Chapter 263 Chu Zimou is here!(1/2)
The situation of Lian Po's army became more and more dangerous. The anti-Eastern Han Dynasty Allied Forces built hundreds of catapults and ballistae. Stones and crossbow arrows continued to destroy the city wall! Pieces of city bricks fell off due to violent impact, exposing the rammed earth city wall.
It was crumbling! Almost all defensive buildings such as the city gate tower, arrow tower, and horse face were destroyed by catapults and ballistae!
Lian Po personally defended the city, and his strength dropped from 20,000 to 15,000, and then to 10,000... Now his strength is less than 7,000.
After the various defensive buildings were destroyed, only the rammed earth walls of the city were left to resist the enemy.
The reason why the city is strong is not only the majestic city wall itself, but also various additional defense facilities, which form a comprehensive city defense system.
A city with only walls actually has a greatly reduced defensive capability.
The anti-Eastern Han alliance forces once again launched a fierce attack on Lianpo's army. Catapults and ballistae were used to cover tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to storm and cling to the city in the center.
The coalition forces attacked the city from several directions at the same time. Lian Po's troops were stretched thin and it was difficult to fully defend the city.
"Continue to recruit troops!"
Huma forced the residents in the city to become professional soldiers or rural warriors and go to defend the city wall.
He and Lian Po almost exhausted the city's war potential, blocking the anti-Eastern Han alliance for twenty-four days without falling!
During this period, Huma wanted to break out, but was driven back by the coalition forces. He also received a notice from Chu Zimou, claiming that he would come to rescue soon.
But until now, there has been no news from Chu Zimou’s reinforcements.
"Lord, why haven't Chu Zimou's reinforcements arrived yet? Did he abandon us because he saw the enemy's strength?"
"Don't talk nonsense. None of our lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a coward at this time. He will definitely come to save us. He should be accumulating strength or thinking of a complete countermeasure. After all, there are more than 100,000 enemies under the city, and hundreds of others.
The head fights the elephant."
Hu Ma knew Chu Zimou's difficulties.
If Chu Zimou did not consider the consequences and came to the rescue with enthusiasm, both of them might be wiped out, which would be meaningless.
Instead of coming to die, Hu Ma hoped that Chu Zimou would be more than 50% sure before coming to support him.
"It's just that in three days, three days at most, if Chu Zimou doesn't come to help, this city will be lost."
Huma sighed.
"We have been attacking this city for 24 days and have lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, with an average loss of more than a thousand people every day, but we still cannot capture the city. At this rate, is it possible that we will not be able to capture this city even after the national war is over?
city!?"
Another strong attack was repelled by Lian Po, and the leader of the alliance, Kshatriya, became furious.
He faced Lian Po, who was good at defense. Even though Lian Po's troops were at an absolute disadvantage, he still blocked the coalition's attacks one after another.
The anti-Eastern Han alliance lost 30,000 people in order to capture the city held by Lian Po's army!
"Their strength is no longer enough to defend."
Two Japanese lords, Taira Yoshimori and Takeda Tadayoshi, were observing the city wall where Lianpo's army was stationed, and realized that Lianpo's army was not strong enough and was weak.
It is less than three days from falling into the city.
Although the population of the Japanese lords was not as large as that of the Indian Mughals, their strategies were superior to those of the Indian Mughals.
"The cavalry scouts of the Eastern Han Dynasty Army marched eastward! Our scout cavalry suffered heavy casualties!"
While the anti-Eastern Han alliance was making its last strong attack, the Eastern Han Dynasty's scout cavalry was already appearing nearby!
All the lords paid attention to intelligence and reconnaissance. Every time the army was dispatched, a large number of scout cavalry appeared, indicating that reinforcements from the Eastern Han Dynasty had arrived!
"Chu Zimou, the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is here!"
All the lords of the anti-Eastern Han alliance knew that Chu Zimou had three cities in the west. After being delayed by Lian Po's army, Chu Zimou finally had enough time to gather strength and come to fight the anti-Eastern Han alliance for a decisive battle.
"He only has three cities, we have seven cities, and our military strength is two or three times his, so why should we be afraid?"
Kshatriyas ride war elephants to stabilize people's hearts.
Although everyone knew that Chu Zimou only had three cities, they were still walking on thin ice.
On the horizon, the red dragon flag appears, making a hunting sound!
The sharp-clad Xiliang iron cavalry is at the forefront, holding spears and javelins, tall horses, and war horses wearing horse armor, forming a torrent of steel!
White horse Yi Cong, Arabian Empire camel cavalry, Tang Dynasty archers, Spanish plate armor knights, Japanese warriors, women's army, Shesheng battalion and other units subsequently appeared.
A coalition force of more than 40,000 people appeared, with a momentum that frightened the anti-Eastern Han alliance!
The lords of the Anti-Eastern Han Alliance have already led their troops to retreat.
Tian Khan Chutian arrived and suppressed the enemies on the opposite side. The anti-Eastern Han alliance army fell into panic and felt uneasy. Even the war elephant troops were a little shaken by the suppression of the "Tian Khan" effect. The elephant soldiers tried to contain the restless war elephants.
Prevent war elephants from trampling on your own troops when they become mad.
"She has similar abilities?"
Chutian discovered that there was something special about Yekaterina. Chutian's Sky Khan's characteristics had no effect on Yekaterina's army, and Yekaterina's characteristics had no effect on Chutian's army.
In addition, Yekaterina can also command the servant army, and Chu Tian suspects that Yekaterina has characteristics similar to the "Khan of Heaven".
Perhaps she acquired the characteristics of one of the czars.
From this point of view, Ekaterina is indeed a difficult enemy.
"That's... Cossack cavalry!? There are also African tribal warriors, Seljuk Turk cavalry, and Mamluk cavalry!"
"How could there be so many reinforcements from the Eastern Han Dynasty!"
The anti-Eastern Han alliance found that in addition to Chutian's 40,000 people, there were also Yekaterina's 60,000 people. A total of 100,000 reinforcements had arrived, a mighty force!
The strength of the reinforcements is no less than that of the Anti-Eastern Han Alliance!
Since both Chutian and Yekaterina had servant armies, the Anti-Eastern Han Alliance was actually fighting against ten civilizations!
The soldiers of the reinforcements came from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Korea, Japan, Arabia, Spain, Mughals (India), African tribes, Seljuks (Central Asia), Mamluks (Egypt), and the Grand Duchy of Moscow!
"Why did his military strength increase?"
The Goryeo lord Li Minzhe and the Japanese lord Takeda Tadayoshi, who had fought against Chutian not long ago, saw Chutian's legion again and found that the number of Chutian's legion had increased several times! The Chutian legion that attacked them only had 24,000 people at that time, and now it is 100,000!
There were also some soldiers that they had never seen before.
"It is impossible for the three cities to recruit so many elites. It should not only be Chu Zimou's military strength, but also other lords joining forces with him."
"The battle flag of the double-headed eagle is not the battle flag of Chu Zimou, but the battle flag of the Grand Duchy of Moscow! It is very likely that it is the legion of Ekaterina, the first lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow!"
"How could such a proud lord as Yekaterina join forces with Chu Zimou?"
The lords of the Anti-Eastern Han Alliance were shaken.
Ekaterina's legion can be said to be one of the top ten legions in the world. Her choice to join forces with Chutian will affect the outcome of this decisive battle!
"Ekaterina's Cossack cavalry is the nightmare of countless people."
"What benefits did Chu Zimou give her? We can give her more benefits and make her betray Chu Zimou!"
The first reaction of the restless anti-Eastern Han alliance lords was to win over Ekaterina. They were unwilling to make enemies of two top ten lords in the world at the same time.
What they didn't expect even more was that Ekaterina was unwilling to join forces with Chu Zimou at first, but now she was a prisoner, and it was all in Chu Tian's hands. She had no choice. She was a hostage, and she couldn't betray.
"Sir, our reinforcements are coming!"
The city's defenders, who numbered less than 7,000, were overjoyed when they saw the red dragon flag appearing.
They could no longer hold on if reinforcements had not arrived, and now reinforcements have finally arrived.
"The number of reinforcements is too much."
When Hu Ma, the governor of Taiyuan County, saw the arrival of 100,000 reinforcements from the city wall, he was greatly shaken in his heart.
When did Chu Zimou have so many troops?
Moreover, his troops are of various types, comparable to the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations.
Chutian and Catherine's coalition forces gathered to confront the anti-Eastern Han alliance in the plain area, with the flags of both sides covering the sky.
"They formed an alliance, and we have servant armies composed of various civilizations."
Chu Tian rode a war horse and went out to observe the opponent's camp under the protection of several generals.
After receiving 60,000 reinforcements from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Chutian became more confident.
Although the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations were a mixed bag, and the coordination of various arms was chaotic, the anti-Eastern Han Dynasty Allied Forces were also a mixture of various arms, such as Indian elephant soldiers, Toungoo spearmen, red cavalry, Annan infantry, and Goryeo light cavalry...
This may be the largest battle so far on the National War battlefield, with more than ten civilizations participating in the battle!
Yekaterina said contemptuously: "You don't need your legion, just my legion can destroy them."
"Don't underestimate Eastern civilization."
Chu Tian did not underestimate the Mughal Empire and the surrounding civilizations.
Each civilization has its own top-level troops, which, when used well, can also pose a huge threat to the other party.
"Is that why you begged me to come and help you?"
"As a prisoner, you have to know your position."
"you……"
