Chapter 50: Destruction
With a hint of reluctance, Zhuo Bing squeezed out a slight smile, her asking for her life does not mean that she has the ability to fight, even if she is wearing heavy armor now and standing in the city tower, she can't find the feeling ......of fighting, she came here, just to share her father's worries, do her best for the country, glance at Beigong salary, and take responsibility for her husband!
"When do you think they'll attack the city next?" Zhuo Bing asked.
"It should be very soon, Pan has taken most of Mangzhuo's territory, if Mangzhuo is overcome, the entire Mangzhuo will really be taken, since the siege of the city to this day, Pan will not attack a city for more than half a month, even the impregnable thousand cities, also Pan in the fourteenth day, Mangdu is firm, the Pan army will not slow down, after all, the fast attack will be beneficial to them and harmless."
"There is no harm in all benefits?" Zhuo Bing muttered in response, looking sideways at her majestic fiancé, I don't know why, listening to his tone and looking at the determined expression on his face, she had a hint of admiration but inexplicable unease.
"What are our odds?" Pursing her lips, she suddenly regretted asking the question.
With arms around his chest, the Beigong salary table is relaxed, "The walls of Mangdu are all made of boulders, the wall is twenty-five meters high, there is a moat about ten meters wide, the food in the city is abundant, its own water source is not easy to pollute, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if someone does not take the initiative to open the city gate, no matter how strong the Pan army is, it will definitely not be able to enter the city." ”
"Is it going to be wasted?" Is this how it is to fight wars? Is it a success to defend a city?
Looking down and thinking about it, too, unless it is the aggressor, isn't the invaded just a guard? If you keep it, shouldn't you succeed? However, if the city is not breached once or twice, is it really the victorious side?
"Now, we have to consume, and when the energy consumption passes, it will be a new situation." Zhuo Bing met Beigong Xin's gaze, and the corners of his mouth had a slight smile, as if he was comforting her? She was a little drunk, if she lost most of her confidence in Mang Zhuo before asking for her life, in the smile of Beigong's salary, her heart was full of some unknown feeling, like confidence, and like peace of mind.
The city wall is full of boulders, trebuchets are resting at various stone-throwing points, and a large number of arrows are placed on the side of the wall according to the most reasonable arrangement, which seems to be prepared and foolproof!
The sky in the distance slowly brightened up with blue and white light, but the beacon fire on the city wall was still burning, the national flag of Mangzhuo stood quietly in the morning light every ten meters, the soldiers who had been guarding the post all night were waiting for the replacement with their eyes half-squinted, and the chirping of birds could not be heard in the winter morning, and it was very quiet, very quiet.
Zhuo Bing gently leaned his head on Beigong Xin's shoulder, quietly looking at the sun in the distance who wanted to jump out of the horizon. A new day has begun, and the reckless year has moved forward for another day .......
There was a tremor on the ground, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and the sentry on the city tower who had been working for days opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and the strange situation in the distance made him stunned for a moment, what was that? The sight was getting clearer, the sentry's mouth was opening wider and wider, and the ground shook so much that he didn't need to convey any more information, and many of the soldiers defending the city were already shouting; "Siege, siege ......."
The siege began, and the black and oppressive "black cloud" that moved closer and closer from the distant horizon, like the hell Shura that continued to emerge from the bottom of the ground, was the green armor soldiers of Pan, the heavy armored infantry of the green shield and spear in front of the formation, the ironclad cavalry was the backbone, and the rear was the auxiliary formation of the light armored infantry, and it was roughly estimated with the naked eye that the strength of the siege was at least about 300,000.
There was a panic on the city tower of Mangdu, and all the soldiers who were still resting were dispatched, although there were originally planned to arrange their respective attack points, but now the panic of the soldiers pressing the city made all the soldiers panic and couldn't find and gave up finding the original positioning point, and when they saw a vacant trebuchet or arrow, they squatted down, Zhuo Bing ran all the way up to the city tower, and looked at the Pan army that was already under the city, and searched in a panic, "Where is General Beigong?" Grabbed a soldier and asked.
"I don't know." The soldier shook his head blankly. Several soldiers were arrested in a row, but they didn't know where Beigong's salary was. Zhuo Bing stomped his feet anxiously, stood at the head of the city, and looked at the soldiers led by Ji Jiu below who had begun to attack the city, Zhuo Bing bit his lip and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers listen, from now on, all the people listen to my orders, don't panic, and now we are not allowed to retreat again, behind us is our imperial city, we have no way to retreat, where is the country broken, even if we throw our heads and spill blood today, we will swear to be with the city." ”
The soldiers on the tower of the city shouted at the same time: "For thousands of generations, we swear to be with the city!" Suddenly, Mang Zhuo's morale soared, and under Zhuo Bing's order to return to his position, the soldiers quickly found their own station.
One drew his long sword, and Zhuo Bing shouted: "Archer soldiers!" Suddenly the arrows rained down, but I saw the Pan cavalry retreating rapidly, and the shield-wielding heavy armor soldiers and archers were lined up in the front, covered by square shields, and the archers released arrows behind the shields, and both sides were damaged.
After condensing his eyebrows, Zhuo Bing ordered again: "Throwing stones!" ”
The soldier quickly loaded the stone, launched with a trebuchet, "boom", a piece of boulder flew out, the soldier holding the shield at the bottom could not stop the flying smashing of the boulder at all, and countless people were injured and killed, a sharp retreat, the distance from the city was stretched, the boulder was too heavy because of the weight, the range of the launch could not be too far, and as soon as the attacker retreated, it was a waste to launch again, Zhuo Bing stopped the throwing of the boulder, and then condensed his eyebrows, "Launch the fireball!" ”。
Fireballs are lighter and have a longer range, but they are less lethal than stone-throwing. A series of defensive attacks made the Pan army unable to attack for a short time.
Zhuo Bing pondered for a while, called the soldiers to bring black oil, stained the tips of the arrows with black oil, and lit the fire before launching. The whole city was full of smoke and fire, huge boulders were scattered, some soldiers were shot by rockets, and they jumped everywhere, if other soldiers dodged everywhere.
The soldiers on the upper floor of Mangdu City looked excited, and the good start made all the soldiers confident. Unknowingly, the generals relied on their princess generals with all their hearts, and the enemy army repeatedly retreated.
Ji Jiu sat on the high horse, looking at the qiē on the city tower, the defense of the city was well prepared, and the generals who defended the city were also a little smart, but so what?
The front end of the Pan army was damaged, and the rear end of the army was the main force, Yi Jiu laughed slowly from a gloomy smile, and raised the "bloodthirsty butcher knife" that had been cut from Pan all the way to the capital of Mangzhuo, and all the soldiers behind him bowed down and moved closer to the center, waiting for the momentum.
"Rush ~~~~~~~~!" The long sound of the storm came out of Wing Jiu's mouth, and the millions of soldiers behind him all responded with a slashing hiss, instantly drowning out Wing Jiu's voice, the rapid drum beat wildly, the whole earth shook, and the trembling under the feet could be clearly felt on the city tower, and even in the capital, because of the shouting and killing outside the city and the aftershocks on the ground, the chickens and dogs were restless
