After two consecutive days of high-intensity fighting, both Persia and the players were exhausted. The two sides launched extremely brutal offensive and defensive battles in these two days. The Persian catapults could not perform as they should because of the players' three-bow crossbows.
Although his strength is very strong, his own experience in sieges is extremely demanding. In addition, the general has experienced hundreds of battles and has commanded his troops to launch sieges against Fengxiang City several times.
The players in Fengxiang City also fought hard, but when players faced such a war, they were not even considered recruits. If this were in reality, the players might have collapsed long ago. Fortunately, this was in a game, and the players were all
You know, if you die, you will lose some martial arts proficiency experience and so on.
Even so, in the afternoon of the next day, the Persian army almost broke through the gate of Fengxiang City. At that time, the Persian army assembled more than a dozen rams, led tens of thousands of swords and shields, and launched an attack on the gate of Fengxiang City.
During the attack, the gate of Fengxiang City was almost breached. Fortunately, Zeng Yi and the men from the Blood Clothes Guard rushed back at that time.
Ever since they attacked the Persian transport convoy, the blood-clothed guards have been wandering outside, waiting for the second wave of supplies from Persia. However, after receiving news from Fengxiang City, the Persians launched a fierce attack. They had no choice but to take the blood-clothed guards with them.
Wei rushed back to support.
Fortunately, Zeng Yi and the others rushed back the next day. When they dared to go back, it happened to be a critical moment. They saw that the Persian army was about to break through the city gate. Zeng Yi knew very well how powerful the Persians were. Relying on the tall city wall,
With the powerful three-bow bed crossbow, the players are still at a disadvantage. If the Persians attack Fengxiang City, not to mention the losses to Fengxiang City, the players will most likely be completely defeated.
At that time, Zeng Yi did not hesitate at all, and immediately led more than 2,000 blood-clothed guards and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, including a dozen assault vehicles and tens of thousands of sword and shield soldiers.
The Blood-clothed Guards heavy cavalry once again showed its abnormal strength. Those sword and shield soldiers could not withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry. Their formation was instantly broken up by the Blood-clothed Guards. At this time, a trembling wind broke out in Fengxiang City.
, couldn't help it anymore, and immediately led tens of thousands of players, rushed out of Fengxiang City, and fought with the Persians, whose formation was already in chaos.
In the end, they paid a great price and finally blocked the Persian offensive. When the sky gradually darkened, the Persians took the initiative to retreat.
In the two-day battle, the Persians left tens of thousands of corpses. This was an extremely heavy loss for the 100,000-strong Persian army. However, the players suffered even greater losses. According to statistics from Fengyun Tianxia and Tianxiang Guild, the two
In the Grand Guild, a total of 30,000 players died once. In reality, this can be regarded as one-third of the casualties, and it can be regarded as the combat effectiveness of injuries.
After a quick rest, Zeng Yi and the Xueyiwei did not return to Fengxiang City, but ran to the western region of the Western Region again. The Persians suffered 10,000 casualties, and the losses were not small. They must be in urgent need of supplies. Zeng Yi and others were aiming for the other side.
As for the transport team, the current situation is that once the Persians receive sufficient supplies, the players in Fengxiang City will be the unlucky ones.
The Persians monitored the movements of Fengxiang City. In fact, Zeng Yi also sent blood-clad guards to monitor the situation of the Persian camp. On the second night after Fengxiang City paid a heavy price to withstand the Persians, the Persian camp
A dozen fast horses quietly left the camp and headed straight for Persia.
Zeng Yi had not thought about leaving those dozen people behind, but after leaving the Persian camp, those dozen people separated. Basically, they were divided into several groups and went to different roads.
There were not enough manpower to follow, so Zeng Yi had no choice but to give up this plan and let the following blood-clothed guards follow one of the groups and look for opportunities to capture them.
The blood-clothed guards sent to monitor were all top-notch experts, and it was easy to deal with a few Persian scouts. That day, those guys captured two Persians and went to fight with Zeng Yi and other large forces.
From the captured two scouts, Zeng Yi and others learned that the Persians concluded that the main reason for the failure of this powerful offensive was the inability to use the catapult. If they want to use the catapult, they must solve the problem of Feng Xiang
There are three crossbows on the city wall. The Persians plan to mobilize a batch of rockets from the Persian Empire.
Only then did Zeng Yi and others learn that last time, the Persians had actually mobilized rockets once, but they had accidentally destroyed them.
Zeng Yi instantly frowned when he heard the rocket. The three-bow bed crossbow uses a lot of wood. Like all instruments made of wood, it has the same weakness of being afraid of fire. Although now Fengxiang City's three-bow bed crossbow, every
Everyone is protected, but if the Persians really get a large number of rockets and rain of arrows in the sky, let alone others, even Zeng Yi will be helpless.
The fourth child also frowned, "It's not just the three-bow crossbow. If the Persians really have enough rockets, the interior of Fengxiang City will be in trouble."
"We can't let the Persian army get the rocket!"
Zeng Yi discussed with the boss and others for a while and decided to sneak into Persia directly. It is not an option to always rob halfway. If there is a slight oversight, the Persian army on the front line may get enough rockets, and they can only get them from the source.
, it is possible to solve the future troubles at once. Zeng Yi and others estimated that if the Persians launched a large-scale military operation such as the Eastern Expedition, they would definitely establish supply points in the eastern region of the Persian Empire. Otherwise, where would the transportation from the Persian capital to the front line be?
Supplies, the journey is too long.
The rockets of the Persians are very different from those of the Central Plains. The rockets of the Central Plains have four parts: arrows, arrow shafts, fletchings and cartridges. The cartridge shell is made of bamboo tubes or cardboard tubes, and the inside is filled with gunpowder.
The upper end of the barrel is closed, the lower end is open, and a small hole on the side of the barrel leads to the fuse. After ignition, the gunpowder burns in the barrel, producing a large amount of gas, which is sprayed backward at high speed, producing forward thrust. Such a rocket is so powerful that it cannot produce flames, and its speed is also very fast.
It is extremely fast and can even penetrate heavy armor. In fact, this is the prototype of modern rockets. The gunpowder barrel is equivalent to the propulsion system of modern rockets. The sharp arrows have the lethality to penetrate the human body and are equivalent to the warhead of modern rockets. The tail end is installed
The arrow feathers play a stabilizing role in flight and are equivalent to the stabilization system of modern rockets. The arrow shaft is equivalent to the body structure of modern rockets.
But there is a problem. The cost is too expensive, especially gunpowder. With the current technology of the Central Plains, it is impossible to mass-produce such rockets. Even the Central Plains cannot afford such rockets.
Persian rockets are much cheaper in comparison. Their rockets use kerosene, which can be found everywhere in Persia. Although such rockets cannot provide thrust like those in the Central Plains, their combustion effects are excellent and can
It can be called a burning arrow. (To be continued)
