When the Sithroes began to assemble in Nuremberg City in the south, Jin Zecheng and Zeppelin had already estimated that the Siathrow people might take advantage of the opportunity of the Northwest Army and the Motts to invade the west to take advantage of the fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The light cavalry wings of the two wings were quietly pulled out and infiltrated into the territory of the Motts in the west, while the defensive infantry of the Ganlan Fortress increased to five wings, and the Second Guards Division transferred from Taixuan Mansion was divided into two divisions, and the three wings were stationed in Yinchuan Fucheng, which could reinforce the Ganlan Fortress at any time, and the two wings drove into Qingyang to ensure the safety of the capital.

The attack of the Sithroes came unusually fierce and fast, the defense in the Ganlan fortress had just been adjusted, and even before Jin Zecheng could return to Yinchuan, the 100,000 troops of the Sithroes had already arrived in the city, and there was a tendency to increase. When Jin Ze was established, he sensed the severity of the situation, and this time the Siaslo people didn't just want to stir up the muddy waters, judging from the current posture, it was clear that they wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Yinchuan in one bite, at least to take Ganlan.

Jin Zecheng was besieged Ganlan He himself was not worried, Zeppelin was still in Yinchuan, and the two had already discussed, no matter who had Ganlan, the other person would automatically assume the heavy responsibility of coordinating the entire Yinchuan, and Gao Gao also led the infantry wing of the two Gaoyue people to assist in the defense of Ganlan, and Ganlan's defense facilities in the past two years have been far from comparable, not only spent a lot of effort on the city wall to reinforce, but more importantly, with the support of the War Readiness Administration and the Department of Science and Technology, many advanced defense equipment has also been prioritized here as a test base。 These made Jin Zecheng full of confidence, and the two wings of Gao Yue infantry also made Jin Zecheng very satisfied, Gao Yue people's combat effectiveness he had long heard of, although he admitted that Gao Yue soldiers had a certain advantage in the defense of the position, but in relying on the defense of the fortified city, he did not think that Gao Yue soldiers were stronger than the elite brought out by his own gang of hands and feet, and he wanted to use this battle to prove it.

The Sithroes, as the second only military power in the Liboa kingdom, should not be underestimated, and the various siege weapons that came with the army alone were enough to open the eyes of Jin Zecheng and Gao. The long-range strike weapon Vulcan cannon was used in actual combat for the first time in the Eastern Continent, the kind of jar filled with black oil with windproof delay fire trigger, was fired out by the machine spring crossbow, which immediately turned the head of the Ganlan fortress into a sea of fire, if it were not for the Jin Zecheng well-prepared, prepared a lot of sediment for fire extinguishing backup, I am afraid that the first day will be killed by the Siathrow people on the city wall, Rao is so, under the blow of several Vulcan cannons, the defenders of Ganlan fortress still paid a heavy price.

It is different from ordinary mobile arrow towers, in addition to the bow and crossbow rooms and battle rooms wrapped in raw cowhide on each floor, there are also climbing hook ladders installed with movable wheels attached to the wing of the nest car, just close to the city wall, the climbing hook ladder is set up on the battlements, and the soldiers responsible for the attack can swarm out of the rooms on each floor of the nest car, relying on the cover of the archers in the bow and crossbow room, and go straight to the city to attack, which is very powerful. As for other traditional siege weapons, such as ramming vehicles, arrow towers, and movable ladders, this is not surprising.

As the shouts sounded again, Jin Zecheng knew that another attack by the Sithroes had unfolded again. Dressed in purple and black armor, the locust-like Siathrow soldiers slowly advanced towards the city wall with heavy nest carts, ramming carts and moving arrow towers, while behind them were a large number of soldiers pushing movable ladders, one after another rocks continued to fly up and fall from the positions of both sides, and dense arrows began to shoot at each other, and countless blood and limbs mixed with terrible screams announced the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle.

Nest carts and turrets that enter the strike range are the first targets of the defenders, and they are especially threatening to the defenders. The soldiers at the head of the city were constantly adjusting their bearings according to the calculated coordinates provided by the observation post, and the stones the size of millstones took off and shot out with a whistling sound, heading straight for the slow-moving nest cart and arrow tower. Once hit by the stone projectile, although it was made of extremely hard pear wood or ironwood, under the impact of this huge stone with a habitual surname, the ordinary nest cart and arrow tower could only withstand five or six bombardments before disintegrating, and the soldiers continued to fall from the height of the shattered nest cart and arrow tower, and bursts of yellow dust splashed on the mottled loess.

Not to be outdone, the attacker's catapults were no less to be outdone, and waves of stone rain came to the city, and the shields were simply not enough to resist this summoning from the Hades Palace, and the huge stones were enough to smash one or even two soldiers into meat loaf with their shields. The surviving arrow towers and nest carts gradually approached the city wall, and the crossbowmen hiding in the bow and crossbow room also began to draw their bows and arrows, and with the advantage of height, a rain of arrows blew up, pouring towards the northwest soldiers on the city's head, and the sharp arrows continued to break through the shield and pheasant moats, making a muffled sound of the arrows piercing the soldiers' bodies. Blood slowly flowed down the undulating walls, and soon formed streams under the city's head.

The huge crash car began to accelerate when it slowly advanced not far from the city wall, the huge impact force made the entire city wall seem to be shaking, and the solid iron-clad city gate was extremely fragile under the continuous impact of the crash car, if it wasn't for the city gate had already been stuffed with boulders, I was afraid that at most three or five times, the city gate would collapse and turn into ruins.

Commanding the soldiers to enter the combat post in an orderly manner, after countless wars, this unit has been able to cope with any difficulties and dangers without flinching, whether it is the Taiping rebels or the northern invaders. The surging Sithro soldiers, like battle-hardened veterans, were not in the least intimidated by the rain of flying rocks and arrows, and the officers who took the lead carried their shields and raised their swords, sweeping along with the tide of soldiers who crossed the flat ground below the pass.

Countless ladders were pushed up in an instant, set up on the battlements, and the agile ape-like soldiers with knives in their mouths and shields on their heads quickly climbed up the stairs to the battlements, and immediately started a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Northwest Army who had been waiting for them. The nest car also arrived at the best attack position at the same time, with the piercing creaking sound, the huge wheel turned, the climbing hook ladder slowly fell directly on the head of the city, the soldiers hiding in the battle room rushed out along the hook ladder, brandishing a fast knife and shield under the cover of the crossbowman at the top of the city.

At this time, the city has become a cheap slaughterhouse, the stumps are scattered everywhere with a strong smell of blood, and the colorful internal organs can be seen everywhere, such a tragic scene is even more stimulating to the soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle in this city, this is a life-and-death struggle without compromise, the winning side can unconditionally deprive the other party of life, it depends on who can hold out to the end.

Gao Gao stood a little numb behind the castle tower and watched all this, this kind of tragic scene could no longer arouse any interest in him, the same picture would appear several times a day, even the most fresh people would lose interest in it, not to mention Gao Gao had long been accustomed to it. Although the scene was hot, it did not exceed expectations, looking at the eager reserves in the rear, Gao ignored them, now is not the time to use this force, as time goes by, the battle behind will become more and more dangerous day by day, and the preservation of the necessary living force is something that a commander must take into account.

"Senior brother, how is the situation?" A gentle voice came from behind, Gao Gao didn't need to look back to know that this was the voice of the commander-in-chief Jin Zecheng, they had been working together in this battle for three days, and the intense battle made them quickly forget some of the original episodes, integrate into the whole of the combat group, and work together to deal with this battle that is related to the life and death of everyone.

"Oh, there is no problem at present, Brother Jin, although the Sithro attack is fierce, our city defense facilities have been updated a lot, presumably the Sithro spies are also difficult to know about the changes in our city defense, and they have suffered a lot of losses, I think it will be difficult for their spy leader to explain after he returns." A relaxed smile appeared on Gao Gao's face, unaffected by the bloody battlefield in front of him.

"Well, but it seems that the Sithro people have also spent some effort, the Vulcan cannon is extraordinary, and after a trip, our brothers can lie down for a long time, and this nest car, these are all new equipment that we have not yet seen in the Eastern Continent." Jin Zecheng's face was solemn, he was not so optimistic as high, the battle behind was still very long, Lord Li had invested most of the main army in the northwest to the Tengger grassland, and even the main force of the Mote people had been used without reservation, obviously wanting to use this battle to eliminate the hidden dangers on the East Tengger grassland, but when would this battle end, Jin Zecheng did not dare to make a judgment, but at least it was unlikely in a short period of time, and the defense of Yinchuan could only rely on the joint efforts of himself and Taixuanfu to deal with it.

"Well, the Sithroes also seem to have a taste of taking this opportunity to try out their new equipment. But as long as we are prepared, they can't take advantage of it. Offense and defense, defense, that always has to take the lead, especially this one relies on strength and defense. It's just that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and we can't afford to consume it like this. "Although Gao Gao is full of confidence, but he also sees the weakness of his side, Ganlan Fortress was originally a fortress for the Sithroes, it can be said that it condenses the essence of the northwest defense system, whether it is from the design and construction of the city wall, the city tower, and the urn city, or from the battlements, pheasants, The layout of the attack weapons at the head of the city can be called perfect, but the only drawback is that it is only an isolated fortress, not a city, and the consumption of troops cannot be replenished.
