Chapter 84: The Fat General of the Stick Country

It seems that this is the capital of the country of sticks.

Chen Mu was not in a hurry to attack the city, he first ordered to build siege equipment, and the country of sticks had no intention of going out of the city to face the battle.

Five days later, Chen Mujun built 100 new ladders, 10 catapults, 5 wells, and 3 punching vehicles.

There were also a hundred incendiary bombs for catapults.

The so-called incendiary bomb is a straw curtain on the stone of the catapult, poured with oil, ignited and then thrown by the catapult.

The Great Xia army lined up outside the city, and the soldiers of the two armies protected the siege equipment and advanced forward step by step.

The well was the first to be in place, and then the Great Xia soldiers above began to fire repeater crossbows to suppress the head of the stick country. The soldiers of the country of sticks could only defend with planks and did not dare to show their heads. But it's okay for the time being.

Then there were catapults, which threw the stones with flames over the city. This time it was the life of the soldiers of the stick country, the wooden planks had no defensive effect at all, and many soldiers were smashed to the ground with the wooden planks and turned into meat pies.

The soldiers next to them were also covered in flames, and the planks were set on fire and had to be discarded.

And the rain of arrows in the sky kept falling, and the soldiers of the stick country who had no planks to protect them were quickly killed by random arrows.

The soldiers of the Stick Country did not have bows and arrows at all, and even if they did, they had no chance to shoot, and the head of the city had been completely suppressed.

At this time, the rush is also in place, and the three rushers stand side by side, with one in the middle attacking the gate, and the other two ready to take over.

The infantry of the Great Xia army also set up ladders and began to ascend the city.

The all-round three-dimensional offensive has been launched, and the soldiers of the stick country can only be beaten.

However, Chen Mu was surprised to find that the soldiers of the Stick Country had actually come out of another city gate.

Yes, Chen Mu did not besiege the city, because he was not at all worried that the soldiers of the Stick Country would go out of the city to meet the battle, nor was he afraid that the soldiers of the Stick Country would escape.

After all, the peninsula is so big, and there are no sea ships in the country of sticks, where can they flee to?

If you can hold out in the city for a little longer, you will lose the defense of the city if you run out, which is more beneficial to the Great Xia army.

But Chen Mu never expected that the soldiers of the Stick Country would rush towards them.

Moreover, this time the country of sticks did not even have chariots, and all the soldiers were on foot. Only a very fat general rode on horse.

The fat general shouted a few words hysterically, and the soldiers rushed towards the Great Xia army frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Chen Mu was not prepared in advance, but he was not afraid, and immediately ordered the first and second songs of the invincible flying army to turn to the battle, and the others continued to attack the city.

Since the soldiers of the Stick Country rushed over, Chen Mu put on a defensive formation and waited for the other party to come.

And the soldiers of the country of sticks were not afraid in the face of the shield phalanx and broadswords, and rushed to the front with their clubs.

The two armies fought together.

The soldiers of the Invincible Flying Army, with a shield in one hand and a single knife in the other, stabbed forward through the gap in the shield.

The half-body armor of the stick country has no defensive effect, and if you are stabbed above the neck, you will be killed directly, if you are stabbed in the arm, you will no longer be able to swing the stick, and if you are stabbed in the leather armor, you will be stopped in place, and then stabbed by other single knives.

The soldiers of the Stick Country died in rows, and when the corpses piled up, the tide of the battle finally changed, as the soldiers of the Stick Country were able to step over the corpses of their compatriots and attack from above.

The stick of the Stick Country finally hit the soldiers of the Great Xia Army.

Chen Mu did not order to retreat, firstly, because he did not want to affect the operations of the siege troops, and secondly, because the retreat did not advance fast after all, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Stick Country would accumulate again sooner or later.

Plus, it's for morale.

Take a step back and you'll be one point weaker.

As a result, the two armies were mixed together.

Once again, the Shiwu system has played a huge role. The Great Xia Army was not divided into individual individuals, but was divided into a team of five people, fighting back to back.

The soldiers of the Stick Country were like they had fallen into a meat grinder, facing the broadswords that were slashing from all directions.

At the same time, the battle at the head of the city continued.

The trebuchets had begun to throw stones into the city, and the well had advanced to the edge of the city. There weren't many soldiers from the Stick Country in the city, and they didn't have a long-range means of attack, so the Great Xia Army didn't have to worry about it at all.

The battle of the soldiers of the Stick Country outside the city was no longer meaningful, but they still did not retreat. Instead, it was the fat general in the rear who retreated to the city with dozens of soldiers.

Chen Mu didn't care about them, and continued to send more soldiers to the city.

Soon, the head of the city was taken, the city gate was also opened, and the Great Xia army advanced forward step by step, and the stick country was defeated and retreated.

After a while, the soldiers of the Stick Country outside the city were completely annihilated.

Chen Mu ordered 2,000 soldiers to guard the gate outside the city, and he led his army into the city.

At this time, the soldiers of the Stick Country suddenly retreated, leaving some of them behind. When the Great Xia army killed all these soldiers of the Stick Country, a vacuum appeared in the city.

Chen Mu was afraid of a trap, so he ordered the army to stop advancing, and then asked the soldiers of the Great Xia Army to search the houses along the streets to make sure there were no ambushes or ignition devices, etc.

In fact, it was Chen Mu who thought too much, there was no trickery at all in the stick country, and the surrounding houses were empty, and there was not even a single person.

Could it be that the Stick Country is about to withdraw from this city?

Chen Mu ordered again, and the whole army advanced in a carpet manner.

When he arrived in the middle of the city, Chen Mu finally understood the thoughts of the stick country.

It turned out that there was a royal palace in the middle of the city, and there were thousands of soldiers at the main entrance of the palace, and the fat general was also there. On either side were civilians armed with various weapons, glaring viciously at the soldiers of the Great Xia Army.

Chen Mu wanted to laugh a little, it was obvious that the Stick Country took the initiative to provoke Great Xia, and now it was as if Great Xia was an aggressor.

If the language is compatible, Chen Mu really wants to reason with that fat general.

But now, only the sword can be used as a language.

At this time, the fat general suddenly shouted a few words, and then the soldiers of the Stick Country and the civilians with weapons went crazy and launched a suicidal attack on the Great Xia army.

Chen Mu didn't want to expand the casualties, but the stick country was bent on death, and Chen Mu had no choice but to order killing.

An hour later, the entire army of the Stick Country was wiped out, and only a few dozen people were left to loyally protect the fat general.

And the casualties of the Great Xia army were very small, estimated at no more than a thousand.

The casualties of the besieging side were smaller than those of the defending side, and they were only one-tenth, which only shows that the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides was too great.

Chen Muce immediately stepped forward and motioned to the people of the stick country to put down their weapons. But the fat general looked very angry, pointed at Chen Mu, and said something.

Chen Mu shook his head and ordered to be killed.
