The cold wind was bitter, wolf smoke was everywhere, and snowflakes were falling one after another, covering the vast land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The calm and silent ice fields of southern Tigris are now full of fighting and killing.

The million-strong army of the Northern Alliance, like an ice storm, swept in, and Huncheng, Fengling, Tumen, Xuejiling, Wolf City, and Nanli were fiercely attacked.

A brutal battle has finally begun!

In the southern ice fields, raging storms and powerful beasts can easily take the life of an adult, and the walls of the Wikipedians have been built very tall to withstand the harsh environment.

In the face of the coalition's sharp siege methods, the Wikipedians stationed in the city relied on the tall and sturdy walls to put up stubborn resistance.

Whenever the walls were blown down by the Vanguards, they sprinkled the walls of the city with melted snow mixed with mud, which soon solidified into a solid wall of ice.

At the same time, those subordinate races that live in the city and rely on the Wikipedians, such as the Luo, Xian, Gan, etc., are also willing to fight for the Wikipedians, although they are not as strong as the Wikipedians, but they are more than enough to help defend the city.

The harsh environment is also a huge test for the Northern Coalition Army.

Many people were unable to hold their weapons because of frostbite on their hands, so they had to tie their palms tightly together with rags.

The uncertain storm also made the airship unable to rise normally, losing the advantage of air supremacy, making it much more difficult to siege the city. At night, hungry beasts roam the camp, and if they are not careful, they will rush into the camp and take the soldiers to fill their stomachs.

Faced with these predicaments, the generals of the various armies decided to drop oil fire mines into the city. This kind of oil fire and thunder is very powerful, when Sang Nan saw it, he felt that it hurt the heavens and peace, and he had explicitly forbidden the whole army, and it could not be used until the critical moment. Now that the attack has been frustrated, their own losses have been heavy, and everyone can't care so much.

However, the flaws of this oil fire mine are also obvious, because of the excessive weight, the maximum firing range is only more than 200 meters. Therefore, to use it to attack the city, it is necessary to venture into the range of the opponent's attack, and the soldiers of the Destroyer Battalion know this, so they have the Northern Coalition make many simple siege vehicles.

The shape of this siege vehicle is roughly similar to that used by the Assyrians at the beginning, with wheels at the bottom, about 10 meters high, covered with heavy leather, and soldiers on the bottom of the cart, loaded with siege soldiers, who can use crossbows and longbows to suppress the soldiers on the city walls.

These improvised siege engines were crude and rudimentary, but their main role was not to siege the city, but to attract enemy attacks, covering the Destroyer battalion behind them to throw oil and fire mines. The clumsy siege engines braved a rain of arrows to slowly approach the opposing walls, and the soldiers of the Destroyer Battalion hid behind them, assembled improvised trebuchets, and threw oil mines filled with fire oil at the opposing walls.

Soon, in the sound of several huge explosions, the city quickly turned into a sea of fire, and the city defense soldiers in the fire could not bear the pain, and they jumped off the city wall with screams.

Seeing this, the Northern Coalition showed a cruel and hideous smile, and they waved their weapons high, and rushed to the city that had been unarmed and full of gunsmoke in front of them.

In this way, after the fierce competition between the two sides, the six cities around Qianlong City fell within a few days, and a large number of corpses were once again piled up inside and outside the city walls, on the ice field. Only a handful of Wikipedians fled to Dragon City with their subordinate races.

The corpses were soon covered in heavy snow, and 600,000 Northern Coalition troops entered the Six Cities, forming a left and right encirclement of Qianlong City.

At the same time, Yerenbai led hundreds of thousands of troops, under the noses of the defenders of Kui and Miao, swaggering, driving straight in, and forcing towards Qianlong City.

Seeing this, the defenders of the two cities of Kui and Mi had to lead their troops out of the city to intercept, but they lost the support of the city wall, and their fate can be imagined, and they were finally seized by the people in vain and annihilated outside the city.

In this way, Qianlong City was surrounded on three sides by the northern army, leaving only the only way to retreat in the south.

…………

Qianlong City, in a majestic palace, at this time the crows were silent, and the atmosphere was as solemn as death.

An extremely tall figure, sitting quietly on a stone chair covered with snow-white animal skins, remained motionless for a long time, like a sculpture.

Inside the palace were several huge braziers, which were burned with reddish coals. The light of the fire dispelled the chill around him, but it could not warm the cold heart.

After a long time, Xiao Shile opened his slightly squinted eyes, and his deep gaze slowly swept over several gray-haired old men opposite.

These old men are sturdy and imposing, but it's a pity—

Alas...... Xiao Shile let out a sigh.

Hearing Xiao Shile's sigh, an old man said with a sneer: "Patriarch, are you afraid? ”

"Bold!"

"Stone, don't talk nonsense!"

"yes, what kind of person Shile is, you don't know?"

……

As soon as the old man's voice fell, he provoked a burst of accusation and persuasion.

"Humph! Today, unlike in the past, our opponents are no longer the faint and weak. The old man named Liang Mushi didn't care about everyone's reaction at all, but continued to sneer:

"Perhaps, some people are really cowardly!"

"Haha!" When everyone heard this, their expressions changed greatly, but when they saw Xiao Shile laughing, he got up, slowly walked to Liang Mushi, and said proudly:

"Uncle Shi, I, Xiao Shile, have lived so long, experienced countless battles, and been injured no less than twenty times, which time was not an escape from death? So you're using the word cowardice in the wrong place. ”

"Then what are you still thinking about?" The old man was noncommittal and asked stubbornly.

A hint of bitterness appeared on Xiao Shile's axe-like face, "What I'm worried about is the future of the Wikipedia. ”

"The future of the Wikibets?" Liang Mu Shi was stunned.

"Uncle Shi, you said that over the years, we have been fighting everywhere, what is the purpose? Is it to show the world how strong we are? ”

"Of course not, we're fighting to change the fate of the Wikipedians." Liang Mushi's eyes burned, and he said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Xiao Shile smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "But I found that Uncle Shi seems to have forgotten about these for a long time!" ”

"Nonsense! How could I have forgotten! ”

"So, what is Uncle Stone worried about? Are you worried that I will surrender to my opponent? ”

"This—" Liang Mushi was stunned.

"Perhaps, Uncle Shi, or all of you, have their own pride in their hearts, but what is our pride? Is it a strong body, unrivaled strength, or an invincible record? Just now it occurred to me that maybe it is this pride that makes us always want to change our fate by conquest, and what is the result? But it backfired. ”

"What would the result be if you did it another way?"

Inside the main hall, there was silence again...... (To be continued.) )
