"kill!"

The battle for the other two secondary gates of Bo'an City started at the same time.

As mentioned before, Bo'an City is built on a mountain. The two auxiliary city gates are blocked by the mountains. They can only be built to half the extent of the main city gate. Moreover, the mountains are steep, making it easier to defend than the main city gate.

attack.

Therefore, even though there were only 100,000 defenders reserved at the auxiliary city gate, they could still remain calm when they saw an enemy force twice their size attacking.

The same tactics, but because the terrain on the side of the deputy city gate is narrower and easier for the defenders to defend, the number of stormtroopers sent by the attacking generals on both sides increased to 50,000!

There is nothing we can do about this.

Although the number of trebuchets at the top of the city is not as good as that at the main city gate, it is still an exaggerated number. It is impossible to get close to the moat amidst the flaming boulders smashing down like a violent storm without spending a lot of human lives to fill it.

This is the geographical advantage that the defenders have in a siege, and it is also the price that the siege party will pay most of the time.

There were constant messengers passing through the battlefields on both sides, relaying the news immediately back to Zhang Chengwang.

"So, there is nothing strange about Bo'an City!"

After hearing the report from the messenger, before Zhang Chengwang could speak, there were already generals nearby who couldn't help but glare at Guo Zi and the two.

Unlike Feng Wuna and other generals who focused on the art of military generals, when Zhang Chengwang said that there would be changes in three days, many generals in the big tent actually roughly guessed the reason.

As for today's siege, to put it bluntly, Zhang Chengwang was testing this change with the lives of his own soldiers.

There are three city gates and a total of 600,000 troops. I wonder if half of them can be withdrawn after this battle?

In other words, because of Guo Zi's intelligence, the Zhu Yan Empire would lose nearly 300,000 troops for nothing!

Although a huge force of more than two million people has gathered outside Bo'an City at the moment, this is human life after all, and it is not a simple addition or subtraction that will be lost if you say no!

Just because of the wrong information brought back by these two hateful guys?

After seeing Bo'an City's orderly response, many experienced generals on the scene could already tell that the city gate could not be captured.

Unless Zhang Chengwang increases his troops to attack the city.

But is this still necessary?

Bo'an City is still Bo'an City, and it still has a huge advantage in defense. If they increase their troops, will the other side have fewer reinforcements?

The two offset each other, and the ones who suffer are still the siege parties who can only risk their lives. After the ultimate loss of troops, not to mention the siege, it is still a question whether they can retreat intact.

So the situation seems to be back to square one.

It's possible to siege the city, but Bo'an City doesn't have more troops to go out to fight, but it's not possible to attack the city, and it also doesn't have enough troops to capture Bo'an City.

The only difference is that they lost 300,000 troops!

And who is to blame for all this?

The generals glared at Guo Zi and the two men, wishing they could rush forward and tear them apart alive, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve their hatred!

"No, wait first."

Zhang Chengwang looked coldly in the direction of Bo'an City with a deep brow, waved his hand to stop some impulsive generals, and muttered: "To say that there are no changes...actually there are some."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of the other generals immediately gathered, and there was no look of doubt or inquiry in them.

Zhang Chengwang did not answer, but just stared in the direction of Bo'an City Gate.

There, Zhu Yan's stormtroopers, who had lost nearly four-fifths of their manpower, finally landed!

Out of more than 10,000 soldiers, after a sprint of just a few hundred meters, only less than 2,000 soldiers were able to reach the gates of Bo'an City!

But it's not over yet.

These two thousand people did not just cross the moat, they also shouldered the huge task of lowering the drawbridge for the large forces behind to attack the city.

At this time, the defenders on the city tower were also anxious. Many archers leaned out half of their bodies and fired arrows down from above. The wooden hammers and rolling stones that had been prepared earlier were also smashed down like crazy without any money, and even the ladles were burning hot.

Copper oil was poured down, and all kinds of defense methods were used.

Except...

Zhang Chengwang's eyes narrowed slightly. What he was looking at was not the charging soldiers who were struggling to move forward close to the city wall. What he was looking at was the gate of Bo'an City.

Of course, he couldn't see the door now.

After the huge suspension bridge connecting Bo'an City and the outside world was raised, the main city gate was blocked by the suspension bridge. However, Zhang Chengwang's gaze seemed to have the ability to penetrate through the suspension bridge and landed firmly on the main city gate.

"The main city gate...is not open."

Zhang Chengwang shook his head and frowned slightly.

"Main city gate?"

The generals also looked over there. Although no one could see the main city gate through the suspension bridge, they could make inferences based on the situation under the city wall.

There are no soldiers from Boan City outside the city wall!

Seeing this, the generals who originally thought there had been no change also lowered their heads in thought.

The importance of the suspension bridge in Bo'an City is self-evident. If the suspension bridge is lowered by the stormtroopers, the effect of the moat will be weakened by more than 60%, giving Zhu Yan's army a chance to directly attack the city gate.

Therefore, there is absolutely no room for error in the suspension bridge.

However, even so, the defenders on the city tower only used long-range means to deal with the enemy troops under the city wall. Even when they saw the enemy clinging to the city wall and holding up their giant shields, they defended against a large number of attacks and moved closer to the suspension bridge step by step.

.

These stormtroopers were also extremely experienced. As soon as they landed ashore, they clung to the city wall. Although the giant shield was held high above their heads, it was also tilted at a slight angle, which could act as a buffer against rolling stones and rocks.

Ignore the arrow rain and copper cave offensive.

At this time, the shields of most Zhu Yan soldiers were on fire due to the copper oil, but for them who were hiding underneath, except that the shield handles were getting hotter and hotter, they could still hold on for the time being.

Under such a stormy offensive, Zhu Yan's soldiers gritted their teeth and arrived near the suspension bridge step by step.

It is said that at this time, the commander on the city tower can scan the situation under the city wall at a glance.

So in order to protect the suspension bridge, he ordered the soldiers to rush out from the city gate, quickly deal with the two thousand people and then retreat, which was a relatively safe approach.

After all, there is a moat blocking the city. There are definitely not many soldiers from the Zhu Yan Empire who can attack the city wall at the same time. They have enough time to react.

Furthermore, the terrain of Bo'an City is like a funnel, and the wider it gets wider outward, so this is also the reason why it is difficult for Bo'an City to counterattack after the Zhu Yan Empire occupied the periphery.

At the same time, the number of soldiers pouring out of the city gate was definitely not as large as that of the other side. If they were to defeat more soldiers with fewer soldiers, they might as well just defend the city wall.

But the enemy had already attacked the city wall, but they couldn't say anything.

This means that the Zhu Yan Empire also has no extra space to deploy more troops. In terms of terrain, the two sides are actually pulled to the same level.

In this case, why not send troops out of the city?

If Bo'an City still has more than two million defenders, why worry about this consumption?
