Chapter 774: Formal Engagement
"Haha!"
In the city, there was a sound of cheers, looking outside the city, the morale of the Karasuma army was extremely low, everyone was with joy on their faces, the Karasuma army did bring too much pressure to everyone, 300,000 Karasuma main force, what a terrifying number, 300,000 against less than 70,000 troops, this is extremely terrifying!
And now, under the leadership of the generals, they actually have such a terrifying performance, and they all cheered, this big victory can be said to be an extremely critical victory, so that in the city, whether it is a general or a soldier, they are full of confidence in defending the city, and they are not so afraid in the face of the 300,000 terrifying alien army!
On the other hand, the alien army at this time is full of gloom, arrogant, and the newly established Great Dragon Empire does not look down on these Karasuma alien races, but they have paid an extremely painful price for their arrogance, 300,000 troops, more than 70,000 dead and wounded fugitives, and the remaining 230,000 troops are also unstable and demoralized, and it is impossible to attack without a rest, and these aliens came to rob them, and now the robbery was not successful, but it was deeply hurt, plus all the time, For the horror of the Han people, in the current camp, the soldiers' feelings are not good.
Even many small leaders are trembling, without the slightest courage at all, it can be said that this is the price of arrogance, and more importantly, an army of 10,000 households was completely wiped out, plus some previous things, Bugendu's three descendants were intact. Although the suppression of the remaining two 10,000 households can be heavier, there is no doubt that it has been made within the Karasuma army. There was a crack!
"Great Khan, what should I do now, the army is unstable!"
Bu Gendu's descendants are ten thousand households, and he said cautiously, this person is loyal, even if Bu Gendu is angry now, he dares to speak up. This faithfulness is incomparably valuable.
Hearing this person's words, Bu Gendu was irritable, although this person was a big sweat. But it was inherited, and his ability was not too strong, otherwise the pioneer Wanhu Qiu Liju would not have thought about seizing the position of the Great Khan. But to be able to do the position of the Great Khan. Even if it is a fool, it will be stronger, Bu Gendu knows that this person is the descendant of his own lineage, and he has always been loyal, so although he is angry, it is not good to attack: "Now organize the army first, and all the commanders and commanders must organize the army to appease the army." In addition, slaughter sheep and cattle to reward the three armies and boost the morale of the army! ā
"No. Sweat! ā
Hearing that Bu Gendu was not completely depressed, the ten thousand households were overjoyed, and hurriedly got out of the Great Khan Tent and discussed it with the rest of the ten thousand households.
After killing sheep and slaughtering cattle, everyone had a good meal, and their morale gradually stabilized, after all, food is extremely precious to the grassland people, and after these foods are eaten, they naturally return to their hearts.
Zhang Liao, who had been closely observing the situation of the alien army, sighed secretly when he saw this, knowing that there was no chance at night, and he would attack the camp again, and then it was time for the armies of both sides to fight hard.
"Come on, hurry up the stockpiling of supplies, the next few days will inevitably be to meet the bloody battle, this battle is extremely dangerous, we must prepare as much as possible!"
Zhang Liao ordered, the next day, the army is constantly collecting materials that can be used, when defending the city, although there is a geographical advantage of the city wall, but the city wall is not high after all, only five meters, the thickness of the city wall is only three meters, you must defend it with all your strength!
A hard battle is about to break out, but fortunately, the victory of the big war has brought everyone confidence, otherwise it is really not possible to hold on, the army of 230,000 is too much, at least in the space of the Three Kingdoms.
In the next three days, both sides were fully prepared, although the steppe alien race was not good at attacking the city, but as the Great Khan, the Bugendu tribe still had some craftsmen in existence, and with the help of these craftsmen, they could also make some simple siege facilities.
Three days later, Bu Gendu saw that the army's heart was stable, the morale of the soldiers was gradually restored, and the siege facilities were also built, and he immediately ordered the army to attack the city.
The two million households on the left and right are naturally still in the lead, which makes the two ten thousand households who have taken refuge in Bu Gendu a little dissatisfied, and the rift in their hearts is also a little bigger.
The two of them have now lost 10,000 soldiers and horses, only 40,000 soldiers and horses, at this time it is not good to turn their faces with Bugendu, and the strong man of the grassland is the king, and their tribe is close to Bugendu, if they turn their faces, it will definitely be the end of the clan annihilation, so even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they can only forcibly grit their teeth and endure it, waiting for the opportunity to come.
"Keep an eye on it, there can be no signs of stealing and cheating, I have inquired clearly, the enemy army in the city is only 70,000, if you fight a bloody battle, pay 150,000 soldiers and horses, you can definitely take this city, now the most difficult front, let the left and right two thousand households to fight, you must keep an eye on them!"
Bu Gendu's face has a cruel color, the battle of the grassland has always been like this, if the strength is not strong, then it is easy to become cannon fodder, and now the three thousand households attached to the outside are only 80,000 soldiers and horses, so naturally let them be used as cannon fodder!
"Yes, Great Khan, let them attack the city with all their might!"
Several 10,000 households understand that if they can't make the most of these 10,000 households, then what will be lost will be their soldiers and horses, and there will be a gap of 70,000 yuan.
Therefore, there will definitely be no mercy on the few thousand households, and it will definitely be extremely hard to supervise the battle!
"Kill!"
At the beginning of the siege, a group of cavalry, carrying bags of soil, kept rushing towards the city, the five-meter-high city, the first thing they had to do was to fill in the moat, so even with their rudimentary siege equipment, it could play some role.
Groups of cavalry, fighting and roaring and charging, the power is naturally not to be underestimated, and the soldiers defending the city are also slightly taken away, but Zhang Liao, who has been preparing, immediately commanded by the order, although the army was a little distracted, or the first time to prepare the bow and arrow to defend the city, one by one crazy under the military order, attacked.
However, these alien cavalry in the grassland are also very good, although the military spirit is still a little unstable, and they are also a little afraid of the attack of the Han people, but they still grit their teeth and charge, because on the one hand, there are rich rewards, and on the other hand, the punishment measures are also extremely strict, and in the grassland of slavery, there are countless things that have been degraded to slaves!
Therefore, although the Karasuma cavalry was afraid, they still kept charging, even if Zhang Liao sent people to shoot constantly, but the moat was still constantly filled.
This battle was half a day, Mingjin withdrew his troops, the moat had already been filled, and there was a foreign cavalry constantly patrolling, afraid that the army in the city would dig out the moat again.
However, the enemy army is not without a price, but more than 3,000 alien cavalry died again, which can be seen the fierceness of this battle, after all, such a small section of the moat actually buried 3,000 alien cavalry!
After receiving the battle report, Bu Gendu was extremely excited, and it seemed that he didn't feel pity at all for the death of three thousand cavalry, after all, he had already thought about it, as long as he could break through this city and enter the Central Plains, then naturally he could capture more finances and population, and the current losses would be ten times or even dozens of times more recovered, and when the time came, the position of his steppe khan could be more stable!
"Pass the order, reward the two thousand households left and right, after resting, continue to attack the city, and today we must let the cowardly Han people know the strength of my cĒo original army!"
Bu Gendu laughed arrogantly, today's siege battle, he still saw some clues, the shortage of Han troops, this is the fatal weakness, and this city, not a big city, far from being able to compare with the city in the interior of the Han people, such a city, it will not be too difficult to break!
Boom, in the afternoon, one by one the improvised siege engines were pushed up, one by one the slaves under the whipping of the cavalry, but they continued to advance with arrows, although this time the 300,000 army arrived in advance, in fact, there was a cavalry escorted by the captain of 200,000 slaves, for the army to transport materials, these slaves played a role at this time, so it can be said that this time although Karasuma only has 300,000 cavalry, but there are still 200,000 slave logistics soldiers, The total number of troops should be as much as 500,000!
"Catapult!"
Zhang Liao roared, the enemy's siege vehicles are getting closer and closer, and these vehicles must be knocked out, otherwise the city's protection will definitely not last long, if there is no city guard, then less than 70,000 troops, how can they compete with the enemy, so Zhang Liao at this time is also extremely anxious, and he has repeatedly commanded the craftsmen of the army to meet the enemy!
Flying Stones. Arrows continue to communicate, although Karasuma's cavalry is extremely heavy casualties, but because there is no obstacle of the moat, from time to time there are cavalry can rush to the head of the city, at this time for the defense of the Great Dragon Empire will cause some delays, even if you strive to kill the enemy, you will immediately suffer a greater blow from the enemy, these Karasuma troops are too much, even if they are weapons and equipment, they can't be compared with the Great Dragon Empire, but the amazing number still gives them the advantage, charging and fighting again and again, organizing resistance again and again, Every soldier of the Great Dragon Empire is constantly trying to persevere, and at the same time, the reserves are also joining the defense of the city, which can be said to be extremely difficult and dangerous, and there are too many enemies! (To be continued......)
