Chapter 863 said that it was a good battle
Contrary to his wishes, Zasang underestimated the ability of Dalong's skilled craftsmen after all.
Although the Gumo defenders on the sand city immediately obeyed the order and hid behind the battlements and protected their bodies with shields, the defenders on the eastern city wall were only 10,000 at most.
There were only about 3,000 soldiers who could have shields, and the range of seven or eight hundred paces of the Eight Ox Crossbow could easily shoot crossbow arrows into the city wall at a distance of only three hundred paces.
The walls of Shacheng are not the walls of Dalong that are made of blue bricks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are built of earth and blocks.
The crossbow arrows of the Eight Bull Crossbow shot directly on the battlements, and the position of the battlements was filled with cracks, and with a little strength, the battlements would immediately roll down under the city wall!
Standing on top of the city tower, listening to the continuous screams of the brothers on the city wall, his face was gloomy, and he wanted to order the archers to fight back, but after looking at the distance of the Great Dragon army outside the city, he immediately gave up this unrealistic idea!
"General be careful!"
After a personal soldier pushed open Zasang and rolled down to the gate of the city tower, a loud noise came from the two of them just landing on the city tower, and the rubble scattered dust and smoke rolled.
Zasan shivered as he looked at the huge hole above the tower and the huge rocks rolling to the ground.
If it weren't for the pro-soldiers to push themselves away, I'm afraid that I would have become a pulp of meat a long time ago!
"Order our catapults to fight back at once, and the dragon is loading the second wave of stones!"
"Yes!"
However, what Zasang didn't expect was that the stones flying out of the city wall didn't even fly half the distance before they fell to the ground and rolled down, stopping more than fifty steps in front of the Great Dragon Army, and lost power!
Zhasang's face was a little ugly and he looked at the catapult phalanx of the big dragon, and the soldiers under his command condescended to use the catapult and didn't even reach the edge of the big dragon!
Ye Baotong asked the shield hand who was guarding in front of the Eight Bull Crossbowmen to withdraw, he was nervous but he didn't expect that the stones in Shacheng didn't even fly in front of him!
Glancing at the eight-bull crossbow that had been loaded and the catapult, Ye Baotong ordered again: "Release, three sections and ten rounds of non-stop shooting, don't let the enemy troops in Shacheng poke their heads out!" ”
"Order!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the guards of Shacheng who did not dare to show their heads and were suppressed by the catapult eight bull crossbows in the clairvoyant mirror, and put down the clairvoyant mirror in their hands.
The reason why Liu Mingzhi attacked the city with the whole army was to understand that the 150,000 defenders of Shacheng could not all gather on the East City Gate, and the whole army had an advantage in attacking the city than attacking the city separately, and Han Peng's cavalry could command the army to take the East City Gate with all his strength if the defenders of Shacheng went out of the city to attack him!
"Jiang Lei, now the guards above the sand city are suppressed and can't resist, and the city gate is up to you!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Lei held the command flag and rushed towards the team of the car that crashed into the door, and the commander pushed the catapult that was wrapped in iron armor except for a half-foot-sized catapult that could observe the enemy's situation and quickly approached towards the east city gate!
When Zasang saw the approaching car that crashed into the door, he immediately ordered the catapult to go down, and the catapult turned around with all his might to attack the door car.
Liu Mingzhi smiled coldly: "Xiao Jin, the herald Cheng Kaifeng commanded the sword and shield soldiers and archers to cross cover and approach Shacheng, and the arrow rain covered 160,000 arrows, and four consecutive shots in four sections!" ”
"Order!"
Liu Mingzhi continued to look at the situation on the wall of Shacheng, and the situation that the big dragon soldiers did not hurt even a single hair on the sand city made Liu Mingzhi very pleased.
There was a loud bang Liu Mingzhi hurriedly looked in the direction of the northeast corner of Shacheng, not knowing what was going on.
When the dust cleared, Liu Mingzhi sent the mirror tube and found that the battlement in the northeast corner of Shacheng was smashed by the stones of the catapult, and a corner was collapsed.
Liu Mingzhi thought for a moment: "Vice General Song! ”
"In!"
"Order Ye Baotong to turn half of the catapult and attack the battlements where the sand city collapsed with all his might!"
"Order!"
"Du Yu!"
"In!"
"Order Ning Chao to do everything possible to lead 150,000 auxiliary soldiers to hand over the soil in sacks to Duan Bu to lead 30,000 cavalry to fill in a road under Shacheng and let the cavalry rush up the city wall............"
"Dashuai, the city gate is broken!"
Before Liu Mingzhi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the scout's words, and he looked at the direction of the city gate in a daze, and was a little dazed to the point of not knowing what to do.
The hard-fought battle plan made by himself for three days and three nights without even half of it being arranged, and the city gate was breached?
"Marshal, order the whole army to attack the city!"
Liu Dashao suddenly came back to his senses: "Order Vice General Song to lead 10,000 Mo sword teams to assist the sword and shield men and archers to attack the city and kill the city wall!" ”
"Order!"
The drums of the attack were heard, and the heavy cavalry opened the way all the way into the east gate of Shacheng, and then the foot soldiers rushed towards the city like a swarm but assisted each other.
Liu Dashao was protected by hundreds of guards and scratched his head blankly and embarrassedly, looking at the city wall of Shacheng with a somewhat overwhelmed appearance!
"Du Yu!"
"Handsome?"
"How long have we been fighting? You told Ben Shuai that in fact, the war passed quickly, but Ben Shuai didn't find out, right? ”
Du Yu buttoned his nose and pointed to the sundial car not far away: "It's not half an hour!" ”
"It's not......... Are the 150,000 defenders all straw bales? couldn't resist him for half an hour, where did he get the courage to go head-to-head with Ben Shuai? ”
"Aren't you seeing it yourself in the clairvoyant mirror? Covered by a rain of arrows, no one dared to show their heads on the city wall suppressed by the catapult of the eight bull crossbows, and it was not natural to break through the city? ”
Liu Mingzhi looked blankly at the blank and helpless faces of the 10,000 auxiliary soldiers carrying siege ladders not far away, and couldn't help rubbing his face, when was the siege battle so easy!
The sound of fighting on the city wall brought Liu Dashao back to his senses.
"Order the three armies, disarm and not kill, not to plunder the people's property, not to *** women, and those who violate the order will be served by military law!"
"Order!"
Although Liu Mingzhi repeatedly warned the army not to make any moves that violated the identity of soldiers, he was afraid that some soldiers would forget the order like a wild horse that had broken off!
"Lay down your arms, disarm or kill!"
"Lay down your arms, disarm or kill!"
"Lay down your arms, disarm or kill!"
Three earth-shattering sounds rang out from above the city walls, piercing the sky.
Zasang looked at the siege of the city wall, surrounded by himself and his brothers, and the scimitar in the hands of the soldiers of the Great Dragon Kingdom fell weakly to the ground, and in the face of wave after wave of attacks by the soldiers of the Great Dragon Kingdom, 50,000 soldiers did not hold out for half an hour and were broken into the city.
Zasang's mind couldn't help but think of what Her Royal Highness the princess Gu Mo Rong Rong told him that his foolish loyalty would lead Gu Mo Kingdom into the abyss.
Before, Zasang didn't think so, thinking that he was waiting for the 200,000 reinforcements of the Wusun Kingdom to reach a big battle that was evenly matched, but it was only at this moment that he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.
"General Zasang, Dalong is not as weak as you think, Brother Wang's words will ruin Gumo Kingdom!"
Zha Sang, who had been thinking about Gu Mo Rongrong's words in his mind, laughed miserably: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to your advice!" ”
Zhasang looked at the dense and countless dragon soldiers standing inside and outside the city, his expression was complicated, and he watched as the banner on the city wall was replaced by the big dragon dragon flag and the banner of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate.
"Dashuai, our flag has been raised!"
Liu Dashao's complicated face clasped the hilt of the sword at his waist!
"How's it going to be a tough fight?"
