Chapter 431: Siege

On the green prairie, the earthy yellow Great Moon Royal Court seemed to be incompatible with this grassland, and then for the Great Moon Clan, this was a strong fortress built by their generations of talents.

In front of the earthen wall of the Great Moon Palace, the Qin army sappers were already busy, they took the wood prepared in advance from their horses, picked up all kinds of bells and whistles and began to thunderbolt and rumble something. Soon, several rudimentary ladders took shape in the hands of these people.

When marching on a fast horse, it is definitely not possible to bring enough siege equipment, even if it is impossible. There is a lot of grass on the grassland, but there are obviously no giant trees to make siege equipment. These ladders were just tools used to attract the attention of the Great Moon soldiers, and the real killing move of the Qin army was gunpowder.

"Up."

Li Chen waved his hand, and saw that the vanguard of the Qin army had already rushed up with a cloud ladder. Immediately behind the ladder were countless dismounted cavalry. The cavalry of the Qin army is different from the steppe peoples of the Dayue clan, they have horses as cavalry, and horses as infantry, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than when they have horses.

Seeing the Daqin soldiers rushing over with the cloud ladder, the Dayue soldiers on the city wall were a little confused. It has always been the cavalry of other nationalities looking at the city and sighing, and this kind of cavalry turned into infantry siege battle, this is the first time they have encountered it.

At this moment, Ye Ming had already come to the city wall, looking at the Qin soldiers who rushed over like hungry wolves under the city wall, which made Ye Ming can't help but feel a little frightened. I haven't fought this kind of battle, let alone that he hasn't fought it, I'm afraid most of the generals of the Otsutsuki clan haven't fought such a battle.

"Bang."

"What are you doing in a daze, release arrows."

Ye Ming reacted quickly, kicked on the stunned soldier, and scolded angrily.

As soon as Ye Ming shouted this, the Dayue soldiers on the city wall also reacted, and shot towards the city with bows and arrows.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The arrows broke through the air, and countless arrows fell like locusts, but fortunately, the Qin army was familiar with such a siege battle. At first, I was afraid that there was the protection of the Qin army's shield soldiers, and there were also Qin army infantry raising round shields around the cloud ladder to assist in defense, and the arrows of the Dayue people did not bring great casualties to the Qin army.

Soon the army of black dragons reached the bottom of the city, and the ladder was erected on the wall, and the soldiers under the ladder climbed towards it.

"Hurry up and release the arrows, release the arrows quickly."

Yale shouted at his soldiers, and the Dayue soldiers hurriedly fired arrows at the climbing Qin soldiers.

"Ding, ding, ding."

It's just a pity that the soldiers of the Qin army who climbed up all protected themselves with a round shield in one hand and climbed up with the other. When the arrows landed on the round shield, they only made a clanging sound, and could not effectively kill the Qin army.

To say that this Otsuki clan is really a group of fools, against the soldiers on the ladder, it is obvious that stones and gold juice are more useful than arrows. Stones, it's a pity that there are no on the grassland, if you can find enough stones, the royal court of the Otsuki clan will not be an earthen wall but a stone wall. As for the golden juice, although there is no shortage of raw materials, the grassland people, who usually use barbecue as their main cooking method, cannot understand what the operation of boiling is.

Seeing that the Qin army was about to climb up, and this Ye Ming was also a wise person, he looked at the corpse of the soldier who died in the confrontation with the Qin army next to him, and commanded the people next to him. Drop the corpses down and smash them.

Ye Ming gave the order, and the Otsuki soldiers immediately picked up the corpses on the city wall and threw them down. Although there is some resistance to throwing the corpse of a companion, it is better than being helpless.

Sure enough, it worked. The corpse of more than a hundred catties was obviously much more useful than the arrow, and the corpse smashed on the round shield of the Qin people, and the huge impact force immediately smashed the Qin army down the ladder.

"Bang."

"Boom."

"Bang."

"Boom."

The battle between the Qin army and the Dayue clan seems to have become a turn-based game, the walls of the Dayue Royal Court are not high, and there is also grass under the city walls, and the Qin army that was smashed down was only broken bones and tendons, and it was not life-threatening. Finding that there was no danger to his life when he fell, Qin Jun naturally played away, and began to climb up one by one, while the Da Yue clan kept throwing the corpses down.

"Don't lose me, I'm not dead, I'm just hurt."

Soon, the corpses on the walls were discarded, and some of the Otsuki soldiers began to pay attention to the wounded soldiers on the ground. After all, with Otsuki's medical conditions, the lightly injured soldiers are still fighting, and the seriously injured don't seem to be able to escape a single word of death. It's all death anyway, so why not make some contribution to Otsuki before he dies.

The attack on the ladder was just a cover, and the real killing move was the Qin army that was burying explosives in packets on the edge of the city wall. It's just that now the attention of the Otsuki people is attracted by the soldiers on the ladder, and they don't notice these few soldiers who have placed explosives.

"Is the explosives bag placed?" Li Chen asked at Wang Li.

"Alright, a whole five hundred explosives packs. It would be a waste to deal with this broken wall. Wang Li said indignantly.

The power of gunpowder is clear to everyone, how can this small broken city wall withstand the power of five hundred explosive packs. Under the 500 explosives packs, not to mention the earthen wall, even the stone wall or the brick wall is falling apart. Maybe only the fortress built by Daqin with steel bars and cement can resist the power of the explosive pack.

"Mingjin, let the soldiers in front of you retreat." Li Chen said to the herald.

"Go, go, go."

As soon as the sound of gold sounded, tens of thousands of siege troops swarmed back, just like the tide of the ebb tide, and the speed was simply lightning fast, and even the ladder on the city wall was not needed.

"What kind of fame is Qin Ren doing?" Ye Ming stood on the city wall and looked towards the retreating Qin army in the distance.

"Boom."

Ye Ming, who couldn't understand the intentions of the Qin army for a while, could only take the cloud ladder left by the Qin army to vent his anger, and he pushed the cloud ladder on the city wall down. Then, with a bang, the ladder fell to the ground and broke into several sections.

Seeing this scene, the Dayue soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded one by one, this, that, why didn't they think of overturning the cloud ladder just now, this method is obviously more useful than them fighting for so long

On the city wall, these Otsuki soldiers all had different expressions, and the expressions on their faces were more ugly than the other, as if they had been swallowed by flies.

Hey, it seems that the IQ has been crushed by the Qin people again.

The sound of gold fell, and the retreating Qin army formed several phalanxes and assembled in front of the earthen wall of the Great Moon Royal Court. It's just that now they have changed from horseless infantry to horse-owned cavalry, and they have made a posture of charging at any time, as if the walls of the Great Moon Royal Court will suddenly collapse in the next second.
