Chapter 30: Recovering the Blood Moon (2)
Looking at this Blood Moon City, which was a little taller than Houston, Li Feng knew that this siege battle would not be easy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although because of the troops of Shockman and the Duchy of Grotte, nearly half of the army of the Burial Eagle Kingdom was transferred to the border of the two principalities, but there are still nearly 50,000 elite divisions in Blood Moon City.
In addition to the remnants of less than 60,000 soldiers of the first, third, and fourth divisions led by Duke Fili, the rest of the siege army consisted of 10,000 men from two wings supported by the Forcant family and about 30,000 noble private troops from all over the country.
An army of almost 100,000 seems to be a lot, almost twice the strength of the Burial Eagle Kingdom, but the people are defending the city, and one Blood Moon City is enough to make up for the difference in the strength of the 50,000.
Moreover, among the 100,000 troops, there were more than 40,000 noble private troops, and less than 60,000 were really under the control of Grand Duke Fili.
Among these nobles, except for the Forcante family, who sincerely want to assist Duke Fili in recovering Blood Moon City, the rest of the nobles are faster than anyone else in fighting a good battle and earning some military merits, but if they really put their hard-trained army into the bottomless pit of siege warfare, I am afraid they will all hypocritically humble each other!
According to the current situation, the best way is actually to besiege Blood Moon City, the consumption of grain and grass for 50,000 troops of the Burial Eagle Kingdom in a day is a huge number, without the support of the Burial Eagle Kingdom, I am afraid that within three months, the enemy army in the Blood Moon City will die without a fight because of the lack of food and grass.
But often the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny, I heard that the king of the Burial Eagle Kingdom is already reorganizing the army, preparing to lead the 10,000 Praetorian Guards of the Imperial Palace to kill the Blood Moon City.
Don't underestimate the Praetorian Guards who only have 10,000, but these are all real tiger and wolf divisions, the real elite of the Burial Eagle Kingdom, and the advanced combat power is unknown among the Praetorian Guards, and it is really not too easy for such an elite army to make up for the gap of 50,000 with 10,000.
In fact, when Duke Fili learned that the Burial Eagle Kingdom was preparing to send the Praetorian Guard to the war, he wrote a letter recommending the King of Chino Kingdom to send troops to help, but unfortunately King Chino refused on the grounds that the safety of the capital was more important than everything.
So Duke Filip is in a very bad situation now, he no longer has the will and confidence to just leave Houston and want to recover Blood Moon City, but now the soldiers are in the city and have to fight!
"Fortunately, there is the support of the Forcante family," the Duke said to himself, with some rejoicing.
Looking at the trebuchets and siege engines lined up in front of him, the Duke's newly declining confidence rose slightly.
Under the orders of Duke Fili, more than a hundred trebuchets bombarded the tower of Blood Moon City for a day, and the rumbling sound made Li Feng's ears tingle a little.
Li Feng had to admire the quality and range of the trebuchets made by the Fukante family, I am afraid that the army of the Burial Eagle Kingdom on the city tower has long hated these chirping trebuchets.
It's a pity that their crude trebuchets can't reach the army of the Chino Kingdom even if they are erected on top of the towering city tower, and this kind of taste that can only be beaten passively Li Feng feels bad for the enemy troops on the city tower.
After a day of bombardment, the next day Duke Fili seized the opportunity of the enemy's low morale to launch a relentless attack on this important border city.
The first wing of the 3rd Division was the first wing, followed by the 2nd wing of the 1st division, and with a dense array of bows and arrows, the two wings launched a death charge towards the city of Blood Moon with an army of 10,000 men.
The mages at the rear of the battlefield also gathered, waving their wands in an attempt to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.
It was destined to be a never-ending decisive battle to the death, one soldier fell, another soldier reinforced, one wing collapsed, and another wing continued to charge.
The towering Blood Moon City was filled with a living corpse, stepping on the corpses of friendly soldiers to climb up, at this time there seemed to be no fear, no so-called generals and soldiers, only a group of Chino people who swore to the death in order to siege the city and survive!
Time is ticking, blood is flowing, and the roar never stops!
Life is endless, and the fight to the death is endless!
Finally it was Li Feng's turn to be the Fifth Wing of the Third Division, fortunately, the Fifth Wing was following the world-famous Fukante Family's Iron Armor Wing, Li Feng once again expressed his deep admiration for this iron army wrapped in thick armor!
The bow and arrow that was the nightmare of the army of the Kingdom of Chino before looked so weak when it was shot on this iron army, and only the boulder thrown could cause fatal damage to this iron army!
Li Feng exclaimed bitterly in his heart, it was really a pity that such an elite would be used for siege! If they fought on the plains, what kind of fear should these invulnerable iron troops cause to the enemy!
This group of iron troops successfully attracted the attention of all the soldiers defending the city of the Burial Eagle Kingdom, and the fifth wing that followed behind was habitually ignored, and the ladder was erected, whether it was the soldiers of the iron armor wing or the soldiers of the fifth wing, they were desperate to move towards a common goal!
Although the defense of the Iron Armor Wing is amazing, under the desperate resistance of the Chino Kingdom army, the Iron Armor Wing also suffered great losses.
The soldiers of the Iron Armored Wing fell from the high ladder like beans, and the heavy armor not only failed to assist the defense, but because of the increase in weight, the falling iron men became a mess of flesh.
This is war, and no one will be merciful, because no one wants to be cruel to themselves!
Although the losses were heavy, the soldiers of the Iron Armor Wing finally set foot on the tower of Blood Moon City, although they might usher in more than a dozen swords as soon as they went up, but one after another Iron Man climbed the tower and stood on his heels!
When Li Feng led the soldiers of the third brigade to set foot on the Blood Moon City Wall, the soldiers of the Iron Armor Wing had already occupied half of the city wall, fighting to the death against the enemy army several times their own with their sturdy armor.
At this point in the war, there was no longer the so-called idea of saving lives, and there was only one word: "kill".
Li Feng led the special operations team to charge in front, and the other six teams followed, constantly harvesting the enemy troops scattered by the Iron Armor Wing.
The battle from the city wall to the city, Li Feng's crazy killing, desperate harvesting of human heads, these are all war exploits, if he wants to obtain the position of baron, in addition to the strength of the silver knight, a huge amount of combat exploits are also essential.
The city gate was opened, and Duke Fili, who had been waiting for a long time, led the whole army to launch a death charge, and those nobles saw that the enemy army was about to be defeated, and they also desperately led their private army to "desperately" squirm towards Blood Moon City.
Blood Moon City was completely soaked in blood, and in a trance, Li Feng seemed to see a blood-red crescent moon hanging in the air, quietly watching all this......
I ask for a recommendation and collect it
