Chapter 2154: Too embarrassed to lose face
Otherwise, military orders would become a joke!
What prestige will Sun Pu have in the future?
Moreover, the morale had already been boosted, but it was dealt a heavy blow. It will be difficult to boost the morale again.
"Keep attacking the city! Even if we don't have ladders and catapults, with only 50,000 men, are you still afraid? Lin Zhuo, send someone to guard this place immediately and don't allow anyone to get close!"
"yes!"
They were quite receptive and put the blame on Shao Yunduan, believing that Shao Yunduan had used some despicable and insidious means to trick them.
The purpose is to stop them from attacking the city, right?
Humph, but is it possible?
Then let him see that even if he did all this, it would be in vain!
But this matter cannot be leaked, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army.
As for whether you are wondering why siege ladders and trebuchets are no longer used, forget it! It's strange, so just bear with it!
It is impossible to explain.
Anyway, the ordinary soldiers didn't dare to ask, and when the generals asked, he just didn't answer.
That morning, Sun Pu led his army to attack the city. The army was as dense as locusts, rushing forward shouting and charging like a raging torrent, with great momentum.
The dark weapons and the sharp blades shone with a chilling light in the sunlight.
However, the defenders of the Huaixi provincial capital, standing on the top of the city wall with stern expressions as if facing a formidable enemy, were a little confused: according to the intelligence obtained, the other side planned to storm the city with countless siege ladders and catapults, so how come there was not a single ladder or catapult to be seen?
Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?
Or does the other party have other tricks? ?
Zheng Sangge and Wu Guan, who were guarding the city, were also shocked! The two looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and suspicion: Are the descendants of the Sun family so foolish? Do they think attacking a city is a joke? ?
Sun Pu's troops swarmed in, carrying huge battering rams and trying to break down the city gate.
Everyone was covering and defending against this.
Without siege ladders and catapults, this siege seemed like a child's play.
Zheng Sangge was well prepared and had sufficient weapons on the city walls. He killed without mercy and took advantage of the terrain to be invincible.
Qiao Xuan was in the backyard of the government office, sipping tea and admiring the flowers in the garden, silently using her special abilities to keep an eye on the war outside the city.
She couldn't do it too obviously, but she could still do something quietly.
As a result, Sun Pu's army suffered a lot and made many jokes.
The soldiers carrying the battering ram fell down one after another, and the battering ram almost hit their feet. The defenders on the city wall almost died of laughter!
This farcical siege lasted less than an hour before it ended. Sun Pu's side retreated in embarrassment, leaving behind a mess and casualties.
There were 30,000 troops sent out to attack the city, and less than 2,000 were killed. However, morale was severely hit! Everyone was extremely depressed, as if they were performing a farce for the other side!
"Where are our ladders? Where are our trebuchets? Why aren't we using them?"
"Can a siege without ladders and catapults be called a siege? General, are you kidding me?"
"Cowardly! How cowardly! Do they know how to command a battle?"
"I've never fought such a frustrating battle!"
"What kind of siege is this? This is a joke! The people above are really inhuman!"
