Volume 5 Demon Domain Fight Chapter 265 Really
When the soldiers of Changhe City on the city wall saw the mighty army of the Great Xia Empire advancing outside the city, their morale instantly fell to the bottom.
The Great Xia Empire nominally sent 50,000 troops this time, and it was 50,000 elite soldiers, but the actual number reached about 200,000, 50,000 people were the Praetorian Guards of the imperial family, and 150,000 were the troops of the local familiesIf you say that large ballistas, even if they are the impregnable walls of Changhe City, they can't bear dozens of ballistas, and they can't bear it, this kind of cumbersome war killer requires dozens of horses to pull it together, and the solution to them is best to go out of the city to face the battle, and destroy it when the ballista has not yet reached the preset position, otherwise the threat of this kind of thing to the city is too great.
In addition to siege ballistas, there are also catapults, ladders, etc., the Great Xia Empire can be seen to be preparing for an attack on the scale of a big war this time, and it seems that it wants to take Changhe City in one fell swoop.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the border, it stands to reason that it should be because of the vigilance of all aspects of the demon domain, but at this time, Shui Yuntian does not move, there are demon caves that do not move, only the Tianpo Cave is aware of something, and is paying close attention to this matter, but I don't want to wade into the muddy waters this time, this is not clear, there are demon caves are fighting against the Black Tower, the outcome is unpredictable, most of the Black Tower is going to lose, after all, the strength is over there, even the five Black Towers are not as good as the Demon Caves, the strength of the Tianpo Cave is basically equivalent to the Black Tower, and the previous cooperation alliance is also to survive in the gap between the Demon Cave and the Shui Yuntian and the Great Xia Empire, and now that it is really moving, the Tianpo Cave does not dare to moveγ
It's not that Anyatu didn't write a letter to ask for help from the Heavenly Cave, but the letter was shelved, because the Heavenly Hole didn't dare to care, and he didn't want to care about this matter.
The army outside the city is less than three miles away from Changhe City, and it has been connected with Lu Chun's army at the rear, and then the army immediately adjusted its posture and made a preparation for a siege, large ballistas and catapults entered the firing position, and the siege troops were divided into several echelons, just the crossbowmen had more than 30,000 people, and in the situation where I don't know what the situation is now, the royal army let the family army take the lead, and the first echelon of the siege force only arranged more than 10,000 people.
"Fuck, sooner or later, the Imperial army is here at this time to tell our people to retreat. Lu Chun scolded, now he has to retreat to the outside of the city, wait a while the ballista and catapult come together, indiscriminate attack, his army is at the city gate, and the main target of its siege equipment is here, that is not to use his army as a target to blow it all down, Lu Chun is not stupid, he can't fight against the army of the Great Xia Empire, but he has completed the task of capturing the city gate, even if so many people suddenly come to share the wealth of Changhe City with him, he has a lot of credit on the imperial family, and that is also earned, isn't itοΌ
Lu Chun's army withdrew from the battle one after another, making way from the city gate, and Hei Jia did not come out, but hid in Changhe City with the remaining dozens of people, and a soldier of the Black Tower tribe was chasing them.
Lu Chun came to the side of the imperial army and met with the main general of the empire.
The main general of the empire is named Shang Gong, a member of the imperial family, at the level of the emperor's relatives, and his cousin is the concubine of the current emperor, this guy is arrogant by nature, but his strength is not very good, after the placement of the army, he immediately established a marching tent, that is, more than ten minutes, Shang Gong was eating fruit in the big tent at this time, listening to the reports of the generals.
"General Shanggong, all of our men have been withdrawn, and from now on, we will be able to order the besieging troops in front to start shooting. β
"Very good, then give a combat order, those ghost things in the Demon Domain, do you think I can't catch them if I hide behind the city wall, hehehe. β
"General Report, our rear is very safe, and within two hundred miles of the vicinity, only a few small armies of the Black Tower tribe have been found, with less than 10,000 troops, not enough to pose a threat to us. β
"The people of the Demon Domain, there are many tricks, we have not encountered any resistance along the way, this must be taken care of, we must not let the Demon Domain make dumplings, although we have more than 200,000 troops, but this is not the Great Xia Empire after all, but the damned Demon Domain, you continue to investigate, send troops, along the road we came, set up sentry posts, take care of each other, and notify the imperial troops on the border to support us, this time we have invaded so far, the opportunity is really rare, we can't miss it." Shang Gong said.
"It's General Shanggong, if we take Changhe City this time, after we take it back, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily, and it is unknown if you will be crowned a king and a marquis in the future." β
"Hehehe, as long as you can speak, there is a reward. β
"General, the Lu Chun who took the city gate just now has already come, just waiting outside the tent, does the general want to see him?" At this time, a guard outside the tent walked in and said.
"Tell him to come in, with 20,000 people, you can attack the city gate, this is also a rare thing in my Great Xia Empire, such a powerful general, not for my use, isn't it a pity, what our Great Xia Empire lacks is this kind of talent, this kind of fierce general, when we have a certain number of such fierce generals, why worry that his Demon Domain will not be destroyed, for thousands of years, it has always been our wish to destroy the Demon Domain, hahaha." Shang Gong said.
"Having a leader like a general is the blessing of the empire. The lieutenant laughed.
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, put your mind on the battle, after this battle, whoever has made a meritorious service, then reward heavily, if it is unfavorable, then it will be punished, now above the royal court, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our side, more than 200,000 troops, as long as we drive out a little achievement, then the empire will continue to increase troops to us, with soldiers, with food and grass, then why can't we destroy the demon domain, but we failed in the first battle, then our faces will all be lost, you know?" Shang Gong's ambition is not small, this time the Great Xia Empire sent him to attack the Black Tower, but he still wanted to not only lay down the Black Tower, but also take this opportunity to recover the Demon Domain.
"Got it, it's still the general's foresight. The adjutant said.
"That's because you don't do things in the royal court, and the whirlpool on it is difficult for you to understand. Shang Gong said.
Subsequently, Lu Chun was brought in, and after coming in, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, within a military tent, there are almost dozens of generals, and each official position is not low, and the main seat is Shang Palace, he has not seen Shang Palace, but he also knows a thing or two.
"General Shanggong, you are finally here, we have suffered heavy casualties in order to attack Changhe City. Lu Chunzuo said.
"You are Lu Chun, who knocked down the city gate?" Shang Gong was slightly stunned, he didn't know Lu Chun, and he hadn't seen Lu Chun before, he heard that it was Lu Chun who knocked down the city gate, he naturally had a general idea of this person in his heart, thinking about this person's appearance, it was conceivable that he could take Changhe City with 20,000 people must be a mighty warrior, but now it doesn't seem to be right, this Lu Chun is not tall, and there is no beggar of a warrior at all, but like a villain who wags his tail, with a sallow face with a treacherous smile, that Shang Gong has been doing things in the royal court for many years, he should not be wrong if he sees too much of this face, he is really strange, such a person can also take Changhe CityProbably not, right?
"It's me, thanks to the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy in the front, and took advantage of the general's prestige, so the soldiers of Changhe City messed up when they heard that the general was coming, which gave us a chance. β
