The failure of the first siege did not make Edward give up continuing to attack Zhenguocang. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info chapter update is the fastest For the first siege, Edward didn't say much. Although it failed, it also happened to test the strength of the garrison force of Zhenguocang. There must still be a lot of reserves in the city, but Edward believes that the troops in the city have shown all their cards. In addition to the large number of catapults and bed crossbows, the crossbows of the defenders are the most powerful. If Beichen still has any powerful weapons to hide, he will turn around and leave without saying a word.

The mass equipment of crossbows for armies, which is already unattainable by 90% of players. If there were still divine weapons, there would be no way to fight this war. At the same time, Edward identified an even more important problem. That's why there are so many troops here, and they are all elite troops. The size of the troops, as well as the fact that the city does not appear on the map, everything is unusual.

There were seventy or eighty thousand troops in the city, which was far more than the entire garrison of Beichen Kingdom in Annan County. However, they were defending such a city, which was not shown on the map. Moreover, when they landed in Annan County, this army did not go out of the city to resist their own landing. There is no doubt that this force must be the troops of the Beichen Kingdom, so they do not cooperate with the local defenders to block their landing, but they are defending this city. If you think about it this way, this city reveals countless mysteries. What is there in the city that actually makes Beichen Kingdom mobilize so many elite troops to defend?

The more Edward thought about it, the more interesting it became, and the more he wanted to take the city. There must be something very important to Beichen Kingdom in the city, and as for what it is, he can only find out when he enters the city.

The second siege began in the afternoon after the army had eaten. Only 360,000 of the 400,000 siege troops in the morning returned, and more than 35,000 died under the city, as well as more than 5,000 wounded soldiers. The morale of these troops had already taken a heavy blow, and it was impossible to allow them to continue the siege in the afternoon. So, Edward changed another 400,000 troops to attack the city, and this time all four walls were 100,000 troops. Edward didn't believe that the defenders of the city had not used their reserves, and as long as they had used them, the battle would have been declared victorious.

Unfortunately, when Edward was attacked by new troops, all the slaughterers in the city were withdrawn. Of the more than 34,000 soldiers who were on the city walls, only 30,000 came down, and 1,000 were wounded, and the rest of the 3,000 were all killed in the battle. This was only the first siege, and it was clear that the Lanna army outside was not using its full strength. After all, after a long march, their army immediately began to attack the city, and there was no rest at all, and their combat effectiveness was naturally not in its heyday.

The severed army went up to the city wall, 45,000 men and 8,000 on each wall, plus a mobile support team of 2,000 people led by Xiao Tou himself, and a reserve force of 11,000 people. Before going up the wall, all the soldiers of the Severed Head Army saw the brothers of the Slaughterer Army in the lower city. After staying together for a long time, they no longer have any army or army, only the brothers of the first division and the buddies of the second division. Many soldiers of the Slaughter Army, after seeing their acquaintances, are showing off how many people they have killed. They will not complain, they will not say anything righteous about killing the enemy and avenging the dead brothers. In their eyes, there is only the battle exploits composed of the heads.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Tucheng Army, who did not have any depressed mood, raised the morale of the severed head army in just a few words of showing off. After all, who doesn't want to make contributions to joining the army to fight, especially their group of earliest Beichen Army soldiers. The desire for merit is far greater than that of the standing army, which is often brainwashed. Xiao Chen never sent someone to educate them, and every time someone came from above, he sent a large amount of wine and silver.

For the Severed Head Army and the Slaughter Army, these old troops, Xiao Chen has not allowed the people of Jinyi Wei to install and brainwash them. In Xiao Chen's opinion, although these old troops were the ones that he had condensed with countless silvers back then. But that doesn't mean they're not faithful to themselves. Because, the severed head army and the slaughtering army have no military pay. Yes, there is no military pay!

Xiao Chen only has one sentence, for the brothers who work and manage themselves, they look down on the good brothers under me when they pay military salaries. There was no military pay, but the bounty silver brought from above from time to time still made the money received by the soldiers of the Slaughter Army and the Severed Head Army a year much higher than that of the rest of the troops. At the same time, it is precisely because Xiao Chen treats these old troops as brothers and treats them as brothers that the loyalty of the troops has been maintained at the highest. It can be said that everyone in Beichen Kingdom has rebelled, and neither will the Severed Head Army and the Slaughtering Army.

Honorably walking up the city walls, they did not have the slightest fear of war. From the moment he cut off his hair with his own king, and the moment he formed the severed head army, all the soldiers only had the strands of hair that grew under the Tianlong Terrace in their hearts. With that strand of hair stored under the Tianlong Terrace, all the soldiers of the Severed Head Army have been satisfied, because the strand of long hair that the king of his own family had cut off back then was also stored under the Tianlong Terrace. Therefore, death is not terrible, if you can die early, you will be able to see those old brothers who have died in the wars in the past earlier.

From the previous 300,000 severed head army, to the current 50,000 severed head army. The Severed Head Army has come all the way, and it is much more tragic than the Slaughter Army. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the severed head army fell on the road of the national charge, paving a national road to heaven.

There was no major surprise in the afternoon's battle, and although Lanna was menacing, it still failed to climb the city walls. It's just that I've been dangling outside the female wall countless times, and I'm always one step away from climbing the wall. In this battle, the soldiers of the Severed Head Army lost more than 6,000 people, and more than 100 soldiers were killed, and only a few hundred wounded soldiers. Such losses were undoubtedly much greater than those of the massacre army in the morning. However, this is also in line with common sense, after all, the Lanna troops who attacked in the afternoon did not just run over like the morning and began to attack the city without rest.

The siege of Zhenguocang lasted for two days, and on the morning of the third day, it was very unfortunate to be breached. In the past two days, except for the first day of the day, when the intensity of Lannaguo's attack was not high, that night was a full night. During the night, almost all of the catapult troops arrived, and the power of the bed crossbow was greatly reduced. Only crossbowmen, and they still maintain great lethality. It's just that the crossbowmen don't yet have the ability to explode instantly.

Like catapults and bed crossbows, during the daytime. Without waiting for the troops of Lanna to reach the city walls, they were able to destroy thirty or twenty thousand enemy troops. It was only a short ten minutes, and the crossbowmen had only killed the enemy killed and wounded by the catapult crossbow for ten minutes after a morning of fighting. It can be seen that the power of catapults and bed crossbows is still very large.

Having lost his bed crossbow and catapult during the night, Zhenguo Cang was killed on the city wall by Lanna's troops four or five times. In the face of the Lanna national troops, they are attacking everywhere, and they want to fight wherever they want. Luo Zhi and Xiao both had headaches in their heads. During the night, the delivery of messages is too troublesome, and many things are delayed. It was precisely because of this that the messenger could not arrive at the earliest, so that the soldiers of Lanna Kingdom climbed the city wall several times. Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the Severed Head Army and the Slaughtering Army was not bad, and they drove down the enemies who had climbed the city wall several times.

However, this morning, that is, the morning of the third day of the siege of Zhenguocang. Luo Zhi and Xiao really don't have the confidence to hold the city wall. Of the 90,000 officers and men of the two armies, more than 40,000 have fallen on the battlefield, and more than 20,000 wounded soldiers. There were only 30,000 men who could continue the battle, plus 10,000 soldiers and horses in the underground warehouse. There were still 600,000 troops outside the city, and in the two days of the battle, the Lanna Kingdom had lost 200,000 soldiers and horses.

The casualties of the Severed Head and the Slaughterer, as well as the Lanna* team, increased dramatically, all during these two nights. The night battle not only gave the Beichen army a problem, but also a problem for Edward. The huge casualties made Edward a little unbearable. Now Edward has long since lost the arrogance of threatening to capture the eastern city of Beichen when he first landed. Now his only thought was to take down the city in front of him and see what good things were in the city. Then, snatch the good things and run straight back to the country.

The spies have sent a lot of information, among which the western army and the rear army of the Beichen Kingdom have transferred 300,000 troops to support Annan County. Coupled with the more than 600,000 troops of the capital army near the capital of Beichen Kingdom, the strength of Beichen Kingdom will reach 1.2 million, far exceeding itself. At the same time, the sailors of the Beichen Kingdom have also been assembled, and they are only waiting for the order from above to arrive, and they will immediately fight a decisive battle with their own navy. For the decisive battle of the navy, Edward did not have the full confidence he had before.

The sailors of the Beichen Kingdom have now been temporarily reequipped, with more than 400 main warships. Among them, there are more than 30 building ships, more than 350 vehicles and ships, and the rest of the small warships have more than 1,000 ships. At the same time, the strength of Beichen Kingdom's sailors also increased from one million to one and a half million in an instant. With such a powerful sea force, it is no longer easy for oneself to win. You must know that among the two million sailors in Lanna Country, there are less than three hundred main warships. Unless you want to fight to the death with Beichen Kingdom, it is really not easy to defeat the Beichen Kingdom Water Division.

Naturally, Edward will not do it, and the main purpose of his attack on Beichen Country this time is to hope that under the surprise attack, he can quickly break the capital of Beichen Kingdom. Now that it is impossible to break the capital of Beichen Kingdom, there is no need for him to fight anymore. After all, in an all-out war with the behemoth of Beichen Kingdom, it is always yourself who suffers. Comprehensive strength is supreme, and there is still a difference of several streets between himself and Beichen Kingdom.

After a short siege, hundreds of thousands of Lanna's troops finally climbed the walls and stormed the city. However, the slaughtering army and the severed head army in the city did not completely give up resistance. They used the large number of crossbows stored in the Zhenguo warehouse, relied on countless civilian buildings, and launched even more tragic street battles with the Lanna army that entered the city.

After quickly rushing into a house, several Lanna soldiers were about to run into the back room to find out if there was any money, or if there were any beautiful girls. Who knows, as soon as they pushed open the back room, they found five or six wounded soldiers of the Beichen Army lying on a large bed. Behind the wounded soldiers, there were three trembling little girls.

The soldiers of Lanna Country did not dare to act rashly in the face of these wounded soldiers, and saw that the wounded soldiers of the Beichen Army were holding a black and shiny crossbow in their hands. For this thing, how could the soldiers of Lanna Country, who had been besieging the city for three days in a row, not know. It was this kind of crossbow that caused many of his brothers on his side to die on the battlefield. At the same time, they are well aware of the crossbow's performance.

The group was planning to slowly withdraw from the house first, and then call on the brothers to encircle and suppress the house when they were outside. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected protrusion, and before the soldiers of Lanna turned around, the door of the house behind them suddenly closed. Then two Beichen soldiers appeared, and these two soldiers had been hiding behind the door.

The crossbow in his hand shot crossbow arrows fluffily, and several soldiers of Lanna Country were shot through their bodies before they could shout. Subsequently, the two soldiers, who were able to fight normally, mended the stabbing of each of the fallen Lanna soldiers. This is just when the Beichen Army is lucky, and more often than not, the Beichen Army is very unfortunate to be killed by a large number of enemies rushing in. Whether it was the soldiers who were hiding in the shadows, or the wounded soldiers, or the women who helped take care of the wounded soldiers in the city, they were all killed.

It's just that this is not the only method of street fighting in the Beichen Army. Tens of thousands of intact soldiers were all in small formations and roamed around the city. As long as you meet a soldier from Lanna Country, you have to do it, regardless of how many enemies there are. In fact, for the Slaughter Army and the Severed Head Army, no matter how many enemies there are, they will dare to go up.

What is surprising is that a small street battle actually dragged down hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Lanna Country for a day. When Edward learned that the Beichen Army was fighting in the streets of the city, he was immediately shocked. Damn, it's been a day, why didn't you report to labor and management until now that you would fight in the streets? It's over!

As for the power of street fighting, Edward, a cadet educated by the Royal Military Academy of the United Kingdom, is naturally very clear. Street fighting is simply not something that the siege troops can fight, and the casualties are too great.

When the damage report came up, Edward closed his eyes completely. It's a day, and the loss of 100,000 troops in one day, and the number of Beichen troops killed is only 20,000. Of course, Edward flipped the table, these bastards, didn't they have troops arranged when they entered the city? Could it be that the troops all rushed in one go?

It seems that this is really the case, otherwise it would be impossible to fight like this with a little bit of organization. You must know that it is still the period of cold weapons, and although the street fighting is still very hurtful, it is not as hurtful as it was during World War II.

Looking at the battle report, Edward blew out the fire candle in the tent with blood in his heart, and tomorrow he would personally arrange for the troops to occupy the city.
