Chapter 334: The Siege

On 11 February, the Steppe Coalition besieged the Friendship City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After two days of fighting, the coalition army still had more than 37,000 troops left, and only the city guard division was holding the inner city of Friendship City. In terms of the comparison of forces, the coalition forces do not occupy an absolute advantage.

In addition, Daichin also deployed 2,000 troops on the two bridges.

Although the steppe army is dominated by cavalry, it does not mean that they will not attack the city.

For this war, the coalition forces have been preparing for a long time.

One of them is to prepare siege equipment. In addition to the simplest siege ladder, the coalition forces also prepared a secret weapon, which was a mysterious object pulled by dozens of carts behind the coalition forces - trebuchets.

The catapult was aided by the Yanhuang League.

Ouyang Shuo was able to obtain the "Cloud Ladder Manufacturing Technology Manual" by suppressing the bandits, and Yan Huang Meng could naturally do it too.

Opportunities, all equal.

The trebuchet was smuggled to the Tianyan tribe half a month ago, and it has been kept strictly secret.

Now, the mystery has finally been revealed.

When more than 30 trebuchets were erected in the north of Friendship City, Zhao Sihu's face turned bitter.

He had already reported the information to the High Command, and the High Command had also sent a detailed work in the past two days to find out what was being covered by the coalition forces.

It's a pity that the coalition forces are too heavily guarded, and anyone who tries to get close to the cart will be ruthlessly killed, and the military intelligence department's meticulous work will not be able to get close at all.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, amid the rumbling of trebuchets, the siege began!

A large number of stones were thrown into the city by trebuchets, destroying everything that could be destroyed, whether it was an arrow tower or a dwelling, it could not escape the impact of the trebuchet.

In particular, the bed crossbow erected on the north city wall was the key target of trebuchets.

The bed crossbow is simply the nemesis of the cavalry, how could Dai Qin let it go.

However, in front of the three-bowed eight-ox monnieri crossbow, the ordinary trebuchet did not have an advantage in range.

The range of the trebuchet is about 400 meters, while the range of the three-bow and eight-ox monnieri crossbow can reach 500 meters. Therefore, the trebuchet was well within the striking range of the bed crossbow.

The Divine Machine Battalion immediately returned the color and poured crossbow arrows into the sky, pouring down on the trebuchet.

Whether it is a trebuchet or a bed crossbow, it is a relatively sophisticated instrument. However, all precision instruments are more precious, and once they are hit, they will be immediately damaged and cannot be used normally.

In this battle between trebuchets and bed crossbows, the Shenji battalion won completely.

More than 30 trebuchets were destroyed in less than an hour.

Correspondingly, less than ten bed crossbows were destroyed.

Shenji Battalion, build another miracle!

The coalition army was on a high platform, and Dai Qin's face turned black. He still remembered that when the Yanhuang League came to the aid of trebuchets, they swore that Shanhai City would never be able to defend against trebuchets.

Who would have thought that at the beginning, his trebuchet tactics would fail.

At the critical moment, the grassland children have to go into battle in person. Dai Qin looked down on Yan and Huang Meng more and more. With a wave of the commanding flag, the mighty army, carrying the siege ladder, rushed towards the Friendship City like a tide.

Guarded by the Divine Machine Battalion, it will be even more difficult for any army to break through Friendship City.

Such a murderous weapon, combined with the crossbowmen on the city wall, is simply a living human head harvester, and the dense grassland army has a large number of casualties before it gets close to the city wall.

Weakly protected steppe soldiers, like rice in a wheat field, were harvested in rows.

Fortunately, the grassland coalition army was really fierce, all of them were not afraid of death, braved the rain of arrows, and resolutely ran towards the city wall. When they finally approached the city walls and erected siege ladders, they were greeted with even greater calamity.

Countless rolling logs and boulders poured down from the city, taking away one life after another.

Siege warfare has always been the most tragic.

In the bloody battlefield, if the heart is not cold enough, it will collapse immediately.

The assault continued until noon, and the city of friendship was still as solid as a rock, and the coalition forces were not even able to climb to the top of the city without a single soldier, posing a threat to the city guard division.

In the final analysis, without the cooperation of trebuchets, the steppe coalition army would still be short of heroic breath in the end.

Right away, they are heroes; Siege the city, and they will be tied.

Taking advantage of the intermission, the City Guard Division was finally able to take a breath. With only one division, it is not as easy as it seems to hold a huge city.

The bed crossbowmen of the Shenji Battalion, these strong men, because of the frequent manipulation of the bed crossbow, not only was their strength exhausted, but their arms were even more swollen and trembling.

Not only the Hercules, but also the soldiers who were responsible for throwing wood and stones were not easy. The enemy is so fierce that they can only keep moving and throwing down the logs......

After repeated battles, the soldiers were exhausted.

Fortunately, at this time, the War Readiness Administration had already organized the women to deliver fragrant rice.

The coalition camp is also burying pots and cooking, but the atmosphere is a little dull.

The high morale of the Shenqi Lake when he swore to the army has fallen to the lowest point after repeated setbacks. Some of the soldiers even felt hopeless, feeling that the coalition forces would not be able to take Friendship City under any circumstances.

The pessimism that pervaded the barracks made Dai Qin's brows tighten.

He has been able to hold on until now entirely because of the reinforcements promised by the Yanhuang League. This group of damn rats is at this time, and they haven't appeared yet, what kind of tricks are they playing.

The coalition forces are already on the verge of collapse, and at the slightest setback, they risk falling apart.

Dai Qin could feel that the eyes of the generals of all ethnic groups were already a little distracted, which was a precursor to retreat. In the final analysis, the only people who have a deep hatred for Shanhai City are the Tianyan tribe.

If it weren't for the temptation of countless wealth in Shanhai City, they would not have responded to the call of Munch Khan's so-called righteousness and led an expedition to Shanhai City.

Three days passed, not a single chicken feather was caught, but the army was lost more than half.

Whoever is left alone, no one is comfortable.

In the afternoon, under the pressure of Daichin's bullets, the coalition forces launched another attack on Friendship City.

At this time, the morale of the coalition army has dropped greatly, and the offensive is no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning.

After adjusting at noon, the city guard division barely recovered, and after paying some casualties, it finally managed to block the offensive of the coalition forces without danger.

On the third day, it ended in a hurry.

At night, the coalition camp tent.

Dai Qin jumped like thunder, and there was no more calmness at the beginning.

In the military meeting that just ended, the seven generals of all ethnic groups, except for Hari Chagai, who remained silent, the other six people unanimously put pressure on him to withdraw their troops tomorrow. Otherwise, they will evacuate alone.

These rat-eyed bastards!

Do you think that the withdrawal of troops will be fine? The exposed minions are not so easy to take back.

After this battle, when Shanhai City recovers, will they still be spared?

Stupid!

For the coalition forces, there is no way back.

Forward, is a thorn all the way; Retreating, it is a cliff.

Unfortunately, no one believed him, and they would rather be an ostrich than fight to the death.

Bastard!

Dai Qin was furious and threw the contents of the tent into a mess.

Rakshin stood quietly to the side, looking inexplicable. This was the first time he had seen Dai Qin so out of control, it turned out that when he couldn't carry out his will, would he be so out of control?

Lakshin found that he was no longer so afraid of Daichin.

Dai Qin turned around, saw Rakshen's demeanor, his heart tightened, and he instantly sobered up.

Impetuous, I'm still too impetuous!

"You go back first!" Dai Qin regained his composure and said lightly.

"Yes!" Rakshin silently withdrew from the camp.

Dai Qin looked at Lakshen's back with an inexplicable expression.

Shortly after Lakshin left, the men in black returned to the Daichin tent.

When Dai Qin saw the man in black, the accumulated anger could no longer be controlled, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist, "rubbed", and put it directly on the neck of the man in black, and said in a cold voice: "What about the reinforcements that you said?" Give me a satisfactory answer, or else, leave your life here! ”

The face of the man in black did not change: "Why should the general be so angry? ”

"Bastard! It's not because of you. Tell you, those generals are already forcing the palace, if you don't show up again, you don't need Shanhai City to attack, they will evacuate on their own. I can't escape, and your wishes will be frustrated. "Dai Qin really wants to be killed by the black-clothed man, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.

"Reinforcements are coming tomorrow!" The man in black was still so unhurried, ignoring the scimitar on his neck, but he really had the momentum of a dead man.

Dai Qin's eyes froze, he put the scimitar back into the sheath, and said in a deep voice: "Is this true? ”

"The general will see tomorrow why I have to lie."

"Okay, I'll trust you one last time." Dai Qin is also helpless, he is now in a dilemma, and his only hope is reinforcements from the Yanhuang Alliance.

Otherwise, he would return to the grassland like this, waiting for his fate.

The man in black smiled coldly, his grasp of people's hearts has reached its peak. The timing of the Yanhuang League's attack was repeatedly deduced by a number of senior staff officers of the military, and it happened to be stuck at the critical point of Daiqin.

On the surface, the man in black was still expressionless, and said lightly: "I will leave here, and I will have to serve you tomorrow and cooperate with us to put on a good show." ”

"Humph!" Dai Qin was reluctant to answer.

The man in black didn't care, and left the tent and disappeared into the night again.

**********

In the night, an army of 20,000 people quietly appeared in the wilderness of Lianzhou. The army marching forward was like a ghost, silently watching the mountain and sea city standing in the wilderness.

Among the army that is moving forward silently, there are not only the two giants of the Yanhuang Alliance, Chunshenjun and Xiongba, but also a special existence, he is Bai Qi's old friend - Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo rode on the war horse, looked at the faintly appeared Shanhai City, and muttered to himself: "Wu Anjun, we are going to meet again!" This time, I won't lose to you again. ”

The night was like ink, and a gust of wind blew, drowning out Zhao Kuo's voice.

Shanhai City, ushering in a real crisis! (To be continued.) )
