Chapter 427: Siege
The Quanzhen Sect Leader Shao Gujiao walked with a sword, and his body was as straight as Lei Lei Ancient Song. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His ally, Xue Dingye, the head of Tianzi Peak, rode a tall horse, walking at the forefront of the formation, close to two meters tall, and became more and more tall.
"Look at that city, it's really prosperous. ”
Sao Gujiao stroked his beard, his eyes fixed on the town in front of him and smiled.
Since Luoyi was burned, Mengjin, which is close to Luoyi and controls the water transportation artery, has become a distribution center in the Central Plains, plus Su Mengzhen is good at management in the past 20 years, Wu Feng has succeeded to the throne and has developed, and now Mengjin Castle has gathered more than 100,000 people.
"It's just ants. Schrödinger said coldly and twisted the whiskers of the white cat in his arms.
"The ant-people create wealth for the lords, and the lords deceive and fool the lords, saying that their survival depends on their own protection, and that the world is nothing more than that. As long as there is no reckless force, whether it is prosperous or not is not determined by geographical location?"
"Just like the land of the Western Regions, the endless sand sea, it should be poor and barren, but because it is located in the center of the Silk Road, it is extremely rich. Could this be attributed to the fact that King Wanpeng is good at governance?"
He transmits his voice into the secret, and his words do not enter the ears of the soldiers.
Shao Gujiao smiled and said nothing, but Xue Dingye understood what he meant.
Shao Gujiao, who was born in the old aristocracy, felt that the Xue family was just born as an ant people.
But Schrödinger didn't care, the fragile alliance between the two factions might not last long, and if the war against the Divine Hall went well, it might end soon.
If the ant people come up by their own struggle, they are no longer ants. And if the nobles lose their identity, they will not care about the nobility of blood, and they will fall into the dust.
The inner city of Mengjin is where the main altar of the shrine is located, and it is extremely strong. However, the outer city wall is only newly built, used to protect the increasingly vast and prosperous market, and it is not tall and steep, nor is it blessed by the power of martial spirits.
The alliance forces of Tianzi Peak and the Quanzhen Sect have already stormed the city like a swarm of ants.
The militia is in the front, and the soldiers are in the rear. A large number of siege weapons such as rushing cars and wooden beasts provided by Shi Xinqing were as dense as ants.
The smoke and dust in the sky were splashed by the waves, and when I looked at it from afar, I felt that the city was crumbling.
The trumpet of the charge was like the roar of a beast, and it was about to lift the ground into the sky.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of a landslide cracking opened up on the plain, the fire was shining in the sky, and the ground trembled like a wave under the heavy blow!
The two big-headed soldiers at the center of the explosion were blown apart in an instant, and their bodies were gone. More than a dozen people next to him also broke their legs and broke their legs, lying on the ground bleeding and humming in pain.
"It's not good, it's Western artillery!"
Someone exclaimed.
"What are you afraid of?"
A gray-haired general angrily reprimanded that he was one of the four great generals of Iwakura, Hua Xiao, who threw himself into Shi Xinqing when Iwakura Castle was broken, and was borrowed by Shao Gujiao because he was good at attacking cities.
"This cannon is not very accurate, and it will take a while to shoot a shot, but it is scary to look at. Hua Xiaosheng said: "You just need to disperse the formation, pay attention to dodge, and naturally there will be nothing to do." ”
Before the words fell, more roaring and roaring sounds sounded from the city.
There is not only one Western giant cannon, but it is true that as Hua Xiaosheng said, the accuracy of the head is not good, after the first shot, everyone has vigilance, and only one of the ten more shots hits the person, and only one or two people are killed or injured.
The soldiers gradually ceased to be afraid, and divided into small groups of three or five people, scattered the attack, and when they reached the base of the wall, they climbed the city with a hook ladder.
But the city was also full of rocks and oil, so that the first soldiers who climbed the city screamed and screamed, and most of the people climbed halfway, and when they saw that the momentum was not good, they had to dodge and jump down, and the ladder was smashed to pieces.
The militia often did not have enough skills to avoid it, and when they were doused with boiling oil, the whole person would become a fire and burn, emitting a pungent scorching smell, and the tragic appearance of being burned alive was really unbearable.
In every war, only a very small number of people die.
People believed this, so they were lucky, under the persecution of the lord, to go to the bloody killing field for the promised wealth.
However, after one fierce battle after another, those who survived became a minority.
A few people from the ancient war are still alive.
But everyone has selfish intentions, so the world is in chaos. Selfish people hope to start a war with selfish intentions and end this troubled world of strife through bloodshed!
Contradiction also!
Hua Xiaoliang and Cloud Dao Lord, with a team, pushed several huge rushing carts and forced towards the city gate!
The punch is made of hardwood, with a punch inlaid with fine iron and a shield on the wings, which are inlaid with precious crystals to enhance its firmness.
Around the rushing car, there are fighters armed with large iron rods in charge of wing protection.
Rumble!
In the midst of the flying arrows, the first rushing car first crashed into the thick city gates.
The gates roared and crumbled.
And at this moment, the leader of the archers in the city also shouted: "Quickly pour the boulder and the boiling oil down!"
Huge boulders and boiling oil poured down from the tall walls and pressed down on the convoy.
But the brawlers wielded iron sticks to push away the boulders, and there were also agile men who held thick stone slabs to block the boiling oil, allowing it to fall into the empty space.
Even so, there are people who are hit by boulders, their heads are broken and bleeding, and they are killed on the spot, or they are splashed with boiling oil, their skin is rotten, their skin is rotten, they scream, and they roll on the ground, and the situation is unbearable.
Reserves were constantly being sent to the front of the city gates to replenish the losses, and a large number of militiamen rushed forward as cannon fodder.
Bang!
A rushing car was hit by three boulders at the same time, and it was finally unable to resist it, and it was reduced to iron sheets and wood chips and fell apart.
Seeing that the wheels were still intact, Hua Xiaosheng immediately ordered the sappers to remove them and replace them with the rushing cars behind, and several rushing vehicles slammed into the city gate at the same time.
"Brothers work together, bang!"
An angry dragon-like aura swept out of Hua Xiaoxiao's body, turning into a strong energy storm and blessing all the rushing cars.
Several rushing vehicles accelerated at the same time, slamming into the thick city gate, and the energy gathered together like a vortex.
An earth-shattering explosion was born at the edge of the city gate, and the dazzling fire was like ten days blooming!
Siege weapon tactics - city gate blasting!
With a bang, the city gate made of Xuantie could not withstand the impact of such a tactic, and it was torn apart.
But at the same time, one after another fire snakes shot out from inside the city gate, and the sound of bursting was endless!
"Not good!" the Cloud Dao Lord exclaimed in surprise and spun back.
But those big-headed soldiers didn't have such good skills. The rushing cars were smashed by iron cannons, not to mention the flesh and blood, whether they were sappers or brawlers, all of them turned into blood and bones under the fierce firepower.
"It was expected. Hua Xiaosheng sneered, withdrew like electricity, grabbed a ladder, and rushed up first.
The siege tactics attracted the attention of the city, but Hua Xiaoliang led a team of dead soldiers to kill the city.
Hua Xiaoni lifted the knife and killed people when he saw them, and three people were already cut down by him in an instant.
He was born in Iwakura, and now Shishiqing rebelled against the Divine Hall, which made him extremely happy, not to mention attacking Wu Feng's lair Mengjin, and he was extremely hard to fight.
At this moment, a dark light in the void stabbed out.
"The enemy will die. ”
Dressed in white, a lonely shadow, the sword said proudly.
Shi Yitian is a killer from the Shentang Assassin Battalion.
Although he was a recent recruiter and had never been on the battlefield, he also wanted to make a name for himself.
Hua Shallot slapped the sword back, blocking his sword.
Shi Yitian had already taken precautions, he pulled a sword flower, avoided the sword, and lowered his body with a rear iron plate bridge, and slashed at Hua Xiaoxiao's legs.
But at that moment, a thump shot rang out in my ears.
The severe pain made Shi Yitian's sword fall to the ground.
"This ...... You don't follow the rules!"
The Cloud Dao Lord and others under the city used iron cannons to beat Shi Yitian into a sieve.
He didn't understand the real rules of the battlefield until he died.
The rules of the battlefield are written with the blood of countless rookies like Shi Yitian.
Hua Shallot snorted, contemptuous of the rookie killer's ignorance, and slashed a gunner with another knife.
His eyes lit up.
It would be a great credit to be able to capture a huge cannon.
Hua Shallot and the dead soldiers under his command are close to him.
But he would never have imagined that he would live less than ten breaths longer than Shi Yitian.
With a thud, the cannon shattered into countless sharp fragments.
One of Iwakura's four generals, Hua Shallot, was the first to be ground into many pieces of human flesh.
Dozens of elite dead soldiers around him were also fried into meat sauce.
The power of the explosive chamber of the artillery is not comparable to that of ordinary shell explosions.
Apparently this was a man-made explosion.
The soldiers under the city were in an uproar and fled.
At the gate of the city, the warriors of the temple slashed and slashed, rushing out of a river of blood, and the gunners also shot at the backs of the fleeing enemy soldiers, killing a lot of people.
This almost turned into a major defeat, and it was not easy for Shao Gujiao to maintain order, but his morale had been demoralized, and it was difficult to continue the siege in a short time.
"The Western cannon itself has no practical effect, it is better to use it for ambush. Shao Gu taught: "Sure enough, it's Su Guang." ”
"This guy once fought with 500 troops to resist the tens of thousands of troops of Zen Master Xuezhai and Long Aotian in March, and killed Zhao Zhonggao, a famous general of Sanhe. Brother Xue Dao has any good strategy to break the enemy?"
In any case, before Wu Feng returns to the division, he must capture Mengjin City, if it is delayed for too long, and the veterans of the division are tired, I am afraid that he is not Wu Feng's opponent.
"There are too many people on our side. ”
Xue Dingye said something that made Shao Gujiao confused.
