It's dawn.

The sudden increase in the account was promoted, and the chiefs and leaders of various departments gathered together. Last night, the children all had a night of rest, and today they were all fierce. The only disadvantage was that the people who went out to hunt the grass valley yesterday returned in vain.

Now everyone has rested and is eager to capture Mayi early, not only to avenge Li Jing’s blood, but also to the food and grass in Mayi City. I heard that Li Jing had saved a lot of food and grass in Mayi City. There, Yuan Junzhang’s base camp, and several times invaded the south, many of the money, grain, gold and silver that had been looted were piled up there, but now it is a bargain. They are eager to seize Mayi City and make up for the losses they have suffered these days.

Tuli sat there, listening to the group of people in the tent whispering there, and the group of discussions were messy, and he felt a little dissatisfied. These guys did not have any rules and politeness, and they did not look like they were discussing matters.

"Khan, please order the siege, what are you waiting for?"

A guy finally couldn't help but shouted loudly.

The man's beginning attracted a group of people to respond, all shouting to attack the city.

If he hadn't seen Sogdian businessman Sabao Shijian yesterday, Tuli planned to start siegeing the city early this morning. But after talking to Shijian yesterday, he had other plans in his mind. The tall and sturdy city of Mayi was beyond Tuli's surprise.

The Mayi guarded by Li Jing was like a turtle with a thick shell. If Li Jing was combined with the cunning and cruelty of this person, Mayi was more like a big hedgehog, which made Tuli feel like he couldn't get down.

Mayi is located at the southern end of Yunshuo. The two states of Yunshuo are a large basin connected to the north of Dai. The place is very wide. If you fight outside the city, such a large basin is most suitable for cavalry to be deployed. Unfortunately, Li Jing is a cunning guy. He huddled in the strongest fortress on the Yunshuo grassland and did not come out.

But he didn't completely believe what Shi Jian said.

He sent a spy south to collect information, but it was impossible to confirm Shi Jian's identity for a while. Therefore, he sent a light cavalry of hundreds of people south overnight yesterday to Loufanguan.

"Khan, what are you waiting for?"

The leaders were still shouting.

Tuli's mind was a little confused, and he wanted to wait for news from the south.

But it seems that it is not a big deal to wait here. Judging from everyone's eagerness to ask for war, it is difficult for Chuli to reject their request.

But even if you have to fight, you can't fight now.

There is a moat moat in Mayi. Although there is no water in the trenches, the trenches are full of tilted stakes. The city wall is more than four meters high, and there are many arrow towers, crossbows, stone throwing chariots on it.

The Tang army has always had many archers.

If they want to attack, their cavalry has no advantage and cannot rush to the top of the city.

We have to build a ladder, a trench ladder, and a siege ram. We have no experience in these things.

There are wars in the grassland, but there are never these things. They lead cavalry duels. There may be sneak attacks and ambushes, but there will never be sieges and city defenses.

Tuli wanted to make some siege equipment, but most Turks or Khitans would not. Li Jing's strategy of firming the walls and clearing the wilderness was too clean, so they could not catch any Han craftsmen or the like.

More advanced siege cloud cars, watchtowers and other things can't be built, so I'd better build some cloud ladders first. Tuli thinks this should not be difficult.

Now I talked about my plan. First build a siege ladder, etc., and after I have built a certain number, I will start siege. As for stone throwing cars, siege cars, arrow towers, etc., no one can build them, so let it go.

Teams of Turkic people rode out of the camp to cut down trees, then dragged them back with horses, and gestured to start making cloud ladders. Although cloud ladders seemed to be the least technical siege equipment, they did not mean that they could make good ones.

Many Turks were struggling there for a long time, but they were unable to build a qualified ladder.

It’s either the length is not enough, it’s not strong, or it’s too heavy. Some guys have built a ladder that is enough, but it’s too heavy, and it’s so heavy that it’s dozens of times.

A cloud ladder made them siege rams.

Li Jing stood on the city tower, holding the thousand-mile mirror given by Li Chao, and looked at the movements of the Turks outside the city. After watching for a long time, the more he looked, the more he became more and more funny.

"The Turkic barbarians are all that's right."

Several subordinates borrowed Qianlijing to see it, and couldn't help but laugh.

With this ability, I want to attack Mayi City?

"General, are these Turks here to make fun of it, right?"

Siege is not as good as robbery.

Siege is a systematic knowledge, especially when attacking a strong city guarded by elite soldiers, it becomes more and more difficult. Tuli is completely an outsider in the siege battle. For him and his subordinates, surrounding Mayi City is as hard to tell the truth as surrounding a hedgehog.

Li Jing smiled and said to his subordinates, "If you come to attack Mayi City, how will you deploy? How to arrange troops, where to use the breakthrough point, and what tactics should be used? Anyway, it's raining to beat the children, and we're idle, so why not discuss it?"

Someone immediately said, "To attack the city, of course, you must first have siege equipment. You should first build siege equipment. You should build siege equipment. Making cloud ladders, arrow towers, rushing cars, cloud towers, and large wooden shields and catapults. It is best to build more crossbows. Then sweep the periphery and fill the trenches!"

Someone continued, "With a catapult cart, it is best to throw fireballs and huge rocks into the city, and it will make people panic. If they can burn their food and equipment, this is the best."

"Using crossbows and stone-throwing chariots as cover, the cavalry also cooperated to escort the infantry to the top of the city and launched an attack everywhere, allowing the defenders to divide their troops and defend. The attacking party has sufficient troops and can launch an attack on all sides at the same time. In this way, the defenders will be able to defend all sides and have weak defense forces. With the cooperation of the crossbows, select elite soldiers who dare to fight to attack the city. As long as they rush to the top of the city and seize a position, the strong Mayi City will have a huge flaw and will be difficult to defend."

What Li Jing Fu was talking about and what his subordinates said were all in a normal way. Although it was not very outstanding, it was also the correct way to attack the city.

Generally speaking, as long as the defense party does not lack food, grass and equipment and has enough troops, it is really no problem to hold on for one or two years. When the Tang army attacked Luoyang, they were besieged for a long time and could not be stopped.

The last besiege of Luoyang was more than a year. In the end, they defeated Dou Jiande, the reinforcements of Luoyang, and Wang Shichong was exhausted and became an isolated city without hope. Only then did they open the city to surrender. If they did not surrender, they could hold on for a long time.

The siege battle is the most tragic and lasting battle.

Many times, it is so tragic that the siege side collapses first.
