"Hahaha" Kave was relieved when he heard his subordinate's report and laughed happily.

Chalibig offered a timely praise, "Congratulations to Baron Cave, for repelling the enemy's attack, we will no longer have to worry about it."

After hearing this, Cave was even more happy and said, "Haha, that's right, as long as the lord's business city is here, you don't have to worry. It's the safest place in the lord's castle."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Kev, I must remember the help you gave me," Antinfech praised timidly.

He saw that his neighbors in the east got a lot of benefits because he had a few flatteries, and he also wanted to try it because it was really difficult for him.

Antinfech is the only city to be destroyed by the walls on all sides, he is also the only lord who has been captured by the enemy and has already died.

It's hard to live normally. Now he doesn't have to think about what his territory is like. How can he live in the future

So he tried it and tried it out if he could get some benefits, and he didn't want to feel the feeling of hunger.

Immediately afterwards, there were many lords who thought like Antinfech.

"His Excellency Kef is wise and powerful" is Lanslain's praise.

"Baron Cave should be the viscount after this time." This is Lily Bill's praise. Although she has a baron husband, she also wants to get help from herself.

In the end, even Quill and Mike praised Cave.

For a moment, Kev was the center of this hall and the protagonist of this party

Cave responded one by one with a laugh. He seemed to have seen the moment he was upgraded to a viscount.

"Staff General Lu, have our army's ammunition supply sufficient?" Di Qing asked Lu Su.

After Di Qing ordered the retreat and set up camp, he kept thinking about how to break through the city in front of him.

When I asked this, it was already that night, Di Qing was sitting on the seat of the newly established camp owner's tent.

The reason he asked this was that he had already thought about how to break the city

"General, please rest assured about logistics supply. The militia in the rear are transporting ammunition supplies continuously." Lu Su sat in the first position at the bottom left. After hearing Di Qing's question, he stood up and replied with his fists.

Zhang Wei sat in the lower right corner of Di Qing, and he also wanted to hear what Di Qing had to do to break the city.

Di Qing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I will talk about how to break through the enemy city."

As he said that, he also looked around the many officers present below, "It's very simple, that is, flood the enemy city with shells."

It is said to be submerged, but it is not so exaggerated. Everyone understands Di Qing’s meaning. His meaning is to use artillery to bombard the enemy city, and he will not stop until he collapses.

Di Qing actually thought of rushing in through the enemy's city gate, snatching the city wall with infantry, and then eroding the city step by step, but in this way, the infantry's casualties will inevitably be very large, which is not in line with the direction of Xia's army establishment.

This traditional siege method is suitable for situations where the technology difference between the two armies is not very different.

If Xia State had not had the artillery as a killer, perhaps there would be many more catapults, rushing cars, ladders, and well railings in the military camps nowadays. Although the siege equipment in the cold weapon era is still very advanced when placed in this place, it would be

Since he has the advantage of technology, for unnecessary casualties, Di Qing chose this time-consuming and life-consuming tactic.

There are very few soldiers in Xia Kingdom, with only more than 8,000. These soldiers who can be called soldiers are professional professional soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those of militia who have undergone some basic training.

Although these professional soldiers are not afraid of head-on battles at all, since our side has such a big advantage, why should we give up our strengths?

Just like cavalry, the existing cavalry in Xia State only plays a role in replenishing the army, not a single army. According to the army's military system, cavalry is actually only a secondary army.

But even so, in order to maximize the practical power in his hands, Di Qing raised all the cavalry individually, and Zhang Wei, the brigade, would lead this separate cavalry unit.

Di Qing asked Zhang Wei to command the cavalry, not only because Zhang Wei, the major general, had nowhere to be placed, but more so to exert the small combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Whether it is restraining, harassing, chasing, the role of cavalry alone is very important.

In this case, we can see the huge difference between an ordinary general and these famous generals.

Ordinary generals use the power in their hands step by step, and famous generals like Di Qing will use the power in their hands to liven up.

The infantry brigade is not that simple and only uses infantry, and the guard brigade is not that simple and only has to defend.

Even the commander of the First Army can become a force in his own hands

The soldiers of Xia Kingdom, who had been repairing for a night, came to the outside of the Shangdao City in high spirits and arranged troops one kilometer away from the city.

All the artillery were pulled out and two rows of artillery positions were arranged in front of the entire army.

All field artillery were filled with flowering bullets, while siege guns were filled with solid bullets.

Amid the familiar fire orders, they all launched a bombardment inside and outside the walls of Shangdao City.

Field artillery attacks the city head and inside the city, and the main attacks are the enemy soldiers; siege artillery bombards the city walls, and the two have clear division of labor and cooperate with each other to break through the enemy city.

Because there were orders in advance, today's bombardment did not need to be too fast, so all artillery fired at a fixed frequency.

It is precisely because of this that the cannon can only be cooled down and cooled in time after each fire, and it can continue to attack for a long time.

Unlike in the field, we try our best to speed up the firing rate. Although it has a strong firepower strike in a short period of time, it will not last long and will cool down for a long time.

But don't underestimate the power of black gunpowder. The temperature of black gunpowder can instantly reach more than one thousand degrees Celsius, and the volume of gas produced by combustion can expand to nearly ten thousand times the original volume.

Although it is not as powerful as Thenti, it cannot be underestimated.

Di Qing ordered field artillery to attack the soldiers on the city wall, and another purpose was to drive the enemy troops on the enemy's city wall off the city wall so that he could get the artillery close to the city wall.

When you get closer, you just drill a hole to fill the gunpowder and ignite it again. Finally, with a loud sound, a section of the city wall flew into the sky, and the rest was easy to deal with.

This goal is just Di Qing's backup plan, and he still expects the powerful siege artillery to exert great power.

After two days of siege, there was no trace of the enemy on the city wall, and the siege artillery did not disappoint Di Qing.

After thirty-six siege artillery attacked a section of the city wall, the solid city wall could not withstand such high-intensity bombardment and collapsed.

Siege cannons use their power to let the world know that its name is not random. It lives up to the name of "siege"
