Power and Empire Chapter 2889: Mad Blood (1)
Yanzhou with dense war clouds
The familiar roar of Thor shook the sky. Several Thor bullets with long black smoke tails slammed on the fortress wall. The red light ball illuminates the faces of more than 100,000 people on both sides of the war. You can see Some people were rushed down from the city wall by air waves and flames. Wherever they were burning, some people were beating methodically, and then immediately rows of sand piled up to block the gap.
After half a month of brutal battle, from the initial panic to the adaptation, the Long Family Western Army has responded to Thor. The exploded mouth is covered with earth, the scattered sparks are covered with earth, and the wounded The people dragged down immediately. Thor shoots once, and it takes at least half a minute to reload. Although Thor is powerful, the small number is its biggest shortcoming. Facing the ten-mile-long city wall defense line of Shangjing, the only effect that Thor can achieve Minimal
The prairie people used to use the tactics of Thor to attack the city gates, which is almost ineffective for Shangjing, the first city of the Chinese and Bian Empire. The Shangjing gates are entirely made of heavy cast iron, and the thickness is extremely terrible. The width, thirty centimeters of pure iron plate, not to mention the magic weapon siege hammer that the prairie people believed to be able to break the door, or the sharp weapon of the Western Continent brought by the Yelu family, they all just hit the effect of a white dot on it, Thor The sparks that exploded on it didn’t even burn off a piece of rust.
This is what Long Yang prepared for the Yelv family. The strongest line of defense in this era, bringing together the masters of various measures in the defense war between China and Bahrain for thousands of years
On the walls of the city, there are not only shooting towers built with wooden structures, but also cross-covered catapults. There are storage platforms for stacking various materials for the city. The city wall is ten centimeters from ten meters above. With square stabbing muzzles, the guards can use stabbing guns to stab the enemies who are climbing the city wall to death. They can also put their bows and arrows directly on the ten-centimeter hole towards the outside siege cluster. It was shot out, safe and horrible. Such a stabbing muzzle was like a honeycomb on the wall of the capital. Under the wall, a deep trench up to three meters deep was dug eight times, layer by layer. The wooden horse is arranged between the trenches, and the tip of the iron-clad wooden tip, under the sun, the cold light of the metal makes the scalp numb
Don't say that the cavalry group of the steppe people feel distressed, even the infantry are a little at a loss,
How can I fight this! Each of these horses is very heavy, at least over a hundred catties, like layers of screens arranged between the trenches. Anyone who wants to pass through the trenches must remove these horses. This is very important for filling in these. The difficulty of the increase in the trenches is not a little bit. If you face the various messy long-range killers shot on the wall, I am afraid that every trench will have to fill in at least thousands of new forces. Eight trenches, should it be counted? Only when thousands of people fill in will they have a chance to touch the city wall in Shangjing, Yanzhou, the most majestic city in the north of Central Bialand?
This is not a joke,
Whether it’s the current Central-Bahia Empire or the previous rulers, they have invested a large amount of manpower and material resources for this northern defensive core city, only hoping to use this as a barrier to stop the steppe south. The human horseshoe protects the flourishing prosperity south of the barrier, the accumulation of hundreds of years, the perfection and innovation of the guards of the past generations, and the key reinforcement of Longyang, the first general of China and Biya.
The entire Shangjing is basically a monster with a big mouth that devours flesh and blood, waiting for the grassland army of Yelu's family to bump into it,
Shooting to Beijing in one breath, the grassland army did not dare to move.
The leader of the grassland tribe surrounded Yeluhongtai, looking at Yanzhou Shangjing in front of him with a bit of bitter expression. He didn't know how many times he had scolded the despicable and shameless builders of Zhongbia. Damn, what's the matter hiding behind such a perverted city wall!
Yelü Hongtai also stared at the city ahead with complicated eyes, and the hand holding the whip was already unconsciously a little pale because of excessive force.
The prairie people’s teams of skirmishers gathered in Yanzhou Shangjing. The end of the field of vision was all white prairie felts with prairie flags. In the center of the huge barracks of the prairie people, one The Sulu spear with a five-meter handle is erected high, and the Gulam flag made of colorful wool flutters in the wind on the spear.
"Ready!"
The messengers who are ready to attack are densely packed, galloping between the formations, the grassland Thousands of Swordsmen are like chicken blood, pulling out their machetes and shouting at the soldiers
"Break the capital!"
Countless spears and scimitars are raised high, under the sun, like frost and snow covering the earth, the voices of the warriors of the steppe spread to all sides, shaking the sky, this is a nation's suppressed cry for thousands of years, every one A grassland man, since he can pick up a bow and arrow, his elders will tell him that in the far south, there are a group of cowardly Zhongbian people. Those Zhongbian people are sheep. They only dare to hide in the sheep pen, while our grassland people are Wolves, these sheep are born to be ruled by their descendants, so as long as their sheep pens are broken, the wolf's descendants can do whatever they want. Among all the sheep pens, Yanzhou Shangjing is undoubtedly ranked first, and it is also hated by the prairie people. The existence of gnashing teeth, without this barrier to Beijing, how could the people of the prairie stay in the bitter cold land where the wind bursts, generation after generation, like weeds, grow wild and die, and the south is prosperous and beautiful, How come these cowardly Chinese people belonged to them?
After finally arriving in Yanzhou and going to Beijing, is it just looking at it like this? As a descendant of wolves, even if it is steel, you have to pounce on it and take a bite!
With more than one hundred thousand Yelu army, gradually gathered to Shangjing
The prairie patriarchs also began to have great confidence in their hearts. At this moment, the huge Shangjing city wall is not much better than the sand table that can be pushed down in the eyes of the tribe leaders. Shangjing is not the first. This time, I’ve learned it the last time. How can I not know the terrible defense of this place, but in a solid defense line, we also need talents. Although the Long Family West Army is strong, the continuous fierce battle is always inevitable. Seven Fighting down seven or eighty-eight, there are still 30,000 in the capital city, even if it’s great, and our grassland army has 13 to 40,000.
With such a huge disparity in military strength, what effect can Beijing no matter how strong it is!
"Go forward, take down the capital!" The old cunning Yelu Hongtai narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand slightly towards the Yelu army, which was in a state of explosive morale, and the attack line composed of more than 100,000 grassland troops began. Pounced towards Shangjing, the eyes of the people who held up the spears like wolves flashed coldly could not open, and the mountains shook with shouts, cavalry, infantry, siege towers, sea-like siege ladders, densely packed, densely ordered. The human scalp was numb, and the location of the first trench was immediately overwhelmed by countless crowds. Arrows hit the wall like a rain. The prairie people were as dense as ants climbing on a huge sugar cube, holding this kind of stuff in their hands. Large and small shields, regardless of life or death, rush toward the front
"Ahhhhh"
In the place where the arrow rain fell, the prairie troops that hit the forefront fell and rolled, but countless soil packs fell into the trenches with the horses being crowded. "Change arrows!" On the wall of the capital, west Teams of army archers changed their ranks, facing so many prairie people, the western army archers on the wall of the capital were also crazy
Shooting, changing lanes, shooting, changing lanes, shooting again, gasping for breath, and simply gave up aiming, no need to follow neat orders, just know that an arrow is shot, back, and immediately take the fastest Drew the bowstring at the speed of, and then stood out and shot again at the crowded grassland people in front of the trench below. There was a painful muffled sound of an arrow immediately below,
"Quickly, speeding up, I have been eaten! Three hundred meters ahead! Give me a smash! Let me break a piece first."
On the catapult on the city wall, the huge long-arm catapult purchased from the Falcon Empire started to tighten the winch, watching the crazy archers on the city wall desperately covering the west next to the sling. The commander of the army was obviously anxious and extremely corrupt, wishing to kick directly on the sling in front of him,
This super-large catapult bought from the Western Continent is completely different from the catapult in the Central-Belarus region. It has a long range and great power, but it is too slow to pull.
In the Central and Biya region, catapults are not considered to be heavy killers. Most of them are only three meters in length, with wooden wheels underneath. They are heavy and mainly rely on throwing various gravel to form damage. The main function is not useful. To deal with the stone wall, but to attack the camp, because the wars between China and Biyah since ancient times, most of the tug-of-wars around various strong walls, the main siege forces used are still all kinds of large-scale siege weapons. For example, there are more cloud carts and siege towers. Compared with them, catapults that only throw gravel are not valued because of their short range and insufficient lethality.
But the catapults in the West Continent are completely different.
The slings of the Western Continent are not only army weapons, but also the main weapons of the naval fleet. Therefore, they are more practical and expanded. Countries also spend money on research and improvement, and their development is also moving towards a tall trend, especially with hunting. The Eagle Empire Incendiary weapon is the ultimate weapon. The Empire spares no expense in slingshots. The slingshots are truly used as a deterrent and big killer. They have entered the scope of military heavy weapons. Over the years, they have undergone several improvements. The various demonized changes made by the various legions in order to adapt to combat, not only did the imperial catapults have developed to a frightening level, but even more detailed classifications appeared
Long Yang saw the Emperor’s sling in the Falcon Empire, and was immediately attracted by this huge weapon. The Empire had strict control over Thor’s takeout, and the price was astonishing, but for slings, There is no limit, the price can even be said to be good and cheap. The sling needed by the sling can also be made on the spot, and the maximum range is the distance that shocked Long Yang to the chin drop, 500 meters,
This is definitely an ultra-ultra-long-distance existence in Zhongbia. The range of the Zhongbia bow is about 80 meters, and the farthest catapult is only 200 meters. I found this kind of thing at once, how about Longyang? Not tempted, I bought sixty large slings from the Empire in one breath, all of which were set up on the walls of Shangjing, Yanzhou
This kind of sling monster of the Empire brand, which is specially improved in accordance with the requirements of the Long family, is only 15 meters long with its parabolic arm. It can throw nearly one thousand catties at a time. It is not only used to throw huge boulders and half All teams are crushing the city’s minced meat, and they can also switch shots and install various debris and stones to form a cluster to kill, because it uses the advanced mechanical lever technology of the Falcon Empire, which is like a giant's imperial sling. In operation, from the lever to the loading, to the launch, only twenty people can complete all the work, and it can be launched once a minute.
The soldiers of the Long Family West Army struggled to use the lever to pull down the long arms of the large slings. Several soldiers were hurriedly pushing the huge stones into the basket. With a huge roar, all the soldiers snapped. Squatting down, the harsh tearing sound pressed against the eardrum is uncomfortable. It is the sound of the air being squeezed. Is there any time to get down? There is a sound in the ears.
I saw above the catapult, a beautiful parabola rose up into the sky, and then at the very end, it began to smash down quickly, booming! When the boulder slammed on the ground, I saw an impact visible to the naked eye spreading around. The people who were hit directly were almost gone, and the dense grassland people blocking the rolling stone were even more bloody. Flying horizontally, before the screams were fully uttered, he was plunged into the queue behind by a round sling like a meteor, his brain splashing. △↗,. The minced meat flew horizontally, and under the rolling boulder was a **** minced meat residue. A **** raceway was formed in one stroke, and the surrounding grassland people spread out with a bang
If you look at the Yanzhou city wall~IndoMTL.com~ It's just the feeling of a small stone hitting the lake. The fight of more than 100,000 people is the most terrifying shock between the world and the earth, dense as raindrops. The huge boulders and arrows hit the sea of people violently for countless times, like the waves crashing on the hard rock wall, turning into splashes of scary red, the sound of "pupupupu" sharp weapon piercing the body and bone fragmentation One after another in the rain,
The warm sun in spring must be comfortable if it is in other places, but the warm sun that falls on Yanzhou at the moment is already covered by the arrow clusters shot back and forth by the archers from both sides. The grassland army has more than ten Wan Dajun stormed Yanzhou and Shangjing. The fierce battle lasted from morning to afternoon. The two sides almost tried their best to go to the capital and go down to the sea of blood and blood on the ground.
The land that should have been dry and hard at this moment is also full of mud and blood flowing in a low-lying land, layer after layer of corpses piled up into hills, and blood gurgling into small rivers, the prairie people are powerful The nerves are vividly manifested here. As long as the arrow is not dead, it will be carried forward by the crowd. In one morning, one third of the arrow clusters of the Yanzhou garrison were thrown out, and millions of arrow clusters were filled. After the ground, it still can’t stop the Grassland Army from filling in the four trenches
