The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 600
The Hengshan Army has been besieging Xijing City for more than ten days.In addition to shelling and bombing every day, there is nothing else to do.

During this period, the top of the city wall of Xijing was already in a mess, with potholes everywhere, blood and flesh scattered everywhere, and a stench of stench pervaded everywhere.

Although Datta had ordered people to try their best to guard against the opponent's bombardment, the uninterrupted attacks could not be stopped, and the number of casualties was increasing every day.These are not what he is most worried about. After more than ten days of bombing, the morale of the defenders in the city has long been low.They have the courage to fight the enemy, but the enemy does not give them a chance to confront.Trapped tightly in the city, without any sign of reinforcements coming, this cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

Datta patrolled the city and the city every day, constantly encouraging the crowd, but he knew that his encouragement could no longer arouse the echo of the soldiers.It has been more than ten days, and there is no news from Sirius City.He didn't know if His Majesty was gathering troops, or was already preparing to abandon Xijing City, and these people would be regarded as abandoned sons.

At this moment, Datta is extremely hopeful that even one reinforcement can appear in the east, so that the soldiers can see a little hope.But no, the grassland to the east was vast, but no one appeared in it.

In fact, Datta didn't know that Tianlang City sent reinforcements, but the Hengshan Army had already controlled the area of ​​Xijing City for hundreds of miles. The connection between Xijing City and Sirius City.

In the Hengshan camp, Lin Yifan was looking through the information sent from various places.Now, he not only knows the movements of Cao Jun in the south, but also knows that Tianlang City is gathering a large number of troops at this time.Now nearly 30 people have gathered, and they will head west soon.

It's time to get moving.Lin Yifan closed the information with a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

On the second day, Hengshan changed his previous lazy attitude and started to attack Xijing City with all his strength.

One hundred thousand infantry, armed with assembled siege equipment, surrounded the city walls on all sides and launched a full-scale attack.

Datta originally thought that the opponent launched such a powerful offensive because of the pressure from the arrival of reinforcements.Therefore, it inspired the defenders and boosted their morale a lot.Everyone agreed that they would be able to defeat the Hengshan Army in this siege battle, causing them to lose troops and generals, and severely dampen their spirit.

Unexpectedly, the Hengshan Army's offensive was so sharp.As soon as the first siege battle was launched, they quickly advanced under the city wall.Although the defenders were also equipped with a large amount of explosives, for the Hengshan Army who had long been familiar with gunpowder, it was impossible to cause serious trouble to them.

The Hengshan army pushed a large flamethrower to the bottom of the city, and the tall nozzles were erected obliquely upwards.At this time, with a sound of drinking, a powerful jet of burning fire oil immediately spewed out and rushed to the top of the city.

The defenders, who were unable to avoid it for a while, were immediately engulfed in the sea of ​​flames, and after a while, bursts of explosions sounded from the top of the city.It turned out that the kerosene was contaminated with explosives and caused the explosion.With the explosion, fire oil overflowed, forming a large area of ​​combustion on the top of the city.

The fire was raging on the top of the city, and the Hengshan Army was not idle. A group of engineers rushed forward immediately, and quickly knocked out small holes under the root of the city, stuffing explosives as thick as an arm into the holes.

Not long after, with an order, the attacking Hengshan army retreated immediately.And on the stretching matchstick, dots of fire quickly spread to the bottom of the city wall.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang.Thick gunpowder smoke rose from the west wall.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, I saw that part of the city wall had already collapsed in this explosion, forming a piece of ruins.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining three walls made loud roars one after another.As a result, the horns of the Hengshan Army were blared, and one hundred thousand infantry immediately launched an attack.

The crossbowmen lined up and climbed up to the gap.As soon as he saw a figure appearing on the opposite side, he immediately shot indiscriminately.

Behind it, sword and shield soldiers and spearmen gathered into a strict formation, slowly following behind the crossbowmen.

At this time, the city was already in chaos.Before, because of the fire, the defenders could not climb to the top of the city to fight back.Therefore, most of the troops were gathered inside the city walls.But with a huge explosion, a small section of the city wall collapsed, killing many people.But they had no time to grieve for their dead comrades, because what appeared in front of them was a huge gap, from which they could still see the outside scenery.

After a panic, the defenders immediately rushed to the gap to block the enemy under the command of the general.But when they just arrived at the gap, they were immediately shot to death by a burst of arrows, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they quickly fell to the ground, not daring to show their heads.

Hearing the heavy footsteps outside the city, the defending generals knew that if they didn't stop them, it would be too late.Immediately, he ordered his personal soldiers to carry a huge wooden plank, put it in front of everyone, and climb up the gap.The rest immediately carried the broken stones, trying hard to fill the gap.

At this time, the Hengshan Army had also reached the gap, and the crossbowmen immediately withdrew to the sides, leaving the gap to the sword and shield soldiers.

The sword and shield soldiers faced the arrows shot by the opponent. Behind them, a grenadier lit a grenade and threw it into the city.

Then there was a sound of "bang", and the crowd in front suddenly became disorganized.The crossbowmen on both sides immediately raised their crossbows and shot wildly.

An open space was immediately cleared at the gap.Sword and shield soldiers took advantage of the situation and poured in, occupying a favorable location.The crossbowmen on both sides quickly seized the commanding heights, stepped on the ruins under their feet, raised their crossbows, and observed the situation in the city.As soon as someone appears, shoot and kill them on the spot.

After the sword and shield hand entered the city, reinforcements poured in continuously from behind.At this time, the defenders had also arrived, and the two sides fought in the narrow streets.

The Hengshan infantry is the strongest army in the world, and the Donghu people are heavy cavalry and light infantry. Therefore, the Donghu defenders are far inferior to the Hengshan army in terms of combat effectiveness.Even though the defenders were far stronger than the Hengshan Army on the battlefield at this time, they were still beaten and retreated steadily.

The Hengshan infantry were dressed in excellent armor, armed with sharp weapons, coupled with rigorous training on weekdays.In this battle, like a killing machine, it continuously harvested the lives of Donghu people.

At this moment, the sound of heavy horseshoes faintly sounded in the city.Not long after, a cavalry soldier in the city trampled all the way, regardless of the lives of the defenders in front, and rushed towards the Hengshan Army aggressively.

At this time, the Hengshan Army immediately gathered in a dense formation on the street, changing from the original offensive to the defensive.

The Donghu cavalry immediately crashed into Hengshan's formation, causing blood to fly.The Hengshan army formation was immediately overturned, but the cavalry's charge immediately slowed down.Immediately afterward, the soldiers of the Hengshan Army rushed up and stopped the cavalry regardless of life or death, stabbing with knives and spears, not even showing mercy to the horses.

The Donghu cavalry was blocked by this, and immediately showed a disadvantage.The two sides crowded the streets, fighting for every inch of land. The blood on the ground was soon splashed with blood under their trampling.
