Chapter 657: Nail

"Put!" Seeing the 100,000 troops of Tian Hongguo's First Legion entering within 500 meters of the city wall in the north of Zhenbei, Zhang Jun, who was standing above the city wall and commanding the battle, immediately ordered loudly with a look of anticipation on his face.

With Zhang Jun's order, a hundred trebuchets took the lead in starting, and a hundred huge stones were thrown out by a hundred trebuchets, with huge kinetic energy and terrifying power, and smashed towards the arrow tower and the city crashing car pushed by the soldiers of Tian Hongguo's First Army.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With a violent roar, a huge stone, with terrifying power and huge kinetic energy, smashed down on the arrow towers and the crash trucks, directly smashed the arrow towers and the crash trucks, turned into countless broken wooden planks and flew over, the soldiers near the arrow towers and the crash trucks were grazed by the huge stones, their tendons were broken and broken, and they let out a terrible scream.

Immediately afterwards, two hundred crossbow arrays were launched in unison, and twenty thousand sharp arrows, with sharp edges and terrifying power, poured like a torrential rain towards the bottom of the city wall in the north of the town.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A crisp sound of metal collision continued to sound under the city wall of Zhenbei City, and the sharp arrows sent out from the crossbow array easily pierced the armor of a famous Tian Hongguo soldier and penetrated the body of his Tian Hongguo soldier, making it let out a terrible scream and become a cold corpse.

In the blink of an eye, a round of trebuchet projectiles killed more than ten arrow towers, more than ten crash trucks and hundreds of Tian Hongguo soldiers, and a round of crossbow array firing directly killed thousands of Tian Hongguo soldiers, so that the charge of 100,000 soldiers of Tian Hongguo's First Army was slowed down.

However, after all, Tian Hongguo is a country that has been fighting for a long time, and Tian Hongguo's soldiers have already looked down on life and death, and they don't care too much about the death of their companions.

Zhang Jun, who was sitting above the city wall of Zhenbei City and commanding the battle, saw the movements of Tian Hongguo's soldiers, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, shoot me hard, Lao Tzu has money, don't care about the consumption of stones and arrows!" ”

In the shouts of Zhang Jun, three thousand private soldiers of the Zhang family, who were well-dressed in fine armor and had high morale, let out an excited cheer one after another, and frantically launched trebuchets and crossbow arrays, pouring huge stones and sharp arrows towards the bottom of the city wall.

The rate of fire of the stone thrower is relatively slow, and although the stones thrown out are powerful, the number is extremely limited, and the damage to the scattered Tian Hongguo soldiers is not large, but the crossbow array is different.

The rate of fire of the crossbow array is extremely fast, and a crossbow array can shoot a hundred sharp arrows at one time, two hundred crossbow arrays can shoot 20,000 sharp arrows at one time, and the arrows on the crossbow array do not need to be loaded one by one, only need to replace the arrow magazine, therefore, the rate of fire of the crossbow array is extremely terrifying, regardless of the cost, regardless of the loss, two hundred crossbows continue to start, dense arrow rain, do not stop at all, tens of thousands of sharp arrows, like a torrential rain, It continued to shoot towards the bottom of the city wall in the north of the town, and carried out a covering blow to the soldiers of Tian Hongguo under the city wall.

Under the dense and non-stop arrow covering blow like a torrential rain, Tian Hongguo's 100,000 siege soldiers lost more than half of them in a short period of time, and could only retreat helplessly, away from the range of the crossbow array, and looked at the crossbow array above the city wall of Zhenbei City with a stunned and incredulous gaze.

"I didn't expect that there were so many trebuchets and crossbow arrays in Zhenbei City, and I don't know how many elite imperial soldiers would have to be sacrificed if I wanted to capture them!" Looking at the hundred trebuchets and two hundred crossbow arrays above the city wall of Zhenbei City, Marshal Tian Hongguo, who was riding on a war horse, frowned slightly and whispered to himself.

Marshal Tian Hongguo is no stranger to the trebuchets and crossbow arrays above the city walls of Zhenbei City, because they Tian Hongguo has purchased a lot of trebuchets and crossbow arrays, so they clearly know the power of trebuchets and crossbow arrays.

"Dashuai, there are a hundred trebuchets and two hundred crossbow arrays above the walls of Zhenbei City, we want to capture them, the cost is too great, it is too cost-effective, it is better to put down Zhenbei City for the time being, ignore it, and wait until our Nine Nations Alliance Army captures the imperial capital of the Emerald Country, and after the Emerald Kingdom is destroyed, it is not too late to surrender or capture Zhenbei City!" Just when Marshal Tian Hongguo frowned slightly and whispered to himself, a general of Tian Hongguo slowly approached Marshal Tian Hongguo on a war horse and said softly.

They Tian Hongguo sent 500,000 troops into the Jade Country, just a few rounds of attacks on Zhenbei City, they killed them Tian Hongguo lost more than 50,000 people, if they continue to attack, even if they capture Zhenbei City, they will lose more than 100,000 elite soldiers, which is extremely unwise for them.

You must know that although the nine countries of them jointly attacked the Emerald Country and divided the occupied area, if the strength of their Tian Hongguo was lost too much, then the interests of their Tian Hongguo would not be guaranteed in any way, and it was likely to be swallowed up by several other countries.

At the same time, although Zhenbei City is the largest city in the three northern provinces of the Emerald Country, the armed forces in the Zhenbei City are not strong, and at most they can only defend the city with the help of strong city walls and sharp war weapons, and they have no strength to go out of the city and fight with their Tian Hongguo army in the field, so for the time being, put Zhenbei City aside, and wait until the Emerald Country is destroyed, it is not too late to slowly clean up Zhenbei City.

Hearing the persuasion of the generals under his command, Marshal Tian Hongguo glanced at the corpses of tens of thousands of his own soldiers under the walls of Zhenbei City, as well as the dense sharp arrows on the corpses, nodded lightly and said: "Leave a wing to block Zhenbei City, prevent one person from Zhenbei City from leaving the city, block all the people in Zhenbei City in Zhenbei City, and the others will go to the hinterland of the Emerald Country with me to destroy the Emerald Country!" ”

After speaking, Marshal Tian Hongguo took the lead in leaving Zhenbei City on a war horse and galloped in the direction of the hinterland of the Emerald Country, and the general who persuaded Marshal Tian Hongguo also left Zhenbei City on a war horse with his troops and galloped in the direction of the hinterland of the Emerald Country.

Looking at the figure of Tian Hongguo's army leaving, the 30,000 soldiers wearing shabby armor on the city wall of Zhenbei City let out excited cheers one after another, while Zhang Jun, who was sitting on the city wall of Zhenbei City, showed a look of disappointment on his face, and his eyes were full of worry.

Although he Zhang Jun could use the strong walls of Zhenbei City and the war weapons purchased from Andy City's weapons shop to kill and injure a large number of Tian Hongguo's soldiers, he did not have the strength to go out of the city and fight with Tian Hongguo's army, so Tian Hongguo's army did not attack the city and ignored him, he could only stare dryly, without any way, he could only quietly watch the changes in the situation in the Emerald Country.

When Tian Hongguo bypassed Zhenbei City and led the army straight to the hinterland of the Emerald Country, the armies of the Liuli Kingdom, the Feishui Kingdom, the Tianheng Kingdom, the Anning Kingdom, the Crescent Moon Kingdom, the Tianyin Kingdom, the Roman Kingdom, and the Flowing Fire Country were also hit fiercely by local tyrant cities like Zhenbei City, and the losses were not small, so they could only reluctantly abandon these nail-like tyrant cities, and lead the army straight to the hinterland of the Emerald Country, and march in the direction of the imperial capital of the Emerald Country.

The thoughts of the marshals of the eight kingdoms of Liuli Kingdom, Feishui Country, Tianheng Kingdom, Anning Kingdom, Crescent Moon Country, Tianyin Kingdom, Roman Kingdom, and Flowing Fire Country are the same as Marshal Tian Hongguo's thoughts, and they don't want to lose too many troops for some inconsequential cities, so that the military strength under their command will be greatly reduced, so that the interests of the empire will be damaged.

After all, these nail-like cities have local tyrant families sitting in town, with a large number of war weapons, with the help of strong city walls, they can give them great damage, even if they capture these local tyrant cities, they will lose a lot, and the gains outweigh the losses.

They now let go of bypassing these tyrant cities, and when they free up their hands for the destruction of the Emerald Country, there are ways to solve these tyrant cities, so they are not in a hurry, just leave a small number of troops, watch these tyrant cities, and don't let these tyrant cities make trouble for themselves.

In this way, the marshal of the army of the Nine Kingdoms led the main force of the army of the Nine Kingdoms to the hinterland of the Emerald Kingdom and rushed in the direction of the imperial capital of the Emerald Kingdom, while Zhenbei City and other similar tyrant cities were like nails, nailed there, becoming a destabilizing factor in the occupied area of the Nine Kingdoms.

In the palace hall in the central area of the imperial capital of the Emerald Kingdom, Li Hongtao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked at the Emperor Long Kun of the Emerald Kingdom who was sitting on the main throne with a solemn expression and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tian Hongguo, Liuli Country, Feishui Country, Tianheng Kingdom, Anning Country, Crescent Moon Country, Tianyin Country, Roman Country, and Flowing Fire Country The millions of troops of the nine countries have entered the hinterland of the empire, and in two weeks at most, they will be killed under the imperial capital, we must plan early!" ”

Hearing Li Hongtao's words, Long Kun sighed helplessly, and said a little weakly: "Tian Hongguo, Liuli Country, Feishui Country, Tianheng Country, Anning Country, Crescent Moon Country, Tianyin Country, Roman Country, and Flowing Fire Country Nine countries jointly attack our Jade Country, how should we resist, what can we resist!" ”

The Emerald Country has been peaceful for a long time, the standing army and the border army are only two million, and the local army is only more than two million, and they are scattered all over the place, and it is very inconvenient to concentrate, in addition to the elite army of the empire, they were all evacuated by Long Kun and the three major families, and all ran to the hinterland of the empire to encircle and suppress Andy City, and there is no strength to resist the alliance of Tianhong Kingdom, Liuli Country, Feishui Country, Tianheng Kingdom, Anning Country, Crescent Moon Country, Tianyin Country, Roman Country, and Flowing Fire Country.
