Chapter 650 Siege without suspense
The new army, the three armies of the South Chang'an Daying and the East Shuiying were displayed under the county town of Lang County and would attack the city at any time. At this time, Su Zhe, the leader of the Three Pure Land, appeared on the head of the North City. In order to prevent the wrong person, Liu Yu carefully identified it. It was indeed Su Zhe, and it seemed that the leader of the Three Pure Land, was doing well.
Although he is no longer the prince or the King of Chu, he is the supreme leader of the Three Pure Sects. He has a large group of fans and worships the Three Pure Sects.
He was wearing a green and yellow robe and a wide square hat on his head. His appearance looked a bit fancy, but it seemed to be the emperor's outfit on the stage, or a Taoist priest, but his clothes were much brighter than the Taoist robe.
Originally, the Three Pure Ones was a mixed religion that combines Western religions and combined with Middle-earth Buddhism, Taoism, etc. As the leader of the Three Pure Ones, wearing such an incongruent outfit, it had a great visual impact on the church members, making it easy for people to associate him to the gods. Liu Yu understood that this time Su Zhe took the risk of his appearance, nominally, was with the church members, and was advancing and retreating in a synchronized manner, but in fact he was to supervise the war and inspire the morale of the church members to fight against the court army.
As soon as Su Zhe showed up, the three puritans on the city wall were indeed as if they were injected with chicken blood. They all prepared to fight against the court army. Even though they knew that they would die if they stayed, the leaders of the Holy Sect were there, and they suddenly felt that their lives were insignificant. Liu Yu found that the defenders in the city were dispersed from normalcy, and from the disarray of formations to the uniform preparations for the war, he couldn't help but look at Su Zhegao in his heart. The fallen phoenix was not as good as a chicken. Su Zhe was a chicken head and used some tricks to let the chickens fight the weasels.
"Overbial ability!"
Liu Yu shouted coldly, the key point now is to quickly break through the small county town of Lang County, capture Su Zhe alive, and then solve the problem with one knife. Then he will rest assured in his future life.
"Born from suffering and die from happiness, should we kill him, or torture him slowly?" Liu Yu himself became confused first.
At this time, the preparations of the three armies have been completed. After the preparations, the soldiers from the three armies have been arranged to form a central army, front army and left and right armies, and cold weapons fighting. Especially for regular sieges or field encounters, they basically follow the strategy of first array and then dispatching troops. Once there are loopholes in the formation, it is a trivial matter to kill and injure a few people, which is afraid that it will cause a chain reaction and lead to a weakening of the morale of the army and unable to fight again. After all, on the battlefield of cold weapons, we can contact the enemy and us who are slashing each other and killing each other is only a small number of people in the front line. Once there is any problem with the front line, even a small disadvantage will affect the confidence of most soldiers behind.
In this siege, the imperial army actually did not have as many soldiers as the city's siege. The total number of soldiers was only more than 10,000, and the city's siege had 30,000 to 40,000. Although the number of soldiers in the city had to be superior, they were only ordinary people, both men, women, young and old, and many people brought their families with their families. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were incomparable with the regular army of the court. What's more, among the people brought by Liu Yu, there are also elite troops from the new army such as Huo Bing's troops.
In terms of the height and thickness of the city wall, Jiankang City, Huaidi Capital, is dozens of times stronger than Langxian County, and there is not even a city tower. Liu Yu couldn't think of any reason to prevent him from leading his troops to break through the city. Unless Su Zhe really had some magic, those so-called "miracles" played very little role in such real swords and guns on the battlefield, unless it was an extreme improvement in weapons and tactics.
Improvements cannot be used by ordinary people.
At the siege of the imperial court was completed. At the time of the siege, Liu Yu gave the order, and the battle flags at all levels began to dance. The imperial army launched the siege from the east, west and north directions of Lang County at the same time. Because Lang County was a small county town under the feet of the emperor, Liu Yu seemed very "kind" in the siege and did not use the earth cannons used to attack the city before. However, even if there were no weapons of mass destruction, he was still as powerful as a vanguard.
The war drums resounded around Langxian County. The sounds of beating were heard. Even the Three Puritans who were inspired to die just now felt frightened. After all, the battlefield was not a joke. Even if it was protected by the leader, it would at most be reincarnated as a good person in the next life, or to enter the "nation" promoted in the holy religion to take refuge. But it was an illusory thing. Whether there was anything? At such a life-and-death moment, they could not help but doubt.
Even the most devout believers will fear death. This is a commonality between human beings and cannot be effective with a little mental paralysis. Especially when they see the death of their companions.
Infantry siege, there is no cavalry at the moment. Under the escort of the shield, the army pressed under the city wall and shot sporadic arrows from the city wall. Due to the lack of weapons from the people, they did not have any regular weapons to defend the city. The moves of throwing stones and debris, or even the people in the city, did not play any role in such a massive siege battle. On the other hand, the imperial army had both long-range attack muskets and inexhaustible arrows, and it was difficult not to gain an advantage.
Because the vanguard army that sieges were mainly new troops, there were a large number of muskets behind the shield. Liu Yu also tried his best to let the soldiers use muskets to intimidate ordinary civilians in the city. When they shot arrows, they instead sent weapons to the rumor-in-law people, so that they could have arrows to resist. The bullets were not visible, and the civilians who were guarding the city could not use them.
Liu Yu kept watching the place where Su Zhe appeared in the city wall. Since his appearance, the court attacked the city, he avoided the back and did not appear again. Liu Yu knew that Su Zhe would not stay on the city wall and wait for a live target. Before the war began, Liu Yu asked Huo Bing to transfer a few good gunshots and rode his horse unexpectedly and said that the plan to shoot Su Zhe did not work. After the war started, Liu Yu became increasingly sure of Su Zhe's purpose. If it was to supervise the war, he should stay on the front line instead of running for his life quickly.
Liu Yu even felt that demonstrating to him was the real purpose of Su Zhe's appearance.
"Don't let him run away." Liu Yu was not on the front line of the battlefield, but instead sat in the central army. He couldn't help but sigh, if Su Zhe escaped for such a good opportunity, it would take some more weeks to catch Su Zhe later.
The imperial army's siege was very smooth. After being baptized by bullets and arrows by the imperial army, no one dared to show his head on the city wall. It was a small county town with no moat and no city tower. The subsequent baggage soldiers carried the wood up and knocked the city gate open in just a few strokes. Then the cavalry and infantry entered the county town. The rest was very simple, almost a massacre.
