Chapter 231: Take Quinty City
There are still nearly a thousand miles away from Kuntidu.
Kashar was slowly marching forward with his army of 600,000 men.
"Lord Cashar, can we really beat those Skyclouds?
We all lost the previous battles, those Tianyun people are all wearing invulnerable armor, our weapons can't break the defense at all, how can we defeat them? ”
Umda, who had previously fought against the expeditionary force, asked Kashar worriedly, saying that he had seen the strength of the expeditionary force, so he was not very confident about the prospects of victory in this battle.
Kashaal said with a proud face: "Xie Yuer, you were just frightened by those Tianyun people, are you still a noble and courageous Kshatrii military nobleman?"
We've got 600,000 troops!
And what about the other side?
They only have 200,000!
We also have cavalry and elephants three times as many!
How can they win us? ”
"But Lord Cashar, they still have those powerful long needles, once they shoot out, the warriors will fall in pieces, and we have no means to deal with them!"
To this, Kashar laughed confidently: "Foolish Shepar, the needle-like weapon you said is nothing more than a small sword.
It's very easy to block, I don't know how you fought before, just use a bronze shield or a wooden shield soaked in oil to block it, so that the opponent's long needles won't be able to work.
Before coming out this time, I specially applied to the eldest prince for 100,000 soaked oil and wood shields, in addition to 20,000 bronze troops, and they also had harder bronze shields in their hands.
I believe that with these two shields, the tactics of those damn Tianyun people will be useless, and those long needles will no longer be able to cause us huge casualties! ”
After saying that, Kashar waved his hand, and immediately a soldier sent a bronze shield and a wooden shield soaked in oil.
Kashar picked up one of his bronze knives and slashed hard at the oily wood shield and the bronze shield.
Just listen.
Tuk tuk!
Boom!
Both shields completely blocked the attack of the bronze knife, and the wooden shield almost left a mark on it, but the bronze shield was not damaged at all.
"Look! With them, our advantage is even greater, what bullshit Tianyun people, I will let them know that I know how powerful Kashar is, as long as it is not for me to fight with them, if it were me, maybe there will be no Tianyun people anymore! ”
Looking at the arrogant and confident Kashar in front of him, Xie Yuer was very helpless, but he couldn't think of anything to refute his words for a while, thought about it and then said: "But our entire army of 600,000 suddenly arrived at the border, the other party will definitely notice, in case the other party is on guard, then our attack will not be too smooth!" ”
Kashar waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Don't worry, their envoys have just arrived in our royal capital, and they will definitely not attack us without receiving orders from above, at most they are just a little vigilant.
No big deal. ”
"But we've locked up all their envoys?"
"They don't know! In their eyes, their envoys are probably fighting for their interests, and they will not do anything until the news of the envoys comes back.
You're relieved! ”
Kashar's nonchalant attitude made Shepar helpless, so he stopped admonishing.
The 600,000-strong army was still slowly moving towards the front line, without the slightest sense of urgency.
……
And the city of Quanti at the moment.
"Kill, !!"
"The first to ascend will be promoted three levels in a row, and the reward will be one hundred taels of silver!"
"Kill!"
Compared with the sudden attack on the Yol Line, the city of Quanti was more or less informed of the news of the expeditionary force by some of the soldiers of the defense line who had fled back because of the distance.
Therefore, most of the cities of Quanti have been defended, but Quanti City is only a small city in the first place, and various fortifications have not been prepared before, and there is not much to be found in a hurry at this moment.
The only way to mobilize the young people in the city is to take everything that can be used as a weapon to defend the city together, and in addition, the only way to collect more materials for defending the city such as wood and stones.
It's fine for them to be prepared like this in the face of some bandits, but in the face of the expeditionary force of the regular army, it is completely useless.
Because it was an attack prepared in advance, the parts and components of various siege equipment were brought over, but it took a little time to assemble, and soon all kinds of siege equipment of different forms appeared in front of Kundi City.
The nest cart that observes the enemy above the city wall, the crash car that crashes the city gate, the cart and the wooden curtain that protect the soldiers from approaching the city wall, the trebuchet that throws stones from a distance, and even the giant siege vehicle Linchong Lu bus, etc., all kinds of siege equipment are used on the battlefield by the well-prepared expeditionary force!
The whole war lasted less than two hours!
In the first hour, under the cover of various siege equipment, the soldiers of the expeditionary force used catapults and Linchong Lu buses to continuously attack the poisonous defenders on the city wall, and they could not raise their heads to suppress them.
The soldiers who observed the enemy through the nest car informed us of the situation of the city wall through the flag.
Immediately after that, the army that had been prepared for a long time rushed desperately towards the walls of Quanti City with wooden curtains, pushing carts and crashing cars!
The level of construction in Quanti City is relatively poor, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour for the crash to crash the big thick city gate open!
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who rushed in with their carts and wooden curtains rushed into the city of Kundi along the wide open gates.
The whole set of movements is as smooth as flowing clouds, without half a minute of delay.
Before the body poison yamen defending the city could react, he found that the enemy had rushed in.
After the beginning of the hand-to-hand contact battle, the defenders of Quanti City were even less of an opponent of the expeditionary force, and the situation of running alone with a dozen poisonous soldiers was played out everywhere in the city.
It only took an hour for the besieging expeditionary force to completely take the border city.
All the poisonous courtiers in Kundi City were captured alive, and the people of Kundi City still wanted to resist.
Because in the official propaganda of the poison, they have described the expeditionary force and others as demons from hell.
But under the relentless suppression of the army, these revolts were soon completely extinguished.
The entire city of Quanti fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.
It took no more than two hours, which is amazing!
This is an extremely important step, and the biggest difficulty for the expeditionary force after entering Yorssuba will no longer be the opposing garrison, but the stretched supply line.
Taking the bridgehead of Quanti City means that there is one more supply point for the expeditionary force, and the army on the front line can get support and supplies faster.
Therefore, after the news of the capture of Kundi City was transmitted back to the rear, Ding Hongguang immediately ordered the rear to quickly start transporting military supplies to Kundi City, and the expeditionary force should use Kundi City as a bridgehead to attack other cities in the territory of Joel.
And not long after the fall of Kundi City, other surrounding cities also received news one after another, and while stepping up the reinforcement of the city defenses.
Letters asking for help also continued to be sent to the rear of the poison.
And by the time Kashar, who was rushing here, received that the expeditionary force had actually taken the initiative to attack and occupied the city of Quanti.
I was shocked and speechless!
They hadn't arrived yet, so why did the expeditionary force take the initiative to start attacking.
And as a veteran general for many years, he naturally knows the importance of Quanti City.
However, at this time, he had lost the opportunity, and seeing that the other party was about to start a large-scale transportation of troops into Yorssuba, he no longer returned to his previous leisure, urging the team to move forward quickly, but there were still at least seven or eight days before they arrived!
Cashar estimated that when they arrived, I was afraid that the daylilies would be cold!
But he had no other choice.
