Otherworldly Proud

Chapter 210 Confrontation

After Long Aotian came here, he began to pay close attention to the movements of the Yanyang Emperor's army on the opposite side. Seeing that they were starting to gather troops at this time, it was obvious that Long Aotian was preparing to launch an attack, while others were Dismantle the fortifications, those fortifications are very obstructive to today's war.

Gradually, the Yanyang Empire's army also began to approach Qinglong Pass gradually. It was not until dawn that their troops all moved to the periphery of Qinglong Pass and surrounded the entire Qinglong Pass. Obviously, they had prepared for it from the very beginning. Use all-out attack and be ready to press across the board.

Seeing this scene, the defenders of Qinglong Pass tensed up. They had never experienced a siege by a million troops, and they were a little nervous and worried. If they hadn't built fortifications in advance I am afraid that facing the attack of millions of troops, even Qinglong Pass will not be able to last long.

Seeing the reinforced city wall, the defenders felt a little bit of stability in their hearts, and immediately began to pay attention to the opponent's movements nervously, waiting for the general's order and then giving the opponent a fatal blow.

Yamamoto Puppy regretted not sending someone to harass him when he saw the city wall of Qinglongguan. If he had sent someone to harass him, they wouldn't have passed so quickly, but regretting it now is useless , I could only take a hard look at the defenders of Qinglong Pass and order people to beat the drums to attack.

With the sound of deep drums, the soldiers of the Yanyang Empire's army suddenly burst into shouts, and the momentum reached a peak in the shouts of killing. The soldiers of the vanguard group in front were all carrying ladders and waiting to attack Ji Ji rushed towards the direction of Qinglongguan with a noise.

There are more than 80 people who launched the charge this time, and the rest are some cavalry. After all, it is now in the siege stage that the cavalry is useless at all, so they are all waiting for orders in the rear.

More than 80 people rushed towards the Qinglong pass, looking at the enemy army outside the pass like a black wave, the defenders tensed their nerves, and their palms were all tensed. Consciously burst out a trace of fine sweat.

One can think about the momentum of the charge of nearly a million people. The huge scene made Long Aotian feel the blood in his whole body boil.

Soon they rushed to the outer edge of the moat, and had already reached the shooting range of the giant crossbows, so Long Potian gave an order, and nearly a hundred giant crossbows shot towards the target together.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers of the Yanyang Empire rushed to the front were killed. Basically, there were no less than two enemy corpses on each crossbow, which showed how powerful this giant crossbow was.

But it is a pity that the number of this giant crossbow is limited, and the production of so many is basically the limit, and the operation is very complicated, not suitable for mass production, and once the opponent rushes to the city, this giant crossbow will be destroyed. It can't exert its due power, and the frequency of firing is very low. Basically, there is a long interval between each firing. Using this time, the enemy can rush forward for a long distance , seems a bit tasteless.

Now the soldiers on the opposite side are obviously not scared off by the giant crossbow. After such a long time of fighting on both sides, they also know the characteristics of this giant crossbow, so they continue to rush forward, and the troops in front begin to use the equipment they carry with them. Started to build a temporary suspension bridge to connect the two sides of the moat.

The defenders on the city aimed at those places to interfere and 'shoot' the enemy, hoping to hold back the enemy's footsteps. Before the battle, Long Potian also gave the order to die. As long as the purpose is not to kill the enemy but to block the enemy, it is to do everything possible to delay the enemy's attack.

In the past, the giant crossbows were generally 'shot' towards the crowd in order to cause maximum damage, but now that the strategy has been changed, the soldiers of the Yanyang Empire felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Under the interference of the giant crossbow, the pace of the attacking army suddenly slowed down. After seeing this situation, the Yamamoto puppy in the defense was filled with anxiety. Now they are racing against time.As long as they capture Qinglong Pass within these three days, they will be considered a complete victory. If they fail to capture it, they will not only have to retreat, but also have to starve.

So seeing this situation, Yamamoto puppy frowned tightly.Looking at the moat like a ribbon in front of him from a distance, the eyes of Yamamoto Puppy suddenly lit up, and immediately called for all the water magicians in the magician army, and then put those high-level magicians under heavy protection. Drive down to the edge of the moat.

He planned to let these magicians freeze the river water in stages for the soldiers in front to pass through, and after the soldiers charged, the people behind would build a suspension bridge.Generally speaking, water magicians above level five can use ice magic, an evolved version of simple water magic.

Therefore, these magicians are all above level five. Originally, the Yanyang Empire was rich in fire magicians. This kind of water magicians that are opposite to the fire system is very rare, and there are even fewer magicians who have reached such a high level. Therefore, Yamamoto The puppy sent the elite among the elite to protect the safety of these magicians.

Although usually these water magicians are not taken seriously, but now they receive the greatest protection and suddenly become a sought-after item.

After the water magicians arrived, they began to chant spells quickly, gradually forming ice spells one by one, and began to freeze the water in the moat.

The guards of Qinglongguan immediately set their targets on these magicians after discovering this situation. At the same time, Long Potian also ordered the catapult to aim at those frozen places and smash the ice on the river.

Despite the protection of the most elite soldiers, under the attack of the giant crossbow, a few magicians unfortunately turned into candied haws. The Yamamoto puppy behind him felt distressed. These magic moments are the treasures of the army. I didn't expect to lose so much by crossing the moat.

In the end, after the Yanyang Empire lost nearly one-third of its senior magicians, they finally broke through the defense line of the moat one after another, and then gradually built a suspension bridge.And the catapult at Qinglongguan also stopped firing, and it was meaningless to throw it any more, and even wasted a lot of ammunition.

When the opponent just broke through the moat, the soldiers of the Vanguard Legion were ready to go out, and when the opponent broke through the next line of defense, it was time for them to go out to kill the enemy, so at this time Long Aotian led those soldiers all down the city wall, Prepare to wait for the order to charge.

Seeing the soldiers of the Yanyang Empire rushing towards him, Long Potian immediately ordered the archers to prepare to shoot with their bows and arrows, and soon the soldiers who attacked the city reached the shooting range of the archers. A rain of arrows poured down, killing a large number of Yanyang Empire soldiers in an instant.

The soldiers on the other side stopped charging immediately when they saw this, and then the sword and shield soldiers behind rushed up, holding their shields against the rain of arrows and rushed down the city. Soldiers with siege equipment slowly approached the city wall of Qinglong Pass.

Seeing that the opponent was already approaching the city, the gate of Qinglongguan opened wide.The soldiers of the vanguard group rushed out quickly under the leadership of Long Aotian, rushed together with the soldiers of the other side, and started a confrontation.

In fact, the role of the soldiers of the Vanguard Group in defending the city is very small, and their lethality to the enemy is also very low. The reason why they are sent out first is that these people are all death row prisoners, and there will be no pity if they die. , The second is because this can also delay the opponent's progress and give the opponent a little resistance. After all, when attacking the city, those who rush ahead are armed with tools. In this case, they can also destroy their engineering equipment.

To put it bluntly, the members of these vanguard groups are veritable cannon fodder, and they can't play much role if they are kept on the city wall, so they can only play this role. They are all destroyed, because in general large-scale battles, the city gates will be closed after they rush out, so there is no way out.Facing the attack of so many people on the other side, they have no possibility of surviving.

Soon the tens of thousands of vanguards rushed out, and the city gate behind them closed with a creak. Facing the charging enemy, every soldier in the vanguard was full of death. It is definitely impossible for them to survive such a battle, so everyone rushed up like a lunatic. They had no choice. If they rushed up, the archers on the wall behind would shoot them to death.

Rather than dying like this, it is better to kill vigorously, so I saw that after they rushed up, no matter what the opponent reacted, they just slashed with all their strength, and then were hacked to death by the opponent.

Basically, they all adopt a one-for-one style of play. After killing one of the opponents, they are hacked to death by several opponents. However, this also effectively slows down the opponent's charge time and gives the city wall The archers on the ground won precious time and gave the opponent more lethality.

After Long Aotian rushed out and saw so many soldiers on the other side, his scalp felt a little numb. Even if so many people stood up and asked Long Aotian to kill him, his hands would be weak in the end. Besides, Long Aotian's goal was not to kill people. , Long Aotian mainly went to find those soldiers who were holding siege equipment such as ladders.

Long Aotian's idea is to destroy their siege tools as much as possible, which will relieve a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city.
