Chapter 756: Siege

As soon as Zhang Dafa's order arrived, tens of thousands of archers on the city wall immediately aimed the bows and arrows in their hands at Zhao Tian, and the sharp long arrows, with the sound of the whistling wind, shot towards Zhao Tian's body, although most of them could not reach the distance where Zhao Tian was, but the overwhelming arrows also frightened Zhao Tian, and immediately turned the horse's head and galloped towards the Chinese army where Zhao Wouji was.

Seeing that Zhao Tian had returned to the Chinese army's big tent, Zhao Wouji did not hesitate at all, and waved his big hand and said: "The first legion will attack, the Guards legion will prepare, and the Guards will guard both sides to prevent the Tiecheng army from going out of the city to attack our flank." ”

As soon as Zao Wou-ki's order was reached, dozens of commanders who listened to the order around him were ordered to leave, and the earth-shattering drums began to resound throughout the heavens and the earth, and one by one the phalanxes of 10,000 people, under the cover of the two-meter-high shield soldiers, and under the encouragement of the drums, slowly galloped towards the direction of the iron city.

Seeing that Zhao Wouji threw 300,000 troops into the battlefield at once, Zhang Dafa, the guard officer of the Iron City, frowned, closely followed the dynamics of the 300,000 Zhao Jiabao army, and when the 300,000 troops of Zhao Jiabao entered the range of the Iron City's bow and arrow, he said to the adjutant beside him: "Order the archers to attack!" ”

As soon as Zhang Dafa's order was issued, countless thousands of archers defending the city drew their bows and shot arrows, pouring sharp long arrows towards the Zhaojiabao army under the city, facing the dense army of Zhaojiabao that occupied the entire space under the city, the archers in the city did not need to aim at all, as long as the bow and arrow in their hands were shot, they could hit an army of Zhaojiabao.

It's a pity that most of the arrows shot down from the city were blocked by the shield soldiers in front of the First Legion, using the two-meter shield in their hands, and the small half fell into the dense formation of the Zhaojiabao army, and most of them were blocked by the iron armor and iron helmets on the soldiers of the First Legion, and could not penetrate the iron armor and iron helmets on the soldiers of the First Legion.

Zhao Hu established a weapon manufacturing factory in Longhai County, a primary science and technology plane, and with the support of a large number of high-quality steel and a large number of machinery and equipment in Longhai County, he manufactured countless iron and steel weapons and armor, and armed all the legions in his territory to the teeth.

You must know that ordinary cold weapons are very simple to manufacture on the earth in the 21st century, and in the primary technology plane, where the technology is far more developed than the earth in the 21st century, it is even easier to manufacture cold weapons, so the warehouse in Zhaojiabao is full of all kinds of cold weapons.

Of course, the cold weapons stored in Zhaojiabao's warehouse are all ordinary iron and steel weapons, and none of them have reached the black iron level of equipment, let alone bronze and above equipment, and black iron bronze and above high-grade equipment is the direction and ultimate goal of Zhao Hu to open a cold weapon manufacturing factory in Longhai County.

Because they were armed to the teeth by iron and steel weapons, therefore, in the face of the arrow rain attack of the soldiers defending the iron city, the 300,000 people of the first legion, the formation was not chaotic, under the dense rain of sharp arrows, carrying siege equipment, shouting and galloping towards the city wall of the iron city.

Except for a few unlucky people who were hit by stray arrows and couldn't be protected by armor such as joint eyes, the rest of the soldiers all arrived under the walls of the Iron City smoothly, and launched a fierce attack on the walls of the Iron City along the ladders and other siege equipment on the walls.

Seeing that Zhaojiabao's army was so well-equipped, and the arrow rain attack of tens of thousands of archers did not achieve the desired effect, Zhang Dafa's brows furrowed, and he said to the adjutant beside him: "Push the rolling wood, pour the oil!" ”

As soon as Zhang Dafa's voice fell, he saw a guard pushing down the huge rolling logs on the city wall, and pouring a pot of hot oil from the city wall.

Although the counterattack of the guards of the Iron City was very fierce, the soldiers of Zhaojiabao were numerous, coupled with the excellent equipment and high morale, and soon some of the forward soldiers boarded the city wall and became entangled with the soldiers defending the Iron City, and launched a fierce battle.

Seeing that his soldiers easily captured the city wall, Zhao Wouji, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, showed a hint of joy on his face, waved his big hand, and the drum shook the sky, as the second echelon of the 100,000 guards, in the sound of drums that resounded through the world, lined up in ten neat phalanxes, and galloped towards the city wall of the iron city, wanting to help the first army capture the iron city in one fell swoop.

Zhang Dafa, who was standing above the city wall of the iron city, saw that Zhao Wouji had put all his forces into the battle, and at the same time, thousands of Zhao Jiabao's vanguard personnel had already boarded the city wall and launched a fierce fight with their own soldiers defending the city, every second countless soldiers lost their lives and were killed by sharp weapons, his face changed slightly, and he said to the adjutant beside him: "Don't hide it, immediately put the strong crossbow magic crossbow magic sleeves into battle, and immediately open the attack magic array hidden on the city wall, Defeat the first wave of Zhaojiabao's attack. ”

Hearing Zhang Dafa's words, seeing the tense situation in front of him, the adjutant nodded lightly and immediately went down to order.

After a while, nearly 10,000 soldiers in Zhaojiabao successfully climbed the city wall and occupied part of the city wall, opening a safe road for the Zhaojiabao soldiers to climb the city wall.

Just when Zhao Wou-Ki thought that his army could easily capture the Iron City in one fell swoop, the huge ballistas were pushed out by the defenders of the Iron City, aimed at the Zhaojiabao soldiers on the city wall, and launched an attack.

At the same time, an army wearing gray robes, or holding a magic crossbow, or holding a few magic roll sleeves, launched an attack on the Zhaojiabao soldiers on the city wall.

Under the attack of the strong crossbow magic crossbow magic roll sleeves, more than 10,000 Zhaojiabao soldiers who climbed the city wall were all wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, the strong crossbow magic crossbow magic sleeves above the city wall began to pour towards the Zhaojiabao soldiers below the city wall, killing and wounding a well-equipped, high-morale, and extremely brave Zhaojiabao mercilessly.

Zhao Wouji, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, saw the originally smooth siege battle, and suddenly entered the fierce battle, and his own soldiers were under the attack of the opponent's strong crossbow magic crossbow magic sleeves, and suffered heavy casualties, even if he successfully captured the iron city, the loss would be very serious, so according to the original plan, he ordered his subordinates to withdraw the troops, and suddenly, a crisp sound of Mingjin sounded above the battlefield, and a soldier named Zhaojiabao began to retreat in an orderly manner.

When Zhao Jiabao's troops all withdrew from the battlefield, Zao Wou-Ki left 5,000 soldiers, holding white flags to disperse the battlefield and collect the corpses of his own combatants, while Zao Wou-Ki himself led the army back to the camp, quietly waiting for news from Zhao Hu, while actively increasing the defense of the camp, making a posture of besieging the iron city for a long time.

When Zao Wou-Ki commanded an army of 400,000 to attack the Iron City, Zhao Hu had already led 5,000 Guards to march day and night, successfully bypassing the Iron City and entering a descending mountain near Zhangjiabao, the old nest of the Temple of the God of War.

"Young Master, are we going to attack Zhangjiabao today?" Looking at Zhao Hu in a cyan robe, Zhao An asked softly.

"Well, the soldiers are very fast, we will attack Zhangjiabao tonight. This operation is related to whether we can achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, therefore, I decided that tonight I will infiltrate the inner fort of Zhangjiabao alone, and use stealth to assassinate Zhang Kai, while you will lead a hundred high-level warriors to sneak into Zhangjiabao, take advantage of the night to open the gate of Zhangjiabao, welcome the other 5,000 guards into Zhangjiabao, and completely master Zhangjiabao. Hearing Zhao An's question, Zhao Hu said lightly with a calm face.

"Young Master, isn't it a bit dangerous for you to sneak into the inner fort of Zhangjiabao alone and assassinate Zhang Kai? Why don't you go in with you? As soon as Zhao An heard that Zhao Hu wanted to risk his life, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"No, you sneak into Zhangjiabao, open the city gate at night, and welcome the guards into the fort is very important, and there is no room for mistakes, if you are worried about my safety, you will introduce the guards into Zhangjiabao as soon as possible, so that my safety will be greatly guaranteed." Zhao Hu's determination has been decided.

"Alright! I listen to the young master! ”

Zhao An saw that Zhao Hu had made up his mind and could not change it, so he said helplessly, and secretly decided that he must introduce the guards into Zhangjiabao as soon as possible to attract the attention of the people in the fort and reduce Zhao Hu's pressure.

In the middle of the night, the darkness of the night covers the land, and most people have fallen into a deep sleep, enjoying the taste of sweet dreams.

At this time, Zhao Hu led the five thousand guards to quietly leave the hill and gallop in the direction of Zhangjiabao.

When he was three miles away from Zhangjiabao, Zhao Hu left most of the guards behind, let them quickly kill Zhangjiabao after receiving the signal, and then took Zhao An and a hundred high-ranking warriors to sneak towards Zhangjiabao, and quietly bypassed the gate of Zhangjiabao, along the wall of Zhangjiabao, found a corner to avoid, and climbed over the wall.
