Qi Lin set off from Xinyang City with an army of 200,000, and before he could reach the Green Water River, the spies in front reported that Green Water City had been taken by Chu Jing.

Qi Lin was really shocked, although he set off a few days late for various reasons such as preparing logistics, but was such an important city as Green Water City lost by the defenders of Green Water City?

"Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, Green Water City shouldn't be conquered so easily, what about the 100,000 soldiers defending the city?"

The spies told Qi Lin in detail about the information they had discovered, wrapped the chain raft across the Green Water River, and engaged the soldiers of Green Water City on the shore.

"I see, is the general of the second prince a fool, if he doesn't defend a good city, he has to come out and give away his head?"

In fact, it is not to blame the defenders of Green Water City, when the army crosses the river halfway to launch an attack, it is every general who has learned and formed a fixed pattern, and he really couldn't imagine that Chu Jing's army would cross the river in a way that has never appeared before, and even started a cavalry charge on the river.

Moreover, the strength of Qi Lin's generals is also very strong, not something that ordinary soldiers can compete with, and it is not particularly strange that they will be defeated quickly under the charge.

"What about Linshui City?" Qi Lin asked again, "Green Water City fell into Chu Jing's hands, the defenders of Linshui City couldn't just watch, didn't he make any moves?"

The spy said: "After Linshui City learned that Green Water City was captured, it closed the city gate tightly and held out, but Fuchun City did make some moves, I heard that the city lord and the second prince of Fuchun City have gathered 200,000 soldiers and are ready to go to Green Water City." ”

"Oh? interesting, interesting, looks like I'll have to wait a little longer. ”

Qi Lin stroked his smooth chin, as the so-called sandpiper and clam competed, the fisherman profited, and he was the fisherman.

No matter what Chu Jing and the second prince will develop, it will be a good result for himself, if the second prince loses too much, he will be like the eldest prince borrowing troops and taking the entire northwest in one fell swoop.

Qi Lin did not lead his troops across the Lushui River, but stationed his army near a city called Mingmen City, which was the closest city to the Lushui River, and was able to cross the Lushui River in a very short time and enter the northwest battlefield.

It is said that Chu Jing went to Shangyu City the next day after taking the Green Water City.

Shangyu City is not too far west of Green Water City, and it only took a day's march to reach the outside of Shangyu City.

"The order goes down, and two catapults are made overnight, and they will be used tomorrow. ”

Chu Jing did not order the making of siege equipment such as ladders, but made catapults.

The catapult was fairly easy to make, especially if the required parts were already in place, but it didn't really cost the soldiers some of it.

Shangyu City and the second prince are also in-laws, the northwest does not count Green Water City and Linshui City, the other six city lords are all in-laws with the second prince, but some are married to sisters, daughters, and some are granddaughters.

The second prince relied on his maternal uncle, the city lord of Fuchun City, so he naturally used marriage to strengthen the connection.

The city lord of Shangyu City has not yet received the news that Lushui City has been breached, but suddenly a large army came to Shangyu City, which still made him feel panicked, but fortunately, it was late on the first day, and there was no war.

"What? Green Water City was occupied by the city lord of Renjin City? What? The city lord of Renjin City is the person of the Seven Princes? What? The army outside is Renjin City?!"

The city lord of Shangyu City got bad answers to a few questions in a row, and his heart suddenly cooled half.

Green Water City has 100,000 defenders, and there are 100,000 defenders next to it, and Linshui City, which has 100,000 defenders, takes care of each other, but it was lost inexplicably, and the speed was so fast that he didn't get the news until now.

Shangyu City is not a particularly large city, and there are two gateway cities in the northwest to guard it, and Shangyu City has only 30,000 defenders.

There were more than 100,000 people outside, and the city lord of Shangyu City didn't know what to do.

He immediately made a decision to hold on for three days, and if after three days, Fuchun City did not send troops to rescue, he would open the city and surrender.

Unfortunately, his decision did not help him, because early the next morning, Chu Jing began to attack the city.

A period of time after eating will make people feel sleepy and have no energy, so Chu Jing simply asked the soldiers to take Shangyu City and have breakfast again.

"Catapult ready. ”

The catapult was pulled strained with ropes, but nothing had been placed on it.

"Tanya. ”

Chu Jing nodded to Tanya, and Tanya said she understood.

Tanya's own blasting bomb has a timing function, which means that it will detonate within a short time after installation.

Since this was the case, Chu Jing simply asked Tanya to install the blasting bomb on the catapult and drop it directly, so as to avoid the danger of sneaking into the city and being discovered.

After Tanya installed it, she didn't dare to wait for the slightest, and immediately projected it.

"Boom!"

It hit the city wall accurately, but it was detonated before it could touch the city wall, and there was a deafening explosion that shook the city wall.

The city lord of Shangyu City only felt that his ears were buzzing, and the ground he stepped on had a very unsteady feeling, he suddenly pulled a soldier and roared loudly: "What did the other party's catapult throw just now?!"

How could an ordinary soldier know such a thing as a bomb, even a well-informed person would not be able to know something that had not yet been invented.

The catapult outside began to approach the city gate, and Tanya's blasting bomb exploded so fast that it didn't give it time to fly in the air, and it had to get closer to the city gate.

However, if you get too close to the city gates, you will be shot at by arrows from the walls, and you will be more likely to be targeted by catapults and bed crossbows on the walls, and if the blasting bombs are shot down before they are even dropped, then ...... But it's going to be a lot of fun.

Fortunately, the explosion just now made the soldiers defending the city of Shangyu fall into shock, and did not think of counterattacking, the second blasting bomb successfully exploded on the city wall, and the boulders flew, and after the smoke passed, a huge gap was suddenly left.

As with the last time, just blowing a corner was not enough for the soldiers to storm the city, so a third blasting bomb was planted.

"Boom!"

The earth shook, flying sand and rocks, and the dust and mist were filled, this time, the gap was big enough, and the demon beast cavalry could let go of their hands and feet to attack the city.

However, things are not so simple, because the white flag of surrender was erected above the city tower, and the city gate below was also wide open, and the city lord of Shangyu City and a cadre of officials behind him put on shackles one after another, and went out of the city to surrender.

This made Chu Jing a little surprised, he was ready to fight, but he didn't expect the city lord of Shangyu City to be so spineless, and he would admit defeat before the fight started.

In fact, you can't blame the city lord of Shangyu City, inexplicably seeing such a powerful bomb, even the city wall has exploded a big gap under the two bombs, if this attacks himself, wouldn't there be even a whole corpse.

Not only did the city lord of Shangyu City think so, but the other soldiers had already been blown up all their morale in the three explosions, this is not the power that humans can have at all, what else to fight them.

It was easy to take another city, but this time it was not like Green Water City, leaving some defenders, and then you could continue to attack other cities, because of the gap in the city wall that was blown up, it had to be repaired, and before it was repaired, Chu Jing felt that the army was stationed in Shangyu City.

The 30,000 soldiers in Shangyu City were not injured except for those who were unlucky enough to be in that section of the city wall and were killed or injured by the explosion, and there were nearly 30,000 of them.

Chu Jing simply separated the soldiers under his command, 10,000 soldiers brought from Renjin City, 20,000 soldiers from Shangyu City were sent to Green Water City, and then there were 110,000 left, helping to repair the city wall in Shangyu City.

Green Water City is one of the two most important cities in the northwest, before Chu Jing attacked other cities to help attract firepower, leaving only 20,000 defenders can be maintained for a while, but now Chu Jing has stopped, and there are enough soldiers around him, so naturally there is no need for so many people.

Green Water City has 30,000 soldiers from Renjin City, plus 20,000 troops from Shangyu City, a total of 50,000 people, which is exactly the number of Renjin City at the beginning, although it is impossible to have the preparation and combat effectiveness at that time, but it is still very easy to defend against an average number of enemies.

Just when Chu Jing stopped in Shangyu City, Fuchun City also sent troops.

The expression of the city lord of Fuchun City was extremely complicated, the Green Water City that he had worked so hard to capture was actually occupied by others in less than a day, which would be very annoying and unbelievable to anyone.

The second prince didn't have much reaction, especially when he knew that the other party had less than 100,000 people, and there was no follow-up army, so he put his heart in his stomach.

"Uncle, don't worry, the other party only has tens of thousands of people, and when our army arrives, we won't obediently give up Green Water City. ”

The city lord of Fuchun City nodded, he could only hope for this, but in his heart, he was thinking about who to send to defend Green Water City and Linshui City, Green Water City was broken by himself once, and it was broken by the kid who didn't know where it came from again, and then it may be broken by himself again.

If Greenwater City's defenses are so weak, he should probably strengthen it again.

The 200,000 army set off from Fuchun City, originally heading to Green Water City, but after hearing that Shangyu City was being attacked, they immediately turned around and set off towards Shangyu City.

The city lord of Shangyu City and the second prince are related by marriage, and so are the other city lords, so they can't give up this ally just because Lushui City is more important, if they chill the hearts of these city lords, it will be even more difficult to act in the future.

But they were still late, and it was only one night from Chu Jing's team to Shangyu City and then to Chengpo.

When the army of the second prince arrived at Shangyu City, he saw that there was a huge gap in the front of the city wall of Shangyu City, and the broken stones had been cleaned up, and even some were repaired.

Seeing such a scene, the second prince hurriedly said to the city lord of Fuchun City: "Uncle, this is a good opportunity, let's attack the city from there quickly." ”

The city lord of Fuchun City frowned tightly, and his face was gloomy, and the current situation was not a matter of attacking or not attacking the city, but it was necessary to find out what means the other party used to make such a big gap in the city wall.

Even the general of Zhenguo doesn't have such a means, right? The city lord of Fuchun City is not sure, but the person who directly collapsed the city wall and then attacked the city, except for the demon beasts, there really hasn't been much such a thing in the human world.

It's not that humans can't do this, it's just that ...... War is war, it's not that you can command others and destroy everything if you are strong enough.

This statement is that the kingdom of heaven has lost the right to rule the Continent of the Gods, and more and more small countries have risen, which has unconsciously formed a common practice.

The strong can participate in the war, but they can only fight against the strong of the other side, and cannot dominate the battlefield, otherwise there will be "righteous people" to fight together.

This method can also be regarded as a kind of protection for the weak, preventing the strong from wantonly slaughtering ordinary people.

The city lord of Fuchun City was very concerned about this means of destroying the city wall, and he didn't want to die inexplicably under even more inexplicable means.

200,000 people were stationed outside the city of Shangyu and did not make any moves.

Chu Jing was not worried at all that the other party would attack Shangyu City with 200,000 soldiers, although Shangyu City was somewhat damaged, most of the city walls still existed, and the damaged part had also begun to be repaired, so there was no problem as a simple fortification defense.

There are 110,000 people in the city and 200,000 people outside the city, if the other party attacks Shangyu City, the final loss will definitely be the second prince.

Chu Jing also has another task, that is, to perfect Tanya's blasting bomb, there are three problems now, one is that the bomb is slow to be placed, it takes a while to set up the second blasting bomb, and Tanya's safety must be protected during this interval.

The second point is time, the time for the blasting bomb to explode is very short, if the speed of the trebuchet cannot be faster, it can only make the trebuchet closer to the city wall, and the danger factor increases.

The third point is that the blasting bomb cannot be intercepted in the middle of the way, if it explodes near itself, Tanya and the others who are in the explosion range will definitely not survive.

The advantages of the blasting bomb are many, the damage bonus for the building is very high, and even the city wall can't withstand two shots, but the disadvantages also make Chu Jing feel an abnormal headache.

How to improve it is a big problem, at least Chu Jing has not yet come up with a more perfect plan.

The initial plan was to change the catapult to a bed crossbow, and the blasting bomb was mounted on the crossbow arrow, which was fired faster, more accurately, and the outside of the ballista was heavily armored, like a tank.

The armor can prevent the blasting bomb from being intercepted and exploded in the middle of the explosion and injuring Tanya, as for whether the lower part can be powered by a heavy armored cavalry and a wild demon cow, it is necessary to see if there is a suitable weight-bearing demon beast.

At this time, the city lord of Fuchun City outside the city had already received information and understood that Chu Jing was using a catapult to project three strange things towards the city wall, and the city lord of Fuchun City actually thought about it.

There are also many alchemists in Fuchun City, he once saw an alchemist alchemist alchemy, the Dan furnace suddenly exploded violently, at that time the smoke was billowing out, the alchemist was blown unconscious, his clothes were burned black, and the person was already dying.

At that time, everyone else was laughing, but the city lord of Fuchun City felt that the power of the explosion just now was not weak, and it might be useful.

It's just that even the alchemist couldn't tell the reason for the explosion of the Dan furnace, one would say that the fire was not well controlled, and the other would say that the dosage of the medicine was wrong.

The city lord of Fuchun City lost patience and completely forgot about it, but he didn't expect that someone really researched the "Explosive Dan Furnace", and the effect was amazing, it could blow down a city wall.

Knowing the other party's methods, the city lord of Fuchun City fell into a difficult situation again, since the other party had such a lethal weapon, how should he deal with it? If the other party threw one at the place where his soldiers had the most on the battlefield, not to mention the casualties, he might scare his own soldiers into fleeing directly.

In fact, at this point, the city lord of Fuchun City is too careful, Tanya's blasting bomb only has high damage to buildings, and the lethality of soldiers, well, for the limited lethality of warriors, soldiers who have no defense ability can still be killed in seconds.

The next day, the craftsmen of Shangyu City began to repair the city wall again under the nose of the army, and this time the city lord of Fuchun City did not have any desire to attack, and ordered the soldiers to leave and turned to Green Water City.

The second prince was very puzzled, and the city lord of Fuchun City did not explain much. Although I don't know how many explosive things the other side still has, it is stupid to attack Shangyu City, where many troops are stationed.

The city lord of Shangyu City has already surrendered, and the city lord of Fuchun City has also tried, as long as he doesn't leave an excuse.

For the Northwest, Green Water City and Waterfront City are the top priorities.

If the army of Shangyu City dares to chase it out, 200,000 people against 110,000, even if the other party has a secret weapon, but in a field battle, the city lord of Fuchun City still wants to see it.

Chu Jing naturally did not chase out, among the 110,000 troops in Shangyu City, only 40,000 were from Renjin City, completely loyal to themselves, and the others were soldiers who had to surrender, the loyalty of these people was not high, it was not bad to betray them on the battlefield no longer, it was impossible for them to fight to the death.

Therefore, Chu Jing decided to try not to fight a war that was unfavorable to him.

A day's distance from Green Water City on the Shangyu City Road, when the second prince and the city lord of Fuchun City came to the foot of Green Water City, they saw the other party's strict guards, and did not take the initiative to attack, and also set up camp.

It is a recognized fact that Green Water City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the process of Green Water City being taken by Chu Jing is also extremely funny, the defenders of Green Water City actually gave up the advantage of defending the city and came out directly to fight a decisive battle with Chu Jing's army, and then surrendered directly as soon as they were defeated.

Now the city defense of Green Water City is very sufficient, even if there are only 50,000 soldiers to defend it, it is extremely difficult to attack.

The city lord of Fuchun City will ask to set up camp first, and then slowly plot.

The second prince walked into the tent of the city lord of Fuchun City and saw that the city lord of Fuchun City was carefully studying the defense drawings and architectural drawings of Lushui City.

Green Water City once belonged to him, and he naturally had these things.

"Uncle, why don't you attack the city directly, the other party only has 50,000 people......" The second prince suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you afraid that the people in Shangyu City will attack from both sides?"

The city lord of Fuchun City did not speak, but handed him two drawings, just looking at the drawings, it made the city lord of Fuchun City feel a headache, this green water city is like a fortress, it is too difficult to break it.
