Chapter 693-The Battle of Datong

When Ning Yuan was desperately looking for foreign aid that might help the Condor Empire to reduce external pressure, Shen Wanli had already led an army to capture Zhangjiakou, and the army led by Gu Yun Tian also rushed to the city of Datong.

Facing the defenders of Datong City who refused to surrender, Gu Yun Tian immediately ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on Datong City.

Because Datong City is a forbidden city, the Condor Army can only launch a strong attack from the ground.

When the Condor Army pushed hundreds of trebuchets to the attack position, the enemy and us took the lead in a trebuchet battle.

As the soldiers operating the trebuchet pulled down the hand brakes, huge boulders were thrown into the sky by the huge force, and flew towards Datong City with howling.

When the boulder hit the city wall, there was a deafening noise, and the huge impact shook the figures of the soldiers on the city’s head.

Although this first wave of attacks did not cause too many casualties to the defenders of Datong City, and failed to destroy the strong walls, it did double the pressure on the defenders in the city.

As the saying goes, it is also not to be indecent. After the trebuchet of the Condor Army was launched, the trebuchet installed on the head of the city of Datong immediately launched a counterattack.

Although the number of trebuchets in Datong City is far less than that of the Condor Army, they occupy a height advantage, so their power and range are better than those of the Condor Army.

Just an ordinary counterattack, several trebuchets on the Condor Army side were smashed into a pile of tatters, and a dozen unlucky Condor Army soldiers were killed on the spot.

“Oye!”

Seeing the results achieved by his side, the Yanyulou player on the head of the city immediately cheered in excitement.

Facing his own loss, Gu Yun Tian didn’t change his face, he let the soldiers go to treat the wounded with no expression, and towed away the scrapped trebuchet wreckage.

After the second round of catapult loading was completed, the dwarf personnel in charge of directing the bombing immediately corrected the trajectory, and then launched a second wave of attacks while the catapult at the head of the city filled the stone bombs.

After correcting the trajectory, the second wave of the Condor Army’s sling accuracy was much more accurate than the first wave. Except for a few dozen boulders that hit the front of the city wall, all the other stone bullets were thrown to the head of the city.

As the boulder fell on the top of the city, there was a scream from the top of the city.

A bright red mark was left in the place where it was run over by a huge boulder. Blood and corpses were everywhere around the mark. The tragedy was like purgatory on earth.

“The defenders retreat temporarily.”

Looking at the miserable situation on the city, the commander of Yanyu Tower suddenly had his eyes cracked. He didn’t expect the accuracy of the trebuchets of the Condor Army to be so high. In order to avoid too many casualties, he had to let the soldiers go down the city to avoid them.

The Condor Army’s second sling attack not only killed many defenders, but also successfully destroyed several trebuchets on the city wall, which put more pressure on the defenders in the city.

“Fight me back.”

After arranging for the defenders to go down to the city to hide, the player commander immediately uttered a loud roar.

As more than a dozen boulders were thrown high in the sky, a scream was heard from the position of the Condor Army. Three or four trebuchets were hit by the boulders, and dozens of Condor soldiers were thrown out of the slings. Machine debris shot.

However, after the dwarf artificial soldiers calibrated the trebuchet for the second time, the trebuchet in Datong City was completely misfired.

Looking at the trebuchet that was smashed into a pile of waste, all the players in the Yanyu Tower looked incredulous.

Although they know that the trebuchet war is a competition between the enemy and us who has more trebuchets and who has more accurate trebuchets, they are ready to destroy all their trebuchets.

But after only three rounds of sling attacks, all of their 30 or so trebuchets were scrapped, which made them somewhat unacceptable.

Although the number of trebuchets in the Condor Army is more, they are also a little too accurate.If the enemy can always maintain this accuracy, how can Datong City defend it?

In fact, the trebuchet, no matter how accurate it is calibrated, it cannot be compared with other long-range weapons.

The reason why the trebuchets of the Condor Army are so “precise” is mainly because there are too many, and then they have some shit luck.

In fact, not only the players in the Yanyu Building felt unbelievable, even the dwarf artificial soldiers in charge of calibration were also a little dazed, because they were still waiting for the third calibration.

After discovering the misfire of the trebuchet above the city, they suddenly realized.

After two consecutive rounds of stone bullets were thrown at the city head, and the enemy did not return any attacks, the Condor Army finally confirmed that the enemy’s trebuchets had been destroyed.

After learning that the enemy’s trebuchets were all scrapped, Gu Yun Tian immediately dispatched the siege troops.

When the soldiers of the Condor Army pushed the siege tower and the arrow tower slowly approaching the city wall, the defenders of Datong City immediately returned to the city wall, preparing to resist the attack of the Condor Army.

When the defenders on the city wall were preparing to launch a long-range attack on the Condor Army, the Condor Army’s trebuchet positions were once again fully fired.

“Grass.”

Looking at the huge boulder that suddenly flew over, many players in Yanyu Tower couldn’t help cursing.

They didn’t expect the Condor Army to dare to use trebuchets at this time. Don’t they worry about hurting their own people by mistake?

Of course, the Condor Army would be worried about accidentally hurting their own people, so they just conducted two rounds of stone throwing and stopped directly.

Because the Condor Army was still far away from the city wall, the chance of accidental injury was not high. After the Condor Army was close to the city wall, they wouldn’t dare to throw stones even if they were confident. After all, the accuracy of stone throwing was not so easy to control.

Although they can no longer go on throwing stones, their goal has been achieved.

Those two rounds of sudden sling attacks directly disrupted the rhythm of the defenders on the city wall.

In order to avoid the slings, the defenders all hid behind the female wall. After they got up again, the Condor Army had successfully approached the wall, and they had already missed the best long-range suppression opportunity.

The city wall of Datong City is 15 meters high, but the arrow tower of the Condor Army is 20 meters high. When the defenders on the top of the city got up, they were immediately sniped by the Condor Army’s arrow tower.

Since both the enemy and the enemy have entered the opponent’s long-range attack range, there will be a rain of arrows in the sky next.

When both the enemy and the enemy use cover shooting, the point of avoidance is not great. After all, no one can really see and listen to all directions.

At this time, the competition is which side has better equipment, which side has more tight defensive formation, and which side has more accurate shooting skills.

Shanxi is rich in coal mines and iron ore. Although the reserves of iron ore resources are far from comparable to those of coal mines, and it is not easy to explore and mine them, Yanyulou still gathers all the iron ore resources and builds several heavy equipment. Infantry Regiment.

Most of those heavy infantry were distributed in four forbidden cities, guarding the door of Yanyu Tower.

Although there are not many defenders in Datong City, there are 20,000 aboriginal heavy infantrymen.

Although those heavily armed infantry looked very fragile when facing the huge boulder that fell from the sky, the bows and arrows of the Condor Army obviously couldn’t hurt them.

The same goes for the Condor Siege Soldiers under the city wall.

The Northeast has the largest iron ore reserves in China. After occupying Anshan and other places, the Shenying Empire never worried about insufficient iron ore.

Since both the enemy and the enemy were dispatched by heavy-armored archers, apart from wasting some arrows, both sides were doing useless work.

Defending the city with heavy armored archers was Ning Yuan stole his division from Jun Moxie, and then was broadcast live during the Shanhaiguan defensive battle. Since then, all players in the world have learned to use heavy armored archers to defend the city.

Unless there is really no such condition, no one is unwilling to follow suit, because the benefits are too great.

After discovering that the long-range attack was ineffective, both the enemy and the enemy stopped shooting, preparing to keep their strength in the next hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that the defense of Datong City is airtight and very difficult to gnaw, Gu Yun Tian immediately called a messenger to his side and commanded softly.

After receiving the order, the messenger rushed to Datong City immediately.

After running to a place 40 to 50 meters away from the city wall and stopping, the messenger shouted to the defender on the front of the city: “God has a good virtuous life. You wait for the last chance.

As long as you open the city gate and surrender now, our army will guarantee the safety of your life.

If you swear to resist to the end, when the city is broken, our army will slaughter the city and turn Datong City into a dead city. ”

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, a rain of arrows flew towards him, and the player on the top of the city used actual actions to tell the Condor Army own the answer.

Under the protection of the soldiers, the messenger retreated directly, and then the siege war officially began.

Gu Yun Tian’s original intention was to put some pressure on the defenders in the city and destroy their psychological defenses, but he didn’t know that the players would not surrender, and his threats were ineffective to the players.

At this time, there happened to be a large number of players on the city wall. After hearing the call of the Condor Army, the players worried that the aboriginal soldiers would be affected, so they launched an attack without hesitation.

Seeing that the enemy didn’t know what was good or bad, Gu Yun Tian suddenly became angry, so he waved the flag, and the Condor Army immediately began a fierce attack.

As the suspension bridge on the siege tower was placed on the head of the city, the soldiers of the Condor Army, wearing heavy armor and holding battle axes, swarmed towards the head of the city.

Both the enemy and the enemy started a frantic competition around each suspension bridge.

All the time, soldiers of the Condor Army were smashed down the suspension bridge with long weapons, and there were also soldiers from the garrison who were smashed to death by the Condor Army with tomahawks.

Although both the enemy and the enemy are heavily armored infantry, their combat effectiveness is obviously different.

The morale of the Condor Army is high. All soldiers have undergone rigorous training. Everyone is a talented person.

They regarded Ning Yuan as a god, with a strong sense of honor, and everyone regarded death in battle as the highest honor for a soldier.

Facing the enemy, their eyes were bloodthirsty, and they didn’t know what they were afraid of. They were the real tiger and wolf teacher.

On the other side of Yanyulou, although the soldiers did not have time to think about the mess during the battle, their personal strength was obviously not as good as the soldiers of the Condor Army, and they did not have the aura of the Condor Army to look at the world.

So even if they had done their best to regard death as their home, they still couldn’t stop the Condor Army from rushing to the head of the city.

As more and more soldiers of the Condor Army rushed to the head of the city, the Condor Army gradually began to gain a foothold on the city wall.

Seeing this continued, the city wall was about to fall, and the commander of Yanyu Tower had to transfer the defenders from other places. At this time, he couldn’t care too much.

When it was discovered that the defenders in the city had begun to attack the Condor Army, the Seraphim scout located above Datong City immediately reported the news to Gu Yun Tian.

“Immediately order the Ascending Army Corps to launch an attack.”

After learning that the defenders of other city walls had been transferred away in large numbers, Gu Yun Tian immediately smiled.

The so-called Ascendant Legion is actually the Ape Man Legion. Ning Yuan originally wanted to name them the Great Saint Legion, but it felt a little too that. So he changed its name to the Ascendant Legion. You can even climb to the sky when allowed.

The main attack of the Condor Army was the southern wall of Datong City, while the Celestial Army Corps was in ambush to the north of Datong City.

After receiving the order, 50,000 strong ape-man warriors rushed to Datong City at full speed.

After coming under the city wall, they braved the arrow rain from the defenders, hung the climbing rope specially made by the Condor Army to the city head, and then quickly climbed up along the rope.

After discovering that a large number of enemies suddenly appeared, the defenders who were in charge of defending the northern city wall urgently asked for help from the rear, while using bows and arrows to attack the ape-man warriors.When the ape-man warriors hung the climbing rope to the top of the city, they instinctively used the sword to chop, wanting to cut the rope.

Their ideas are very good, but they are destined to be disappointed.

This is because the Condor Army took this into consideration when developing such ropes. Not only are these ropes exceptionally strong, their grappling hooks are also difficult to remove when the ropes are tightened.

Every rope used by the ape warrior is carefully crafted with special materials. Even if it is chopped with a giant axe, it takes thousands of times to chop and chop it. As for ordinary swords, it is even worse.

The ape-man warrior under the city wall would definitely not give the enemy this time, so the defenders only chopped a few times before they had to stop, because the ape-man warrior had already climbed up the rope.

Just as the defenders were about to attack the ape-man warriors who were about to approach the city’s head, the ape-man warriors suddenly slammed onto the wall and set a swing directly on the wall.

In the dumbfounded gaze of the guards at the head of the city, they took advantage of their strength and jumped into the air, and then landed directly on the head of the city.

After climbing to the head of the city, the ape-man warriors immediately took off the mace strapped behind them, and slammed directly towards the own defender.

As more and more ape-man warriors stepped onto the city’s head, the northern wall of Datong City soon fell completely.

When the reinforcements sent by Yanyulou arrived, they had already opened the north city gate, and the Condor Army waiting outside directly followed the city gate and slew in.

The Condor Army launched the siege at around eight o’clock in the morning. When the time came to three o’clock in the afternoon, the Yanyulou player guarding Datong City had all been killed.

Just when Gu Yun Tian looked at the aboriginal soldiers who surrendered and was still hesitating, the post-war statistics were delivered to him.

When he learned that more than 4,000 people had been killed in the heavy armor of the Condor Army, he immediately clenched his fists.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yun Tian directly gave the order to slaughter the city.

As the Condor Army soldiers waved their butcher knives against the captives and the people in the city, blood flowed into the city of Datong.

When the cries in the city gradually disappeared, except for the living mouths left behind by the two hundred people, the city of Datong was silent.

Looking at the two hundred captives with an angry look, Gu Yun Tian smiled coldly: “I have given you a chance before. You don’t know how to cherish it, so all of this is caused by you.

The reason why I left the lives of you people is not to pity you.

In a while, I will ask someone to prepare a fast horse and dry food for each of you, and let you go.

Your task is to tell others exactly what happened in Datong City.

This task is not mandatory, you do not do it or not.

But I will put the ugly words first, if the next city is still stubborn to the end, then I will continue to slaughter the city after the city is broken.

Come, prepare horses and dry food for them, and let them go. ”

In fact, if possible, Gu Yun Tian didn’t want to slaughter the city, after all, this would damage the reputation of the Condor Army.

But the current situation is too urgent.

The Condor Empire is now embarrassed on all sides, and the pressure from the outside is increasing, so he can’t delay it for too long here.

Now that Tang Yu’s army has penetrated into the enemy’s hinterland alone, he is always facing the risk of being encircled and suppressed by the enemy. He must open up the passage between Datong and Taiyuan as soon as possible.

If every city of the enemy defends like Datong City, when will he get through this passage?

Moreover, four thousand elites were killed in one attack, and his elite legions could not withstand such a huge loss, so he had to let the enemy know the price of resistance, and massacre was the most effective deterrent method.

Although this might arouse the enemy’s rebellious mentality, he can’t take care of that much now. In order to get through this channel as soon as possible, he doesn’t mind being an executioner.
