The pinnacle duel between the two famous generals was destined to be a bloody and cruel battle, just under a small Awa military village, the Western Xia army and the Western army launched a decisive battle.

The Western Xia army is good at field warfare, it does not mean that it is not good at siege warfare, this war, Brother Richard is bound to win, he did not start the siege war at the beginning, but all the siege equipment of Shuo Fang was transported, not only that, but also cut down the surrounding trees, and began to build siege equipment suitable for attacking the Awa army village according to local conditions.

There is only one side of the Awa military village that can be attacked, and it is a very long slope, and the attacking side is very difficult to push the siege equipment forward, in order to fit the siege equipment to advance, Richard ordered the soldiers to use giant trees and stones to transform the road.

On very sloping roads, giant trees and stones are used to transform them into steps with a distance and a suitable height, so that every step forward of the siege vehicle, nest car, and bucket car is like going up a step, which is stuck, very stable, advancing step by step, without worrying about sliding, and without too many soldiers pushing behind, so that the offensive efficiency is greatly improved.

For five days in a row, the Western Xia soldiers were busy, and there was no attack at all, but the more this was the case, the greater the pressure on Liu Fa who defended the city, he knew that Brother Richard was doing this, that is, he was approaching step by step, advancing little by little, once he reached the range of attack, these siege equipment would play a huge role, it seemed that this Brother Richard was going to forcibly attack the city and use the Wa army village as a battlefield for a decisive battle.

Liu Fa ordered the soldiers to place trebuchets under the walled city, so that the distance of the attack was advanced more than a hundred paces, not only that, but also dug a lot of trenches, these trenches are not very deep, but very wide, not only can block the enemy's attack, but also placed a large number of crossbowmen, here to forcibly snipe the enemy, but because the gate of the Wa army village was blocked, so the crossbowmen outside are equivalent to death squads, there is no possibility of survival at all.

The fierce Western Army is not afraid of death, and as soon as they go to the battlefield, they are like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they only know how to kill the enemy bravely, and they have never thought that they will have any way out.

On the seventh day, the siege battle finally began, and the leader was the fine seal Yanhu, this guy led three thousand warriors of the fine seal tribe to act as the vanguard of the attack, these soldiers carried ladders, pushed the nest cart, the bucket cart slowly advanced, and the catapults on both sides were ready.

When the Western Xia soldiers were two hundred paces away from the walled city, the catapult crossbow began to wield its might.

Because the space above the walled city is too narrow, all ten bed crossbows are placed under the city wall, which indicates that once the Western Xia soldiers attack the bottom of the walled city, these bed crossbows will become the trophies of the Western Xia army, but Liu Fa has no way to do it, so he can only use the bed crossbow at the beginning, hoping to take the initiative.

Attack, with the sound of a low bull's horn, the catapult began to throw dozens of pounds of stones at the opponent's position. The bed crossbow also came into play, and just like that, you went back and forth, and the offensive and defensive sides launched the first round of tentative attacks.

The goal of the catapults of the Western Xia army was very clear, that is, to attack the wall of the Awa army's wall, as long as the defense on the wall was destroyed, then the balance of victory would tilt over. With such a large area of the wall, there is no need to aim at all, as long as the distance is enough, the effect will automatically come out.

Comparatively speaking, the goal of the Western Army is much more troublesome, that is, to destroy the enemy's siege vehicles, nest cars, and bucket vehicles, so that the target is relatively small, and every launch needs to be aimed, and the speed of launch is quite slow, which is very different from the stormy strikes of the Western Xia Army.

The western army on the walled wall has long been accustomed to this kind of long-range attack of trebuchets, one by one they hid early, the casualties were not very large, but the walled wall was destroyed badly, in the face of this high-density, all-round coverage of the stone bombardment, the walled wall has undergone a huge test, although it was scarred, but still immovable.

After seven or eight empty times, a huge nest car was finally hit by a stone, and the whole nest car swayed a few times before falling heavily, killing dozens of Western Xia soldiers at once.

With the first, there was a second, and the third was smashed. With the car nest car was smashed, the long-range attack of the trebuchets on both sides was also coming to an end, because at this time, the Western Xia soldiers had advanced to the forefront, and the archers of the Western army began to exert their might, and the dense crossbow arrows built a powerful defense system.

The crossbow arrows flying in the sky were like soul chasers, taking the lives of countless Western Xia soldiers, and this group of Western Xia soldiers went forward one after another, and the people behind stepped on the corpses of the people in front of them and continued to attack the front.

At this moment, many huge holes have been smashed out of the walled wall, and it looks so embarrassed, but fortunately, the catapults and bed crossbows are all under the city, otherwise they would have been defeated a long time ago. Still, there were huge defensive holes in the dilapidated wall.

At this moment, Liu Fa was fortunate that the powerful crossbowmen had built the first and strongest line of defense, and repelled the attacks of the Western Xia army again and again. Although the Western Xia army occupied the initiative in this battle from the beginning, it never reached the bottom of the walled city and was blocked by dense crossbow arrows.

After three hours of fruitless attack and more than 1,000 casualties, Richard finally ordered the troops to be withdrawn, in his opinion, this blind siege method obviously could not take this Awa military fortress, and it seemed that he still needed to think about new combat strategies.

Today is only the first day, the wall was bombed in pieces, it can't last for a few days, Liu Fa on the defensive side finally saw the power of Brother Richard, there are still five days away from the time of Liu Zhongwu's arrival, and how to defend in the next five days has become the top priority.

Obviously, as the first general of Western Xia, Brother Richard could not remain unchanged when attacking the city, and should have devised different plans to carry out the attack, which gave Liu Fa the biggest problem, how to hold on for these five days.

It's not a way to stick to it, and if it doesn't work, take the initiative. After making up his mind, Liu Fa asked Li Junke to lead a thousand death squads to go down to the city overnight, ambush in the trenches, and when the Western Xia army came over, they launched a surprise attack, launched a close combat, and repelled the enemy's attack.

Sure enough, the next day, the Western Xia army changed the routine of the attack, they gave up the long-range attack of the trebuchet, after all, the wall has been almost smashed, at this time, to increase the speed of the attack, to kill the wall, can be regarded as direct and effective.

The crossbowmen of the Western Xia army launched an attack with dense crossbow arrows to cover the charge of the soldiers, and there was no nest car today, and all the soldiers charged, obviously wanting to increase the speed of the attack.

Charge, the Western Xia soldiers are like a group of tigers descending the mountain, with a rapid charge, dodging the crossbow arrows, after hundreds of dead and wounded, the Western Xia soldiers finally charged to the front of the trench, they were greeted by a thousand Western army death squads, the two sides tore together.

Once you get caught up in melee killing, crossbow arrows are useless, because it's easy to accidentally injure your own people. The two forces engaged in a bloody and brutal melee in this small space.

At the beginning of the melee, the brutality of the Western Xia soldiers and the bravery and fearlessness of the Western army can be said to be played to the fullest, the space is too narrow, and the number of people is too large to be unleashed. You can only see the soldiers falling continuously, and the blood stains the earth red.

Brother Richard is like a sculpture, he doesn't care about the life or death of the soldiers at all, he is just paying attention to the changes in the battlefield and seeing how to adjust the offensive routines in order to finally take the Ah Wa military village.

Looking at the rows of soldiers falling, Liu Fa's mood became heavier and heavier, he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong this time, you must know that if Liu Zhongwu couldn't feel it in time, his 30,000 soldiers were destined to be wiped out, and this Ah Wa army village was a dead place, and there was no possibility of escape at all.

However, I can't think about it so much now, and the most important thing to consider is how to defend in order to be able to defend the Wa military village. Today is only the second day, the war has reached such a cruel point, it is not easy to hold it, either there is foreign aid, or there is a miracle, otherwise this military village will definitely not be able to stand it.

The soldiers are tearing and killing, and both sides are shouting and cheering, but because of the small space, too many troops can not be used, so they can only fight such cruel and bloody hand-to-hand combat, fight for the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, fight for the desire of the soldiers to kill the enemy, and fight for the steely consciousness.

The advance of the war made Richard see the dawn of victory, and he knew that if he wanted to take the Wa military village from Liu Fa, it was definitely not an overnight thing, he needed to be patient, and the attack needed to have a routine.

The melee battle lasted until it was getting late, and as the attacking party, Brother Richard Ming Ming withdrew his troops, he saw the fierceness of the Western Army, and also saw how cruel this siege battle would be. If this style of play continues, even if the Wa military village is taken, there will be major casualties, after all, the gap between the forces of the two sides is not very large, plus the Western Army is brave and good at fighting, this vicious battle, the winning side will also be a miserable victory, not even a victory.

After two days of tentative attacks, Richard clarified his thinking, that is, if he wants to take the Wa military village, there is only one way, that is, to completely destroy the wall, and then slowly destroy the will to fight of the Western army, and then trap it to death and strangle it.

Time, Richard has time to consume with the opponent, he is not worried about the attack delaying time, but to minimize casualties.

On the third day, the offensive began, and the trebuchets, this time all the trebuchets were pulled out, and as for the stones, the proximity to Niutou Mountain was inexhaustible, and there were enough stones to strike at the wall.
