Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 835: Ming Wang’s winning card

Liaoxi County, Lonely Bamboo City, the Xia army's offensive against it reached its peak. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchigong and other generals even participated in the siege themselves, holding shields to climb.

In order to capture Guzhu City as soon as possible and put pressure on the Ming army, the Xia army has so far lost 70,000 soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The fifteen-meter-high wall of Lone Bamboo City is like a moat, which needs human life to fill.

Xia Jun spent a lot of time in order to fill in the moat and trenches outside Lone Bamboo City and destroy the Arrow Tower.

Not only that, the fifteen-meter-high city wall requires the siege tower to be more than twenty meters high.

Within the outer city of Lone Bamboo City, there is also an inner city wall, which is fortified layer by layer and watertight.

Lone Bamboo City is one of the three fortresses built by Mingguan, and it is also the first fortress to prevent the Xia army from occupying Liaodong, so whether it is fortifications, or food and weapons, everything is sufficient.

Sun Chuanting defended the city while recruiting troops and mobilized the residents of the city to assist in defending the city, making it more difficult for the Xia army to attack the city.

Boom!

Boom!

Dozens of boulders fell, and with a loud bang that could be heard clearly for miles around, a section of the outer city wall to the west of Lone Bamboo City was finally unable to withstand the high-intensity bombardment of the Xiangyang Cannon, and finally collapsed!

When Mingguan was building a fortress, the city wall pursued the height of the Middle Ages and ignored the thickness, so Lone Bamboo City was not without flaws.

"Kill!!"

Two fierce generals, Yuchigong and Cheng Yaojin, who were sent by Chutian to assist Geng Yin in attacking the fortress, led the Xuanjia Army and entered Lone Bamboo City along the gap!

In the outer city of Lone Bamboo City, Sun Chuanting knew that the outer city wall could not be effectively defended when the western city wall collapsed, so he set up a strong crossbow.

Yuchigong and Cheng Yaojin's Xuanjia army invaded the outer city and were targeted by several bed crossbows and hundreds of divine arm bows.

Dozens of black-armored cavalrymen were killed by bed crossbows and divine arm bows, and Cheng Yaojin swung a big axe and hit a thick crossbow arrow, the axe body was shaking violently.

The bed crossbow does not rely on arm strength, but torque.

The bowmen in the outer city fought and retreated, but were trampled by the Xuanjia army at all costs, and hundreds of people were killed in battle. Finally, they returned to the inner city with Sun Chuanting.

The outer city was breached, and it would take some time for the Xia army to occupy the outer city.

In addition to the outer city, Lone Bamboo City also has an inner city and inner city walls.

With the walls of the inner city, Sun Chuanting has the confidence to hold on for a longer period of time and continue to defeat the Xia army's front.

Because of Sun Chuanting's stubborn resistance, it did cause a lot of casualties to Xia Jun's siege troops.

The morale of the Xia army also dropped slightly because Lone Bamboo City could not be conquered for a long time.

Yuchigong and Cheng Yaojin's Xuanjia army chased all the way to the city gate of the inner city, and were shot back by the bed crossbow.

"Why is there still a city wall? He was almost killed by a crossbow."

Cheng Yaojin's life after the robbery can't help but rejoice.

"Tear down all the houses and build siege equipment."

Geng Yan and Cheng Yu, who were in charge of the siege, entered the city and saw that Lone Bamboo City had an inner city, and there was a moat on the periphery of the inner city, which was very troublesome.

Tens of thousands of siege troops immediately demolished the houses in the outer city for timber and stone.

Almost the entire outer city was razed to the ground.

Large trebuchets are not capable of inflicting damage to city walls and defenders out of thin air, they need to be filled with qualified stones.

Chutian, Ekaterina, and many generals camped outside the city to confront Mingguan.

He and Mingguan, almost at the same time, saw the wolf smoke billowing in Lone Bamboo City, and probably knew that the siege party had finally broken through the outer city.

As long as the inner city is captured again, most of them can capture Sun Chuanting alive, and occupy this city, relieve the threat of Lone Bamboo City to Youzhou, and open the road to Liaodong City.

"If Lone Bamboo City is left with only the inner city, Mingguan can't wait to fight us to the death to prevent Lone Bamboo City from truly falling."

When Chu Tian saw that Lone Bamboo City had finally opened a breakthrough, he couldn't help shaking his head.

If the opponent fights him in the field, it will be neat.

Generally speaking, each commander avoids getting into arduous offensive and defensive battles, but pursues quick wins in field battles. For national strength, quick battles do not have to bear too much burden.

In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi managed to draw out the Zhao army, surrounded and annihilated it.

In the last battle, Han Xin also managed to coax King Zhao out of the battle.

The offensive and defensive battle is the most tragic battle. Basically, both sides can only continue to increase their troops, and then die under the strong city walls.

Especially for the siege side, the offensive and defensive battles are more painful.

"If you win this battle, you should be 90% sure to unify the Han Empire?"

Ekaterina calmly looked at the battlefield in western Liaoning, where the beacon fires continued.

The focus of the Western Liaoning battlefield was Lone Bamboo City. The Xia Army lost more than 100,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.

Chutian has rarely suffered such losses, although most of the auxiliary soldiers are probably just civilians pushing the sand to fill the moat.

"I dare not say 90%. There are quite a few kings who unified the north and then overturned."

Chutian only knew of Cao Cao at the Battle of Chibi, Fu Jian (Former Qin) at the Battle of Feishui, Yuanying (Northern Wei) at the Battle of Zhongli, Wanyanliang at the Battle of Caishiji (Jin Guo) ).

At present, Tongque has the largest navy in the Han Empire. Chutian's navy is just a part of the army, while for Tongque, the navy is the main force.

At the same time, although Chu Tian was conspiring with Sun Jian, he wanted to win over the Sun family of the Eastern Wu Dynasty and lay the groundwork for the future to conquer the Southeast.

But Sun Jian may not be completely reliable. After all, Sun Jian and Tong Que are righteous brothers, and they may turn against Chu Tian at any time.

Chu Tian is also not good at figuring out the character of Sun Jian in "The Lord", and they don't have many opportunities to meet face to face.

"Since you left Eastern Europe, the situation in Eastern Europe has changed. The territory of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania has been divided up by me and Hohenzollern, and the lion of Sweden, Gustav II, also wants to To carve up the territory, he covets the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and the situation is quite troublesome. Because of your relationship, my empire may be attacked from three sides by the Kingdom of Sweden, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Kingdom of Macedonia..."

Ekaterina inadvertently mentions the situation in the Western Continent.

Because Attila, the leader of the Hungarian Empire, was killed in battle, after the fall of the Hungarian Empire camp, the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Macedonia rose and expanded their territories, and were about to border the Tsarist Russia Empire.

Coupled with the pressure brought by the Nordic lion Gustav II, it can be said that Ekaterina's life is not easy, it is equivalent to an empire to carry an empire, plus the pressure of two kingdoms.

"The Tsarist Empire has always been in conflict with them, so even if I don't intervene, they will not let Tsarist Russia go."

Chu Tian rolled his eyes.

The contradiction between the Tsarist Russian Empire and other European civilizations is not the level of the relationship between Chutian and Ekaterina.

"There is no shortage of careerists in the Western Continent. It is just because of the over-balanced power and complex beliefs, ethnicity, culture, and language issues that there is no Western Qin Shi Huang. Many people have tried to unify the Western Continent, but no Doubts fall short, Charlemagne, Napoleon, etc."

Ekaterina unknowingly refers to the history of the Western Continent.

"What has Alexander been doing lately?"

"Siege the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul."

"He's doing an incredible job. The Ottoman Empire seems to have some bad luck too, their capital is right between the eastern and western continents, and is adjacent to the Thrace region controlled by the Kingdom of Macedonia. That is, Alexander Gather troops in Thrace, and they will be able to attack the city within a few days, and the Turks do not know if they will have time to react.”

Chutian observed a few seconds of silence for the Ottoman Empire.

Since the Ottoman Empire was accidentally killed by Huo Qubing during the national war, the country's fortunes have been stagnant. First, it fell into civil strife. The Turkish Praetorian Guard Yenicheri Corps took the opportunity to intervene in the selection of the Sudanese and supported the son of Empress Xu Leimu. In the upper position, Sultan Xu Leim listened to the government under the curtain.

In the fourth national war, the Ottoman Empire colluded with Attila and attacked the Thrace region of the Kingdom of Macedonia because of its failure to stand in line. As a result, it was hated by Alexander.

After Alexander annexed part of the territory of the Huns in the Ukrainian steppe, he immediately retaliated against Sultan Xurem and besieged the city of Istanbul on the border of the Kingdom of Macedonia.

The Macedonian kingdom is also well-positioned to expand into West Asia.

The situation in the western continent has become clear.

The Kingdom of Macedonia is committed to expanding into West Asia, the Roman Empire is committed to expanding into North Africa, the Holy Roman Empire wants to annex Poland, and the Kingdom of Sweden wants to turn the Baltic Sea into an inland lake.

As for the Western continental civilizations such as France, England, Netherlands, Spain, etc., due to the geographical constraints, it is not easy to expand, and can only consider annexing civilizations from other continents and establishing colonies.

Chu Tian thought that the civilization of the Western Continent was also expanding, and shook his head again.

His hand can't reach that far.

Various civilizations fought against each other, and in the dark, even the Central Asian region, which has always been unknown, is rising because of Ogotai's efforts.

Chutian already knew that the Mongolian and Turkic coalition forces smashed the millions of troops of the Kushan Empire.

Originally, Chutian thought that after Temujin's death, the team left by the Mongol Empire would soon fall apart and decline.

However, Chu Tian still underestimated the Golden Family.

If Temujin is regarded as the first generation, then the second generation, Wo Kuotai, Tuo Lei, etc., are still quite united, and the third and fourth generations begin to split.

"I don't have time to worry about it for now, let's deal with the enemy in front of me."

Chu Tian thought about it for a while, he really didn't have the ability to deal with so many civilizations at the same time.

The entire world of lords is in constant strife, and even a medium-to-upper-sized civilization like Dongying is trying to expand.

"My lord, King Ming's army is frequently mobilized and is approaching our camp."

Hua Mulan personally came to inform Chutian about the movement of the opposing army.

The battle of Western Liaoning was too important for Chutian forces, and Mulan had to pay attention.

If the Ming Pass cannot be defeated and Luoyang City is taken back by Lao Qin, then the Northern War launched by Chutian in the past two years will fall short, and the situation may even be reversed.

Sometimes the tide turns, just after a battle. For general changes, the ability of the individual is difficult to control.

"Because the outer city of Lone Bamboo City was lost, King Ming probably couldn't hold back. He wanted to fight with us in western Liaoning. He did use Lone Bamboo City to cause us a lot of casualties."

According to the situation reported by Hua Mulan, Chu Tian speculated that a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army was imminent.

Chutian wanted a quick decision, and Mingguan wanted to take the lead in consuming Chutian's army before the decisive battle began. Now both sides have achieved their goals. Therefore, the time for the decisive battle that both sides wanted has come.

"There is an important piece of information."

Before the decisive battle, Xue Yue, who was in charge of intelligence, got new intelligence in Liaodong City.

Chu Tian raised his brows when he heard the latest information obtained by Xue Yue: "Mingguan actually obtained such a good thing... But it is not surprising, in the Battle of Songjin in the late Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing has indeed been It became popular, and because Mingguan suffered a lot, it was not easy to win..."

"What happened?"

Ekaterina wondered.

Chutian's current vision is not low. The props that can be regarded as good things by Chutian are mostly really good things, and they are props that Chutian has never seen before.

Chu Tian nodded: "It's really a good thing..."

At the camp of the Ming army, a team of large carriages arrived, and the red cloth covered the carriage, covering the Mingguan hole card.

"In the battle of Songjin, it was only after nine deaths that I got this small batch of props..."

Mingguan led the generals to the front of the carriage.

Xianbei generals such as Murong Ba, Murong Ke, Murong Lin, Yuwen Yidougui, Yuwentai, Duan Piju, and Wuhuan generals such as Tadun did not follow Mingguan to the Battle of Songjin, the fifth epic battle. So they didn't know what props Mingguan brought back.

"This team of carriages can really turn the tide of the battle?"

Murong Ke was very curious about what Mingguan brought back.

"Impossible. In any case, with a small team of carriages, it is impossible to change the entire battlefield. Western Liaoning has more than one million soldiers and horses."

She shook her head.

As a military adviser, Yao Guangxiao wore a black robe and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to uncover the red cloth.

Almost everyone's eyes are on the props under the red cloth.

Almost all the generals of the Ming army knew that with their positive strength, the Ming army would not be able to defeat the Xia army with a high probability.

To win, you have to find another way.

The red cloth was lifted, revealing a heavy, icy bronze firearm.

"The Qing army's... red cannons!"

Mingguan's eyes showed a bit of fanaticism ~IndoMTL.com~ The Battle of Songjin, his cavalry captured the Qing army's positions, plundered a group of red-clothed cannons, and captured a group of Qing army artillerymen.

In "Lord", firearms need to be matched with the corresponding units to be effective.

If there is no special unit such as the artilleryman, then the red-clothed cannon that Mingguan gets is just a pile of broken metal.

At the same time, Mingguan also did not have military talismans and corresponding blueprints for buildings and firearms, so this batch of red-clothed cannons and artillerymen were more like consumables. They were killed and could not be recruited.

This is also the first time that bronze artillery has appeared in "Lord", which is basically the most advanced firearm in "Lord"!

The tribal leaders such as Murong Ba, Murong Ke, Murong Ling, Yuwentai, and Tadun couldn't help but widen their eyes. They had never seen such a strange weapon before.

"Although it is enough to replace cold weapons and cannot achieve absolute suppression, it is enough to deter Xia Jun."

Mingguan used cavalry to capture the artillery positions of the Qing army, indicating that in the period when cold weapons and firearms coexisted, the deterrent effect of bronze artillery was greater than the killing effect, so he was not completely relieved.

"Unfortunately, it's just a trophy. I want to see how Chu Zimou dealt with the red-clothed cannon. He participated in the battle of Kunyang, and I don't know if he brought back any cards..."

There are also scouts in Mingguan who are inquiring about Chutian, knowing that Chutian is involved in the battle of Kunyang.
