Chapter 575: Engagement
Stormwind City, Xiao Quan's attack has lasted for five days, and during these five days, Xiao Quan has been mobilizing the siege artillery troops in his hands, constantly attacking Stormwind City with flame bombs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After five days of non-stop attacks, the large number of heavy crossbows on the walls of Stormwind City has disappeared.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Quan's face.
"City Lord, now the walls of Stormwind City have been cleaned up!" Lu Ming reported to Xiao Quan with a respectful face.
"Well, very good, Lu Ming, you have a lot of credit this time!" Xiao Quan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your grace!" Lu Ming had a look of surprise on his face, inside the Black Wind Thief, the reward for great merit was very rich.
"With this great merit in hand, plus the credit I have accumulated before, after I go back this time, I will be able to change to a more powerful martial art!" Thinking of this, Lu Ming's heart was extremely excited.
As a martial artist, the most important thing in my heart is those clever martial arts cheats, Lu Ming was just an ordinary commander before, and the martial arts cheats for cultivation were very ordinary, but now it's okay, with Xiao Quan's great skill, Lu Ming can exchange for better martial arts cheats from Xiao Quan's hands.
As for the source of these clever martial arts cheats in Xiao Quan's hands, don't forget that Xiao Quan was born in the royal family of Shahai Kingdom, and there are many martial arts cheats in the royal classics hall of Shahai Kingdom.
Although the Shahai Kingdom has been wiped out by the Chu State, those royal children of the Shahai Kingdom who escaped carry a large number of martial arts cheats with them.
As the children of the royal family, they know very well in their hearts that if they want to rebuild the Shahai Kingdom, they must first have strong force, and the martial arts cheats are the guarantee of strong force, so these royal children of the Shahai Kingdom, when they flee, would rather bring less gold and silver treasures, but also bring more powerful martial arts cheats.
As a child of the royal family of Shahai Kingdom, Xiao Quan has a lot of martial arts cheats in his hands.
"There's no threat of a heavy crossbow, Sha Ding, this time see how you can resist me, hahahaha........" Xiao Quan laughed loudly, and his heart was happy.
"My lord is mighty!" Lu Ming on the side made a direct fart with a very eye-catching look, which made Xiao Quan even more proud in his heart.
"Lu Ming, pass the order, attack now!" Xiao Quan said to Lu Ming, he was a little impatient to go to Stormwind City to exert his might.
Without the threat of the heavy crossbow, Xiao Quan's self-confidence in his heart has increased a lot.
"Yes, City Lord!" Lu Ming received the order and quickly went down to convey the order to attack.
"Woo woo woo ........!" a horn sounded, and with this horn sound, the Black Wind Legion began to slowly assemble, and soon prepared to attack.
"City Lord, it seems that Xiao Quan is going to attack!" Zhao Deqing looked at the formation of the Black Wind Legion under the city wall, and said with great confidence.
"Well, it's time for Xiao Quan to make a move, you know, our heavy crossbows on the city wall have been destroyed by Xiao Quan's siege artillery troops, so it's time for Xiao Quan to take action himself!" Sha Ding said with a smile.
Then, he turned to look at somewhere behind the city wall, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "I don't know if Xiao Quan knew that we had arranged so many heavy crossbows waiting for him, would he be angry directly, hehehe.......!"
Sha Ding laughed very proudly, his mind was full of Xiao Quan's angry look after knowing that he had been deceived.
"Hehe, yes, I really want to see what kind of color Xiao Quan's face will be at that time, hehehe........ Zhao Deqing also said with a smile, with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Woo........ ......."While Sha Ding and Zhao Deqing were talking, the sound of the Black Wind Legion's horn began to change.
Hearing the sound of the horn, the originally assembled forces of the Black Wind Legion began to advance towards Stormwind City.
"Fire!" Directly behind the advancing Black Wind Legion, Xiao Quan's siege artillery unit began to fire artillery again.
"Boom, Boom, Boom!" Flame Bullets flew towards the walls .......of Stormwind.
"........Boom!" The flame bomb directly hit the walls of Stormwind City, and directly ignited a range of thirty meters around it, so that the soldiers behind the walls did not dare to approach at all.
"Attack!" Stormwind's siege artillery forces attacked at the same time.
"Hoohoohoo.......!" Countless stone projectiles flew out of Stormwind City, and then, viciously, smashed towards the Black Wind Legion.
"Bang bang ........!"
More than a dozen soldiers of the Black Wind Legion didn't have time to dodge at all, and were directly crushed to death by the giant stone projectile, and then, under the action of inertia, the giant stone projectile began to catapult forward, rolling straight out of a distance of nearly fifty meters before stopping.
At this time, in the originally dense Black Wind Legion military array, a blood-red gap more than twenty meters wide and fifty or sixty meters long appeared.
A giant stone bullet directly killed nearly thirty or forty Black Wind Thieves.
The number of siege guns launched by Stormwind City now is fully fifty or sixty, and this round of attacks directly caused nearly a thousand casualties. (Not every giant stone projectile can cause thirty or forty casualties)
However, these casualties were not taken into account by Xiao Quan, he still looked at Stormwind City with cold eyes, as for the casualties of his soldiers, he didn't care at all now.
As a general, you can't have a woman's heart!
At this point, Xiao Quan's blue is better than blue.
"Speed up!" Xiao Quan ordered with a calm face.
"Yes, City Lord!" one of the generals beside him quickly went down to give the order.
"Rumble......." A drum sounded, and the soldiers of the Black Wind Legion, who had been jogging before, instantly began to speed up, and quickly ran towards the walls of Stormwind City.
Siege guns and other equipment are indeed powerful, but they all have a disadvantage, that is, the frequency of attacks is not high.
The size of the siege gun is very large, which makes it very cumbersome and difficult to operate, and it is not a simple matter to put a giant stone projectile with a diameter of more than 20 meters on the siege gun, so the loading speed of the siege gun has not been fast.
Calculated with the rate of fire of modern thermal weapons, the rate of fire of siege guns is the rate of fire of one shot every two minutes, which is indeed slow.
"Bang bang bang ......!" a huge ladder of sixty or seventy meters high drove to the top of the city wall.
"Bang ........!" the baffle in front of the ladder fell directly.
"Kill!" a large number of soldiers of the Black Wind Legion rushed out of the ladder and killed directly on the city wall.
"Kill!" the soldiers of the Storm Legion, who had been prepared for a long time, also killed without hesitation.
"Ping Pong ......... Countless weapons collided.
"Ah.......h
In an instant, the walls of the city turned into a bloody killing field.
"Cavalry attack!" Sha Ding said calmly.
"Yes, sir!" the herald waved his flag.
"Cavalry attack!"
Zhao Deqing quickly understood Sha Ding's order, he turned on his horse and shouted to the cavalry troops that had been assembled behind him: "Brothers, kill with me!"
"Kill!"
Countless shouts of slaughter rang out, followed by loud clatters of horses' hooves on the city walls.
The scale of the cities on the Shenzhou Continent is extremely large, the width of the walls of ordinary cities is about thirty or forty meters, and the width of the walls of Stormwind City is fifty or sixty meters, such a width is enough for cavalry to attack.
"The cavalry of the Storm Legion!" Xiao Quan quickly spotted Zhao Deqing's cavalry troops.
"Heavy infantry attack!" Xiao Quan ordered with a calm face.
The threat of cavalry is huge, and now Xiao Quan's cavalry can't get up to the walls of Stormwind City at all, so now he can only rely on heavy infantry to block the cavalry.
Many people think that they can only rely on cavalry to deal with cavalry, and the infantry goes up only to send them to death, but in fact this idea is wrong.
In ancient history, there are many examples of infantry against cavalry.
For example, the Mo Dao Formation in the Tang Dynasty is one of them.
The Tang Dynasty's Modao Array was famous all over the world, and many foreign races were discolored, and the Tang Dynasty laid a large territory based on this, and directly destroyed the powerful Turks, and the remaining Turks had to go to Central Asia and dare not come to the Central Plains again.
Also, in the Song Dynasty, it was the same infantry against the cavalry.
Most of the troops under the famous general Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are infantry, and they are not the cavalry troops of the Jin State that they still killed, and they cannot form an army.
For example, the famous Tiefutu in the Jin Kingdom, that is, the heavy cavalry, was not wiped out by the famous anti-Jin generals Liu Qi and Yue Fei in the end, and most of their troops were infantry.
Therefore, the infantry can still destroy the cavalry, not to mention that now Xiao Quan is sending out heavy infantry.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The heavy infantry was wearing heavy armor, so when they walked, the sound .......was extremely loud.
"Array!" the commander shouted, and all the heavy infantry stood up directly, and then erected the steel spear three or four meters long in his hand, nervously waiting for the arrival of the cavalry.
"Stomp .......!" the sound of horses' hooves got closer and louder.
At this time, Zhao Deqing also saw these heavy infantry on the city wall.
"Hmph, it's a dream to rely on these heavy infantry to stop me!"
Zhao Deqing looked disdainful, the infantry can indeed block the cavalry, but there must be enough number and thickness, so that when the cavalry loses its impact, the cavalry can be killed.
However, the number of heavy infantry that appeared in front of Zhao Deqing's eyes was only more than 1,000 at most, and the thickness of the formation was not even 30 meters, how could such a formation withstand the impact of his more than 3,000 cavalry.
If Xiao Quan knew Zhao Deqing's thoughts now, he would definitely smile bitterly in his heart and said: "I also want to increase the thickness of the heavy infantry formation, but I am attacking the city, and being able to gather thousands of heavy infantry is already powerful!"
