The direction of the Omani offensive did not surprise Chen Wu and the Songjiang army.

Maybe their real plan hasn't been shown yet, but at least this first attack, the defense line of Yushan Battlements is still chosen. There is no doubt that these high-spirited Omanis were met head-on by the soldiers of the Tien Nan Legion, who were in high formation.

After experiencing the previous tragic battle, those who can survive and stay until now are the elite of the Tiannan Legion. These iron-blooded veterans who survived a hundred battles did not have the slightest fear in the face of the swarming Omanis, and there was only composure and coldness in their eyes.

It was a determination that would not waver as if it were under any attack!

"Three-bow bed crossbow ready!"

"Listen to my orders, and after ten breaths, the log will be struck!"

One order after another was delivered in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who carried it out did not drag the slightest bit of mud and water. When the Omani soldiers climbed up the city with the ladder in the face of the astonishing damage of the bed crossbow, a large number of rolling logs were pushed to the top of the ladder with the help of the crane and smashed down with a rumbling sound.

At least the personnel were seriously injured and fell, and the entire ladder was broken from it, and the screams were repeated for a while.

The first attempt to storm the city resulted in heavy losses in just a quarter of an hour and had to be forced to withdraw. Sitting on the advantage of defending the city, the Tiannan army suffered few significant casualties.

"Can't be wrong, it must be the remnants of the Tiannan Legion!"

Due to the strict secrecy of the troops stationed in Songjiang Army, and the fact that the flag of the legion was not hoisted, the black-clothed guards did not get the identity of the defenders of the Yushan battlements. However, the gap between the elite of the hundred battles and the newly formed Songjiang Army was too great, and it only took one attack to test it out.

Yan Huahui, the general who watched this round of attack, made a firm assertion.

At this time, the hand reported the casualty figures of the first round of the attack. Hearing that astonishing proportion, Saladin's face was a little ugly, and he muttered: "Although the Tiannan Legion is our defeated general, for the sake of our good sons, if you can, you should avoid them as much as possible." ”

Commanded, the army of the Kingdom of Oman was quickly adjusted.

Up to four divisions and regiments launched a tentative offensive in several sectors at once. Although a lot of casualties were paid, the effect was obvious, and in a relatively short period of time, the reality of the defenders in each section of the South Peak Fortress was clarified.

"Well, here it is!"

Synthesizing the reports of all parties, as well as the topography of the specific section, Saladin's finger moved up and down the map, and finally landed on the defense line of the Spring Mountain section, and slammed it.

It was an important area of the entire Nanfeng fortress defense line, garrisoned by the Second Army of the Songjiang Army, and dozens of bed crossbows and stone throwers were arranged, and the defense was not inadequate. But compared to the Yushan Battlements guarded by the Tiannan Army, it was naturally not a grade.

In Saladin's sense, the Omanis determined that the breakthrough of this attack was in the Chunshan section.

Yan Huahui had no objection to this, and quickly executed the dereads();. The front line of the 300,000-strong army remained unchanged and continued to maintain a feint attack on all sections of the Nanfeng Fortress, and the 2nd Guards Division and the 4th Division of the Waranga Corps in the rear quietly mobilized and took advantage of the cover of night to maneuver from the rear to the Chunshan section.

At the moment when the sky was bright, the two elite main divisions launched a fierce attack on the second division of the Songjiang Army.

The Guards are the ace of the Omanis, and in the last war, it was the 1st Division of the Guards that should take over the Jianhuangling section. This time, at the beginning of the war, Saladin threw in the ace of the Guards, and Chi Guoguo showed his determination - and contempt for the Matsue army!

It has to be said that the movement of the Omanis is very secret, and the Songjiang army did not get the news in advance, but it does not mean that the defenders of the Chunshan section are defenseless.

Since the start of the war, the offensive strength of the Omanis has not been weak, but compared to the 300,000 army, it is still a bit insufficient. Chen Wu is well aware that the Omanis are taking advantage of this opportunity to find weaknesses and breakthroughs in the defensive line. After a brief easing of the offensive, a tragic onslaught ensued, reminding the ministries to be vigilant in advance.

The defenders of the Spring Mountain section are naturally no exception.

Although they are not as good as the first division of the Songjiang Army, they are also the oldest in the entire Songjiang Army sequence. Especially in the infantry of the First Brigade, several officers even followed Chen Wu from Longshan Mansion in Taiping County. Although he was surprised that there were a large number of strong enemies outside his defense line overnight, he did not panic too much and immediately organized a counterattack.

"Victory for the Kingdom of Oman!"

Shouting slogans of victory, the 2nd Guards Division, with the confidence and glory of being a trump card, arrived in a neat queue of 400 paces into the city. Subsequently, the army stopped, and a large number of carefully crafted siege weapons were pushed to the front of the battle by the soldiers. Among them, there are 18 super-large stone throwers.

It was at the end of the last Tiannan War, and the Omanis newly developed a counterweight stone thrower!

Due to the fact that it was only developed last time and the number was insufficient, the counterweight stone throwing machine did not play a decisive role, but it still collapsed the wall of the county town in the Battle of Tianlong, and almost broke Tianlong City. This time to make a comeback, the Omanis made ample preparations, sparing no resources to build a large number of counterweight stone throwers.

The Omanis have faith in this ultimate weapon with a longer range and greater power!

Even the walls of the South Peak Fortress are difficult to hold on to under the continuous bombardment of these stone throwers, and sooner or later they will be destroyed by hundreds of catties of boulders.

"Sure enough......"

Seeing this kind of guy that was obviously bigger than an ordinary stone thrower launched by the Omanis, the generals of the Songjiang Army who defended the army couldn't help but admire Chen Wu's foresight. After the end of the last war, Chen Wu already knew that the Omanis had a counterweight stone thrower, so he naturally would not ignore it. The training at the Guò Dengzhou Military Academy had long since informed the whole army of the approximate range and power of this new type of siege weapon.

In addition, the War Readiness Administration itself also manufactured a large number of counterweight stone throwers, and named them "Great General Stone Cannons".

In the first battle to capture Quanzhou Port a year ago, the Songjiang Army used this kind of counterweight stone throwing machine to test the knife and achieve very good deterrent results.

And this time, seeing that the Omanis showed their trump cards, the Songjiang army also showed the same weapon-for-tat.

Because it is used to defend the city, the "Great General Stone Cannon" that appears in the Nanfeng Fortress is different from the model outside Quanzhou Port. Chen Wu communicated his ideas with a large number of craftsmen in the War Readiness Administration, and opened a rehang. Pooled efforts and made improvements on the basis of the original "Great General's Stone Cannon".

The two different models of counterweight rubbish are technically similar, but the focus is differentreads();. The version of the South Peak Fortress, because it does not need to be disassembled and moved, is more complex and cumbersome. But correspondingly, the range has increased by at least twenty paces, and the accuracy has also increased slightly. Relying on the height advantage of the city wall, the "Great General Stone Cannon" of the Songjiang Army is enough to stabilize the counterweight stone throwing machine of the Omanis under the same conditions!

Before the Omani siege weapons were in place, the "Great General's Stone Artillery" of the Songjiang Army took the lead in firing.

The first batch of "ammunition" was two to three pounds of stones. Each of these stone cannons is enough to throw hundreds at the same time. Even if only a few of them can hit the enemy, the lethal effect is extremely impressive. Due to a miscalculation of the range of the Songjiang army's city defense weapons, the Omani soldiers at the front suffered a heavy blow.

However, the 2nd Guards Division, which was the trump card, did not stop moving, despite some panic.

Shouting trumpets to speed up, they ignored the sacrifices of their comrades and pushed their own catapults within range of the walls of the South Peak Fortress, and began to quickly reload the stones, ready to counterattack.

It's going to be a bitter war of attrition!

However, it's nothing just that people die, after all, the Songjiang Army has the Nine Masters Regiment. The War Readiness Agency has also recruited new people in Nanfeng Province, who can be filled at any time. The walls of the South Peak Fortress are the most critical. Once the walls are destroyed, the battle is likely to repeat the tragedy of the last great war.

Ordinary stone throwers can't threaten the walls of the South Peak Fortress, so the Omanis must be destroyed with these eighteen siege weapons first!

The "Great General's Stone Cannon" of the Songjiang Army gave up stone shells for the infantry, and instead of loading two or three hundred catties of boulders for the city wall, they replaced it with medium-weight stones of forty or fifty catties. After throwing more than 200 steps, a stone of this weight can be hit enough to ensure the destruction of the Omani trebuch. Since five or six pieces can be thrown at a time, the probability of a possible hit is also greatly increased.

The instructors of the Dengzhou Military Academy once specially organized manpower to conduct drills. With a bit of luck, six or seven rounds of attacks can destroy the enemy's siege weapons at a distance of two hundred paces.

In the absence of artillery, this is already a very impressive level of accuracy.

Of course, while the "Great General's Stone Cannon" was wielding, the ordinary torsion stone throwers and bed crossbows did not stop, pouring their power on the other siege weapons of the Omanis and the soldiers who were attacking the city with ladders. A large number of elite Omani archers sniped the defenders of the city before the shield soldiers arrived.

Compared with the tentative attack at the Yushan battlements, the battle situation on the Chunshan section was tragic and fierce from the beginning.

In just half a day, a brigade of the 2nd Guards Division suffered heavy losses, with seven or eight hundred dead and wounded, and had to temporarily retreat to recuperate. In their place to continue the offensive were soldiers of the 4th Division of the Valanga Corps. During this period, there was hardly any time for the Matsue Army to recuperate, and the entire tidal offensive was maintained from morning to evening.

The attacking side suffered heavy losses, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, but the siege weapons that the Omanis had hoped for did not have the desired effect.

Before the people of Songjiang knew it, they had the same weapons as them, and their performance seemed to be even more advanced. If it weren't for the slight superiority of your own numbers, you might not be able to sustain the offensive during the day. Rao is so, under the suppression of the other side, his own siege weapons did not achieve decent results, but as many as eight new counterweight stone throwers were destroyed by dozens of pounds of stones, and many soldiers who operated were not spared.

On the side of the South Peak Fortress, there are only a few deep white marks on the city wall, but I don't know how long it will take to damage the entire section of the city wall with this point.

This shocking surprise caused the Kingdom of Oman to fall into a lag as soon as the large-scale offensive began.
