Yang Mu sneered and immediately issued an edict condemning Sheng Guo for violating the covenant.

Although Sheng Guo explained in every possible way, he still couldn't change the fact of breach of contract, and he had no choice but to put all his hopes on the Jin State, and the Jin State was busy attacking the Chu State in the south, and more than a dozen countries responded one after another, and the situation was very good, how could he waste his energy for such an artemisia grass that Sheng Guo couldn't support?

On March 25, Cangguo officially declared war on Shengguo.

Suddenly, the people in Sheng were panicked, and the hidden Jinyi Wei forces received a large number of official votes, and almost no one in Sheng believed that Sheng would win this war.

The Vermilion Bird Legion and the Xuanwu Legion, with a total of 500,000 troops, approached the border of Shengguo, and the Qilin Legion also waved north after receiving the holy decree.

With the convenience of concrete roads and tracks, the march of the Qilin Legion was even faster, and the journey of more than 500 miles was only a day's work.

Such a speed can be called a miracle in the history of the march, and if it is spread, absolutely no one will believe it.

All the soldiers are very optimistic, and the morale is also very strong, if it was two years ago, it may take a lot of effort to take Sheng Guo, but after two years of eliminating the other, Sheng Guo is already vulnerable in front of the powerful Cangguo army.

This was a war with overwhelming superiority, from the beginning of the official siege of the city on March 27, the two main army corps divided into two routes, devastating the withered and decaying, and conquered three cities in one day, the Sheng army did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, and the strong city walls, which had always been pinned on high hopes, were also under several siege weapons, useless.

"Vulnerable ......"

Han Tong stood on the commander's chariot, looking at Dongyang City from a distance, it was a sunny day at this time, and he could see everything in the siege.

"I really don't know what the Ministry of War thinks, is such a declining country worthy of my three major legions to be dispatched together?"

Han Tong shook his head while looking at it, this was already the third city he had attacked, judging from the strength of the enemy troops encountered, he even thought that as long as the Vermilion Bird Legion was a legion, it would be enough to annex the entire Sheng Kingdom.

The 200,000 army is still well-equipped, and with the assistance of many terrifying siege weapons, if it can't reach the Shengguo Imperial City, then the Vermilion Bird Legion will be in vain.

After all, it is not necessary to attack every city to destroy a country, as long as the road to the hinterland of Shengguo is opened, even if the sea is wide and the fish leaps into the sky and the birds fly, even if Shengguo has more government soldiers, it will not be able to block his 200,000 army.

This is not to underestimate the enemy, objectively speaking, it is.

"Marshal, the soldiers are ready." Beside him, the herald hesitated for a moment and reminded.

"Well, give the order for a siege." Han Tong nodded.

As soon as the herald's command flag waved, the generals from all walks of life received the order and began to move their troops and horses according to the formation.

"Knock knock—"

On the upper floor of Dongyang City, a row of big drums sounded, and the defenders of Shengguo were waiting for it.

"Boom—"

There was a loud bang, just smashed on the city tower, the drum suddenly stopped, and several young players who beat the drum, one of them was smashed to a blur of flesh and blood, and the rest were also affected, suffering heavy blows, vomiting blood.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

There was another series of loud noises, and the trebuchet fired stone bullets, most of which fell on the city wall, killing and wounding countless people, and the row of war drums on the city tower had long since disappeared, and even the city wall had collapsed for a while, and there was a tendency to spread.

The screams of shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground broke out among the defenders of Dongyang City, and the soldiers looked at the stone bullets that were constantly thrown, completely frightened.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, all of the defenders of Wintersun City took a breath of cold air.

"That's ......"

"Oh my God, how can there be such a monster in Cangguo!"

"Are we really just facing the Suzaku Army?"

On the city wall, the teeth of all the soldiers chattered, and the cold air came out of their backs, and even the generals who commanded the defense were stunned for a while, holding the sword in their hands and not knowing that they were frozen in mid-air.

It is no wonder that the defenders behaved like this, because at this moment, behind the military formation of the Suzaku Legion, dozens of catapults were launched, and they were slowly approaching Dongyang City.

Obviously, this is because the Suzaku Legion is not satisfied with the speed of the siege, so it pushes all the catapults that were not prepared to be put into the city before.

A dozen catapults have already made the city crumble, if dozens of them are on the same page, how much will this go?

With the strength of the more than 80,000 defenders of Dongyang City, it is extremely difficult to hold Dongyang City, there is no chance at all, and it is necessary to wait until the reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that Dongyang City has fallen for a long time, and the Vermilion Bird Legion will rush to another city.

In this way, Sheng Guo's reinforcements can only be exhausted, and sooner or later they will be dragged to death.

This situation is entirely possible, because in today's Cangguo army, every soldier carries a large amount of dry food, compressed bread and instant noodles, which is simply an artifact for marching and fighting, so that the Cangguo army does not have to be troubled by logistics, and its combat effectiveness soars, and the speed is extremely fast.

"Bang Ga-"

At this moment, a series of stone bullets flew towards Dongyang City, densely packed, at least twenty or thirty at a time, all of which smashed on the city wall.

The city wall, which had long been overwhelmed, finally collapsed in its entirety, and some soldiers who were more or less inferior fell down one after another and were buried under the bricks.

Rout!

The two armies had not yet formally engaged in battle, and the defenders of Shengguo had already retreated on all fronts.

Although the rout is not the same as the rout, but all the defenders have gone down the city wall, but it is an iron fact, many of the means of defending the city that have been prepared with great effort before, none of them have been used, and even the boiling water and dung juice have all been poured on the bodies of their own soldiers, causing a lot of casualties.

No one dared to stand on the edge of the wall, because even if more people stood together, it would be a matter of a big stone.

"Fire! There's fire—"

There was a shout, and it turned out to be a stone bullet from the catapult, and a raging fire was ignited.

This is not new, when a simplified version of the catapult was used a long time ago, Cang Jun did this, and this technique is not complicated, just a layer of cotton wool wrapped around the stone bullet and then poured with pine oil.

Dozens or hundreds of fire bombs fell, and the Sheng army no longer had the fighting spirit.

The moat had been almost filled with collapsed walls, and once the enemy charged, with cavalry and crossbow chariots, the defenders had little to fight back, and there was no hope of defending the city.

Even if they were well-trained regular troops, they would not dare to confront the Cang army again.

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

The horn sounded, and the Suzaku Legion launched a general attack.

There was no need to go up to the siege tower, it was directly a cave cart and a goose cart, which were pushed forward by the soldiers, and approached Dongyang City little by little.

From Yili to Baizhang, the Suzaku Legion did not suffer a single casualty, all the way to the edge of the moat.
