cpa300_4; Seeing that there was no trace of any enemy troops on the street, Wu Chengfeng ordered: "All catapults are attacking towards residential areas, do not scatter the attack, only concentrate on one attack at a time, the archers are ready, once they find the opposing soldiers, kill them directly."

After the order was issued, the catapults, which had already been assembled on the city walls, began to exert their strength. Instead of the traditional large catapults, they were too large to be used on the walls, and they now use small catapults that the warriors call field catapults. The catapult was portable, could be placed anywhere, and although the range was only more than two hundred meters, it was enough for most infantry.

Hundreds of field catapults fired stone projectiles and smashed them into the city's residential areas. The Durant soldiers who were hiding in the house thought they could take it easy for a while, but they didn't want to be attacked violently soon. The rain of stone projectiles falling into residential areas, and how the wooden and thatched roofs, and the walls, which were mostly made of adobe, could withstand the stone projectiles falling from the sky.

In the midst of the howls, many soldiers were crushed and crushed by the collapsed roofs and walls, and the lucky ones fled to the streets. The surviving soldiers didn't know whether they should be lucky or not, and just as they were glad that they had not been killed by stone bullets, clusters of sharp arrows flew towards the vital points of these people as if they had eyes.

When the archers who had been waiting for a long time saw someone fleeing into the street, they immediately drew their bows and fired, and as a result, a dense rain of arrows fell, turning the fleeing soldiers into hedgehogs. Seeing that the blow worked, the Shouyang army began to clean up the residents one by one, each time the catapult attacked, the house collapsed, and then the archers began to clean up the survivors, and finally even the ballista joined in, and the cleaning speed became much faster.

Three residential areas were cleared, and the remaining Durrant soldiers could not bear their strength, and before the catapults could attack them, these men had fled in panic, and the final outcome can be imagined. The defenders were shot in large numbers without fighting back, which was a big deal for the division commander in charge of defending the city, but at this time they were already turtles in the urn, and there was no chance of turning the tables at all.

Under the attack of the Shouyang army at the head of the city, some defenders tried to rush to the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat, but they were directly stabbed to death by the hoplites who blocked the passage to the city. In desperation, the surviving 3,000 Darante soldiers had to surrender under the leadership of the division commander.

The capture of Kun Gong City marked a major setback for the Durrant Army's battle plan, and after the loss of a city, their plans had become precarious, and the Shouyang Army had this rear base, and their supply became much smoother.

The Marquis of Li Boke knew that he could not wait any longer, and if the Shouyang army broke through the four cities, the situation on both sides would be reversed. The Durrant army hurriedly advanced, rushing towards the Shouyang army, and the army pointed straight at the Nida grassland, thirty kilometers north of Kun Gongcheng.

Nida Grassland is not a vast grassland, on the contrary, its scale is not large, but because the terrain is flat and suitable for large troops, the two sides invariably chose this place as the decisive battle. After the scouts reported that the Durant army had entered the steppe, the Shouyang army stopped advancing.

Unlike the habit of the Durrant army's multi-cavalry, the Shouyang army was dominated by infantry, so if it could not form a solid enough formation in the field, the infantry would suffer very much. Zhu Yunmei quickly established an infantry defense line, with hoplites outside, Mo sword soldiers in the center, and archers in a neat phalanx, leaving only two horses in the middle to divide the opponent's soldiers and horses.

The central army arranged this formation similar to the fish scale array, and there was also a large circle with the same force arrangement in the rear of this army, but the difference was that in the center of this circle was a heavily equipped army, and they set up a large number of catapults and ballistas.

The two flanks of the central army were protected by two cavalry units, the difference on the left flank was the Dilong Division led by Mavis and Niss, and on the right flank was the three cavalry wings commanded by Katerina, which were organized together by scattered cavalry of various divisions. These three forces were deployed in a strict line, waiting for the arrival of the other side.

The troops led by the Marquis of Liebke soon spotted the military formation waiting in the distance, and he immediately ordered the army to stop. Not in the habit of sending out a large number of scouts, the Durrant army was not very capable of detecting the enemy, and until this time they were in marching formation.

Seeing the opponent's formation, Zhu Yunmei sighed, if she had a large number of cavalry in her hands, she would definitely hit it hard, this kind of troops in the marching army were the easiest to break up. It's a pity that the Shouyang army doesn't have many cavalry, but the other party happens to have a large number of cavalry troops.

The cavalry formed a very fast formation, and soon the slightly hectic Durrant army formed a formation. The Marquis of Libber had his 3rd Corps of the Earth Dragon Regiment as the backbone, and he also commanded three regular army divisions, while two of the other three regular army divisions were placed on the right flank, and another regular army division and two private army divisions of the Berun family were placed on the left flank.

According to Marquis Liebock's idea, as long as the Earth Dragon Legion launched an attack, they could easily defeat the opponent's mid-lane army. As long as the middle lane is defeated, the opponent's forces will be divided, and he will be sure to win. What's more, he has also mobilized a lot of back-up support from China, and he is absolutely sure to win in terms of force.

The distribution of Marquis Liboke's forces had been decided, and as soon as he gave an order, the army immediately formed a wedge-shaped formation and rushed towards the direction of the Shouyang army. In the face of the cavalry cluster charge of the Durrant army, the Shouyang army made all the necessary preparations, a large number of thistles were scattered on the ground more than two hundred meters wide in front of the formation, and in front of the army, there was a portable steel horse repelling post, the sharp spear head was very sharp, if the Durrant cavalry thought that they could rush directly over, they would pay a heavy price.

The Durrant cavalry gradually picked up speed, whistled, brandished steel swords or spears in their hands, and desperately increased the speed of their horses. Seeing that the other party's cavalry was getting closer and closer, Mavis first commanded the Earth Dragon Division to have a neat long howl, but he didn't expect that this collective long roar of the Earth Dragon made the Durrant army suffer retribution. Although due to the existence of earth dragons in the country, the cloud horses of the Durrant army have been professionally trained, and they will not be paralyzed to the ground when they encounter the long roar of the earth dragon, but a little chaos and stagnation are certain.
