Chapter 851: Siege!
Chu Rui's words were not full of passion, but the content of his words spoke to the hearts of these soldiers. Money moves people's hearts, and any so-called national justice does not exist. Only pure interests can completely bind others, let them serve you, and achieve the goals you want.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!
This is an absolute saying of wisdom passed down from ancient times!
Perhaps, for relatives and loved ones, this sentence can be broken, but for these soldiers who entered the military camp with a purpose, if necessary and there are sufficient conditions, they can even kill their own generals!
"In this battle, we must attack quickly. The shield soldiers press forward, and the crossbowmen, under the protection of the shield armor, aim at the slingers and archers on the city wall. They will kill them as much as possible. The catapults at the rear will try their best to buy you time. . . . Everything this general said before counts, and everyone has heard it. However, the ugly words are that in the front, if anyone dares to take a step back, he will be killed without mercy. No matter how many enemies you kill or how big a barrier you set up. As long as you retreat, not only will your life be saved, but everything you have said before will be invalid. This means that not only will you lose your pension, but you will also be labeled as a coward, and you will not become a martyr after your death. You should be very clear about these.”
Chu Rui's cold voice spread throughout the army, making some guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters sweat. In the feudal era, women valued chastity more than life, while men valued reputation more than life. If this is the case, then they will not be able to live in peace even if they die, and it will also bring disaster to their families. If you meet someone with a good heart, you won't go to trouble his family. However, the gossips and disdainful looks from the neighbors are enough to make people collapse. Sometimes, a hero who can defeat thousands of others on the battlefield and possess unparalleled heroic spirit is still as fragile as a woman's heart under the influence of rumors and public opinion.
"Now, take out all the materials, have the best meal, and then burn the tent and smash the iron pot for me. If we don't win this battle, we will all die. We have no way out, either All of them died in the battle, or they didn’t have to share meals and sleep in the open tonight. They lived in the city, slept on soft high couches, and hugged pretty beauties. If you become a deserter, even if you really escape, let alone your reputation. , without supplies, you will starve to death."
Chu Rui ordered to go down and take out all the supplies under the personal supervision of the soldiers who were absolutely loyal to him. With the simplest plan, I could still eat enough for five days, but it was all eaten in one meal. As a general, Chu Rui's food is very good, but he took it all out and gave the pioneers, deputy generals and other generals' ingredients to the gang leader soldiers. There was enough rice, as well as coarse steamed buns and gruel, and each soldier was given some meat. For a time, the entire camp was filled with laughter and laughter.
After the meal, I rested for an hour. Then Chu Rui burned the tents in the camp in front of all the soldiers, smashed the iron pots for cooking, and destroyed all the remaining supplies.
If you must succeed in attacking the city at once, you must force yourself into a dead end. If there is still a chance and the capital to make a comeback, you will be lucky and it is absolutely not advisable. In such a situation, Chu Rui will never allow it. Therefore, he followed the example of the overlord of Chu and fought against the odds. The whole army, which has no way of retreat, will be even more desperate.
Of course, doing so may lead to alienation. This is the time to test a general's charisma. Chu Rui asked himself that he would not be bad and could bring them confidence. Moreover, his promise was a catalyst that these soldiers, who could be said to be losers, could not refuse. The finances and other things in the city are yours to grab. There will definitely be no shortage of delicacies to eat. As for desires, they can be perfectly vented.
Chu Rui said before that he should not kill innocent people indiscriminately, rape women, etc., and then said that he could sleep with a pretty beauty. This was not against his own principles. However, when it comes to cuddling, you can only do it with the other person’s consent. Agreeing can't be considered strong.
Holding a thick and hard fine iron shield, a large group of shield soldiers raised it high, forming a huge iron plate. Those light-bodied archers and other troops were hidden under it, following the large army slowly towards Advance to the city.
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrow rain flashed, and thousands of arrows were fired in unison. They fell crazily like locusts crossing the border. The sharp arrow tips shone like a downpour of cold light and struck hard on the steel shield. The fierce friction caused a crisp sound. friction sound.
The blood mist shone and blood flowed.
There is no airtight wall in this world, and naturally there is no completely integrated shield wall without any wind element. There were too many arrows, and even though most of them were blocked, some of them still passed through the gaps and stabbed hard into the bodies of the soldiers below.
A hail of arrows caused thousands of casualties. Those seriously injured soldiers who could have saved their lives if treated immediately, as well as those who were dead, had no way to escape. Today's shield soldiers are a whole. There is no need to deliberately put up a fight, these injured, injured and dead people all follow together and move forward as a whole. If you don't know, you might think that this round of arrow rain has no effect.
"put!"
Standing at the back, Chu Rui looked at the reflection of the crossbowmen who were constantly advancing forward, taking advantage of the gap between the two waves of arrow rain on the city wall and hiding under the shield soldiers, and was extremely indifferent. After giving the order, the messenger quickly conveyed the order. The trebuchets and giant crossbows that were already ready to go were shot out instantly.
Huge rocks were thrown high and then smashed down. The gravity of the stone was attracted by gravity, and its power was so terrifying that even the city wall cast by molten iron would have a hole, let alone the flesh and blood body.
"it's time!"
Seeing that the shield soldiers successfully assaulted the bottom of the city wall, and were being hit hard by the stone by the defenders above, Chu Rui glanced at the deputy general, who understood, and immediately let the man with a thickness of more than ten meters The birch ironwood soldiers charged forward, and a large number of soldiers with tall city wall ladders also charged forward.
The city gate can be broken down, but during this period, the enemy will definitely counterattack crazily, so the battle on the city wall ladder is essential. Firstly, it distracts the enemy's energy. Secondly, if they rely on this to get onto the city wall and occupy that place, they can occupy the higher and lower positions, thereby launching a random attack on the defenders under the city wall.
