Chapter 408: Siege on
readx;
The imperial army relied on Dajue to set up the "Seven Swords Absolute God Array" and conquered the difficulties of the Holy Lotus Sect's "Dachuan Rain Array" in one fell swoop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although there are still dark clouds over Tianjing City, it is not as heavy as before.
And Da Jue rushed to the palace to find trouble with the emperor, but Xu Yang and other generals did not expect it, and they never expected that Da Jue would be so bold and dare to kill the emperor.
Xu Yang and other generals saw that although it was no longer raining in the sky, the road to Tianjing City was full of quagmires of different sizes, which brought inconvenience to the marching army. Therefore, the only way to do this is to wait for the ground to dry up before launching an attack on Tianjing City.
Unexpectedly, everyone waited like this, it was only three or four days before they saw that the ground leading to Tianjing City could march.
During this period, the last two waves of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion came to the Xiaogu Town military camp to converge, and the "Dachuan Rain Array" of the Holy Lotus Sect did not start again.
So, before the dawn of the fourth day, the imperial army launched a general attack on Tianjing City.
Because of the consideration that when the army attacked Tianjing City, the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect would come to attack Xiaogu Town, the two generals Chen Dingqing and Zhu Chiyan and 50,000 soldiers stayed in Xiaogu Town, while the rest of Xu Yang and others led 150,000 soldiers to advance towards Tianjing City.
Xu Yang rode on the back of the unicorn and watched as the army got closer and closer to Tianjing, while the siege equipment behind the army marched slowly.
And just as the imperial army was approaching Tianjing City step by step, the soldiers who were far away on the tower of Tianjing City Chicheng City had already noticed the black and oppressive army coming from the west, and hurriedly blew the horn, beat the gong and shouted, and the sound spread throughout the city, informing them that the enemy army was coming towards their side.
In an instant, the Holy Lotus Sect personnel on the wall of Tianjing City were all standing at their respective posts, and they were vigilant and prepared for the arduous defense of the city.
The imperial army marched mightily to a place two miles away from Tianjing City before stopping to make the last rearmament of the army. And the place where they stop is the place where neither of them can hurt each other, and they pay attention to each other's every move.
The Holy Lotus Sect personnel in Tianjing City all knew that as long as they held on to the city for two or three months, and when Moeller repaired the "Dachuan Rain Array", the imperial army's army would collapse without a fight, and the final victory would eventually be their own.
And the imperial army's army also knew the urgency of the siege, if it could not capture Tianjing within two or three months, then the army would eventually have to evacuate Tianjing.
Therefore, both sides know that this shopping struggle is extremely difficult, and they dare not relax in the slightest.
Xu Yang watched Bai Bifang and Shi Anhei reorganize the army, and at this moment, the sun was also hanging high, and there was silence all around, only the pre-war encouraging voices of the generals from all walks of life could be heard behind him.
Xu Yang raised his eyes and looked towards Tianjing City.
I saw that the Tianjing City Wall could not see the edge left and right, the city wall was towering into the sky, and the city wall was full of dense Holy Lotus Sect soldiers, one by one looking at their side attentively, and they had also made defensive preparations in advance.
When Xu Yang saw that the Tianjing City Wall in front of him was so tall, he knew that it would not be easy to conquer the lower Tianjing, and he had to shed blood and sacrifice during the period.
Just when Xu Yang was thinking wildly, he heard a loud drum sound of "dong dong" from the army, the sound changed from slow to fast, from light to heavy, and the sound of drums resounded through the world and was deafening. It was as if a talisman was ringing out. Immediately after, the army also boiled, and the army advanced towards Tianjing City step by step.
After the imperial army marched to a place thousands of kilometers away from Tianjing City, it stopped again, and the soldiers and generals in front retreated to the back, and the siege machinery such as giant artillery and stone-throwing machinery were pushed to the front of the army, loading ammunition, carrying boulders, and igniting fireballs。。。。。。 Make all the preparations before the siege.
"Attack。。。。。。 Bai Bifang gave an order.
Under Bai Bifang's order, the sound of "fluttering" and "booming" was endless, and a large area of dazzling fireballs and boulders smashed towards the tall Tianjing city wall.
In an instant, the tall city walls were covered in dense and connected firelight, and the sound of the impact was earth-shattering, and the ground shook.
I saw that the walls of Tianjing City were full of scorching heat, and the screams and the sound of artillery attacks were integrated, as if a hell on earth was gradually staged.
Xu Yang watched as the artillery continued to attack the city, and the Tianjing City in his field of vision had become a sea of fire, dazzling, splashing firelight, the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and the billowing smell of blood was also pervasive into the nostrils.
And just when the imperial army continued to smash Chaotian Capital City, I saw that the Holy Lotus Sect in Tianjing City also began to counterattack with artillery and boulders.
So, I saw that the air was full of fireballs and boulders back and forth, and the cannon fire was even in the sky, and the illuminated heaven and earth were eclipsed, and the frictional air was hot.
Since the imperial army's army was standing outside the range of the other side, and the Holy Lotus Sect's artillery and giant machinery were all placed in the city, the imperial army was able to hit Tianjing, but the Holy Lotus Sect in Tianjing City could not hit the imperial army.
Even so, there were fireballs and boulders falling in the imperial army, blooming on all sides, and the flames were flying, killing and injuring a large number of people in an instant. The rest of the fireballs landed in front of the army, creating a wall of fire. And the Holy Lotus Sect defending the city suffered even more casualties.
The Holy Lotus Sect may have discovered the weakness of its side, and the fireballs and boulders gradually decreased, until they stopped, and they no longer fought indiscriminately at the imperial army.
As the imperial army continued to attack the city with fireballs and boulders, Tianjing City also became a sea of fire, and the city walls were full of potholes, and they were in a mess. But the tall and thick city walls have not been smashed into a single gap.
Xu Yang saw that although the city wall was scarred, it still stood in the horizon, and there was no gap for entering the city, and he was secretly speechless, he didn't expect that Tianjing City was really a fortress that was difficult to overcome.
After the siege fireball of the imperial army was almost exhausted, it gradually stopped attacking, but in front of it became a world filled with gunsmoke and a sea of fire, especially Tianjing City, which was even more miserable.
Looking down from the heights, there was a sea of fire between the imperial army and Tianjing City, and the two ends were peaceful.
When the smoke and fire were almost gone, Bai Bifang took out the order flag and pointed directly at Tianjing City, and shouted: "Siege!" As soon as the voice fell, the sound of drums and shouts suddenly rang out.
I saw soldiers holding thick and heavy shields walking in front, squatting soldiers with bows and crossbows and firearms below, and followed by ladders, siege towers, crash vehicles, and impact piles for climbing, and quickly approached in the direction of Tianjing City.
And just when the imperial army was rapidly approaching Tianjing City, when it was still a few hundred meters away from Tianjing City, they suddenly saw rows of Holy Lotus Sect personnel standing up on the city wall with a "boom", pulling the Xuan with arrows, holding up the fire guns, and aiming directly at the imperial soldiers who were attacking the city below.
When the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect heard the order of their commander, they did not hesitate to shoot a rain of arrows and tongues of fire at the imperial soldiers who were attacking the city, and instantly put down pieces of imperial troops.
At the same time, a deafening "boom" and "boom" sound were heard in Tianjing City, and fireballs and boulders flew out of the city and were thrown at the imperial army besieging the city.
Previously, the Holy Lotus Sect's stone-throwing carts and artillery could not hit the imperial army, but after the imperial army approached the Tianjing City, it was also within the attack range of these giant weapons, and they were densely packed and smashed towards the imperial army.
Before the imperial army approached Tianjing City, the Holy Lotus Sect began a stubborn counterattack, falling towards the imperial army in a overwhelming manner, thus causing the imperial army to be killed and wounded one after another.
Even though the Holy Lotus Sect fought back fiercely, the imperial army still rushed towards Tianjing City desperately, and everywhere they ran, they left behind pieces of corpses.
In an instant, the imperial army arrived under the towering city walls. Immediately after, the ladders, siege towers, and ramming vehicles used for climbing also came to the city, and while hitting the heavy city gates, the ladders and siege towers were built on the side of the city walls, and they rushed towards the Tianjing City City desperately.
And with the arrival of the imperial court under the city walls, artillery and stone throwers were no longer useful.
As a result, the Holy Lotus Sect changed its tactics again, shooting indiscriminately downwards with bows and crossbows, smashing boulders and giant trees downwards, and splashing hot oil and boiling water downwards.
As a result, the city wall once again became a sea of fire, and the imperial army screamed and struggled in the sea of fire, and desperately fought back at the Holy Lotus Sect on the tall city wall, but with little success.
On the ladder of the imperial army, soldiers climbed one by one, constantly pouring upward, and while fighting back with the firearms and bows and crossbows in their hands. And before the soldiers on the ladder reached the top of the city wall, they had already been overturned by the Holy Lotus Sect.
The siege tower of the imperial court was huge, and it was filled with many soldiers, and at the moment of approaching the Tianjing city wall, one by one the soldiers rushed to the city wall, and they started a close-range white-knuckle battle with the Holy Lotus Sect.
At the gate of Tianjing City, the imperial army used a collision car and a huge wooden stake to continuously hit the heavy city gate, only to shake the city wall and tremble, shouting one after another, and the sound of "boom" was overwhelming.
Directly above the city gate, the Holy Lotus Sect used rolling stones and boulders to smash downward, causing the soldiers of the imperial court to die wave after wave, and replace wave after wave. Allowing the Holy Lotus Sect to interfere overhead, it still banged on the city gate without hesitation, and it was bound to knock the city gate open.
Behind the city gate in Tianjing City, the Holy Lotus Sect is constantly piling up huge stones behind the gate, piling up like a mountain, just in case of accidents.
The court soldiers who used the siege tower to leap into the city wall, although they took a crucial step, the number of the Holy Lotus Sect was too much, which caused the court soldiers to face the encirclement of dozens of people, outnumbered, and died tragically on the city wall one after another.
