When the restless drum sounded, the soldiers on the Qingzhou city wall were still eating in turn. The first group of soldiers had just eaten halfway, and the soldiers in the second round had not yet had time to hold the bowl. The drum sounded in the enemy camp under the city wall.

As if they were ordered, the soldiers followed their respective paths and rushed into battle. The officers shouted and scolded the soldiers who were too nervous and dizzy, and urged them to be in place.

But what disappointed the Pingluya Army was that although the enemy camp was very thrilling, no one left the camp, and even no shield chariots arranged in front of the formation were moving.

The soldiers cursed, but the officers were extremely frustrated. This was the advantage of the main attacking party. They could choose the attack rhythm anytime and anywhere, while the defense could only follow them.

Chai Yong stroked Mo Dao in his hand with interest, stood on the ridge with one leg, staring ahead.

The chaos on the city wall and then quickly calmed down, it was seen in his eyes. It has to be said that Wang Shouzhong's tooth army is still quite good. With such a short time, few armies can do it. At least it is rare to find two armies in the Huai You and Zuo Army.

He Renlong moved his body with his neck tilted, and the single-legged bronze man in his hand was placed across his shoulder. He picked up a handful of grass roots and threw them in his mouth to chew. "Second envoy, how much effect can this little trick play?"

"It's just a strategy for exhaustion. Pinglu Army had just had a meal. This made them feel upset after a few consecutive moves. Then we would come up with surprise, and the reaction speed should drop a lot."

Chai Yong also knew that this method could not change the overall situation, but it could weaken the opponent's morale to a certain extent. Today's battle is the first battle, and he had no hope to break the city. Today's mission is to kill his elite troops to the greatest extent.

Such continuous fatigue will make the opponent slow to respond to the surprise attack. Of course, it is so long after all, but it can extend the opponent's reaction time and reduce some of its own losses. This is enough.

Sure enough, seeing that there was no response in the Huaiyou Army camp, after waiting, the Pinglu Army on the city wall began to rotate to eat again, but soon, the drums were just louder again, more intense than before, and even the shield cart began to move. There were crowds of people on the city wall again, and there was a turmoil, but there was still no other move outside the city.

Four consecutive times made Pinglu Jun on the city of Qingzhou also angry and restless.

Taking a deep breath, Chai Yong's tight belt covered the back of his hands and wrists, firmly grasped the hilt of Modao's knife, lifted the cowhide boots under his feet, and moved his limbs. He Renlong, who was fifty steps away, also began to refresh his luck and prepare to start.

As soon as his eyes met the chess player standing on the mound, Chai Yong waved his left hand suddenly. The chess player began to wave the small flag in an understanding way. The drum sound behind him suddenly rang, completely different from the previous few times.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!Dong!"

He Renlong's eyes flashed on the front camp commander Sun Cheng, who was under his command, and he said, "Go!"

"Go!" A blue air suddenly flashed across Sun Cheng's face, he tied the belt around his waist, and shook the spear in his hand, and walked forward suddenly.

The five hundred soldiers moved forward quickly as if they were discharged from the gate. Before the five hundred soldiers moved, the shield truck in front had already begun to advance in an orderly manner.

On the north, Sima Zhi, the deputy commander of the right battalion of the Third Army of the Huai Right, held the handan knife in his hand, and a round shield tightly placed on his left arm. He took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "Follow me!"

The same black soldiers were broken into five small strips, maintaining a certain distance, and moving forward steadily under the leadership of Sima Zhi.

From the shield car standing up to the city wall, it is 600 steps away. Whether it is your own catapult, crossbow car, or the opponent's long-range strike force, it cannot exceed this distance limit. This is also the best attack standby area.

The rhythmic footsteps basically maintain a stride and frequency, but the distance between them is slowly approaching, because the area covered by the shield car in front is limited, especially once it enters the enemy's crossbow car and catapult strike area, it is necessary to curl up to the shield car as much as possible to avoid being injured by stone bullets and crossbow arrows.

As the commander of the Second Army of the Pingluya Army, although Yao Meng has not had many opportunities to experience the battle formation in recent years, he has seen too many situations in his 20-year military career. He also knows that such offensive and defensive battles are actually a competition of the consumption of strength and the tenacity of will. Whoever has stronger strength and who has more tenacity can laugh to the end. Of course, this refers to the situation where the offensive and defensive sides are equally strong.

Under normal circumstances, the comparison between the offensive and defensive sides should be that the attacking side's troops should be three to five times the defending city, and three times is the most basic number, and it should be for small cities at the county level, such as the prefecture city level, generally five times the troops are required, especially for the heroic cities like Qingzhou.

Therefore, in this battle in Qingzhou, although Yao Meng knew that nearly 50,000 troops were gathered under the city, and also knew that Huaiyou had made sufficient preparations to cut off and disperse the Qingzhou defenders' forces, even so, Yao Meng did not think that Huaiyou Army now had many advantages.

Perhaps what Huaiyou relied most was their advantage in long-range strike weapons, but Yao Meng did not think that this could change the entire battle situation. The facts would soon prove that in front of the elite of the Pangluya Army, the siege battle would cause all the soldiers of the Huaiyou Army to be exhausted.

When the drum sounded, Yao Meng, who had grown up, saw that something was wrong at the first time.

First of all, the drums of the Huai You Army were different from the previous times. Although the sound was not loud, it contained power and sonorousness. Secondly, the shield cart also moved, and unlike the previous times, it was all moving in unison and uniform, which was obviously prepared. Again, the soldiers of this army were a little tired at this time, which was the time when the enemy was most likely to be ridden by the enemy.

So as soon as he discovered the abnormality, he immediately ordered his personal guards to order the golden bell to strike, which meant that the enemy attacked.

Fortunately, although they were a little dull by the enemy's exhausted soldiers, after the golden bell rang, the soldiers realized that this time it was really an enemy attack, and they all hurriedly followed their respective areas to taste it quickly, but this meal was probably not enough to be eaten.

As expected, the enemy camp quickly became restless like a stabbed hornet, and immediately evolved into three attack fronts, accelerated forward and pounced on them.

The speed of the shield car is also far better than the speed when it was blocking the civilians in the morning. Then, the following of the shield car is the city car, the ladder and the hook car, and of course, the soldiers of the Huaiyou Army swarming behind it.

The siege battle finally started!

Chai Yong followed the right camp led by Sun Cheng quickly and walked silently. The towering car shield covered most of the sky ahead, and the bangs kept ringing, accompanied by the continuous shaking of the car shield.

Although the shield car continued to speed up and advance, the shield car was soon broken. When the shield fell, soldiers immediately came forward and raised the shield in their hands to build the simplest line of defense.

Although this defensive line has no effect when resisting stone bombs and large crossbows, it can play a role when resisting ordinary arrows.

After all, when it reached only 150 steps, the speed of the shield car was even faster under the guidance of the soldiers, and then the ladder car, the city rushing car, and the hook car that followed closely also began to speed up and follow up. These are all essential equipment for siege.

Chai Yong's eyes were calm, and some soldiers around him fell down without saying a word, some staggered and screamed repeatedly, and some people struggled but could not. Stone bullets, giant crossbows, and arrows were afraid that they were covered by shields, but as they were getting closer and closer, they quickly became a dense net of death.

However, the Huai You Army was not without the power to fight back. With the stop of a catapult and heavy crossbow truck, the long-range strike force of the Huai You Army, which was outside the range, began to fully demonstrate their huge advantages in this regard.

Even though the Pinglu Army had the advantage of towering city walls and resistance from city towers and battle sheds, it was already at a disadvantage under the continuous attacks of catapults and heavy crossbows.

When the Zuoying approached the city wall, at least nearly 100 soldiers had already left the battlefield, with many casualties, but their efforts were not without reward.

The power of the stone trolley of the Huaiyou Army has far exceeded that of the Pinglu Army's catapult. Whether it is the weight or range of the stone bomb, it is not comparable to that of the Pinglu Army, and the power of the heavy crossbow is far better than that of the large crossbow of the Pinglu Army.

The result of the shooting was that in just two minutes, seven catapults and three crossbows were shattered at the head of Qingzhou city.

Once the siege infantry arrives under the city wall, Qingzhou City will face the most tragic and bloody collision and duel.

Chai Yong took a deep breath, raised his gaze, and raised Mo Dao.

The hook beside him finally hooked the stool firmly, which means that soon the soldiers of Huaiyou Army would rush up along this step-type hook.

This hook truck, which is somewhat similar to Chongcheng Car to a certain extent, has a particularly advantage over Chongcheng Car, which is that it is more flexible and convenient and has a faster implementation speed.

The hooks with a certain degree of elasticity on the hook truck have also been improved, unlike the original hooks that are fixed, which can extend close to the city wall and accurately hang the battlements of the city wall. The hooks are made of pure steel and are quite sharp. Once hooked, they cannot be untied at all. If you have to chop with a knife and an axe, this pure steel hook is not something that ordinary soldiers can cut.

Turning his head and looking south, the front camp where He Renlong personally pressed the formation had already arrived under the city wall.

Two city rushers, a hook truck, and a ladder truck were stuck on the battlements of the city wall. The soldiers began to shout and charge, and the crossbowmen on the city wall also began to adjust their formation. Instead of shooting at long-range shots, they should take the lead in shooting and killing these Huaiyou soldiers who were already on the city.
