Realm of Power

Yanzhou is covered with war clouds

The familiar roar of the God of Thunder shook the sky. Several rounds of Thunder God bullets trailing long tails of black smoke slammed into the fortress wall. A red light group illuminated the faces of more than 100,000 people on both sides of the war. One could see that some people were angry. Waves and flames rushed down from the city wall. At the burning place, someone was beating them in an orderly manner, and then rows of sand and soil were immediately built up to block the gap.

After half a month of brutal battle, from the initial panic to adaptation, the Long family's Western Army had various responses to the thunder god. The exploded mouth was covered with earth, the scattered sparks were covered with earth, and the injured were immediately dragged away. Go down, one shot of the Thunder God requires at least half a minute to reload. Although the Thunder God is powerful, its small number is its biggest shortcoming. Facing the ten-mile-long city wall defense line in Shangjing, the effect of just ten Thunder Gods is minimal.

The grassland people used to use the thunder god to attack the city gate tactics, which was almost ineffective against Shangjing, which was the largest city in the Central Asian Empire. The city gate of Shangjing was entirely made of heavy cast iron, and its thickness reached an extremely terrifying width. A ten centimeter pure iron plate, Not to mention the battering ram, a magic weapon that the prairie people thought they could break into in the past, or the thunder god, a weapon from the Western Continent brought by the Yelu family now, which only has the effect of making a white dot on it, and the sparks from the thunder god bullet on it, even Not a speck of rust was burned off,

This is what Longyang has prepared for the Yelu family. It is the strongest line of defense in this era. It brings together the masters of various measures taken during the Central and Eastern Defense War for thousands of years.

The city wall is not only covered with shooting towers built with wooden frames, but also has cross-covered catapults and storage platforms for stacking various defense materials. The city wall has ten centimeter-square thorns from ten meters above. The defenders can use the spear muzzles to stab the enemies climbing the city wall to death, or they can directly press the bow and arrow against a ten centimeter From the opening of the gun, it was fired towards the siege group outside. It was shockingly safe and reliable. Such a stabbing muzzle was like a honeycomb on the wall of Shangjing. Under the city wall, there was a deep trench up to three meters deep. A total of eight trenches were dug, and layers of sharp wood were arranged between the trenches according to horses. The front ends of the wooden points were covered with iron. Under the sun, the cold light of the metal made the scalp numb.

Not to mention that the cavalry group of the prairie people felt terrified, even the infantry were a little at a loss.

How to fight this! Each of these horses is very heavy, weighing at least one hundred kilograms. They are like layers of screens arranged between the trenches. Anyone who wants to pass through the trenches must move these horses away, which is very important for filling in these trenches. The difficulty of the ravine is not a little bit increased. If you stand against the city With all the messy long-range killing weapons shooting from the wall, I am afraid that each trench must be filled with at least thousands of fresh troops. Do you think it would take tens of thousands of people to fill eight trenches to have a chance to touch Yan? Zhou Shangjing, the most majestic city wall in northern China?

This is no joke,

Whether it is the current Central Asian Empire or previous rulers, they have invested a large amount of manpower and material resources without hesitation in this city, which is the core of northern defense. They only hope to use this as a barrier to stop the horseshoes of the people going south to the grasslands. , to protect the prosperity of the south of the barrier, hundreds of years of accumulation, the improvement and innovation of past generations of defenders, and the key reinforcements of Long Yang, the number one general in China and Libya.

The entire Shangjing was like a monster with its big mouth devouring flesh and blood, waiting for the Yelu family's grassland army to crash into it.

After reaching Shangjing in one go, the grassland army did not dare to move.

The leaders of the grassland tribes gathered around Yelu Hongtai and looked at Yanzhou Shangjing in front of them with a somewhat bitter look. They didn't know how many times they had cursed the despicable and shameless builders of Zhongbia. If they had the ability, they would fight back with real swords and guns. What kind of thing is hiding behind such a perverted city wall!

Yelu Hongtai also stared at the city ahead with complicated eyes. The hand holding the riding whip turned white unconsciously due to excessive exertion.

The skirmishers of the various teams of the Prairie People gathered on Yanzhou Shangjing. As far as the eye could see, as far as the eye could see, there were white prairie felts with the Prairie People flags. In the center of the huge Prairie People military camp, a five-meter-long stick The Sulu spear was raised high, and the Ghulam flag made of colorful wool was fluttering in the wind.

"Prepare!"

The messengers who were preparing to attack were densely packed and galloped between the formations. As if they had been given blood, the grassland Qian Dao Zhang pulled out their scimitars and shouted at the soldiers.

"Break Shangjing!"

Countless spears and scimitars were raised high, and under the sun, it covered the earth like frost and snow. The voices of the prairie warriors spread in all directions, shaking the sky. This is the cry that a nation has suppressed for thousands of years. Every prairie person, Ever since he was able to pick up a bow and arrow, his elders would tell him that in the far south, there was a group of cowardly Central Bians. Those Central Bians were sheep and only dared to hide in the sheepfold, while we prairie people were wolves. Sheep are born Let the descendants of the wolf rule, so as long as their sheepfold is broken, the descendants of the wolf can do whatever they want. Among all the sheepfolds, Yanzhou Shangjing is undoubtedly the first, and it is also the existence that the grassland people hate with gnashing of teeth. There is no this Sitting on the Beijing barrier, how could the prairie people stay toil in the bitter cold land bursting with the new wind? Generation after generation, they grew like weeds and then died. How could the prosperity and splendid mountains and rivers in the south belong to these cowardly people? Central Asians?

After finally arriving in Yanzhou and going to Beijing, is it just like this? As a descendant of wolves, even if it is steel, I have to pounce on it and take a bite!

As more than 100,000 Yelv troops gradually gathered in Shangjing,

The grassland chiefs also began to have great confidence in their hearts, and the storm was turbulent. At this moment, the huge Shangjing city wall was no better than a sand table that could fall down with a push in the eyes of the tribal leaders. This was not the first time for Shangjing. I already learned this lesson last time, how could I not know? The defense here is terrible, but on a solid defense line, people are also needed. Although the Long Family's Western Army is strong, it is inevitable to be attrition in continuous fierce battles. After being defeated in 7788, there are still 30,000 people in Shangjing City. Even if it is great, our grassland army has 130,000 to 40,000 people.

With such a huge disparity in military strength, what effect can Shangjing have, no matter how strong it is?

"Go forward and capture Shangjing!" Yelu Hongtai, an old and cunning man, narrowed his eyes and slightly raised his hand towards the Yelu army, whose morale and morale were at an explosive state. The attack line composed of more than 100,000 grassland troops began to move towards Shangjing. He rushed towards him, the spear he held high was like a rolling wolf. The cold light gleamed like a rolling wolf, and the people couldn't open their eyes. The sound of shouting shook the mountains, and the riders Soldiers, infantry, siege towers, and sea-like siege ladders were so densely packed that it was so dense that it was mind-numbing. The first trench was immediately flooded by countless crowds. Arrows rained down from the city walls, and the prairie people were like The ants climbed up as densely as a giant sugar cube, holding such large and small shields in their hands, and rushed forward regardless of life or death.

"Ahhhhh"

Where the arrow rain fell, the grassland troops who were attacking at the front fell down and rolled over one after another, but more and more of them were followed by the horses and fell into the ditch by the crowd. "Change arrows!" On the walls of the capital, the Western Army archers shouted The formations of the teams were changed. Facing such a large number of prairie people, the Western archers on the city wall went crazy.

Shooting, changing lines, shooting, changing lines, shooting again, gasping for air, simply gave up aiming, and no longer had to obey the orders of the neatly organized people. They only knew to shoot out an arrow, step back, and immediately pull out as quickly as possible. Draw the bow string, then stand up and shoot again at the heads of the crowded grassland people in front of the trench below. Immediately there is a painful groan from below,

"Hurry, speed up, everyone is eaten! Three hundred meters ahead! Hit me hard! Break a piece first before talking."

On the catapult on the city wall, the huge long-armed catapult purchased from the Falcon Empire began to make the tightening sound of the winch. Looking at the crazy archers on the city wall desperately covering the downwards, the captain of the Western Army next to the catapult was obviously He was a little anxious and looked extremely corrupt. He wished he could just kick the sling in front of him.

This super-large catapult bought from the Western Continent is completely different from the catapults in Central and Bibia. It has a long range and great power, but it pulls too slowly.

In the Central Asian region, catapults are not considered heavy-duty weapons. Most of them are only three meters long, with wooden wheels underneath. They are bulky and mainly rely on throwing various gravels to cause damage. Their main function is not to deal with stones. The city wall built was used to attack the camp, because Zhongbi Most of the wars in Asia since ancient times have been fought around various strong walls and fortresses. The main siege force used is still a variety of large siege equipment such as cloud chariots and siege towers. In comparison, Catapults that only throw gravel are not valued because of their short range and lack of lethality.

But the catapults of the Western Continent are completely different.

The catapults of the Western Continent are not only army weapons, but also the main weapons of the naval fleet, so they are more practical and expanded. Countries also spend money on research and improvement, and development is also developing towards a high trend, especially with the burning of the Falcon Empire With the advent of the ultimate weapon, the catapult, the empire did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the catapult. Capital, the catapult has truly entered the scope of military weapons as a shocking and powerful weapon. Over the past few years, after several improvements, and various demonic changes made by each legion to adapt to combat, the imperial catapult has Not only has it developed to a level that is terrifying, but even more detailed classifications have emerged

Long Yang had seen the catapults of the Imperial Army in the Falcon Empire, and was immediately attracted by this huge weapon. The empire had strict control over Thor's takeaways, and the prices were astonishingly expensive, but there was no limit on catapults, and the price It can even be said to be of high quality and low price. The stones required for the catapult can be obtained from local materials, and the maximum range is a distance that shocked Long Yang to the point of dropping his jaw, five hundred meters.

This is definitely a super long-range existence in the Zhongbia region. The range of the Zhongbia bow is about 80 meters, and the farthest catapult is only 200 meters. When he discovered this kind of thing, how could Long Yang not be moved? A total of sixty large catapults were purchased from the empire in one fell swoop, and they were all installed on the city walls of Shangjing in Yanzhou.

This imperial brand stone-throwing monster, which was specially improved in accordance with the requirements of the Long family, has a parabolic arm of fifteen meters long and can throw nearly a thousand kilograms of heavy objects at a time. It is not only used to throw huge rolling stones, it can kill half a team. To crush the minced meat of the city, you can also change the shooting and install various debris stones. The blocks are clustered to cause damage, because the advanced mechanical lever technology of the Falcon Empire is used. The giant-like Empire slingshot can really operate. From pulling the lever to loading and then launching, only twenty people can complete it. All works, can launch once a minute,

The soldiers of the Long Family's Western Army struggled to pull down the long arm of the large catapult with a lever. Several soldiers were hurriedly pushing the huge stones into the shot. With a huge roar, all the soldiers squatted down. , the harsh tearing sound of "huh" pressed against the eardrums, which was painful. It was the sound of air being squeezed. If you didn't have time to lie down, your ears were filled with the sound of "um".

Just above the catapult, I saw a beautiful parabola rising into the sky, and then at the end, it began to smash downwards quickly, boom! The moment the boulder hit the ground, an impact visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions. The people who were directly hit were almost gone in an instant, and the dense grassland people blocking the way of the rolling boulder were even more bloody. Flying sideways, before the screams could be fully uttered, round stones were thrown into the queue behind like meteors, and their brains were scattered. △♦,. The minced meat flew everywhere. Under the rolling boulder was a trail of bloody minced meat residue. A bloody rolling path was formed in this way. The surrounding prairie people were scattered with a bang.

If you look at it from the Yanzhou city wall, it just feels like a small stone hitting the lake. The massacre of more than 100,000 people is the most terrifying sound in the world. Boulders and arrows as dense as raindrops, countless A violent bombardment hit the sea of ​​people, like waves hitting a hard rock wall, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red. The sound of sharp weapons piercing the body and bones breaking came and went in the raindrops.

The warm sun in spring would definitely be comfortable in other places, but the warm sun falling on Yanzhou Shangjing at this moment has already been covered by the arrow clusters fired back and forth by the archers from both sides. The grassland army of more than 100,000 troops attacked fiercely. Yanzhou went to Beijing, and the fierce battle lasted from morning to afternoon. Both sides tried their best. Under the city of Shangjing, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Every inch of the ground was covered with blood.

The land that should have been dry and hard is now full of mud and blood flowing in a low-lying land. The corpses piled up layer by layer formed hills, and the blood gurgled into small rivers. The strong nerves of the prairie people are here. vividly reflected After all, as long as the arrows were hit and survived, they would be carried forward by the crowd. In one morning, one-third of the arrow clusters of the Yanzhou defenders were thrown out, and millions of arrow clusters were inserted all over the ground. Unable to stop the prairie army from filling in four trenches
