Chapter 110: Siege Engine

When the demon clan came to Nanjun City, they had already made all kinds of preparations. To attack such a large main city, the only way to attack it was to use siege equipment. The siege vehicle is the world, specially used to fight against the city, and now it is used to destroy the gates of the southern county city.

The siege vehicle used by the demon clan is the same as that used by the ghost king to attack the Netherworld. The wide body is a tall wooden frame. A thick log hangs from the wooden frame. On either side of the car were bunkers for soldiers to hide.

Siege engines were propelled by manpower. Each car has hundreds of demon soldiers to operate. They hid in bunkers next to the siege engines and pushed them hard. With them on board, it was only a matter of time before the gates were broken. General Wei immediately ordered a retreat and let his men and horses withdraw from the attack.

Three siege engines lined up and marched towards the city gate together. At this time, the opponents in the city also stopped attacking. It seems that both sides are waiting for the moment when the city gates are broken.

The siege engine slowly came to the city gate. The operators are starting to get busy. The winch pulls the rope and rattles. The two thick logs were driven by ropes and slowly retreated backwards. There was only a click, and the keyhole on the log was pulled by the frame. Just wait for the operator to press the mechanism, and the log will crash into the gate with unparalleled momentum.

At the sound of an order, the three soldiers moved the mechanism separately. Huge logs rushed towards the city gates.

Three logs rumbled against the gate at the same time. The hard, thick gates made an obscure sound, as if they were about to collapse. Dust fell overhead, and anyone standing on the walls could feel the tremors under their feet.

But those who were on the tower did not react. They seem to have abandoned the gates that protected the vital ones. The siege carter's operators continue to build siege vehicles, preparing to launch a second charge.

General Wei watched the battle from a distance. Listen to reports of casualties from your subordinates. The 30,000 vanguard troops he led suffered more than 2,000 casualties in the first round of attacks.

Listening to the report, General Wei's heart ached. These are the brothers with whom he was born and died. General Wei loved his soldiers like a son, and he was saddened by the dead and wounded soldiers. General Wei ordered: "After the city gate is breached, quickly kill the defenders of the city. Not a single one can be spared. ”

The second shock is ready. The operator has already pulled the guard. At the slightest command, they pull the mechanism.

At this moment, everyone was staring with bated breath in the direction of the siege vehicle. Waiting for the moment when the log hits the city gate.

Finally, the second impact began, and the log hit the gate again. A crack appeared in the heavy gate. The walls around the gates were rubble, and sand fell.

The power of the siege vehicle is really not small, just two attacks, the city gate is overwhelmed. Next, for the third time, for the fourth time. Under the continuous bombardment of siege vehicles, the east gate of Nanjun City collapsed.

As soon as the city gate fell, the demon army cheered loudly. The breaching of the city gate means that the southern county city is no longer defended. It's just that the siege vehicles are blocking the city gate, and General Wei's men and horses can't enter the city.

The operators were about to exit the city gate to make way for the vanguard troops, when Mengran, the general in charge of commanding the siege vehicles, found that there was only one more city gate at the city gate.

The design of the South County Town is unique. The city gates protrude from the city walls in many ways. Behind the city gate is a road. After the corridor, there is another city gate.

Now, the commander has made a mistake. He didn't expect Nanjun Town to be designed like this. If you want to enter the city, you have to break through the two gates.

The commander did not dare to take matters into his own hands. He hurriedly ran to report the situation to General Wei. General Wei has not seen such a situation either. He could only order the siege engines to continue attacking the second gate.

General Wei sent soldiers to help them clear the bombed city gates. There were piles of wreckage of the city gates, which could not be passed by siege vehicles. It took a lot of time to wait until the city gates were all emptied.

During this time, the defenders of the city just watched the demon people busy at the city gate. Even General Wei wondered what the defenders were going to do!

The city gate has been cleared, and the operators push the siege vehicle towards the second city gate. Between the first gate and the second gate is a 100-meter corridor, and three siege vehicles slowly enter the corridor.

Three siege engines walked side by side in the corridor, looking very cramped. The Commander kept looking upwards, for it was like a shaft, with walls twenty meters high on either side. Once attacked, there is no way to avoid it.

The commander's fears were justified, because the situation was too dangerous. The Commander was looking up and saw movement above him. The commander was shocked.

Before the commander could react, his head suddenly darkened. On the top of their heads, a large amount of yellow sand was poured down from the sky.

It turned out that on the city tower, piles of sand had already been prepared, waiting for the siege vehicles to enter the city gate.

The boundless yellow sand is like a waterfall, and the fine sand pours down like water. The operators who were hiding under the siege vehicles didn't even have a chance to dodge, so they were buried under the yellow sand.

The yellow sand accumulated higher and higher, and finally completely submerged the three siege engines. The operator of the siege engine, along with the commander, died under the sand.

Now, it was the turn of the people of the city to cheer. Smiling faces protrude from the battlements. They shouted, "Can't run!" ”

General Wei, who was outside the city, saw that the siege vehicle was buried in yellow sand, and immediately understood that he had been deceived. This is due to being deceived by the illusion of the other person.

When the siege engine attacked a gate, the opponent did not attack. As a result, General Wei was lucky. He thought that the other party was helpless, so he relaxed his vigilance.

At this point, it's too late to regret it. The fall of the siege engine sounded the alarm for General Wei. It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time. It became extremely difficult to attack the southern county town.

As a vanguard force, if it is blocked here, not only will it be disgraced, but it will also be dealt with by military law. General Wei could only bite the ground running.

General Wei ordered the mobilization of the ladder to come over. He was going to force his way up the walls. Ladders are the most common means of siege. It is also the way to get the most casualties. But at this time, General Wei had no choice but to do so.

The demon army has prepared a variety of siege equipment. Ladders are indispensable. In a short time, hundreds of ladders were transported to the front.

General Wei ordered all the demon soldiers to attack the city together. 30,000 men scattered along the walls to form hundreds of phalanxes. They all gathered next to the ladder and marched towards the wall together.

This time, the demon people already had a rough idea of the range and power of the defenders' weapons. They found a lot of shields and armor to stand in front of them. More than a hundred phalanxes moved forward at the same time, and it could be seen that the demon army was well-trained.

There was another soft sound on the walls. One after another strange spells hit the shield armor, and many spells pierced the armor and injured the demon soldiers hiding behind.

However, such a level of casualties was nothing at all, and General Wei was pleased to see that the movement speed of the phalanx had not slowed down. As long as your team reaches the city, it is half the battle.
