In the evening, August 9th.
Great Xia 200,000 Imperial Guard Cavalry, appeared in Great Zhou King Dynasty Capital Province frontier, causing uproar.
The battle of Great Jin is the prelude to the entire Central Plains War, the pinnacle of the Huaxia Struggle for Dominion war, and the key battle to determine Huaxia Overlord, which has attracted attention from all sides.
Not only Huaxia Region player(s), the global player(s) is watching this War.
During the Great Jin Dynasty, Great Xia and Six Nation Alliance competitions, player(s) staged a wonderful epic War. As of August 8, Six Nation Alliance, headed by Great Zhou, still has the upper hand.
Capital is still standing, but Great Jin is about to die.
Silver Hand is of course Encouragement. Cheers for this hard-won victory. Even Azure Insignia quietly breathes a sigh of relief. hope Great Xia is really Unified Huaxia.
But in just one day, the war situation is dramatic change, which is dazzling.
The panicked Di Chen prepared frontier for war, while ordering Wu Qi and returning to the rescue department, while trying other ideas, to see if we could find any reinforcements and defend Handan City.
This night, Handan is sleepless.
…………
The next morning, Great Xia Imperial Army with nourishment and energy formally entered Great Zhou.
The first attack target was the Great Zhou — — Pingshan City located in frontier's provisions relay station, and the provisions materials shipped by Great Zhou to the front line were basically transferred in the city, which is the total logistics base of the Great Zhou army.
Since it is the logistics base, it is naturally impossible to leave without troops.
In fact, even when the frontline battle was stalemate, Pingshan City was stationed at 50,000 main forces, and now it has a full one corps force, guarding Pingshan City.
Great Xia Imperial Army is a single Cavalry. Can it break through this city?
At least the Great Zhou military defender will consider it impossible.
Although Pingshan City is not a big city, there is no moat. Fortunately, there are five meter high city wall, Great Xia Imperial Army without Infantry and two without Siege Equipment.
Even if Great Xia Imperial Army wants to emulate the white terrifying psychological warfare of Mongolia Cavalry, it is too hasty.
Speaking badly, Pingshan City has provisions with more than 80% of Great Zhou troops. The security of the city is directly related to the success or failure of the Great Jin battle.
Even if Great Xia Imperial Army slaughters the people around Village, Pingshan City cannot surrender actively.
Di Chen is panic, not afraid that Pingshan City can't keep it, but that Great Xia Imperial Army bypasses Pingshan City directly, kills Capital Province hinterland, and goes straight to Handan City.
In that case, the Pingshan City garrison will not dare to intercept the city. If it is not good, it will be on the set.
But Great Xia Imperial Army's next move once again subverted the judgment of Di Chen and others, and it was also unknown. In the early morning, Great Xia Imperial Army surrounded Pingshan City on the north, south and west sides, leaving a living road on the east side alone.
"Why, really want siege, isn't you too confident?"
The Pingshan City defender is standing on the city's head, looking at the Great Xia Imperial Army with the outside the city's heyday. within heart raises a little anxiety for the first time. Great Xia Imperial Army is not a fool.
"Is there any secret weapon?"
He really guessed it.
After outside the city arrange the formation of Great Xia Imperial Army, there is movement behind each Corps. Arranged behind the regular Cavalry is the Iron-plated Beast Cavalry Brigade of Corps direct subordinate.
The Iron-plated Beast base of Qiongzhou has long been on the right track and formed a large scale. As the entire army Trump Card, Imperial Guard Army is naturally the first Collective Army equipped with Iron-plated Beast Cavalry Brigade in the entire army.
This is done for two purposes.
The first is to invest in the key military campaign as a super Heavy Cavalry.
The second is the Supply Train transport team as an army.
Compared to warhorse, Iron-plated Beast may be a little worse in endurance, but on Load Weight, it is definitely a street away from warhorse. With its tall body, it can even come up with some Large-scale equipment.
Imperial Guard Army's secret weapon attack on Pingshan City was carried by the brigade.
Under the conductor of the Engineering soldiers, the Soldiers removed the strangely shaped parts from each head Iron-plated Beast, and then combined them into a Giant-scale bed crossbow at the speed visible to the naked eye in the hands of five Artisan.
It is Giant-scale, but it is not exaggerated at all.
three bow bed crossbow is the largest in crossbow mechanism, but the Giant-scale bed crossbow is actually three times as large as three bow bed crossbow. How can it not be dumbfounded.
More cleverly, under the study of Mohist School of Thought, this set of equipment can be broken down into hundreds of parts. After disassembly, convenient transportation can be achieved with Iron-plated Beast.
Only beasts like Iron-plated Beast can move for a long time. You know, in order to increase the explosive power of this bed crossbow, more than half of the components are made of steel instead of the conventional lumber.
Because it is too benzene heavy, each Corps only carries one.
Soon, the assembled Giant-scale bed crossbow was pushed to the front and aimed at three city gate.
"What kind of monster is that?"
Whether the city head Great Zhou army has seen such a huge crossbow mechanism, they ca n’t help pointing, although they ca n’t judge the lethality of the crossbow mechanism, but the thick crossbow of that arm is enough to numb the human head|number of people skin. .
The Officers are calm, and scolded, "What are you afraid of, even if the thing is so powerful, there is only one, can it still shoot through city wall? Really, the daylily is cold."
Soldier listened, they felt right.
Indeed, which siege is not hundreds or thousands of Siege Equipments. I have never heard that one city can be won by just one weird bed crossbow.
That's right.
But is it really that simple?
Just in the air of the garrison in the city, Giant-scale bed crossbow has been pushed under the cover of Cavalry to a distance of city gate 600 meters, and then stopped.
This distance, apart from Archer Shooting, is hardly a threat to Imperial Guard Army.
As Trump Card armed forces, the Light Cavalry in Great Xia Imperial Army is equipped with a shield. With a swipe of overhead, the scattered arrows shot from the city head are like itching and it is difficult to make it work.
Between speaking, Giant-scale bed crossbow is already in place.
"Aiming at Approve!"
Compared with three bow bed crossbow, Giant-scale bed crossbow's aiming System has also been greatly improved. Under the experience's rich operator conductor, the accuracy can be controlled within one meter.
This is very powerful and can be used for precision strikes.
"Launch!"
With the order, the crossbow mechanism rumbling turned and made a roar. It turned out that in order to obtain sufficient kinetic energy, its transmission was equipped with a Small-scale Steam Engine.
Following, just listen to the "嗖", the sharp arrow of the arm broke through the air, draw an arc in the air, hit the city gate exactly like a missile, and then drill into a wooden city gate like a drill. Show only half.
Even if Pingshan City is not a big city, city gate is made of giant wood. It is 35 centimeters thick. It is also covered with one layer iron sheet. Even if siege cone is used, it is difficult to be destroyed.
This Giant-scale bed crossbow is so good. The mounted crossbow easily drilled through the iron skin outside, into the gate, and almost completely penetrated the gate.
"This ..."
The city head guards met, stunned.
Just as the city gate garrison fought, Imperial Guard Army's front row Cavalry moved. The middle Cavalry held a long iron chain in his hand, dragged it to the ground, and rushed towards city gate under the cover of his companions.
Under the feet of Cavalry, the iron chain disks are in a lot, half a person tall, at least 500 meter long.
The other end of the chain is connected with a balance device, similar to the carriage sleeve, but longer than the ordinary sleeve, which can hold eight warhorse.
"Hurry up, stop them!"
The city gate defender met. Although I didn't know what enemy army intended, I still felt threatened instinctively and ordered the Cavalry rushed up to be killed.
For a time, arrow rain fell.
Under the intensive arrow rain blow, the powerful ones such as Great Xia Imperial Army couldn't carry it, and soon there were casualties. Cavalry was shot down, and I saw it was dead.
Imperial Guard Army is also fierce. Regardless of it, it rushes towards city gate.
arrow rain is getting denser, densely packed, almost no gaps can be seen, the surrounding companions keep falling, and the Cavalry with the iron chain in the middle remains unchanged, just staring at the city gate in front, staring at the arrow drilled into city gate Ya.
They are getting closer to city gate.
Wait until Cavalry is only five meters away from city gate, and a lot of stones roll down from the city. Under the action of gravity, huge stones are whizzing into wind, and they will be finished when they hit Cavalry.
The unlucky ones were even smashed into meat sauce, and even the warhorse under him was also suffered.
In addition to the stones, there is hot oil pouring down. Even if Cavalry is protected by armor, warhorse can't stand this. Once it is stained with hot oil, it will immediately startle and jump.
Fortunately, all the Great Xia Imperial Army dispatches are all Heavy Cavalry. Not only Cavalry is full body armor, but even warhorse is covered with Defense Tool. Only a few skins are exposed.
Otherwise, they won't be close to city gate at all.
A little closer, and they are greeted by a huge, unreasonable log, which can sweep a large area with the log, and Cavalry becomes more and more difficult, and the casualties continue to expand.
"dismount!"
True to the feet of city gate, warhorse has become a burden.
With the order of Captain, the surviving dozens of Cavalry simultaneously held the reins, warhorse hissed, uneasily planing the underground loess and rolling up the dust.
After dismount, everyone quickly gathered together, put Shield on the shoulders, spliced them together, lowered their heads low, and exhausted their whole body strength to resist the impact of rolling wood and stones on Shield.
Hot hot oil dripped from the gap of Shield, dripping on their heads and faces.
Imperial Guard Army is indeed a real man. At the critical moment, he showed an awesome Heroic Spirit. Then the hot oil poured down, and various sizes blisters immediately appeared on his face.
But they didn't hum, didn't hum, and frowned, and endured severe pain. They moved uniformly to city gate. After walking the last two meters, it was also the most difficult and the most Dangerous two meters.
It is only a short walk to city gate.
"Cover!"
Captain said as he dragged the chain, and walked to the crossbow that drilled into city gate.
