952 Siege
The City Hall is the core of the Thousand Hills City, an eight-storey building.
It's not the tallest building in the city, but it's also the tallest building in the top 10.
And in order to demonstrate the authority here, at the beginning of the construction of the building, Yang Yinuan required that the building must be built tall and magnificent.
But unfortunately, he is not an architect, and neither is Yang Yuanqing.
So they could only draw a sketch of the building according to their own aesthetics.
Moreover, Yang Yinuan and Yang Yuanqing are all science and engineering men, and their ideas are relatively straightforward.
There are not many requirements for this building except for being tall and grand.
On the contrary, they are particularly concerned about the layout of the interior of the building, as well as the requirements for practicality.
So the foundation of the building was dug three floors, because the city tax treasury was underneath.
Moreover, Qianshan Bank is currently also working on the first and second floors of this building, so the vault of Qianshan Bank is also under the ground of this building.
As for the upper floor, there are the various administrative departments of the city government.
For example, the Taishou office, as well as transportation, education, medical and other management departments.
As for the police station, because of the large number of people, it was independently placed in a building next door.
At present, these two buildings are the objects of siege by the rebels.
In front of the two buildings was a large municipal square, which had now been occupied by the rebels.
Most of the rebels are gathered here, and teams after teams of men and horses are organizing one after another.
Towards the two buildings in front of you, launch a storm.
It's a pity that these two buildings seem simple, but as early as the beginning of the construction, the aesthetics of Yang Yinuan and Yang Yuanqing, a group of straight men in science and engineering, played a key role at this time.
Because their requirements for the shape of the building are simply tall and magnificent.
Therefore, these two buildings have one thing in common, that is, the first floor is directly from the third floor.
It is the main entrance of the building, facing rows of more than 100 steps, which are two stories high.
In front of the building, there will be a large platform for people to rest.
And at this time, the defenders are guarding this platform.
The rebels were constantly attacking the platform in front of the building, and the more than 100 steps in front of the platform were already covered with the corpses of the rebels.
There was a river of blood at the bottom of the steps, and the two sides had already started a number of fierce battles here before.
The rows of sandbags washed down the stairs, as well as the barbed wire fence that was set on fire to keep the horses on fire, all illustrate the tragic situation of the previous battle here.
It turned out that the defenders had also set up defenses below, but these defenses were broken by these rebels.
However, although these rebels broke through the ground defenses, they encountered the fiercest resistance in the way up.
At this moment, three columns of horses rushed out of the rebel ranks.
The cavalry on the horse team were all dressed in iron armor and held huge wooden shields in their hands.
As soon as they came out of the camp, they galloped in the direction of the municipal building, apparently trying to use the speed of the horses to rush to the platform in one fell swoop.
And from the moment they set out, rows of arrows were shot in the direction of the building from the rebel battle array in the square.
And the defenders in the direction of the building are also desperately fighting back against the rebels at this time.
The defenders on the platform, operating the projectile cannon, fired fire oil bombs at the rebels in the square.
The defenders in the building, leaning against the window, began to shoot frantically at the horse team that rushed frantically outside.
Even on the roof of the building, there were quite a few defenders, throwing arrows in the direction of the rebels.
Because next to it is the building of the police station, and in the basement of the police station building, there is also an arsenal.
Therefore, the defenders should have a crazy abundance of arrows, as can be seen from the fact that they are frantically throwing at the enemy.
The rebels in the square were also prepared for their attack, many wearing iron armor and others holding wooden shields.
What's more, they simply hide behind some wooden rushing cars.
Although the rain of arrows coming from the direction of the building is very dense, the lethality is really limited.
Only a few fire oil bombs fired from the platform caused some damage to these rebels.
However, the rebels were not flustered, although they were also dressed in a variety of clothes.
But in terms of combat quality and combat speed literacy, they are obviously much stronger than the rebels who went to attack the industrial zone before.
Many people are very calm at this time, and they look like battle-hardened veterans.
At this moment, the three horse teams charging in front of them were already approaching the steps of the building, and they were about to rush up.
A drum beat sounded in the rebels' formation, and several rushing carts in front of them covered with animal skins began to slowly move forward.
Dozens of rebel men got under the rushing car, and began to slowly approach the building under the cover of the rushing car.
These rushing vehicles, although they cannot hit the door, are still very effective in using them as armored vehicles at this time.
Countless arrows landed on the roof of the rushing car, but they were blocked by the thick layer of wood on the outside of the rushing car.
If the fuel bomb hits the roof of the rushing car, it will also be bounced off by the animal skin on the roof of the rushing car, and it will not be able to cause fatal damage to the hedge car.
At the same time, in the large army behind the rebels, catapults were also erected.
These catapults look like they have only recently been remodeled, and they use special springs produced in Qianshan City.
Several people reached out and pulled the launch rocker arm on the catapult down and stuck it into the card slot.
Then put a round stone bullet in the net pocket.
After the preparation, the wrestler next to him will pick up the mallet in his hand and slam the tenon.
The swing arm quickly flipped forward under the pull of the spring, drove the net pocket behind it, rounded the stone bullet inside, and smashed it towards the building in front......
And the defenders on this side of the building obviously didn't expect this group of rebels to have such a method.
Caught off guard, he was hit by the stone projectiles that were thrown and suffered heavy casualties.
Especially on the platform outside the building, a large area was smashed.
Several stone bullets, because of the excessive force, smashed directly into the brick wall outside the building.
The brick wall was not broken, and then the stone bullets shattered, and the broken stone fragments flew around, sweeping the defenders into a large area.
At this moment, the riders who were galloping their horses had rushed to the downstairs of the building.
The knight who took the lead took the lead, and rushed up the steps after hitting the horse......
And at this moment, the main entrance of the municipal building suddenly opened, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out from inside.
The soldiers, carrying strange barbed logs, came to the steps of the building.
As soon as the rebels in the distance saw these people, they immediately began to desperately fire arrows at them, as if trying to stop them......
