Chapter 386: The Bloody Battle at Tongkou (2)
The sky was gloomy, the north wind was cold, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and under the gloomy sky, the three phalanxes of the barbarians slowly approached Tongkou City from the east, south, and west directions, surrounded by simple weapons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Wutao squinted his eyes and looked at the black and cyan city wall in front of him.
Compared with the cities of Hengshan and Guanhe, the majestic city walls of thirty or forty meters at every turn, the city that stands again at the mouth of the Tong River, the city wall is not even three meters high, and it must not be considered high, and the elite soldiers in the tribe can even rush over it with a jump.
However, seeing the thousands of dragon soldiers standing above and below the city wall, Mu Wutao inexplicably felt a coercion that was difficult to dispel.
"The army is strong and angry!"
Mu Wutao Wuyong is far inferior to Mu Le and others, but he has developed his strengths and avoided weaknesses, specializing in witchcraft over the years, taking the path of witch and barbarian cultivation, and even buying a large number of sect classics from businessmen who are willing to trade with demons and barbarians, thinking of getting a glimpse of the Xuanxiu method of the Yanzhou sect, he also dabbles in military formations and military techniques, and knows that the coercion felt by the divine soul at this moment is the killing and killing spirit that can only be condensed by the elite tiger and wolf division.
With the gradual advancement of the barbarian phalanx, the killing spirit that leaked from Tongkou City not only did not decrease, but also became more dignified, Mu Wutao knew that the soldiers of the Longxiang army were not afraid to fight them, and even longed to fight.
What kind of elite is this, Mu Wutao gave the Long Xiang Army a heavy mark in his heart.
At this time, standing on the wall of Tongkou City, whose defense was far inferior to that of Guanhe and Hengshan, Wu Jingyin looked at the demon barbarian army that was gradually approaching the city, and his heart palpitated.
At the beginning, Wu Cheng came over to show his goodwill, but with his blood and bravery, he did not refuse.
Long Xiang's army had won several big victories before, he thought that the demon barbarian army should have been killed, at least this winter would not think of storming Tongkou City, and even deep in his heart, he also despised the demon barbarians who had put huge pressure on the front line of Guanhe and Hengshan in the past.
When all kinds of demons lined up in a phalanx, or roared, or solemnly advanced, filling his vision, he still couldn't help but dry his mouth.
At this moment, Wu Daoyin's intuition sank his left shoulder, and he was excited, and subconsciously "poofed" and destroyed the cloud cutting sword behind him out of the sheath, wanting to prevent the sneak attack of the incoming enemy, but found that it was Qi Hanjiang standing behind him.
Seeing that Wu Daoyin was also a powerhouse in the late stage of the dignified Ming Realm, seeing that the barbarian soldiers had lost his soul to this point, Qi Hanjiang smiled and did not speak.
Wu Daoyin realized that he had lost his temper, and he fell into Qi Hanjiang's eyes, he wanted to defend himself a few words, but seeing the contempt revealed between the corners of Qi Hanjiang's mouth, he was ashamed for a while, the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times, and he didn't say anything.
At this moment, the desolate trumpet sounded, as if the music of death was playing between heaven and earth.
Afraid of the terrifying power of the heavy crossbow, the main force of the demons who crossed the Tong River from the west and entered Tongkou City, in addition to cutting down trees and building a large number of large shields and shield carts, did not dare to get too close to the city wall at the beginning, but pushed up and down more than a dozen catapults that were hastily made, up and down, and threw huge stones with the sound of the howling wind towards Tongkou City.
The principle of the counterweight catapult is extremely simple, and the demon is not a demon beast with low intelligence.
Especially since the Black Stone Khanate gained a foothold on the west coast of the Hanhai Sea, it has also captured a large number of Terran craftsmen and attached great importance to the manufacture of palaces and war weapons, so it is not surprising that catapults appear in the demon barbarian battle array.
However, the manufacturing principle of catapult is extremely simple, but it is not easy to throw one or two hundred catties or even hundreds of catties of stone bullets two or three thousand steps away.
This places extremely high demands on the strength of the components used to make catapults.
The first wave of stone bullets, still a large distance away from the city wall, fell to the ground one after another, smashing the ice and snow outside Tongkou City, and did not even touch the edge of the west city wall of Tongkou City, which was just a shameful laugh.
Muller, who personally supervised the battle in the west, gave an expression at this moment to order, and transferred 3,000 soldiers from the headquarters, facing the howling north wind, wearing firm and stubborn, and roaring to cover more than a dozen catapults to continue to advance.
The dozen or so heavy catapults deployed by the Long Xiang army in the western city wall have long been ready to go, full of desire to drink the blood of the demon barbarians.
The auxiliaries cut the ropes, and the stone bullets in the bullet sacs came out in response, drawing a graceful and cruel arc in the air, and falling towards the demon barbarian array.
This is the real counterweight catapult, crossing the sky two thousand five hundred paces wide, more than a dozen stone bullets thicker than the stone grinding disc, extremely accurate and diagonally smashed into the demon barbarian battle array.
Wu Daoyin saw the demon barbarian formation, and more than a dozen large or small gaps and clouds of flesh and blood blurs were torn open in front of his eyes.
The stone bullet does not lose all its kinetic energy when it hits the ground, and it will continue to roll forward with inertia for two or three hundred meters before stopping, at this distance, the demon barbarian soldiers were rushed to the ground, and several simple catapults were directly broken up and turned into a piece of rotten wood.
"This is the power of ordinary people!"
Wu Daoyin stood on the city wall and was also very emotional, thinking to himself how terrifying his personal cultivation must be in order to catch the thousands of pounds of falling stones thrown from 3,000 steps away from the front? Even if he stood in front of the thousands of pounds of boulders that were smashed by the wind and thunder, the defenses formed by several high-grade seals would probably be blown out together.
The demon barbarian formation that was marching was stagnant and chaotic for a while, and then a stream of fiery red and earthy yellow brilliance scattered out from the bone staff held by the Wu Barbarian who accompanied the army to fight, and a manic and bloody breath made up for it in the barbarian battle array, making the barbarian blood boil twice as much and the battle intent swelled, making them ignore the pain and dispel the fear in the hearts of the barbarians.
Taking advantage of the gap between the catapults and the stone projectiles, thousands of barbarians gave up their dependence on more than a dozen simple catapults, rushed to Tongkou City together, and set up a simple wooden ladder on the low city wall, directly attached to the city, and wanted to start hand-to-hand combat with the defenders on the city wall.
Only by rushing to the front could the catapults on the inside of the walls pose no threat to them.
Although Tongkou City was not completely enclosed, leaving more than a dozen large or small gaps, many barbarian generals were worried that these gaps were likely to be traps deliberately left by the Long Xiang army.
Not to mention the rest, when thousands, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers blocked the gap, at this time, dozens of heavenly chariots were crushed out of the city, what a terrifying situation?
Mueller has a rough temperament, but he's not stupid.
The walls of Tongkou City are more solid than gold stones, which can be used by the generals of the Longxiang battalion to defend, but if they can take down these walls and start street battles according to this section of the city wall, they can suppress the power of the heavenly chariot to the greatest extent, but first they must be able to take this section of the city wall.
Even though Tie Kun's gang was annoying, Muller had to admit that some of his sometimes tactical suggestions did have merit: giving up the gap and fighting with the generals of the Long Xiang battalion for a cut of the iron and stone city wall was their chance to win.
The soldiers of Long Xiang on the western city wall responded calmly, and even on the city wall that was only seven or eight steps wide, they were strictly required to form small battle formations ranging from a dozen or thirty to fifty people.
The strength of the individual Terran soldiers is still a little weaker, but more than a dozen people, thirty or fifty people together, with a dense war halberd and an indestructible battle shield, can still suppress the barbarian soldiers who can afford to kill under the city wall.
Looking at the fierce battle situation in Tongkou Xicheng, Mueller did not dare to relax a little, constantly dispatched elites to strengthen the offensive, and at the same time paid close attention to the development of the situation on the entire battlefield.
By this time, the defenders had not used heavy crossbows, could it be that the defenders had disdained to use such sharp weapons as heavy crossbows against them?
Or maybe it really seems that as Tie Kun guessed, the consumption of the heavy crossbow is extremely high, and the Longxiang battalion can't afford it?
"Mueller, you said that the enemy army has a terrifying heavy crossbow, and you have suffered repeated setbacks before, but why did you not show up at this time? Could it be that you made up an excuse to cover up your previous defeat?" asked Mu Wutao gloomily, he still did not forget to put pressure on Mueller at this time.
"......" Mueller gritted his fangs in hatred
Because of the fear of the heavy crossbow, many siege methods were not used, which made the barbarians who landed in the city to fight only rely on the most primitive tactics to fight against the well-trained battle formations of the Longxiang army generals on the city wall, and the casualties were extremely heavy, and Muller was crying blood in his heart, but he could press more war beasts and soldiers to find a breakthrough point from the gap in the city wall? Or should he first reconnoiter the deployment of the defenders in the walled city more closely?
******************
"The demon barbarian's extremely accurate spear throwing, as well as the crazy combat method that is almost crazy and does not feel pain after being stimulated by the blood sacrifice witch method, has made us suffer enough for so many years, but seeing them besiege Tongkou City today, it is really much more restrained, it seems that they have really been killed by the heavy crossbow. ”
Liao Yunkui and Wu Jinglin led their troops to guard the northern city, in order to avoid miscommunication, Liu Chun stayed by Chen Hai's side and was responsible for the liaison between the two sides.
"There should be a change next. Chen Hai said in a calm tone.
At this time, in the barbarian battle array on the opposite side, more than a dozen Demon Wing Clansmen flew out and flew quickly towards this side.
Without waiting for Chen Hai to greet her, Granny He, who was hovering in the air monitoring the battlefield, went up with more than a dozen war birds.
War birds are extremely precious and have too many uses, and they will not easily participate in the bloody slaughter in the front, but they will never allow the demon wing scouts of the enemy army to fly directly to the sky above Tongkou City to show off their might.
Granny Crane's figure was the fastest, as if a golden rainbow light flew in, and suddenly stopped in mid-air, and saw thousands of golden lights, shrouding more than a dozen demon wing soldiers.
A group of demon wing soldiers dodged one after another, but the leading demon wing barbarian just put his wings together in front of him, and met him without dodging or dodging.
Dozens of golden rays of sword qi hit it, sparks shot out, and a pair of iron wings were unharmed at all.
This demon-winged barbarian general was able to cultivate a pair of scale wings to be indestructible than a golden stone, and his cultivation was not weak.
Granny Crane was furious, waved her wings together, and rushed over with wind and thunder, her huge beak opened and closed, and pecked fiercely at the steel wings of the demon wing brute.
The strength of the demon wing barbarian general is not bad, but how can he be the opponent of Granny Crane in the air? He was beaten to the point that he did not dare to fight, so he had to desperately flee to his own formation.
Granny Crane would not let him go, her giant wings spread angrily, ignoring the rain of arrows shot from the front of the demon barbarian, a pair of iron scale claws, grabbed the left wing of the demon wing barbarian, and tore it off fiercely, and the blood feathers spilled all over the ground, only then flew back slightly back together, barely entangled by the strong man in the demon barbarian.
The remnants of the Demon Wing Scout soldiers fled to their own formation, never daring to come up again.
Muller on the ground saw clearly, anger came from it, grabbed a giant axe, exhaled loudly, and thousands of steps away, the giant axe swirled with electric light and slashed angrily at Granny Crane.
Granny Crane dodged lightly, circled in mid-air, and then walked away with a sigh, and continued to fly to a height of thousands of feet, monitoring every grass and tree on the battlefield.
Mueller sent the Demon Wing Scout to reconfirm the possible location of the heavy crossbow, but it was obvious that the limited Demon Wing Scout in his hand had no way to break through the air defense network formed by the Dragon Xiang Army's war bird battalion......
At this time, it may really only be like Tie Kun's suggestion, and no matter where the Long Xiang army deployed the more than ten heavy crossbows, they just attacked from all directions, and the Long Xiang army only had a dozen heavy crossbows in their hands, and it was impossible to take care of all the corners.
"Fight, fight, fight!" Muller couldn't stand Mu Wutao's mocking eyes, and roared angrily, demanding that the north and south flanks launch a general attack at the same time.
"Buzzing", the horn sounded, bang, bang, the earthquake trembled, and more than two hundred wilderness elephants drove from the rear to the forward line again......
Muller's previous figure was extremely burly, nearly a zhang high, at this time he roared to the sky, his thick muscles expanded sharply, and the dragon Jiao's phantom churned, and finally merged into Muller's body, making his body three or four percent thicker than before, he was barefoot, holding a black iron battle axe, and took the lead in killing a gap in Tongkou Xicheng.
If you want to fight, you must not hesitate to press all the chips, whether you succeed or not, it is a matter of one move.
