Chapter 211: A one-sided battle
The cavalry of the Wild Wolf Army did not seem to have the intention of attacking the city, so they simply bypassed Yanzhou City and plundered the surrounding area.
The siege was the infantry of the Wild Wolf Army, a total of 20,000 people, divided into four routes, and attacked the four gates of Yanzhou City at the same time.
On the walls of Yanzhou City, there were soldiers who had fled from the Northern Front Army. They looked at the wolf army under the city walls and wondered.
Why don't these people even have a ladder to attack the city? Do they still want to fly up?
The Wild Wolf Army responded to the questions of the defenders of the city with practical actions.
After adjusting the angle of the medium short guns, they aimed at the base of the city wall.
With an order, shells flew out of the muzzle. Not a single shell hit the walls, they all exploded at the base of the walls.
The soldiers defending the city were stunned and dumbfounded, this kind of play is really the first time I have seen it, but it is terrifying and makes people's hearts tremble.
It won't be long before the walls are blown down. At that time, all the people in the city will have no life to speak of.
What to do now? While the city wall has not fallen, there is still a danger to defend, and it seems to be a good choice to go out to meet the enemy.
Objections have been raised. Go out at this time and hit the enemy's trap. The cavalry of the Wild Wolf Army are not vegetarians, and they have not yet participated in the battle. If they do it, everyone will die faster.
But guarding a city that can collapse at any time doesn't seem to have much effect, it's just a matter of whether it's a matter of time before you die.
At the moment of life and death, no one can convince anyone. The defenders of the city could only wait and do nothing.
After an hour of artillery bombardment, the northern wall collapsed. Then there was a loud bang from the other three walls. The city of Yanzhou was breached.
The soldiers defending the city have already gathered together, just waiting for the wolf army to kill them and fight to the death.
They were greeted by eagles flying through the air and countless cannonballs dropped.
After a continuous shock, Yanzhou City turned into a dead city, full of flowing blood and splattered pieces of flesh.
The first siege battle of the Wild Wolf Army ended in the shortest time with absolute superiority and zero casualties.
The battle situation of Yanzhou City was transmitted to the capital as soon as possible, and it was transmitted to every city in the Daxing Empire.
Capture a city in an hour, the enemy suffers zero casualties, and your own army is annihilated. This huge gap makes everyone frightened and frightened.
How can such a strong combat force cope with the battle? Huge doubts, like a mountain, pressed on everyone's body.
Perhaps the city to the south could not feel the oppression brought by the wolf army. But the Black Earth City, which is closer to Yanzhou City, is panicked.
Huangyan City, which is on the same line as Yanzhou City, but Linyuan City is already in chaos, the people have fled, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting.
The Wild Wolf Army does not fight in close combat at all, only uses artillery bombardment, and even has flying eagles to help, how can this kind of battle be fought? No matter how it is fought, there is no chance of winning.
Through the fall of Yanzhou City, everyone also saw it. The Wild Wolf Army had no intention of attacking and occupying the city at all, and it did not allow the army of the Daxing Empire to be in danger. It seems that this kind of madman, who is not self-interested and unfavorable to others, can only be dealt with in a more crazy way.
But the problem is that the Daxing Imperial Army simply does not have such crazy means.
Thermal weapons, which have not yet been developed.
Spirit runes, that kind of master doesn't know where to hide.
The soul controller who controls the birds has long been extinct. On the mainland, there have been no flying monsters for many years.
The Daxing Empire has been peaceful for too long, and it has made people ignore the existence of external troubles for a long time. In the self-styled atmosphere, internal friction has become the main style.
As for breaking through the ideological confinement and pioneering the study of novel things, people have long been left behind. There is neither the need nor the room to do so.
Unable to resist the external threat, everyone thought of a way to deal with the wolf army, negotiation.
It is impossible for the wild wolf army to bomb indiscriminately without purpose, and there must be a plan. What are they plotting?
The city lords of various cities jointly gave a letter to the imperial court, and strongly requested that the imperial court send someone to negotiate peace with the wolf army.
At the same time that everyone's wishes were sent to the capital, the second legion of the Wild Wolf Army, with only 30,000 people, with cavalry as the vanguard and infantry pressing, came to the outside of the black soil city.
The Third Army pressed on Huangyan City on the west side of Yanzhou City.
The Fourth Legion also came a hundred miles outside the city of Linyuan. The Fifth and Sixth Corps, however, stayed where they were after breaking through the Northern Front.
The war was about to break out, and everyone could predict that once these three cities fell, the northeastern territory of the Daxing Empire would be cut out.
And at this juncture, the war situation in the west spread throughout the continent.
Jiangzhou City, the first line of Hongyan City, fell in just half a day. There were only 500 alien warriors besieging the city, and 30,000 soldiers were gathered to defend the city.
At the same time, south of the Qingyuan River, the cities of Yuezhou and Jizhou changed hands.
At this point, the alien warriors have completely gained a foothold in the Daxing Empire, completely isolating the imperial people's claim and control over the Kunqi Mountains.
There are only two places that have not been affected, and that is the Great Southwest and the Great Northwest.
The Great Northwest Extreme is cold, especially in the area of Rib Mountain, and there are few garrisons. Speaking of alien warriors, even the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom could hardly endure the harsh environment.
The southwest is full of mountains, the environment is complex, and the mountains and forests are full of miasma and poisonous haze. The locals are still careful to survive, and the aliens are not going to ask for trouble.
The war situation in the north has not yet been digested by the people, and the news of the defeat and fall in the west has come again, and the people are completely stunned.
They felt like the sky was about to change. Countless people prayed to Heaven for God Almighty to save the world from fire and water.
Whether God can hear the desires of the world, no one knows.
Black Earth City ushered in the charge of the Wild Wolf Army.
The Wild Wolf Army's style this time is somewhat similar to Yanzhou City, but there are differences. They moved more quickly, and before the people of the city could withdraw, they had already surrounded the city. It is simply impossible to flee to other places in vain.
Heitu City is much larger than Yanzhou City, and the number of permanent residents in the city has reached one million, and the floating population is also around 500,000, and more than one million people are all blocked inside.
This does not include the nearly 50,000 soldiers who fled from the Northern Army.
The roar of cannon was already ringing outside the city, and the walls seemed to be trembling and about to collapse.
The soldiers on the city wall could only stare dryly at the row of cannon muzzles three miles away. Arrows can't shoot through, people can't rush through. Even if it passes, it will be blown to pieces by strange shells.
Black Earth City is about to become the second Yanzhou City, and it seems that it is already a sure thing.
Castle Lord's Mansion, inside the Council Chamber.
The generals of the garrison battalion of Black Earth City, the generals of the Northern Army who fled, and the staff of the city lord have all arrived. There are also more than a dozen masters of the rivers and lakes dressed in different color costumes.
City Lord Zhu Shida didn't put on the city lord shelf anymore, looked at these people sincerely, and said, "Please think about it a little more, how to resolve this crisis?"
Sun Yance, the head of the staff, shook his head and said, "My lord, we have already speculated on various plans. It's impossible to fight back, and it's just a mantis arm to defend. The difference in strength between our two sides is too huge. ”
"The only way......" he pointed to the ground, "there is only earth." This can not only save everyone's lives, but also give the wolf army a false appearance. As long as they dare to get close, the initiative is in our hands. ”
Zhu Shida thought for a while and looked at the others, "What do you mean? At this time of life and death, everyone can speak freely." ”
"Mr. Sun's strategy is very clever. "The general of the Black Earth City garrison said.
"I'm in favor of it too. Everyone seconded the proposal.
Zhu Shida thought about it for a while, and after a few shots, "Just follow this plan, let's do it quickly." ”
The so-called earth escape is actually digging tunnels, and only in this way can you avoid the cannonballs thrown by the eagle from the air.
The soldiers on the city wall had nothing to do, staring dryly at the wild wolf army, but now that they had something to do, they roared excitedly. The entire Black Earth City instantly became a large construction site, and there were queues digging holes everywhere.
Zhu Shida returned to the back hall and saw his wife and daughter Zhu Tong. As soon as he saw Zhu Tong, he sulked for no reason.
He waved his hand, "You go down first, and I'll say something to your mother." ”
Zhu Tong left helplessly. As she guessed at Sunset Graveyard, whatever happened to her, what happened to her was already labeled dirty.
What's more, she was taken away, doesn't it just show that her father is incompetent? Zhu Shida is happy to see her.
Zhu Tong stood in the patio, looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but think of his master. She compared her father and master's attitude towards her, and felt a little confused.
Black Earth City may be breached in the next moment. When the time comes, he will die, and it will be impossible to see him again.
There was a rumbling sound from the north, and screams rang out one after another, and the northern wall collapsed. (To be continued.) )
