Signing the army and civilians were originally sacrifices for this war, and the flesh and blood fuel for the main army to advance. If they do not die, how can the army advance smoothly?

As for how many they died, what is worth paying attention to?

Death at any time and arrest at any time. There are not many other places on this land, and there are a lot of people.

They are illiterate and do not understand the truth, so if they sacrifice them, they can be exchanged for victory, so why not do it?

Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Benji, who were behind, observed the city defense strength of the Restoration Army by offering sacrifices to these tragic people, and found that their city defense strength was very strong and the launch frequency of long-range strike weapons was quite high.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the thief army is well-trained. If our army launches a strong attack on all sides, the losses may be difficult to limit."

Wanyan Benji persuaded Wanyan Liang again not to siege him, but Wanyan Liang didn't care.

"How many troops can a city have? Besides, if it weren't for siege, why do we bring so many siege equipment? This van is three meters high, heavy and expensive, and it consumes a lot, even if it is too expensive. If it weren't for siege, what's the use for it?"

Wanyan Liang looked at Wanyan Ben with displeasure and said, "The old general should not always be ambitious. The army of the Great Jin Kingdom is the strongest. The bandit army is also a bandit army after all. It is just a harsh person on the inside. It is not worth worrying at all! Attacking the city!"

Wanyan Liang didn't listen to the advice, and Wanyan had no choice but to force his objection. He didn't dare to object, so he could only give orders to attack the city, so that the real main siege troops could be prepared.

When this trapped area is filled, the main force of the army will cross this trap area and start an action on the moat.

Before this, with the blood and tears of the signing troops, the Jin army also pushed the catapult and crossbows into the siege range and began to attack.

They also attacked Hejian City with big arrows and stones.

The sharp arrow pierced the air and rushed towards the city. Some hit the city wall and were bounced out. Some were directly embedded in the city wall because of the positive angle and strong force. Some attacked the city wall, posing a certain threat to the Restoration Army.

In contrast, the threat of trenchers is greater. Huge stones fell outside the city wall like raindrops, and there was also Hejian City inside the city wall. While bringing casualties to the defenders, it also brought some blows to the city, causing buildings close to the city wall to be damaged.

The loud noise shocked the hearts of the people in the city. The ordinary people who had never experienced the siege were hiding in a safe place. Listening to the rumbling sound, they were indeed afraid in their hearts.

One of the tasks of instructor Wu Anxiang is to soothe people in wartime and mobilize people in the city who have not become reserve troops to support the frontline operations.

They can do things within their power.

For example, when it is cold and there is insufficient winter clothes reserved, they can sew thick clothes, shoes, socks, and hoods, or clean clothes for the frontline soldiers and dry clothes. In addition, they can help the Huotou Army cook and cook so that the frontline soldiers can eat and eat hot.

Everyone has their own things to do, and as long as they can still act, they can contribute to defending the city.

As the second-in-command of the Urban Defense Command, Wu Anxiang’s task is to sit in the city, soothe people’s hearts, and organize people to support the frontlines.

The importance of these things is no less than the frontal battlefield of the city defense.

He wandered between every construction site, inspected the work status of the people in every place, solved the problem, and when there were no problems, his posture of wearing military uniforms and patrolling people can also bring a sense of security to the people in the city.

As long as he is still patrolling and as long as his body is still standing, Hejian City will be as stable as Mount Tai. Many Hejian residents think so.

The original wealthy and noble families in the city basically went to Shandong to take refuge with Su Yonglin's retreat south, and those who were left were ordinary people.

These large families who entered the city had more opinions than those landlords and gentry. They knew that it would be difficult not to exist as cannon fodder once a war broke out, so no matter whether they were willing to go to Su Yonglin for office, they would take refuge in safe places in Shandong first.

The house at home was blocked and the door was blocked. You could either take away valuable things or dig a hole to bury them if you couldn't take them away. Anyway, you would never make any contribution to Su Yonglin.

When the war is over and then come back, they will still be the master of this land.

Funders still need them to govern the country.

But this is good, without their existence, it will save some trouble.

At present, except for some elderly people and too young babies in the entire Hejian City, there is no stupid thing to stay and not work. Everyone is working, everyone has their own things to do, and everyone is trying to guard this city of life.

If Hejian City is saved, their lives will be saved. If Hejian City cannot be saved, they will face death with the soldiers guarding the city.

The Jin soldiers outside the city were like wolves and tigers, and they had to believe that their soldiers could defeat these Jin soldiers like wolves and tigers.

The attacks of the Jin soldiers were as fierce as storms, and the counterattacks of the Liberation Army defenders on the top of the city were also very determined. A large amount of military supplies were transported to the city tower, and teams of brave soldiers carried the supplies to the soldiers fighting on the front line.

The bed crossbow shot out thick arrows one after another. The strong soldier roared and waved the sledgehammer in his hand, spraying his anger out with the arrows.

The soldiers who operated the catapult only regretted that they could not load more stones into the net bag, otherwise they would be able to kill the Jin soldiers and smash them into pools of meat paste.

During the advance, the Jin army was hit fiercely and effectively by the Liberation Army and suffered great losses, but this did not stop the Jin army from advancing.

Due to the advantage of the number of Jin soldiers and their unhuman rights, a large number of signing soldiers were thrown on the front line. Their flesh-and-blooded road led to the moat, and the regular army of the Jin army finally dispatched.

The regular army is not as sloppy as the signing army. The shield cannot defend against huge stones and thick arrows. It requires the same war equipment to be used to defend against it.

Mu Man, Linchong Lu Gongbu, Chain, Dingche and other war equipment were fully launched, and densely packed infantry followed behind.

The one who rushed in the front was undoubtedly the trench bridge vehicle, which was a war equipment targeting the moat.

The moat of the big city is not a small ditch outside the small county town. It is a real river, with a width of several meters or even dozens of meters. It is definitely not something that can be passed by swimming, but it is a huge obstacle in front of the siege troops.

Even if it freezes in winter, there will be many ways for the guard to do so.

Either sprinkle salt to relieve the ice, or send people to set up a boat to chisel ice, or pour in some lime to increase the temperature of the river water.

Even if it is frozen, if the weather is not very cold and the ice layer is not very thick, it is better to keep it than not. The siege will have to worry that too many people will walk up and break the ice surface.

However, this winter is very cold. According to locals, the freezing will be more thorough, so Jiang Liangping simply sent someone to drain the water from the moat in advance, leaving only a huge trap as an obstacle to the Jin army's road ahead.

In order to further increase the obstacles, Jiang Liangping also placed many broken spear heads and sharpened wooden sticks at the bottom of the pit.

The defending party has ways to make the moat work, and the siege party has more ways to deal with it.

As the saying goes, the devil is one foot taller and the road is one foot taller. If there are obstacles, there will be solutions to countermeasures. Ancient craftsmen designed many kinds of equipment to deal with moats, the most effective one is the trench bridge.

This kind of equipment appeared during the Warring States Period.

By the Tang Dynasty, the thunder bridge began to use folding bridge decks to deal with the wider and wider moat.

In the Song Dynasty, wheels were installed on the trench bridge and became trench bridge vehicles, which strengthened the mobility of the trench bridge.

The trench bridge is expensive and has a large body. Its bearing bridge is 100 feet wide. If eight are used at a time, it can provide a smooth road up to 12 feet wide for troops to pass through.

This temporary bridge can also be built on the ceiling, which can protect the crossing forces from being attacked by fire to a certain extent and protect soldiers from safely reaching the other side of the moat through the trench bridge.

This is prepared for soldiers, but siege equipment cannot pass through such bridges. Therefore, if the siege has huge siege equipment, the soldiers need to carry soil to fill the river and solve the moat, so that the huge siege equipment can cross the moat and directly attack the city wall.
