Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 27 Qing Kingdom attacks the city and the war begins!
Gazebo.

As the highest place in the entire city, it is usually built on both sides of the city.

But Huwei City is different, it is built inside the city.

That is, inside the city wall, only slightly higher than the city wall.

Although the view from this place is not as far as other places.

But the distance that the human eye can see is limited, unless the opponent is very powerful.

That way the soldiers on the observation deck could discover the enemy's tracks.

But in the same way, if the opponent is powerful, then this observation deck in Huwei City can also be discovered.

So it doesn't seem so stupid to build the observatory inside the city.

Because they all have the same effect.

You can’t find it by surprise, no matter what kind of lookout it is.

Anyone can discover it because of its grand momentum, and any kind of lookout tower can be used.

Of course, a big part of the reason is that Huwei City is not the first line of defense city.

So the pressure it bears is also very low.

For those who can get here, it’s useless to rely on those two lookout towers.

On the observation deck, Chen Luo folded his hands into his sleeves and looked at the oncoming army with the help of the thin sunlight.

There is no end in sight for tens of thousands of people, let alone more than fifty thousand people.

There are also many war horses and siege equipment.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a tremor in his heart after seeing the endless army.

The murderous aura that was rushing towards him was the product of countless battles.

Chen Luo frowned and made small talk: "How many people do you think will die in this battle?"

It is not surprising that many people die on the battlefield.

Otherwise, why is the battlefield called a meat grinder?
Especially the cavalry charge, that wave of charge could take the lives of thousands of infantrymen.

Haitang Duoduo also showed a rare solemn expression: "It is hard to predict, but we are the ones defending the city, so the casualties should be much less."

Chen Luo nodded, agreeing with what she said.

In this era, there were no siege weapons such as catapults, only towers, siege vehicles and the like.

If you want to capture a city and the enemy resists desperately, you will have to pay with human lives.

Fill the city gate until the enemy is unable to defend, and fill it until you can climb up to the city gate by stepping on the corpses of your companions.

At this point, your siege is almost successful.

Another reason why the defenders suffered less losses than the attackers was also simple.

The defenders stand on a high ground, and even a wave of arrows can take away a lot of enemy troops.

Moreover, the soldiers attacking the city had to climb up the city wall before they could kill the enemy.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall can use fallen rocks and wood, as well as boiling gold juice to resist them.

So attacking a city is literally a matter of life and death!

"If possible, I don't want a war to break out, at least not now." Chen Luo shook his head.

He wanted to unify the countries and build a country without war.

But that is definitely not now.

He needs to rely on the system to accumulate strength and have enough strength to do these things.

But he also understood that this war was inevitable.

Zhan Doudou had just ascended the throne and did not yet have full control of power.

An old fox like Emperor Qing will definitely find a way to bite off a piece of meat.

Haitang Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and put her arms around Chen Luo's slender waist. Under his stiff and shocked gaze, she patted his head.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Very good, I am protected! Chen Luo's eyelids twitched a few times, and he didn't know how to react.

If he reveals now that he is a man, will Haitang Duoduo take out an axe and fight him to the death?
Should he break free now, or just enjoy it?

What to enjoy? Well, Haitang Duoduo is quite interesting, better than Zhan Doudou!

······
In the capital city, the imperial study.

"A-choo!"

Zhan Doudou rubbed the tip of his nose: "Luo'er must be missing me. I don't know how he is doing at the border. I hope he's OK."

After worrying, she began to review the mountains of memorials with a look of despair on her face.

No one told her that after she consolidated power, she would have to review so many memorials every day!

······
Outside Huwei City.

The eldest prince of Nanqing was dressed in military uniform, riding a war horse and rushing in the front, followed by thousands of troops behind him.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Huwei City, he raised the spear in his hand high and used his internal force to spread the sound.

"The little kid from Northern Qi is bullying Qing, stealing the princess of Qing, and treating the dignity of Qing as nothing! What should we do?"

“Kill! Kill!! Kill!!”

A uniform roar filled with murderous intent rang out and was carried by the wind to the ears of the defenders of Huwei City.

Many of the defenders looked at this grand scene and were frightened so much that their faces turned pale.

His legs couldn't stop shaking, and his hands holding the weapon were a little unsteady.

Most of them were ordinary soldiers who had at most defeated bandits before, and this was their first time on the battlefield.

After all, Huwei City is not the first line of defense. No one has attacked here for more than 20 years.

And the 200,000 elite soldiers who actually guard the border are not here.

Or rather, it’s not just here. There are elite soldiers in every city.

That is the real defensive force of the city, and each of them is no weaker than a warrior of the second rank or above.

Uesugi Tora frowned and looked at the attacking army, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"Li Chengru, the eldest prince of Qing, is indeed a talented general. With such a powerful army, it's no wonder he is regarded as the military god of the frontier!"

As an experienced general, he could tell the strengths and weaknesses of this army at a glance.

In fact, it is easy to see that they charged towards the city without hesitation.

This kind of courage and fearlessness of death can only be possessed by elite troops.

"But it's a pity that you are destined to lose this time. This general will not let any of your elite troops go!"

Uesugi Tiger suddenly clenched his spear, and a strong sense of power burst out from his tiger eyes: "Pass the order, shoot arrows when the enemy enters 300 steps, and then drop rolling logs and rocks when they start to climb the ladder!"

"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

Those soldiers who were originally a little nervous and frightened were no longer afraid after hearing Uesugi Tora's voice.

The God of War Uesugi Tora is personally commanding the troops, what are they afraid of?
Even if we ask them to attack the city, they dare to do it!!

Uesugi Tora's reputation on the border is so great that it can be said that as long as he is there, even if he does nothing, he can stabilize the morale of the army.

What's more, it was Uesugi Tora who personally commanded them to fight the enemy.

"Shoot!!" Uesugi Tiger's roar spread throughout the city walls.

The next moment, a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky.

This is like a clarion call for war, indicating that the war has officially begun.

"Boom boom! Boom!"

The sound of beating drums rang out, and every beat went straight into people's hearts like thunder.

Li Chengru stopped his horse, pointed his spear at the city wall and shouted: "Whoever climbs the tower first will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, and whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!!"

What followed was the roar of the Qing soldiers, who were greatly encouraged by their morale: "Kill!!"
