounded. At this time, there were no cannon fodder soldiers on the battlefield. All those soldiers had been withdrawn to the barracks for a complete rest.
At this time, when the war drum rang, it was Zhong Yu who ordered the veterans of the Hanzhong army to attack the city. These people who have experienced some tragic siege wars have seen the cruelty of the battlefield, and then attacked Yizhou with themselves.
has continued to win, and has accumulated extremely high morale along the way. Marching on the road again and strengthening the training of the army, it can be said that they are a very elite soldier in this era.
At this time they will show here that they have been sharpened by themselves for several months. Use this CD city to draw a perfect ending for their first battle after being unsheathed.
Soon, soldiers in blue and red armor like a tide rushed over the plain below the city. It slapped heavily on the city wall, then you can say that the thick city wall more than ten meters thick on the CD has some slight tremors.
Because of the incomparably skilled siege experience under Wudu County before, these soldiers climbed up the city wall in a swift motion.
, those who have gone through the previous siege warfare~IndoMTL.com~Shouchengqingzhuang can't help but be stunned. There was a pause in his hands, this is a person who has gone through this life and death experience, and should not have appeared.
came to the city wall, these veterans swiftly killed the surrounding soldiers, and quickly smashed these relatively young young men away.
The holes in the city wall spread one after another, and soon the soldiers occupied a large area on the city wall.
had a foothold one by one, more and more soldiers rushed up the wall, slowly driving the young and strong soldiers off the wall.
Finally, he died more than 1,000 more people. These defenders finally couldn't help the fear in their hearts. They screamed and abandoned their weapons, turned and ran down the city wall.
When the supervising team saw this situation, they hurriedly went to stop him, and after killing dozens of him, they finally aroused those strong anger.
instead, turned around to fight with the supervising teams, retreating all those supervising teams, and facing these irrational people, I don’t think many people dare to face them directly!
then, there was a thumping sound in the back. Turning around and looking back, I found that the soldiers in the blue and red armor were chasing them with a weird cry, and those who quickly abandoned them all turned and ran away.
After seeing these supervising teams, they didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly fled with the broken soldiers. At this point, the entire CD City fell into Zhong Yu's hands.
In 183 AD, in July of the sixth year of Guanghe, Zhong Yu occupied Hanzhong, the eastern part of the county, divided into Fangling County, Xicheng County.
In August, occupy the entire Hanzhong County.
October, captured Wudu County.
In November, I attacked Yizhou, occupied Zitong County, Guanghan County, broke the CD City, Yizhou shook, and the world shook.
