Seven hundred and fortieth chapters under the black wind city
When the enemy attacked, the city defense fortifications were seen on an island in the middle of the river, and the river banks on both sides were connected by bridges.
When the enemy attacked for the first time, there were no bridgeheads on both sides of the bridge at this time.
After realizing that it was impossible to conquer the bridgehead through a strong attack, the enemy began to send small groups of troops to loot the surrounding areas of Black Wind City.
They searched for a large amount of food and livestock, and then built a fortification camp nearby with trenches and fences, completely surrounding Black Wind City.
The enemy's weapon refiners spent a lot of time to build three giant siege hammers. Each siege hammer has a ceiling made of solid wood, which can accommodate hundreds of Asura warriors to operate siege hammers.
However, when the enemy pushed the siege hammer and gradually approached the city wall, they were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows fired by the Black Wind Army.
Many of the Asura warriors who controlled these siege hammers were shot dead by javelins shot out of giant crossbows. Due to the death of a large number of Asura warriors, the time when the enemy dragged the siege hammers to the city was delayed for a long time.
The siege soon lasted for several months, and the enemy, which had far less resources, was reluctant to fail and was determined to adopt a new siege method.
They made large numbers of heavy bunkers and covered them with heavy fresh ferocious skins.
Each of these bunkers can provide protection for a small team of Asura warriors, attacking the main force, trying to approach the city walls under their cover.
At the same time, two small commandos also sailed towards the bridge in warships. They anchored the ships next to the base of the bridge and tried to climb along the base into the bridgehead.
Under the protection of this bunker, the enemy attacking by land soon approached the bridgehead and began to fill the trenches surrounding the bunker.
They threw all the dirt blocks, branches, straw, shrubs and other things that could be found into the trench, and even drove the cattle into it after being defeated. Some scattered soldiers who were unfortunately captured when the Vikings swept the surroundings were killed and threw them into the trench.
At the same time, the Black Wind Army kept shooting a large number of arrows and stones at the enemy, killing a large number of attackers. However, just when the defenders were attracted to this aspect, the enemy had quietly repaired the three large siege hammers and finally pushed them to the fort.
These three siege hammers attacked the bunkers from three directions, causing considerable damage to the stones and mortar on the wall.
At this time, the defenders began to adopt an ancient method that was often used to deal with siege hammers during the era of Asura Emperor.
They hung the wooden beams with hooks down the walls and used them to hook the front end of the siege hammer.
In this way, the siege party can no longer pull the siege hammer backward to hit the city wall.
In addition, the Black Wind Army has also built a batch of
The catapults, as long as the huge rocks they throw can hit the enemy's bunker, it will be enough to destroy them. The Asura warriors who dodge behind them will be smashed to pieces.
After the subsequent attack, the enemy suffered extremely heavy losses. Finally, under the cover of darkness, they took away all the still intact bunkers, but abandoned the siege hammers.
While the enemy launched a failed attack on the bridgehead, the two sides also launched a fierce battle around the bridge.
The enemy originally wanted to use the raid to conquer them, but after being defeated, they were forced to use other methods to fill several warships with straw and firewood and ignite them. Then, with manpower, they pulled them with ropes on the north bank of the Great River, trying to pull them under the bridge, ignite the wooden structure of the bridge, and cut off the connection between Black Wind City and the bridgehead.
And to be on the safe side, they also used precious materials on it and arranged a talisman array.
But at this moment, that luck seemed to be standing on the side of the Black Wind Army. All of these warships were stranded on the rock base of the wooden piers. They either burned them meaninglessly or were sunk by the stones thrown on the bridge.
The bridge suffered no losses during the attack, and the enemy's joint water and land attack was completely failed.
But just a few hours later, an unfortunate human-made natural disaster helped the enemy accomplish what they wanted to do.
The strong men in the enemy used spells, causing a heavy rain to surge, causing the river to surge, and the surging river water to destroy part of the structure of the North Bridge.
What's worse is that while the North Bridge was washed away, only a small number of Asura soldiers were stationed in the bridgehead of the North Bridge.
The enemy immediately realized that before the bridge was restored, the defenders could not obtain any support from Black Wind City, so they launched a fierce raid on the isolated bunker.
They pushed a cart of straw next to the gate of the bunker and ignited it, and the defenders were unable to drive the attackers back due to their small number.
As for the long-range projectile firepower from the Black Wind City Wall, it cannot be effective because the distance is too far.
In fact, due to the thick smoke surrounding the bunker, the Black Wind Guards could not see the situation around them clearly.
Not long after, the wooden structure of the bridgehead was ignited, and the only small number of defenders had to retreat and retreat to the ruins of the broken bridge connected to the bunker to take refuge.
At this time, the enemy proposed to spare their lives as long as they surrender. But just after the defenders put down their weapons, these insidious enemy troops massacred them all and threw their bodies into the river.
After this, the enemy began to demolish the stone foundation of the unfortunate bridgehead.
After completing this work, the enemy should send some ships upstream from the direction of the broken bridge as much as possible, and launch a general attack on Black Wind City.
And surprisingly, the enemy did not act like this.
Whether it was because they needed supplies or just because they were tired of the siege, they sent most of the Asura warriors to the other direction of the river to attack the city there.
Because the enemy's camp was already lifeless, the defenders in Heifeng City mistakenly thought that all the enemies had left, so the guard led their troops out of the city and tried to capture and burn the enemy's camp.
Although the raid was repelled, the Black Wind Army's attack was so fierce that some of the remaining enemy troops were killed under the Black Wind City.
Just as the enemy gradually lost patience with the siege, reinforcements sent by Emperor Asura appeared near Heifeng City.
The enemy quickly discovered this situation and retreated to their camp to take the defensive position, which allowed reinforcements to establish contact with Black Wind City without any interference and transport a large amount of supplies to the city.
The Black Wind City defenders also took this breather to repair the North Bridge and generally rebuilt the destroyed bridgehead.
However, until this time, the siege was still not lifted. After launching a strong attack on the enemy camp and failing, reinforcements also evacuated the battlefield, leaving the Black Wind Army to deal with the siege on its own.
However, the enemy was shocked by the action of rescuing the army and moved the camp to the south bank of the river to rely on the river to resist all reinforcements from the north.
After learning more detailed reinforcements, the enemy learned that Emperor Asura might lead his army in person, so some of the enemy's generals began to suggest lifting the siege.
However, more enemy generals expressed their disagreement. In the end, the enemy general rejected the proposal and decided to launch a general attack on Heifeng City before the arrival of Emperor Asura.
So after some intense preparations, the enemy launched an attack on two bridges, bridgeheads and the island itself at the same time.
They dragged warships to the narrow river beach, placed them at the feet of the fortress, and tried to use the hull as a ladder to climb the walls of Heilongjiang.
However, they failed to succeed in any direction. Soon after, several enemy generals who had no hope of capturing Black Wind City led a large number of soldiers out of the battlefield. They hoped to use their actions to allow the entire army to retreat with them.
It is obvious that the actions of these generals did not pass the consent of the main general, which is equivalent to committing a big taboo.
In the eyes of the enemy's chief general, the behavior of his generals was equivalent to rebeling and surrendering to the enemy, and he wanted to rescue Heifeng City.
This master general is different from ordinary generals. He has already made a certain personal judgment at this time, believing that the current situation of Asura Emperor is likely to not last long.
