Chapter 730 Siege!
Chapter 730
Uzang's iron cavalry used very heavy and thick plate armor, and the plate armor of the Baixiong soldiers was particularly strong and heavy. Not only that, all the armor of the Baixiong soldiers had the largest number of strong inscriptions attached.
This is also the reason why they were able to fight against the Makliumu Legion of the Dashi Empire back then!
call out! call out! call out!
On the city wall, Wang Chong's men chose restraint, but the Uzangbai army outside the city wall chose the opposite strategy. Following a piercing scream, thousands of dense rain of arrows roared towards the people at the top of the city like a tidal wave.
At that moment, the void seemed to be torn apart.
Even Bai Siling's complexion changed slightly when he saw the long empty marks drawn from behind those arrows.
"careful!"
"Be careful and dodge!"
...
Waves of high-pitched roars resounded from all over the city, all the masters of the aristocratic families, including Bai Siling and Zhao Hongying, chose to dodge.
The power contained in those arrows is so powerful that even they are not sure that they can resist it.
At this moment, the only one standing on the top of the wall, not dodging or dodging, exposed to the rain of arrows, was Wang Chong. His expression was calm, without any change on his face.
boom!
Hundreds of arrows pierced Jincrack Mountain and shot from all directions, covering Wang Chong's whole body. However, the rain of arrows was still a few feet away, so they were fixed in the air, motionless.
Hum, Wang Chong blinked his eyes, and a stern cold light flashed faintly in the darkness. In an instant, all the long arrows were densely packed in all directions, and all the long arrows were swirled by an invisible force, smashed into pieces with a bang, and fell to the ground one after another. .
At that moment, even the roar of the Bai Xiong soldiers outside the city became much weaker. On the top of the city, all the masters of the aristocratic families, together with the guards on the top of the city, looked at Wang Chong with incomparable admiration.
Wang Chong, who stood still in the rain of arrows, was like a god, fixing the hearts of the people and becoming the backbone of everyone's hearts.
"Prepare!"
"Raise the secondary wall!"
...
With a crackling sound,
Thick, slanted steel plates soon rose up on the city wall. As soon as these steel plates rose, they immediately protected everyone.
At this time, outside the city wall, the second wave of attacks by Bai Xiongbing had arrived. In the dim night, more than a dozen white male soldiers from Uzang dragged a long, silver-white thing, and rushed towards the tall gate of the city of steel like a shooting star with the high-speed impact of their horses. .
"Be careful! It's a siege cone!"
A panicked cry sounded from the city wall.
At that moment, everyone could see clearly that the tip of the silver-white thing was extremely sharp, and it was a sharp siege cone five or six feet long.
On the surface of the siege cone, there are many complicated silver-white patterns. As for the silver-white pattern, anyone in the army is no stranger to it, it is densely packed with countless sharp runes.
All things engraved with this kind of sharp runes are top-notch siege weapons, and even steel gates with a thickness of several feet will be completely pierced.
"boom!"
Before they had time to think about it, an earth-shattering loud noise rang in everyone's ears. At that moment, the entire city of steel was buzzing and trembling, as if it had been hit by a meteor.
And the sound continued, and there was another sound of horseshoes kicking hurriedly outside the city, and the second silver-white siege cone from the Daxueshan Temple came one after another like a thunderbolt.
Boom, followed by the second sound of landslides and ground cracks in everyone's ears.
"Lord Hou!"
A voice came from beside his ear. Su Shixuan looked at Wang Chong with an extremely pale face. If the opponent's attack method is followed, the gate of the city of steel may not last long.
Although at the beginning, like Cheng Sanyuan, he was puzzled by Wang Chong's decision to let them retreat into the city, but at this time, no matter how dull Su Shixuan was, he could feel that this wave of enemies was different from the past, different from any other in any sense. The cavalry are not the same.
Because no cavalry would carry such a siege cone when charging on the battlefield.
This wave of enemies is more powerful than imagined, and they are well prepared.
"Don't worry about it. No matter what siege weapons they use, they will never be able to open the gates of the city of steel."
Wang Chong's voice was flat, neither high nor low, but it had a shocking power.
Bai Xiongbing's field charge was almost invincible, at least with his cavalry alone, he couldn't stop it at all, but holding on to the city was another matter.
Wang Chong knew what Su Shixuan was worried about, but that kind of thing was impossible.
The gates of the City of Steel are not ordinary steel at all, but meteoric iron transported by Wang Chong from overseas. No matter how many sharp runes are inscribed on the siege cones used by Bai Xiongbing, and no matter how powerful the charge is, they will never It is impossible to break through the city gate made of meteoric iron.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, what's more, Wang Chong has engraved so many defensive runes and strong runes on the city gate.
"Uzang is not involved in production. It is impossible to forge something of this level of technology. It seems that it can only come from the Daxue Mountain Temple."
Wang Chong thought one after another. Wu Sizang valued himself far more than he expected, but no matter what they wanted to do, they were destined to be impossible to succeed.
The Iron City is his painstaking effort, and it is even his dream. In order to gain a foothold here, he has already made sufficient preparations. Even the famous Baixiong soldiers from Uzang will never be able to break through this city.
"Send the order down and tell Xu Keyi that it's time to prepare!"
Wang Chong said.
"Yes, Lord Hou!"
A herald quickly responded.
Outside the City of Steel, the attack of the Bai Xiongbing was far from over. Boom boom boom, silver siege cones hit the tall city gate fiercely one after another.
At the same time, there was only a ding ding ding sound, and under the high city wall, long five-clawed hooks were thrown up, hooking the edge of the city wall.
"superior!"
Amidst the roar, hundreds of Baixiong soldiers jumped up from their horses, grasping the rope with their right hands, and climbed towards the top of the city like lightning with the help of the five-claw hook on the city wall.
"Everyone come with me, stop them!"
Su Shixuan's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly pulled out the long sword on his body, and was the first to walk out from under the side wall that blocked the rain of arrows, and rushed towards the five-clawed hooks.
On the other side, other people with full body armor also rushed out.
Those people outside the city are extremely powerful. If they are allowed to climb over the city wall and open the gate of the city of steel with the help of hooks, then more than 100,000 craftsmen in the whole city will be exposed to their iron hooves. .
The City of Steel will suffer heavy casualties!
Clang, clang, a long sword was chopped on the five-clawed hook, splitting the five-clawed hook in two. Losing these five-claw scratching hooks, all the Baixiong soldiers fell down one after another.
However, before falling to the ground, these Baixiong soldiers flicked their right hands, and hooked the top of the wall with five-claw scratching hooks one after another. These Baixiong soldiers immediately rushed towards the top of the city...
"Mr. Zhang!"
At the time when the Uzbek Tibetans' attack was the most intense, Wang Chong glanced at the densely packed Uzbek white soldiers who had rushed under the city wall. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Shouzhi, who was protected by several guards. :
"Okay, the beehive is almost ready to use."
"Um."
Zhang Shouzhi nodded, without speaking, he turned his head and left quickly, and walked down the city wall.
Although he was only good at building cities, Zhang Shouzhi followed Wang Chong to participate in the Southwest War, so he was not ignorant of military affairs. These people are powerful, but as cavalry, they brought enough tools such as siege cones and five-claw hooks that are not common to cavalry.
Obviously this is no ordinary opponent.
But no matter who they were, it was obvious that they all underestimated Wang Chong's belief in building a city here, as well as making sufficient preparations.
"Buzz!"
Just when hundreds of Uzbekistan and white male soldiers rushed to the city wall and used hooks to climb towards the city wall, no one noticed that at the city wall about fifteen meters from the ground, there suddenly appeared one by one Densely packed, honeycomb-like holes.
In the hole, there is a faint cold light of sharp arrows everywhere.
Boom, there was a buzzing sound, and in an instant, thousands of sharp arrows were as dense as locusts, and suddenly shot out, covering all the Uzang white soldiers outside the city wall. It happened so suddenly that the Uzang Baixiong soldiers outside the city were caught off guard.
Ding ding ding, countless arrows rained down on his body, all of which were blocked by the thick armor. But the rain of arrows shot down on the city wall was more than tens of thousands, and there was no way to dodge at such a short distance, puff puff puff, long arrows were penetrated by the dense arrow rain, and shot through the neck and other places go in.
bang bang bang!
In an instant, thirty or forty Bai Xiong soldiers were caught off guard and fell down, their bodies lying on the spot. Others were also shot off the rope and fell off the city wall. Not only that, even the other Uzang Baixiong soldiers under the city wall were also within the range of the arrow rain, puff puff puff, shooting people on their backs in the blink of an eye, and another seventy or eighty white Xiong soldiers were shot and killed on the spot.
"Damn it!"
"Watch out for the rain of arrows!"
...
A roar pierced the night sky, this wave of strong arrow rain at close range was beyond the expectation of all the Bai Xiong soldiers. Wang Chong's "beehive" ambush was just right, and there was no warning before it was launched, causing more than a hundred casualties of Bai Xiongbing in an instant.
For a battle with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands at every turn, this casualty is insignificant at all, but for the Baixiong soldiers who only have five or six thousand soldiers, this is definitely not a small casualty.
"Turn the shield!"
"defense!"
The ferocity of the Bai Xiongbing was fully revealed at this time, facing this wave of waterfalls, none of the Bai Xiongbing retreated. In the dim light of the fire, these white male soldiers suddenly bent down, and put their right hands under the horse's belly. When they stood up, there were already thick plate shields in their hands.
One shield after another was connected together, lifted high into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a huge "defense" was formed under the walls of the city of steel. All the arrows that rained on these shields were all blocked.
"Everyone, hurry up and open the city gate! Take down the city of steel!"
A commander-like leader of the Baixiong army shouted loudly, and as soon as the voice fell, more five-clawed hooks flew over the distance of more than 40 meters and hit the top of the city.
Not only that, in the rain of arrows, several white male soldiers with strange armor suddenly jumped off their horses, and under the cover of their shields, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
