Thin snow fluttered across the city and the battlefield, quietly dyeing the whole world white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the plain white field, the undisguised attackers marched in a fairly neat formation towards the city walls - there was no need for them to put on white cloth and use the darkness as a second cover in the snow, because they were followed by huge siege engines.

The ability to build these siege towers, door-breaking pendulums and trebuchets was a great help in the money and equipment provided by the mysterious people. After a moment of emotion, the commander of the Southern Army ordered the trumpeters beside him to take the lead in blowing the horn of the march.

The sharp horn of the rhinoceros pierced the ears of all the attackers and defenders like an electric shock. Soon, bonfires and torches were lit on the walls and fields, and the figures of the heralds were clearly visible in the walkways and fields of the walls.

"The war has begun." Wang Liqun said silently in his heart. Although the grenadiers under his and Han Deshan's command were naïve, unskilled, and even more worrying, their safety was even more worrying, but at this time they really had to go into battle, and they were at the forefront of the battle line, becoming the fulcrum of the southern defense line in the siege war......

In a wooded area near the beach north of Port City, Marines in black combat uniforms moved their legs quickly without saying a word. Waiting for them on a level, hard ground outside the woods was a Z-18 transport/rescue helicopter still in white and red.

After the assignment was assigned, they had arrived here a day ahead of schedule, setting up a secure sea evacuation interface and route. After all, helicopters can't evacuate everyone, and most of them can get to the top of the castle by helicopters, but there is no way to retreat with them - a few kilometers away from here, in the harbor, there are already several ships of different styles, waiting for the mission to be completed to send the soldiers back to the safe and comfortable steel floating city.

"Their war began." The report of the concealed observation post came from the public radio, "It's just that the defensive pressure in the city is not very strong now, and our department still thinks that it is still not suitable to start the attack, over." ”

"Roger, our department will not attack for the time being, over."

One of the things that a commander must have is to be calm. This time, the "VIP rescue" operation is to "send justice from heaven" when the enemy defending the city resists the external enemy with all its might, and then withdraw perfectly before the enemy is caught off guard, rather than playing a beautiful "middle flower" for those friendly troops bought with money outside, and creating conditions for them to attack the city regardless of sacrifice.

In the face of a double siege, the order of one after the other is extremely important, and even directly determines the final success or failure of the operation.

"Focus on knocking out their corner towers and battlements near the city gates!" At the same time, the captain of the trebuchet of the Southern Army was supervising the soldiers to carry the stone projectiles of the trebuchet into the swing arm frame, and also reminded the soldiers to control the force of the trebuchet when cutting the rope, "The first round is just a test shot, and the second round will reward twelve silver coins for each time it hits the cannon crew of the city wall and the city gate tower!" ”

A rare bounty! Not only the trebuchets, but even the soldiers pushing the siege towers listened to these provocative promises, and they were eager to use the strength of their mother's womb.

"Just listen to those three horns!" Before the commander's voice reached the ground, the sound of an attack horn could be heard in the distance. He listened quietly for a moment, and then shouted as the third horn landed:

"Trebuchet shooting!"

The clatter of the ropes being cut and the hum of the wooden rocker as it swayed were instantly drowned out by the shouts and rushing of the soldiers beside them. These confident soldiers and commanders firmly believe that their weapons are elite, their shields are thick and their spears are sharp, and the port city in front of them may not be able to withstand their wave of onslaught.

The sparse stone bullets smashed on the stone wall, and the smoke and dust raised seemed to cover the sky, but it could not shake the foundation of the wall under the feet of Han Deshang and Wang Liqun even the slightest.

"Don't panic!" Han Deshang, who was hiding behind the battlements, had never seen this scene, although he knew that the probability of hitting him was quite low, but it was also a battle between them, "Hold on to the city wall!" Their trebuchets are not likely to be as accurate......"

Such agitation is naturally not very convincing. At this moment, it was his battle-hardened deputy who was more powerful than him. I saw him stand out and step on the battlements, and cry out: "Brothers! Take a good look at their trebuchets! ”

The soldiers stared blankly at where his sword was pointing, but they couldn't see any clue. The battles a few hundred meters away were still being wound and loaded at this time, without any signs of stagnation.

"Pull out the stuff in your crotch and take a look!" The deputy made a gesture of peeing under the city wall, "I don't think this thing is as good as the 'peers' in our crotch!" Hold on to your hands, and let these egg-shrinking soldiers from the south see who the real man is! ”

The soldiers who were crawling under the shields under the city naturally could not hear the provocation of the people on the city walls. The collision of the shield on their backs and the arrows was already all they had in their auditory world. And as long as they can rush to the bottom of the city walls, there will be a big question mark over the safety of the city gates.

This time, they have a secret weapon provided by the "mystery man" - a power that their superiors have seen up close. In front of it, the siege towers and trebuchets were all a front to confuse the enemy, as long as they could put the large cloth bag under the city gate, and then pull the rope and run out of the city gate, and the landslide and earth cracking explosion would instantly push the gate tower and the city gate out of the clouds, so that the army could drive straight into.

In their rear, the archers also worked hard to pull the arrows and let the arrows fly up the walls to suppress the soldiers who wanted to throw stones, pottery and torches downward. They are the last and most terrible obstacle for these death squads.

"Throw!" Han Deshang, who was frightened, turned his head to look at the soldiers approaching the city wall, and let out a big breath of evil anger. The soldiers beside him obeyed the order and began to pull out one coarse paper bag after another of rope from the bucket filled with fine sand, and the other soldier stood carefully behind them with torches.

At the slightest touch, the ropes at the front of the paper packet that have been twisted into the fine powder of gunpowder begin to burn violently. All the soldier holding it had to do was throw it with all his might.

"I don't want you to be thrown right in the middle of the enemy's ranks!" Wang Liqun also reminded his team again and again, "I just ask your hands not to loosen because of sweat and fear, and not to let the death that should have exploded outside befall you and your brothers!" ”

Paper powder packets fell from the sky in bright yellow lines of fire, and the sound of falling to the top of the shield was not loud. But just as the soldiers wondered what the drop was, the first scene of the Battle of the Two Sieges began.

Some arm-thick gunpowder packets tumbled between the gaps in the shields and fell into the pile. The soldiers instinctively dodged the burning object that had fallen into the pile, but it was too late.

Although black gunpowder is not enough to serve as a match for its juniors, its power is still amazing. Suddenly, explosions erupted in the death squad's formation, and fragments of flesh and broken shields flew everywhere......

Damn it. The heart of the commander of the Southern Army suddenly sank. Could it be that the "secret weapon" suddenly exploded in the crowd? However, so many explosions are obviously not the "one shot into the soul, the mountain collapses and the ground cracks" that those mysterious people showed him......

"The defenders of the city are also throwing gunpowder weapons! Now the troops who broke the door in advance have been dealt a serious blow...... The offensive is contained, no, no, they are fleeing! The troops attacking the gates are fleeing backwards, suffering heavy casualties......"

In just a few minutes, it was the low-light night vision device in the third-party observation sentry that took the lead in seeing the situation.

"Damn." The company commander, who was holding the microphone next to the helicopter, fell into hesitation, which was the last thing they wanted to see beforehand. Why did an explosive weapon that no one on the continent should have mastered suddenly appeared on the battlefield where they interfered?

Was it that there were ghosts in the Southern Army who sent these "artifacts" to the port city overnight, or ...... Or are those compatriots who now have no accurate information at work? The company commander could not have given more consideration, and his judgment was naturally to send helicopters with marines to set off first, immediately suppress the enemy forces on the city wall, and give the "friendly forces" a chance to break through the gap in the city wall.

In principle, it is contrary to the purpose of directly allowing helicopters to fight in front of the two armies, but the Chinese side has no choice but to do so at this time.

"Anyway, the front command agreed to this change of action plan."

The other side of the satellite phone was silent for a moment, but he also agreed to use his black hat to save the military adventure - in other words, if there were any unforeseen political risks after this, none of the bigwigs on the Liberation Ship of the New Life would have anything to do with it.

"After that, the port city and the South Rolluli side were the villains who illegally captured slave laborers and coerced women to carry out the leather and meat industry, and the church used special weapons to punish heaven......" The former finger only felt that the white hair on his temples was a few more handfuls in order to think about these fools, "I guess that's it." In addition, I think that the gunpowder explosion weapons on the front line of Hong Kong City this time are likely to have the shadow of Han Deshang and Wang Liqun, one of them is a former soldier, and the other is a teacher with chemical knowledge, so you should pay more attention to it......"

Chain-loaded door machine guns made a crisp click in the night sky, accompanied by a volley of helicopters. At this time, Han Deshang and Wang Liqun, who were selflessly lighting the powder cartridge, of course did not know that what they had ignited in their hands was actually the fire of purgatory that would eventually devour them.
