c_t; A fire bomb landed accurately in the catapult position, causing a fire, and more than a dozen catapults were instantly reduced to ashes, but fortunately there was a long distance between them, so that no more damage was caused. The other catapults focused on www.biquge.info catapults placed at the city's heads, quickly smashing them into parts.

The intensive attack of the Gucci army quickly broke the resistance of the catapults at the head of the city, and some of the fire bombs even broke because they were hit by stone bullets, and a huge fire was ignited on the head of the city. Fortunately, the fire prevention preparations at the head of the city were sufficient, and some soldiers covered the sand with grease, which barely extinguished the flames, but the resistance at the head of the city gradually stopped.

The Gucci army fired more than a dozen rounds of stone bullets in one go, and they did not stop until there were no more moving figures on the city. Seeing that there was no sound from the other city's head, Chen Feng immediately ordered the troops of a legion to launch a charge and besiege Tula Fort from three directions at the same time, in an attempt to capture it in one fell swoop.

There were a small number of lookouts at the head of the city, and they were hiding from the attack in the fortified towers, and it was not until they saw that the other party was attacking again, and they reported the situation to the officers. Hearing that the other side had attacked again, the army defending the city came out of the cave and returned to their defensive area again.

All the defenders lay in ambush behind the women's wall, not daring to come out, and they watched through the lookout as the charging procession approached closer and closer. The Gucci Army was very confident in their own firepower, and seeing that they had already attacked the front line of the opponent and still not been attacked, this made them much more courageous. The Gucci soldiers who rushed ahead began to shout and quicken their pace, and their ladders quickly reached the top of the city. Read the full text of the latest chapter

This time there were many attacking troops, and the dense ladders soon covered the nearby city walls, and countless soldiers crawled towards the top of the city, hoping to capture the fortress as soon as possible.

Commanders of all levels gave the order to counterattack almost at the same time, and the archers who were hiding suddenly straightened up and fired fiercely at the soldiers on the other wall, and the killed Gucci soldiers fell one after another. Those who did not have bows and arrows used rocks and logs to deal with the ladders, knocking down those who had climbed halfway up.

Originally, they had already suffered heavy losses because the other party was beaten by the catapult and completely lost their ability to resist, but now they were hit back by such a fierce response, which caught them off guard for a while. The archers who were covering the city were watching the soldiers climb up to the top of the city with their hands on their backs, not even preparing for the necessary attack. When the defenders' arrows rained down, they were busy drawing arrows and drawing bows, and as a result, precious time was lost.

By the time the archers of the Gucci Army were ready to shoot their arrows, the defending archers had already shot down most of the besieging soldiers, and they shifted their aim to shoot at the unsheltered archers below. Caught from both sides, the archers of the Gucci army under the city were suddenly a little confused, although they tried their best to shoot at the defenders, but at such a close distance, it was difficult to attack the defenders at the head of the city, and their hands were easily numb for a long time.

Compared with the archers of the Gucci Army, the defenders were much more relaxed, they not only hid most of their bodies behind the female wall, but also suppressed them condescendingly, and suddenly stood a lot on the geographical advantage, and the archers of the Gucci Army under the city began to suffer casualties, and as more and more of their companions fell, those archers finally became frightened.

Under the heavy barrage of bows and arrows of the defenders, the besieging force once again chose to retreat, discarding the broken ladders and corpses all over the ground at the foot of the walls of the fort of Tula.

Looking at the defenders who suddenly appeared and gave a large number of casualties to his own soldiers, Chen Feng frowned tightly, facing the strangely shaped Tula Fort, he really felt that the tiger had nowhere to put his mouth.

Just when Chen Feng besieged Tula Fort to no avail, Chen Jicheng also suffered similar difficulties. Under the guidance of those skilled sailors, the Gucci Navy was lucky enough to avoid two storms and appeared in an area twenty nautical miles away from Lianyungang.

Chen Jicheng paused the fleet and began to assign tasks to the ships, preparing to start the attack. However, what Chen Jicheng didn't know was that his huge fleet had already been discovered.

Fearing that a passing merchant ship would spot his tracks, Chen chose to stay away from the route and ventured out on the open side, only to avoid the lookout posts set up on the high mountains along the way. However, when they anchored in the sea twenty nautical miles away from Lianyungang, their whereabouts were exposed.

Theoretically, even the best lookouts could only be 12 nautical miles away, so they should be very safe here. Unless Lianyungang sent a patrol fleet, it would be impossible to find their traces at all.

It's a pity that Chen Jicheng didn't know that on both sides of the channel of Lianyungang Port, there are two towering mountains, each of which is about a kilometer away, and in the harbor fort on the high mountain, there are lookout posts all year round. Originally, there were only lookout posts stationed there, and it was still difficult for their eyes to detect the fleet, but with the telescopes produced by the Shouyang Chamber of Commerce, it was different.

Discovering the huge fleet moored in the open sea, the lookout post immediately sounded an alarm, and the entire Lianyungang was suddenly busy. In charge of the defense here is Ryan, who has ended his wandering life and entered the Shouyang territory. This former No. 1 master of the Demon Dragon Academy, with his true strength, has risen steadily in the past two years, and now he is the division commander of the fifth local ** division.

Now, after the change of defense in various departments, the Fifth ** Division was stationed in Lianyungang to defend. Originally, Ryan was still complaining about Fang Ruitao recently, not giving him the opportunity to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't expect to come to him so soon. Hearing that there was an enemy attack, Ryan jumped up directly from his chair, he ordered the troops to enter the position immediately, and he himself took his direct squadron and climbed the Tiger Mountain on the left outside Lianyungang.

Tiger Mountain and Yashan Mountain surround the entire Lianyungang, and while serving as a natural breakwater for the port, it also shoulders the task of defending the port. For the defense of the port, Fang Ruitao, who had taken precautions, had already built a fortification group on two high mountains.

The fortifications were made entirely of concrete, with three batteries on each hilltop equipped with large catapults, large ballistas in the mountainside fortifications, and strong infantry fortifications at the foot of the hill to prevent the enemy from landing.

Such an all-round strong fortification prevents the possible threat from the sea in Lianyungang. When the construction of the fortifications began, many people were opposed, after all, the Shouyang Territory had no rivals at sea at that time, and the construction of such a large cost of fortifications was completely useless.
