Year 19 looked at the people in the tent and said in a low voice, "Everyone, you've all seen it today. It seems like the other party won't come out no matter what. A scolding session has actually turned into a farce. What are your thoughts? Speak."
Everyone was silent. They had seen the situation today. To be honest, they didn't have any good ideas right now. However, they also knew that this scolding was useless. They didn't know if it would affect their morale if the other side scolded them.
Year 119 looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, let's talk. In any case, we don't have any way to attack the city. Does anyone have any ideas to attack the morale of the city?"
Everyone remained silent. It wasn't easy to attack the city's soldiers. Scolding wasn't effective. There weren't many methods that they could use. The most they could do was to train outside the city and let the city's soldiers see how strong they were. This was a common tactic used to attack a city. However, this method wouldn't work on the people inside the city.
Stone Hammer and the others sat there and didn't say anything. They didn't want to say anything in this meeting. They only brought their ears and not their mouths. They didn't want to say anything.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Year 119's face couldn't help but turn ugly. Then he said, "Does everyone have any ideas? Do we just want to see the people in the city being proud? "
Still, no one said anything. Nineteen's face turned even darker as a general of a city-state spoke up, "Alliance Master, can we act? In my hometown, everyone loves to watch plays. We can find someone to pretend to be a soldier of Nanhua City-State and play with him. Let's see how he reacts."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. They felt that this method was good. Year 119 nodded and said, "This method is very good. Go back and prepare. We'll try it tomorrow." The general nodded.
Year One Nine looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "Does anyone have any other ideas?"
This time, everyone was lively. All kinds of ideas came out one after another. However, most of them weren't very reliable. However, the atmosphere became better. Only Stone Hammer and the others remained silent.
Nineteen chatted with everyone for a while and decided on a few plans. Then, he let everyone go back. After Stonehammer and the others returned to their own camp, they went to rest. They had already said what they needed to say, so there was no need to say anything else.
The next morning, Stonehammer and the others were still doing what they were doing. They were constantly reinforcing the camp while watching the show. On January 19, they really did what the general said yesterday. They found a few ugly soldiers and put them on the South Flower City's soldiers' uniforms to play around outside the city, using this as an excuse to humiliate the South Flower City's soldiers.
When the people of Nanhua City saw this, they were really angry. However, their reaction was beyond Year 119's expectations. They even invited a band to play on the city walls. It was as if they were playing music for the performance. This time, the performance changed. It didn't have any provocation in it. Instead, it was as if they came here to perform.
This time, Year One was so angry that he almost went to the battlefield himself. He pointed at the city wall and scolded. But in the end, he held it in and led everyone back to the main camp. Then, there was another meeting to discuss how to attack the enemy's morale. Everyone came up with a bunch of unreliable ideas, but Stonehammer and the others still didn't say anything.
When they returned to their own camp, Stone Hammer and the others went to his room. Shi Ye looked at Stone Hammer and said, "General Shi, if it were you, what would you do to change the current situation?"
Stone Hammer replied, "Do nothing. Actually, war doesn't have that many tricks, it's nothing more than fighting. In this kind of terrain, you can't use any tricks. Therefore, it's best to do nothing. Actually, the simplest method is often the best method. Look at Year 119, did he make the soldiers train outside the Nanhua Gate? They only want to use tricks to deal with the people on the city walls, but they don't even use the simplest and most common moves. In fact, the simplest moves are the most effective and also the most difficult to break. "
Shi Ye stared and said, "General Shi, what you mean is that the best way to deal with the situation is to have the soldiers train outside the Nanhua Gate? Isn't this too common? "
Stone Hammer replied, "The more common it is, the harder it is to break it. This method has been used for many years. Naturally, there's a reason why it's still being used. How can the enemy break this method? Can they play music on the city walls like today? Isn't that just adding to the fun for the army? "
Shi Ye nodded, then he looked at Stone Hammer and said, "General Shi, what about us? Are we still going to reinforce the camp every day and do nothing? "
Stone Hammer shook his head and said, "No, the camp is almost done, there's no need to reinforce it. Yesterday was the last day to reinforce the camp. Then we started to train outside the camp every day, there's no need to go to the Nanhua Gate. In any case, this battle has nothing to do with us, so there's no need for us to join in the fun. However, we can't stop training."
Shi Ye nodded, then he said, "Alright, then let's prepare." Then the group returned to their tents.
On the second day, they continued to fortify their camp. Today was the last day, and they didn't stay idle. They were still thinking of some evil ways to fight with the people of Nanhua City-State.
The day passed very peacefully. At night, there was still a meeting. This made Stone Hammer and the others a little annoyed. The meeting didn't have any content, it was just to think about how to attack the morale of the Nanhua City-State. Actually, at this point, there was no need to do this. However, Year 19 seemed to have fallen into a vicious cycle. He wanted to use this method to defeat the Nanhua City-State, but he didn't succeed even once.
The next day, Stone Hammer and the others began to train. They didn't go too far, they just trained outside the camp. The sounds of training and the sounds of killing made the people in the city turn their heads.
When Year 19 saw Stone Hammer and the others training, the city became silent. He couldn't help but stare. Then he understood that the Nanhua City-State had no way to deal with this. This made Year 19's face turn pale.
If this method was thought of by him or one of the city-states that were close to him, then Nineteen would be very happy. However, this method was thought of by Stonehammer and the others. Moreover, this method was the most common and common method, but he didn't use it. Now that Stonehammer and the others used it, and the results were very good, how could Nineteen not be angry?
That night, he didn't even have a meeting. The next day, he had the army begin to train outside the Nanhua City-State. This time, the Nanhua City-State had no way to deal with this. But even so, Year 19 wasn't happy at all.
At this time, the construction of the siege weapons began. This made Year 19's expression a little better. In the following ten days, the two sides remained in this state. The Nanhua City-State didn't attack Year 19's army, and Year 19's army also didn't attack. They just continued to train and build the siege weapons.
Ten days later, the siege weapons were almost finished. Year 19 finally decided to attack. That night, he gathered all the generals in the tent. Year 19 sat on the general's seat as he looked at the people and said, "Everyone should know that the siege weapons are finished. I'm preparing to attack the South Flower Gate tomorrow. Does anyone have any opinions?" Year 19 nodded and said, "I'm going to attack the South Flower Gate tomorrow.
Everyone replied in unison, "We're willing to listen to the Alliance Lord's orders!"
Year 19 nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good, tomorrow morning in the camp, prepare food at four o 'clock. Let the soldiers eat their fill. Then prepare to attack at six o' clock!" Everyone replied in unison.
Year 19 turned his head to look at Stone Hammer and the others, then he said, "There's no need for the vanguard to train tomorrow. Because the war is about to begin, if you train, it will affect the army."
Stone Hammer naturally knew that Year 19 was suppressing them. He pretended to be pale and didn't say anything. Then Year 19 began to distribute the troops.
Besieging a city was different from ordinary battles. Besieging a city was done in batches. Besieging a city required continuous attacks. Once a batch of people went up and failed to take down the city walls, they would have to retreat. Then, the next batch of people would attack. If they didn't succeed this time, the next batch would be replaced.
The purpose of this meeting was to be divided into batches. Who would be the first batch to attack, who would be the second batch to attack, and who would be the third batch to attack? All of these had to be divided properly. Of course, this had nothing to do with Stone Hammer and the others.
Stone Hammer and the others were still the same as before. After attending the meeting, they returned to their own camp. When they arrived at the camp, Stone Hammer called Shi Ye and the others into the tent. Then he let out a long breath and said, "It's finally going to open. Now that the front is open, there's nothing for us to do. However, we can't stay idle. Tomorrow, I'll send some people to Mount Zhuhua to see if they can find a way to pass through it. Does anyone have any opinions?"
Shi Ye and the others shook their heads. Then Shi Ye said, "Who should we send? I'm afraid ordinary soldiers won't be able to do it. "
Stone Hammer nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll send the Sky Dance Realm experts from our army. You don't need to worry about this, just prepare your defenses. I'm worried that the Nanhua City-State will send experts to attack us. This time, the other party might send Sky Dance Realm experts. At that time, the safety of the camp will depend on you. Although several Ancestors are present, they can't act at will. Otherwise, the Sacred Institute's River Break Realm Ancestors will also act. In that case, the war will completely change and the consequences will be unmanageable.
If that happens, then the situation would become very bad. "Shi Ye quickly said," General Shi, let our Sky Dance Realm experts go and scout. You can leave some people to guard the camp. "
Stone Hammer shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to use your Sky Dance Realm experts. I'm just afraid that they won't be able to perform reconnaissance. Reconnaissance also requires a lot of knowledge. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but in terms of reconnaissance, I'm not as good as them. They have received specialized training, so I think it's better to leave it to them."
When Shi Ye heard Stone Hammer, he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave it to General Shi."
Stone Hammer said, "We'll stay in the camp tomorrow and watch the show. I want to see Year 19's offensive capabilities. I want to see how they will take down the Nanhua Gate. Everyone, go back and rest early." The group nodded, then they turned around and left.
The next morning, everyone got up early and had their breakfast. Then Stone Hammer released the people he sent out to scout. At the same time, the people in the camp also had their breakfast and were preparing to attack the Nanhua Gate.
It was already 9 o 'clock in the morning when the army left the camp and lined up. This was already considered fast. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The reason why they could line up in such a short time was because they were all elites. If they weren't, they would have to wait until noon to line up.
War was never a game, especially in a war like this. Every step must be taken correctly. There was a formation for attack, a formation for defense, a formation for siege, and a formation for retreat. This wasn't something that could be messed up. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers needed a lot of time to line up. From 6 o 'clock to 9 o' clock, it took three hours to line up. This wasn't an easy thing to do.
After the formation was set, the attack officially began. First, the ballistas went forward and began to shoot arrows at the city walls. At the same time, the ballistas on the city walls began to retaliate. The battle between the two sides officially began.
Both sides continued to rain arrows on each other. Casualties were inevitable, but this was also normal. However, the defenders of the South Hua Gate were soon suppressed by the defenders of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. After all, the number of defenders of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was greater than the number of defenders of the South Hua Gate. Therefore, it was natural for them to suppress the defenders.
Seeing that the other side's ballistas were suppressed, Year 191 waved his hand and had someone push a trebuchet forward. The distance of the trebuchet was closer than the range of the ballistas. Therefore, after the ballistas were suppressed, the trebuchet could move forward. Otherwise, if the other side suddenly launched a volley of arrows, then the trebuchet would be destroyed.
After the trebuchet moved forward, it immediately began to shoot stone balls towards the Nanhua Gate. Some people thought that since the trebuchet was a trebuchet, then it would certainly throw stones. However, this wasn't true. The best stones that the trebuchet could throw were stone balls. This was because stone balls could be thrown the furthest and had the highest accuracy. At the same time, stone balls could also bounce very far. Because of this, stone balls were the best choice.
Under the suppression of the trebuchet and ballistas, the city didn't have any chance to fight back. At the same time, the people on the city walls couldn't be seen. Upon seeing this situation, Year 191 immediately waved his hand and had 2000 infantry rush out. They pushed siege towers and battering rams towards the city walls. While they were moving forward, the ballistas and trebuchet didn't stop.
