Chapter 213: War Breaks Out
Jian Yusheng walked out of the black tent, and as far as he could see, it was a black-armored iron guard that did not make waves, and the black pressure was overwhelming, like a rolling thundercloud.
The eyes under the helmet of the black-armored soldiers all looked at one place, the iron ring general Wu Lihai.
General Tiehuan shook his hand, and the Wujia army looked at the direction of Ancheng with murderous energy.
Wu Lihai's voice overshadowed the wind and crossed the night. "The black armor iron cavalry obeys the order! Attack the city tomorrow! A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. ”
The sound of the black army was like thunder. "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, blood for blood, life for life!!"
Jian Yusheng's eyes were interesting, he looked at the army of dead men at the far edge, slowly raised his hand, and silently recited the magic formula.
The blood golems began to move slowly like a torrent, the outer layer of blood golems separated, and the 10,000 uniformed blood golems in the middle stood like pines and cypresses, with the imprint of Ouroboros engraved on their foreheads.
These blood golems with the mark of the Blood Temple retreated to the sides of the Armored Iron Army twice as fast as ordinary people, giving way to a clearing that led directly to Anseong.
"You're not going to war?" Wu Lihai silently watched the blood puppet retreat to both sides, and said to the blood puppet who came to his side.
Jian Yusheng replied: "The general will break the city first, and it will be difficult to control this group of evil creatures under my command when they see blood, and I will take action at the critical moment." ”
Wu Lihai looked at the blood puppet army that retreated to both sides in disgust, those who were dressed in red and had the mark of the ring snake were the real trouble.
After vacating the open space for the siege, the black army began to surge, arranging troops, erecting ladders, and forming trebuchets.
Four giant slaves more than three meters tall with iron chains were pushed out of their cages by sharp spears.
The barbarian giants had blank faces and burly bodies covered with whip marks, and years of hard labor had taught them to shut up and obey.
Several soldiers formed a team, carrying parts of heavy armor and throwing them beside the barbarian slaves.
It was custom-made armor for the Barbarian Giants, and there was a belt attached to the sides of the battering ram to prevent it from falling off.
Not far away, a large tree wrapped in iron sheets was dragged out by more than two dozen soldiers using a pulley device.
At the first moment when the Wujia Iron Army took action, the soldiers stationed on the walls of Ancheng sounded the alarm when the rhythm of the drums changed suddenly, and rushed to the main tower of the city to report the enemy's situation.
For a whole night, the torches in the Tianji camp were never extinguished, and the Wujia Iron Army assembled the siege equipment overnight.
When the alarm sounded in Anseong, Daylight and the boat woke up in an instant and went to the city wall, and the entire Anseong was on guard because of the enemy's movements, and it was a sleepless night.
At dawn the next day, the war drums sounded at the same time, and the two sides fired a rain of arrows without warning, and the sky was covered with arrows that intersected, obscuring the sun.
After the temptation, the Darker Iron Army launched an attack to the beat of war drums, and the shield soldiers took the lead, and the shields formed a horizontal line against the city wall.
Behind the four barbarian giants, dressed in heavy armor and dragging battering rams with special belts, marched towards the city gate in a rain of arrows.
An infantry squad held a giant shield high to fend off a rain of arrows, and slowly advanced beside the barbarian giants, protecting the battering ram to reach the city gates.
At the same time, the trebuchet also began to operate, and countless burning stones crossed the towering city walls in a half-arc and smashed into Anseong.
Flames and boulders fell on the streets, destroying houses and causing fires.
Civilian forces in Anseong immediately joined the rescue and quickly extinguished the fires one by one to keep the fire from spreading.
Dressed in red light armor during the day, he and the Anseong infantry stood guard on the inside of the city gate, waiting for the battle.
He volunteered to join the defending forces, whose mission was to break the gates and resist the attack to the death.
Daylight nervously looked at the city gate like a heartbeat, imagining that the blood puppets outside had gathered under the city walls, and as soon as the city gate was broken, they would come in and kill.
He couldn't see the battle outside, only the screams of the charging soldiers and the flaming boulders whizzing overhead.
Listening to the loud sound of the battering ram hitting the city gate, Bai Tian held the fire sword tightly, he had experienced many battles, but he had never been so nervous as at this time.
His original intention was to kill the blood puppet, but now that reason seemed to be the least important, behind him was a city, surrounded by comrades who shared life and death.
The Red Army was on the lookout all over the street, and everyone had some hope for life.
Daylight suddenly realized that he had little role in this war, and like every red-armored soldier around him, he would naturally become a corpse.
All wars are made up of countless corpses, and everyone is equal in the face of death.
The city gate is like a heart after a race, beating and beating.
In the next second, however, the sound of battering rams pounding against the gates was gone, followed by a heart-rending scream, like the dying howl of a wild beast.
The smell of burnt wool spreads in from outside the door, like burnt wool that is disgusting.
Just now, the barbarian giants advanced under the city walls, and the battering ram kept hitting the city gates.
On the city wall, the city lord of Ancheng commanded the soldiers to pour the hot oil prepared in advance, and the hot oil poured out along the city wall, pouring on the two barbarian giants in front, and the hot oil drilled into the gaps in the armor.
The two barbarian giants fell to the ground with a wail.
The two surviving barbarian giants abandoned the battering ram, tore off the straps on their bodies, and slammed into the city gate like crazy, and the destructive power was surpassing that of the battering ram.
As the gates crumbled, the second round of hot oil allowed the two remaining barbarian giants, and a waterfall-like hot oil flowed down the helmet, sealing the giant's mouth and throat.
Without even screaming, they were cast into two angry iron-colored statues.
The rain of arrows from the ranged troops of both sides was still coming and going, and five hundred archers of the Red Cloud Army lined up on the city wall, firing bows and arrows, and the water boats were among them.
Most of the siege ladders were ignited by the Red Cloud Army's precise rockets before they could get close to the walls, disintegrating and collapsing in the thick smoke.
Eventually, the first day of fighting continued until the sun went down, with casualties on both sides.
Anseong crumbled in the twilight, but struggled to hold on.
The Tianji Empire's Armored Iron Army retreated to a safe place beyond the reach of arrows, lighting fires, repairing siege equipment, and strengthening equipment for the next battle.
The brief lull lasted only one night.
In the early hours of the next day, more fierce fighting broke out and stopped at noon.
Anseong is more tenacious than anyone imagined, and this seemingly one-sided war may last for a long time.
After the two confrontations, the number of soldiers in Anseong was less than 2,000, and the civilians who continued to join in served as defenders of the city.
Standing on the city wall in the daytime, those dense enemies looked like they had not diminished at all, and their fighting spirit was high, and the confidence of the soldiers on the side of the Anseong city wall was almost worn out.
Shui Xingzhou looked tired. "This is war, exhausting everyone. ”
Bai Bai said: "Why are we working so hard, don't tell me anything to defend Anseong, I don't believe this, and the city lord is not that kind of person." ”
Shui Xingzhou replied: "Because of a hope." ”
"What hope?"
The boat raised its hand to the south. "Reinforcements, they're coming from that direction. ”
Bai Tian leaned on the city wall and said with a look of disgust: "That's nothing." ”
"Trust me," he said, "there will be." ”
