Chapter 156: Blockade on all fronts
William, the lord of the Western Kingdom, stood up, frowned and said, "What happened, why are you so anxious." ”
The warrior recounted what had happened before.
William almost fainted, it turned out that when he was fighting with the Germans, Great Xia actually attacked from behind.
"That bunch of rice buckets, why can't he stop the Great Xia people? also let the Great Xia people rush over! ”
Hans, the Germanic commander next to him, said:
"It's useless for you to be angry now, do you want the two of us to join forces, and then kill back and wipe out the Great Xia people."
Coach Germain doesn't know much about the strength of Great Xia, so he still wants to be on the side of the West.
Wilhelm nodded, and he said to Hans, "That's right! I'm not reconciled, I can't let the interests of our empire be taken away by the Great Xia people like this. ”
"Now the two of us combined, there are still a lot of troops, anyway, in the Nordic area, their Vikings have been defeated by us, and they have no backhand power for the time being."
"The two of us merge and continue to fight Great Xia, we should be able to win."
Hans nodded, and then the two of them planned what to do next.
There are a lot of Latin soldiers under the Western Kingdom, and now the Germans have also joined, although the Germanic army may be a little backward in technology and equipment, but they are strong and strong, mainly with a large number of sword and shield soldiers, each of them can fight one or three.
There are also a lot of archers who can provide long-range firepower.
They analysed their current strength and then became more confident. Then the two of them led an army of tens of thousands, and immediately killed back.
Since Chen Mu had already led his main force, he returned to the fortress. Those who remained in those cities were Roman troops.
They were no match for the West and the Germans, and they were beaten to the ground. In desperation, they abandoned the city and fled back to Rome.
But fortunately, they have contained the Western Coalition Army and have completed the task.
On Chen Mu's side, he was leading his army and violently attacking the port.
The Great Xia army first surrounded the port, making it impossible for them to obtain supplies from the outside world. And then bombard with the superiority of artillery.
When the Western Army rushed out, it was to use muskets to face the muskets and cannons of the Great Xia Army, but they did not have an advantage at all, and retreated after leaving a corpse.
They wanted to break through by sea, but because there were too few warships, they could not pose a threat to the Great Xia army at all, but were directly captured by the Great Xia army.
The Western Army tossed twice, and then directly raised the white flag and surrendered.
Then, Chen Mu led his troops to take over the port, cleaned it up, and then replaced it with his own people.
Looking at the map now, the port is bordered by endless mountains to the east, Roman fortresses under the control of the Bactrian army to the west, and the territory of the Roman Republic to the west.
The Westerners have been completely isolated to the north.
Chen Mu planned to repair it and attack a town in the north in a few days, and then he could contact General Li Feng of the Slavic Kingdom by land.
General Li Feng's task has always been to protect the Slavic kingdom, creating a strong line of defense at the junction of the Slavs and Germanic peoples.
Because it was purely defensive, there were so many cannons there that the Germans and Westerners did not dare to attack at all.
Now, Chen Mu didn't plan to let Li Feng send troops, in case the Westerners would take advantage of the loophole and run into Slavic territory to cause chaos.
He just wanted to borrow some supplies.
But before Chen Mu's ass was hot, he heard bad news, and the cities that he had attacked before were now all lost. The Roman army also fled back to Rome.
At this moment, Chen Mu's plan was completely ruined, and he could only establish a defense in place to prevent the Western Alliance from counterattacking.
He concentrated his forces on the Roman fortress and the port, preparing to play defensive counterattacks.
In this way, the consumption of troops can be minimized, and it is a home war, which can give full play to the artillery advantages of Great Xia.
The Western Army is also preparing for a big war. They had conquered a lot of Viking territory, so they plundered the Viking lands.
The West has experienced these days of war, and their main army is much smaller, so they now capture a lot of Vikings to be strong men.
They also didn't give the Vikings particularly good weapons, they just handed out some of the simplest and worst weapons, and then let them be cannon fodder.
A few days later, the Westerners integrated a large number of troops and marched south to start a decisive battle with Chen Mu.
Because they know that the port that has just been beaten down by Chen Mu has an important strategic position. They are ready to gather the absolute main force to take down this port.
This time, the Westerners brought with them six thousand Latins musketeers and five hundred Western-only musketeers.
The Germans sent an army of 15,000 men, including swords, shields, archers, and some with clubs, shovels, and other tools as weapons.
Plus 10,000 Viking cannon fodder, armed with weapons made of wood, men, women and children.
This time, the West Kingdom is determined to retake the port, otherwise it will not be able to threaten Eju in the south.
Chen Mu also got the news here, and asked the soldiers to feast on the war meal, check the weapons and ammunition, and prepare for a big battle.
Soon, the Western coalition was in the open space north of the harbor, and the Latins and Germans were ready to make a great deed and enjoy the reward of their superiors.
Even the Vikings were moved by the atmosphere and appeared restless.
On the port side, the Great Xia army had already loaded its ammunition and adjusted the angle of its cannons, just waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range.
However, the Danube fortress where Chen Mu was located seemed very calm.
Chen Mu stood on top of the city, looking at the port hundreds of miles away, his face was calm, but he was silently holding back a force in his heart, and he could only return by exploring the horse, so he led the soldiers to break the heart of the Western Alliance.
The Western Coalition broke the silence first, and William gave the order, and the soldiers pushed the cannons forward, and when they reached range, they fired cannonballs towards the harbor gates.
Although it was still a solid cannonball, it was enough to hit the city gates.
The Great Xia Army was not idle, and under Zhang Zhong's order, the artillery was fired in turn to suppress the artillery positions of the Western Army.
Originally, the range of the artillery of the Great Xia Army was long, but now it is even more advantageous to fight from the top of the city tower.
As soon as the Great Xia Army opened fire on its side, the Western Army immediately had a lot of artillery dumb fire. Either the artillery was killed, or the artillery was blown off the slope.
William didn't care so much, didn't look at the artillery position, and directly ordered the Viking cannon fodder to rush over and use the lowest ladder to storm the walls of the Great Xia army.
