When Ningyuan launched the Northern Campaign, the Western Theater also fought a great war.

The Temple of the Divine King has an army of 850,000 in the Western Theater, and the main troops are mainly humans, elves, and werewolves.

The Condor Leader had less than 500,000 defenders in the Western Theater, of which 200,000 were stationed in Xiliang City, Iron Blood City, Natural City, and Moonlight City were less than 100,000 people each, and Jinwu City was an empty city.

In the Western Theater, it can be seen at a glance that Xiliang City is much larger than several other cities and is the main city here.

As long as Xiliang City is captured, the Western Theater will basically be captured, so after the enemy has gathered his forces, he directly launched a fierce attack on Xiliang City.

Because of its absolute superiority in terms of troops, the enemy directly adopted a siege strategy, except for the two armies that defended the reinforcements of Iron Blood City and Natural City, all the other armies were gathered under Xiliang City.

Because in the Western War Zone, there was no killer weapon on the side of the Temple of the God King, so they only began to officially attack the city on the third day after the invasion.

The player leader of the Temple of the Divine King in the Western War Zone is called Yin Dong, and he is a player lord who has entered the Imperial Age.

In this invasion, Yin Dong brought 150,000 troops and 100,000 elven troops, and on the side of the Western Theater, he had the largest number of troops, so everyone directly led him.

When Yin Dong attacked the city, he adopted the tactic of encircling three and missing one.

The Western Coalition Army of the Divine King Hall launched an attack on Xiliang City from the west, north, and south at the same time, directly emptying the east.

Yin Dong hoped that the defenders of the city would be able to withdraw there at a critical moment after seeing the vitality in the east, so that his western coalition army could avoid encountering a defending army that fought to the death.

Yin Dong thought very well, but unfortunately, he met a strong opponent - Bai Ze.

Although there are only 200,000 defenders in Xiliang City, because the enemy is also some regular troops here, Bai Ze can be said to be at ease when it comes to defending the city.

In the era of cold weapons, the most headache for those generals was siege warfare, because with the fortified city, as long as there was enough food and grass in the city, then the defenders could easily hold the city for months, or even years.

Among them, the most famous siege battles were the Battle of Chencang during the Three Kingdoms period and the Battle of Xiangfan during the Song and Yuan dynasties.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Chencang, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers under Hao Zhao in the city, but with these more than 1,000 soldiers, Hao Zhao insisted on holding on for more than 20 days, and finally with the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Zhuge Liang had to choose to retreat.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty launched a six-year offensive and defensive war around the city of Xiangyang.

During this period, Xiangyang City changed hands several times, and later due to the loss of Fancheng, the Yuan army adopted the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements to cut off the reinforcements of Xiangyang City, and the city guard of Xiangyang City finally chose to surrender after running out of ammunition and food.

From these two examples, it is not difficult to see how difficult it is to break through a fortified city without any special means.

As the main city of the Western War Zone, Xiliang City has a wall as high as 20 meters, and a large amount of grain and grass materials have been hoarded in the city.

In addition, Ning Yuan cut off the possibility of the enemy digging tunnels to attack the city when he built Xiliang City, so it was a fool's dream for the Western Alliance of the Divine King Hall to break through Xiliang City in a short time.

Although there are 200,000 defenders in the city, Bai Ze can easily defend Xiliang City, but it is only to defend the city, but it is not the result that Bai Ze wants, what he really wants is to completely annihilate the western coalition army of the God King Palace.

Everyone is not mistaken, although there is a big gap in the number of armies on both sides, Bai Ze just wants to annihilate this enemy army.

In order to be able to consume the enemy's vital strength and morale as much as possible, Bai Ze directly hid half of the army when the enemy launched a siege battle.

In order to ensure that the enemy always saw the hope of breaking through the city, Bai Ze divided the remaining 100,000 defenders into three echelons, two of which took turns defending the city, and one echelon was ready to support at any time as a reserve.

More than 30,000 troops defended three walls, with an average of more than 10,000 people on each wall, and under the onslaught of the enemy, the defenders on the city walls were under great pressure, although they killed and wounded a large number of enemy soldiers, but also let the enemy attack the city again and again.

After discovering that the enemy had attacked the city, Bai Ze immediately sent the reserves of the third echelon to reinforce and suppress the enemy again.

In this way, the enemy attacked the city again and again, and the reserves cooperated with the defenders to defeat them again and again.

Every time it seemed to be just a breath away, Xiliang City always gave the high-level leaders of the Western Alliance of the Divine King Hall an illusion that they could be attacked at any time, and then firmly trapped them here.

The five-day siege battle made both sides very tired, because it was the besieging side, so the western coalition army of the Divine King Hall suffered more than 200,000 casualties.

Of course, the defenders of Xiliang City also suffered heavy casualties, and now counting the reserves, there are still more than 80,000 soldiers in the city who can fight.

The casualty ratio of nearly 1 to 10 is a good reflection of the advantage of the defending side.

In the past five days, the army of the Divine King Hall has attacked the city countless times, but every time they go up, they will be immediately defeated by the defenders who suddenly come up with reinforcements, which makes the high-ranking members of the Divine King Hall feel extremely disturbed.

In order to be able to break through Xiliang City as soon as possible, they even used the tactics of exhaustion.

The armies of humans and elves were responsible for besieging the city during the day, while the werewolf army was responsible for besieging the city at night, and they wanted to use this tactic to completely drag down the defenders in the city.

It's a pity that Bai Ze has been prepared for this for a long time, and the first and second echelons work in two shifts directly, and they don't give the enemy any chance at all.

Tired tactics?

It was not easy at all, because the soldiers had earplugs in their ears and eyes when they fell asleep, and after a tiring day, they slept very deeply.

Not to mention that the shouting and killing at the head of the city can't affect them, even if you take a loudspeaker and shout loudly near the barracks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake them up.

Bai Ze knew the real situation in the city, but Yin Dong and the others didn't know.

They always thought that as long as they worked harder, Xiliang City would be breached, so even if the Southern Route Army sent someone to contact them and wanted to take the Iron Blood City with them first, they were all refused, because they were afraid that if they stopped attacking the city, it would give the defenders in the city a chance to breathe.

Regarding the worries of Yin Dong and the others, the player lords of the Southern Route Army expressed their understanding.

After all, the Western Route Army has been attacking for five days in a row, and even attacked the city many times, maybe just like Yin Dong and others said, it is a breath away, so the defenders in the city must not be given any respite.
