Chapter 240: Zhongzhou Strength
One round of projectiles was followed by a second round of projectiles, and even in an instant, the defenders on the city wall couldn't raise their heads.
Suo Zhenbei frowned, and everything in front of him seemed to be a little unexpected.
He had a total of more than 300,000 soldiers, 200,000 of whom were guarded at the two side gates, 70,000 at the main gate, and more than 30,000 logistics and mobile troops.
Now there are only 70,000 people guarding the middle gate, which seems to be a bit stretched, how many people are on the other side? 100,000 visually, and the number is increasing.
At this time, an adjutant general entered the big tent with an injury, "Commander, the pressure on the defenders of the middle gate is too great, and the archers on the other side are so pressed that we can't even lift our heads!"
Please send some troops from the two side gates to help defend the city!
If there is a problem with the side door, these people can leave at any time, after all, the number of Western troops is placed here. ”
Suo Zhenbei is actually also thinking about whether to transfer people over...
"Hold steady, first pay attention to protecting yourself, reduce casualties, and activate the rear army of the city to carry out 30 rounds of projectiles. ”
As an experienced commander, although he couldn't imagine what method the other party might use to suppress the defenders of the city wall, he would definitely have the means to suppress it.
Therefore, he prepared a group of men in advance behind the city walls, and organized a group of archers in a slightly lower place to carry out projectiles, and the number reached 7,000 people.
In front of these people is the city wall, which can be said to be very safe, but the lethality is greatly reduced by the projectile, and the killing range is only 100 meters.
Then I saw countless arrows flying from behind the city wall, falling into the crowd, and instantly falling into one piece.
The defenders on the city wall gave up their bows and arrows and raised their shields directly, ensuring their own safety for the first time.
Wu Cheng and Suo Chen stood on the city wall and spoke in a rare way.
"Your uncle has a hand in warfare. ”
Suo Chen smiled, "I have been in the army since I was a child, except for regularly returning to Suoyun City to pay public rations, I am on the front line of the army at other times."
Whether it is the individual level or the cohesion of the troops, the title of the 1st Division in the North is absolutely deserved. ”
"How many troops does your dad have?
There are already 300,000 troops stationed in the western border, how many people will be defeated in Zhongzhou and the eastern border?"
Suo Chen shook his head, "Father has a very strict control over this matter, and no one knows how many troops are stationed in other places.
Even for the western border, I just learned that there were 300,000 soldiers here.
But judging from the data of the imperial court's annual grain and grass conquest, it must be at least a few million divisions. ”
When Wu Cheng heard about the millions, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, how many people must be this.
However, in World War II, the total number of troops committed by both sides reached 110 million.
However, if the Xuanqi Continent is fully developed, the total number of troops invested will definitely exceed this number.
Watching the soldiers in front of him fall down in batches like cutting leeks, and then stand up and continue to rush forward like crazy.
The vitality and tenacity of these soldiers in the western border greatly exceeded Wu Cheng's cognition, as if they were not afraid of death.
At this time, the battlefield presented a rather strange scene.
The countless people at the middle gate began to attack the city, and even large siege equipment was brought over.
The more than 600 people at the south gate cowered under the city, and did not fight or run.
On the contrary, it is the north where Wu Cheng and the others are located, which is called a quiet.
In the west, Fan Shuai climbed to a high place and looked at the formation in front of him. E-Book Workshop
In addition to the camp tent, the other party is tall and tall, and although he is wearing armor, he still can't stop his strong body, which is full of explosive power.
At the waist is a scimitar longer than a big sword, and even a cow can be split in two with a single sword.
The generals behind him did not have any unnecessary doubts, and watched the siege in front of them, the casualties of the soldiers in the west.
In order to capture Qianguan this time, the western realm has transferred 500,000 troops to Fan Shuai!
These 500,000 troops seem like a lot, but they are still not enough for the towering city walls.
According to the laws of war, the ratio of siege to defense must reach 4:1 in order to successfully capture the city.
This is still an ordinary city, but what is in front of you is not a city, but a pass, and this attack will be more difficult.
And behind the other party is a steady stream of supplies, this siege is fundamentally two concepts.
Therefore, to overcome the dry pass, Fan Shuai did not plan to use tug-of-war or fatigue tactics at all, and directly took some dry passes in one go.
If they can't take it, they will never have a chance to form this cohesion again, unless a stronger monk joins the battle.
This time, Zhongzhou sent a total of 1,000 monks, including 5 Chengling Realm.
The strength and status of the Spiritual Inheritance Realm can already be said to be quite high, and it is difficult for ordinary sects to have the Spiritual Inheritance Realm in charge.
Looking at the entire Suoyun City, there is only one person in the Chengling Realm on the bright side.
This time, Zhongzhou sent 5 Chengling Realm, which can be said to be quite supportive of the Western Emperor's war.
Then again, whoever is uncomfortable knows why the Western Emperor is doing well to provoke the Northern Emperor, you must know that the Northern Emperor is a real monk.
The Western Emperor is an ordinary person, he died a hundred years later, but the Northern Emperor is still alive, and in the long run, the Western Realm will suffer sooner or later.
But the Western Emperor has no choice, who calls him the little brother of Zhongzhou.
Now Zhongzhou still wants to pretend to play the role of the world's policeman, and the invincible Fan De is holding it, so he asked his younger brother to tease the north.
As a result, after several teasings, the northern border finally got annoyed, and directly ordered Suo Zhenbei to wave his army westward.
As soon as the two sides clashed, the Western Emperor knew the bravery of the Northern Army, after all, he lived in such a cold place all the year round, and his physique was superior to that of people in other realms.
Xijing was beaten, and he had to ask the big brother in Zhongzhou for help, and the big brother also pretended to be very generous to lend him the monk, but he also asked him to pay a large amount of money for the operation.
Who is this Nima reasoning with, if you hadn't instigated me to fight, why would I have been talking nonsense with the Northern Emperor!
But this is the sorrow of being a little brother, when the spine is broken, it is difficult to stand up, and he is controlled by others everywhere.
After all, if Zhongzhou doesn't make a move, half of the western border will be gone, and it will be fatal to be looted by others.
Therefore, in this war, the biggest sufferer is the western realm.
A middle-aged man in a green shirt walked up to Fan Shuai angrily, "You actually let us put on leather armor and charge with these?"
Fan Shuai didn't look at him, and added in a hoarse voice, "You have to climb the city wall with your hands." ”
The name of the person in the green shirt is Zhong Liu, and the name has a willow character, which is not a good sign after all, after all, the willow tree is also called the dead man's tree, and the willow tree buries the dead underground.
But some of them are not more serious, for example, don't people with the surname Liu also live well!
At this time, Zhong Liu could be said to be very angry, according to his thoughts, he didn't want the monk to participate in this level of charge, because it was too dangerous.
The Spirit Devouring Realm is okay, but if it is a Spirit Gathering Realm, or below, it is stronger than ordinary people.
In case you are hit by a rolling stone, burned with oil, or because you don't pay attention to a cold arrow, you will die in minutes.
