The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

In this regard, Du Yuanzhi nodded, agreeing with Guo Zhen's words.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Owen, who fought three siege battles in a row, was still calm.

Although the army under his command also suffered obvious losses during this week's attack, however, this loss was completely within his tolerance.

Since there is going to be an invasion war, it is obvious that this psychological preparation is still necessary.

As long as he can successfully break through the city in front of him, while winning the invasion battle, he can also plunder the resources and population in the city.

In such a large city, there are at least 40 to [-] people in it, right?

Such a large amount of cheap labor is enough to make the development efficiency of his civilization go further!

Thinking of this, Owen pondered for a while, calculated the time, then turned his head and said to a personal guard beside him...

"Pass down the order, take a day off tomorrow, and start from the day after tomorrow to carry out continuous siege!"

Undoubtedly, as the defender of the city, there are two obvious advantages...

The first advantage is the towering city walls.

And the second advantage is the reinforcements within their own territory!

Owen saw the smoke rising from the top of the Gaoling city wall. After receiving the signal from the rear, he calculated the time and found that the reinforcements on the opposite side should already be on the way.

After spending a few more waves of defensive resources on the opposite side, it's almost time for him to get serious.

Now turn the angle of view to Mirror City.

Since the Europa player invaded, Luo Ji had undoubtedly received many letters from Gaoling City.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​the situation on the front line.

The infantry unit composed of a large number of shield soldiers is characterized by a balance of offense and defense, which is perfect for fighting attrition wars.

And this is obviously the main purpose of the Europa player.

Using a large number of shield soldiers to carry out continuous sieges, consume his Gaoling City's defensive resources, and then see the opportunity to break through the city in one go.

This kind of method is a typical conspiracy, and it is impossible for Du Yuanzhi not to see it.

So Luo Ji wasn't particularly worried.

The reinforcements from Oasis City and Xiyuan City were already rushing to Gaoling City.

The reinforcements from the two cities together have [-] troops, plus the advantage of the city wall, it is not so easy for Aowen to take advantage of it.

Moreover, even if it is really a last resort, they are not without cards.

The fighting on the western frontier undoubtedly continued.

After a day of rest, Owen's siege army decisively launched a continuous siege.

One day, two days, three days...

The continuous onslaught of the Europa army did not give them a chance to breathe.

Outside Gaoling City, a large number of corpses had already piled up.

And after a few days of exposure to the sun, it gradually exuded a disgusting stench.

Maintaining this fighting rhythm, after five consecutive days of siege, Owen, who felt that the war of attrition was almost over, decisively revealed his trump card.

Looking at the black Europa army outside the city, Guo Zhen on the top of the wall, his face was extremely ugly.

"Do these intruders still have so many troops hidden in their hands?!"

Although he couldn't come up with an accurate figure based on visual inspection alone, after so many days of siege, the strength of the opponent's troops can still be maintained at the level of seven or eight thousand, which can already explain a lot of problems.

At the same time, there were four more tanks filled with metal armor plates in the opposite army formation.

Just by looking at it, one can clearly feel the opponent's astonishing defensive power.

Amidst the high-pitched offensive horns, a long-awaited siege was completed!

A large number of Europa soldiers rushed towards the gate of Gaoling City pushing the four chariots.

Judging by that posture, the opponent is probably planning to use that chariot to smash into the city gate!

Du Yuanzhi wanted to stop it, but the person who built the armored tank was obviously mentally prepared from the very beginning to let these four tanks bear all the firepower.

The piece of armor plate on the top is simply thick and scary.

Facing the continuous firing of the three-bow bed crossbow and the return cannon, although the four armored chariots were beaten beyond recognition, they still pushed forward tenaciously with the overwhelming firepower.

"General, go and defend the city gate!"

Hearing Du Yuanzhi's shout, Guo Zhen, who was dressed in military uniform, rushed down the city wall quickly.

After the war of attrition for more than ten days before, the defense troops of Gaoling City consumed a lot of resources for the defense of the city. Now the firepower of the defense of this battle is not as fierce as before.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the soldiers of Europa.

After narrowing the distance to a certain extent, they decisively began to push the armored vehicle to hit the gate of Gaoling City!

At this moment, the entire city gate was knocked to pieces.

The opportunity to break the city can be said to be close at hand!

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Under the repeated collisions of armored vehicles, the closed gate of Gaoling City began to rise slowly.

This made Owen, who was directing the siege from the rear, slightly frowned.

"Is the opposite party planning to take advantage of the limited space in the city gate area to fight hand-to-hand with me?"

With the rise of this thought, a sneer appeared on Owen's face.

If this is the case, it can only be said that the opposite party is too naive.

His four armored vehicles are completely capable of rushing into the city in one go!Trying to trap him in the city gate area is simply a dream!

And just when Owen was thinking this way, a roaring explosion suddenly came from Gaoling City!

Before those Europa soldiers could react, a powerful impact hit the front of the armored vehicle directly!

The front of the armored vehicle covered with armor plates was almost smashed to pieces on the spot.

Even a whole armored vehicle was blasted out.

At that time, the soldiers who were pushing the armored vehicles were even more unlucky. They were just knocked out, which was good luck.

Many soldiers were directly hit by this impact and vomited blood to death.

The astonishing scene caused the battle at the gate of the city to fall into deathly silence in an instant!

Chapter 935 , Roaring Cannon

"Damn! Shoot stone cannons?!"

At that moment, Owen, who had already realized what had happened, swears violently on the spot.

But then he realized something, and he quickly shook his head.

"Impossible, according to the power of a normal stone-shooting cannon, it is impossible to destroy the armor plate of my armored vehicle with one shot!"

The weapon of stone shooting cannon is obviously no stranger to players who have developed to the black iron rank.

According to their technical strength, combined with the advantages of modern players, it is not difficult to create them.

It's just that they don't use it at all.

The accuracy and range are not comparable to the three-bow bed crossbow, and the cost is too high to die.

Before the development to the next stage, it is impossible for artillery to replace the three-bow crossbow on the battlefield.

However, the situation before Owen's eyes is that the opponent has obviously used artillery.

And the power of that cannon is simply astonishing!

There was no time for Owen to think about it. The defenders of Gaoling City would not wait until the opponent figured it out before continuing to attack!

At this moment, behind the gate of Gaoling City, the muzzles of three cannons were all pointing in the direction of the gate. Among them, the muzzle of the leftmost cannon was still smoking slightly. One hit, and it's a masterpiece.

Under normal circumstances, the power of the stone-shooting cannon is of course impossible to reach this level.

It's just that the artillery research and development of the Myriad Worlds Civilization has already stepped into the field of "rifled guns".

However, it is probably a technical problem, or a design problem.

The range and power are obviously far worse.

The effective range is about 350 meters, and the power of the shells is still being adjusted. In addition to the cost, there is still research to completely replace the three-bow bed crossbow.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this range problem that they have not installed the artillery on the wall for the time being as a defensive tool.

But when blocking the city gate, it unexpectedly came in handy.

At that time, the armored vehicle that rushed in was only 40 meters away from the muzzle of the artillery.

What is this concept?

It is basically equivalent to putting the muzzle on your forehead and firing!

One can imagine the power of the shelling at this distance.

At the same time, from the front of the car that was completely smashed by the cannonball, Guo Zhen also discovered that there were soldiers hidden inside the armored car!

Those soldiers were very unusual. They were all wearing silver-white full-body armor, and armed themselves like an iron barrel.

Such attire instantly reminded Guo Zhen of the elite troops of their Myriad Realms civilization, the Xuanjia Army!

Now, Guo Zhen can be said to have reacted all at once.

There is a trick on the other side!

They hid a heavy armored infantry in an armored vehicle, and then let ordinary soldiers push the armored vehicle through the city gate and rushed into the city.

When the time comes, when the door of the armored vehicle opens, a large number of heavily armed heavy armored infantry will be killed from the vehicle. Facing such a wave of unprepared attacks, with their strength near the city gate, it is estimated that they will really be defeated by the opposite side .

Thinking of this, Guo Zhen also showed a lingering fear on his face.

Then he ordered loudly...

"Fire! Keep firing!!"

The three cannons fired one after another in sequence. Amidst the roar of the cannon fire, the thermal weapons officially entered the stage of the battlefield of the era.

The bulky armored vehicle has no ability to evade the artillery attack at all, basically no different from the target placed there.

Facing the flying shells, the thick armor plate could not provide any security for the Europa heavy armored infantry inside.

In the blink of an eye, they followed in the footsteps of the first armored vehicle.

Those Europa heavy armored infantrymen hiding in the armored vehicles were blown out by the people with the vehicles in a daze before they even figured out what happened.

Even if he survived by luck, he would probably have suffered a severe concussion in the face of such a close-range shelling.

At this moment, Owen felt that his whole heart was bleeding!

Leaving aside the armored vehicles, the heavy armored infantry there, from weapons and equipment to daily training, were all paid for by him with money, and they were also his ace troops.

Before he could play any value, he fell under the artillery on the opposite side. This cruel reality stunned him for nearly a minute.

Afterwards, there was an obvious hiss in his voice...

"Rush in! Rush in for me!!!"

In Gaoling City, after the three cannons fired, there was only one armored vehicle left.

The armored vehicle is propelled by manpower. In the current situation, if you turn around and run away, you will only be completely reduced to the target of the opposite cannon.

If you rush in head-on, before the cannon fires in the next round, you will have a higher success rate!

And it has already been lost to such a point, if he does not rob him of a city's resources and go back, can he swallow that breath? !

The soldiers of Europa under Owen's command are obviously no strangers to the hot weapon of cannon.

After being taken aback by the attack from the opposite side, he didn't lose his footing completely like a native.

One by one, they rushed forward quickly, pushing the last armored car and rushing inside.

Guo Zhen, who sensed the other party's intentions, naturally would not let them succeed.
