Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 207 I Have a Chariot to Break the City

Liji County is located at the southernmost tip of Tangting Mansion, like a long and pointed wedge, embedded between Qingqiu Mansion and Jiwei Mansion. There is a big river in the territory - Liji River.

Liji County is built on the banks of Liji River.

It is precisely because of its unique geographical location that Lilu County has become the priority target of the Southwest Corps.

Liji County has a long border with Qingqiu Mansion and Jiwei Mansion, and it is the closest county to Qingqiu City. If Liji County is not given priority, the Swagger Army can pass through Liji County at any time to invade In the rear of the fief, harassing tactics were carried out against the grain transportation team and even the granary.

This is absolutely fatal.

…………

The sixth day of March, Jiwei Mansion, Liniu County.

Taking into account the convenience of coordinating the left and right sides, Xue Rengui set up the temporary headquarters of the Right Route Army here. After receiving the attack order from the headquarters, he immediately summoned the three brigade commanders Zhou Qing, Yue Yun and Tang Sifang for a military meeting.

"Marshal, how to fight this battle, you can directly order, the third brigade is willing to be the vanguard." After breaking through to Wuzong, Tang Sifang's heart became even more passionate, and he had been waiting for this battle for a long time.

Zhou Qing and Yue Yun were also eager to try, but they didn't speak.

"Very good." Xue Rengui glanced at Tang Sifang, and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Qing, Yue Yun."

"exist!"

The two came out excitedly.

"Zhou Qing will be the main general, Yue Yun will be the deputy general. Lead the troops, and immediately advance into Liji County tomorrow morning. Within three days, we will take this city at all costs."

"Follow the orders!"

The two clasped their hands in excitement.

Tang Sifang was dumbfounded, and said, "Marshal, then, what about me?"

Xue Rengui said: "The third brigade is in charge of monitoring the county."

"Ah, ah?"

Tang Sifang immediately had a bitter face, feeling that the third brigade had no part in this emotional battle, and he was very depressed.

Xue Rengui said: "Don't take it lightly. Whether it's the garrison of Xuanxian County who wants to reinforce Liji County, or the reinforcements sent by Zhaoyao City, the third brigade must complete the interception immediately. Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, Marshal, we promise to complete the task!"

Tang Sifang's eyes lit up and he gave a new military salute.

"Then go down and get ready."

Xue Rengui ended the military discussion neatly, and the three brigade commanders were all chosen at the moment, so there was no need for him to give more instructions.Besides, there is a radio station, so you can keep in touch at any time.

…………

On the seventh day of March, it was sunny.

Early in the morning, Zhou Qingbu and Yue Yunbu set off from camp, crossed the border, officially started the Battle of Zhaoyao County, and quickly advanced towards Liji County.

The Ninth Brigade of the Swagger Army is stationed in Liji County. After the investigation, they are ready for battle.

Because the border is very close to Liji County, before noon, the army had finished forming outside Liji County, and after a short rest, they immediately launched an attack.

Zhou Qing has a tacit understanding with Yue Yun, hoping to open up the situation on the first day.

three days?

too long!
Liji County was built facing the river to the west and south, so the Zhou Qing Department was responsible for attacking the north, and the Yue Yun Department was responsible for attacking the east, blocking the water around Liji County.

boom!boom!boom!
Accompanied by the sound of war drums and horns, the first to appear was the siege weapon - the Turtle Chariot.

After several battles with Qingqiu, the fief seized as many as twelve Xuangui chariots, and the two divisions each got six, which they regard as treasures.

This time to attack Liji County, because it was the first show of the First Division, Xue Rengui sent all six Xuangui chariots over to cheer.

This is also the first time that the Turtle Chariot made its debut in the Human Race Civil War.

Unlike the demon tribe that uses the Tortoise Chariot as a mobile arrow tower, Master Yanzhi has made all-round improvements to the Tortoise Chariot, making it a real siege weapon.

It can be described as armed to the teeth.

First of all, the most practical telescopic siege ladder of the Tortoise Chariot was changed to one with an impact drill, which can not only be hooked on the city wall, but can also be adjusted in height to penetrate directly into the city wall.

In this way, the safety of the siege ladder is greatly guaranteed, and it is not easy to be destroyed.

Secondly, the top of the original simple arrow tower was transformed into a fully enclosed monk tower, which can accommodate one or two monks, unleash spells on the city wall, and at the same time ensure the safety of the monks.

This is simply a mobile mage tower.

The biggest change is still at the bottom. In view of the high load capacity of the spinning turtle, Master Yanzhi directly transplanted the spiritual fortress cannon to the spinning turtle's back and transformed it into a mobile fort.

Of course it's not the full version, it's a miniature version.

Qianyuan named this small cannon a psychic mortar, and what was fired was no longer a grenade composed of bone-penetrating nails, but a city-breaking bomb specially designed for siege.

When the city-breaking bomb hits the target, due to the impact force, the broken shell will stick to the surface of the city wall like plaster. When the fuse detonates the explosive, the shock wave generated acts on the city wall with a stress of tens of tons per square centimeter. On the city wall, easily blast the city wall.

Compared with grenades, city-breaking bombs have a simple structure, low cost, and high explosive power.The disadvantage is that the range is short, and the best explosion effect can only be produced within a range of 800 meters.

With the cover of the tortoise and the special turret armor, 800 meters is not a problem at all.

Under the cover of the army, six new Turtle Chariots were quickly in place, like six mobile forts, aiming at the North City Gate and the East City Gate respectively, with a faint sense of killing.

On the top of the city, the officers and men of the Ninth Brigade of the Swagger Army looked at the prehistoric beast-like spinning turtle, as well as the ferocious arrow towers and forts on the spinning turtle's back, and felt chills in their hearts.

Some people may have heard of the Demon Tribe’s Tortoise Chariot, but this is probably the first time they’ve seen one in real form.

"Fire arrows!"

The defenders of the city subconsciously launched a counterattack, and the rain of arrows all over the sky came to cover the Xuangui chariot.

The stupid and cute spinning turtle retracted its head directly into the turtle shell, and the arrows jingled on the turtle shell, just like Rao Tickling, without leaving even a white mark.

"boom!"

At the same time that the arrows rained down on the city, the psychic mortar on the back of the Turtle Chariot was fully charged, and the head-sized shell roared, drawing an arc, and heading straight for the city gate.

bang~~~
The city-breaking bomb was about to hit the city gate, and under the squeeze, it exploded instantly, blasting a big hole out of the thick city gate.

The gates of the county seat are simply not enough to see in front of the psychic mortars.

After only one round of volley, the seemingly solid city gate was turned into ruins. While the guards were stunned, they squeaked and fell to the ground.

The city fell into a deathly silence.

"This, is the city broken?" Many people didn't react immediately.

"kill!"

While the Swaggering Army was in a daze, Zhou Qing's troops and Yue Yun's troops, who had long been ready to attack, launched an attack on the city gate almost at the same time. For a time, there were swords and guns, and flags fluttering.

Roll up billowing smoke and dust.

On the other side, after blasting down the city gate, the Rotary Turtle Chariot was not idle either. With the city gate as the center, it continuously poured shells to the two sides of the city to cover the charge of its own troops.

"Damn!"

The members of the Taixu sect guarding the top of the city, aware of the threat of the Xuangui Chariot, did not care about the melee in the city, and sacrificed magic weapons, ready to destroy the Xuangui Chariot.

They were worried that Zhaoyao City would be bombarded by the Tortoise Chariot.

"Golden Armor Technique!"

Almost at the same time that the disciples of Taixu Sect sacrificed their magical weapons, the monks hiding in the monk tower also activated the intermediate talismans in their hands, forming a golden light shield to protect the spinning turtle.

How could a treasure like the Turtle Chariot have no means of protection?

The monks in the monk tower are not used to attack the city. Their main duty is to guard the safety of the spinning turtle. They are best at defensive spells, such as water mask, wind wall, light mask and so on.

Among them, the golden armor technique is the most powerful.

Faced with this kind of protection, the magical weapons of Taixu Sect disciples could only spin around in the periphery, slowly consuming the spiritual power of the talismans.But they don't know that Baoluxuan sells talismans.

Qianyuan lacks everything else, except for talismans.

In order to attract monks to join the army to serve, one of the conditions Qian Yuan promised was that the talismans should be in charge.

Before the golden armor spell expired, the monks in the monk tower activated a golden armor spell talisman again, forming another golden mask on the inner layer.

Let the Taixu Sect disciples who attack the Tortoise Chariot call out to Naihe.

Although Taixuzong occupied Zhaoyao County and looted a lot of cultivation resources, most of them were used to refine blood-changing pills and train new disciples.

Coupled with the fact that Taixuzong's ability to manage Zhaoyao County is still weak, the net worth of Taixuzong's disciples did not increase much.

It is even more incomparable with an upstart like Qianyuan.

In addition to cultivation, magic tools and talismans are also crucial aspects of monk fighting. In this regard, disciples of Taixu Sect can't take advantage of it.

Accompanied by the roaring sound of cannons, Zhou Qing's tribe and Yue Yun's tribe had passed through the city gate and marched into Lilu County in a mighty manner, fighting with the ninth brigade of the Swagger Army stationed in the city.

On one side are elites who have experienced many battles, and on the other side are new troops who have never been on the battlefield.

What the result will be, one can imagine.

Naturally, Taixuzong would not sit still. Almost at the same time when the First Division attacked Liji County, Taixuzong also played their first hole card.
