Chapter 0339: The Yuan Army Retreats
"Put down the Broken Dragon Stone!"
Once the Broken Dragon Stone is put down, it will jam the grooves on the ground, and if you want to start it again, you don't want to lift it for most of the day, and you need to know the mechanism, otherwise you won't be able to lift the Broken Dragon Stone even if you try your best.
"Bang ......!!"
With a loud bang, the broken dragon stone fell violently, and the vicinity of the earthquake was slightly shaken, and the rubble was splashed.
"What is this?"
Far away, but the slight vibration still attracted Zhao Min's attention, Zhao Min surrendered his gaze to the city gate blocked by the drawbridge, Liu frowned lightly, slightly puzzled.
Ah Dafang Dongbai heard the words on the side, and said respectfully: "Master, this is the Broken Dragon Stone of Xihe City, I saw it when I saved the two elders of Xuanming, if I hadn't stopped it in time, I am afraid that they would have been trapped in Xihe City!" ”
Zhao Min nodded slightly, and said to himself as if he had an understanding: "The iron-cast suspension bridge is a broken dragon stone, this Xihe City is really a copper wall, but even if it is a copper wall, in front of absolute liliang, everything is in vain, I want to see if this copper wall is so strong when I come to the army!" ”
Time passed little by little, more and more grassland warriors climbed the city wall, and one-third of the entire Xicheng was occupied by them, blood flowed all over the city wall, stumps and broken arms, and corpses were everywhere.
The steppe warriors were aggressive, not giving an inch, the body in front died, the back followed, some did not think about it, slid down from the rope left by the heavy infantry, and entered the outer city that was blocked on all sides and had no way out, and wanted to open the city gate and put in the army, but they were greeted by a really heavy, like a broken dragon stone completely embedded in it.
"Don't kill now, wait when!"
Zhang Yuan looked up at the crowded city wall, roared, one person took the lead, the tiger roared and the wind gun was picked up in his hand, and he forcibly picked up one person and directly picked down the city wall.
"Fight, Fight to the Death......!!!"
As soon as Zhang Yuan's words fell, the heavy infantry who were originally in a row of three people let out a roar, and a person came up from behind, four people formed together, resisted the shield, and slammed forward without waving the knife, and behind them, the heavy infantry also bent down against the shield, layer by layer, squeezing the grassland warriors who occupied the middle part of the West City with unstoppable force.
"Kill, don't let them come, block, block ......!!!"
Seeing that the range of activity was getting smaller and smaller, the steppe warriors came to their senses at this time, crowded with each other, and wanted the people in front to rush out, but the chaos was crowded together, and it was so easy to rush there.
The steppe warriors who came into contact with the heavy infantry, one by one, brandished their scimitars and slashed wildly, in exchange for the sound of metal intertwining, and a low muffled sound, the shield still did not hurry to squeeze them, under the shield, there was a long knife that was not pierced, and the spear composed of two short spears also viciously tore their leather armor from a tricky angle and pierced into their bodies.
"One...... Two...... Three, top! ”
"Drink ......!!"
With a loud shout, the steppe warriors who were holding against the shield were pushed up by the shield, and their bodies struggled in the air, and several spears stabbed out, piercing into their bodies at once, and taking them directly beyond the walls on both sides.
"Rush, rush, rush......!!"
The footsteps of the heavy infantry did not stop because of this, and the more they went behind, the more and more crowded they became, and those steppe warriors were so crowded that they didn't even have room to wave their arms, but the heavy infantry was still in order, whether it was a scimitar, or a hammer, a mace, or something else, they all greeted them with shields.
Inside the outer city, there was also chaos, with heavy infantry and crossbowmen coming out from all corners and fighting with the steppe warriors who went down to the outer city, and the crossbowmen behind the heavy infantry aimed at each other, which was an arrow.
The steppe warriors who were caught off guard didn't have time to react, so they were killed a large number of people, and when they reacted, the resistance was to no avail, and soon, they were slaughtered, the crossbowmen did not stop, and the winding aimed at the steppe warriors on the city wall, and the powerful arrows were directly transmitted into the crowded crowd, and the screams immediately sounded, and a fresh life fell from the city wall.
Zhao Min saw that the situation was not right, and knew that Zhang Yuan had begun to counterattack, her calculation had been reached, so naturally she couldn't wait to suffer, so she said casually: "Okay, it's almost time to fight now, rest today, fight again tomorrow, Mingjin will withdraw his troops!" ”
The sound of Jin Ming sounded, which immediately broke the resistance of all the steppe warriors, and also aroused the morale of the heavy infantry, under the attack of the heavy infantry, the steppe warriors were defeated one after another, most of the people failed to leave the city wall, and only a few of the middle luckily escaped. Many were cornered and tried to climb the battlements to escape to the ladder, except for a few who were lucky, and many more were squeezed down and fell off the walls.
After a fierce battle until the afternoon, the vanguard army of the Yuan Dynasty, composed of grassland tribes, left nearly 10,000 corpses and completely withdrew from Xihe City.
When they left, cheers rang out over the city walls, in a place full of blood and wreckage.
Did Zhao Min lose? No, her goal has been achieved, so this is also a victory for her, this time she not only successfully subdued the 100,000 army, but also figured out the cards in Zhang Yuan's hand, so to speak, she is also a victory, although the price paid is relatively large, but does she care? Not care!
Did Zhang Yuan win? Won, because before the arrival of the Yuan Dynasty's army, he completely gave his recruits a bloody training, and at the same time, he exchanged the enemy's losses of nearly 10,000 with less than 200 dead, less than 50 seriously wounded, and less than 500 minor injuries, which can be said to be a big victory.
Each side takes what it needs, and who wins and who loses, each knows in his heart.
After coming down from the battlefield, Zhao Min didn't smile at all, because the casualties were too heavy, she didn't care about the losses of these people, and it didn't matter if they were all dead, anyway, they didn't clean up here, and they had to be cleaned up after the big battle with the Han Dynasty, what she really cared about was that the defense of Xihe City was too strong.
Moreover, the city wall that restricts the transfer of troops in Xihe City also restricts the siege, and even for the besiegers, such a city wall is simply an iron wall that cannot be attacked, unless it is to fly over and fly into the inner city, otherwise it will be useless to occupy it.
"Is there really no way? Not necessarily! ”
Zhao Min thought secretly, with a flash of inspiration, she had another attention, a way to crack this city wall, but she didn't know if it was useful, she couldn't wait.
