Chapter 255: Sky Legion
Near, the 500,000 iron horsemen of the Alberon Empire have arrived at the gates of West Castle.
The bright armor shimmered with metallic luster, and looked extremely sharp and dazzling in the sunlight.
The flags drooped, and the intense heat blurred the scene in front of them, and the soldiers, who had been frightened, felt like they were in prison.
However, the soldiers of the empire still stood straight like a benchmark, and so far there has been no sound of surrender and cowardice.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
......
The terrible shouts of killing rose higher and higher, until finally they became the loudest sound in heaven and earth.
Every word shouted was filled with intense fanaticism and indifference, and the soldiers of the empire were like frightened birds, their faces full of fear.
Li Jun frowned, how long could an army of less than 100,000 people and already frightened by the enemy hold out?
Although West Castle can be called an "iron wall", it cannot withstand the crazy attack of the opponent's 500,000 fierce iron cavalry.
The ten "Roar of the Gods", the Alberon Empire should not use it, at least not on West Castle, after all, they also need a base, a base built in the desert.
Isn't West Castle a ready-made base, with arable land, water, houses, fruits and vegetables, and livestock.
Once the other side captures West Castle and builds it into the first strategic location of the Alberon Empire in the desert, the problem of logistics and material supply will be solved.
"Lord Duke, I suggest pouring hard oil on West Castle, once this place is lost, it is better to destroy West Castle than to fall into the hands of the enemy!" the lieutenant composed, and began to speak in an orderly manner.
Li Jun glanced at him, this is not your territory, your territory, you say that you will burn it, and it will not hurt your heart, but the first resort city that I built with great difficulty, and I haven't even returned to the book, how can I burn it directly with a fire?
"Your Excellency General, you better stabilize the morale of the army first, as for the rest, you don't have to worry about the rest. Li Jun's voice was cold, interrupting the adjutant general's proposal.
The adjutant general shook his head helplessly, and said, "Lord Duke, the army's morale is already in chaos, unless the other party's ten gates" gods roar "disappear", it is estimated that ...... Otherwise, this place will be conquered in less than a day......
Li Jun also knew that this was not a discouraged word, the morale of the other party was like a rainbow, and the murderous spirit was rumbling, and the imperial army was frightened, and it was estimated that they would have nightmares when they slept at night.
At this time, among the 500,000 enemy troops under the city, a bloody-eyed lion tiger ran out.
The Blood-Eyed Lion Tiger is also a powerful demonic beast, with a pair of red eyes like agate jade, and a body as large as a small mountain.
On the back of the blood-eyed lion tiger, there was a man sitting upright, and his costume should be that of an elderly general.
"Duke Li Jun, the supreme commander of our empire's war campaign against the Duchy of the Desert, let me bring you a few words, first, you must open the city gate and surrender before evening; second, before surrendering, you and the senior generals of the Tulip Empire must bring all your weapons to us; third, I would like you to write a letter of surrender and submit it to the relevant personnel of Modu, indicating that from now on, you will become a vassal state of my Alberon Empire and still enjoy the honor of the Grand Duke! Fourth, order the 200,000 troops deployed by the Desert Duchy in the eastern defense line area to surrender to the Fifth Empire nearby, and be under the unified custody of the Fifth Empire......"
Li Jun sat impatiently on the chair, turned the mechanical rotating handle, and the sound of the machine suddenly sounded, and a huge magic crossbow retracted into the groove.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out, and the enhanced Magic Bed crossbow was aimed at the blood-eyed liger, turning into a terrifying streamer that tore through the air and shot away.
Burst!
Roar......
The blood-eyed liger subconsciously raised its giant claws, covered with thick elemental energy, and turned into a thick earth shield, wanting to block the enhanced version of the magic bed crossbow. Unfortunately, the bed crossbow instantly burst the thick earth shield, turning the palm of the blood-eyed lion tiger into flesh.
The sharp piece of iron, driven by the wind elemental magic, pierced into the neck of the blood-eyed lion tiger, the throat was slit, and the front chest was densely packed, all like bullet holes.
Rumble!!
The behemoth fell, struggling and convulsing a few times, and then breathless.
"You!" the older general was furious, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers rushed quickly, surrounded the older general, and retreated into the army.
"Hmph, stubborn! Let's wait until the evening, at six o'clock, and if the other side still doesn't surrender, order the artillery and smash them!" the Supreme Commander snorted coldly.
"Hahaha, stupid duke, in the face of the absolute force of the Empire, resistance is doomed to the path of destruction. One of the generals scoffed loudly.
"The gods roar! We uphold the roar and roar of the gods, adhere to the will and faith of the 'gods', and the unification of the continent will no longer be a dream......
The other party had already corrected in place, had lunch, and had dinner at five o'clock.
It seems that a fierce battle in the evening is inevitable.
Siege warfare in the desert is actually the most opportune in the morning and evening.
During the day, the desert is so hot that you sweat after not walking a few steps, if you are doing strenuous exercise, it is purely an act of looking for death, and at night the temperature plummets, and the climate becomes very bad, if you encounter sandstorms, hurricanes, etc., it is undoubtedly the most powerful for the side defending the city.
Li Jun absentmindedly ate steak and drank ale.
Jiu'er nibbled on a melon fruit, patted her little belly with satisfaction, lay on Li Jun's shoulder, opened her dark eyes, and looked at him quietly, her face full of curiosity and incomprehension, I don't know why he was worried.
Li Jun bit Jiu'er's tail, rubbed its round face, and said, "After raising you for so many years, why doesn't my little Jiu'er grow up?"
Jiu'er glanced at him, hummed and turned his head, his face full of arrogance.
"My lord, do you still have the heart to tease your pet here? The time of destruction is coming soon, and now that the morale of the army is unstable, there are four officers who plan to open the city gate and surrender without permission!"
"Dear lieutenant, wait until evening, I naturally have a way to deal with them, you just need to drag the other party until evening. Li Jun said lightly.
The lieutenant nodded in disbelief, sighed, and turned to leave.
......
"It's night, open the door and surrender!" shouted an officer as he approached the gates of Westcastle.
The lieutenant shouted: "Please allow us to think about it for an hour!"
The officer hesitated and ran back to the army to ask the Supreme Commander for instructions.
"Half an hour, half an hour, if you don't open the door and surrender again, attack directly!" said the Supreme Commander indifferently.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and when the officer came to the wall again, before he could shout, the adjutant added: "Please allow us half an hour to consider!"
"No way! The gates must be opened and surrendered in three minutes!" the Supreme Commander roared, losing patience.
Burst!
An arrow pierced the neck of the shouting officer, and the huge head fell with a gurgling fall, blood splattered incessantly, and the frightened sand beast roared, carrying the headless corpse, and ran back the same way.
Everyone was stunned, and the Supreme Commander's face was gloomy, feeling that he had been tricked by the other party, he drew his delicate sword, and roared angrily at West Castle: "Shoot them!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom......
Heavy artillery fire formed a suppressive full coverage, shattering the first section of the wall by a fifth, leaving it devastated and engulfed in flames.
All the soldiers had secretly retreated to the second section of the defensive wall, and the remaining eighty light and heavy guns were also transferred to the second section of the defensive wall and erected on the high ground.
The mechanical trebuchet kept working, and the huge explosive stones were thrown high into the air by the trebuchet, and smashed towards the enemy's charging cavalry phalanx.
Boom, boom, boom, boom......
The boulders were blown apart, turning into skull-sized gravel, easily smashing the bodies of a row of soldiers, even swordsmen and swordsmen, in front of the gravel with terrible falling force and explosive momentum, they were either dead or injured.
Bang!
The heavy gate was smashed open by the wolf's head hammer, and the Dao Fire Burst Magic erupted from the wolf's mouth, and the burning city gate was scorched black.
"Kill!!"
The gate of the first section of the city wall fell, and 500,000 iron horsemen rushed to occupy the first section of the city wall quickly.
"Fire!!"
The Imperial artillery fired, and the second section of the wall was much higher than the first, forming a condescending fire suppression and attack, while the third section of the wall was also a little higher than the second section of the wall, and the facilities and protection were more complete and solid.
The "Roar of the Gods" was left outside West Castle to prevent it from being taken by the enemy if something happened inside.
Left 100,000 people outside the castle to respond, and was also responsible for protecting the safety of the Ten Gates of Roar of the Gods.
The siege team moved, one by one the ladder carts arrived in front of the second section of the city wall, banging a few times, more than ten iron hooks at the front of the ladder, firmly hooked the city wall, the light cavalry on the ladder vertically and horizontally, moving quickly, one by one covered with sharp spikes of rolling wood slid down the ladder, crushing the cavalry and war horses, all turned into a puddle of flesh.
After an hour of fierce fighting, night had fallen, the sky was completely dark, and the siege team of the Alberon Empire also retreated to the first section of the city wall to rest.
In a clearing, Li Jun sat on the back of a griffin, and behind him was a Chimera demonic beast.
The guards were ready, their spears clenched, their armor strapped, their reins firmly gripping with nervous faces.
The machine fixed their ankles, like dragon knights, and looked up at the starry sky and the moon, where they would be the battlefield! )
