Huang Feng can probably guess the reaction of those coalition forces. Even if he is himself, he can only do that. After all, if there is no cavalry force with strong mobility, if you still choose to fight in the field, That is a great disadvantage, unless the brains of the coalition generals are broken, will there be such a decision.
Obviously, their brains weren't bad, or that they weren't all broken. Therefore, they finally chose to stick to the city and rely on the strength of the city wall to resist their own crusade.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Feng is not in a hurry, presumably those people have already taken defensive measures, and they are just waiting for his arrival, so why are he still so anxious?It is obviously not a wise choice to face the opponent's pawn with a tired army.
So, after another two days on the road, Huang Feng's army finally reached the first county under the control of the coalition forces.
Huang Feng didn't rush to attack the city, but let his troops camp and rest. Instead, he took Su Yumo's daughters, rode horses, and walked around the city wall far away, which took a lot of time.
"It can be seen that they are all ready." Bai Xiaorou said, staring at the city wall in the distance.
"Well, for such a long time, if they are not prepared, there is absolutely a problem with their brains, and they will not be able to achieve the status they are today." Huang Feng said, without much surprise on his face.
Everyone can see from a distance. On the wall, there are fully armed soldiers standing, holding weapons in their hands, and looking condescendingly at the Huangfeng troops camping in the distance, and Huang Feng and others also see In addition to those soldiers, there are also some things similar to trebuchets, and these things can still play a role in the battle.
However, Huang Feng knows that the more important effect of these things is to scare people, and the actual killing effect is not too great. This thing is certainly not as accurate as the cannons on the earth, that is, the siege forces are denser. It can hit people. If the number of people is relatively small, this thing is a waste. If you can't hit people, it will take a lot of manpower to operate them, which is totally outweigh the gain.
Huang Feng has also used it before. When attacking the city, it has some effects. After all, there is no way for the defending unit to move. Moreover, the city wall is there, and it can have some destructive effects on the city wall. It was a lot worse, so later, when Huang Feng attacked the city, he would rather go to his "special forces" than use this thing, which was really not worthwhile.
In addition to the trebuchets, Huang Feng also saw that there are still a lot of stones and woods in the city. These things are not beyond Huang Feng’s expectations. After all, these are things commonly used in defending the city. Before overthrowing the rule of the previous dynasty, I hadn't seen these things rarely, and it was no longer surprising.
"It seems that there is nothing new." Huang Feng looked at it for a while and said indifferently.
"I watched it on TV. The attacker will lose more than the defender during the battle. Are you sure?" Su Yumo looked at the countless enemy troops in the distance and asked with some worry. .
Although Huang Feng has brought a large army of 500,000, the defenders in the city are not few. Moreover, the other nearby counties are also the spheres of influence of the coalition forces. Once here is attacked, those coalition forces will , It is very likely that they will come to support. At that time, Huang Feng will not be facing the soldiers in this county, but there will be more enemies.
"There must be a certainty, otherwise, I will not personally lead the army on the expedition." Huang Feng said, there is not much nervousness on his face, he is confident that he can completely rely on the 500,000 troops in his hand. Annihilated the enemy.
Huang Feng is preparing to use some special methods this time. In this way, not only can these rebellions be put down, but also a mysterious feeling can be left to others. In that case, even if he leaves, no one dares to rebel again.
"We almost forgot, you still have a storage box, you can exchange a lot of good things, presumably, you already want to deal with things here." Tang Muxue said.
"Yeah." Huang Feng nodded, he did have a preliminary plan.
Huang Feng is so confident that other people naturally won't worry about anything anymore. All they have to do is to continue to believe in Huang Feng.
Huang Feng and a few women wandered around the city, and then returned to the camp. After that, Huang Feng recruited several major generals to discuss the concrete siege tomorrow.
When Huang Feng and the others were preparing to attack the city in an orderly manner, the defenders in the city were nervously looking at the troops outside the city. That was 500,000 people. The camp was stretched out and you couldn't see the head. In addition, they had heard the news that the cavalry unit was killed and the entire army was annihilated, and their hearts became even more nervous. Ten thousand cavalry units did not cause much damage to the other party, and they were gone. It was something that no one had thought of, and it made everyone more palpitations about the strength of Huang Feng's troops.
Now, they are about to officially fight with Huang Feng’s troops. How could they not be nervous? When Huang Feng was the leader of the rebel army before, they had heard of his name, and even many rebel soldiers were very concerned about him. Huang Feng still admired him, but he didn't expect that one day he would stand on the opposite side of Huang Feng and become an enemy. It's really unpredictable.
"Er Gouzi, do you say that we can beat Huang Feng? I heard that he is very strong and can give birth to tigers and leopards." On the head of the city, a young soldier whispered to the people around him.
"I don't know." The man next to him shook his head and said: "I have not seen Huang Feng, but I have seen his troops before. They are really good at attacking. When attacking the city, a charge and defend the city. The people who lived in this area couldn't hold it anymore. In just one month, the previous emperor was killed. This is really amazing."
"Yeah, our chief didn't know what to think, why didn't he accept Huang Feng's Zhao'an? I heard that after Huang Feng became the emperor, he divided fields for the people, and there was no tax. A good emperor, I have never heard of it. I still think about waiting for the leader to accept Zhao'an so that I can go home and plant the land." The man said before.
"I also heard about this. A few days ago, relatives in my village wrote to me saying that his family would be allocated fields. Each person has four acres of land, and they don’t have to pay taxes. They are now a family. I am happily farming at home. I am almost envious. I have been helping the master’s farm before, and I dreamed of wanting a piece of my own land. Now the opportunity is here and I can’t get it. It’s really amazing. Angry." Er Gouzi said.
"Who said no." The person before also sighed.
Most of the soldiers of the rebels were farmers and wanted to have a field of their own. After Huang Feng became the emperor, they were given this opportunity, but they couldn't get out. This made them very frustrated. Before, no one wanted to escape and go home, but once caught, they would be beaten to death. Therefore, other talents were very jealous.
It’s just that these two people actually know that in secret, there are still people running away, and every day, after all, the temptation of the fields is too great for them, even if they risk their lives, they want to get it. Therefore, every day there are people running away, and some people are caught back and killed. However, some people run away smoothly. For those who successfully escaped, the rest are only envious.
The two sighed at the top of the city, and what they thought the most was not how to face the attack of Huang Feng’s army, but how to escape smoothly and then go home to farm. There are many people who have this idea here. Although everyone dared not talk about it in person, they did not say anything secretly. For farmers, there is nothing happier and more important than obtaining a piece of land that belongs to them.
The night fell slowly, and both sides became quiet. On the first day, neither side did anything. Huang Feng did not attack, the people in the city did not take the initiative to attack, and at night, there was no attack on the camp. After all, the previous failure was too painful, leaving the coalition forces to dispatch at will.
When the sun just rose the next morning, Huang Feng asked his troops to assemble the troops. According to his plan, today was going to siege the city, and at the beginning, he was not going to use his own exchange. Those slaves use ordinary soldiers instead.
Saying that these soldiers are ordinary, they are only compared with the slaves that Huang Feng has exchanged for. In fact, these soldiers have followed Huang Feng for a long time in the north and south wars, and they also have rich combat experience. At the beginning, Huang Feng was With them, they successfully overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers was much stronger than those of the defenders in the city.
The horn sounded, and the tragic offensive and defensive battle was finally officially kicked off. A team of soldiers ran forward carrying the ladder. Archers were shooting arrows continuously to suppress the enemy at the head of the city. The army didn't mean to catch them with their hands. They were also shooting arrows, using trebuchets to throw huge stones down, smashing them to death.
Huang Feng and Su Yumo's daughters were in a relatively high position. They looked at the two fighting parties in front. With the experience of the previous night battle, now the women saw such a fierce offensive and defensive battle. His face is not very good, but it is also a lot better than before, at least, no one will vomit anymore.
