That night, the drums thundered and the shouts of killing shook the sky. But the cathars, who had been holding on for many days, finally launched a siege war. When Egnaqi found out, he immediately took a group of generals and set foot on the city. As far as the eye can see, there are endless torches.

A large number of figures rushed to the moat. Due to the excavation of the cathars for several days, the entire moat has been drained. Large patches of silt, exposed straight to the bottom of the river. Many small fish and shrimp did not have time to retreat and stumbled in the deep mud.

But then he was pushed by the cathars and buried at the bottom of the river.

Naturally, the defenders on the city walls will not look at it! As a result, the arrows rained constantly, but most of them were stopped by the prepared cathars.

"Egqi! Immediately gather 3,000 troops and stop the enemy from filling in the sand. Egnaqi looked at it with a calm face for a while, and then commanded out loud.

"Ah?!", he was suddenly ordered, and Egqi was still a little surprised.

"Huh?!" Seeing that Egqi questioned his order, Egnaqi immediately looked at him with a bad face.

"Let's do it!" , Egg's heart immediately tightened, and he hurriedly responded.

It was not until it disappeared from sight that Egnazi ordered the new generals to guard the city gates. At the same time, head to the nearby city gate to see the offensive there.

In an instant, the west gate where Eggy was located burst open.

Click··· The sound of the chains turning became louder and louder. Then I saw the wooden bridge erected high, and it quickly slid down. It's solid wood, heavy as a rock. So the chains that hold it together are all pulled and clicked.

Until there was a bang, like thunder on the ground. The entire ground covered with sand and gravel also trembled. The Apologists, who were frantically filling the sand on the other side of the river, were unsteady on their feet.

"Quick! Archers ready! As soon as Hetosabel saw the drawbridge lowered, he said loudly. It's just that most of the troops he led were surrendered, and in order to prevent private confluence, the cathars deliberately broke them up. Not only are the tribes different, but they also don't understand the language.

So when I heard his order, half of them didn't understand it for a while.

Fortunately, all the people of the Shah tribe were assigned to his account. Therefore, the Shah tribesmen who were the first to react hurriedly gathered around him. Some of the main forces of the cathars, who were in formation, also whipped their whips, and quickly rushed over.

On the other side, after the drawbridge had come to a complete halt on the drawbridge, Egge, who had hastily assembled his troops, ordered the whole army to rush over.

Although he knew in his heart that this war would be a life-and-death event. But thinking about his family in the city, he had to take risks. With a cold face, he stared at the cathars who were getting closer and closer.

"Put!" , Hetoshabel shouted. The people who had already pulled the Hyun were immediately relieved. Listen to the swishing sound of breaking through the sky, and the arrows are ignited, as if they are about to cut through the dark night.

"Block!" , without Eggqi saying more, the soldiers below raised their shields one after another.

However, the effectiveness of Rahuo'er's military workshop is limited! In addition, strategic resources such as iron and copper are also relatively scarce due to the lack of mining capacity and the Governor's Palace. Therefore, Egnaqi's army cannot be equipped with iron armor and shields.

This makes many people still use wooden shields. There are even people who use temporary door panels, iron pots and even soft cushions.

So under the archery offensive of the cathars, they all became little sheep without resistance.

For a while, the soldiers who were hit by the arrow were also like dumplings, and they fell off their horses one after another.

Eggy is lucky! Although there were stray arrows shooting at him, they were blocked by the iron armor on his body and the soldiers who guarded him. Even the war horse under the crotch also protected the key parts with iron armor. So he rushed to the other side with no loss of speed, brandished his spear, and slashed at the nearest cathar.

"Kill!" , Hetoshabel also urged the war horses below and rushed towards Egqi and the others. He knew in his heart that the reason why the cathars used them as the main force to attack the city was for the purpose of cannon fodder.

Although it sounds more cruel! But in this day and age, it is a common means. Therefore, even if Hetoshabel knew, he did not dare to work or contribute. And not only him, but almost all the soldiers present knew the intentions of the cathars.

But this only made them even more desperate to survive.

Because after the cannon fodder survives, it is very likely to be completely accepted by the new forces. And the big ship of the cathar army is fast and steady that can be seen with his own eyes. Therefore, under the psychological effect of the immortal friends of the dead and poor Dao, the soldiers of the surrendered army worked harder to express themselves, firmly believing that they could live to be accepted by the apologists.

Li Chengji sat in the rear, looking at the battle ahead, thoughtfully.

Although this was a feint, it was the largest number of troops invested since the cathars came to the city. The entire 120,000 surrendered army was almost all thrown in. Although the combat effectiveness is still relatively unsatisfactory, the overwhelming sea of people offensive will still make people feel great pressure.

It was also the last battle of the Khyber Pass, although it also consumed a lot of surrendered troops. However, the subsequent rout of the Delhi army led to the Cathar taking many more prisoners. One decrease and one increase not only did not reduce the number of surrendered troops, but on the contrary increased by half.

These are still the troop counts of the cathars after deliberately removing the wounded. Otherwise, it can be two to three percent more.

After all, it's the age of cold weapons! Therefore, the death and injury rate is far from reaching the scale of later generations. And in many cases, soldiers do not die on the battlefield, but after being wounded, they lose treatment and cause other causes such as wound infection or excessive blood loss.

Because of this, Li Chengji was not too surprised when he learned about the huge number of troops surrendered.

But there are too many of them, and it's always a nuisance. As soon as the supply of grain and grass is concerned, it will certainly increase greatly. Even if the cathars were to be deliberately reduced, it would be a huge amount. and guard them, and divide the troops.

This makes the cathars always unable to exert all their strength.

Therefore, sending them to the battlefield to be cannon fodder is simply the best.

Of course, the value of the use must be maximized. Like filling in the moat, it is the first step. Siege equipment such as catapults, ladders, towers, and artillery will also be gradually advanced.

The main force of the cathar army in charge of pressing the formation! When there is an obvious favorable opportunity on the battlefield, he will not hesitate to resist the offensive of the surrendered army and enter the city of Rahuo'er.

However, at present, the war has only just begun. Therefore, the favorable timing of the battlefield has not been revealed. Most of the main forces of the cathars also stayed in the rear, quietly watching the siege of the surrendered army.

Egnazi, who was patrolling the city, couldn't help but be a little desperate. For the gates of the city on the west, north, and south were all under fierce attack. Only the eastern wall leading to Delhi was quietly and deliberately spared by the cathars.

Although Egnaqi did not know the tactics of encircling the Central Plains without one, his keen intuition of the battlefield told him that it was not a good thing for the cathars to deliberately leave this wall behind.

Therefore, he rejected the idea of his generals and sent the eastern defenders to the aid of the other three walls. And sent an army of 1,000 people out of the city to check.

"Governor! The infidels are digging the foundations of the city! A commander came to Egnaqi and said in a loud voice. His armor had signs of smoke and fire, and the cathars were already on guard.

"Do you know what their purpose is?" , Egnaqi subconsciously thought that the cathars were digging up the city wall. But from the experience of fighting the cathars many times, it is likely that the purpose of the cathars is not so simple.

Because if you want to dig down the city wall, it is obviously not possible to do it in a short time. So when you think about it, it's hard for the cathars to do such a thankless thing.
