Chapter 225: Siege
At the time of the third watch, 4,000 elite horsemen and 60 ironclad soldiers in the Central Region had already come to the city of Dingzhou.
The four mysterious people who came from Kyoto have also come to Dingzhou City.
In fact, there is no essential difference between a night attack and a non-night attack, and after the battle of the night before, Dingzhou City has strengthened the garrison of Dingzhou City more vigorously.
The reason why it is still chosen at night is because the night is more suitable for the operation of the ironclad Xuanbing.
The soldiers of the Green Wolf Pass in the Central Region attacked the city, and the soldiers of the Dongyuan Dingzhou City defended the city, and the two sides did not say a word of greeting, and directly started the battle.
War is like this, there are not too many rules, the winner is the king, the loser is the queen, this is the rule.
The 4,000 elite cavalry in the central region began to attack the city, and the 4,000 elite cavalry, this number is not small, because this is not infantry, but cavalry.
The neighing of the war horses and the sound of the horses' hooves shook the sky, and the middle region began to attack the city with the idea of imperativeness.
They no longer climbed the city wall directly with the help of cloud ladders as the night before, but each cavalryman held a bow or an iron crossbow in his hand and shot at the soldiers defending Dingzhou City on the city wall.
The strength of the cavalry was not to attack the city at night, but to charge into battle and shoot on horseback, but why should four thousand elite cavalry be sent, it naturally makes sense.
Tonight, the Central Region has prepared four crashes, and the four crashes hit the city gate in a row, once the city gate is opened, then these four thousand elite riders can drive straight into Dingzhou City.
Once some cavalry entered Dingzhou City, the victory and defeat were divided.
Rao is Dingzhou defenders no matter how well prepared, they can't compete with the four thousand elite cavalry in the central region, and at that time, the Dingzhou defenders will definitely be knocked to pieces.
The rain of arrows roared through the sky, crossed the sky, and shot towards the defenders on the walls of Dingzhou City.
At the same time, the arrow tower on the city wall of Dingzhou also shoots a powerful fire crossbow, the power of the fire crossbow is much greater than the power of the ordinary crossbow arrow, and it is a necessary weapon to defend the city.
However, the number of fire crossbows on the city walls is limited after all, and although they are very lethal, they still need to be assisted by catapults.
Huge stones were thrown down the city by a special catapult, and hurled at the four thousand elite horsemen in the Middle Regions.
There are dead people in the city, and there are dead people under the city.
A rain of arrows passed, and most of the dead and wounded in Dingzhou City had been killed, and the city lord of Dingzhou ordered Zheng to shut down the machine and quickly replenish it.
Four or five hundred of the four thousand elite cavalry in the middle region were also seriously injured, and the power of the fire crossbow defending the city was really extraordinary, and the armor of the hundreds of wounded cavalrymen standing at the front had turned scorched black.
It was because of being hit by a fire crossbow, since there is a war, then someone must die, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were the fastest to die except for the big ones.
Where there is war, there must be sacrifices, and those who are in front fall and those who are behind make up for it.
This time, Zhongyu focused his energy on attacking the city gate, rather than climbing the city wall with the help of a cloud ladder like he did last time.
Four crashing cars slammed into the city gates, and dust fell on the gates.
The soldiers defending the city on the city wall of Dingzhou City desperately lifted the stones and smashed them down, and the speed of the trebuchet was limited after all, although the lethality was very great.
The first crash car in the Midfield had been smashed, and the helmets of the soldiers who pushed the crash were smashed to shreds, their brains bursting, and their bones shattered.
The soldiers defending the city of Dingzhou made enough preparations, and there were a large number of stones and arrows stored on the city, and in the face of the siege of the soldiers of the Central Domain, the soldiers of the Dingzhou defense of the city also resisted the attack of the soldiers of the Central Region as if they were crazy.
The four mysterious figures sent from the Central Region Kyoto finally appeared, and the leader was actually Wu Nanyong, the second leader of Biyun Villa, and the other three were disciples from the Heavenly Apocalypse Immortal Sect, Taixuan Palace, and Le Li Palace, because the disciples of these three sects were still young, so Wu Nanyong was the oldest among the four in terms of seniority.
What the four of them had to do was not to charge into battle, but to help the more than sixty ironclad Xuan soldiers and the four thousand elite cavalry create an opportunity to attack the city.
Wu Nanyong lifted the iron spear in his hand, stepped like a gang, and flew towards the city wall.
It seems that this man has also gained a lot of enlightenment in the light and rain of that night, and the purpose of him and the other four is to destroy the dozen or so arrow towers and catapults on the city wall.
With a bang, the spear in Wu Nanyong's hand was thrown at an arrow tower on the city wall, and the fire crossbow in the arrow tower was destroyed by Wu Nanyong's spear before it could be shot.
Liu Zhenshi, the deputy general of Dingzhou, rushed from the city wall, picked up the long knife in his hand, and cut it down with a bang.
Wu Nanyong held a gun horizontally, and with a loud bang, thunder was born, and it was born at the tip of the spear.
Hearing only a clanging sound, Liu Zhenshi's long knife was buzzed and trembling by the explosive thunder that was born at the tip of the spear.
Liu Zhenshi's arms trembled violently, and this clear tremor even went straight to his intestines.
This is the first master that Liu Zhenshi has encountered since he went into battle to kill the enemy.
The armies of all countries have soldiers like Liu Zhenshi who know how to practice Xuanmen**, but after all, they are a minority, and he doesn't know who the middle-aged man holding a spear in front of him is, but he is sure that this must be a cultivator who is proficient in cultivation.
Liu Zhenshi didn't think much about it, and the long knife in his hand danced like a raging wind, killing forward.
Wu Nanyong snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand threw out a long arc, which smashed on Liu Zhenshi's long knife with a bang, and a thunderbolt came out again, and this thunder was born from the tip of the spear.
This time, Liu Zhenshi was not as lucky as the previous time, the thunder picked out by Wu Nanyong's spear sounded, and the violent shock directly shattered Liu Zhenshi's long knife, and this strong shock went straight to Liu Zhenshi's internal organs.
Burst!
Liu Zhenshi spat out a mouthful of black blood in his mouth, his face suddenly turned pale, he no longer had the strength to fight, the long knife in his hand was broken, and his internal organs were also broken, and the burly body was planted from the city wall with a thud.
Wu Nanyong continued to kill towards the remaining arrow towers, he didn't want to fight, although his means were very strong, but it was impossible to slaughter all the soldiers in the city with his own strength, his realm was far from enough, what he had to do was to destroy the arrow towers and trebuchets on the city wall, and create opportunities for the four thousand elite horsemen and more than sixty ironclad soldiers.
The sixty ironclad Xuanbing have not yet started to act, they are waiting for an opportunity, the ironclad Xuanbing this kind of military is very precious, the battle the night before, has been lost to more than a dozen, in this battle Zhongyu sent four masters to help, and there are four thousand elite cavalry and four loads of collision cars, so these sixty ironclad Xuanbing must be well proportioned, to achieve the minimum loss of troops.
The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the crash was still hitting the gate of Dingzhou City, and there were Dingzhou defenders behind the gate of Dingzhou City, which was not so easy to be broken.
Wu Nanyong, who had already jumped onto the city wall, and the other three powerful disciples from the three major sects were still destroying the arrow tower and the catapult.
From time to time, the soldiers who defend the city rush to resist Wu Nanyong's attacks with their flesh and blood, and in front of Wu Nanyong, dealing with these ordinary soldiers defending the city is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
Whether this Dingzhou City can still be defended or not, it is still impossible to make a conclusion, because there are people in Dingzhou City who have come to help, and those people are also cultivators of the same realm as Wu Nanyong.
