War was not invented by humans. War existed in the world before humans appeared.
War exists in every corner of the world. As long as there are living beings, there will be fighting and war.
The gene of war exists in the bloodline of every living being.
In the desert, the most terrifying thing is not poisonous snakes or scorpions, but ants.
Wherever the desert army ants pass, they are filled with bones, which is what humans or animals are most afraid of encountering.
Now the 800,000 cavalrymen are playing the role of desert army ants.
Dune Ancient City is larger than Longmen Ancient City, but compared with the cities in Middle-earth, it is more like a small town.
Running east-west, there is a city gate on the east and west sides.
At this moment, the ancient sand dune city was filled with blood.
When about 25,000 heavenly cavalry retreated to the ancient city, there were still hundreds of old, weak, women and children in the city who had not had time to move.
So, the first fight took place in the city.
The Celestial Cavalry took advantage of the darkness and entered through the west gate. They dismounted their horses and waved their cold scimitars at all the living creatures they could see in the city.
Screams and wails resounded in the city and soon disappeared.
Then the city burst into flames.
It seemed that every house was set on fire by crazy celestial soldiers.
Celestial warriors will never adopt a lenient policy towards the places they occupy. Their purpose is to kill and destroy.
Therefore, this kind of war is called a catastrophe in the world.
After the heavenly soldiers killed all the people in the city, they sealed the entrances and exits in the east and west directions. The soldiers all climbed onto the city wall, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
In the dark night, the ancient sand dune city turned into a city of fire, with countless tiny flames on the periphery, like desert army ants quickly surrounding it.
Only when we got closer could we see clearly that they were not army ants, but torches held high by the cavalry.
When 800,000 Chinese cavalry arrived, the heavenly soldiers were already waiting on the city wall.
Seeing the monstrous flames flickering in the city, the human cavalry was extremely angry.
The cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city wall, took out their crossbows and bows, and shot at the heavenly soldiers on the wall.
The soldiers of the heavenly realm were all crouching down, protected by the city wall, and their bows and arrows were not very lethal to them.
The walls of cities in the Western Region are not very high, and Dune City is no exception.
The city wall is only three feet high, but for the cavalry, this height of three feet is undoubtedly a natural chasm.
With 800,000 people taking over the ancient city of Dune, there won't be any problems. The key is time.
If the human cavalry cannot end the battle in the ancient sand dune city before dawn, the main force of the Storm Legion from the heavenly realm will arrive.
Once the main force of the Storm Legion arrives, it will mark the end of this hunting war in human defeat.
This 800,000-strong army was composed of 100,000 cavalry from the Western Regions and 700,000 cavalry from the Beiting Protectorate of China. The commander-in-chief of the Western Regions was named Ali Shi, and he was the third son of the King of Dayuan.
The commander of the Beiting cavalry currently besieging the ancient city of Sand Dune is Guo Changzhuo.
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle.
This Guo Changzhuo is the biological brother of Guo Changyu, the general of Beiting Xiaoqi.
In this desert land, there are two cavalry commanders named Guo, namely Guo Hailong and Guo Haitian.
These two brothers are the two sons of Guo Changyu.
In order to protect the country and protect the world, the Guo family of Beiting Protector, like the Yang family of Zhenxi Army and the Zhao family of Xiting, all the men went to the battlefield.
Guo Changzhuo soon discovered that it was difficult to cause effective damage to the enemies on the city wall through bows and arrows.
The opponent temporarily decided to defend Sand Dune City, but they did not have any equipment to defend the city.
Therefore, Guo Changzhuo ordered the cavalry to dismount and attack the east gate.
Alishi, the commander of the Western Regions Cavalry, led the Western Regions warriors to attack Ximen.
This group of heavenly cavalry is really destined to die. They think that as long as they rely on the strong city wall and stand firm for a few hours, they will wait for reinforcements, and then the human cavalry will flee.
The abacus was very good, but they ignored three points.
First, the human cavalry will take the initiative to attack and block the celestial beast cavalry coming to help.
Their reinforcements will arrive much later than they expected.
Secondly, the heavenly warriors have no experience in defending, especially the cavalry. They only attack, attack, and attack again.
As soon as they entered the city, they began to massacre the city and burned the ancient sand dune city to the ground.
But when they actually stood on the city wall and faced the attack of human warriors, they realized what a stupid thing they had done.
There is no defense equipment! They should immediately dismantle the door panels of each house to make shields, and move the stones used to build the houses to the city wall to use as logs and rolling stones.
Third, they shouldn't have set the whole city on fire so quickly.
Because the ancient city of Sand Dune runs east-west, unlike the square city of Middle-earth, the houses in the city are very close to the city wall, and the thick smoke from the fires in the city is very choking.
Moreover, the flames jumped very high, clearly illuminating the heavenly warriors on the city wall.
However, they have no experience in defending the city and only know how to massacre the city. As a result, they can only squat behind the battlements of the city wall and watch the human soldiers attack the city.
They didn't dare to show their heads yet. Once they did, the flames in the city would clearly illuminate their figures. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen under the city, armed with strong bows and crossbows, would immediately shoot at them with countless arrows.
In this hunting battle, Zhao Zian made many mistakes and delayed the opportunity to fight.
But the soldiers of heaven also made many mistakes.
It also brought the Heavenly side, which had many advantages over the ancient sand dune city, back to the same starting line as the human cavalry.
The city gates in the east and west have been blocked by some rocks and huge trees. It will take some time for human warriors to break open the city gates.
Guo Changzhuoye [81 Chinese website www.81zw.info] is a general who has been on the battlefield for many years. He knows that he is now racing against time. If he breaks the city earlier, the human cavalry responsible for blocking the six-legged beast cavalry will be able to do so.
Lose less.
He ordered the dozens of eight-niu crossbows carried by the general to be quickly assembled.
After the Eight Ox Crossbow is assembled, it will not shoot at the enemies on the city wall, but on the city wall.
Soon, eight-foot-long crossbows were nailed to the city wall.
The human warriors held scimitars between their teeth, grabbed the crossbows nailed to the city wall, and climbed upwards.
Soon some human warriors jumped onto the city wall, but there were not many of them, and they were all quickly killed by the heavenly soldiers.
When the heavenly soldiers stood up to fight with the human warriors, the sharpshooters under the city wall took the opportunity to shoot.
When more and more human soldiers climbed up the city wall, the human soldiers could no longer shoot arrows at the city wall. They could only raise their angles and shoot arrows into the city to suppress the enemy forces in the city.
The sound of killing, the sound of bow strings vibrating, the sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of thousands of horses galloping, the screams before death, the sound of the city gate crashing, the wails of the wounded, and the sound of the roaring flames... countless kinds of things.
The voices gathered together to perform war scenes that had not changed for thousands of years.
