Once this heavy siege weapon is used, it is only a matter of time before the loss of Qingzhou City is lost.

After Bingzhou Army possessed this kind of siege weapon, it rarely used the human sea tactics of siege cities. siege cities with ant support is the most primitive way of siege. In fact, simply put, it is to use human lives to pile up. This is why the losses of the siege party that has always suffered far greater than the siege party.

But since Cao Liang improved the catapult, the catapult has truly become the main force in siege. Any solid city collapsed under the repeated bombardment of the catapult.

Therefore, if a problem can be solved by machinery, there is no need to invest a lot of manpower. It is no longer an ideal, but a reality to attack the Bingzhou Army.

Sima Yong had never been in Jizhou, and he was not very clear about how powerful the Bingzhou Army's catapult was. In his feeling, the Bingzhou Army's catapult should be no big difference from the Sima Army's catapult. Isn't it just to smash the stones on the city wall?

In fact, there is no way to defend against the attack of the catapult. Hang some cooked cowhide on the city wall and soak it in water in advance. This can increase the toughness of the cowhide. When the stone hits the cowhide, it can buffer the impact of the stone and greatly reduce the damage of the stone.

In order to deal with the Bingzhou Army's catapult cart, Sima Yong did prepare a large amount of cowhide and soaked it in water in advance. When the Bingzhou Army launched the catapult cart array, he ordered people to hang the cowhide. Sima Yong believed that although these cowhides may not be able to withstand all the flying stones, at least a large part of it can be intercepted, so that the damage to the city wall can be minimized.

But when the stone bullets actually flew over, Sima Yong was completely confused. His previous thoughts were really wrong. When the stone bullets attacked by the Bingzhou Army, it was covered with dark clouds. The density of the stone bullets had reached an extremely terrifying level. Even if the Qingzhou Army hung more cowhides, it would be useless. Soon, all of the hanging cowhides were destroyed. The tattered cowhides were like broken flags, swaying in the wind on the top of the city, as if mocking Sima Yong's ignorance.

Sima Yong was originally standing on the top of the city to supervise the battle, but when he saw the scene of the rock bullet flying, he was frightened. The flying stone had no eyes. But no matter whether he was the governor of Qingzhou or not, anyone could be killed if he hit a rock. After all, even the most effective cowhide that defends the stone casting car could not stand it, and other defensive weapons were useless. Sima Yong did not dare to continue standing foolishly on the top of the city, and hurriedly evacuated to a safe area in a hurry.

The main generals evacuated, so the Qingzhou soldiers naturally refused to stand on the top of the city and were passively smashed. They ran away one by one, and fled from the top of the city in a panic.

Most of these Qingzhou soldiers were new soldiers with no practical experience. When they saw the fierce Bingzhou army, they were actually panicked. However, under Sima Yong's constraints, no one dared to leave the city easily. They could only stay there tremblingly and barely boost morale, but they were all in panic.

At this moment, it was scattered, not like evacuation, but more like escaping, running one by one, and hating their parents for giving them two less legs. The steps, which were not too wide, were crowded with people, bustling and chaotic. The army there was still an orderly place, and it was completely a group of headless flies.

Deng Ai did not wait until the city wall collapsed before the infantry attacked. Instead, he sent infantry to set up a ladder to attack Linzi's city.

Deng Ai naturally had his plan to attack the city in this way. Judging from the current siege efficiency, if you want to break through Qingzhou City, you have to use a catapult to smash for at least three or five days. Since the Battle of Jizhou, the city wall defense systems in various places have been strengthened, and Linzi City is of course no exception. Therefore, no matter how powerful the taxi of the Bingzhou Army is, it is impossible to collapse the city wall in one breath. It is necessary to continuously attack the city wall, and it takes a process to develop from quantitative change to qualitative change.

However, the Zuo Legion's march was relatively rapid this time. Although he brought enough throwing cars, the equipment of stone bombs may not be so complete. Moreover, they have now stayed away from the production base of Youzhou stone bombs, and the task of transporting stone bombs from a long distance has become arduous. After all, under the current transportation conditions, it is not easy to transport heavy stone bombs to Qingzhou in large quantities.

Therefore, using a catapult cart in Qingzhou cannot be used like before, and can squander the stone bombs transported from hundreds of miles away. If one is not enough, throw another one until the city wall of Xindu is smashed.

When you attack Qingzhou, you have to be more careful. After all, the stone bombs equipped with each stone car are limited. Once the stone bombs are used up, the stone car will be completely lost. Therefore, when Deng Ai attacked the city, he did not blindly rely on the stone cart and the infantry to attack in turn to achieve the goal of breaking the city as soon as possible.

The Qingzhou army was in great pain now. When the catapulted cart attacked, most of them had to escape from the flying stones. When the Bingzhou army infantry launched an attack, they had to climb the city again and fight fiercely with the Bingzhou army to prevent the Bingzhou army from climbing to the top of the city.

The Bingzhou Army has orders to change its attack methods, and it can be seamlessly connected. When the infantry advances to the city, the catapult cart has not stopped attacking. When the infantry launches siege battles, the catapult cart attack can instantly stop to avoid accidentally injuring one's own people.

However, it was impossible for the Qingzhou army to know when the Bingzhou army's catapult stopped attacking. Often, when the Bingzhou army infantry came to attack the city, they would hurry to climb the city and fight.

As long as the Bingzhou Army's infantry retreated, flying stones would follow one after another, causing another severe damage to the Qingzhou Army, which had no time to evacuate.

The Qingzhou army could only go back and forth, running around the city and under the city. Once the catapult cart was smashed, they had to evacuate quickly. Once the infantry arrived, they had to climb the city to block the attack. After a few moments, the Qingzhou army was exhausted and exhausted, and could not resist the offensive of the Bingzhou army.

This is exactly what Deng Ai is most clever. He did not want to launch an ant attack or cause too many casualties to the Bingzhou army. So Deng Ai adopted this frequent alternating attack strategy, allowing the Qingzhou army to continuously consume their physical strength while rushing back and forth, and completely drag down the Qingzhou army in this way.
