Chapter 224: Siege

For a time, the soldiers of the well-trained Xinghua Royal Legion were aiming, shooting, loading, and constantly repeating the action, just like shooting a target during training, aiming at the rapid combo of this food transport team that had left the country.

In just a few minutes, the grain convoy was already crushed. Although the food transport team of more than 100 people, in addition to the people, there were also soldiers who left the country to escort them along the way, they had no experience in dealing with shooting, and they would not look for cover or lie on the ground at all. Even, for them, the sound of gunfire is an unheard of, unknown sound, but after discovering that this sound brings death, these people and soldiers are all confused, completely ignoring the food transported, only know how to escape, and subconsciously rush to a place where they can cover.

But it's too late. In just a short time, more than a hundred people, more than fifty, were hit and fell to the ground. The rest of the men did not come to a good end, so Eli immediately led the scimitar team out, almost all of them with bows and crossbows, rushed to the fleeing soldiers and civilians of the food transport team, first gave the enemy an arrow, and then drew their swords and rushed to kill.

In the end, the grain transport team was wiped out.

It wasn't until the overall situation was decided that Yi Xingchen ordered more than a dozen soldiers to select some undamaged uniforms from the corpses all over the place, and bring them back for the soldiers of the Xinghua National Legion to change into. In order to be in a hurry and be able to enter the city before the gate of Wangdong City was closed, Yi Xingchen did not spend any extra time dealing with the aftermath of the soldiers and people of the grain transportation team who had died. The latter are almost always discarded in the grass on the side of the road.

Then these redressed soldiers were arranged to walk in front of the army, and the rest of the soldiers of the Xinghua Regiment. and put on the man's garment. Pretending to be a grain carrier. Follow it. In less than a quarter of an hour, a disguised Wangdong City grain transport team was formed.

Next, Yi Xingchen had no scruples, and ordered the whole army to speed up, and finally saw the gate of Wangdong City two hours later.

The city wall of Wangdong City is twice as high as that of Xilin City, and there is a moat outside the wall of Wangdong City. It can be seen that its defensive strength is extremely high. Obviously, this is a real city. Yi Xingchen knew that in the face of such a city that was not weakly defended, without the assistance of siege equipment, ordinary infantry would not be able to do anything at all.

"Pass through the moat and take the gates at once. "There is still a hundred meters away from the moat, Yi Xingchen instructed the officers around him.

Yi Xingchen had four siege steps, and asked the officers and soldiers of the Xinghua Legion to keep them in mind.

The first step, the Royal Legion, is to quickly capture the city walls. At the gates of the city, set up defensive submachine gun positions; The third step is to go straight to the palace and capture the king of Dongli, and the fourth step is to leave the city and launch an attack to destroy the enemy if the army pursues them.

Originally, Yi Xingchen and the others saw five guards from Wangdongcheng, standing in front of the suspension bridge, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, thinking that once it didn't go well, even if they attacked hard, they had to quickly pass through the suspension bridge. There are also two soldiers, ready to pick up the bazookas on the grain trucks and help in the rear.

But unexpectedly, worrying is almost unnecessary. Because almost all of the five Wangdong City guards looked listless, they didn't even look at them from beginning to end, and let Yi Xingchen and them walk across the drawbridge.

These soldiers who protect the bridge don't pay much attention to Yi Xingchen because the soldiers of Xinghua Kingdom put on the clothes of soldiers who left the country and disguised themselves as the food transportation team of the country leaving the country. The most important thing is that the grain convoy has no oil and water, and they have no excuse to demand that the grain convoy pay the entry tax.

Therefore, these guards were more concerned about the civilians entering the city than the grain caravans.

In fact, at this time, there were quite a few people entering and exiting the gate of Wangdong City.

Behind the grain transport team, there are many people, and they wish that the grain transport team should enter the city as soon as possible, so as not to affect them, so as not to get the time of the shift and lose the opportunity to fish for oil and water.

Between the gate and the moat, there is a range of about fifty meters wide. Finally, the entire grain transport team crossed the moat and had to stop within this range.

In this area, it was also crowded with people, all of whom were waiting to enter the city. However, because of the need to pay the entry tax, the speed could not be fast.

However, after passing through the moat, Yi Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief, and they passed the first level. Now, Yi Xingchen had time to slowly check the city gate environment of Wangdong City.

The gate of Wangdong City is not small, enough to accommodate more than ten people walking side by side. In terms of garrison, there are about twenty soldiers at the city gate, who are responsible for guarding and collecting taxes. On the city wall, there were also some soldiers with spears. Yi Xingchen smiled coldly, he could see that these guards were all ordinary people, there were no high-level martial artists, and a few pistols could control the scene.

The team slowly moved forward, and saw that it was almost over. Yi Xingchen glanced at Charlie, and when Charlie saw the king's eyes, he knew that it was a critical moment.

Charlie nodded, and he led a dozen Xinghua royal soldiers with pistols to walk in front of the grain transport team.

"Where are your guides, and where are you going?" said one of the guards of Wangdong City, who stopped the grain caravan and demanded that they provide a certificate to enter the city. He also asked about the destination of the food convoy.

Charlie, they didn't have a guide, and when they ambushed the food convoy, they were already bloodstained and damaged. Charlie, they naturally can't get it, and as for the destination of the grain transportation team, the Xinghua Army has killed the food transportation team, and it is impossible to know.

Charlie smiled at the gate guards, took out a pistol, pointed the muzzle at the guard, and said, "This is my way!"

The guards of Wangdong City did not recognize the pistol, and were in doubt.

At this point, bam, Charlie opened fire first, killing the guard.

The rest of the city gate guards looking at Dongcheng didn't react, and they were a little stunned.

However, the Xinghua Legion did not give them a chance. As Charlie was the first to shoot, more than a dozen Xinghua pistols also immediately took out their pistols, aimed them at their respective targets, and opened fire. Under the close-range shooting, the guards at the city gate all fell to the ground.

The soldiers in the city gate also seemed to be stunned.

Yi Xingchen ordered the soldiers to launch an attack and enter the city.

The common people at the gates of the city scattered and fled.

The two legions in the Xinghua Legion led by Yi Xingchen cooperated in the division of labor, the Royal Legion had sharp firearms and was responsible for eliminating the defenders of Wangdong City in the brigade, while the Kingdom Legion was responsible for causing chaos in the city, mending knives and setting fires, and trying every means to cause chaos in the entire Wangdong City.
