As the war drums were beaten, a large group of people began to rush towards Luzhou City.
The ladder that had been prepared long ago was carried by several people and quickly went up to the city. When it reached the foot of the city, it was set up, and then someone started to climb up quickly with a shield.
Siege battles have always been extremely brutal. Compared to the fierce fighting in team battles, siege battles are often even more brutal.
Stones were constantly thrown down from the top of the wall, as well as countless rolling logs, boiling water and golden soup.
For a moment, shouts and screams shook the sky.
Sun Chuanting watched expressionlessly as teams of soldiers rushed forward, watched people fall from his head, watched people being shot to death by arrows, and watched them fall to the ground and never move again.
As if everything around him had nothing to do with him, Sun Chuanting kept observing his surroundings.
In Qi Yuangong's view, such a war was completely inconsistent with the ideas he had learned.
This is too cruel and too inefficient, and it is using human lives to fill it. But it seems that Sun Chuanting thinks this is a good idea.
While Qi Yuangong was pondering, Sun Chuanting suddenly said, "The people in front have retreated, but I haven't called off the troops yet. Kill them."
After hearing what Sun Chuanting said, Qi Yuangong came back to his senses. He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction Sun Chuanting mentioned. Sure enough, there were dozens of people running back.
Their faces were covered in blood, and they looked extremely panicked. Qi Yuangong recognized them by looking at their attire and appearance. These people were probably Liao Sanniang's men, meaning they were originally bandits.
As expected, these bandits are useless. Qi Yuangong raised his hand and then waved it down gently.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Gunshots rang out and white smoke rose instantly.
Those who had just run back were instantly covered in blood, and then they all fell to the ground, no longer making any sound.
Sun Chuanting turned his head and said gently, "Add another 3,000 people."
"Yes, sir." Zhang Hu agreed and went to pass on the order.
"Sir, isn't this too great a loss?" Qi Yuangong looked at Sun Chuanting and said.
The battle had only just begun, but already, a large number of corpses were piled up outside Luzhou City. If the fighting continued at this rate, the death toll would likely be even higher. Even if Luzhou City was taken, half of the troops would be killed.
Sun Chuanting was unconcerned. He said, "There have been many fierce battles. This is nothing. If we can't even take this place, how can we fight in the future? What's the use of these people?"
"I don't have the time or the energy to teach them drills in detail, so let them learn the drills on the battlefield. Those who survive will be rewarded for their merits; those who don't will be considered as atonement for their past sins."
"Don't have any sympathy for them. I've already given them a chance to live. Otherwise, these people would have been wiped out when we came here. Have you forgotten that you wanted to kill them?"
Qi Yuangong smiled bitterly.
Can it be the same?
When he wanted to kill these people, they were not his own people and had nothing to do with him. They were enemies.
It seems that I have misjudged this young Lord Sun. I originally thought that this young Lord Sun was just an ordinary civil servant who was good at training soldiers and willing to recruit some messy people.
Now that I think about it, that's not the case at all. With that temper and that ruthless heart, I can't afford to offend him.
The rebels on the city wall were not having a good time either. The Ming army surged up like a tide, rushing forward recklessly, and killing people in a frenzy, catching the rebels on the city wall off guard.
Neither She Yin nor Fan Hu had expected the Ming army to be so brave.
However, the two soon found out the reason, and those who retreated and hesitated were all killed by the Ming army themselves. The supervisory team was very ruthless and did not give anyone a chance to survive.
After seeing the scene of the brutal execution, both She Yin and Fan Hu gasped.
She Yin no longer sought a counterattack, but only hoped to hold on to Luzhou City. Judging from the current situation, it would not be easy to hold on to Luzhou City.
Turning to look at Fan Hu, She Yin said, "General Fan, you take your men and go, you must defeat the Ming army and not let them climb onto the city wall again."
Fan Hu nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
After saying that, he led his men to the top of the city wall with knives in hand.
The fighting was still fierce. The Ming army rushed up in batches, climbing up like ants and beating against the city walls like a tide. Although they were suppressed several times, they would soon rush up again.
Standing at the front of the crowd, Sun Chuanting glanced at the top of the city wall and then at the sky.
