Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 129: The Allied Forces Attack the City Frustrated, Comparable to Nightmare Difficulty!

The next three days.

Whether it is Chang'an or the coalition forces, they are all making preparations.

In Chang'an, the Longxiang Legion, Tiance Legion, and City Guard Legion have all been reorganized into place, and the City Guard Legion has even divided their respective defense zones, with brigade commanders, battalion commanders and other key generals.

Stones, rolling logs and other materials for defending the city are also ready.

The coalition forces are also busy resting.

Both sides live in peace.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just the calm before the storm.

.........

It was sunny on March 3.

After a brief period of peace, the cloud of war finally enveloped Chang'an City completely.

The 20 Central Route Army crossed the Xishui River mightily by erecting pontoon bridges, and set up camp on the north bank of the Meiruo River, about [-] miles away from the north city wall of Chang'an, setting up a camp with no end in sight.

Bingfeng pointed directly at the three city gates in the north of Chang'an City.

The 20 East Route Army crossed the Huishui River Bridge like a long snake, and occupied Baishi Town and Haiwan Town to the east of Chang'an City.

About ten miles away from the east wall of Chang'an, they set up camp.

The 20 South Route Army also crossed the Huishui River, occupied Huishui Town and Luoye Town in the south of Chang'an City, and set up camp about ten miles away from the southern city wall of Chang'an.

The 20 West Route Army stationed in Monroe County, and at the same time sent [-] troops to the west of Chang'an City.

There are four armies in the southeast, northwest, and 65.

Will be a city of Chang'an.

Surrounded by water.

If one looks down from a high altitude, the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an City is full of rolling tents, forming an impenetrable net to trap the entire Chang'an City.

The neighing of war horses, the hustle and bustle of soldiers, and the curling smoke from the kitchen constitute the main tone of the camps everywhere.

far away.

You can smell the smell of war in the air.

Not only that.

The [-] North Route Army and the [-] Rear Army also entered their respective battle positions.

There are even 20 reinforcements, which are being assembled in various parts of the alliance in an emergency, and will be sent to the base camp of the alliance in Pelican County in a few days to serve as a reserve team.

Reinforcement can be dispatched to the front line at any time.

In the next two days, the coalition forces were not in a hurry to attack the city, but were busy building camps, while waiting for the follow-up food, siege equipment and other materials to arrive at the front line.

Everything seems to be in order.

It was not until March 3th that the coalition forces launched a tentative attack on Chang'an City for the first time. The first thing that all armies had to face was the moat that stood in the way!
After the excavation of tens of thousands of people, the moat outside Chang'an City has not yet been penetrated.

But the pits have been dug.

There are ditches and piles of soil everywhere, and only the vicinity of the city gate is still well preserved.

Seriously affected the siege operation.

When the 65 coalition forces attacked the city, they still had no choice but to attack the city gate and surrounding areas.

If they want to launch an attack on Chang'an City from other places, the coalition forces can only find a way to move soil and refill the moat that has been dug.

The moat is less than 50 meters away from the city wall.

The workers will inevitably be exposed within the range of the crossbowmen at the head of the city, and they can only fill in with their lives!
If Chang'an hadn't sent the people outside the city to Zunlong Kingdom, then the coalition forces could forcefully recruit farmers on the spot and let the local people come to this journey.

In the face of their own people, whether the defenders of the city will be able to deal with it is really a matter of opinion.

Now!
The coalition soldiers can only play in person.

For three full days, the coalition forces had to forcefully fill in the passages after paying nearly [-] casualties.

After that.

Only then did the first ascending troops, carrying the siege ladder, launch a tentative attack on Chang'an City.

The soldiers of the coalition army who lacked armor protection were like living targets in the face of the densely packed crossbowmen at the top of the city. Before they even rushed to the foot of the city wall, they were often damaged by more than half.

After finally setting up the siege ladder, they have to face the threat of falling rocks and rolling logs.

Ladders were also easily pushed down by defenders with push rods.

The result is.

After a day's siege, the coalition forces lost over ten thousand lives, but none of the soldiers made it to the top of the city.

at this point.

Whether it is the orc army or the sea clan army, they are several times stronger than the coalition army.

It's normal to think about it.

Regardless of the main force of the orcs or the main force of the sea clan, the individual combat power is second-tier or even third-tier, and most of them have experienced many battles, rich combat experience, and fierce fighting styles.

How can it be compared to the first-order coalition fighters who have just transferred from refugees?
Even weapons and equipment.

The orc and sea clan armies are also superior to the coalition forces.

In addition, the two races can be regarded as ancient races on the mainland, with a profound heritage, which is really not comparable to the half-baked new army like the coalition army.

The result is.

Facing the strong city of Chang'an, the million-dollar coalition seemed helpless.

the next day.
Day three.
Day [-]…

The offensive for several days in a row, in addition to increasing casualties, all the coalition forces returned without success.

Chang'an Fortified City.

Like an insurmountable moat, no matter how the coalition forces attack, they will remain steadfast.

This dealt a blow to the confident allied forces, including the lords of the Aztec Alliance, and they really realized——

In the era of cold weapons, how difficult it is to conquer a strong city with a large army stationed there.

The most direct impact is -

Within the entire alliance, a wave of city building suddenly blew up.

in the market.

The price of city wall architectural drawings has also soared.

Before that, most of the lords of other provinces looked down upon the collective city building of the River Valley Province, thinking that they were too conservative.

"The alliance has a million-dollar division, are you still afraid of a hammer?"

The result is also hard to escape the law of true fragrance!
On the other hand, the lords of the River Valley Province saw that the coalition forces were frustrated under the city of Chang'an, and they were even more determined to build the city. They hurriedly recruited more labor and devoted themselves to the vigorous city building operation.

Once the coalition forces' attack is frustrated, they will be the most injured.

Determined.

The construction of the city wall must be completed before the end of the war between the coalition forces and Chang'an.

Build a complete fortification.

While busy building the city, the lords of the entire alliance are also concerned about the same thing——

"How will the coalition force break through the city and break the deadlock?"

.........

Pelican County, the temporary base camp of the coalition forces.

"Chang'an, hey, Chang'an!"

Although he thought he had paid enough attention to Chang'an and the battle of attacking Chang'an City, the huge losses and setbacks suffered by the coalition forces in the siege still shocked Grant, the commander of the coalition forces.

Breaking the city seems to be a very difficult task.

"General, if you want to make progress in the siege, the key is to find a way to suppress the crossbowmen at the top of the city. I suggest urgently building more mobile arrow towers and trebuchets." Staff Mike suggested.

"can."

Grant nodded, "In addition to these, we have to think of some evil tricks, order the frontline troops to try to pollute the water source of Chang'an City, and start tunnel excavation at the same time."

"Yes!"

Mike also agrees that as long as the city can be broken, any method is acceptable.

No morality or immorality.

"and also…"

Grant paused for a moment, and then said: "All the lords of the alliance have seen the siege in the first week. It's not that the coalition forces are not working hard, but the enemy is too strong. Tell the lords of the alliance for me that they want to break the city of Chang'an. Just don’t hide it, don’t be stingy with whatever treasures you have in your hands, and send them all to the base camp.”

"Especially archers, the coalition forces need a lot of archers."

"There are also iron armor and shields, lack of protection, do you really let the coalition soldiers risk their lives?"

"it is good…"

Mike was used to Grant's lion talking loudly.

If Mike was familiar with Chinese history, he should have realized that Grant, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at this time, was very much like Nian Gengyao, the general during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Relying on the reliance of the imperial court, he traveled to the northwest and gradually became a prince.

And because he controlled the most important military force of the imperial court, the core task of "defending foreign enemies" gradually changed in the specific implementation process.

Because the more powerful the "foreign enemy" is, the easier it is for him to seize personal interests.

Based on this, he constantly asked the court for various supports.

The problem is that Nian Gengyao in history was still governed by the rules and regulations of the imperial court. Yongzheng could do the trick of "killing a cunning rabbit and cooking a lackey". What will the alliance use to govern Grant?

No wonder.

Grant will have a "disobedient heart".

.........

September 3, overcast.

When the coalition forces were frustrated in their attack on Chang'an, the system rarely issued a global announcement.

"On April 4st, when Blue Star's access to "Star Boundary" expires for two months, in order to give back to the lord, a global auction will be held to bid for all kinds of rare props. Global lords are requested to get ready and sign up as soon as possible .”

As soon as the news came out, players all over the world were excited.

There is a saying that goes well, "A product produced by the system must be a high-quality product."

The various rare props sold in the mall before were very popular among the lords, but the quantity was very limited, and props like resource bags even had a time limit.

Now that the system has directly launched an auction, things must be better.

Another very important point is that in the first month, the pockets of the world's mainstream lords are dry.Like in Zunlong Country, even a top class like Xiao Zhan can only raise hundreds or thousands of gold coins.

It's different now.

As the mainstream territory entered the village and even the township stage, the gold coin rewards distributed by the system repeatedly made the pockets of the lords slowly bulge without knowing it.

In the township stage alone, the system has accumulatively donated as many as [-] gold coins.

Use sparingly, it is still very impressive.

Therefore, in the face of the upcoming global auction event, many thoughtful lords around the world are already quietly raising money.

The reason is also very simple.

In the global auction, the competition is fierce, and the competition is whose pockets are bigger.

Otherwise why win?
This has also driven up the total demand for gold coins in the global market.

a time.

There are suddenly more people selling things in the markets of various countries, and they all specify that they want gold coins.

Many great lords, especially the head lords of various countries, such as Mu Xi of the Nanyang Alliance and Kaye of the Lieyang Kingdom, are gearing up secretly.

Just waiting for a wave of big moves.
