Chapter 419 The earth is shaking
Zheng Yuanyun was looking at the teams on both sides.
The one on the left is indeed faster, but the one on the right is not much slower. The rams on both sides can hit the city wall almost at the same time.
Until now, there is still no response from Tianyuan City.
Did they really not see it, or were they very confident in their new city wall and thought there would be no problem in withstanding a few rams?
But what about the ladder?
Zheng Yuanyun frowned.
If you want to siege a city, you don't just have to break through the city gate or wall and rush in. The ladder is also a very important siege tool.
Through cloud ladders, soldiers can climb directly to the city wall when they rush to the bottom of the city wall. Of course, the defenders can also respond by overturning ladders or pouring oil on them, beating logs, etc. However, there will be a lot of ladders that cannot stand, and there will always be some.
omitted.
Once a soldier reaches the top of the city, this will trigger a chain effect. In order to deal with the climbing enemy, the defender will have to use manpower, and then the control of the remaining ladders will be weakened, eventually leading to more and more people.
More and more enemy troops boarded the city.
Furthermore, in order to deal with the ladder, the ram can be used to exert force from below. Although there are many defenders on the top of the city, in the same area, they cannot compare with the enemy troops spread out below the city. It can be said that they only care about their head.
Can't care about the tail.
Doesn’t the other party understand this?
Zheng Yuanyun watched helplessly as his own soldiers rushed closer and closer, and an uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger.
Will the other side not see the crisis on both sides?
Then they have to be blind and deaf!
Zheng Yuanyun had no intention of letting the troops on both sides sneak. Besides, they were under the city and had an unobstructed view from the top of the city. How could they possibly sneak in?
On the contrary, after seeing the tragic situation in the middle, the soldiers under him not only did not flinch, but instead aroused the passion they had experienced along the way. When he gave the order to attack, the troops with a total of 400,000 on both sides roared loudly.
, the charging momentum is also as powerful as a rainbow.
If you haven't seen or heard this, it's unless the entire Tianyuan City is filled with blind people and deaf-mute people.
so……
Zheng Yuanyun's original intention of sending these two troops was to test how many troops Ouyang Lixing had buried in Tianyuan City.
But the other side has been indifferent and ignored the attacks from both sides. Isn't this strange?
"Pass the order..."
For the sake of safety, Zheng Yuanyun did not want to lose any more troops. He was preparing to give an order to the messengers to notify the troops on both sides to change their formations and test them with a forward formation. In case the other side had a conspiracy, he would
The number of troops lost will also be less.
However, at this moment, almost at the same moment, Tianyuan City was also secretly observing the situation on the left and right sides. Seeing that the troops on both sides were almost charging, Ouyang Lixing was not greedy and turned around to send a message to the soldiers:
"Come on, that's it. Let's start it together."
The messenger soldier had been waiting for this moment. Hearing this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He excitedly agreed and threw a black flag down to the bottom of the inner city.
This is the signal they set in advance. The black flag is thrown down in the inner city, which means...
Under the city!
This city gate is not the city gate relative to the city head, but underground!
After Ouyang Lixing realized that Xilong City might not be able to withstand the attack for long, he immediately decided to order all the soldiers to march day and night, regardless of the fact that his already exhausted troops were forced to march on.
Finally, we arrived at Tianyuan City at least half a month faster than originally planned.
Therefore, Ouyang Lixing had plenty of time to deploy his defenses.
During these more than half a month, Ouyang Lixing not only ordered the soldiers to strengthen the city wall, but also dug tunnels secretly.
This tunnel was a huge undertaking. It was dug directly from the inner city to the outside. It was deep and long, and it was dug directly from under the city wall to the outside of the city.
The tunnel targeted the two sides of the city wall. Ouyang Li ordered the engineers to dig 20 meters underground before digging out. Every few meters they dug out, they fixed them with wooden piles to ensure that the city wall would not collapse.
The same is true outside the city. However, after digging outside the city, the tunnel was expanded and a large and spacious square was dug out almost underground. The square was also fixed with thick wooden stakes every few meters.
purpose.
The difference is that all the wooden piles in the ground outside the city are connected by a specially made extra-long iron chain.
This iron chain extends all the way to the underground of the inner city and is controlled by an engineering force of more than 10,000 people. They are only waiting for instructions from Ouyang Lixing.
And now, the long-awaited instruction has finally arrived!
The two engineering troops hidden underground in the inner city on both sides of the city wall immediately did not hesitate. They shouted in unison, roared the slogan with all their strength, and tried their best to pull the two thick and strong iron chains.
boom……
Boom boom boom...
The soldiers of the Qingyang Empire who were charging suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the ground, and at this time there was an unusual fluctuation on the ground.
Just as he was wondering why, the messenger soldier who had been responsible for observing the command flags in his own formation suddenly saw that Lord Zheng seemed to have new instructions coming.
That flag seems to be...
The messenger had just discerned Zheng Yuanyun's new order, and was about to report it to the general responsible for commanding the stormtroopers. But at this moment, the vibrations under his feet suddenly became violent, and even...
boom!
The muffled sound suddenly turned into a loud noise. The soldiers who had long sensed that something was wrong were at a loss. They didn't know whether they should continue to rush forward. While they were still hesitating, a large number of soldiers suddenly felt that their feet were empty!
Collapsed!
Everyone was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the ground collapsed in large areas, followed by countless soldiers screaming and falling into the ground as the ground collapsed.
Ladder?
A battering ram?
At this time, it became a murderous weapon that crushed our own soldiers, especially the extremely heavy ram. After falling to the ground with the soldiers, it was unknown how many people were crushed into pulp.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
The subsidence continues.
At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun felt dizzy, and for a moment he didn't know whether to look to the left or the right.
To the left and right... the earth was trembling and collapsing. The whole earth seemed to be boiling, and it seemed like two giant wild beasts had awakened from their slumber, opening their bloody mouths and devouring them wildly.
What was devoured was his elite troops!
Zheng Yuanyun's heart was bleeding.
He didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, but this kind of loss that caused no loss to the other party made him extremely uncomfortable.
These soldiers are all elite soldiers from hundreds of battles!
Even if there is a loss, there should be an equivalent exchange with the other party.
Zheng Yuanyun's ideal equivalent exchange would at least be one for two, or even three!
Chapter completed!
