Chapter 1330 Storm
That night, Zhao Yun finally received a clear order from Chen Chu. Zhao Yun summoned the generals overnight to discuss the matter. After the discussion, the pigeon and the commander quickly left the Pamir Fortress.
Five days later, 550,000 troops gathered in Wild Horse City. These included the elite Second Legion, Fourth Legion, Xianbei Legion, Western Region Legion and 150,000 Kangju, and the vassal army of the Western Regions. At the same time, logistics supplies were continuously transported to Wild Horse City, including giant beast cannons that had not yet been on the battlefield. Six of the eight giant beast cannons were transported to Wild Horse City on the official road. The people of Kangju looked at the team in front of them that seemed endless, and couldn't help but marveled, and everyone seemed very excited. "Haha, the Ross people are going to suffer!" A Kangju people who were watching the fun next to the official road were looking forward to the authenticity.
The army stayed in Wild Horse City for a day, then drove towards the Nanpoli province of Ross, with flags covering the sky and sun. At this time, the Ross army in the Nanpoli province finally got the exact information. The Qin army was coming and the war was about to begin. The Nanpoli commander Balsky sent an emergency letter of help from General Kikans who was in the Khwarezm Fortress, while building a defense line and mobilizing local security forces. At present, Ross has only 100,000 troops in the Nanpoli province, and there are only 100,000 people in the adjacent Yukan Province. Yukan Province is on the east side of the Nanpoli province. Both provinces are adjacent to the northern border of Kangju. Among the 200,000 troops in these two provinces, only 100,000 are the main force, and the other 100,000 are the so-called servants, with limited combat power.
Three days later, the Qin army arrived at the Korqin grassland at the junction of Kangju and Ross, stopped here, and built a large wooden fence based on a raised hill on the grassland to serve as the starting position for the army to attack Ross.
A day later, the Fourth Legion, Xianbei Legion, Western Regions Legion and 100,000 vassal army, a total of 400,000 troops continued to advance to the province of Rosnanpoli. At this time, the provinces of Nanpoli and Yukan were in chaos. The people of Ross, who learned of the news of the Qin army's invasion, fled north in a hurry. The road was full of fleeing people and various abandoned items. Children separated from their relatives were sitting on the ground crying, and mothers who had lost their children were shouting hysterically. The scene seemed very desolate.
Before the evening of that day, the Qin army easily captured a border city guarded by only 5,000 elderly and weak soldiers, Dulles.
The Qin army marched into Dulles in a mighty manner, and the people of Ross hid at home glanced at the army that was originally just a legendary army with fear and hatred.
South Poly City was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
Barski stood in front of the sand table to arrange defense matters for his generals.
"~~, do you understand?" asked Balsky.
The generals nodded, and one of the generals asked, "General, when will our reinforcements arrive?"
Barsky was silent for a moment, glanced at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I tell you honestly! We cannot get any reinforcements in a short period of time! We can only rely on ourselves!" Seeing that the generals' faces were dark, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Everyone cheers me up! You are all Ross's warriors, the pride of the empire, and you must face them bravely in the face of any difficulties!"
The generals couldn't help feeling ashamed and subconsciously straightened their chests.
Barsky asked a general, "Vanil, have the local security forces gathered?"
The general named Valny replied: "Fifty thousand local guards have been assembled and are now in the city, waiting for orders at any time!"
Barsky nodded and said to the generals: "We must hold back the Qin army! Only by holding them can we have the possibility of victory!"
"Yes!" The generals stood up to agree.
Barsky drew out his sword, held the sword in front of his chest, and said loudly: "Swear to live and die with Nanboli! Fight with the Qin army to the end!"
The generals drew out their swords together and shouted excitedly: "Fight the Qin army to the end! Fight the Qin army to the end!"
Queen Slan, who was in Petersburg, received an emergency letter from Nanpoli, and had no choice but to order the entire southern province to mobilize, and all men over fourteen and under fifty took up their weapons.
Silan sat on the throne, holding his forehead with his right hand, his eyes slightly closed, and a faint look of melancholy between his eyebrows.
General Drov came to the hall and saw that Queen Slan seemed to be pretending to be asleep, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
"What's the matter?" Queen Slan asked suddenly, sitting up straight.
Drov bowed and reported: "The northern tribes did not accept our order! This is their reply!" As he said that, he submitted a letter.
Silanche looked at the letter and was furious. He slapped the handrail suddenly and suddenly stood up, "What a Du Kun! How dare you despise me of Ross Empire!"
Slan then calmed down and said calmly: "Let this matter be put aside for the time being! Drov, how is the mobilization around Petersburg going?"
Drov replied: "It's quite smooth! The people are very enthusiastic and are clamoring to fight to the death with the Qin and Romans!"
Slan couldn't help but show a hint of relief and murmured: "I will definitely be able to survive this level! I will definitely be able to!"
The 400,000 Qin army, led by Zhao Yun, defeated three cities in succession and arrived at the foot of Nanpoli City. The Ross defenders in Nanpoli City were extremely nervous.
On that day, the Qin army did not attack Nanboli City, but rested for a day.
That night, all the Ross soldiers and civilians in Nanpoli could not fall asleep. Barsky and a group of generals sat in the palace and waited quietly. The soldiers surrounded the bonfire and the people were praying silently. The atmosphere in Nanpoli was very depressing.
The next morning, when the Qin army's war drums started, Balsky and the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Balsky murmured: "It's finally started!"
Hundreds of cannons slowly advanced amid the sound of war drums, making a dull roar.
Boom boom boom! The Ross army artillery on the city wall opened fire. The shells fell roaring in the middle of the Qin army's artillery group, and soldiers and gun barrels flew into the sky.
After a while, the Qin army's artillery group entered the range, stopped immediately, and began to bombard the Nanpoli City. Countless flames gushed out, and earth-shaking loud noises were connected. At this time, the sound of the Ross' artillery was completely suppressed.
The whistling shells fell up and down in the city of South Poly like a meteor shower. The huge explosion was mixed with the screams of people when they were dying. Countless smoke columns and fireballs soared up and down the city walls, and the Ross' artillery was blown into the sky one by one.
The shelling lasted for nearly half an hour, and all the only twenty artillery pieces of the Ross defenders were destroyed. Of course, the Qin army also lost more than a dozen artillery pieces. The front wall was smashed by the artillery, and thousands of corpses were scattered up and down the city wall in various postures.
Zhao Yun pulled the reins and waved the bright silver spear in his hand forward. The two 10,000 teams of the Fourth Legion, who had been impatient, made a loud noise, pushing the ladder and other siege equipment to rush towards the city wall. The Qin army's artillery fire continued, and the whistling shells swept the Ross people's city wall.
When the siege troops advanced to only a hundred steps away from the city wall, the artillery stopped firing.
"Get up! The crossbowman comes forward! Shoot!~~" Ross dragged the officer and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and shouted. The soldiers stood up in a daze, and many people couldn't figure out the east, south, west and north!
Before the Ross' crossbowmen began shooting, the Qin army's powerful crossbowmen first launched the attack. Thousands of Qin army's powerful crossbowmen stopped at a distance of sixty steps, skillfully pulled the strings and raised arrows, and under the command of the officers, they jointly launched a rain of arrows on the city wall.
The rain of arrows roared past, and the soldiers of Ross screamed and fell down a large area. The Ross army finally came to their senses. The crossbowmen and the soldiers who controlled the crossbow began to shoot arrows under the city walls in a sparse manner.
The Qin army rushed to the city wall with shouts, and ladders were set up one after another. The Qin army assault troops climbed up along the ladder with agility, and the Qin army charged up along the collapsed city wall.
In a blink of an eye, the two convenient enters a cruel hand-to-hand combat.
