Chapter 402: The Great Emperor Has Fallen! (Above)
The warhawk soars across the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops besiege the main city, and finally the warhawk lands on the shoulders of an Iron Eagle scout. The Iron Eagle Scout's face was strange, he took down the note, hurriedly walked towards Chu Tian, and whispered in Chu Tian's ear.
Chu Tian looked at the words on the note, and he couldn't understand it at all, it was all in Russian.
How did the Eagle Scout of Iron Eagle bring back a note in Russian?
Even the Iron Eagle scouts felt weird, so they had to ask Chu Tian to adjudicate.
Chu Tian still knows a little about English, but for Russian, Chu Tian can only recognize that this is Russian, and as for the meaning he wants to express, Chu Tian can't understand half a word.
"Are there any Inhumans who can speak Russian?"
Chu Tian faintly realized that this note might be helpful to him.
"I will."
As a person who is committed to expanding in the Tianshan Mountains and Central Asia, Huo An actually knows Russian.
He took the note and slurred: "The person who wrote this note asked, are you dead now?" ”
“……”
Chu Tian probably thought of someone who wrote the note, but how could she put the note in the yellow cylinder of the war eagle to transmit information?
"You help me write a note and ask my servants to send an army to raid the north at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I will join him."
Chu Tian estimated the time to occupy the main city yesterday and asked Huo An to write it.
He wanted to take an adventure with his own horses. Even if he exhausted his forces, it would not be a fatal blow to the Han army defending the city, and if it succeeded, the siege would be lifted.
Huo An wrote hard, but he was very skeptical that Chu Tian would obey Chu Tian's orders in a condescending tone, and he would be contemptuous of the lords from the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
"Trust me."
Chu Tian insisted on ordering Catherine with a high attitude, otherwise she would not have come to support.
"I really don't understand you."
Huo An pinned his hopes on Chu Tian, but was puzzled by Chu Tian's decision.
The warhawk was sent out.
Chu Tian's attention returned to the outside of the city again.
Now the goal of the battle is clear - hold on until 4 p.m.!
Chu Tian broke through the main city at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, so this point in time is the time for the city defense to be refreshed.
The four civilizations outside the city didn't know that the city defense would be refreshed......
Here's the chance!
Chu Tian sent a message to the rest of the princes, informing them that there might be a turnaround at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Use the undead army!"
Ardashir of the Persian Empire seemed to realize that something was wrong, and he sent the undead army to serve as the main force of the siege, and a group of heavy infantry wearing masks appeared, with double chain armor and round armor, and their bodies were tall, and they were the Praetorian Guards of the First Emperor of Persia! Battle of Thermopylae, the undead army kills the Spartan warriors!
With the undead army dispatched, all the infantry of the Persian Empire was shocked. The Persian Empire was longer than cavalry and shorter than infantry, and cavalry could not exert its original combat capabilities during siege.
"The Persian Empire actually sent an undead army!"
The desert lords of the Arab Empire found out that the Persian Empire had sent its main forces into battle, and knew that the Persian Empire intended to do everything in its power. The Han army is strong, and the city walls are strong, so you really can't take it if you don't play with your life.
The Desert Lords sent a large number of light infantry. The situation was similar to but different from that of the Persian Empire, which had a large number of light infantry and lacked decent heavy infantry.
The terrifying thing about the infantry of the Arab Empire is that it is fanatical and faithful, ignoring pain and fighting until it is killed!
Chu Tian and Huo An dealt with the Ottoman Empire in the north, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei against the Mughal Empire in the east, Lao Qin and Shuo Tang against the Persian Empire in the west, Zhao Long and Xu Fengnian against the Arab Empire in the south, and Mu Ke and Zhang Dao as reserves. Zhang Dao used the population of the main city to convert the population into the Yellow Turban Army, and exploded the army crazily!
It takes a little time to move into the Yellow Turbans.
In short, the longer the time, the more beneficial it is for the Han army.
After the various empires had suffered a setback in their offensive, once the Han army had become stronger, they would weigh whether to continue attacking the city.
Chu Tian could only choose to trust his teammates, and the biggest enemy on the northern wall was the Janissary Legion. The Janissary regiments were trained infantry and archers.
Compared with the Arab Empire and the Persian Empire, the Ottoman Empire had a powerful infantry corps, and the pressure on Chutian's side was not small. Fortunately, the Western Route Army raided the Ottoman Empire, and Chutian sent the White Robe Legion and Wei Huo to attack and weaken the Janissary Legion.
The Janissary legion, under the command of dozens of generals, drove a large number of servant armies to attack the city!
"Use the captured Songhai Imperial soldiers!"
Chu Tian still has a hole card in his hand, and that is the captured Songhai Empire tribal soldiers!
Although the tribal soldiers looked very ordinary, Chu Tian also captured several tribal wizards, whose rank was lower than that of the Great Wizard Heroes, but they could also strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Songhai Empire's tribal soldiers!
Tribal wizards have clay on their faces, hold wooden staff in both hands, and chant words. The native soldiers bowed to the wizards reverently, and their physiques began to swell, their waistlines widened, and their muscles became stronger!
"It seems that each civilization has its own characteristics......"
Chu Tian saw the strange rituals of the Songhai Empire, and it was obvious that their heroes could improve the physical fitness of their soldiers, and thus their combat effectiveness.
However, wizards are only effective against African tribal troops, otherwise Chu Tian will ask wizards to strengthen the legions of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Songhai Empire tribal soldiers were used as cannon fodder by Chu Tian to go toe-to-toe with the Ottoman Empire's servant legions!
……
Catherine ordered a group of boye cavalry and Cossack cavalry to stop and recuperate.
"Huh? Why did he order me to send troops with such a condescending attitude? ”
The war eagle rested on Catherine's shoulder and cleaned its wings with its beak.
When Catherine saw the note from Chutian, she was furious and directly tore the note to pieces.
"Lord Duke, how are we to act? Now the main city in the west is a meat grinder, and even if we wait until all sides suffer heavy casualties, we may not be able to capture the main city. Wounded civilizations will certainly join forces. ”
In the eyes of Adjutant Sophia, the main city in the west has become a chaotic battlefield, and any civilization that dares to end up will be bitten back by the five great empires that have gone crazy.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow was really no match for the five empires that suffered heavy casualties.
"Continue south, arrive at the battlefield at 4 p.m., and raid the Ottoman Empire."
After Catherine calmed down, she decided to go south.
"But you just ......"
"I am here to defeat the Ottoman Empire and create an opportunity for us to control the Caucasus in the Overworld, not to aid the Han army."
……
Rumble!
When the two warships met, the flanks of the Viking longship were violently hit by the building ship, the Viking longship shook violently, and a huge crack appeared in the cabin, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin along the crack!
The fire of the Han army's sailors and soldiers was overwhelming, and the fire bolts hit the masts, canvases, and barrels of the Viking warships, and the fire spread rapidly, forming a raging fire!
Smoke billowed from the thirty-meter-long Viking warship, and Vikings and sailors choked on the smoke had to jump into the water to escape.
Dozens of sinking and burning Viking ships floated on the sea, broken planks were scattered on the sea, and there were dozens of Viking longships captured by Han sailors and then divided among the seven princes.
The Han army numbered thousands of ships and encountered a small group of Viking pirates. Even though the Vikings were stronger in individual combat, the Han army relied on the numerical superiority of the warships and the power of the fire arrows to gnaw at the Viking squad.
The Han naval divisions that attacked the fifth main city by water were more successful, and they had not encountered any decent opponents so far.
Vikings are their most threatening enemies, and they belong to the special classes possessed by the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish civilizations of Northern Europe.
The Han army sailors also don't know which civilization has sailors, or whether Nordic has been unified.
In short, when encountering a weak fleet, the Han army did not hesitate to destroy it and capture the booty. After the Han army on land provoked several large empires, the Han army on the waterway also provoked the Nordic civilization.
"This is a type of Viking warship that can carry 70 to 80 crew members, has a shallow draft, is fast, and has a nimble steering, making it ideal for plundering. However, from the perspective of civilization as a whole, such open-decked warships are outdated, not only can they not provide an effective defense against sailors and soldiers, but they are also wet and cold at night, and freezing to death is common. ”
The Bronze Sparrow was not very interested in the Viking ships.
Ships of different civilizations have different shapes and structures due to their different needs. The Viking longship, which was very important to the Vikings, was not practical at all in the eyes of the Eastern Han princes such as Tongque, and even thought that the Viking warships were obviously backward.
Generally speaking, warships have a tendency to develop to multi-decks, and the soldiers of Viking warships did not cover their heads, and after the baptism of arrows of the Han army, the Vikings suffered heavy casualties.
"How far are we from the island of the fifth main city?"
"About a hundred nautical miles left."
"We've already circled around the big island, and if the fifth main city has been captured by ships from other civilizations, it will be a big problem."
The Han army sailors also had their own troubles.
The distance between the small island where the fifth main castle is located and the large island is not far away, so even the building ships and fighting ships can barely fight. In the battle of Baijiangkou between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, the ships of the Tang Navy Division crossed the ocean to the Korean Peninsula.
The problem was that the Han navy had to go around half a circle to reach the island.
After annihilating this small group of Vikings, the Han naval division continued to march in the direction of the island. The Viking longship, which was not very valued by the Han army, became a dispensable trophy, and the Han army divided a small group of sailors to operate the Viking longship. If necessary, the Han army could also use the Viking longship as a fire attack ship.
The allied forces of the Nordic countries, gathering nearly a thousand warships, patrolled the vicinity, and the goal of the Nordic countries was the same as the Han army - to fight for the fifth main city!
For the Nordic countries, it is not realistic to compete for four main cities on land. Just the main city in the west, the six great empires fought because of this, and the casualties were measured in 100,000.
The coalition forces of the Nordic countries could not afford hundreds of thousands of casualties, and they could only put their hopes on the navy. The navy of the combined Nordic nations may be able to take a main city.
However, there was a patrolling Viking fleet that was not heard from at all.
When the Nordic coalition sent a detachment to search for the missing Viking fleet, it was discovered that the Viking fleet of thousands of people had been wiped out!
The Vikings who were rescued in the sea where the Viking detachment was destroyed claimed that they were attacked by a powerful naval division. This division of the Navy used Oriental-style warships, and the number of warships was about two thousand!
"There are not many civilizations in the East that are capable of having so many warships. The Mughal Empire in India was huge, but almost entirely infantry and cavalry. Dongying, Goryeo, and Annam exerted their national strength to come up with 2,000 warships. However, Dongying, Goryeo, and Annam still valued the infantry, unless they chose to completely abandon the infantry and cavalry in this national war and only brought the naval division. But this is obviously impossible. ”
"Then the answer is about to come out, this is the ship of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only they have the strength to divide two lines of soldiers and horses, and act at the same time!"
"They're so greedy, the fifth main city can't give them anything. The fifth main city was set up for our ocean civilization, how could we give it to a continental civilization! ”
"The news came out that 2,000 Eastern Han warships were about to fight for the fifth main city, which made the English, Spaniards, Dutch, and Venetians panic. I think they will be eager to jump out and fight the Eastern Han Empire for the main city. ”
The lords of the Kingdom of Sweden were also very insidious.
The number of ships in the Eastern Han Dynasty was twice that of the allied forces of the Nordic countries, and the news that 2,000 Eastern Han warships had entered this sea area spread like a plague, and all the fleets of maritime civilizations in this sea area were shocked.
The scale of two thousand warships, large and small, simply cannot be hidden.
The sailors of the Han army are like lions, while the rest of the maritime civilizations are wolves.
It's too big, and it's very swaggering everywhere you go.
For small and medium-sized civilizations, there is only hope if they join forces, otherwise the main city will definitely be occupied by the big civilization.
……
The battle in the main city in the west was at a stalemate, with hundreds of soldiers killed at every moment.
The Han army was defending tenaciously and not giving an inch. They are waiting for the time to repair the city defenses!
While the city defenses are repaired, there is a possibility that the Cossack cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow will surprise the Ottoman Empire!
The Ottoman Empire is currently the head of four great empires, because it was their great Suleiman the Magnificent who entered the war with the Ottoman Empire, and even the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire had to give him face!
The crazy Arab Empire believer soldiers climbed the city wall, the two armies of Zhao Long and Xu Fengnian were under tremendous pressure, and Wang Tiegun, who was originally injured in the battle with the Mughal Empire, forcibly went into battle, and the wound burst out!
While the soldiers of the Arab Empire were killed, they would attack the Han army in front of them at all costs, and the Han army suffered heavy losses as a result!
Fortunately, Xu Fengnian also had a sharp and skilled spear army by his side, and they lined up in a dense phalanx of spears to expel the Arab Imperial soldiers who landed in the city to the city.
"When will the city defense be repaired!"
Xu Fengnian saw the continuous loss of elite troops, although he already knew the exact time for the restoration of the city defense, but he lived like a year.
Not many civilizations are willing to be enemies of the Arab Empire, and the other side is like a mad dog.
The Han army was anxiously waiting for the time to pass......
