Chapter 1178 Hell Butcher

On June 5th, the army of the Maurya Dynasty had a new movement.

Of the 700,000 troops, 500,000 were left to guard the position, and the remaining 200,000 troops moved to Naijia City, the northernmost border town of Hetao Province.

Three days later, the army completely blocked the siege of Naijia.

As soon as he arrived, the Peacock King did not hesitate, and immediately summoned 250,000 imperial guards to help in the battle. In this way, a total of 450,000 troops surrounded and hunted a small border town.

The city defense of Naijia City is not as good as that of Pombin City, and it is the Fifth Army of the Dragon Army stationed here. Given that the head of the legion, Xiao Chaogui, was from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this legion is also the first legion of the Longxiang Army to transfer to a musketeer.

Even so, it couldn't stop the mighty enemy army.

The military order given by Bai Qi is: "Defend for two days, and reinforcements will come!"

…………

Naijia City, the head of the city.

Xiao Chaogui bravely stood on the top of the city, looking at the densely packed white tents outside the city, with an extremely dignified expression. The Fifth Legion faced six times more enemy troops. With such a fragile city defense as Naga City, it was no easy task to defend it for two days.

But the military order has been issued, no matter how difficult it is, Xiao Chaogui must resolutely implement it.

"Decree to the ministries that there is no option to retreat in this battle, but to defend to the end. If you can't hold it, you will live and die with Naijia City." Xiao Chaogui's voice was calm, but the military order he issued was very stern.

"promise!"

The herald also looked solemn, and quickly turned to leave.

…………

Outside the city, the camp of the Chinese army.

The Peacock King stood on a high ground, and also stared at the city of Naiga not far away. He noticed that the dragon army standing fast on the city wall was at its peak, and even in the face of the siege, there was still no sign of fear.

"It is rumored that the Longxiang army under the Great Xia's killing god Bai Qi is a group of hell butchers who kill without blinking an eye. Now it seems that what they said is true." The Peacock King actually praised the enemy like this.

When the generals around heard this, their expressions were obviously not convinced, but they didn't dare to refute.

Speaking of the Maurya Dynasty, the most famous military branch must be the famous war elephant troop, which is even stronger than the war elephant troop of the Shang Dynasty, and it is a fearsome existence on the battlefield.

It's a pity that in the siege battle, the war elephants can play very little role, so the Peacock King only brought a small number of war elephants for the final attack on the city gate.

The Peacock King seemed to feel the mood of the generals behind him. He changed the subject and said with a smile, "Even if they are butchers from hell, they cannot escape the punishment of Lord Shiva. It is time for them to see how powerful the Peacock Army is."

Speaking of this, the Peacock King suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Who wants to be the pioneer?"

"The general wishes to go!"

All the generals couldn't bear it long ago, and they called for a fight one by one.

From the point of view of the generals, besieging a small border town with such a large army is not determined in one battle, and being the vanguard means winning the battle.

No general can resist such a temptation.

The Peacock King nodded in satisfaction, and finally his eyes rested on the young general at the front, "Kaggil, it's up to you to fight!"

"yes!"

Cargill looked up in surprise. This is also a famous general in Tianzhu history, known for his bravery.

When the other generals saw it, they were very jealous.

The Peacock King was not appeased, and turned around again, looking at the city in the distance, silently lost in thought.

When the generals met, they bid farewell and left very tactfully. They knew very well that the king had a weird temperament and liked to imitate the historical Ashoka.

Soon, Kargil led his troops out of the camp and lined up outside the city.

The drums of war are beating, and the sky is full of yellow sand.

In such an unknown border town, the first large-scale war broke out in the national war. The army of the Mauryan Dynasty, led by the young general Kargil, roared and killed the city wall.

What they saw was not bloody killings, but illustrious military exploits.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is very cruel. The first wave of counterattack by the Fifth Army of the Longxiang Army defeated the army of the Maurya Dynasty.

First came round after round of artillery, followed by the roar of the bed crossbow, and finally the clear fire of muskets. Each round of attack harvested countless lives.

The prestige of the firearms troops is really frightening.

Due to the limitations of manufacturing technology, the armor of the Maurya army is far behind that of the Great Xia army. Facing such a firearm attack, it looks even weaker.

The high-speed charging army fell down in rows like wheat.

The army of the Maurya Dynasty was also brave. Under such a fierce attack, they still rushed forward recklessly, showing a heroic spirit that regarded death as home.

After finally rushing to the front, there were kerosene, logs, stones and other murderous weapons waiting for them.

Seeing that the troops were frustrated, Kargil's expression in the rear did not fluctuate at all. The first wave of attack was a tentative attack, and all the people sent were cannon fodder, that is, the Royal City Guards.

The purpose is to test the defense system of the city.

"Hey, I'm quite well prepared." Cargill seemed indifferent on the surface, but subconsciously tightened his mind. He didn't expect that the dragon army that hastily entered had such firepower.

Especially the volley of muskets made Cargill very afraid.

"Go on!"

Fear is fear, but the temptation will continue.

The 250,000 imperial guards summoned by the Peacock King this time are not the best cannon fodder.

Under Cargill's "heart of stone", troops were sent to the front line one after another, without any respite for the defending troops. Over time, the firepower network of the Longchamp Army could not hold up.

Although the P1 artillery has been improved, the barrel heat is still unavoidable, and it cannot be fired for a long time; the same is true for the musket, the barrel is already hot, and it is very difficult to reload.

In addition, the defense materials such as stones and rolling logs are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the short time and limited stockpiles, and it seems that they will not be able to last for long.

Xiao Chaogui didn't expect that the enemy army would be so brave and fearless of death, and they didn't care about casualties at all. "It's really a group of desperadoes. The commander gave me a problem."

"I have no choice but to work hard!"

Seeing that the situation was gradually deteriorating, Xiao Chaogui immediately ordered to stop throwing kerosene, stones and other materials, and save them for critical moments. The artillery and firearms units also temporarily turned off, allowing the second team to pick up.

Now, the firepower net becomes weaker.

Kargil in the distance saw it, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I thought it was so powerful, but it seems that it is nothing more than that. Send an order to let the trebuchet follow."

"yes!"

Seeing that the defenders at the top of the city were weak, Kargil decisively threw in a siege weapon, and a trebuchet was pushed to the front line, throwing boulders at the top of the city.

Without artillery restraint, the trebuchet is simply a siege weapon, unscrupulously pouring firepower at the top of the city. The city wall, which was not very strong, was crumbling under the attack of a large number of catapults.

"The siege troops follow!"

Cargill followed the order and sent out the real trump card. He had already seen the hope of winning the city of Naiga in World War I, and his face inevitably became a little flushed.

A group of elite troops rode the siege ladder, roaring and rushing towards the city wall.

The real fight has only just begun.

Under the violent bombardment of the trebuchets, the Longxiang army did not change expression. The enemy's seemingly violent attack only caused damage to the city wall, but the damage to them was very limited.

Seeing the enemy rushing to the top of the city in a menacing manner, the officers and soldiers of the Longxiang Army showed cruel smiles one by one, and pulled out the Tang Dao shining on their waists, their eyes were as cold as ice.

They want to show the enemy what a hell butcher is.
