Chapter 256: Eight Methods of Siege

Zhongjing City is the political, military, economic and cultural center of the Liao Kingdom.

It is the largest of the five capitals of Liao Kingdom. It is 420 meters long from east to west and 350 meters long from north to south. The Tuotuo River passes around the city and is built to form a moat, and also provides drinking water for the city.

The outer wall of Zhongjing City is as high as 6 meters, all of which are rammed earth sheets, with a width of 15 meters on the top. A horse face is built every 90 meters on the outer wall of the city wall for defense.

There are also inner cities and imperial cities, one by one, and the entire Zhongjing can accommodate about 20,000 people.

The above is the information Qin Guan found on his mobile phone.

hehe.

Of course, there are not so many people in Zhongjing City now. They were transferred out 30,000 to Luming Mountain and were completely wiped out by Qin Guan. Yelu Hongji took away another 20,000 imperial guards, and there are only about 120,000 to 130,000 people here.

After Qin Guan occupied Yuzhou City without bloodshed, he immediately counted the supplies to prepare for the next battle.

After statistics were completed, Xiong Da came over to report,

"Young Master, now our food is very sufficient, enough for the army to eat for three months. Thousands of cattle and sheep are used as meat, but they are frozen in heavy snow and can't find any vegetables, but we got a lot of wild leek flower sauce."

"When we left Xiongzhou, we had 40,000 combat soldiers and more than 10,000 logistics troops. We were all our Xiongzhou soldiers. We lost nearly 2,000 soldiers in these battles. Later, we added some of the logistics troops, and now we still maintain 40,000 combat soldiers."

"There are all weapons, weapons, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and they are all equipped with mounts. They are so extravagant. They are all one person, two or even three. If the border troops in China are allowed to be envious of the imperial guards when they see it."

"There are also sufficient supplies, and there are more than 40,000 kilograms of explosives."

Explosives are a good thing. Now the entire Northern Army knows that explosives are an absolute weapon of attack, so the firearm battalion is strictly controlled.

Speaking of this, Xiong Da paused and said, "Young Master, those guns are used by the personal guards, and none of them are damaged, but a few machine guns have changed their barrels. However, the bullets consume too much."

Qin Guan asked, "How much is left."

"There are more than 20,000 heavy machine gun bullets, and thelight machine gun bullets are still about 250,000." Xiong Da replied.

Qin Guan was also helpless when he heard this number. To be honest, he was already using these bullets very efficiently.

It can be said that if you can, try not to use it.

Twenty thousand heavy machine gun bullets, not to mention the gold-swalking beast like Metal Storm, which is 6,000 in one minute, it is only a matter of more than ten minutes that Qin Guan is using Russian heavy machine guns, six or seven hundred in one minute, and two heavy machine guns, and 20,000 in two heavy machine guns, it only takes more than ten minutes.

As for general-purpose bullets, well, I have to support 1O general-purpose machine guns, nearly a hundred rifles.

The more than 200,000 bullets are probably the amount of bullets consumed by a US military brigade in several days of training.

Qin Guan nodded and said he knew.

Qin Guan knew that Xiong Da and others regarded the guns as treasures, and the personal guards were personally used to guard them, so that no one could touch them. Now Qin Guan's personal guards have expanded to 500 people, all of which have received gun training, but only about 100 people can be assigned to guns.

Qin Guan had already vacate most of the weapons in the space, took out all the bullets, and handed them over to the personal guards for management. Now his space is empty.

Qin Guan's space now has only a few pistols, two sniper rifles, two hunting rifles, two boxes of Rpg bazooka, two remaining two AK47 rifles that he played with, and some used bullets.

Qin Guan had already made a plan in his mind and ordered: "Yuzhou City is very close to Dading Prefecture. It is left as a base, so we have a place to rest."

"Okay, young master." Xiong Dadao.

"There are no outsiders left in Yuzhou City, and the Han people directly asked them to leave. As for the soldiers surrendered by the Liao Kingdom, including those from Yuzhou, they all rushed to the front line."

Qin Guan now has many surrendered soldiers. He gathered nearly 10,000 people to defeat Yelu Shi, and more than 20,000 people to defeat Lumingshan. In addition to the Liao people in Yuzhou, he now has 50,000 or 60,000 prisoners of war in Liao Kingdom.

Early the next morning, Qin Guan led an army of 40,000 to drive 50,000 or 60,000 Liao slave soldiers to the city of Zhongjing.

From a distance, this team of 100,000 people is really imposing.

Qin Guan didn't know that at this time the Emperor of Liao had already fled with the remaining 20,000 imperial guards.

Dading City was very empty, and the officials had no choice but to draw personnel from each family and reorganized a defensive team of about 20,000 people.

Facing Zhongjing City, Qin Guan asked Han Yuqing: "How do you think we should break through such a big city?"

Han Yuqing said: "Your Majesty, siege is nothing more than siege and strong attack. The means are divided into fire attack, water attack, earth attack, plague, noise, tunnel warfare, spy infiltration and other methods. In the Zhongjing City in front of me, I think you can use siege and fire attack, and you can use earth attack to break the city."

Qin Guan nodded and expressed his agreement.

The siege is to send heavy troops to surround you, cut off your food and cut off your water, and hungry for three, five months and one or two years, you will open your door to surrender. Being besieged by the enemy is terrible, the food is reduced day by day, and the physical strength is weakened day by day. In addition to severe psychological pressure, many incidents of eating human flesh because of being siege in the history of war.

Fire attack means using bows and arrows and stone casting tools to throw fire into the enemy city, which can cause significant damage to the enemy.

As the name suggests, water attack means using water instead of soldiers and attacking the enemy. The main forms of water attack include "building a dam to flood the city", "breaking the dike and rushing the enemy", "breaking the water to trap the enemy", etc. In ancient times, the city walls were mostly rammed with earth, and watering with water naturally became a shortcut to attack the city. Let water you soak for two or three days first, and if I don't move, your city wall will collapse and turn into mud.

Earth attack means directly using soil to fill the moat of trenches and build a road. Qin Guan thought that Mongolia used this method when attacking a city. Each of the 100,000 cavalrymen carried a bag of sand and soil and threw it under the enemy's city wall. In just a few days, a mountain of earth could be built. Then the army directly followed the mountain of earth and slaughtered all the way, with mighty and domineering.

Plague is a way to use a catapult to throw rotten cattle, sheep, and even human corpses, as well as manure into the enemy city, thereby spreading diseases and plagues, leaving the enemy without the power of backhand. It is a very disgusting and perverted trick!

In the wild, water sources can also be polluted.

It is easy to understand tunnel warfare. Dig tunnels and drill directly into the city, then attack and break it, and it can also be combined with water attack.

Noise is also a disgusting trick. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers stand at your doorstep, beating drums and yelling, making noise day and night. It’s okay for a day or two, but you will be mentally broken for ten days and half a month.

You can imagine the Trojan horse scheme when spies infiltrate. A group of special forces are involved in the inside and outside, which is very troublesome. You even use spies to create messages in the city and create chaos, but you won’t be able to have a good time anyway.

In ancient times, wars had actually had a very comprehensive system. Famous generals would do their own strength and psychological tactics to the extreme, thereby winning the war.

Sun Tzu's art of war says: the superior army attacks the plan, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, and the lower is the enemy's enemy; the method of siege is a last resort. Therefore, the most stupid way to attack the city is to attack the city head-on before it is absolutely necessary.
