February 14th, Gushan County.
The sun rose in the east, and the sun shone brightly.
The sun shone on the outside of Gushan County, reflecting the dazzling light on the armor of the vast army.
The 30,000 allied troops, together with the Duanren County City Guard Division, came out in full force and surrounded Gushan County.
Using storage bags, the allied troops carried a large number of siege weapons.
Hundreds of catapults were pushed to the forefront of the battlefield, lined up in a row, and looked imposing.
Gushan County was only a first-class county. No matter how rich the Shanhai Territory was, it could not afford to install a large number of crossbows on the city walls of Gushan County.
The entire Gushan County was only equipped with four crossbows. Facing the hundreds of catapults of the allied troops, it was insufficient.
"Fire!"
At the command of the commander, hundreds of catapults fired at the same time. Stones filled the sky and poured down on Gushan County.
The huge stones smashed toward the top of the city walls with the momentum of thunder. When they landed, they made an earth-shattering sound.
It was like thunder exploding on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The loud noise alarmed the animals on the edge of the mountains, and they fled into the depths of the mountains.
The scene was spectacular.
Not only that, but among the ordinary stones, there were some stones that had been doused with Fierce Kerosene. After this special stone was ignited, it whistled through the air like a huge fireball.
The whistling fireball was like a volcanic eruption, and the end of the world was coming, which made people tremble.
Such power was almost comparable to that of ordinary cannons.
In ancient times, catapults were also known as cannons, and they were the best siege weapons in the era of cold weapons.
This was the root of the problem.
One step further, catapults could even throw gunpowder weapons, and their power was even more amazing.
The more insidious ones could throw poison or corpses, so that the corpses could spread plagues in the city. This method was extremely vicious, and it could be regarded as the earliest biochemical weapon in ancient times.
No one who was hit by the stones was spared.
The unfortunate soldiers were smashed into meat paste, and the ballistae were smashed to pieces. Even the sturdiest city walls were blasted into small holes by the catapults.
The power of the weapons was evident!
Fortunately, no fixed houses were allowed to be built within 20 meters of the city walls during the planning of the city walls. Usually, only a few temporary vendors or tea shops would stay here to do some small business.
During the war, the stalls and peddlers had long been cleaned up.
Otherwise, over a hundred catapults would be enough to smash this area into pieces.
As the catapults showed their power, the allied forces began to attack the city.
The densely packed soldiers carried simple and crude siege ladders and braved the rain of arrows as they fearlessly charged towards the city walls. Looking from the sky, the allied forces looked like a huge black tide that was about to drown the small Gushan County.
The Third Division was a pure infantry division. It consisted of heavy infantry, pikemen, and swordsmen. The only thing it did not have were crossbowmen, which was extremely disadvantageous for defending the city.
At the critical moment, E Lai could only let the Independent Cavalry Brigade act as the archer brigade. With the cooperation of the City Defense Camp, they barely managed to organize a wave of arrows.
War Wolf noticed the lack of archers on the enemy's side. His spirit was shaken and he repeatedly sent troops to attack the city.
At this point, the allied army successfully attacked the foot of the city wall.
What happened next was their true nightmare.
In just one day, Er Lai had recruited three thousand reserve soldiers.
Although these mountain barbarian warriors were on the battlefield for the first time, they were not afraid to fight. Their only task was to continuously throw logs and rocks down the city walls.
Because the allied forces were too densely packed, every hit was accurate.
As for the soldiers who attacked the top of the city wall, it was naturally left to the Third Division to deal with.
The Third Division was not good at long-range combat, but it was invincible in close combat.
Whether it was heavy infantry or pikemen, all of them were experts in close combat.
Therefore, although the allied forces repeatedly rushed to the top of the city wall, they were stubbornly beaten back by the Third Division again and again.
They rushed forward one wave and beat back the other.
At this time, the top of the city wall was like a meat grinder, which was daunting.
Di Chen stood at a high place and watched the battle in front of him. He could not help but sigh.
"Shanhai City's heavy infantry really lives up to its reputation!"
War Wolf nodded. "It's time for our trump card troops to move out!"
In the second system auction, War Wolf won the Chain Armor Manufacturing Technical Manual, and Di Chen won the Shan Wen Armor Manufacturing Technical Manual. Whether it was the chain armor or the Shan Wen Armor, they were the best of the best.
In a month's time, the two of them used this as a foundation to form their own trump card troops.
Although there was only one battalion, they could not be underestimated.
Especially the Shan Wen Armor, which was one of the best infantry armors.
Di Chen nodded and agreed with War Wolf's judgment.
With a wave of War Wolf's flag, the two trump card troops quickly went out and launched another wave of attacks on the city wall under the cover of the ordinary army.
E Lai stood on top of the city wall, attacking left and right, fighting with great ease. Seeing that the enemy who rushed up this time was well-equipped, he did not care. With a wave of his iron halberd, he swept the enemy off the city wall.
The mountain barbarians' heavy infantry still had the upper hand against the Shan Wen Armor's heavy infantry. They had been through hundreds of battles and were born with extraordinary strength. The so-called "trump card troops" that had just been formed were not taken seriously at all.
The only difference was the difference between one slash and two slashes.
Even so, the two trump card troops still restrained the rhythm of the Third Division.
The allied forces took the opportunity to speed up the pace of their attack.
A large number of soldiers began to successfully climb the city wall and fight with the Third Division.
For a time, danger was everywhere on the city wall.
In the end, the Third Division did not have the advantage in numbers. Just as they finished off one enemy, a new group of enemies appeared on the other side. They could not kill them all, and they were at a disadvantage on both sides.
What was more worrying was that once the allied forces gained a foothold on the city wall, they would be followed by a vast number of follow-up reinforcements.
If they could not repel this wave of attack, the Gushan County city wall would be in danger of falling!
Seeing this scene, E Lai showed his might again.
He waved his halberd and specifically attacked the Shan Wen Armor heavy infantry. Everywhere he passed, no one was spared.
E Lai was an ancient ferocious beast.
When a ferocious beast showed its might, it was as if the King of Hell had come to the world, invincible.
When a ferocious beast was born, there would be a disaster, and it would bring a sea of blood!
In an instant, the Shan Wen Armor heavy infantry suffered heavy losses and were almost crippled.
Seeing their commander show his might, the mountain barbarian soldiers let out beast-like roars. Their eyes turned red, and their muscles bulged. The wild bloodline hidden in their bodies was stimulated, and they instantly turned into wild beasts.
"Berserk! It's actually berserk! "
In the distance, Di Chen and War Wolf were shocked.
That's right, the mountain barbarian soldiers had gone berserk!
After going berserk, the strength of the mountain barbarians increased greatly. They were bloodthirsty and brutal, and they could really kill anyone who stood in their way.
The allied forces that had attacked were scared out of their wits, and they retreated in defeat.
For a time, the control of the city wall returned to the hands of the Third Division.
Seeing that their brothers had gone berserk, the three thousand reserve soldiers were both happy and envious.
Going berserk, this ancient legend among the barbarians, had actually become a reality today.
It should be known that this was the highest pursuit of the mountain barbarian soldiers.
For decades, there were very few mountain barbarians who could go berserk, and all of them were outstanding talents in the tribe.
And now, on this battlefield that was filled with the flames of war, hundreds and thousands of mountain barbarian soldiers had gone berserk together.
The root of all this was Wu Lai.
It was as if he had come from the distant wilderness, and he brought with him the aura of the wilderness, which stimulated the blood of the mountain barbarians. Coupled with the stimulation of the battlefield, everything happened naturally.
"What an unparalleled fierce general!"
Seeing Wu Lai show his might, Old Lian Po could not help but sigh.
Di Chen and War Wolf's expressions were somewhat ugly.
Victory was in sight, but it was resolved by the enemy just like that.
And their trump card troops had basically been exhausted in this battle, and it was already impossible for them to launch a surprise attack.
"My lord, let me go!" Zhao Zhuang asked.
"No!" War Wolf flatly refused.
What a joke, at this time, Wu Lai was simply an invincible existence. Although Zhao Zhuang's martial arts were not bad, it would be useless to go up now. He did not want to lose another general after losing his trump card troops.
"Ah!" Zhao Zhuang let out a long sigh.
As a general, it was really a pity that he could not fight with such a fierce general.
"Retreat, today's attack will end here!" Di Chen was the calmest.
War Wolf nodded and gave the order to retreat.
"My lord, don't worry. Going berserk can only be done once, and after going berserk, there will be repercussions. Today, the enemy has been almost exhausted. Tomorrow, we will definitely be able to take down Gushan County in one fell swoop. "
Lian Po was the most experienced, and his words came true.
"Good!"
After listening to Lian Po's analysis, everyone finally walked out of their dejection.
"Let them live for another day!" Military Kill Ripper's eyes were bloodshot.
Ba Dao cursed and cursed, but at the same time, his heart ached.
In this battle, his City Guard Regiment was the vanguard of the attack, and they had suffered heavy losses.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads!
Ba Dao's heart had begun to waver. Was it right to participate in the battle between the Yan Huang Alliance and the Shan Hai Alliance? Up until now, he had not reaped any benefits, and all he had done was run errands for the Yan Huang Alliance.
More importantly, Ba Dao did not feel the slightest bit of dignity.
In the eyes of the Yan Huang Alliance, he was probably a dispensable chess piece, right?
Or was he a lackey?
Ba Dao smiled bitterly.
The world was difficult, and it was not easy to be a lord!
…
War Wolf silently stared at the city wall not far away, but he felt uneasy.
He was not as optimistic as the others.
Time, the key was still time!
It had been a few days since they entered Lianzhou, and none of the strategic goals had been achieved.
For the next few days, the army of Shanhai City remained silent.
On the surface, it seemed that they were only passively defending and doing nothing.
However, with such a large army and a Divine General like Bai Qi, Shan Hai City's behavior was somewhat abnormal in War Wolf's eyes.
Abnormal, it's strange!
Zhan Lang sighed and silently walked towards the tent.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated, E Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
The Mountain Barbarian soldiers woke up from their berserk state and almost collapsed.
E Lai had already received orders from the High Command to hold the fort.
Two days at most, the variables would arrive.
At this time, in the Northern Wilderness, the Second Division was on a long-distance attack at the fastest speed. (To be continued.)
