After the order was issued, the half-million-strong army immediately dispersed and launched a full-scale attack.
The 300,000-strong army was divided into ten groups and simultaneously launched a general attack on ten surrounding cities.
What Tian Changgong brought this time was not only cavalry, but also various types of troops and countless siege equipment.
Just an hour after the war broke out, Harlandin couldn't sit still.
The Shang army's offensive was so fierce that the heavy siege vehicles flew stones and hit the city wall, creating a big crater.
If this continues, it won't be long before a gap is opened in the city wall.
What depressed Harlandin the most was that the merchant army did not step forward at all and kept bombarding them with siege vehicles without any intention of stopping.
He had never seen such an offensive method before.
In previous offensive and defensive battles, you had to build a ladder first and rely on numbers to attack.
Now, people don't play their cards according to the routine at all. All defensive methods are completely useless at this moment, and even the city wall is about to be opened!
Tian Changgong just looked at a nearby city for a while, then marched straight in with an army of 200,000.
The capture of Harlandin this time is just a cover. No one cares about this guy's life and death. They are just using this cover to destroy Xiliao!
Although Harlandin has been causing trouble and going against the great merchants, in the process, he can constantly create opportunities for the great merchants to destroy the country, so why not do it.
"Prince!" the scout hurriedly climbed up to the top of the city: "The enemy commander passed us and went straight to the hinterland!"
Harlandin's pupils suddenly dilated. He was very familiar with this scene.
When he led a million Garuda army to attack Dashang, his army directly passed him and attacked the hinterland of Garuda.
"Quickly, send the order, abandon the city, break out the whole army, and go to save the royal capital!"
All the soldiers present were puzzled. They didn't understand how they could abandon the city!
In the minds of these people, the city is life, and they must never abandon the city unless absolutely necessary, even if the royal capital falls.
In their opinion, if there is really a crisis in the royal capital, the king can still come here to take refuge.
The most fundamental thing is that they have a small family in this city. If they just give up like this, they will go bankrupt!
"What are you still doing? Hurry up and give the order!"
Harlandin was anxious. If he were a step too late, the whole of Xiliao might be destroyed.
But the generals in front of them remained indifferent.
"Prince, the city has not yet been destroyed. How can you give up so easily? We will never carry out this order. We swear to live and die with the city!"
Harlandin gritted his teeth, but the soldiers in front of him were not his own soldiers in Khwarezm, and they would not listen to his orders at this time.
A huge stone suddenly flew over from a short distance and hit the city head.
A rumbling sound was heard instantly, and large pieces of earth and stone on the city wall shattered instantly. Several generals who had just talked back to Harandin were smashed into meat patties.
Fortunately, Harlandin was in a corner and was lucky enough to save his life.
After hurriedly dusting himself off, Harlandin climbed up to the top of the city again. He suddenly discovered that Dashang's army had already charged forward.
There were no ladders or charging shield soldiers, but a large number of heavy cavalry poured in through the gaps in the city wall like a tide.
Harlandin was suddenly in a daze. This was his first time fighting such a defensive battle, and it was also the first time he fought so cowardly.
There was no chance to fight back, and even the military talents in his head were not able to be used. Half of the city had been lost.
