Chapter 720 Moved, the enemy moved!
Chapter 721: Aisha's Defense Battle
In the 3227th year of the Mainland calendar, in the third year of the Chinese New Calendar in later generations, in mid-June, in the eastern part of China, Aisha City, the border city closest to the border of the enemy country Kaoqi, broke out in the second largest battle in the history of the founding of the two countries. Later generations are known as the "Aisha Defense Battle".
In this battle, both sides of the war all invested a large amount of troops, and from the beginning of the battle, they began to actively attack and passive defense, and continued until the end of the entire war.
During this period, the Kaaoqi army, which was actively attacking, invested a total of up to 600,000 troops, and there were countless other strategic materials for siege. As the passive defense side, the Chinese defender also devoted all his strength to the battlefield and devoted all the 200,000 main combat forces that could be combined to take action. He fought hard against the enemy country Kaaoqi until the end of the defeat.
The military strategy has been said since ancient times. The superiors attack the plan, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, and the next is the enemy, the next is the enemy, and the next is the enemy.
From this we can see that the battle of siege has always been the most unsatisfactory and least helpless method. If there is a little choice, then as long as there is a little strategy, the lower lane of the siege will not choose the siege.
Because, no matter whether the siege successfully seizes the city in the end, it will inevitably have to pay a huge price. The price paid is sometimes even completely unbearable for the main battle of the siege, and in the end it can only show the outcome of both sides suffering.
Therefore, since ancient times, most siegemen have been forced to do so and have an absolute advantage in military strength. If there is no more than twice the strength of the defending city, the behavior of the siege is almost the same as suicide.
Unless the overall strength of the defensive side is too timid, it is not at the same level as the siege side.
Only in this way can the siege battle be able to achieve the final victory by the siege side with the original ratio of troops one to one.
It is obvious that this battle took place in the Kuangshi Field in Aisha City, a border city between China and Kaaoqi. The strength of the two sides of the warring armies was not much different. Even if Kaaoqi was not counted as nearly five times more troops than the Aisha defenders, the quality of the Chinese defenders was faintly higher than that of the Kaaoqi army, which looked like a wolf silk tiger on the surface under the city in front of him, and reached a powerful level that shocked all the Kaaoqi soldiers.
Of course, no matter how strong the Chinese defenders are, they are always at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, a huge disadvantage that makes them unable to gain an advantage in this war even if they fight hard.
When a million siege troops faced a defensive force of only 200,000, the war should have had no suspense at the beginning and would end with the victory of the Kaoqi army, which was siegeing the city.
After all, the ratio of 5 to 1, plus the scale of defense in Aisha City is weak compared to some big cities. This battle had already gained an advantage at the beginning of the battle. The only thing that cannot be determined is how much the Kaaishi army, who is the siege, will pay in this battle.
It was 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, or more casualties. Although this number had already made Prince Lan Gao, the head coach, uneasy at the beginning, and felt that it would not be that simple.
However, no matter how large the number of casualties was, the matter of taking down Aisha City was a matter of setting a nail in Prince Lan Gao's mind.
In Prince Lan Gao's eyes, as long as he can afford the price of siege, the entire Aisha City will inevitably fall into his hands under the fierce attack of his millions of troops day and night.
And the silver-haired sword saint and ice-fire magic saint inside could only helplessly watch Aisha City fall into his hands.
However, Prince Lan Gao didn't want to pay this price in the previous days.
However, what surprised Prince Lan Gao in the end happened, and it was a fact that Prince Lan Gao, who was originally extremely confident, could not believe it at all.
First, his vanguard was subjected to a strong counterattack at the moment of the siege. Before he arrived at the city, he had already paid half of it, paying an astonishing price, which almost made Prince Lan Gao vomit blood.
Then, under the cover of countless giant shields, the elite infantry army of the second echelon pushed up the well-deserved main force of the city siege, the city climbing car, the rifle, and the crash car on the battlefield.
The huge city climbing car is like a erected city wall. The lower plate is equipped with four wheels, which can be manipulated forward by humans, but the speed is a little slow, and there are wooden ladders in the shape of a return-shaped body for humans to climb quickly. As for the top, there is a huge semi-closed car box, which is obviously made to resist the arrows shot by the soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city, with great defense. The front end of the car box folded upwards a wide solid wooden board. The folded wooden board was put down the moment the car body approached the city wall, so that a group of siege soldiers who had already hidden in the car box quickly rushed to the city with the fastest speed. At the same time, the entire car body also became a passage for quickly transporting troops to the city, and the end was extremely harmful.
As the name suggests, the archer is naturally a siege weapon related to bows and arrows. It is built like the previous city climbing car. It can be built according to the height of the siege wall, but it is slightly higher than the siege wall, so that the archer at the top can shoot at the top of the city from a high point, which can be regarded as a strategic weapon for siege.
As for the collision, it is a sharp weapon used to hit the city gate. It is mostly made of a sharpened giant wood as the main body. The country is supplemented by a wooden car body and four-wheeled vehicle, which requires nearly a hundred strong soldiers to push it together to exert its maximum power.
In a big battle, a car crash is definitely an object that must be attacked and protected by important attacks. Otherwise, if it is allowed to raid the city gate, even a gate made of pure steel will not be able to stand much.
Therefore, the moment the second echelon rushed up, both above and below the city, without exception, focused their attention on the number of powerful soldiers carefully selected before the war and pushed hard by hundreds of strong soldiers.
For a time, a large number of climbing cars and rovers were so much that no one paid attention to them.
Car crashes are easily damaged by the enemy's concentrated fire during siege battles. Therefore, whenever the siege, the siege side will always prepare as many backup crashes as possible for backup, and be responsible for taking over the important task of crashing the city gate.
As long as every crash can successfully hit the city gate safely for a few strokes, seven or eight cars will be hit by iron, and even if the city gate is hit, it will not be able to hold on.
Unless the enemy has enough strength to crush all the crashes, the city gate will undoubtedly be broken.
However, if all the crashes are broken by the enemy, the entire battle will only be divided into the climax of the city wall.
Only then will the importance of the Climbing Car and the Ride Car be revealed.
However, when there is a car crash, their popularity will always be steadily pressed by the car crash, full of the embarrassing position of the ten thousand-year-old dick.
However, what almost made Prince Lan Gao, who was the head coach, vomited blood again was that before the seven or eight siege crashes reached the bloody moat, they were hit by one after another of red flames. In an instant, they turned into one huge fireball after another, and even burned a large area of soldiers pushing forward around the seven or eight siege crashes to death, with as many as hundreds of people.
Although the magicians in Kaochi's camp have also taken action together while discovering that the other party has released magic, trying to protect these major collisions.
But what made the magicians depressed and angry was that the defensive magic he used with all his strength did not even have the effect, and was easily penetrated by the opponent's flames, burning several cars completely.
Seeing that his magic was ineffective, the car crash was burned in his eyes. The magicians who worked for the Kaaoqi army were very embarrassed and all volunteered angrily, as if someone had fucked his own mother and rushed to the front battlefield, releasing their best magic towards the main attack direction where the city gate was.
For a moment, the magic light on the entire battlefield was radiant, and colorful magic rushed towards the city gate in a fierce manner. The morale of the siege army was greatly shocked, and the charge was even more powerful.
However, just as the siege soldiers were rushing forward with great morale, a blue halo was immediately sprinkled on the city head of Aisha City, which was only fifteen meters high, and enveloped the entire city head covered by the siege magic.
"bite……"
"bite……"
"bite……"
"bite……"
"bite……"
A series of sounds like sharp arrows shot to steel exploded at the moment when many magical creatures hit the light curtain. The next second, when all the Kaoqi soldiers raised their heads to look at the blue halo, their eyes that were staring to the maximum limit were full of incredible words.
Because the magic that had just hit the harsh magic like a wolf or a tiger was like a slashing through it, just like a small stone that had hit the calm lake. It only produced a few tiny ripples, and the stone sank to the bottom of the lake without any movement.
It can be said that this move has completely surpassed the scope of ordinary strong people and can only be explained by a person who has reached a terrifying state of strength.
You should know that an ordinary strong man, even a magician with a level nine, cannot take on such a number of high-level attack magic.
Then, the identity of this person who casts magic and takes on so many siege magic is almost about to emerge.
Jaina, besides the Ice and Fire Magic Saint Gianna, are there any other magicians in the entire Aisha City that can take on so many high-level attack magic at once?
Of course, this answer is no!
However, even if it is a saint, so what? His troops and horses are strong and there are many people. Even if he uses magic, he can consume you to death. How could the magicians in the army be afraid of this powerful saint-level wizard who dare not leave the city to cause trouble for him easily?
Therefore, for a moment, the entire battlefield began to enter the era of magical bombing. A group of angered Kaoqi followed the army mages to wave their staffs, either loudly or whispering the spells of high-level magic, extracting the elements needed for their magic from the space, and then throwing the magic formed in their hands towards the city opposite, looking like they would have to be consumed with him even if they were killed.
However, as the commander of the first army, Prince Lan Gao did not stop the actions of these magicians. He was even a little happy, happy that the arrogant magicians in front of him were finally willing to do their best this time.
After all, with the noble status of a magician, even if Lan Gao himself is the prince and the commander, he has no way to control these magicians who are so arrogant that their eyes are almost on the top of their heads.
Therefore, as the head coach, Prince Lan Gao, not only did not stop the anger in the hearts of these magicians, but also wanted the anger in the hearts of these magicians to burn a little more vigorously.
In this way, the price of attacking the city in front of you will be much smaller.
However, Prince Lan Gao probably didn't expect that he would regret it immediately less than a moment after he had such an idea.
Because, not only Lan Gao forgot, but every magician here has forgotten. The only one who just took action was San Gianna, the Ice and Fire Technique, but the only magician group of all magicians in China, which she directly commanded, had not taken action yet!
In this way, the magicians suffered a great loss almost immediately, and were directly killed by the magic that counterattacked from the city.
It was not until this time that the magicians who were blinded by anger suddenly remembered that their magic could attack the other party, but in this way, they also entered the attack range of the enemy magicians. How could they not suffer a big loss if they were careless?
In horror, the magicians retreated backwards as fast as possible like a frightened bird.
Compared with the anger in his heart, the alive magicians clearly felt that their lives were more important, so they all left the battlefield and entered the safe place after entering the battlefield, and never dared to move forward easily again.
With such a result, how can Prince Lan Gao not let the head coach vomit blood angrily and lose the help of the magicians? Lan Gao could only put all his hopes on the siege of the city. Now, only those siege cars can pose a threat to the enemy.
However, at this time, something that troubled Lan Gao again, that is, if the moat in front of the siege troops was not filled, the big guys behind him would not be able to pass the city wall at all, and they would not be able to pass through the two temporary pontoon bridges like the previous crash.
Because they are too heavy, it is impossible for the floating bridge to support their amazing weight.
After all, the car box above the Pancheng car was filled with more than a hundred people, and the rings inside the car were filled with soldiers who were about to rush up as soon as possible.
Fill the river!
This is the only correct order issued by Lan Gao since commanding this battle!
For a moment, countless soldiers rushing in front raised the huge shield in their hands, and with the dense rain of arrows under the city, they covered the engineers who were rushing up with a unicycle behind them, poured trucks of sand into the moat. At this moment, the whole scene seemed to begin to tilt towards Kaoqi, who was attacking the side.
However, as the defender of Aisha City, who is guarding the city, of course, he would not just let the other party fill his first line of defense.
Obviously, this moat is the beginning of the heavy price that the enemy pays.
Sure enough, just as a car of sand and stones of vehicles were filled into the moat by countless engineers who rushed up, quickly filling the entire moat with half, causing the entire moat to overflow, the Kaoqi soldiers who were responsible for covering also paid a heavy price.
Under the dense rain of arrows, unlucky guys would be caught in arrows and fall down from time to time in the entire enemy formation. The fighting qi arrows shot by masters could completely penetrate the iron shield, and the three or five people behind the iron shield were nailed to death.
As for the magicians in the magician group, they did not take action at this moment. They still had to retain their strength to deal with the city climbing cars and rifles that were pushed up after the enemy filled the moat. These two things are powerful siege weapons that pose a great threat to the city wall and must be solved as soon as possible.
Therefore, under the command of Jaina, the magicians could only hide in the two floors on both sides of the city wall, waiting for the moment when the enemy filled the moat.
That's right, although I don't want to admit it, everyone, including coach Felster, knows that this moat will not exist for long, and it's only a matter of time before this moat will be filled.
However, everyone also knows that it is not that easy for the enemy below to fill this moat. Just this price will definitely make their coach feel distressed to death.
Sure enough, when the Kaaoqi army below filled the moat, three thousand and four corpses were left on one side of the original river channel.
This price is enough to make Lan Gao, as the head coach, go completely crazy.
Of course, such losses are nothing to the entire attacking army of no less than one million, and they are nothing at all.
However, for a moat that is only a few feet long, the price is too high.
Thinking about it with a normal idea, this is just a moat, and you haven't even touched the enemy's side. If it is a formal siege, then wouldn't the dead person be an astronomical number?
Thinking of this, Lan Gao felt timid in his heart, and it took most of the day to fill the moat. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Lan Gao finally had enough excuses to order the withdrawal of troops.
