The Wu army did not take any advantage in this wave of surprise attacks.

The Wu army temporarily retreated three miles away and began to build a pot to prepare for lunch. They fought again in the afternoon.

The bronze cannon in Danyang City can be hooked a little bit in front of it, but it cannot hurt anyone.

Chu Tianxiu did not waste shells either.

The soldiers guarding the city in Danyang breathed a sigh of relief and began to rest on the spot. When it was time for the meal, the injured soldiers carried them down to the city to heal the wounded.

The prince Xiang Tiange, Shen Wanbao and others all breathed a sigh of relief. They were so scared that they were so scared that they were confused and almost thought they were going to be attacked by the Wu army.

Fortunately, Li Yu dispatched heavy rifle soldiers in time to block the Wu army's light cavalry.

"Son-in-law, do you want to demolish the slopes? There is explosives in the city, so just blow up these wooden frames of the slopes."

Li Gannian said.

"Save it for now!"

Chu Tianxiu thought for a while and shook her head.

This five-00-meter-long slope wooden frame will definitely become the important place that the Wu army wants to take. Attacking here is much easier than attacking other steep city walls.

As long as this slope is still there, the Wu army will definitely gather heavy troops here and attack this section of the city wall with all its might.

However, the defenders of Danyang City are not weak, with 30,000 elite infantry, all of which are the main elites of the imperial court from Jinling.

There are also ten bronze cannons, hundreds of small steel cannons with artillery advantages, and six thousand musketeers.

The more concentrated the artillery fire, the greater the power.

It can achieve an extremely high loss ratio.

The city guard army only needs to pay the price of one soldier, which is enough to kill five to ten soldiers on the other side.

In the battle just now, at the cost of a few hundred heavy infantry, 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers of the Wu army and 1,500 elite light cavalrymen were defeated.

Such a war loss ratio is completely acceptable for the Danyang City defenders.

If the wooden frame is removed, the Wu army will attack from all directions of the city walls. It is not scattered in large quantities, and it will be difficult to achieve such a high loss ratio.

Moreover, Chu Tianxiu still had an explosive bag in his hand and was not used, so he was not worried that the slope would be captured by the Wu army.

Thousands of heavy infantry holding shields and spears were piled up on the slope wooden frame, forming a thick defensive wall. No matter how many troops the Wu army sent to attack, they could not rush up.

"Clean the slope, let it go, and lure the Wu army to attack!"

"yes!"

The Danyang defenders quickly sent thousands of people to clean up the bodies and war horses of thousands of Wu army cavalry on the wooden frame on the slope.

All the bodies were returned to Wu Jun.

Of course, the 1,500 dead war horses were killed and eaten directly, and the defenders who fought to the death and fought to the death, each of which was one pound of horse meat.

Seeing that the Danyang City defenders had moved away all the dead war horses, Wu Jun was so angry that he was itchy, but he did not dare to send troops to rob him.

...

After lunch, both armies were full and full of food and drink.

The sluggish morale of the Wu army after the setback gradually recovered.

In front of the Wu army.

"General Wu Pei, lead 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers to attack the city! The feint attack should not be too much."

"General Wang Xian, lead 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers to attack the city! The feint attack should not be too much."

"General Zhang Gao, lead 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers to attack the city at the West City Gate! The feint attack should not be too much."

"The rest of the generals follow me and attack the southern city gate!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu shouted.

"Father, each sect sends 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers. Will the Danyang City Guardian take the opportunity to leave the city and eat these miscellaneous soldiers?"

Xiang Xian said a little worried.

"These three 30,000 infantry camps are all baits. If the city guards go out to eat miscellaneous soldiers, it is exactly what I want.

If Xiao Hunhou wants to eat any of my 30,000 camps, he will definitely send tens of thousands of troops out of the city to attack. It is impossible to eat the 30,000 infantry camp in one breath. It will take at least two or three hours to fight.

The king joined forces to siege and ate all the soldiers and horses he left the city.

If Xiaohunhou wants to take advantage of half of my troops to attack my own formation directly. Then these three 30,000-strong camps will take down the city and capture his retreat."

Xiang Bi sneered.

The prince Xiang Xian then realized that those 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers also had the function of bait.

"yes!"

The three generals Wu Pei, Wang Xian and Zhang Gao obeyed the orders and each brought 30,000 infantry to the other city gates. However, they only had the simplest wooden ladder to climb the wall and no other siege equipment.

In the south of the city, nearly 100,000 main forces of the Wu army remained.

Among them, three elite infantry battalions, more than 18,000 elite cavalry, and five miscellaneous soldiers battalions.

Soon, war began to ignite at the tops of Danyang City.

Danyang defended the city with sufficient troops, as many as 50,000 or 60,000, and almost all were elite infantrymen of the court.

Two thousand elite infantry arranged on each city wall is enough to defend the city, so there is no need to worry about being brought to the top of the city by miscellaneous soldiers.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu, with more than ten generals, were all confronting the main force of the Wu army under the city at the southern gate of Danyang.

"Two soldiers and ten thousand battalions began to attack the city walls on both sides of the south city gate."

"Thirty pointed siege cars attacked the South City Gate in turn!"

"Fifty three-meter-high ladders, one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall, archers shot oil-fifty rockets to suppress the city's head."

"Fifty stone throwers, advance one mile from the city wall, and throw stones at the top of the city!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu shouted.

When attacking Wanling County, in order to capture the two and a half meters high of Wanling City Wall, the 250,000 Wu army built many large-scale siege equipment.

But he walked slowly and his new advancement was less than half the speed of the infantry.

This large number of large-scale siege equipment, escorted by thousands of miscellaneous infantry, was hanging behind Wu's main army, and lagging behind a lot.

The King of Wu secretly left behind 10,000 light cavalry not far away to protect these siege equipment, hoping that more than 10,000 defenders from Wanling City would leave the city to destroy these equipment.

Unfortunately, Xie Anran did not take the bait and guarded Wanling City, and no soldiers were sent out.

The King of Wu felt a pity.

If Xie Anran sent troops out of the city to destroy these siege equipment, he could kill someone immediately and might be able to take down Wanling City.

Unfortunately, it's just thinking about it.

Xie Anran did not take the bait.

The main force of the Wu army arrived at the city of Danyang last night.

These heavy equipment took a day, a night to ignite torches late at night, and arrived at Danyang City at noon today.

It can be used to attack Danyang City.

These ladders alone are as high as three zhang high, with a platform above which can stand dozens of archers to facilitate archery suppression of Wanling City. Of course, they are even more condescending to deal with the ten-zhang high Danyang City.

In addition to these large siege equipment, there are countless other small and medium-sized siege equipment, large and small. They are not veterans who have experienced many battles, and they don’t even understand their purpose.
