Chapter 825 Liang Army Attacks the City
On the wall of Anling City, the horn sounded as an alarm. As early as the moment when the reconnaissance team on the opposite side frequently launched operations outside their border line, the garrison troops headed by Shi Lei had already made preparations.
Now they are taking action in an orderly manner.
Climbing up the wall, Shi Lei directly activated the "Eye of Insight" to observe the situation in the distance.
At a glance, Shi Lei frowned slightly and fell into silence.
The soldiers on the side saw Shi Lei's expression and thought that the situation was serious. Little did they know that Shi Lei's thoughts at this moment were...
[That's it? ]
At this moment, according to his observation of the Eye of Insight, the number of troops outside the city was about 4,000.
The siege equipment currently discovered includes ladders, siege towers and siege hammers, which are considered the three old things in siege warfare.
But the problem now is that there are nearly 3,000 garrison troops in their Anling City.
Unless the other side has violent door-opening equipment like the three-bow bed crossbow, which can directly blow up their city gates and kill them, it is basically a pipe dream to capture their Anling City with only 4,000 siege troops in normal siege mode.
When they attacked the New World, Shi Lei, as the general at that time, had encountered more severe situations. Now he really didn't take the current situation seriously.
However, the problem that more than half of their city is new soldiers cannot be ignored.
Thinking of this, Shi Lei did not relax at all and quickly arranged a whole defense task.
At the same time, the commander of Liang State frowned as he looked at Anling City in the distance.
Although before setting off, their majesty had said that the opposite Huaxia country was a paper tiger because of years of war and the lack of national strength, and now it was broken with a poke, they had the help of centaurs and mercenaries, and they would win this battle!
But at this time, the commander of Liang State was still not optimistic.
Having experienced the previous war, he was naturally clear about the strength of the Centaurs.
So he also knew that the Centaurs were cavalry units. Unless the opponent took the initiative to attack, the Centaurs would not be of much use in the siege.
As his thoughts raced, the Liang State coach's eyes fell on the capable general beside him.
"Zhao Hu, go challenge!"
After receiving the order, the black-faced man called Zhao Hu was excited, holding a ring-headed broadsword, slapping his horse and rushing up, then pointing the knife at the top of the wall, and loudly provoking...
"The coward on the opposite side! Grandpa Zhao Hu is here, dare you come out to fight?!"
After a round of scolding, the gate of Anling City was opened soon, and Li Tie came out with a battle axe.
"Sun thief, don't be so arrogant, I will fight you!"
After a brief friendly exchange between the two sides, the two figures quickly rushed together on horseback.
Looking at the black-faced man, Li Tie swung the crystal iron battle axe in his hand without saying a word, and chopped at the opponent's face.
He is now a master of one trick. No matter what opponent comes, he will take his full-strength axe first.
With the strength advantage of the crystal iron weapon in his hand, even if this axe cannot kill the opponent, it can cut off the opponent's weapon.
When the two sides fight, once the opponent's weapon is broken, his advantage can be quickly magnified!
However, what Li Tie did not expect was that the black-faced man looked rough, but in fact he was still a bit meticulous.
In this battlefield fight, the most common is to use swords and guns, and it is rare to use axes, not to mention that the axe is heavy.
Zhao Hu, who saw this, did not fight him head-on. At the moment when the weapons of both sides collided, Zhao Hu's ring-headed broadsword in his hand tilted and directly released the force to the side.
The opponent's release of force, Li Tie's full-strength axe almost knocked him over.
Zhao Hu saw the opportunity and turned the blade to counterattack.
Fortunately, Li Tie was incredibly strong, and his lower body was stable enough, so he pulled the axe back, and chopped it back with his backhand, forcing Zhao Hu to retreat.
After avoiding the attack, Zhao Hu's eyes were full of surprise.
[This guy is so strong? ]
This situation was undoubtedly a bit beyond his initial expectations.
During this period, Li Tie, who exerted force with both arms and forcibly twisted the axe, turned his whole face purple-red, but he held his breath and swung the crystal iron battle axe in his hand, chasing Zhao Hu.
Seeing this, Zhao Hu blocked the big knife in his hand diagonally in front of him, and countered his moves all the way.
At the same time, on the top of the wall, Shi Lei had already confirmed Zhao Hu's panel with the "Eye of Insight", and saw that the other party's panel was the same as Li Tie's, three-star bravery and three-star endurance, and the talent was "Sword General".
Judging from the panel attributes and talents, they are just as good as each other.
Under this premise, Li Tie's weapons, armor, and warhorse are undoubtedly better than the opponent's. They have the upper hand no matter how you look at it.
However, the whole situation is not as he expected.
Shi Lei knew that the situation was not good when he saw that the opponent had resolved Li Tie's first axe.
Then he noticed Li Tie's face that turned purple and red, and Zhao Hu, who was fighting all the way under Li Tie's pursuit, Shi Lei immediately sent a signal without saying a word, signaling Li Tie to retreat.
At the same time, the gate of Anling City was also opened.
Hearing the signal, Li Tie, who knew that he was already at the end of his strength, swung another axe, and rode away without any hesitation.
Zhao Hu wanted to chase, but his horse couldn't outrun the opponent, so he could only watch Li Tie flee back to the city.
The Liang army in the rear didn't know why the enemy general who had been chasing their general suddenly turned around and ran away, but this obviously didn't prevent them from celebrating, and they just thought that their general won.
For a moment, intense cheers broke out from the enemy camp, which greatly boosted the momentum of the Liang army!
The attack horn sounded immediately, and the attack was launched directly towards Anling City.
At the same time, Li Tie, who had entered the city, rode his horse back to the barracks at the fastest speed regardless of the soldiers around him.
At this time, because the enemy was about to attack the city, the soldiers basically gathered near the city walls to support the battle, and there were basically no people in the barracks.
This also made Li Tie unable to suppress it anymore, and he choked on a mouthful of blood on the spot, and his hands couldn't stop shaking slightly.
Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly took off his arm armor and rolled up his sleeves. His arms were swollen and looked a shocking dark red, even a little purple.
At that time, he swung his axe with all his strength but missed. He used his brute force to forcibly pull the axe back and force Zhao Hu to retreat. This had already strained the muscles in his arms, and the continuous pursuit made him even more injured.
At this moment, he only moved a little, and the tearing pain from his arms could make him grit his teeth and gasp.
If the soldiers saw him like this, the morale would be affected even more.
At this time, thinking back to the previous battle, Li Tie's face became even uglier.
"That black-faced guy is not simple. At that time, I actually felt like I was fighting with Jie Liancheng!"
