Chapter 1147 Fusang Army Night Attack
()...,
Sure enough, the night came, but Datang's army just changed another army and continued to attack.
"Change the Fusang army and concentrate on one city wall." At night, Zhang Liao ordered.
At night, the enemy can't see clearly. If they suddenly change an army or a different style of fighting, they will definitely not be familiar with it.
Although they all knew that there were overseas troops in the Great Tang army, they never saw it with their own eyes, so they could always keep it a certain mystery.
The Fusang army is here. Although their fighting strength is not as high as that of the Tang Dynasty, after a relatively long period of training, their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary troops.
"kill."
A group of short, but nimble people climbed the ladder.
They moved so quickly that many even shed their heavy helmets and armor.
Under the cover of the night, the archers on Datang's side immediately had the advantage.
Datang's army attaches great importance to training. After a lot of practice, they can shoot arrows well if they are given a general direction and distance.
The archers were still approaching and attacking, firing arrows in rows.
In the dark, archers cannot shoot accurately, and at the same time, it is difficult to avoid them.
A large number of enemies were attacked by the archers, and the casualties rose immediately.
Originally, the night battle was a disadvantage to the siege side, but Datang's army forcibly turned them into an advantage.
Archer casualties are greatly reduced.
Cao Jun's archers had less practice. They couldn't attack so accurately in the dark, and the casualties of archers in the city were greatly reduced.
"kill."
The Fusang army climbed quickly, and with the cover of archers, they killed the top of the city.
From time to time, a torch was thrown up from the city to correct the attacks of the archers. They rarely accidentally injured their own people.
The archers saw the army climb up, and they were desperately outputting, shooting several rounds of arrows in a minute.
This pair of arms consumes a lot of strength,
After shooting a few times, it is necessary to quickly replace a group of people.
The powerful output allowed the Fusang army to climb to the top of the city and fight bloody with the enemies on the top of the city.
"The city is broken."
"The city was broken."
"kill."
A group of people were killed, and suddenly someone shouted in cooperation, which affected their morale.
Cao Ang has been on the top of the city today, tired all day.
At night, he went to have a meal, came over to make an inspection, and then planned to rest. He had to keep in good shape.
But just as he was about to get down from the top of the city, he saw chaos on the top of the city.
"Kill me."
He immediately mobilized an army and led people to kill them.
Cao Ang arrived with reinforcements. At this time, hundreds of people went to the top of the city.
There was chaos at the top of the city, and soldiers below the city took the opportunity to come up one after another.
After a great battle, Cao Ang managed to drive people away.
This side was driven down, and the other side was almost attacked.
That night, Cao Ang did not dare to go down to the city to rest, and led the army to patrol around.
Zhang Xiu came to look for him in the middle of the night.
"Eldest son, go and take a rest, this battle will not end so easily, you still need to continue commanding tomorrow."
Why didn't Cao Ang understand this truth? Cao Ang knew it even if he didn't say anything, but he couldn't go down.
He didn't feel at ease if he went on. Today was the first day of fierce attack, and being taken to the top of the city has already greatly affected morale. If this continues, the morale of the army will collapse by then.
"You go to rest first, come and replace me tomorrow morning."
Cao Ang was determined to continue guarding and asked Zhang Xiu to rest.
Zhang Xiu was helpless, and he was also very tired. Tomorrow, he must be commanded by a general, so he went down to the top of the city.
After going down, he didn't go far, but slept in a military camp behind the city wall.
He is a veteran in the army, no matter how noisy it is outside, he can still sleep.
Cao Ang has been guarding the top of the city, and there were several dangers at night, but there was no danger before, and they were all resolved.
Days, gradually whitening.
It was an unusually long night.
Cao Ang defended very hard.
"Go and count the casualties."
At dawn, Zhang Xiu came to replace Cao Ang early. Although he only slept for half the night, he quickly recovered.
"Young master, you are too tired, you must go to rest." Zhang Xiu said.
Cao Ang shook his head lightly, sighed and said, "Last night, there were several dangers, and the casualties are probably not small. I'll wait for the casualties to come out."
Zhang Xiu didn't try to persuade him any further, and then said: "Young master wait here first, and my subordinates will go to inspect the city wall."
The siege army temporarily retreated, but there are already new siege troops waiting.
Zhang Liao also stayed up all night, but he was not so stressed.
He has a few generals who can be used, and the other generals are no worse than him when it comes to siege.
Zhang Liao was also estimating the outcome of the battle.
Last night, they probably knew the situation of their losses. They lost seven or eight thousand troops.
I don't know how much the enemy lost, but last night's attack worked very well.
Last night, he almost attacked several times, which proved that the effect was good. Zhang Liao went to rest after knowing it.
Last night, among the generals, only Zhang Liao was there, and the other generals went to rest. They did not expect such a result on the first day.
It's very simple, they have made long-term plans, and it may take a relatively long time to attack, so those who should rest should rest, and only after rest can they continue to fight for a long time.
In the city, the battle damage statistics report also came out. They actually lost more than 9,000 people in the whole day of fighting.
This made Cao Ang unacceptable.
Cao Ang didn't think it would be so serious. He thought he could defend for at least half a year, but he lost a lot in one day, which is very difficult to do.
After Cao Ang read the battle report, although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep at all. The huge loss made him feel uncertain.
Cao Ang was walking on the top of the city, looking at the enemy below with a heavy heart.
The enemy's attack last night caught them off guard.
Datang's army began to attack again.
Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked from all directions, giving them no chance to breathe.
This time, Cao Ang and the others were prepared, and some generals were divided into several sections of the city wall. In this way, the pressure on their defense would be much less.
Datang's army is still attacking fiercely, and the soldiers are not afraid of death.
Cao Ang was very tired, but he was worried all the time. He didn't go down to the top of the city until night.
After two days and one night, Cao Ang was exhausted.
Just had something to eat, Cao Ang forced himself to sleep for a while, who knows what will happen at night.
The fighting during the day was still fierce, but they were prepared, so the losses were not too great.
At night, it is unknown whether there will be a situation.
Night, people feel that a lot of uncertainty has been added.
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong were in charge of the first half of the night, and they commanded under the two city walls respectively.
"Let the Fusang army prepare and attack violently again. They will attack after two hours."
"Mobilize 10,000 more archers, and when the Fusang army starts to attack, attack together and put enough pressure on them," Zhang Liao said.
