The spring is cold, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe white seven-star fortress of Pubei Port is like a blooming snow lotus in the bright moonlight.

The color of the steel stone slab is bright white with a slight green, which looks a little less majestic and fragile. No one knew how impregnable this seemingly magical fortress was.

This delusion even made the little Khan Turil a little worried.

While digging grass valleys on the edge of the Tuhana steppe, Turil was fond of plundering the caravans of the nobles. The guards of these caravans were each well-armored and well-armed.

Their swords and spears were delicate and shiny, but unfortunately they were very fragile, and the silver swords used for decoration could not match the rough iron scimitars.

Their armor was intricately carved, and even hollowed out on the back of their chests, so that even inferior arrowheads could not be protected.

Turil couldn't help but wonder if this strange fortress that had never been seen before was the same. In that case, even if the Timurid tribe can be easily defeated, it will not be able to be used as a base camp.

The knights of the Tutu tribe were very happy, and the snow lotus was a symbol of holiness in the Tuhana steppe, near the Great Snow Mountain. Being able to have a holy fortress is definitely the result of the blessing of the Immortal Heaven.

Each of the warriors was in high spirits, secretly urging their mounts to speed up, leaving even the fatigue of a half-day gallop behind.

The phalanx of 150,000 people swept over the Gobi with maroon and red as the main color, like a large dark cloud rushing towards the fortress. Miles away, the rumbling hooves of horses were beating like war drums.

Five miles away from the fortress, the Tutu warrior suddenly parted to the two wings, like a Haidongqing spreading its iron wings, flying past the fortress and reaching the cliff by the sea.

In less than half an hour, a huge U-shaped encirclement was formed, enveloping the white fortress.

Turil gave the order, and a low horn sounded throughout the Timurid army. Thousands of rangers changed horses and crossed around the fortress.

The rest of the warriors dismounted and stood beside their horses, replenishing themselves and their horses with water and recuperation.

Turrier was not prepared to do anything about horses. It is also unrealistic for an army of 150,000 people to play any surprise attack.

The Qingyun Continent has a very high force index, and the consequence is that every warrior is extremely strong in all aspects of physical fitness, including eyesight and hearing, which are ten times superior to the Blue Star people.

Unless it is an assassin who has specialized in stealth and concealment, such a large wave of people is rushing towards it violently, if the enemy situation cannot be found in the fortress, unless the warriors of the Xilai clan are all blind and deaf.

But in the face of the menacing iron horse, there was not much reaction in the Pubei Port Fortress.

The outposts outside the fortress had withdrawn from the fort early, and all the torches on the walls of the fortress had been extinguished. The bastion fell into an eerie silence.

Only in the various peepholes at the tip of the bastion are occasionally reflected in the lenses of the glasses. The observation posts were constantly probing the deployment of Timur's battle array, and the latest information was sent to the command center like a stream.

In the hall of the command center, a huge sand table is spread in it, which shapes the terrain of the surrounding hundreds of miles, and is full of colorful flags.

Outside the fortress, thirty black flags were planted in three directions, each representing five thousand people, which were the assault forces of the Timurid tribe. There were about 30,000 on each flank, and 90,000 for the Chinese army.

In the model of the fortress, ten small red flags represent the entire strength of the Xilai tribe.

Five thousand sailors remained on the ships. In order to prepare for the rocket attack of Timur's cavalry, the warships anchored five nautical miles from the port.

Only five thousand troops were deployed behind the inclined embankment. As the first wall, the inclined embankment was only a few meters high, but in combination with the first trench, it was effective in slowing down the enemy's charge and keeping large engineering equipment out.

The 5,000 former troops led by the vanguard were all hidden in the secret passage behind the inclined embankment. They don't take part in the first round of attacks.

The real main force of the attack was 10,000 crossbowmen deployed on the second wall. After the second line of trenches, there are 10,000 men in the second echelon ready for rotation.

As for the remaining 20,000 people, the Chinese army in the center of the fortress was on standby.

The three times as many enemy troops did not panic the Silai, and after the drills, the soldiers had full confidence in the fort's defenses.

This can be seen from the relaxed expressions of the generals in the command center.

The expression on the outside of the fortress was also relaxed.

After the army was encircled, even if there was a side near the harbor, the fleeing Xilai pirates could not escape the blow of the rain of arrows on both sides. The pirates sailed their ships far away from the harbor, apparently fearful of the world-famous archery skills of the Tutu Iron Horsemen.

What's even funnier is that none of the people in the fortress came out to talk and condemn their opponents. The cowardice of the Silai pirates is as legendary.

After carefully observing the structure of the fortress, Turriel could not help but admire the legendary Mr. Wen who helped design the fortress. This bastion is not only beautiful to look at, but the siege team in either direction will be hit from a distance from at least three directions.

"Yes, this fortress is quite cleverly designed. Compared to the boxy cities in the Eastern Continent, the defense power has increased at least twice. Turriel turned back to the captains on either side.

Captain Lichimi nodded and said, "It's really powerful." This time, we are afraid that the losses in the siege are not small. ”

Lichimi and Nuhachi, who stayed behind, were relatively rare "cautious" generals among the Timurid tribes.

The Tutu people have no danger to defend on the grassland, and they have always advocated attack, and their generals are mainly brave and fierce. These two people are considered outliers among them.

As a little khan, Turil's horizons are much broader, and these two are quite useful. Other generals don't think much of these two "cowards".

Sure enough, Captain Bode disagreed: "Even if the sheepfold is built early and firmly, it can't stop the wolves." These Silai pirates have long been so frightened by our Tutu Iron Cavalry that they pee their pants, and they are afraid that they will not even be able to pull their bows. ”

The rest of the captains laughed.

Tuliel also smiled: "This fortress is definitely a godsend treasure for our Tutu warriors. With our bows and arrows, no amount of enemies will be able to turn them back in vain. I wonder which warrior would be willing to help the king take this city?"

Bode and the others came to the front of the Turriel horse and asked for battle in unison.

Turiel smiled and said: "You don't need a knife to kill chickens, a few brothers don't be impatient" At the moment, he assigned two commanders, Belinke and Belintai, each with a thousand rangers to move forward to tempt.

The brothers Belinke and Belintai gladly led the troops, each with the cavalry of their headquarters turned over and mounted their horses, roared out of the Chinese army, and rushed straight to the fortress.

The observation post immediately reported the movement of enemy troops to the command center.

Gu Wen looked down at the small triangular black flag on the sand table, nodded and said, "The Tutu tribe is worthy of being a fighting nation, and the attack direction of these two thousand-person teams is quite good. ”

As he spoke, Gu Wen pointed to one of the small flags and said, "This light cavalry thousand-man team is directly facing the edges and corners of the fortress, and before going deep into the depression area of the fortress, the attack section of our army in this direction is the smallest. ”

"And another heavy cavalry thousand-man team" Gu Wen pointed to another small black flag:

"Their direction is towards the bottom of the groove, in order to test the strongest firepower of our troops. ”

Yong Tianxie smiled and said: "Tentative attack, let them come closer, and use the second city wall to fight back with half a thousand people." ”

Belink led a thousand light horsemen and galloped at medium speed to the fortress. Despite looking down on these cowardly Silai pirates, the Tutu knights paid enough attention to the battle when they actually fought.

The light cavalry advanced in a skirmish line, at least three horsemen at a distance from each other. At this distance, the effect of large-scale crossbow projectiles is mediocre.

The light cavalry was marching in the direction of the acute angle of the central bastion, and the opponent's attack was not as good as the flat wall.

Belintai's thousand-man heavy cavalry was much stronger. The heavy cavalry of the Tutu tribe is much lighter and thinner than the heavy cavalry of the Three Kingdoms, which is armed to the teeth.

There was less iron in the steppe, so except for the knights, the horses were not armored, but only covered with multiple layers of cowhide and linen. This multi-layered leather armor has less defense, but is lighter. Therefore, the speed of the Tutu heavy ride is faster.

Before entering the range of the fortress, Belintai restrained a thousand heavy horsemen to slow down at a dense pace.

When he entered the land of one arrow, Belintai Changge moved in one move, and the heavy cavalry held a scimitar in his right hand and a shield in his left arm, and began to attack the gate of the fortress in the recess of the fortress. (To be continued.) )
