Lord of the People of Online Games
Chapter 835: King Ming's winning card
In Liaoxi County, Liaozhucheng, Xia Jun reached the peak of its offensive. Generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchigong even participated in the siege and climbed with shields.
In order to capture Guzhu City as soon as possible and put pressure on the Ming army, the Xia army has lost 70,000 soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary soldiers.
The fifteen-meter-high wall of Lone Bamboo City is like a moat that needs to be filled with human lives.
In order to fill in the moats and trenches outside the Guzhu City and destroy the arrow tower, the Xia Army delayed a lot of time.
Not only that, the 15-meter-high city wall requires the height of the siege tower to be more than 20 meters.
Inside the outer city of Guzhu City, there is also an inner city wall, which is fortified layer by layer, without dripping water.
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. Therefore, no matter fortifications, or food and weapons, everything is sufficient.
Sun Chuanting defended the city while recruiting soldiers, mobilizing the residents of the city to assist in defending the city, which made it more difficult for the Xia army to attack the city.
Boom!
Boom——!
Dozens of boulders fell, and with a loud noise that could be heard clearly in a few miles, a section of the outer city wall to the west of Lone Bamboo City finally could not withstand the high-intensity bombardment of the Xiangyang Cannon and eventually collapsed!
When building the fortress at Mingguan, the city wall pursued the height of the Middle Ages and ignored the thickness, so Lonely Bamboo City was not without flaws.
"kill!!"
Chutian sent to assist Geng Yan in attacking the fortress, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, two fierce generals, led the Xuan Jia army, and drove into the Lone Bamboo City along the gap!
The outer city of Lone Bamboo City, at the moment when the western wall collapsed, Sun Chuanting knew that he could not effectively defend the outer wall, so he set up a strong crossbow.
Weichigong and Cheng Yaojin’s Xuanjia army invaded the outer city and was aimed at by a few bed crossbows and hundreds of divine arm bows. They were shocked, but they knew that there was no way to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and initiate a charge!
Dozens of profound armored cavalry were shot and killed by bed crossbows and **** arm bows, while Cheng Yaojin swung a large axe and knocked off a thick crossbow arrow, the axe body was shaking violently.
The bed crossbow is no longer relying on arm strength, but on torque.
The archers from the outer city fought and retreated. They were trampled by the Xuanjia army at any cost, killing hundreds of people, and finally retreated to the inner city with Sun Chuanting.
The outer city was breached, and it will take some time for the Xia army to occupy the outer city.
In addition to the outer city, Guzhu City also has an inner city and an inner city wall.
With the inner city walls, Sun Chuanting is confident to hold on for a longer period of time and continue to defeat Xia Jun’s soldiers.
Because of Sun Chuanting's stubborn resistance, it did cause considerable casualties to the Xia Jun’s siege troops.
The morale of the Xia Army also declined slightly because of the long-term inability to attack Lone Bamboo City.
Weichigong and Cheng Yaojin's Xuanjia army pursued all the way to the gate of the inner city, and was shot back by a bed crossbow.
"Why is there a wall? Almost killed by a crossbow."
Cheng bites the golden robbery for the rest of his life, can't help but rejoice.
"Take 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 there was an inner city in the Guzhu city, and there was also a moat outside the inner city, which was deeply troublesome.
Tens of thousands of siege troops immediately demolished the houses in the outer city to obtain wood and stones.
Almost the entire outer city was razed to the ground.
Large trebuchets cannot cause 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 and confronted Mingguan.
He and Mingguan, almost at the same time, saw the smoke billowing in the city of Lone Bamboo, and probably knew that the siege party had finally breached the outer city.
As long as the inner city is captured again, most of it can capture Sun Chuanting alive, and occupy the city, relieve the threat of Guzhu City to Youzhou, and open the way to Liaodong City.
"If only the inner city of Lone Bamboo City is left, Mingguan will be eager to fight us to the death to avoid the true fall of Lone Bamboo City."
Chutian saw that Gu Zhucheng had finally opened a breakthrough, and couldn't help but shook his head.
If the opponent is decisively fighting with him in the wild, it will be simply neat.
Generally speaking, each commander avoids falling into difficult offensive and defensive battles, but pursues quick victory in the field. 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 army of the Zhao State, encircle and destroy it.
In a final battle, Han Xin also managed to coax King Zhao out of the decisive battle.
The offensive and defensive battle was the most tragic battle. Basically, the two sides could only increase their troops continuously, and then died under the strong city wall.
Especially for the siege party, the offensive and defensive battle is more painful.
"If you win this battle, you should be 90% sure of unifying the Han Empire?"
Ekaterina calmly looked at the fierce battlefield of Liaoxi.
The focus of the Liaoxi battlefield is in Guzhucheng. The Xia army lost more than 100,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.
Chutian has rarely suffered such losses. Although among the auxiliary soldiers, most of them are probably civilians who push the sand to fill the moat.
"I dare not say 90%. There are many kings who unified the north and then overturned."
The only things that Chutian knows are Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, Fu Jian in the Battle of Feishui (former Qin), Yuanying in the Battle of Zhongli (Northern Wei Dynasty), and Wan Yanliang in the Battle of Caishiji (Jin Guo).
At present, the Tongque has the largest navy in the Han Empire. The navy of Chutian is just a partial division that is restocked. For Tongque, the navy is the main force.
At the same time, even though Chu Tian had a conspiracy with Sun Jian, he wanted to win the Dongwu Sun family and pave the way for the future flattening of the Southeast.
But Sun Jian may not be completely reliable. After all, Sun Jian and Tongque are righteous brothers, and they may turn their faces on Chu Tian at any time.
Chutian is not easy to figure out what kind of character Sun Jian in "Lord" is. 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 by me and Hohenzollern by one third, and the Swedish lion Gustav II also wants to divide the territory from them. , He covets the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and the situation is quite troublesome. Because of your relationship, my empire may be attacked on three sides by the Kingdom of Sweden, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Kingdom of Macedonia..."
Ekaterina inadvertently mentioned the situation in the western continent.
Because the leader of the Hungarian Empire, Attila, fell in battle, after the fall of the Hungarian Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Macedonia rose and expanded their territories, and they were about to border the Russian Empire.
Coupled with the pressure brought by the Nordic lion Gustav II, it can be said that Ekaterina's life is not easy, which is equivalent to one empire to carry one empire, plus the pressure of two kingdoms.
"The Tsarist Empire was in conflict with them, so even if I did not intervene, they would not let Tsarist Russia go."
Chutian rolled his eyes.
The conflict between the Czarist Russian Empire and other European civilizations is not yet the turn of the relationship between Chutian and Ekaterina.
"There is no shortage of ambitions in the Western Continent. It is just because of overly balanced power and complicated beliefs, ethnicity, culture, and language issues, there is no Western Qin Shihuang. Many people have tried to unify the Western Continent, but they undoubtedly fell short. , Charlemagne, Napoleon, etc."
Ekaterina unknowingly mentions the history of the western continent.
"What is Alexander doing recently?"
"Besiege the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul."
"He is doing something incredible. The Ottoman Empire seems to be a bit unlucky. Their capital is just between the eastern and western continents, and is adjacent to the Thrace region controlled by the Kingdom of Macedonia. In other words, Alexander is in Thrace. As he gathers his forces, he will be able to approach the city within a few days. The Turks don’t know if there is time to respond."
Chutian mourned for a few seconds for the Ottoman Empire.
Since the Ottoman Empire was accidentally killed by Huo Qubing in the national war, the nation’s fortunes fell into a slump. First, it fell into civil strife. The Yenicheri Army of the Turkish Guards took the opportunity to intervene in the selection of Sudanese candidates and put the son of Queen Xu Lemu on the top. The Sultan of Lem was listening to politics.
In the fourth national war, the Ottoman Empire failed to stand and colluded with Attila and attacked the Thrace region of the Kingdom of Macedonia. Alexander hated it.
After Alexander annexed part of the Hungarian Empire in the Ukrainian prairie, he immediately retaliated against Sultan Xu Leim and besieged the city of Istanbul on the border of the Kingdom of Macedonia.
The geographical location occupied by the Kingdom of Macedonia is also very advantageous and can expand to 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 the Kingdom of Poland, and the Kingdom of Sweden wants to turn the Baltic Sea into an inner lake.
As for Western continental civilizations such as France, England, the Netherlands, Spain, etc., because of topographical restrictions, it is not easy to expand, so we can only consider annexing civilizations from other continents and establishing colonies.
Chutian 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 have fought hard, and even the areas of Central Asia, which have always been unknown, are rising because of the efforts of Wakutai.
Chutian already knew that the Mongolian and Turkic coalition forces had broken the Guishuang Empire by one million soldiers and horses.
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, Wokuotai, Tuolai and others, are still quite united, and the third and fourth generations began to split.
"I don't have time to pay more attention for the time being, let's solve the enemy in front of you."
Chutian thought 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 the upper-medium civilization of Dongying is trying to expand.
"Lord, King Ming's army is frequently mobilized and is coming to our camp."
Hua Mulan personally came to tell Chu Tian about the intelligence on the movement of the opposing army.
The Battle of West Liaoning was too important to Chutian forces, and Hua Mulan had to use her heart.
If Mingguan cannot be defeated and Luoyang City is reclaimed by Old Qin, then the Northern War initiated by Chu Tian in the past two years will fall short, and the situation may even be reversed.
Sometimes the situation reverses, just after a battle. It is difficult to control individual abilities for general changes.
"Because of the loss of the outer city of Lonely Bamboo City, Ming Wang has been unable to restrain himself. He wants to fight us decisively in western Liaoning. He did use Lonely Bamboo City to cause us many casualties."
Chutian reported through Hua Mulan, speculating that a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army was about to come.
Chutian wanted a quick battle, and Mingguan wanted to consume 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 arrived.
"There is an important piece of information."
Before the decisive battle, Xueyue, who was in charge of intelligence, obtained new intelligence in Liaodong City.
When Chu Tian heard the latest information obtained by Xueyue, he raised his brows: "Mingguan actually obtained this kind of good stuff... But it is not surprising that this kind of stuff has indeed begun to become popular in the Songjin War at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Because Mingguan has suffered a lot, it is not easy to win..."
"What happened?"
Ekaterina asked in doubt.
Chu Tian's current vision is not low, and it can be considered as a good thing by Chu Tian. So many are really good things, and it is still a prop that Chu Tian has not seen.
Chutian nodded: "It is indeed a good thing..."
The camp of the Ming Army, a large carriage arrived, and the red cloth covered the carriage, covering the hole card of Ming Pass.
"The battle of Songjin, nine deaths and deaths, only got this small batch of props..."
Mingguan led the generals to the front of the carriage.
Xianbei generals such as Murongba, Murongke, Muronglin, Yuwen Yidougui, Yuwentai, Duan Pixi, and Wuhuan generals such as Daun did not follow Mingguan to the Battle of Songjin in the fifth epic battle, so they did not Know what props Mingguan brought back.
"This small team of carriages can really reverse the situation?"
Murong Ke was very curious about what Mingguan brought back.
"It is impossible. In any case, with a small team of carriages, the entire battlefield cannot be changed. The number of soldiers and horses in the west of Liaoning has exceeded one million."
shook his head suddenly.
Yao Guangxiao, a military adviser, wore a black robe and ordered the soldiers to uncover the red cloth.
Almost everyone's eyes are on the props under the red cloth.
Almost all military commanders of the Ming army understand that with their positive strength, the Ming army will most likely be unable to defeat Xia Jun.
If you want to win, you must find another way.
The red cloth was lifted, revealing the cold bronze firearm, heavy.
"The Qing Army's...Red Cannon!"
Mingguan's eyes showed a bit of enthusiasm. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
In the Battle of Songjin, his cavalry captured the positions of the Qing army, plundered a group of red cannons, and captured a group of Qing army artillery.
In "Lord", firearms need to be matched with the corresponding units to be effective.
If there is no such special unit of artillery, then the red cannons obtained in Mingguan are just a pile of broken copper and iron.
At the same time, Mingguan did not have amulets and corresponding drawings of buildings and firearms, so this batch of red cannons and artillerymen were more like consumables. They were killed in battle and cannot be recruited.
This is also the first time a bronze artillery appeared in "Lord", which is basically the most advanced firearm in "Lord"!
Murong Ba, Murong Ke, Murong Ling, Yu Wentai, Yu Dun and other tribal leaders couldn't help but stare. They had never seen such a strange weapon.
"Although it is sufficient to replace cold weapons and cannot obtain absolute suppression, it is enough to deter the Xia army."
Mingguan captured the artillery positions of the Qing army with cavalry, 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 could not be completely relieved.
"Unfortunately, it's just a trophy. I want to see how Chu Zimou dealt with the Red Cannon. He participated in the battle of Kunyang. I don't know if he brought back any hole cards..."
Mingguan also had scouts inquiring about Chutian, knowing that Chutian was involved in the battle of Kunyang.
