Chapter 168: The City of Rome Has Been Breached!
The relocation of the Rest Empire to the west in front of the Rest Empire will definitely pay a great price on the way, and if it cannot annex the Western forces, it will be equivalent to sending people to the door.
"I don't think we're going to be messing around right now, but we're going to have to delay as much time as possible." Cindiliah spoke again.
Everyone's eyes looked in his direction.
Rao is Ashoka couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, not knowing what he meant by this.
"Although we don't know what form the West will end, one thing is certain, that is, Yingtian will definitely die, just imagine, after the news spreads, can Qin Shi Huang not be angry? Qin Shi Huang was furious, and he would definitely lead his army to the west to avenge Yingtian, so that we would have an opportunity. β
Cindiliah didn't hide it, but directly told his conjecture.
During this time, I investigated a lot of news, and I also knew that Yingtian was the most favored by Qin Shi Huang, and his status in Qin Shi Huang's heart was very high.
Moreover, Yingtian was entrusted with the important task of going to the west to conquer Rome by Qin Shi Huang, which is enough to prove his value in Great Qin.
"Do you think Qin Shi Huang is a fool? After Yingtian's death, he will be extremely angry, but he will definitely wait for the situation in the east to stabilize before taking revenge, and it is impossible to directly lead the army to the west regardless of it. β
Ashoka didn't think about it, and shook his head directly.
Only those who sit in this position will understand that it is no longer themselves who represent, but also the countless people behind them.
If his son is killed, he will be angry and take revenge, but he will never ignore it.
I believe that Qin Shi Huang will also do the same.
"Then there is only one choice left, lead the seven million army behind you, kill to the west, and make a move to catch cicadas and fishermen to profit!" Cindiliya Road.
Going to the West at least has a chance to turn the tide of the war, and if the class teacher returns to the DPRK, it will really be over.
After the Qin State destroyed the eighteen small countries, he could easily destroy the Peacock Dynasty by turning the head of the gun.
Ashoka didn't speak again, frowning, lost in thought.
The same was true of the people next to him, and their faces became cloudy.
This also has the advantage of being able to catch everyone off guard, and no one would have thought that the Mauryan Dynasty would fight at such a time.
"Isn't it too risky to do this, and if you fail, it's really over?" Don't talk about others, even the resolute Ashoka hesitated at this moment.
I don't know what to do.
"Is it possible to divide the army into two, with some people going back to resist Great Qin and some people."
The bald general hesitated.
But before he could finish speaking, Cindiliye shook his head very decisively, "Although a big war is breaking out in the West, no one can guarantee whether there will be an accident, and if the troops are divided, they may all fail." β
It's a big gamble!
Almost everyone in the Mauryan Dynasty took their lives.
"How long will the soldiers who stay in the imperial city be able to resist Wang Qian?"
Ashoka reached out and touched his nose and asked thoughtfully.
The brain spun fast, thinking about the possibilities of this matter.
"If Qin Shi Huang does not continue to send troops, it is not a problem to hold out for three years, but if everyone fights to the death, he should be able to hold out for five years."
The bald general was in a heavy mood.
No one expected that they would fall into a desperate situation so soon.
In addition, there is a very serious problem.
The population base is the biggest hole card of the Peacock Dynasty, if too many people die, even if they occupy the west, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and it will be difficult to face Great Qin in the future.
Not to mention, this place is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Rome, and a huge amount of grain and grass will be consumed on the way.
Moreover, even if he knew that something had happened to the Peacock Dynasty at that time, it would be impossible to rush back, and it would take at least nearly two years to come and go.
"Let's do it, pass on my orders, the cavalry will take the lead, and it will be guaranteed to reach the west as quickly as possible, and as for the infantry and logistics troops, they will follow."
Ashoka thought for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he waved his hand to signal that he was okay.
The battle intent that faded in his eyes rose again.
This time it was very risky, and everything was staked, and once it failed, there was no day to turn over.
But if you don't, you won't even have a chance to reverse the slightest.
"Yes."
The crowd did not say anything more and began to lead the army forward.
It is worth mentioning that the small forces on the road have been wiped out by the Macedonian state, and in a short time, there is no need to be afraid of news leakage.
Although all forces have planted their eyes, the transmission of news in ancient times was not so fast.
Half a month later, everyone's minds began to tense.
In ancient times, it once again snowed heavily, and the snow was so great that it was only half a moon, and it spread more than half a meter high on the ground, and the whole world became covered in silver.
Some people are keenly aware that this winter, the temperature has plummeted rapidly, which is even more terrifying than last year, and those forces that have not been rewarded may be eliminated.
"Is it snowing again?"
Yingtian stood on the city wall, looking at the snowflakes outside the city, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Time flies, but it is still really fast, and before you know it, a whole year passes in the blink of an eye.
After more than two months of development, the arrow tower has been upgraded to the third level, and compared with before, the attack power and range have been improved again, greatly enhancing the defense capability.
The barracks recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, bringing the total number of soldiers to 35,000.
The free attribute points have accumulated to 3800, and only the last thousand points are missing, and you can upgrade the barracks.
What made him helpless was that during these days, no matter how he tried to tempt him, Philip IV and others seemed to be iron-hearted, and they did not attack the city alive or dead.
"Aren't you going to go to war yet?"
Yingtian looked out of the city and roared dissatisfiedly.
Philip IV and others set up tents one after another outside the city, set up several large iron pots, and wore thick cotton clothes, with the posture of staying up until the end of the world.
"Your Majesty, when will the war start, the war on the fourth prince's side is about to end."
Wang Li lay on the city wall, supported his head with his hands, and said quietly.
There are too few people in the city, and he doesn't have the strength to kill them, otherwise, he will definitely not hesitate to lead the army to attack, so that these people can see how powerful the old Qin people are.
Whenever he thought of Li Xin's pretending to be a prisoner galloping on the battlefield, he felt itchy for a while.
"Your Majesty, the ministers who should be the ministers have all done the ministers, and they are even willing to let their eyeliner enter the city to check, but they still don't believe it." A sense of helplessness also rose on Zhang Jiu's face.
In order for Philip IV to attack, a ladder was placed directly on the city wall and motioned for them to come in.
But Philip IV firmly believed that Yingtian was deliberate, and he would not enter if he was killed.
Alexander Yun sat next to him, looking at the three people in front of him, who were already numb and could no longer be numb.
For more than two months, Yingtian took her around the city, inside and out, dozens of times, and even how many ants and bricks there were in the city were clearly visible to future generations.
I can't understand why Philip IV didn't attack with such a good opportunity.
On the surface, it is indeed possible to be suspicious, but now that you can see it so clearly, what other traps can there be?
Yingtian was a little bored lying on the sofa, feeling the soft and boneless little hands of the Roman princess, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
As time passed, the snow became heavier and larger, almost freezing the world completely, and the corpses under the walls were long invisible, frozen into ice.
Half a month later.
Yingtian was planning to eat hot pot with Wang Li, Zhang Jiu and the soldiers as usual, when a loud horn suddenly sounded in the opponent's military camp.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked up.
I saw that Philip IV was sitting on the chariot with a golden sword, stretching out a finger and pointing at him from afar, with a posture of not breaking Rome and not returning it.
The soldiers behind him wore armor and were ready to attack.
The most striking thing is the 300,000 ordinary people in front of them, these people are wearing no equipment and thick cotton clothes, but the cotton clothes are dripping into the water.
At first, people didn't realize why they were wearing wet clothes in the middle of winter.
But soon, someone reacted.
"In summer, the weather is hot, and the corpse can be easily burned out, but in the winter, the weather is cold, and it is difficult to burn out in the fire, and if the corpse is not burned, it will freeze into ice."
"The purpose of wearing wet clothes is to freeze into ice cubes faster after death."
"Philip IV. I want to use the corpses of these people to build an iceberg and kill them into the city! β
Wang Lao abruptly stood up from his chair and exclaimed.
In the next second, Philip IV's order confirmed his guess.
"Yingtian, today I want to see what secrets are hidden in your city, this king has endured humiliation for so long, and he has hurt me so much."
Philip IV smiled coldly, and then gave the order.
More than 300,000 people, stepping on heavy snow, rushed forward.
Originally, the city wall was fifty meters high, but at the moment, there was a lot of snow backlog below, and only about forty-five meters remained.
Philip IV's methods soon worked, and as one corpse after another died, the cotton garments were quickly frozen and turned into blocks of ice.
A few days later, 300,000 ice picks condensed under the city walls, paving a nearly 40-meter-high avenue to heaven.
Wang Li and Zhang Jiu's faces changed, and they became extremely ugly.
Before this, I really didn't guess that Philip IV would come up with such a solution.
"Kill!"
There was an angry shout of killing among the Macedonian army.
These soldiers all held their breath in their hearts and vowed to kill Yingtian.
One by one, like wild dogs, they rushed to the city wall at the fastest speed, brought the ladder, and climbed up with both hands.
The 50-meter-high city wall ladder is out of reach, but when the city wall becomes more than 10 meters, it is easy to step in.
Fortunately, although Qin Bing has relaxed his vigilance in the past few days, he has been on guard all the time, and he will not be caught off guard.
The crowd reacted quickly and kicked over the ladder.
However, every time a soldier dies, the walls are a little shorter.
In just two days, the city wall was only more than six meters high from the ground.
: Ying Lao Liu is dead, this time he is really dead
: Isn't Ying Lao Liu very arrogant? Isn't it self-sustaining that no one can stand you? I'd like to see how you change your life this time
: Even if Brother Zheng comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to save the ninth prince, alas, it's really dangerous
: Providence, this is really providence, who would have thought that Philip IV would use winter to make such a strange move
The later generations in the live broadcast room have some mixed feelings in their hearts.
This trick was so unexpected.
Everyone believed that many small countries in the West would weaken their combat effectiveness in winter, or even directly lose their combat effectiveness, but Philip IV stubbornly turned disadvantages into advantages.
Coupled with the advantage of numbers, it is easy to break through the defense of Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, there is only one last way left, and that is to run." Alexander Yun said with an anxious face.
By Yingtian's side, she can at least stay alive, once she is caught by the enemy, it will really be over.
Moreover, if Yingtian is really in danger, I am afraid that she will be killed as soon as possible.
Either way, she didn't want Yingtian to be in danger.
There are nearly 5 billion people in the live broadcast room, and all eyes fall on Yingtian, wanting to see what decision Yingtian will make, and when people see Yingtian's face, they are slightly stunned.
From beginning to end, Yingtian was as calm as ever, very light and breezy.
Not only Yingtian, but also the soldiers behind him also looked indifferent.
There was a pang in everyone's hearts, and a bad premonition arose, and they always felt that something was going to happen.
It's really Yingtian's expression, which makes it difficult not to panic.
"Yingtian, why continue to pretend to be a ghost, if I can't kill you today, my name will be written upside down!" Philip IV put his hands behind his back and roared arrogantly.
For more than three months, he has not been idle.
Almost all the backhands that Yingtian can have, have imagined it, and swear that nothing will be missed.
Unless Yingtian puts on his wings and flies away, there is no way out.
And if he can really grow wings, then he will admit that he lost this battle.
"You guy, why do you talk so much, if you want to attack, attack quickly, why waste my time here?" Yingtian raised his eyelids and said with contempt.
Carelessly, he set his eyes on the arrow tower.
γArrow Tower Lv3γ
Firing range: 2300 meters
Rate of Fire: 1 time/5 seconds
Attack: 800
Defense: 800
Hint: Requires 1 soldier recruited from the barracks to reload the bolts
After the arrow tower is upgraded to the third level, the attack power reaches a terrifying 800 points, which is only a hundred worse than the bed crossbow, and almost every shot can take two lives.
In addition, the firing range has increased by two hundred meters.
He retracted his gaze and looked carelessly outside the city, there was Wang Li presiding over the war, so there was no need to worry too much.
Unlike Yingtian's calmness, Wang Li and Zhang Jiu had faces full of nervousness.
To outsiders, there may be some kind of backhand left in the city, but only the two of them know that there is really nothing.
Ten days later, the city wall was completely filled in, and the city wall went outside the city, and there was a gentle slope that was not very large, which could allow people from outside the city to kill directly into the city.
All the Macedonian soldiers were excited, and one by one their blood boiled.
"Kill!"
More than four million troops roared madly into the city.
Qin crossbows, arrow towers, and bed crossbows have terrifying attack power and can cause great casualties.
But with their numerical superiority, they don't care at all.
After paying the price of nearly 200,000 lives, he successfully killed the city wall and poured into the city wall.
At this moment, Philip IV suddenly burst into tears.
I secretly swore in my heart that after I caught Yingtian, I would torture him to death and let out a good breath of evil.
"The blood doesn't drain!"
"No truce!"
Lao Qin's mouth let out a low shout, his eyes were as calm as ever, and he guarded around the city wall, guarding Yingtian from being airtight.
When the Macedonians attacked, they immediately went to destroy the arrow towers and bed crossbows.
This kind of killing weapon has too great an impact on the war.
But it soon became clear that these buildings were extremely hard and could not even break through the defenses, even the heavy weapons they brought with them could not withstand the slightest.
"The defense power of the arrow tower and the bed crossbow is as high as eight or nine hundred points, which is only a little worse than my physical body, I think it's a joke?" Yingtian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
He was also afraid that after these people broke through the city walls, they would damage their buildings, so he had tried before, but found that they were surprisingly hard, and ordinary weapons could not break through the defenses at all.
"Retreat, no need to continue to guard the city walls, retreat to the palace."
Yingtian waved his hand and retreated with Wang Li and the others.
The walls are useless, and there is no point in guarding here.
The soldiers inside the arrow tower are protected by the arrow tower, so there is no need to worry.
Immediately, more than 30,000 soldiers quickly gathered in the direction of the dormitory.
When on the city wall, more than 30,000 people lined up, which seemed to be a little scarce, but when all gathered outside the dormitory, they completely formed a military formation, which looked murderous.
"Kill it!"
Philip IV roared in high spirits, as if watching victory beckon to him.
As the order was given, millions of soldiers became more and more frenzied.
went forward one after another, vowing to kill Yingtian and others.
Soon, some netizens discovered the bug of the arrow tower.
: By the way, have you noticed the arrow towers and bed crossbows on the city wall, which seem to have been attacking for more than a month?
: Philip IV was a fool, so why didn't he destroy these two buildings?
: Although they have invaded the city, the arrow tower and the bed crossbow, they can cause nearly 10,000 casualties every hour, or 120,000 a day, and this kind of damage should not be underestimated
: In the past, these people could avoid the range of bed crossbow trampling outside the city, but now the highway city is within the range of building towers all the time, and the cost of 100,000 people a day is 1 million people in ten days, how dare they?
As everyone knows, Philip IV at this moment is also a little confused.
"What do you say, the arrow tower and the bed crossbow cannot be damaged, how is this possible?"
A courtier stood beside the chariot and said helplessly,
"Your Excellency, what the minister said is true, our weapons can't hurt it at all, and we can't leave traces on it at all."
Philip IV frowned and turned his head to look at the walls.
After a slight hesitation, he still did not attack in person.
"Let everyone prepare their shields to defend against the attack of the arrow tower, and then make sure to ensure that Yingtian and the others are killed in a short time." He commanded.
However.
More than a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the battle formation formed by the Qin soldiers was still not broken.
As time passed, Philip IV and later generations were at a loss.
"It's been two months since the West broke through Rome, and nearly two million people have died, while the Qin soldiers have only killed and injured more than 20,000 people, oh my God, this ratio is too terrifying, right?"
Wang Lao's eyes widened, looking at the live broadcast room, his face full of disbelief.
It wasn't just him, everyone was dumbfounded.
All this seems to be a little different from what I imagined.
In everyone's cognition, they all thought that after the Macedonian Empire broke through the city wall, it would beat the water dogs and easily kill the Qin soldiers, and Yingtian had no power to fight back.
It is believed that the barrier of Yingtian is the city wall.
Only then did he react and ignore a cruel fact, that is, the combat effectiveness of the old Qin people.
After leaving the city wall, the combat effectiveness has not weakened, and there is not even the shackles of the city wall, making the combat power stronger.
"Hey, you're too wasteful, haven't you, my son has given you the city wall, and you can't attack it?"
Yingtian sat in the dormitory, hugged the Roman princess, and said lightly.
The nearest soldier was only a few hundred meters away, and he was looking at Yingtian angrily at the moment, his heart was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do but anger.
A few hundred meters seems to be very close, but it is like a ravine, blocking the distance between it and Yingtian.
It's too hard to cross the past.
Wang Li squinted his eyes slightly, silently calculating the losses of the two sides in this battle in his heart, and finally let out a long sigh after finding that he could still hold on.
In the distance, Philip IV hesitated, not knowing whether to continue the attack.
Every half hour, seven thousand people died, a huge number that shocked him.
"You can't retreat, you can't retreat, even if you die, you have to kill Yingtian, you must not let him live" The Odria State traveler stood up and said viciously.
Not only him, but everyone present was angry.
So many people died at the hands of Yingtian, if Yingtian can't be killed, it will really be wasted.
As long as you can kill Yingtian, it can be regarded as a wish.
Besides, what can you do if you escape, this battle has already broken your muscles and bones, and when Yingtian recovers, it will be easy to destroy them, and it will be difficult to escape death in the end, so it is better to fight than to wait for death.
"Then let's fight hard."
Philip IV looked at the remaining 1.7 million soldiers around him, his face was cloudy, and after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth vigorously.
Call!
He took a deep breath, raised the battle flag, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, fight hard, or we'll all die here!"
After the soldiers smiled bitterly, they roared angrily, and went forward to kill Yingtian one after another, they were not fools, and they knew that the matter had come to this point, and only by killing Yingtian would there be a turnaround.
"Humph!"
Wang Li snorted coldly, holding the battle flag in both hands, and quickly changed the formation.
Five thousand shieldmen stood at the outermost, black-armored soldiers stabbed inside, archers harvested in the middle, and medics passed through the crowd to save the wounded.
The team of more than 20,000 people is well organized and not chaotic at all.
Bang!
Every minute and every second, someone falls.
With each minute of time, Philip IV's face became ugly.
In this way, after fighting every few days and holding on for half a month, he completely collapsed.
Now, the Macedonian alliance has only a million troops left, and Yingtian and others are different, 35,000 people, and there are 20,000 people left!
