As the night deepened, the fire still lit up in the battle conference room of the Gear City barracks.

Looking at the post-war report in front of him, Hua Ye's brows were locked together uncontrollably.

Under normal circumstances, after a fierce siege battle, the number of casualties of the besieging force should be much greater than that of the defending side.

However, the fact was completely different from what Hua Ye expected, in the process of cleaning up the battlefield after the war, he found that the number of corpses of enemy soldiers was much less than he expected!

"Iron."

Hua Ye was holding an enemy soldier's helmet in his hand, and the moment he got his hands, he could clearly feel a metallic texture.

According to the craftsmen in the city, the enemy was wrapped in a layer of iron on top of the armor.

This is not complicated, but it is an effective way to increase the defensive capabilities of these armors.

In this battle, the main reason why the number of casualties on the other side is so small, this is obviously this.

And it is true that Andretov paid great attention to the defensive ability of his soldiers, or the ability to survive on the battlefield.

After all, a soldier can only create value if he is alive.

When you die, you have no value.

It is precisely because of this concept that the army under his command is basically dominated by shield soldiers.

At the same time, although it was already night, the intruder's field camp was still bright.

The engineers accompanying the army are repairing siege equipment damaged during the day overnight, and the medical soldiers are also treating the wounds of wounded soldiers.

In the camp tent, he took off his heavy armor, and at this time, Andretov was eating military rations while frowning slightly at the casualty report in his hand.

The casualties in this first round of siege battles were even higher than he expected.

The firepower of the city defenders on the opposite side is indeed a bit fierce.

This time, I may have picked a hard bone.

However, this first game was just a tentative outpost battle for him.

While touching the details of the other party, it is his purpose to consume the resources of the city defense on the other side.

This is a one-month war.

You have to take a slightly longer-term view, and you have to calculate step by step.

What's more, it's useless to have a killer weapon in his hand.

In the next few days of attacking, Andretov can be said to be unhurried and impatient, and completely showed the level that a veteran driver of the silver rank should have.

In seven days, the results of three rounds of siege battles made Hua Ye's mood more and more solemn.

He had already realized that the other party was deliberately consuming their resources to defend the city.

Hua Ye concluded that those guys outside the city must still have a back hand.

After the resources in their city have been consumed, the other party's killer weapon may be used!

It's just that a conspiracy like this is unavoidable.

But fortunately, his side is not without hole cards.

Besides, he wasn't alone.

The wolf smoke has been released, and after a while, reinforcements from the rear will arrive.

Andreetov fought three invasions in a row, but he still looked calm at this point.

Although his army suffered significant casualties during the week's offensive, the losses were still within his reach.

Since there is going to be an invasion war, it is obvious that this bit of psychological preparation is still necessary.

As long as he can successfully break through the city in front of him, he can win the invasion and plunder the resources and population of the city.

For such a large city, there must be hundreds of thousands of people.

Such a quantity of cheap labor is enough to take the development of his civilization one step further!

Thinking of this, Andretov was reassured.

Calculated the time, then turned his head and said to a guard beside him: "Pass the order, rest for a day tomorrow, and start the day after tomorrow to carry out a continuous siege!" ”

Before the siege began, Andretov saw the wolf smoke rising from the head of the cogwheel wall.

Calculate the time, the reinforcements on the opposite side should already be halfway there.

After consuming a few more waves of resources to defend the city on the opposite side, it was almost time for him to move seriously.

Now turn your perspective to the side of Great Xia City.

Since the invasion of the Ice Bear player, Xia Qi has received a number of Wind Falcon Letters from Gear City.

He had a rough idea of the situation at the front.

An infantry unit composed of a large number of shield soldiers, characterized by a balance between attack and defense, is perfect for fighting a war of attrition.

And this is obviously the main purpose of the Ice Bear Country player.

Use a large number of shield soldiers to carry out a continuous siege, consume the defense resources of his Gear City, and then see the opportunity to break the city in one go.

This kind of method can be regarded as a typical yang conspiracy, and it is impossible for Hua Ye not to see it, so Xia Qi is not particularly worried.

The reinforcements from Silk City and Goblin King City are already rushing to Gear City, and the reinforcements from the two cities together have more than 6,000 troops, plus the advantage of the city wall, it is not so easy for Andretov to take advantage.

Gear City.

After a day's rest, the besieging army under Andreytov directly launched a continuous siege.

One, two, three......

The onslaught of the Ice Bear Country's army for days did not give them a chance to breathe at all.

A large number of corpses had piled up outside Cogger, and after a few days of sun exposure, they had gradually emitted a disgusting stench.

Maintaining such a rhythm of battle, after five consecutive days of siege, Andreytov, who felt that the war of attrition had almost been fought, decisively opened his hole cards.

Looking at the black and oppressive Ice Bear Country army outside the city, Hua Ye on the wall, his face was already difficult to see.

"Do these invaders still have so many troops in their hands?!"

Although he couldn't come up with an accurate figure based on visual inspection alone, after so many days of siege, the opponent's strength was still at the level of seven or eight thousand, which already explained a lot of problems.

At the same time, in the opposite military formation, there were four more chariots filled with metal armor plates.

Just by looking at it, you can clearly feel the amazing defense of the other party.

A large number of Ice Bear soldiers pushed the four chariots towards the gate of Gear City.

Looking at that posture, the other party is probably planning to use that chariot to crash into the city gate!

Hua Ye wanted to stop it, but the person who made the armored combat vehicle was obviously mentally prepared to let these four combat vehicles withstand all the fire from the beginning.

The pieces of armor on top are simply thick and scary.

In the face of the continuous hits of the eight-bull crossbow and the catapult, although the four armored fighting vehicles were beaten beyond recognition, they still stubbornly advanced forward against the overwhelming firepower.

"Qi You, go and guard the city gate!"

Hearing Hua Ye's shout, Qi You, who was dressed in military uniform, had already rushed down the city wall quickly.

The previous ten days of attrition were fought, so that the defending troops of Gear City consumed a lot of resources to defend the city, and now the firepower of this battle is not as fierce as before.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the soldiers of the Ice Bear Country.

After closing the distance to a certain point, they began to push the ironclad to slam into the gates of Gear City!

I heard a loud bang, and the entire city wall began to shake with it.

The opportunity to break the city can be said to be imminent!

However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.

Under the repeated collision of the ironclad vehicles, the closed gate of Gear City began to rise slowly, which made Andretov, who was directing the siege in the rear, frown slightly.

"On the other side, is this planning to take advantage of the limited space in the city gate area to fight with me in a white-handed battle?"

As this thought arose, a sneer crossed Andretov's face.

If this is the case, then it can only be said that the other side is too naïve, and his four ironclad cars are completely capable of rushing into the city in one go!

Trying to trap him in the gate area is a dream!

And just as Andretov was thinking this, a roaring explosion suddenly came from inside the Gear City!

Then, before those soldiers of the Ice Bear Country could react, a powerful impact force directly hit the front of the ironclad car.

The front of the armored car, which was covered with armor plates, was almost destroyed on the spot, and even the entire ironclad car was blown away.

At that time, the soldiers who were pushing the ironclad car in the back had an even more miserable end, but they were knocked out and ended up with broken bones and tendons, which was all good luck.

Many soldiers were killed by the impact and vomited blood.

The amazing scene made the battle at the city gate fall into a deathly silence in an instant!

"Oh, bitch, what the hell!"

Seeing this, Andreetov immediately scolded in Bingxiong Mandarin.

It's just that he is very curious, what is the other side that used to blow up the armor plate of his iron frame car?

Could it be artillery?

For players, artillery is no stranger to such a thing.

It's just a rudimentary artillery, the power is very low, and the accuracy is touching.

So, with the methods of a Silver rank player, even if this thing is not difficult to create, no one wants to use it.

Judging from the movement just made, eighty percent of the artillery was used on the opposite side.

It's just that why is their artillery so powerful?

There was no time for Andretov to think about it, only to see that behind the gate of Gear City, the muzzles of the three cannons were all aimed in the direction of the city gate, and the one on the far left of them, the muzzle of the cannon was still slightly smoking, obviously the blow just now was its masterpiece.

Under normal circumstances, the power of a catapult would certainly not have been able to reach such a level.

It's just that the artillery research and development of Great Xia has now stepped into a new field with half a foot.

Now the cannon developed by Great Xia has an effective range of between 300 and 400 meters, and the power of the cannonball is still being adjusted, plus the cost is there, if you want to completely replace the Eight Bull Crossbow, I am afraid there is still research.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this range problem that they did not set up artillery on the wall as a defense device for the time being.

However, when blocking the city gates, it was surprisingly easy to use.

At that time, the ironclad car that rushed in was only a short distance of thirty or forty meters from the muzzle of the artillery, and the power of the shelling at this distance can be imagined.

At the same time, from the front of the car that was completely destroyed by the bombardment, Hua Ye also found that there were soldiers hidden in the ironclad car!

The soldiers were unusual, all dressed in silver-white full-body armor, armed themselves like iron buckets.

Such a costume instantly reminded Hua Ye of their elite troops in Great Xia, the Imperial City Praetorian Guard.

At this moment, Hua Ye can be said to have reacted all of a sudden.

On the other side, there is a routine!

They hid a group of hoplites in an ironclad cart, and then had ordinary soldiers push the ironclad cart to break through the city gate and rush into the city.

At that time, as soon as the door of the armored car opened, a large number of heavily armed heavy infantry were killed from the vehicle, and in the face of such a wave of unexpected attacks, with the strength of their troops near the city gate, it was estimated that they would really be defeated by the opposite side.

Thinking of this, Hua Ye's face also showed a trace of palpitations.

Then he hurriedly ordered in a loud voice: "Open the gun!" Fire!! Keep shooting for me!! ”
