Chapter 730: Siege!
Chapter 730
The iron cavalry of Uszang used very heavy, thick plate armor, and the plate armor of the white male soldiers was particularly strong and heavy, and not only that, but all the white male soldiers had the largest number of strong inscriptions attached to their armor.
This is also the reason why they were able to fight with the Makrumu Legion of the Great Food Empire back then!
Whoa!
On the city wall, Wang Chong's people chose restraint, but the Wusi Tibetan white male soldiers outside the city wall chose the opposite strategy. With a piercing roar, thousands of dense arrows rained down like a tide, whistling and shooting towards the people at the head of the city.
At that moment, the void seemed to be torn apart.
Seeing the long empty marks dragged out behind those arrows, even Bai Siling's face changed slightly.
"Be careful!"
"Stay out of the way!"
......
Bursts of high-pitched roars sounded from all over the city, and all the masters of the family, including Bai Siling and Zhao Hongying, chose to dodge.
The power contained in those arrows was so powerful that even they were not sure that they could resist it.
At this moment, the only one who is still standing at the head of the city, not dodging or dodging, and being exposed to the rain of arrows, is only Wang Chong. His expression was calm, and there was not the slightest change in his face.
Rumble!
Hundreds of arrows pierced through the Golden Rift Mountain, bursting in from all directions, covering Wang Chong's entire body. However, these arrows were still a few feet away, and they were frozen in the air, motionless.
Hum, Wang Chong's eyes blinked, and a terrible cold light flashed faintly in the darkness, and in an instant, in all directions, densely packed, all the long arrows were swirled by an invisible force, and they were smashed with a bang, and they fell to the ground one after another.
At that moment, even the roars of the white male soldiers outside the city were much dimmer. And at the head of the city, all the masters of the big clans, together with the guards at the head of the city, looked at Wang Chong with great admiration.
Wang Chong, who stood still in the rain of arrows in the sky, was like a god, setting people's hearts and becoming the backbone of everyone's hearts.
"Ready!"
"Raise the secondary wall!"
......
With a rolling sound, a thick, oblique steel plate soon rose from the city wall. As soon as the steel plates were raised, everyone was immediately protected.
It was also at this time, outside the city walls, that the second wave of attacks by the white male soldiers had arrived. In the gloomy night, I saw more than a dozen white male soldiers of Uszzang dragging a long, silver-white thing, and rushing towards the tall gate of the steel city like a meteor by the high-speed impact of the war horse.
"Be careful! It's a battering cone!"
A panicked cry rang out from the city walls.
At that moment, everyone could see clearly, the top of the silver-white thing was extremely sharp, and it was a sharp siege cone five or six zhang long.
The surface of the siege cone has many intricate silver-white patterns. For that kind of silver-white pattern, as long as it is a person in the army, it is a dense and countless sharp runes.
Everything inscribed with such sharp runes is a top-notch siege weapon, and even a steel gate several feet thick will be completely chiseled through.
"Boom!"
Before they had time to think about it, an earth-shattering bang sounded in everyone's ears, and at that moment, the entire steel city buzzed and trembled, as if it had been hit by a meteor.
Before the sound stopped, another rush of horses' hooves sounded outside the city, and the second silver-white siege cone from the Great Snow Mountain Temple came one after another like thunder and lightning.
Boom, followed by the second landslide-like sound ringing in everyone's ears.
"Master Hou!"
A voice came from his ears, and Su Shixuan looked at Wang Chong, his face extremely pale. If the other party's attack method is followed, the gates of the Steel City may not last long.
Although at the beginning, he, like Cheng Sanyuan, was puzzled by Wang Chong's decision to let them withdraw into the city, but at this time, even if he was sluggish, Su Shixuan could feel that this wave of enemies was different from the past, and it was by no means the same as the iron cavalry in any sense.
- because no cavalry would charge on the battlefield with such a battering cone.
This wave of enemies is even more powerful than expected, and they are very well prepared.
"Don't worry. No matter what siege weapons they used, they would never have been able to open the gates of the Iron City. ”
Wang Chong's voice was plain, neither high nor low, but it had a terrifying power.
The white male army was almost invincible in the field charge, at least the cavalry under his command alone could not stop it, but holding on to the city was another matter.
Wang Chong knew what Su Shixuan was worried about, but that kind of thing couldn't happen.
The gates of the Steel City were not ordinary steel at all, but the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron that Wang Chong had transported from overseas, no matter how many sharp runes were engraved on the siege cones used by the Bai Xiong soldiers, and no matter how great the power of the charge was, it would never be possible to break through the gates made of the Extraterrestrial Meteorite.
This kind of thing would never happen, not to mention that Wang Chong had engraved so many defensive runes and strong runes on the city gates.
"Wu Sizang is not engaged in production, it is impossible to forge something of this technical level, it seems that it can only come from the Great Snow Mountain Temple. ”
Wang Chong's mind was full of ups and downs, and Wu Sizang valued himself far more than he expected, but no matter what they wanted to do, they were destined to be unsuccessful.
The City of Steel is his own hard work, but also his own dream, in order to gain a foothold here, he has made sufficient preparations, even the famous white male soldiers of Uszambi will never be able to break through this city.
"Pass the order down and tell Xu Keyi that it's time to prepare!"
Wang Chong said.
"Yes, Master Hou!"
A herald quickly responded.
Outside the steel city, the attack of the white male soldiers was far from over, boom, boom, boom, the silver-white siege cone hit one after another, fiercely slamming into the tall city gate.
At the same time, only a tinkling metal crunch was heard, and under the high city wall, long five-claw hooks were thrown up, hooking the edge of the city wall.
"Up!"
With a roar, hundreds of white male soldiers leaped up from their horses, grabbed the rope in their right hand, and climbed towards the city head with the help of the five claws on the city wall.
"Everyone, come with me, stop them!"
Su Shixuan's face changed suddenly, he suddenly pulled out the long sword on his body, and was the first to walk out from under the secondary wall that blocked the rain of arrows, and rushed towards those five-clawed hooks.
On the other side, the other people with full body armor also rushed out.
Those people outside the city, each of them is extremely powerful, if they are allowed to use the hook to climb over the city wall and open the gates of the steel city, then the more than 100,000 craftsmen in the entire city will be exposed to their iron hooves.
The City of Steel will suffer heavy casualties!
With a bang, a long sword slashed at the five-clawed hooks, splitting these five-clawed hooks into two. Losing these five-clawed hooks, a white male soldier fell downward.
However, before they fell to the ground, these white male soldiers flicked their right hands, and one by one they scratched their hooks with five claws, hooking the head of the city. These white soldiers immediately accelerated towards the city......
"Mr. Zhang!"
Just when the attack of the Wusi Tibetans was at its most intense, Wang Chong glanced at the dense Wusi Tibetan white male soldiers who had rushed to the city wall, and suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Shouzhi who was under the protection of several guards on the side:
"Alright, it's almost time to use beehives. ”
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Shouzhi nodded, did not speak, and quickly turned his head to leave and walked down the city wall.
Although he is only good at building cities, Zhang Shouzhi has participated in the Battle of the Southwest with Wang Chong after all, and he is not ignorant of military affairs. These people are powerful, and as cavalrymen, they have enough siege cones and five-claw hooks, which are not common tools for cavalry.
Clearly, this is no ordinary opponent.
However, no matter who they were, it was clear that they had underestimated Wang Chong's belief in building a city here, and his preparations.
"Buzz!"
Just when hundreds of Usizang white male soldiers rushed to the city wall and climbed towards the city wall with hooks one by one, no one noticed that at the city wall, which was about fifteen meters above the ground, dense and honeycomb-like holes were suddenly exposed.
In the hole, there is a faint cold light of sharp arrows everywhere.
Boom, there was a buzz, and in an instant, thousands of sharp arrows were as dense as locusts, and suddenly a waterfall shot out, covering all the Uszang white male soldiers outside the city wall. This time it came suddenly, and it caught the Wusi Tibetan white male soldiers outside the city by surprise.
Dingding, countless arrows rained down on his body, all of which were resisted by the heavy armor. But the rain of arrows shot down on the city wall is not only tens of thousands, and there is no way to dodge at such a close distance.
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, thirty or forty white male soldiers were caught off guard, fell down, and their bodies were scattered on the spot. Others were shot off ropes and fell off the wall. Not only that, but even the other Uszang white male soldiers under the city wall were also covered by the rain of arrows, poof, puff, and in the blink of an eye, people were shot on their backs, and seventy or eighty white male soldiers were shot and killed on the spot.
"Damn it!"
"Watch out for the rain of arrows!"
......
A roar pierced the night sky, and this wave of powerful arrow rain at close range was something that all the white male soldiers did not expect. Wang Chong's "beehive" ambush was just right, and there was no warning before launching, causing more than 100 casualties among Bai Xiong's soldiers in an instant.
For a battle that is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands at every turn, this casualty is simply insignificant, but for the white male soldiers who only have five or six thousand people, this is definitely a large casualty.
"Shield!"
"Defense!"
The ferocity of the white male soldiers was also fully revealed at this time, and in the face of this wave of waterfalls, none of the white male soldiers retreated. In the dim light of the fire, these white male soldiers suddenly leaned down, their right hand poked down the belly of the horse, and when they stood up, there was already a heavy plate armor shield in their hands.
One shield after another was connected to each other, raised high in the air, and in the blink of an eye, under the walls of the Iron City, a huge "defense" was formed, and all the arrows rained on these shields were all resisted.
"Everybody, get up and open the gates!
The leader of the white male soldiers who looked like a commander shouted loudly, and as soon as his voice fell, more five-claw hooks crossed a distance of more than forty meters and threw them on the head of the city.
Not only that, in the rain of arrows in the sky, several white male soldiers with strange armor suddenly jumped off their horses, and under the cover of shields, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
