The first thousand two hundred and seventy-six chapters attack the star city
Chapter 1,276 Attack on Zhongxing City
Bloom frowned, but immediately spoke to the other party with a calm face.
"That's good."
"Prepare for battle, the crossbowmen are ready, and the trebuchets are assumed to be in the city."
Broome gave an order and the entire city was under martial law. The only basic long-range weapons they could rely on now were bows and crossbows, and the man-made trebuchets they built themselves.
As for the city-defending equipment such as bed crossbows, thunder stone rolling wood, gold juice, and kerosene, those that could be taken away were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were all destroyed and would not be left for their use at all.
The trebuchets of the Chinese Empire are all modular, and each one is a standardized trebuchet built through an assembly line. It is extremely fast to assemble. In a short time, thirty trebuchets were assembled and ready for launch at any time.
The assembly of the building cart is a bit troublesome. Although it is also modular, it is much taller than the trebuchet after all, so it has not been completed for a while.
"The trebuchets will attack first with shotguns, and the ladders will postpone the attack until the building trucks are assembled and attack together."
Seeing that the trebuchet was ready, Jia Xu directly ordered the trebuchet to launch shotguns to attack the enemy's city wall.
Thirty trebuchets were launched at the same time, and countless scattered shells floated towards Zhongxing City like a cloud of clouds.
"Shield, defense."
Countless shields instantly appeared on the walls of Zhongxing City, covering them all.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
A series of crashing sounds resounded throughout the city wall, instantly causing everything to go crazy and cause heavy casualties.
"Hold on, you must hold on, no one can retreat."
Seeing the tragic situation on the city wall, Bloom couldn't help but frown. If the enemy kept bombarding like this, he was afraid that these soldiers would collapse directly.
The trebuchets under Jia Xu's command did not stop at all and kept attacking the city wall. Finally, the soldiers on the city wall could no longer resist, their mentality collapsed, and they fled back.
For a moment, the entire city wall fell into panic. When Bloom saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.
"Whose general is this? Go over immediately to comfort him and help me put down the chaos on the city wall."
Broome shouted outside to appease the chaotic soldiers on the wall.
Someone rushed out soon, but it was simply impossible to appease the soldiers and let them continue to die on the city wall.
"I think it's difficult to appease those soldiers. If that doesn't work, let me lead the people up the city wall."
Seeing that the chaos was still there, Parmati also frowned. Trying to calm down the morale in a short period of time after its collapse was simply a fool's errand. The only thing they could do was to change the troops and go to the city wall, so that the originally collapsed soldiers could go down to the city to rest.
"No, your troops and horses are of great use to me. It would be a waste of combat power to go up to the city wall now. Order Kemble, Kazan, and Mulpin to lead their troops up to the city wall, and let the timid ones withdraw to rest."
Bloom shook his head. He was of great use to Parmati's personal guards. After all, the opponent was at the top of the ceiling. He had to wait until the enemy reached the city wall and then kill them. If he got up, he would be hit by shotguns.
, that means the gain outweighs the loss.
"As commanded."
After hearing Bloom's order, Parmati nodded and immediately ordered the three of them to lead their troops to the city wall.
"General, do you really want to go to the city?"
Kemble just wanted to go up the city wall, but was stopped by his lieutenant.
“What can we do if we don’t go to the city wall?
Go, now we can only survive by holding on to the city wall. Once it is breached, every one of us will die in this foreign country."
Kemble's eyes were full of helplessness. If he didn't go up to the city wall, he would be the one who would end up harmed in the end. As for whether General Harrivan was really going to attack Upper and Lower Star City or run away in advance, he couldn't control it. He had to do what he should do.
That's the most important thing.
"As commanded."
After glancing at Kemble, the soldiers under his command did not hesitate and prepared to climb the city wall for defensive operations.
He has no problem here, but the other two generals are a bit difficult to deal with. Everyone knows that the current situation is not good for them. It is not clear whether the general will leave or stay. Now they are not willing to use their lives to fill holes in the city wall.
.
"General, except for Generals Kemble, Kazan and Mulpin, they refused to go up the city wall."
Soon the scouts reported to Broome the situation below the city.
"Sure enough, there is someone with ulterior motives, so I'm going to catch him."
Parmati glanced at Broome, his eyes full of anger. We are all Kushan troops. Now the enemy is about to attack. If you get emotional and don't go to the city wall, this is rebellion and siding with the enemy.
"Take the general's sword and go over. Remember to kill the two men with lightning speed. Don't let them talk too much. Too much talk will make mistakes. Don't give them the chance to incite the soldiers."
Bloom glanced at Parmati and directly handed over Harivan's gem-encrusted scimitar. Having this sword symbolized status and authority. Seeing a sword is like seeing a person. No one can disobey it.
To do otherwise is to defy the empire.
"Yes, I understand."
Parmati took Harriwan's scimitar and left directly, leading the people to Kazan and Mulpin's camps.
"Where are Kazan and Murpin?"
Entering the camp, Parmati directly called their names.
Upon hearing Pama's mention, the two generals did not dare to neglect and came immediately to greet him.
"Get it for me."
Parmati kept Bloom's reminder in mind and did not give the two of them a chance to talk. He directly arranged for soldiers to capture the other party while they were saluting.
"General, what does this mean?"
"Why take us?"
Kazan and Mulpin were puzzled when they were suppressed, and shouted loudly at each other.
"Why did we take you?
Disobeying orders in battle is disobedience. The general has orders, but anyone who dares to go against his will can be killed first and then reported."
Upon hearing the words of the two men, Parmati directly showed Harrivan's saber, and then a cold light flashed, and Kazan's Naodi fell in response.
"Mulpin realizes his mistake and hopes the general will spare his life."
Seeing Kazan being beheaded like this, Mulpin finally knew what it meant to be afraid at this moment. At first, he thought that the other party was just scaring him so that he could lead his troops to defend the city wall. Now it's better, Kazan has already
If you get chopped off, it might be your turn if you don't give in.
"It's too late. If there is one, there will be two. Now if you refuse to go to the city, the next step may be to cause trouble on the city wall and kill you."
Parmati didn't care what the devil you were, he just swung his knife and cut off Mulpin's head.
"This is the consequence of disobeying the general's order. Now everyone is under the command of General Kemble. Anyone who dares to resist the military order will be killed without mercy."
After killing two generals in a row, Parmati was filled with evil spirits, like a tiger that chooses people to devour, ready to kill at any time.
"Follow the general's orders."
"Follow the general's orders."
"Respect the general's order."
The two generals were beheaded, and the soldiers under their command were in panic. When they heard Parmati's order, they saluted directly and respected the order.
"Hurry up and go to town."
After everything happened last night, Parmati came directly to reply to Bloom, saying that the matter had been completely resolved.
"Thank you for your hard work. I guess the enemy will start attacking the city after the construction of the building and carriage is completed. I ordered your subordinates to wear armor and prepare for battle."
"As commanded."
The trebuchets here continuously hit the city wall, suppressing the defenders on the wall until they could not lift their heads.
"Sir, ten trucks have been assembled. Should we continue assembling or attack directly?"
After Lou Che assembled the ten frames, Xu Huang came directly to report the news to Jia Xu.
"Siege the city. The sooner we defeat Zhongxing City, the sooner we can support Upper Star City. I have already ordered the soldiers to destroy all siege equipment before leaving. They now have no defense equipment. The most important thing is that they have no kerosene. I think
There is no hope of resisting Lou Che, cross, that's enough."
Jia Xu nodded and directly ordered the attack.
"promise."
"Dong dong dong."
The sound of drums sounded instantly, shaking the sky.
"The ladders and carriages run parallel to each other, advancing slowly and attacking the city wall, while the trebuchets continue to suppress the city wall."
As soon as the drums sounded and Xu Huang gave an order, the soldiers pushed the carts and began to move forward. The soldiers beside them carried ladders and moved forward with the carts, pressing towards the city wall.
The carts were not moving fast, but they were moving forward. The trebuchets on the city wall of Zhongxing City were so heavy that they could not fight back. They could only watch the carts rush forward.
"General Parmati, prepare to lead your troops to climb the wall. I believe their trebuchet attack will stop when their carriages reach it."
Seeing the enemy's carts coming up to kill them, Bloom not only did not panic, but also looked relieved, because he had long thought that the enemy would use their carts to attack the city, and now that they were attacking, he already had a countermeasure.
"Zunparmati is always ready."
Ten thousand heavy armored infantry are already ready, waiting for the other party's order to attack the city wall.
"The trebuchets stopped shooting, the ladders accelerated, and they rushed into the city."
Seeing that he was approaching the city wall, Xu Huang directly ordered the ladder to attack and attack the city wall first.
"kill,"
"kill."
"kill."
Upon hearing Xu Huang's order, the ladder accelerated and rushed directly to the city wall, set up the ladder, and began to attack the city wall.
"The trebuchet has stopped, counterattack, counterattack quickly."
Kemble directed the battle on the city wall. When he saw the trebuchets stopped attacking, he directly ordered the soldiers to defend themselves.
The Kushan army, which had been suppressed for a long time and was hungry and thirsty, stood up one after another, bent their bows and arrows, and held their spears ready to attack the Chinese army on the ladder.
A fierce offensive and defensive battle was about to break out. Without the suppression of the trebuchets, they also tried their best to defend. Even if the attackers were elite Yokoye troops, it would be difficult to break through the ten-meter-high city wall for a while.
