Chapter 387: The Bloody Battle at Tongkou (3)
The earthquake trembled, the hooves sounded, and more than 200 barbarian elephants, driven by the barbarians, rushed towards the gap in the western city wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
War has always been the most direct driving force for the development of both the enemy and us.
At the beginning, outside Hengshan City, the barbarian handsome and barbarian generals did not understand the edge of the heavy crossbow, and drove the war elephants to trample on the battle formation, not wanting to hinder the galloping trampling of the war elephants, and there was no cover, but at this time, more than 200 war elephants that came to the gap in the western city wall of Tongkou had been draped with a thick layer of black iron armor, and the momentum of trampling in the ice and snow was even more amazing.
Although the demon barbarians are not good at making weapons and refining weapons, it is not difficult for tens of thousands of elite barbarians to piece together more than 200 pairs of iron weevils in a short period of time.
Chen Hai frowned slightly, without saying a word, standing at the head of the city like a sculpture, as if the more than 200 war elephants in front of him were not about to trample on his city.
Tongkou City was defended on three sides, Liao Yunkui and Wu Jinglin led their troops to defend the north; Zhou Jun led the fourth battalion with a lot of damage in the previous battle to defend the south; and the west faced the Tonghe River, the terrain was the most open, and it must be the main battlefield of this battle.
Seeing that the enemy was attacking the main gap where Chen Hai was located, Wu Daoyin, Qi Hanjiang and other generals also converged here.
When they saw that the demon barbarians could also eat a trench and grow wise, and in such a short period of time, they were also deeply worried in their hearts, doubting whether the eighteen heavy crossbows could still withstand these heavy armor war elephants.
At this time, there was a loud rumbling thunder, and I saw fifteen heavenly chariots driving out from behind the bunker in turn, slowly advancing to the three gaps between the western city walls, and eighteen heavy crossbows once again showed their hideous fangs, waiting for the barbarian soldiers to fill the terrifying meat grinder.
Muller, who was running barefoot, saw the Tianji chariot of the Longxiang camp revealing its hideous face again, and his eyes were red and roared again and again.
Although Muller drove the war elephants into battle at this time, just thinking about attracting all the heavy crossbows of the Long Xiang army, so as to facilitate the other soldiers to break into Tongkou City and kill wantonly, at this moment, Muller felt unbearable.
The domestication of these wilderness elephants is by no means an easy task, and the attrition of this battle may take more than ten years to recover, at this time, Muller can only keep urging the beast witch to double down on the destruction of the giant elephants to speed up, hoping that the batch of iron armor that has been temporarily produced can still play some role.
Muller thought to himself that as long as a group of war elephants could successfully trample on the past, even if it was a hard arch and a hard step, they would be able to trample on all those heavenly chariots, and then they would be able to limit the power of the heavy crossbow to the greatest extent.
Frontal contact battles, without too many tricks to see.
In such a rapid charge, the stone-throwing crossbows deployed behind the city walls could only fire a wave of scattered bullets, suppressing the speed of the war elephants, followed by eighteen heavy crossbows roaring, trembling, and whistling, forming a dense barrage of heavy ballistae that could shoot through half an inch thick quenched gold plate from a distance of 2,000 steps, and poured towards the elephant herd.
Ordinary iron armor, not quenched gold armor, even if it is half an inch thick, cannot withstand the furious fire of heavy ballista shells, on the contrary, the iron armor is shattered by heavy ballista shells, and the fragments are scattered inside, and even aggravate the wounds on the surface of the war elephant's body.
The war elephants in the front row finally could not withstand such a dense blow, and advanced to a distance of more than a thousand steps from the gap in the western city wall, and fell down with a mournful roar.
The last thousand paces were like an insurmountable chasm, and a war elephant with armor and a light celestial chariot fell outside the city wall with a mournful roar.
Seeing this scene, Mueller had only one thought in his heart: "No matter how heavy the casualties are, you must not retreat, once you retreat, you will be defeated, and you will leave a big handle to let Mu Wutao joke for a lifetime!"
Of course, Muller also noticed that there were already several heavy crossbows stuck at this time, and he did not roar furiously again.
As if he had seen the dawn of victory, Mueller raised his arms and shouted, letting the tide of demonic soldiers surround him and kill Tongkou City like a raging wave.
The heavy crossbow is powerful, and the loss is also large, and there were eight heavy crossbows before that they only had time to be repaired simply, and they were incorporated into the army to continue to use, but I didn't expect the stability to be so poor, and the first formation did not hold on, so it was dumbfounded.
At this time, the war in the north and south was also heating up, except for the 30,000 auxiliaries transported from Hengshan in the early days, who could fill the city wall at any time to participate in the defense, Chen Hai had no way to draw more elite combat power to reinforce this side.
The rest of the heavy crossbows were still roaring, but the cost of heavy ballista was too great.
Fortunately, even if there were less than 100 demon barbarian war elephants left, the momentum of impact trampling was completely defeated by their side; the real headache was that after the demon barbarian war elephants, more than 20,000 barbarian elite soldiers led by the barbarian general himself had already attacked frantically.
Without the suppression of the heavy crossbow, the fifth battle battalion, more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 3,000 elite soldiers of Tianshui County must fight bravely, and they will be greeted by a bloody and difficult defensive battle.
"Hold on, you must hold on!" Muller saw his beloved war elephants, one after another falling in a pool of blood, his eyes were about to split, he raised the giant axe in his hand, and slashed at the black-cyan heavy celestial chariot with a hideous luster at the gap.
With a "bell", a flaming giant sword came first, holding up Muller's powerful black iron giant axe in the air, and a violent wind burst out from the place where the two axes and swords intersected, stirring up the ice and snow within hundreds of zhang.
Mueller was forced to fly back by the sword, and Huang Shuang was shocked by the axe and a mouthful of blood spurted out. In terms of research, the cultivation in the middle stage of the Huang Shuangdao Dan Realm is still inferior to Muller's combat power.
At this point, the heavy crossbow finally used up all its ammunition and calmed down.
Muller, who was forced back in mid-air, finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasping for breath and smiling cruelly.
More than 200 war elephants, although many of them were still able to stand in the snowfield, had been completely blinded at this time, their flesh and bones were broken, and they were kneeling or standing or lying or lying in mourning.
The demon barbarian armor soldiers who rolled forward were also full of uneasiness at this time, they were not sure whether the heavy crossbow that seemed to be the reaming of death would roar again at any time, not to mention that the war elephant was in front, and it could not block all the heavy crossbow shells, even if they paid attention to the dispersed formation in the back, in such a short period of time, nearly two thousand soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Barbarians have always been proud of their physical strength, and some people are so strong that they can even block sword soldiers, but when they see the burly body like an iron tower, as long as they are shot by a heavy crossbow, they are cut by the rapid rotation of the tip of the blade, and even the small half of their body will be stirred up in an instant, and they will be stirred into a mess of rotten meat.
However, the morale of the brute soldiers is not so easy to collapse, and it will be a hard battle for the generals of the Longxiang battalion to greet them, but at this time, the Tianji chariot is not useless.
Even if it is a light celestial chariot, which cooperates well with the infantry and cavalry, and charges in the enemy formation, it is several times stronger than a heavily armored brute elephant, and the heavy celestial chariot is more like the mainstay of its own formation, giving its own generals the most firm support.
The generals of the two sides were like two torrents, colliding violently into each other in three gaps in the west city wall.
"Ahh
When the two armies were evenly matched, it was still difficult to estimate the role that the peerless powerhouses of the Ming Realm and even the Dao Dan Realm and the Dao Fetal Realm could play. Muller's bravery is abnormal, a pair of black iron giant axes, each of which looks like a thousand pounds, swinging like the wind, even the frontal armor of a heavy celestial chariot can't withstand two or three axes.
Chen Hai's figure escaped, the true intent of martial arts rose at will, and his right fist condensed the momentum of wind and thunder, forming a fist mark the size of a bowl basin that seemed to contain no thunder arc in it, and resisted the crazy Mueller.
Chen Hai only felt that his feet sank, and half of his leg was covered by this blow and fell into the hard frozen soil.
"Good strength!" Chen Hai secretly praised, knowing that Mu Le was purely based on physical strength, and he was better than himself, and he really deserved to be a barbarian with demon blood.
Huang Shuang, Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang, Wu Meng and other generals who led their troops to deploy in the west city wall could not hide behind the battle at this time, and they all went directly to the front line and entangled with the brave barbarian generals.
The three openings in the western city wall are like the bottomless abyss of the meat grinder inside, frantically devouring the lives of the generals on both sides.
Chen Hai stood in front of the main gap, two heavy celestial chariots by his side, five pairs of load-bearing wheels crushed the ice and soil, and they were about to run over the barbarians on both wings, so that the barbarians would never have the possibility of forming a battle formation before the halberds of the generals of the Longxiang army.
Mueller was angry, swung his axe and was about to slash towards a heavy heavenly chariot, where would Chen Hai follow his wishes, stride and punch, and a fist mark attacked Mueller's heart again.
The corners of Mueller's eyes jumped, his axes were closed in front of his chest, and a huge force came, and he was forced to slide backwards for more than a dozen steps before he could stand still.
At this time, Muller began to face up to the rough man in the green robe in front of him, and to face the capricious legend in front of him, and finally shamelessly defected to Chen Hai, the leader of the Longxiang battalion.
This world must be crazy, Muller thought indignantly, when will a human being be able to overwhelm the noble dragon bloodline with just physical strength?
Seeing Chen Hai empty-handed, Muller also threw the giant axe in his hand aside, and the giant axe sank heavily into the frozen ground.
The distant fighting and screaming gradually moved away from Müller, and he put all distractions aside to show the ridiculous human in front of him what true power was.
Muller is a dragon bloodline, he has the unyielding will of a dragon, and although he has suffered setbacks and tribulations, he will never allow himself to fail in terms of strength.
There was no need to deliberately condense the fist print, the huge fist brought gusts of wind, and the cold killing intent stimulated Chen Hai to squint his eyes slightly.
"It's good to come!" Chen Hai shouted, wanting to completely activate the swelling battle intent in his chest, and he also returned the punch with a loud bang, and both of them took a few steps back, leaving footprints of different shades on the hard frozen soil.
"Happy!" Chen Hai shouted, at this moment, what tossing and turning, what left and right, were all left behind by him, and all that was left was incomparable fighting spirit, full of himself.
Grabbing with both hands, as if grabbing a 10,000-pound boulder with both hands, Chen Hai smashed his head and face at Mueller, and Mueller also punched him. This time, neither of them retreated, and the surrounding land cracked inch by inch with the two of them as the center.
At this time, more than a dozen stone-throwing crossbows deployed at the top of the lonely peak finally uncamouflaged and accurately threw stone bullets to the rear of the barbarians fighting on the north and south flanks.
The horizontal range of the counterweight-type stone-throwing crossbow can only reach 2,500 steps at present, but due to the solid lone peak on the east side of Tonghe City, there is a height difference of nearly 300 meters, and the range of the stone-throwing crossbow has been further extended by five or six hundred steps.
If the barbarians had been prepared or at the beginning of the war, the barbarians would have borne more casualties at the top of the mountain, and they would have destroyed more than a dozen stone-throwing crossbows on the top of the mountain, but when the fierce battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch, the dozen or so stone-throwing crossbows that were suddenly undisguised were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The brutes on the north and south flanks were the first to be unable to resist and retreated, intending to withdraw from the range of the stone-throwing crossbows on the top of the mountain.
They were guarding against the possibility of the defenders of the north and south cities coming out of the tail, but they didn't expect that at this time, the more than 2,000 heavy armored cavalry organized by Zhou Jun on the inside of the southern city wall did not directly go out of the city to attack the barbarians retreating south, but interspersed from the city at the fastest speed, swept out from the gap in the southwest city wall, and killed the barbarian soldiers in the west from the flanks like cutting butter......
This was the straw that broke the brute army in the west.
Chen Hai intuitively felt that the fighting intent in his chest was getting more and more full at this time, the inner court and the outer court, the entanglement of forces, and the invasion of blood demons were all put down by him, and at this time he had only one thought, that is, to be upright and upright, and to defeat the demon in front of him without any fancy. At this moment, a thought of enlightenment flashed in his consciousness, and the true elements of all the knots and veins gathered in one knot in an instant, and the sound of thunder burst out in his body, and he saw that his right arm was wrapped in a faint golden light, and he slashed towards Mueller.
Muller was also crazy at this time, and he didn't even notice that the barbarian battle formation in the west had collapsed, and he couldn't hear the barbarian generals under his command screaming and wailing, he saw Chen Hai's unprecedented punch split, and he even had an inexplicable surprise in his heart, this moment was just the power to destroy the whole body, and a blue dark dragon Jiao virtual form reappeared, like an invisible light wave suddenly entered his strong body, and he saw his right fist bent up, putting on an incomparably mysterious fist fight, and collided with Chen Hai.
A silent wave erupted, shaking the armor soldiers hundreds of paces around them to the ground.
Muller howled and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground, and Chen Hai also retreated dozens of steps, his body against the city wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out to stabilize his body.
"What a strong breath!" Huang Shuang and Granny Crane were originally going to rush over and together with Chen Hai, they besieged the barbarian under the west city wall, but they were secretly shocked when they felt the strength of Chen Hai and Mueller's last two punches.
At this time, a team of demons was killed in the oblique stab, and they were not afraid of death to snatch Mueller, who seemed to have passed out......
