The protection on the top of the squash wood cart is a piece of steel plate that is about an inch behind, especially the squash wood carts from Dachu and Dajin. The top is engraved with magic patterns, which can withstand the attacks of ordinary magic, mainly to defend against flames.┌féisuzw26nbsp;┐After all, squash wood is a wood product, and the most feared thing is flames. The squash wood cart weighs tens of thousands of kilograms and is more than twenty meters long, with sixteen wheels below, and is usually pulled by eight war horses.
The power of a hundred people can push the wooden cart, but the movement speed is slow. Although the steel plate on the top of the wooden cart is hard, it can only withstand two or three hundred kilograms of stones. There are also a large number of huge stones above 500 kilograms of stones on the top of the city. Even in the Great Chu, the wooden carts of Dajin were unable to bear it. Dozens of wooden carts were smashed in succession, so the coalition forces had to give up using the wooden carts.
The coalition's siege continued. Although the coalition's offensive was fierce, it only consumed the rolling stones and arrows of the Qin defenders, leaving behind many corpses and a large number of wounded soldiers. However, shortly after the coalition's flying squad flew back and the Qin defenders completely stabilized the defense line, a large number of flying squads suddenly rushed into the sky above the border city from all sides.
This time, the coalition flight team did not stop at the city wall defense line, but flew straight into the city. Then, the coalition flight teams divided into six groups and rushed to six main grain warehouses, dived from the air, and used fire magic scrolls to attack the food warehouse below, or the grain warehouse group.
Two of these storage areas were newly built, and the other four were expanded. Three of these four were military material areas, and one was a grain warehouse for residents. Most of the residents in the city had been arranged to leave in advance, but a small number of residents were still unwilling to leave. Xu Sancai did not force the relocation and prepared a large amount of food for the residents in advance.
In Xu Sancai's calculations, the enemy may be besieged for a long time, and may even be trapped for several years, so it stored a large amount of food. There were 800,000 regular troops and 20,000 agricultural reclamation corps, and tens of thousands of people responsible for logistics and rescue. Naturally, a large amount of food was needed, especially during the war, when the food was consumed more than usual.
Moreover, a large number of warehouses are needed to store various consumed materials. Rolling wood stones can be stacked in the open air, but arrows, rescue supplies and medicines need to be stored in the warehouse. There is a central material area and a material area near the four gates. The civilian grain warehouse is also located in the middle of the border city.
Those flying squads flew directly to their respective targets. Of course, these flying squads did not dare to land on the ground and could only dive in mid-air to attack. These material areas were guarded by troops, and of course there were also archers among them. When they were found to have the flying squads attacked, they immediately attacked with bows and arrows.
Those guarding the warehouse were ordinary regular soldiers, and no special masters were arranged. The sharpshooters were all concentrated in the city defense department. However, Xu Sancai stayed in the city lord's mansion not far from the civilian grain warehouse. When he learned that an enemy was attacking, he immediately rushed to the grain warehouse. He rode the Fierce Wind Eagle to fight. No one could resist the thunder needle and magic concealed by magic scrolls.
Xu Sancai killed more than 30 people with one man's power, including four generals of War King, and there were archers on the ground. The rest of the flight team members were unable to launch several effective supplies. The roofs of three warehouses were attacked by level 6 fire magic scrolls. Although the warehouses were built in regular buildings, they could not block the attack of level 6 magic, and the food stored in them was immediately ignited by magic. The flight troops suffered heavy losses and then quickly fled.
The losses in the other five materials areas were much greater. The Central Military Barracks' Materials Department had the most tight defense. The 100,000 troops as the General Reserve Army were stationed near the Central Materials Area. When they heard the alarm, they immediately mobilized a large number of archers to defend. In addition, ten generals with flying monsters helped in the war, only five warehouses in the Central Materials Department were hit by fire magic.
The other four materials were only a few miles away from the city gate, and the guards were only three thousand. Although there were originally 50,000 reserve troops at the barracks at the city gates, because the enemy attacked them tightly, those reserve troops all went to the city wall to resist the attack of the coalition forces. Although thousands of people were urgently mobilized to return to the rescue, the losses were very serious because the troops were scattered on the city wall and they could not be concentratedly transferred.
Almost all dozens of warehouses in the Simen Material Area were attacked by magic. Although the Agricultural Reclamation Legion immediately arranged firefighting and rescue supplies, a lot of supplies were still lost, among which the food loss in the four material areas exceeded one-third. Fortunately, the magic was activated by scrolls and could not be controlled accurately, otherwise the losses would be greater.
However, the coalition's flight troops lost nearly a hundred people. However, except for the four generals of War King killed by Xu Sancai, only the Central District killed two generals of War King. The rest were the flying soldiers, mainly flying scouts, and the flying monsters they rode were only level 4 and 5, and their flexibility and defense were quite different from those of level 6 and 7 monsters.
However, the results of the coalition forces are quite obvious. If it were not for the rescue in time, the losses would probably be serious. This is the greatest result that the coalition forces can achieve. After all, the destructive power of the magic scroll is difficult to control. Moreover, this kind of team attack can be sudden at most, but it is impossible to keep it confidential. The Agricultural Reclamation Army and Logistics Rescue Team of Daqin were stationed behind the battlefields on four walls, and the rescue of the warehouse supplies was very timely.
More than half of the warehouse with the worst food loss was burned, and some other materials were also lost. The Marshal of the Great Jin Dynasty wanted to destroy the food in the city, and then to create chaos, restrain the Qin Dynasty's defensive forces, and disintegrate the morale of the Qin Dynasty defenders. While the flight team attacked, the siege troops also stepped up their offensive.
The defensive troops on the city wall also saw the enemy's flying surprise attack team and the warehouse caught fire. However, most of the generals of the Qin Dynasty were generals from major countries, and had a lot of combat experience. They ignored the surprise attack team and commanded their own troops' defenses. They were not affected by the surprise attack team's actions, but were all sticking to their responsibilities.
Although the number of defending troops was far less than that of the siege coalition forces, the city defense fortifications were strong, and with the stone casters and a large number of crossbows, archers and coalition forces paid huge casualties to get close to the city wall. The wooden chariot had been damaged by nearly half, and it was temporarily stopped at this time. The main way to attack the city was to climb the city with cloud ladders. There were sufficient wooden rocks on the city, so naturally the enemy would not attack it.
The coalition also has a type of equipment called the Arrow Tower Vehicle, which is a type of equipment that can be disassembled and built. It can reach three meters in height and can accommodate twenty or thirty people. There is an iron plate defense on the front of the Arrow Tower Vehicle, which can shoot with the defenders on the city tower. Because it is similar in height and has a defensive iron plate, it is not inferior to the attack.
Except for those border cities of great powers, the city walls are generally less than two meters high. This kind of arrow tower car can completely suppress attacks and is an important equipment for siege. Suppressing the defensive soldiers in the city can make it relatively easy for soldiers to climb the city with ladders. Fortunately, the walls of the four border cities have been urgently increased and reinforced. Otherwise, the arrow tower car of the coalition forces will have a greater threat to the city's defense soldiers.
Although those Arrow Tower trucks are considered large and strong equipment, they are unable to withstand the attack of more than 800 kilograms of stone casting. The impact force of those stone castings and the throwing force is enough to reach thousands of kilograms. Even the city gates cannot withstand this kind of attack. However, the Arrow Tower truck is a temporary large-scale equipment, so naturally it has no foundation. If it is hit by a large stone casting, it will collapse directly.
Of course, the coalition forces also had stone catapults, and the stones consumed huge amounts. However, although the coalition forces transported not much stone, they could use the stones thrown in the city, and these stones could be used repeatedly. However, the stone catapults would also be destroyed. The stone catapults of the coalition forces outside the city did not dare to get too close to them, and large stones could not be thrown into the city wall at all.
After seeing the enemy's troops adjust, Xu Sancai dismantled some catapults from two border towns with only 500,000 coalition forces. He ran several times in person and transported hundreds of catapults to the border town with space equipment. The coalition sent flying troops to intercept them twice, but he killed dozens of people one after another, which made the Grand Jin Marshal very distressed.
Xu Sancai was obviously transporting supplies to the city. If it could not be stopped, the tactics of burning grain would be completely ineffective. Moreover, consuming supplies such as throwing stones, arrows, etc. can be replenished at any time, and the original strategy of trapping the city would have no meaning. Although his level of Fierce Wind Eagle was only level 6, its load-bearing capacity and flight speed had exceeded that of ordinary level 6 flying monsters.
With the Fierce Wind Eagle, the ground troops are basically unable to get it. In the air interception, Xu Sancai's Thunder Needle, the magic covered by the magic scroll and the spiritual magic used in secret, it is difficult for General War King to resist. Moreover, no matter how many people fly in the air, it is difficult to attack at the same time. The most important thing is that when moving quickly in the air, it is difficult for those enemies to lock in the target. Most of the attacks of ordinary bows and arrows will fail, and the magic of the magic scroll is almost completely invalid because it cannot lock in the target.
The reason why Xu Sancai was not afraid of revealing his strength to transport supplies himself was mainly because other people, even the King of War of the Thieves Guild, could not lock in the attack during flight. Under the interception of the enemy, no one was sure to escape. Not to mention that once they were intercepted, a large amount of supplies would be lost. Even if the King of War was killed or injured, it would be a loss of the strength of the Qin Dynasty.
The catapult cart transported by Xu Sancai was quickly installed on the city wall. He also carried a large number of crossbows. As long as they were stones and had sufficient crossbows, the losses of the coalition siege troops were naturally inevitable. The main catapult carts and arrow tower siege guards could threaten the city's defenses, while the cloud ladder siege troops were completely suppressed by rolling wooden stones.
