The ending has not yet been settled, so it is unknown who can laugh to the end. But what can be confirmed now is that the Bran soldiers on the city wall are laughing happily!

Originally, seeing the gray-clothed army was pressing down on at least 100,000 soldiers, the Bran soldiers on the city wall were ready to face a difficult battle to defend the city, and even mentally prepared to break the city. Unexpectedly, they saw a farce of digging a pit...

Soon, amid the ridicule of ridiculous laughter, the rows of gray-clothed soldiers who entered the open space in front of the city disappeared from everyone's sight, digging a hole and entering the ground, only shovels were raised from time to time, pieces of soil were turned out, and a burst of dust enveloped the spot.

Slowly, the laughter on the wall gradually disappeared. A tone of doubt came from somewhere, "Hey, they seem... uh, getting closer and closer?"

Indeed! Under the dust and ashes, underground passages that were winding like snakes were constantly approaching the corner of the wall. Seeing this, the Bran soldiers couldn't help looking at each other again - what's the point of doing this?

No one knows. But at this time, even the pig knows that the situation is not normal at the moment. After all, the enemy is constantly approaching, which is an indisputable fact!

Looking at the winding tunnel, Commander Bran frowned and looked entangled. Even if he thought about all the tactics in his mind, he could not find a siege tactic that needed to be dug... No matter! Since he couldn't see it, then try to fight it out.

He waved his hand decisively and looked at the soldier who was controlling Thor's Hammer on the side: "Attack!"

As we all know, Thor's Hammer has a very wide attack range. Although it cannot reach the gray-clothed army that intends to stop several miles away, it is still completely fine to cover the tunnel that is constantly approaching.

The thunderbolt. Three thunder hammers roared and roared. A flash of flames instantly shot out from the trembling metal muzzle. However, just as the huge explosion crystal leaped into the air, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded through the open space, and then,

Boom...boom...boom...boom...

The earth trembled, and the air waves were filled with dust and soil soared into the sky, sprinkling and falling, and their power was really amazing.

There is no doubt that the Thunder Hammer, as the pinnacle of Bran's alchemy craft, naturally did not think so. If the gray-clothed army clearly showed that the carriages and horses adopted regular siege tactics, this round of artillery fire would basically be explained here.

But now,

The cold wind blew over and the dust dissipated. Except for the three huge scorched earth pits, the winding tunnels still appeared in everyone's sight with great cliffhanger. After a pause, the shovel was raised again, and pieces of soil continued to be turned out... Everything was as usual, just as nothing had happened just now.

Bang! He punched the wall bricks, and the commander's face suddenly turned pale.

At this time, not only him, but also some veterans were wondering. The greatest power of Thunder Hammer is of course the explosion. If one by one, even the advanced warriors will have no corpse. However, on the battlefield, the greatest damage of Thunder Hammer is the large-scale circular air wave that rolls out after it explodes. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is swept or even wiped, you will immediately experience the supreme speed of flying people in the air and freely disintegrating in the air...

However, now, the gray-clothed soldiers fell into the tunnel just before the explosion. In this way, as long as they were not hit by the Thunder Hammer with extremely bad luck, the large area of ​​air waves whizzing through the ground would naturally not hurt them hiding in the pit!

Damn, how did these untouchables think of this method... Seeing that the Thor Hammer, who was invincible on the battlefield, lost its power, the Bran soldiers on the wall were a little panicked, with a look of shock that could not be concealed. Some retired veterans who had been on the front line even thought that if the Northern Wilderness barbarians knew this method, could the Bran border line relying on various Thor series of Thor's series of cities still defended?

After shivering, Commander Bran came to his senses and subconsciously shook his head, it was not right! There must be flaws in this method... I thought of something, and the commander suddenly lit up when he looked at the curved tunnel. Yes, there were not many untouchables who dug the pit. If he took the initiative to open the city gate and send troops to attack...

This method is indeed a right medicine, but as soon as the idea arose, the commander looked up at the brigade of archers bent down the archers behind the tunnel, and his heart felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head, which made him cool down halfway.

Obviously, the gray-clothed army had long considered the flaws of this tactic and sent archers to escort the rear. If we came here without hesitation, we might have been nailed to death by these countless arrows before we could rush to the tunnel!

Fuck! The bombing was useless and I couldn't rush out. Commander Bran held the wall brick tightly and was completely entangled. After a while, he took a deep breath. Yin Qi looked at the tunnel that was constantly approaching, barely suppressed his depression, and secretly became ruthless: Damn! Dig it, dig it. Do you want to see what you want to do? Don't forget, after getting close, we also have bows and arrows, city guard crossbows...

I have to say that this commander is not a fool. Although he can't guess the intention of digging a pit tactic, he can see the weakness of this tactic at a glance - the tunnel can indeed avoid the bombing of the Thunder Hammer, but when these tunnels approach a certain area, there are bows and arrows covering the attacks, city guard crossbows, etc., and a shot is not even hidden under the tunnel.

However, will that scene really happen as expected?

...

"Old Ou often said that war is a competition between the comprehensive combat power of large-scale forces, and there is no such thing as this. However, sometimes there will be some individual variables that affect the trend of the battle and even determine the outcome of the battle. For example, a practical battlefield killer is like the Thor's hammer many years ago, and like the purple-bore cannon that is now in our hands..."

After a moment of pause, Frey continued, "Because such a killer that emerged from nowhere will change many things, and the emergence of some new tactical strategies specifically used to cooperate with it, etc., often catch the opponent off guard. For example, now, even if the opponent's commander wants to break his head, how can we know that we are digging a hole to move forward in order to send the purple-bore cannon they don't know into the attack range..."

Speaking of this, suddenly, boom boom boom... It was like the thunder in the sky kept rolling, and the sound was intimidating. Needless to say, this was of course the roar of the Thunder God Hammer in the distance. Although the commander had secretly made up his mind to wait, he still inevitably felt a little panic as he watched the curved tunnel approaching.

This is the most terrifying truth about the so-called unknown! It is also because of this. Such hysterical bombing methods have been adopted. As for the result, whether to dig or dig the soil, whether to get close or continue to get close, there is no change.

"Haha..." As if feeling the anxiety of the other commander, Frey smiled and waved his hand to the wall of Shanhai City, with a firm and confident look, "The first battle is won!"

That's right, this is the real first battle for the Gray-Clothed Army. As for the previous breakthrough of the blockade, it was just an appetizer for warming up before the war.

Although the war had not started yet, we had booked the victory in advance, which seemed a bit arrogant and careless. However, Joshia and others around us did not look any unexpected. Even Feiri changed the subject and asked curiously, "Is it just a battlefield killer? What about that person? Uh, I mean the kind of hero who can decide the victory and defeat alone."

This is the so-called difference between an expert and an outsider. Feirui is good at logistics management, but he is a completely amateur in combat command. In his opinion, compared to the battlefield killing weapons that kill all directions, the heroes who emerged from nowhere are undoubtedly more attractive, more legendary, and more in line with the aesthetic concepts of laymen.

Frey did not laugh at this kind of layman concept. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly: "That's right, huh, the war god Ziyi. As long as he stands there, it will be an impeccable perfect strategy!"

Although he was a life, it was difficult for Frey, who had been wasting more than ten years of time, to reach the peak of military affairs, but if he could make him work so hard and even a little stingy, he knew that Zi Yi's supreme position in the hearts of all the soldiers!

This position is unquestionable. Even Fei Rui, who is not good at military affairs, was silent when he heard this. He sighed softly after a while, with a look of gratitude: "It's good, it's good... Zi Yi is dead, and we have no big enemy, otherwise it would be hard to say when we come out this time..."

The senior executives of the Gray-Clothing Army couldn't help but nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and looked glad. As a Bran, it would be impossible to say that they would not worship Zi Yi. But the other party was the Bran military god, not the Grey-Clothing Army's military god. If Zi Yi was still alive, then he would be the enemy of the Grey-Clothing Army!

Joshia's face was a little strange. Of course, she knew that the purple cannon was from Zi Yi's hands. Now, listening to these words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and waved her hand to stop Feiri's not-so-polite attitude: "The battle is coming, don't talk about these..." She squinted her eyes and looked up at the bent pit, changing the topic, "How is it, the distance is almost the same."

Frey reached out to measure and nodded: "It's barely enough, well, let's do it. If you move forward, you will enter the range of the large city guard crossbow."

After saying that, he waved his hand back. More than a hundred figures who had been waiting for a long time quickly jumped out of the archer camp, carrying something on his back and jumped into the tunnel. Then he ran quickly in the tunnel like a gopher, and disappeared into the ground in an instant.

On this side, Frey nodded to Joshia and others, looked upright, and urged the horse to walk in front of the formation. No matter how you despise it before, it was fine, but when the real battle was really not easy and careless.

The sword was already in hand, and there was no need for any movement. When Frey entered the front army formation, the iron and bloody aura instantly filled the sky, like a dark cloud covering the top of the mountain, sea and city walls several miles away.

If a person kills more people, he will naturally have the confidence to ignore all living beings. If an army has seen the battlefield of Qikuo and won many battles, he will naturally have the edge of being as still as a mountain and looking down on the world!

With a loud bang, the city wall garrison army gathered by many miscellaneous soldiers had never seen such a tragic formation, and suddenly became turbulent. Then, under the scolding of officers of all levels, he returned to silence and quietness. He grabbed the weapons in his hands tightly, swallowed his saliva, staring at the gray-clothed army slowly mobilized in the distance.

Alas... Commander Bran couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this. It was clear that this battle was hanging. Although the defending party had a natural advantage, the casualty rate was three times and four times, it was normal. But it also depends on the quality of the soldiers on both sides. The gang of mobs who had previously thought were untouchable thugs now seemed to be a army of battles. On the other hand, the miscellaneous soldiers with varying quality on their side had long been suppressed...

Forget it, for nothing, then lower the target. As long as you last for two days, no, for a day and a half, you will complete the delay task. Then you will lead your troops to retreat... With this plan, Commander Bran took a deep breath and stared at the moving army in the distance with bright eyes. He entered the state of war.

It was about to break out! All the sights on the wall, including the raised metal cannon barrel, were watching the moving army in the distance. However, at this moment, suddenly,

The bulbs...there were muffled sounds suddenly sounded under the nose like a war drum, and then countless fireballs spread across the walls and instantly filled every inch of the corner of the line of sight.

What? This is the first reaction!

Where did it come out? This is the second reaction!

The next moment, the cold sweat spread across Commander Bran's forehead, and suddenly realized what he had forgotten, the winding and unaware of the tunnel... Suddenly, he lowered his head and saw hundreds of dense metal pipes at the forefront of the curved tunnel. It seemed like hollow bamboo cut from the root. The hole was facing this side, and the light of flames jumped out from time to time...

What? Going back to the first reaction again, it seems like a cycle of dead knot. Unfortunately, he will never have the chance to untie this dead knot again.

Boom... Thunder exploded beside me, and a buzzing sound in my ears. The first target of attack, the metal cannon tube of Thunder Hammer raised high not far away, was suddenly swept into the wave of fire and disappeared in an instant...

Boom... Then there was a densely placed large city-guarding crossbow, and the flames exploded. The faint sound of the strings broke like the moment when a moth rushed into the flames, and whizzed. Several thick arrow branches were released randomly because of the strings broke. Some shot directly into the sky, some shot flat on the battlements, and fell down the high city wall with several soldiers...

Boom... Suddenly, the commander who turned around in a daze felt his body floating a little and instantly flew away from the wall.

Looking back, the place I just stood had become a scorched earth pit, with several personal guards scattered around me who had escaped. They were looking at this side with their eyes scattered, stretching out their hands in vain, opening their mouths and shouting something... But I couldn't hear at all...

Immediately afterwards, my eyes raised and I saw the continuous city wall completely covered by the thick smoke. I also saw countless soldiers falling down the wall like dumplings, dancing around my limbs, as if drowning, ridiculous...

Then, his eyes swung and the scene suddenly changed. A few miles away, the gray-clothed army crossed the tunnel like a black torrent, flooding the open space, and charging wildly... Finally, his body hurt all over his body, and endless darkness attacked...

...

No one knew that under this sudden artillery fire, the highest commander of Shanhai City City Defense had quietly died. Of course, no one would care about it... because, the outcome of this battle was completely decided after a short moment of the battle.

The city wall defense suffered a fatal blow and could not organize an effective offensive at all. The sparse arrow branches could not block the fierce charge of tens of thousands of infantry soldiers of the front army of the gray-clothed army. Wait for the purple-bore cannon to easily turn the gun mouth, and after a round of concentrated fire crashed into the main gate, everything would come naturally.

The towering city walls, heavy city defense weapons, advantages to defending the city... After the purple-bore cannon emerged, it was destroyed in ashes!

When we entered the inner city, we met on a narrow road, and the basic thing we were fighting for was the quality of individual soldiers. One side was like a wolf or a tiger, and the morale was long. The other side was full of miscellaneous soldiers, at a loss, and the result was naturally imagined...

After a brief tug of war, the devastated Western city wall was first broken. A large number of gray-clothed troops pouring into the city were divided into several routes, along the main road in the city, and rushed towards the other three fronts of the city defense. It was obvious that they would take over the city in a short period of time. The people left behind were clearing the remaining soldiers on the Western city wall, while chasing them into the city, encircling and suppressing the gatekeepers who retreated in the first time, or fled without fighting.

After a few days of desertion, this city, known as the city of northern commerce, finally became lively again. However, this time, the traffic of caravans was not the traffic of caravans on the streets and alleys, but a series of brief encounters, hunting or counter-chasing, and the sound of metal weapons colliding from time to time, sparks mixed with blood splashing, and excited roars and screams mixed with wails... In just a short moment, the city fell into chaos and hustle and bustle.

As a northern commerce city, the area of ​​Shanhai City is naturally more wider than that of large cities in the ordinary sense. So after a moment, nearly half of the people in the gray-clothed military and civilians staying outside the city flocked in, occupying various roads, and did not look too crowded.

Of course, by this time, the Bran soldiers, who were not even in the upper hand, naturally collapsed on the whole line. In fact, before the gray-clothed soldiers completely occupied the other three city walls, the frightened Bran soldiers had already opened the city gate privately and fled.

The defeat is like a mountain of fall! In such a situation, even if the military god Ziyi is reborn, all she can do is sigh to the sky.

On the main road near the city square, I could no longer enjoy the speed of charging. Frey turned around, licked his dry lips, and shouted, "Go, send someone to occupy the city warehouse first, the city lord's mansion... By the way, there are maps! The first time I entered the city, don't find me the wrong place..."

"Yes!" The so-called map is naturally the credit of Tang En, or more accurately the credit of the secret agency. In order to welcome the gray-clothed army to revenge, all preparations have been done to the extreme.

Continue to shout, "Also, mobilize two regiments of troops to surround the Dongcheng noble district and the security hall, especially be careful of those noble private soldiers... Well, transfer twenty purple-carred cannons over, and if you resist, kill them without any hesitation!"

"yes!"

He slapped his forehead, "Where is the general army? Where is the commander of the general army... You are? OK! I will give you a quarter of an hour and order your subordinates to run for me. They must cover every urban area and every street... If you encounter disturbing people, you will be arrested directly, burn, kill and looters, and behead them on the spot! Go!"

"yes!"

"And..." He looked up at the sky and nodded slightly solemnly, "Yeah, it's almost done. Send the order and wait until the battle on all the city walls is over, and everyone will open their meals on the spot."

"Well?"

"What are you doing when you stand there? You have to fight a war, and of course you have to eat lunch. Go quickly and go quickly..."

"yes……"
Chapter completed!
