Chapter 14: Miserable!
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The capital of the Blue Mountains is not the kind of cave-like buildings common to dwarven clans, although the Blue Mountains are rich in minerals, but the Blue Mountains themselves are not tall and steep, so it is impossible to hollow out the mountains and transform them into the dwarves' favorite cities in the mountains, which is completely different from the Lonely Mountains, the capital cities of the Blue Mountains can only be built against the mountains, similar to human cities, city gates, city walls, internal streets and houses.
Because of this, as long as the coalition army breaks through the city wall of the capital of the Blue Mountains, then the dwarves of the Blue Mountains can be said to be the turtles in the Weng, and they are absolutely dead, of course, this is just what they think, or the limitations of the feudal era, make them think so......
The next day, during the siege battle, Chu Hao personally led the dwarf army to the city wall, and in front of it, several army phalanxes were arranged in rows, the human army array, the dwarven army real column, and the array of various siege equipment and a small number of cavalry, not to mention anything else, the momentum of this army alone was enough to deter the dwarves on the city wall of the capital of the Blue Mountain.
In fact, the dwarves of the Blue Mountains, or the dwarves of Turin, they have no regular army, and their army has already been destroyed when the fire dragon invaded the lonely mountain, and then they gathered a large army to attack the ancient home of the dwarves, the mountain country occupied by the orcs, in that battle, the army of the dwarves of Turin really all died out, and by the time of the Blue Mountains at this moment, the dwarves of Turin had only the dwarven guards, and there was no longer the existence of the dwarven army.
At this moment, the huge army of the aristocratic alliance arrayed outside the city was enough to deter the dwarves on the city wall, after all, most of them were civilians not long ago, and the reason why they were able to stand on the city wall was thanks to the previous battlefield of the mercenaries and the crazy training for many days in a row, otherwise it is estimated that they would not even dare to stand here.
After the armies of the nobles lined up, all kinds of long-range siege equipment also began to be debugged, and there were also stone throwing equipment made by the dwarves of the Blue Mountains on the city wall, and they were debugging and testing each other, and then there was nothing new, a large number of stones were thrown at each other's positions, speaking of which, the capital of the Blue Mountains still has the advantage, after all, it has the height and protection of the city wall, and the forging technology of the dwarves is the first-class level of Middle-earth, so in comparison, the loss of the catapults of the human and dwarf alliances is more.
But this is just an appetizer, the real ant siege is the next scene, a large number of servant troops from the position of the aristocratic coalition army began to rush to the gate of the capital of the Blue Mountains, these servant troops are not regular feudal troops, more militia and people, basically belong to the private tribes of the nobility and the poor, although many of these people do not even have armor, only a leather armor, and even some do not even have leather armor, but their number is indeed large, tens of thousands of people densely carrying various siege equipment rushed to the gate of the capital of the Blue Mountains, there are siege ladders, there are corner cars, there are protective vans and so on.
The dwarves on the city wall did not have time to wait, a large number of catapults were aimed at these siege troops, and many archers and crossbowmen also kept shooting, but there was no crossbow of the owner of the fighting spirit, the two thousand dwarves had been gathered by Chu Hao, and they had not shot for the time being, and such a loose blocking force also allowed these servants to come to the city wall without spending many casualties, and immediately began to attack the city.
"No fighting spirit, the siege troops below are free to shoot!"
Chu Hao was surrounded by the two thousand strongest dwarven fighting spirit owners, they were all holding alloy steel crossbows facing below, and the entire city wall was densely covered with the thousands of dwarven fighting spirit owners, guarding the entire city wall together with ordinary dwarven guard members, with Chu Hao's order, the two thousand dwarves could not wait, and directly began to shoot downward with crossbows, although these crossbow arrows were not infused with fighting energy, but the alloy crossbow itself was a creation beyond this era, and two thousand crossbows were fired in a volley, A large number of humans and dwarves suddenly fell under the city wall, even if they raised their shields to resist, at such a distance of tens or hundreds of meters, the crossbow arrows of the alloy steel crossbow were enough to penetrate directly, and they couldn't stop it at all.
And the alloy steel crossbow has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the speed of the crossbow is much faster than the crossbow of this era, although it is not yet as fast as the bow and arrow, but it is definitely much faster than the ordinary crossbow, just like that, after two or three rounds of continuous shooting, a large area has been emptied under the city wall in front of the two thousand bow crossbow dwarves, this lethality is simply too amazing, so that many troops have avoided here, and a large number of stones have been thrown, although the accuracy of the trebuchet is extremely low, But almost half of the trebuchets were aimed at this side, and after a series of projections, dozens of crossbow dwarves were smashed into pulp, along with their bows and crossbows, which were directly destroyed.
When the battlefield comes to this point, there is no compromise at all, but it is just a mutual attrition, in fact, Chu Hao has at least several ways to let the Blue Mountain dwarves win this battle, but why bother, his purpose is to start this cruel war, for this reason, he even refused Zhang Heng and others to participate in the war, purely to let the Blue Mountain dwarves defend the city with their own strength.
In this way, a large number of servant troops began to attack the city throughout the city wall, a large number of ladders were set up on the city wall, and a large number of people tried to break the city gate at the city gate, and the archers below were shooting all the time, and the catapults were also throwing stones all the time, and the dwarves on the city wall were fighting with the human army that had already attacked the city wall, and the owners of the fighting spirit among the dwarves became the backbone of the battlefield, repelling the attacks of these coalition forces again and again, and the two thousand dwarf crossbowmen were like firefighters, rescuing everywhere, and the whole battle, Before I knew it, it had been going on for two hours, and the city wall had almost been broken through several times, thanks to Chu Hao's continuous rescue with the dwarven fighting spirit owner, this saved the situation, but after such a long battle, the dwarves of the Blue Mountain had at least more than two thousand casualties, and the rest of them were also starting to get tired.
Of course, compared to the defending side, the casualties of the besieging side are more terrible, there are at least more than 10,000 casualties before and after, such a large number of casualties, has made the servant troops collapse several times, if it were not for the regular troops of the coalition position, they may have fled, but even so, to hit this Cheng dΓΉ, no matter how much the bullet pressure can not make these servant troops attack the city again, unless the nobles are willing to mutiny, you must know that this is not a modern army, the army of feudal society, The casualties collapsed in a tenth, and these servant troops had already suffered more than a fifth of the casualties, and no matter how much they suppressed, they would definitely not have any morale to attack the city.
And only then did the regular troops of the nobles begin to move forward, and they began to attack the city, and this pressure is very terrible, these regular troops are much more elite than the dwarf defenders of the Blue Mountains, and since the beginning of the siege war, they have been recuperating, until this time began to move forward, such pressure is all pressed on the defenders, and before they attack the city, there are even dwarves trembling and trying to escape from the city wall, they are not professional troops after all, but ordinary people have only been trained for a short time.
Chu Hao seemed to have expected this situation, he exhaled, and then his eyes were full of determination, and he roared loudly: "All the dwarves who escaped are traitors to the Blue Mountain, they are all nobles who have betrayed the provisional government, all those who flee directly will be executed, their families will be deprived of all privileges and equal wealth, and then driven out of the Blue Mountain, comrades, we are just, and the revolution will succeed!" β
At the same time, when Chu Hao roared loudly, in the capital of the Blue Mountains, there were revolutionary songs organized by the dwarven provisional government everywhere, these are the realistic revolutionary songs that Chu Hao has plagiarized recently, and at this moment, many dwarves who were already irritable and simple felt that their hearts were boiling, and those dwarves who were afraid to escape were also slowly stabilized, in fact, they who had already tasted the privileges of the provisional government, they really didn't want to leave the Blue Mountain.
In this way, the most elite troops of the aristocratic coalition began to attack the city, and in front of them was a group of defenders who had been fighting for two hours, exhausted, and suffered a lot of casualties, and there was no extra language with each other, almost desperately fighting together, each relying on their greatest advantages, the aristocratic coalition army was more elite, more aware of the battle formation, and recuperated, while the dwarven defenders relied on the advantage of the city wall, and there were 1,7800 dwarven crossbowmen resisting to the death, blood and fire, survival and death, At this moment, someone was dying almost every second, and the corpses were already piled up under the walls of the Blue Mountain.
The battle has reached this point, and those nobles also regret it very much, they didn't expect the Blue Mountain dwarves to be so tenacious in advance, because as far as they know, the Blue Mountain dwarves have no real army, these armies should be the mob that was scattered by a rush, but it has been fought to this point, if they retreat, there will be nothing, and now they have made up their minds, once they break through the Blue Mountain, then they must wash the city, except for the bow and crossbow secret recipe, the wealth of the entire Blue Mountain will be plundered, This can make up for their losses, so the more they get to this moment, the more crazy they are, desperately ordering their own army, promising and coercing, and even making it clear that once the city is breached, the army will be allowed to wash the city, and those feudal troops have also fallen into madness because of casualties, gradually, the troops on the city wall have become more and more, and the entire city wall defense has been crumbling.
And until this time, Chu Hao still did not use any magic or participate in any battles, he commanded in the center of the dwarf army, which also became the last dwarven defense line on the city wall.
Suddenly, the besieging coalition cheered loudly, while the dwarves defending the city cried out in despair, for ...... The gates have been breached!
Everyone, the nobles, the attacking coalition, the Turin dwarves, it seemed that everyone could imagine what would happen next, the gates were broken, and the Turin dwarves of the Blue Mountains were exterminated......
But at this moment, the dwarven officials of the provisional government, who had already received the news, opened the door of the weapons depot according to Chu Hao's instructions, and began to directly pull all the dwarves in the capital of the Blue Mountains, regardless of men, women, and children, to gather them together in batches, and then directly handed them a weapon, and led them to the alley block near the city gate.
"For the great Blue Mountains Provisional Government, for the great working class, for the revolution! You must fight! β
Among all the people, only Chu Hao, who led the troops defending the city and fought and retreated, knew...... The battle to defend the capital of the Blue Mountains has only just begun!
