Chapter 749 Beihai Acropolis

Since the fall of Asura Emperor, the Asura army under Asura Emperor, as well as the demon army, and the Asura kings who opposed Asura Emperor, have engaged in large-scale siege and defense battles.

After this, there were few such wars. It was not until Luohu rose up and cultivated the Fortress of Rising Sun City that the war of siege and defending the city began again.

This time, the large-scale counterattack of the Fire King caused the war to siege and defend the city that had been silent for many years to be ignited again.

This time, the King of Fire Fire was wrong. He was determined and determined to gather millions of troops and vowed to use fire and sword to defend his reputation in the Asura world.

Although time has changed and the situation of both the enemy and us has changed to a greater or lesser extent, the King of Fire still uses his momentum that is not inferior to Luohu, and is in line with the Rising Sun City.

The military talents of Luohu's side have left their own mark in the Asura realm. Strictly speaking, the Fire King's side is indeed not as strategic as the Luohu army. This Rising Sun City is a scar among them.

Fortunately, the Fire King quickly changed his strategy with the help of the instructor group. Since Rising Sun City is not easy to attack, it would be better to attack those small satellite cities.

Wu Feng made a big splash in such a battle and was quickly reused.

Although he is not yet a pair of Asuras and is not qualified to serve as the commander of a legion, in fact, this legion of ten thousand people is under his command.

The location and city style of Beihai City reflect the relationship between this place and the ocean.

The current Beihai City is just an inconspicuous small city on the northwest coast of the Rising Sun City area, but in the early days of the Asura Emperor, this closed corner was once one of the most important ports in this area.

Beihai is the most prosperous port in the Rising Sun City area. It sends ships to every corner of the Asura realm and brings back various commodities to enrich the entire area.

Because it is located on the northern bank of the estuary with frequent tides, in the North Sea during the Asura Emperor's era, it actually guards the most important inland river within the sphere of influence of Asura Emperor.

From here, you can flow up the entire Rising Sun City area and reach the ancient city Kunping for dozens of miles.

During the reign of Emperor Asura, the first lord of Beihai City was buried here.

The ancestor of this city lord once entered the northern part of the emperor from Beihai City more than once, and even continued to advance even more boldly and arrived in the imperial capital.

After that soul-stirring siege, they acquired a large tract of land on both sides of the Beihai River and were born in the north, making this land famous for its land of northerners.

In the past, Luohu attacked the Rising Sun City through the Beihai River and created the Rising Sun City later.

Many years later, the Luohu army gathered here to cross the sea against the King of Fire.

The attack.

Now the descendants of the Beihai City Lord have long been no longer loyal to Emperor Asura. They own the land of the Beihai, but they will never pay tribute to the Fire King.

On the contrary, they helped Luohu and had grown stronger in Beihai City, turning this place into a strategic location that threatened the Fire King.

They took the lead in building a naval dock here. During the interwar period, they and their allies, the Luohu Army, often sent ships and armed soldiers from here to harass the fire army on the other side of the strait.

The famous warrior Huang Long, nicknamed the Invincible Warrior, set sail from here, plundered the population and wealth of the Fire King, and then escaped unscathed, and returned to Beihai City.

Then Huanglong gathered a fleet and attacked the southern coast of the Fire King.

Even in the long years that followed, Huanglong intervened in the internal situation of the Fire King, or went south to intervene in the hegemonic fleet, all set out from here.

Not only that, not far from Beihai City, it is also another pirate nest that threatens its opponent.

Although the pirates here are not as famous as those of the past, the advantageous position between the strait and the harbor is doomed to the unfortunate tragedy of many merchant ships.

The city and the fleet often set off from Beihai City to attack the opponent's coast, so this is the enemy's mainland strategy.

It is also a city lord who protects and cares for the merchant class in the area.

In the era of Asura Emperor, they successfully curbed the enemy fleet on the banks of the Beihai River by relying on their military achievements. When the little king who could not continue to maintain it in the troubled times was finally overthrown, but even he knew that he would send his subordinates to join forces with the Portuguese to attack the coast of the Beihai River.

If the Fire King wants to make a difference, or even win the war against the French, he cannot let go of this cancer.

As the entrance to the Beihai River, Beihai City is of extraordinary importance.

As a coastal city that relies on rivers, Beihai City has natural defensive advantages.

And it is precisely because of its importance that this small city was protected by various possible means of military technology.

The tall city walls that last for several miles stand watchtowers at certain intervals, with a total of dozens of them sanitation the entire city and harbor.

These are newly built fortifications, and the construction plan is to build the fort into polygons.

A semicircular defensive tower is built at each corner, which is stronger than traditional square towers and can withstand the threat of artillery and authenticity.

The wall is thick and thin, and the wall is tilted upward, which can bounce shells and throw rocks back to the enemy's direction, while many watchtowers have many advantageous fire points that can fire from the flanks to strike any enemy trying to approach the wall.

There are only three gates in Beihai City, facing the north, southeast and southwest respectively.

And every city gate,

They are equipped with a one-person fortress system, iron gates, suspension bridges on water injection trenches and moat systems. This can prevent siege weapons such as engineering hammers from destroying the city walls. These permanent fortifications are defended by thick trunks to resist the attack of projected weapons. Some thick trunks are buried deep in the soil to support the city walls from the inside out. There is also a tower near the Rouen Gate, which controls the entrance to the harbor. The city walls have reinforced vaults, extremely uneven surfaces on the exterior walls, and there are holes for crossbow shooting at high places.

On the south of the small town, there is a salt marsh formed by tides. A small river passes through the city between the two gates and is artificially diverted into trenches and moats flowing around the city.

The river water from northeast to southwest wraps around half of the town, which is conducive to defending against attacks from the upper reaches of the valley.

The river passes through the city through several bridge holes and gates. Two water mills by the river are driven by the river to grind grains.

The most important thing is that there are special sluices on the rivers flowing through the city. Once an enemy attacks from the upper reaches of the valley, the city defenders will close the gate in the northeast of the city, causing the river to overflow the river bank, and prevent the water level of the valley from reaching the human thigh.

The port of Beihai City itself is stronger than the main city. Hundreds of years ago, the Asuras in Beihai City built a thick and high water wall to defend the port and formed a circle in the south of the city.

Later, people poured water into it and turned it into a harbor.

Not only are there high walls here, but there are turrets on the city walls that can fire giant stone bombs. At the entrance of the port, there are two tall towers standing opposite each other, with large iron chains blocking them.

Faced with the counterattack of the Firefighters, Beihai City arranged sharpened wooden stakes under the sea wall. When the enemy ship sailed under the city wall, these wooden stakes would greatly threaten the enemy ships and cause them to sink due to the cracking of the bottom of the ship.

And how easy is it to conquer such a fortress?

The strength of both sides is basically the same. In previous battle examples, the Luohu army was stronger than the Yanhu army. When the two sides fought ten times, the Luohu army could win seven times, and the Yanhu army could only win three times at most.

Moreover, the forces of both sides are basically the same. Although the Yanhuo Army is taking an offensive and the Luohu Army takes a defensive position, after several small acropolis such as Nanbao City were captured by the Yanhuo Army, the Luohu Army attaches no longer the same importance to these acropolises as before.

If the current Fire Army sends too many troops to attack Beihai City, the Luohu Army will definitely send troops to restrain them accordingly.

So under such circumstances, it is not a simple matter to conquer Beihai City, but the new tactic formulated by the officers above is to first defeat these small satellite cities, making Rising Sun City a completely lonely city, and then besieged.
