Chapter 704: The war continues to rise, Nagumo Part 1(1/2)
Amidst the whining sound, the heavy city gate slowly opened. Wang Tianhua led tens of thousands of troops and rushed out of the city gate, pushing the heavy slaves lined up under the city wall to the moat.
Eight thousand heavy slaves were arrayed under Nanyun City, and they were also lined up in a terrifying formation of long snakes.
In front of them was a thick shield array, providing absolute protection for the heavy slave camp.
Although war is scary, the army in front of Nanyun City has been fighting in the wasteland for a year, and they can really feel the breath of death.
Now that they are back in the main city, their confidence has increased countless times. How can they still be afraid of the opponent's attack?
Both sides are looking forward to a big battle!
The army in Nanyun City all wanted to test whether this newly built city wall could withstand the attack of the Nanhai army, and the Dahai army could not wait to attack the opponent's main city!
Now, the only option is to fight desperately!
Without any communication, the army under Nanyun City Wall has long been familiar with it. Everyone understands the importance of today's battle, and everyone wants to repeat it today to eliminate more of the opponent's effective forces.
The Nanhai army on the wasteland is also slowly advancing. For them, every step forward is closer to victory.
Yun Zhongchen looked at General Yun Xuan behind him and said slowly: "General, you will be in charge of this battle."
General Yun Xuan looked at the vanguard generals Yun Lin, General Murong Wudi on the left, and General Wang Yijian on the right.
He said coldly: "You lead the three camps of forward, siege, and catapult respectively, and follow the orders to attack."
The three people clasped their fists and replied: "Everything follows the general's orders."
Shang Donglin said solemnly: "What the army wants to attack is to capture the enemy's position in one go. We want to capture the moat first and then attack the city. The catapults can attack at the same time when the army is crossing the river!"
The general nodded and replied: "Yes, with catapults providing protection for the army, the firepower of the South China Sea army will naturally be reduced by more than half."
Amidst the sound of horns, the Nanhai army slowly approached the moat, and saw that they were already less than 200 feet away.
The soldiers under Nanyun City could even clearly see the angry look of their opponents from a distance.
"Let the army prepare, and let the soldiers under the city put up their shields!" Nalanyu shouted to the two generals. The soldiers had already been ordered to wave the red flag in their hands.
There was a sound of metal friction, and thousands of huge shield arrays were erected along the moat under Nanyun City, tightly surrounding the heavy slaves behind them.
Nalanyu picked up a bow and arrow, looked at Yelu Mingzhu, Ergou, Xiaolian and others and said quietly: "Wait for the order to attack, use the bows and arrows in your hands to shoot those guys who rush across the moat."
Hu Ge glanced at Wang Ruyi and Fu Sheng behind him, smiled lightly and said: "Don't be afraid, Nanyun City is protected by the formation formed by my brother, and I can't hurt you!"
Fu Sheng clenched his fists and said, "Fu Sheng is not afraid, but I don't know what happened to my brother on the grassland."
Hu Ge sighed and said leisurely: "Your Uncle Hei brought the antidote. He is probably looking for trouble with the South China Sea Army."
Wang Ruyi pulled Fu Sheng's sleeve, frowned and said, "Don't be afraid, haven't you seen the master sitting in the tower? There is really trouble. Where is Master Hua?"
Yelu Mingzhu heard what the three of them were talking about, turned around and said with a smile: "It's not like you haven't been in the trenches before. It's much safer here than in the trenches."
Sitting in the tower, Hua Luoyu couldn't wait any longer. She came out to look at the little guys and ordered: "Be careful later and don't hurt yourself by falling rocks."
Even Hua Luoyu didn't have much confidence in Li Xiuyuan. After all, she had never seen the huge magic circle on the city wall, and besides Li Xiuyuan of the Five Realms Imperial City, she had been to the Great Wall.
Even Nangong Ruyu, who went to the Nangong family, had never entered the wild Great Wall, let alone seen the power of the formation.
After finishing the twelve trenches in the wasteland, the remaining battle was in front of Nanyun City.
It's early summer now, there has just been a heavy rain, and the entire moat is full.
Moreover, when Nalanyu rebuilt the city wall, he also dug the moat several feet wide, and it is now fifteen feet wide.
From a distance, you can see a big river lying in front of Nanyun City. Not to mention spectacular, the momentum alone is scary.
Woohoo!
The South China Sea army finally blew the horn of attack! For a moment, the horns sounded all over the sky, and the killing sounds shook the earth and the earth!
Boom, boom, boom!
The defenders at the top of Nanyun City beat the war drums! The war drums were no weaker than the corners of their mouths, and both sides were holding back their energy.
While vowing to destroy the city, he will defend it even to the death!
The huge catapult was finally pushed to a place a hundred feet away from the moat and erected. With the unpleasant sound of the machine's spring, countless huge rocks rose into the sky!
Under the command of the general in front, it turned into rain of stones falling from the sky and flew towards the thirteen-foot-high Nanyun City Wall!
While the armies on both sides were stunned, Wang Ruyi and Fu Sheng screamed.
At the moment when the soldiers at the top of Nanyun City raised heavy iron shields to protect their heads.
Amid an inaudible "buzz!" sound, a faint light suddenly rose from the black wall of Nanyun City.
This ray of light is not as dazzling as the sun, but it is more blazing than the scorching sun above the nine heavens!
Amid everyone's stunned silence, there was a buzz.
The stones thrown by the catapults of the Nanhai army either instantly turned into rubble and fell downwards, or they bounced and flew dozens of feet away, and finally fell into the moat.
Even Nalan Yu, Yang Kaiyi and others were frightened because when Li Xiuyuan activated the formation on the city wall, no strange phenomena occurred.
But what he saw in front of him truly overturned his imagination of the great formation in front of him.
Wang Ruyi was so frightened that she tightly pulled Yelu Mingzhu's sleeves and shouted, "Sister, this is too scary!"
Ergou took his sister's hand and smiled: "Look, Watson's godfather has already built a big formation for us."
Xiaolian took a breath, looked at Hu Ge and said, "Master, do you know about this?"
Hu Ge shook his head, pointed at Nalan Yu and said, "Only the general and my brother know about this. I'm afraid even the craftsmen who built this city wall didn't know about it."
Hua Luoyu looked at the stunned Nanhai army on the other side of the moat and said coldly: "They never dreamed that even though the Five Regions National Master was not here, they dug a huge grave for them."
Nalan Yu yelled: "Where are the two generals? Send the order. As long as the other side dares to cross the river, we will shoot thousands of arrows!"
So, Ma Feihu ordered the messenger to convey the order of attack to Wang Tianhua under the city wall.
What was even more frightening than the Nanyun City was not far away from Yun Zhongchen and a group of Nanhai generals and military advisor Shang Donglin.
Yun Zhongchen looked at the scene in front of Nanyun City and couldn't help shouting loudly: "This is impossible. There is no such power in the five domains? Where did they get the divine formation?"
That's right, there is no difference between the great formation at the head of Nanyun City today and the divine formation!
Because Li Xiuyuan had set the prerequisites for activation at the beginning, as long as the Nanhai army did not move the catapults and there was no irresistible force like the barren people outside the Great Wall to attack the city wall.
This huge magic circle will not be activated at all. What is placed in front of the Nanhai army is just an ordinary city wall that is taller and stronger than the ordinary city wall.
This was Li Xiuyuan's secret plan as the former national advisor of the Five Domains Dynasty, and it was also an obvious plan for the Nanhai Army.
As long as you don't use catapults, this is just an ordinary great city.
Even so, Yun Zhongchen still did not waver in his determination to attack!
Instead, he intensified his attack order and issued an order to the general Yun Xuan: "Push the catapult forward fifty feet and prepare the siege army to forcibly capture the moat."
Amidst the sound of trumpets, the huge catapult slowly moved forward. The Nanhai soldiers, holding their shields high, carried long cedars and began to move to the moat.
In their opinion, as long as these cedars are tied tightly and framed on the moat, the natural danger in front of them will not be considered a natural danger!
Wang Tianhua watched the opponent's catapult slowly move forward, but he couldn't help but feel happy!
As long as the opponent gets closer, he will have a chance to eliminate the opponent's catapult in front of Nanyun City in one battle!
At this moment, Nalan Yu's heart was in his throat. He knew that the next miracle would be accomplished by the army under the city wall.
Just like when Li Xiuyuan put Wang Tianhua in charge of the heavy slave camp, the current imperial city still places the heavy slave camp in Baiyu City instead of the imperial city.
Because Li Xiuyuan told him that the imperial city was too chaotic and heavy weapons should never be left in the imperial city.
In the silence of both sides, thousands of catapults finally moved forward fifty feet and re-arranged themselves, ready for battle.
In front of the moat, the heavy slaves of the Southern Xinjiang army had already strung their bows behind the powerful shield array, and were just waiting for the order to attack.
At this moment, the catapult was set up under the protection of the shield formation, only fifty feet away from the moat.
Tens of thousands of Nanhai troops launched an attack on the moat amid a roar and a hail of arrows shot by their companions behind them.
Whoosh whoosh!
Tens of thousands of arrows rained down towards Wang Tianhua’s heavy slave camp and towards the walls of Nanyun City!
"Order all troops to fire three volleys!"
Nalanyu issued the order to attack!
The messengers behind him and the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang on the city wall issued the order to attack!
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, a shower of black arrows flew out from the top of Nanyun City, and in an instant, the sky was overwhelming and they flew towards the Nanhai army!
For a moment, the muffled groans of soldiers who had been hit by arrows sounded from up and down the Nanyun City Wall!
For a moment, the shouts for help from the soldiers of the South China Sea after being hit by arrows rang out in front of the guard river!
Yelu Mingzhu didn't wait for the blacksmith to shoot the first iron arrow, she pulled the bow string in her hand, and an iron arrow flew towards the Nanhai soldiers who were attacking in front of the moat.
Tang Chao looked at the people around him and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Shoot out all the iron arrows in your hands!"
Hua Luoyu just glanced at the heavy slave camp under the city wall, then turned and walked back to the city tower. The war here had nothing to do with her, she was just here to watch a few children and not mess around.
The general is here to talk about the war, so it's not her turn to speak.
To be continued...
