Chapter 59 Fierce War

"My lord? Do you want to avoid it?"

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment and asked.

A stone the size of a human head flew over and landed not far from Qin Yuan and the others.

As acquired masters, they are naturally not afraid of these ordinary rocks. Even if they come flying towards them, they are sure to smash them or dodge them without risking their lives.

But Qin Yuan was the master, they had to protect Qin Yuan's safety, even if Qin Yuan suffered a little, it was the fault of the subordinates.

"It's okay."

Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and standing beside him were Bai Qi, Qin Yi, and Qin Shan, all of whom were acquired masters, whether it was boulders or bows and arrows, the possibility of hurting him was extremely slim.

He looked at the catapults that were being filled with stones, and the siege vehicles that were advancing under the heavy protection of heavy cavalry.

"Let them see what a real war monster is."

Qin Yuan showed disdain at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.

"understand!"

Bai Qi said hastily, and then went off in person, manipulating a catapult that was ten meters high and covered an area of ​​tens of square meters.

These monster-like catapults are not one, not two, but a whole hundred, lined up inside the city wall.

Boom boom boom!
Following Bai Qi's operation, the catapult he was in quickly flew out seven or eight stones. The length and width of the stones were two to three meters, dozens of times larger than the stones thrown by the Northern Qiang army.

However, these huge stones jumped directly over the city wall of more than 20 meters, and flew towards the Northern Qiang army outside the city.

"Come again!"

Bai Qi laughed excitedly, under the catapult, a small loading machine quickly moved ten boulders and loaded them into the catapult at a very fast speed.

Boom boom boom!
Bai Qi threw it out of the city again, and the surrounding war beasts also started to mobilize. In an instant, countless boulders flew out of the city.

Bang bang bang!
All of a sudden, hundreds of boulders fell from the sky like meteorites and fell to the ground. Countless heavy cavalrymen and their horses were smashed into a pulp.

Immediately, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the scene was very tragic.

At this moment, the Northern Qiang army became very chaotic in an instant. Countless Northern Qiang cavalry stopped attacking, and some even stood there blankly.

Although there were many deaths caused by the crossbows of the Qilin Legion before, the soldiers who had been on the battlefield were commonplace and continued to attack.

But the shock caused by the catapult made people fearful. Looking at the living comrades in arms, they turned into a piece of meat in a blink of an eye, and the armor and blood were mixed with the horses, which made many people feel fear in their hearts.

Will he become one of them, leaving no bones left?

Horrific destructive power, severe visual impact, and tragic casualties caused the morale of the attacking side to drop again and again, and even many soldiers felt the desire to retreat.

An emotion called fear quickly spread in the army like a plague.

"Attack, retreat, die!"

Ma Qingbiao said sharply.

Immediately, a row of War Supervisors armed with knives and axes stood up, and many soldiers who fled from the battlefield were cut in half in an instant.

"Cavalrymen, shoot!"

Ma Zhenhui personally led the army of cavalry archers, broke away from the camp, and headed towards the city gate.

Their crossbows can only shoot a distance of more than 200 meters, and they still shoot from the bottom up. Compared with the Qilin Legion, they are several grades behind.

However, they had no choice but to do so. The heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the siege machines recruited were smashed into pieces of wood by countless boulders.

"Ma Qingbiao, if the fight continues like this, even if we take everyone in, we won't be able to take down this city."

A tribal leader was dissatisfied that most of the heavy cavalry just now were the warriors of his tribe, who spent countless resources to cultivate them, but in less than a quarter of an hour, most of them were lost.

Moreover, they are still suffering from the double blow of arrow rain and boulders, even if they order to retreat at this time, there will be no one in ten.

"All losses shall be borne by this tribe."

Ma Qingbiao was furious, but he had no choice but to suppress it, and even appease these tribal leaders.

Otherwise, once they retreat, he won't be able to take down Mingwu City.

"The enemy is really tenacious."

Bai Qi, who had had enough of playing with the catapult, handed over the war giants to the skilled chariot soldiers, and returned to the city wall to watch the battle.

"After all, they are Northern Qiang people. Everyone is a warrior, and they are all elites."

Qin Yuan said with a smile, "How do you feel after using these catapults?"

"It's pretty good. The operation is very simple. It's like crushing a catapult. Especially, the visual effect is perfect."

Bai Qi commented, looking down.

Huge stones fell like a group of meteorites, and the living people and horses were smashed to pieces.

"However, it is better to use it to attack the city. I don't know how long it will take to knock down a city wall."

Bai Qi said again.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly. The biggest function of the giant catapult is not to kill the enemy, but to attack the city. No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the bombing of the catapult.

"there will be chances in the future."

Qin Yuan believed himself, looking at the battlefield, dozens or even hundreds of people died every second.

However, the war is so cruel, if they lose to the Northern Qiang people, when the enemy enters the city, then the city will be devastated.

"My lord, why bother playing with them, just kill them and chop up these beasts."

Not long after Bai Qi stopped, he couldn't bear to say again.

Especially watching the Northern Qiang people under the city continue to die in battle, a burst of heartache.

It's not that I feel sorry for the heavy deaths of the Northern Qiang people, but that these people did not die at the hands of him and the God-killing Army, so they couldn't accumulate murderous aura for him.

Although the enemy is the elite Northern Qiang cavalry, their eight major legions are not weak at all, especially after this month, all the troops have changed their appearance and their strength has greatly increased.

Coupled with the godly armor provided by Qin Yuan, even in the face of the Northern Qiang people, it is completely worthwhile, with absolute combat power, crushing the enemy.

"We can't let them despair, but give them hope, so that they will attack the city at all costs. Otherwise, the Northern Qiang people will give up attacking the city directly. It will be very difficult for us to destroy them."

On the side, Zhu Gemo said slowly.

"The Beiqiang army has more than [-] people. If it is a frontal battle, regardless of casualties, once the Beiqiang army realizes that it is invincible, it will inevitably retreat and annihilate at most [-] to [-] people. Each enemy soldier has a war horse. If he wants to escape, We can't catch up at all. Enemies who escape will eventually come back, so why not take advantage of the enemy's intention to capture Mingwu City and annihilate them all."

After Zhuge Mo finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan nodded in agreement. The Northern Qiang is the enemy after all. If they are not wiped out, they will hide in Beilin City, return to Wuwei City, or even escape to the northern prairie.

At that time, it will be the home of the Northern Qiang people. If Qin Yuan's army wants to attack the city, it will have to pay a big price.

Mingwu City is like a bottomless quagmire, the more the enemy struggles, the deeper they will sink, and by the time they are injured, see through everything, and want to get out, it is too late.

"Ok."

Bai Qi also knew that this was the best strategy and gave the enemy hope to break through the city, so the Northern Qiang people would attack the city regardless of all casualties.

Even in the face of the rain of arrows and the bombardment of boulders, not only did they not back down at all, but even more troops were invested.

As for the casualties of our own side, except for a few dozens of people who were killed by boulders, they were almost negligible.

The siege army invested by the enemy has reached more than 5, with more than [-] casualties.

"Ma Qingbiao, if you capture Mingwu City this time, the leader will not be held accountable. If you fail to capture Mingwu City, not only you and I will suspend cooperation, but we will also ask the king for instructions to punish you."

Another tribal leader said with a very gloomy face when he saw that more than half of the soldiers he brought were dead.

Nearly half of the more than [-] troops were invested, and more than [-]% of them were reinforcements from various tribes.

"Zhenxiong, lead the [-] warriors of this tribe and attack the city gate directly!"

Ma Qingbiao was expressionless. After a long time, he looked at the other son and said.

"Yes, father."

Ma Zhenxiong lifted his spirits and glanced at the time. It was less than a quarter of an hour before the planned opening of the city gate.

They had to charge at this moment. If there were no accidents, when they rushed under the city wall, it happened to be the time when the city gate was wide open.

As for whether the plan is thorough and smooth, he can only hope that the people in the city can proceed smoothly.

This plan has been planned for a whole month. Even if wars broke out many times before, the hidden people and the power of buying and selling in the city were not used.

Now, it's make or break.

As long as the city gate is opened, they can cross the Mingwu city wall and the iron wall that has blocked them for a whole month.

In the frontal battle, the Northern Qiang people are very confident. Even the elite army of the Lie Han Dynasty cannot be their opponent, let alone an army in a small county.

"Kill with me!"

Ma Zhenxiong gave orders, took the lead, and led his troops to charge away.

In front, Northern Qiang archers also came to the city and launched a counterattack, causing many casualties to the defenders in the city, and the pressure they faced was much less.

"Everyone, it was just a false attack before, and the next one is the real main attack. After the city gate is opened, rush in with me."

Ma Qingbiao said to the tribal leaders beside him.

Before, whether it was catapults, siege vehicles, or heavy cavalry archers, they all created pressure for the city defenders, created some chaos, and allowed the dark people in the city to fight for opportunities to act.
