Chapter 89: The Battle of Mosaics

A few days later, Chen Mu came to the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Mosaic.

Along the way, Chen Mujun's casualties were not many, there were 4,500 invincible flying troops, 2,500 Wudang flying troops, and the reserve army did not directly participate in the battle, but still 2,000 people.

An army of 9,000 encamped outside the mosaic city, assembled the catapults and the wells, and began to siege the city.

The Rakshasa army in the city should have received the battle report from the front, knowing that it was no good to go out of the city to meet the battle, so they defended the city to the death.

Moreover, the Rakshasa Army also did a lot of defensive work.

They poured water outside the city wall, and now there is a piece of ice within three miles outside the city, which has brought certain difficulties to the Great Xia army, and they need to advance while digging ice.

The city gate is the same, it is all frozen, and it will be very difficult to break through the city gate, but it is impossible for the Rakshasa army to get out of the city.

In this battle, the catapult used by the Great Xia army first threw out ice cubes, and after landing, breaking the ice would cause splash damage.

It's easy to take and easy to use, while fire charges are very ineffective in this weather and can be easily extinguished. Because the last thing that is lacking here is ice and snow.

The Rakshasa Army did not have such a long-range attack weapon, so they could only temporarily retreat from the wall.

At this time, the Great Xia Army's wells and ladders also went up. Since the head of the city was suppressed by catapults, the Great Xia army easily set up a ladder, and Jing Qi also sent crossbow arrows towards the back of the city wall.

The rolling wood and stones prepared by the Rakshasa army were not used at all, and the Great Xia army had already climbed to the top of the city.

Then the catapult and Jing Yan pressed behind the city wall, and the Rakshasa army also took the opportunity to climb the wall again, wanting to drive the Great Xia army down.

The Rakshasa army in the capital is much better equipped with weapons, wearing a light cuirass with a layer of ice on it, which is very effective against arrows and single knives.

He holds a standard axe in his hand, and he is very skilled in using it.

In addition, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Army are tall and large, and the battle scene is very stalemate for a while.

The world's elite, the invincible flying army and the Wudang flying army, finally met their opponents.

As soon as Chen Mu saw this situation, he immediately ordered a second plan.

When the Great Xia army outside the city heard the order, they immediately climbed to the top of the city, and then let the Great Xia army in front of them crouch down and shoot at the Rakshasa army with a repeater.

No matter how good the cuirass of the Rakshasa army is, it can only defend the torso, and the crossbow arrows issued by the repeater are like cold winds, penetrating everywhere.

The Rakshasas were immediately driven off the wall.

This time, the Rakshasa army did not come up again, and the Great Xia army did not move, so they stood here with a crossbow.

At the same time, some soldiers of the Great Xia Army came to the city gate, piled up hay and firewood, and then lit a flame.

This is Chen Mu's plan.

For even if there is the suppression of catapults and wells, it is not as fast as entering the city through the gate by ladders.

As long as the Great Xia army occupies the city, it can continue to suppress the city, and then after the Great Xia army enters through the city gate, it can spread out the formation and not fall into a situation of less to more.

The Rakshasa army had been completely driven back to the city, so they didn't know what was happening at the city gate, and even if they did, they couldn't stop it.

At this time, there was an eerie calm on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Great Xia army were holding crossbows at the head of the city, and if the Rakshasa army did not come up, they would not go down.

The catapults and wells outside the city also stopped suppressing, as the Rakshasa army had withdrawn from the attack.

The Rakshasa Army didn't know what the Great Xia Army was doing, and they didn't act rashly.

Only the flames outside the city gates were blazing.

I don't know how long it took for the ice and snow on the gate to finally melt, and the ice that had accumulated behind the gate began to collapse.

The Rakshasas realized something, but it was over.

Chen Mu ordered the catapult and the well to be activated again to suppress the city.

Some soldiers of the Rakshasa Army rushed through the blockade line at the risk of death, and they were also ruthlessly harvested by the crossbows.

At the same time, the Great Xia army at the head of the city had already stepped down the city wall and removed the ice blocking the city gate.

A quarter of an hour later, the gates of Mosaic City were opened.

Chen Mu led the Great Xia army into the city gate.

Chen Mu gave the order again, let the catapult and the well stop it, and then let the soldiers in the city rush forward.

At this time, the Rakshasa army also reacted, and thousands of archers climbed to the roof and launched a counterattack on the Great Xia army.

The Great Xia army fired at each other with the Rakshasa army, but the Rakshasa army had a lot of cover, and the Great Xia army suffered a lot on the main road.

Chen Mu saw that the casualties were too great, and decisively led people out of the city.

Seeing this, the Rakshasa army let out bursts of cheers, as if they had won victory.

As everyone knows, Chen Mu still has a powerful weapon that he hasn't taken out.

Just as they were cheering, they suddenly noticed a large fireball falling from the sky, whistling and falling on the houses next to them, and even smashing directly on their heads.

The houses in the city were immediately reduced to a sea of fire.

The Rakshasas screamed and retreated.

Chen Mu led his troops into the city again, and then began to throw torches, further increasing the fire.

It seems that the Rakshasa Kingdom evacuated the civilians in advance, and no one in the house escaped.

Chen Mu looked at this scene and nodded slowly, it seems that the king of the Rakshasa country still loves his people very much, so they have to talk.

Chen Mu called Urila over and asked him to shout to the Rakshasas on the other side of the fire.

Let the Rakshasa Kingdom surrender immediately, or burn the entire mosaic.

Urila shouted several times before a voice came from the other side, expressing his willingness to surrender and start negotiations.

Chen Mu also accepted it when he saw it, and did not ask the Rakshasa Kingdom to surrender unconditionally, because if the Mosaic City was really burned, the remaining Rakshasa people would also escape from the city.

Chen Mu wanted to hunt them down, but the price was very large, and Chen Mu couldn't afford it, and there was no benefit.

Under Chen Mu's instructions, Urila shouted and replied.

Then the soldiers cleared an open space in the sea of fire, and it was here that the two sides began peace talks.

Chen Mu took a hundred guards to the negotiation site, and behind him, there were countless soldiers holding crossbows on guard, once something was wrong, Chen Mu immediately retreated, and then they fired ten thousand arrows.

King Rakshasa also came with the most elite personal soldiers, all of whom looked at Chen Mu and the others with hateful eyes.

Chen Mu said: "We have no intention of exterminating the Rakshasa Kingdom in Great Xia, we have no hatred before, we only hope that the Rakshasa Kingdom will become a subject country of Great Xia." ”

The Rakshasa King was puzzled, "You are powerful, but what do you really want, and what do you mean by the subject country?" ”

Chen Mu explained in detail.

The so-called vassal state still has national sovereignty, and its internal affairs are not interfered with by Great Xia, and it only needs to pay tribute every year, and be called a vassal every year.

In addition, if a neighboring country attacks the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom can ask for help from Great Xia, and Great Xia will do its best to help.
