Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth: fierce siege battle
Guo Jia led the army to camp ten miles away from Chang'an City.
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Guo Jia led the army, carrying a large number of siege equipment, and began to attack Chang'an City.
Seeing that Dahua's army was so fierce, it really scared Han Lei, the guardian of Chang'an City.
I made a big trough, is the Dahua army so powerful?
In fact, he attacked Chang'an City?
Want to conquer Chang'an City? What a painful price they have to pay?
Why are they determined to win Chang'an City?
Han Lei didn't even think clearly about why the Dahua army attacked Chang'an City like crazy.
Soon, Dahua's siege equipment entered the battlefield one after another.
First, he used a long-range stone throwing cart to continuously shoot the city wall, followed by a three-bow crossbow to shoot.
The range of Dahua's long-range stone throwing car almost scared Han Lei and the defenders on the city wall.
Oh my god! The range has reached nearly a thousand steps, which is really exaggerating!
Well, well, in fact, this kind of remote stone throwing car has been used many times in Dahua.
Han Lei has little understanding of Dahua's siege equipment.
But understanding is one thing, and seeing it in reality is another.
The shock you saw with your own eyes is irreplaceable by boring numbers written on paper.
Under the shooting of the rock-throwing cart, the defenders on the city walls had no advantage in the original terrain.
Under the blow of the rock-throwing cart, they suffered heavy casualties.
But the Dahua army under the city was sieging the city, and they could not leave the city wall, so they could only stand firm.
There are also three-bow bed crossbows that are also extremely terrifying.
Although the accuracy is a little worse.
But the victory is due to its great power. As long as it is hit by the crossbow arrow of the three-bow bed crossbow, it will almost certainly die.
The power of the three-bow crossbow is not only that. The crossbow arrows of the three-bow crossbow will penetrate deeply into the city wall.
Not only will it have a certain destructive effect on the walls of the city wall, but what is more serious is that these crossbows and arrows simply form ladders hanging on the city walls.
Dahua soldiers can easily climb up the city wall by stepping on crossbow arrows.
This thing is much better than a cloud ladder. Using a cloud ladder requires guarding soldiers on the city wall to lift the cloud ladder down. I'm afraid you will have to work hard to remove this thing.
And it also takes time to clear it after the siege battle is over.
During the siege, there was no time and no chance to clean these "ladders"!
This is not over yet. A combined steel ladder is quickly building over Dahua.
These ladders are all made of iron racks, and they can be easily built with wheels underneath, which can be pushed and carried directly.
Then, under the defense of the shield soldiers, a team of soldiers quickly piled up the steel ladder under the city wall. The two iron arms on it were stuck on the city wall at once and could not even pull it down.
Next, Dahua soldiers could quickly climb to the top through the ladder, stand at a higher position than their city wall, and attack from a condescending place.
And there are wire mesh in the middle of these ladders, and they cannot attack with bows and arrows.
Of course, there is no way to deal with these ladders.
For example, using boiling oil and boiling water are all good.
But boiling oil and boiling water also take time.
In short, before the Dahua army's siege equipment was revealed, Han Lei was sure that he could definitely defend for one month, or even two or three months without any problem.
And for such a long time, the Prime Minister had already sent reinforcements.
Therefore, he could almost ensure that Chang'an City would be foolproof and would never be thrown away in his hands.
But now, when he saw the Dahua army's siege equipment, he was almost scared to pee.
The siege equipment of Dahua Kingdom is really too advanced and sharp.
If you really want to attack the city like this, I'm afraid there will be no way to defend in Chang'an City for a month.
Because the defenders in Chang'an City only have 30,000 troops.
You should know that Cao Cao had only 500,000 troops and horses, and it was already very many to be able to place 30,000 troops in Chang'an City.
But now it seems that it is far from enough!
Now the number of people on Dahua Ming has reached 50,000.
Of course, Han Lei would not naively think that Dahua sent so many troops to come.
There must be a steady stream of follow-up personnel coming from Dahua.
In this way, Chang'an City is really dangerous.
Even if you defend with all your strength, you may be able to defend for up to ten days and half a month!
I hope that the Prime Minister can send reinforcements to come within these ten days and half months.
Otherwise, I am afraid that Chang'an City will be thrown away in my hands.
Next, Dahua Army launched a tentative attack.
Although it is a tentative attack, the attack is also very sharp.
Because they have siege weapons such as cloud ladders, the attack effect is quite good.
However, after all, Chang'an City is the one who guards the city, and the materials for defending the city are now very sufficient.
Therefore, in terms of casualties, the Dahua army suffered some losses.
The casualties between the two sides are about four to three.
In other words, four soldiers were sacrificed on Dahua, and only three of the defenders of Chang'an City were sacrificed.
From the numbers, Dahua really suffers.
But you have to know that they are guarding the city.
It is hard to imagine that the casualties of the defending city are almost the same as those of the siege city.
If it were in the past, Han Lei would not have believed that there would be such a casualty rate.
Especially when he acted as the city defender.
If we really want to continue to kill like this, if the Dahua army launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties, they would probably not be able to support it even if they had to go for ten days and half a month!
At this time, Han Lei's face became extremely ugly.
Fortunately, Guo Jia, the commander of the Dahua Army, seemed not satisfied with this battle loss rate.
Therefore, not long after the siege, the siege stopped the siege.
Han Lei was extremely angry about Guo Jia’s choice!
Damn, you are the siege!
You and us have suffered four to three losses. Are you not satisfied?
However, thanks to Guo Jia's dissatisfaction, otherwise, if Dahua continues to attack like this, they will really not be able to bear it!
And the Great China side, although the gold medal was resigned.
However, their steel ladder was stuck on the city wall because of the iron arms.
Not only can they not even bend the guards of Chang'an City, but they also find it difficult for them to pull them away.
Therefore, I could only give up outside the city wall helplessly.
The guardian of Chang'an City took advantage of this opportunity to prepare to clear out these ladders as soon as possible.
It would be best if Chang'an City could be taken back. Even if it was not good, they would destroy these steel ladders immediately.
So, under Han Lei's order, the soldiers guarding the city surrounded him and prepared to quickly deal with these steel ladders.
