Hundreds of huge war drums were beating continuously.
Amidst the sound of war drums that shook the heaven and earth and the shouts and roars of the 200,000 Yunqin army, more than 300 catapults continuously threw stones like houses into the air.
In just a few seconds, the Yunqin army, which had gathered such an astonishing amount of huge ordnance, began to gain the absolute upper hand.
A large crossbow machine fixed on the city wall was smashed to pieces by huge rocks, and the steel crossbow body and winch fell from the city wall.
Some giant catapults in the city that even exceeded the height of the city wall were bombarded by huge rocks, making a mind-numbing sound of crackling giant trees, collapsing, and sending up bursts of smoke and dust.
On Yunqin's side, catapults that looked like giants would collapse from time to time, but the rest of the catapults were still swinging and bombarding.
The scene of house-like boulders flying in the air, falling, and making terrifying crashing sounds lasted for more than an hour.
After more than an hour of continuous bombardment, the city wall on the south side of Seizing the Moon City had been completely smashed into pieces. It was filled with all kinds of boulders and broken rocks. A section of the city wall that was tens of meters long was completely shattered.
Crack, collapse.
Several Yunqin generals who had been waiting for a long time roared loudly at the same time, and the sound of war drums that had already shaken the world became even more intense, like the rushing footsteps of countless giants.
The 20,000 Yunqin heavy-armored sergeants who were already waiting at the front of the array let out a loud roar: "For Yunqin!"
Amidst the loud sound of "rumbling, booming" footsteps, the ground was shaking violently. Twenty thousand sergeants wearing Yunqin Lord's Blue Wolf heavy armor formed a neat square formation, and the cold heavy armor on their bodies reflected the light.
The sunlight, like a towering moving iron mountain, rushed towards the city ahead.
After the collapsed city wall of Seizing the Moon City, there were instantly the sounds of countless gold and iron vibrations and the sound of huge footsteps, and the dust on the entire city wall was falling.
Amidst the clanging sound of gold and iron, countless figures wearing the heavy armor of the Mang infantry's main battle "Night Owl" appeared one after another at the collapsed city wall, instantly forming a sea of metal in the city.
"put!"
Extremely shrill military orders sounded simultaneously with the appearance of these steel giant-like figures.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang..." Amidst the sound of the collision of gold and iron and the sharp sound of breaking through the air, countless crossbow arrows shot by powerful ballistas formed a black cloud of steel and slammed into Yunqin's 20,000 heavy armor.
Soldiers in formation.
The metal heavy armors of countless Yunqin sergeants wearing Qinglang heavy armor exploded under the impact of huge crossbows. The flesh and blood inside shattered and fell backwards. They could no longer get up. However, the entire Yunqin heavy armor army
However, the momentum was still like a landslide and tsunami, without any stagnation. Soon, with a roaring wind, it rushed to the gap in the city and collided with the opponent's army.
"kill!"
The sharp roars of the sergeants at this moment actually overwhelmed the sound of war drums that shook ten miles away and the sound of metal collisions of countless steel bodies colliding together.
The sergeant in the front row was instantly submerged by the wave of metal, but the heavily armored sergeant in the rear continued to rush forward, using all his strength to fiercely swing his weapon forward. Within tens of meters of this gap,
Thousands of people were crowded in an instant, and the steel bodies and weapons were all squeezed together and collided with each other. The torrent of steel from behind was still coming, making the density of this area even denser.
Both sides are pushing forward with their lives, fighting in a grinding manner by squeezing, grinding, and trampling.
A large number of ballistas, bladed chariots and other powerful ordnance behind Yunqin have also followed up. While the catapults are still smashing huge stones onto the city wall and behind the city wall, countless huge crossbow arrows are as big as tabletops.
Large and small rotating giant blades also smashed into the opponent's formation behind the gap like a heavy rain.
The heavily armored troops from both sides huddled together and fought in the heavy rain of metal.
The ocean of metal instantly turned into a sea of blood and flesh. The human body, armor, and weapons were constantly being crushed to pieces, and huge flowers of blood kept blooming.
The number of heavy armored troops on both sides is shrinking sharply, and the ordnance on both sides is constantly being damaged.
Yun Qin's catapults have begun to reduce the weight of the catapults to ensure that the huge rocks can fall behind the city wall without causing damage to his heavily armored troops. The last row of catapults has also begun to move forward. However, at the same time, on the city wall,
The Da Mang troops also continued to pour out, and they pried the big rocks on the city wall and smashed them into the heavy armor army formation. At the same time, these Da Mang soldiers also began to desperately go down the city wall and smashed huge wooden logs into the gaps.
.
On the sixty or seventy archery towers that Yun Qin had erected, thousands of archers also began to fire arrows.
The dense black arrows also formed a new heavy rain and fell towards the city wall.
This brutal fighting lasted from noon to dusk.
The corpses of the heavily armored troops on both sides, as well as various arrows, steel crossbows, huge blades of bladed carts, and boulders dropped by catapults, once again piled up the gap in this section of the city wall to a height of six to seven meters.
Before nightfall, the Yunqin Heavy Armor Army, which was exhausted and even unable to bear the weight of its heavy armor, began to retreat.
During the retreat, only 6,000 of the 20,000 Yun Qin heavy armored troops remained.
The losses of the Damang Army were definitely not lower than those of the Yunqin Army, which still had the upper hand in ordnance. On the first day of the official siege battle, both sides were strangled around this gap, and the total losses of both sides were at least
The price was paid with the lives of more than 30,000 soldiers.
As night fell, countless bonfires were lit in the wilderness outside Seizing the Moon City. The heavily armored troops, unable to fight anymore, retreated to rest, but the large ordnance from both sides continued to bombard them.
After a night of bombardment, several sections of the extremely strong Moon Capture City collapsed, but the remaining wall was still more than ten meters high, still not as good as the gap that almost completely collapsed on the first day, and still could not allow the army to pour in directly. However, after this
After a night of bombardment by huge ordnance, all the large crossbows on the south wall of Moon Seizing City had been destroyed into a pile of metal fragments, and all the large catapults inside that could fight back had been smashed, collapsed and damaged.
On the other hand, on the Yunqin side, in addition to the catapults that were destroyed by Da Mang's catapults and those that were damaged due to continuous use, there are still nearly a hundred catapults standing there.
Facing these catapults, the south side of Seizing the Moon City could only silently endure the situation, letting huge boulders smash against the city wall and smash into the houses behind the city wall.
Under the cover of the still-vibrating catapults, the tens of thousands of infantry troops of the Yunqin Army began to approach the barren city wall, and began to build arrow towers closer to the city wall, which could increase the arrow army's field of vision.
The arrow crossed the extremely wide city wall and fell into the city. At the same time, some large ladders also began to advance.
However, even without the cover of large ordnance, the Da Mang army still put up extremely tenacious resistance.
Rows of shield soldiers and arrow troops gathered on the city wall, braving the dense rain of black arrows, and strangled the advancing Yunqin army. Several large stones from the catapults hit the top of the city wall at a time, knocking out a large piece of large shield armor.
After the soldiers and archers were easily crushed into bloody mud like cockroaches, they were immediately supplemented by a large number of Da Mang soldiers.
From sunrise to dusk, the blood on the city wall keeps flowing like a stream, along the gullies of the city wall.
A Yunqin general, who was riding on a pure black war horse and seemed a bit out of place among the densely packed Yunqin black-armored infantry, looked sternly at the city wall dripping with blood.
For this high-ranking Yunqin general, this kind of strangulation was very beneficial to the Yunqin army.
Because without large-scale ordnance to compete and allowing Yunqin's large-scale ordnance to wreak havoc, the casualties of Damang's army would definitely not be smaller than those of Yunqin's army that took the initiative to attack the city.
Such a nearly one-to-one ratio of casualties, although cruel, would definitely buy the Yunqin army a lot of time, and they would be able to break through this majestic city within a few days.
Yun Qin's army of more than 200,000 surrounded Da Mang's 70,000 to 80,000 troops. They were not afraid of attrition at all. They were only afraid of Da Mang's reinforcements and the subsequent transportation of ordnance and rations to the army.
These high-ranking Yunqin generals naturally have a very keen sense of the entire war situation. They can also feel that Wenren Cangyue probably still has a large number of Damang reinforcements to use, and in their opinion, Wenren Cangyue's only
The opportunity also lies in whether a large number of Da Mang reinforcements can be mobilized to launch an internal and external attack before the Yunqin army captures Moon Seizing City.
The response of the Yunqin Southern Expedition Army was just to drop a terrifying amount of ordnance and heavy armored troops and other powerful troops here regardless of the cost. Also, regardless of sacrifice, they captured this city that determined the entire battle in a very short time.
.
…
Amidst the loud shouts and shouts like a volcanic eruption, the giant ladders of the two Yunqin siege vehicles were about to be lowered onto the city wall.
At the same time, the six thousand Yunqin Heavy Armor Army, which had rested all night last night and all day today, had begun running again, turning into a torrent of gold and iron, and once again began to flow towards the gap on one side.
At this moment, an iron-like figure wearing black and red armor and a long indigo cloak appeared on the city wall covered with blood, mud and gravel.
At this time, I don’t know how many Da Mang sergeants gathered on the city wall, and I don’t know how many arrows were whizzing in the air. At the same time, there were still many giant crossbow arrows and boulders falling hard. Compared with the boulders dropped by the catapults,
, this iron-like figure also seemed very small, but this figure seemed to be carrying infinite magic power, which made the high-ranking Yunqin general and many Yunqin sergeants on horseback notice the appearance of this person at a glance.
.
Immediately, the stern high-ranking Yun Qin general's pupils shrank slightly.
With a sound of "Boom!", the tens of thousands of Yunqin soldiers closest to the city wall soon let out an even greater tsunami-like shout of killing.
Wen Ren Cang Yue!
Although most people have never seen Wen Ren Cangyue's face with their own eyes, at this moment, all of them can be sure in their hearts that this iron-like figure, the commander of the Da Mang army, is Wen Ren.
Ren Cang Yue!
Wenren Cang Yue is actually in this Moon Seizing City!
This treasonous traitor who killed the prince is in Moon Seizing City!
….
Wen Ren Cang Yue walked expressionlessly among the blood mud and stumps. The moment he appeared in front of the two ladders, the air in front of him shook violently, and countless blood and broken flesh flew away from the city wall.
Then, the Seven-Yam Demonic Sword with an aura of contempt and ridicule burst out of the wind in the blast of air, instantly destroying all the black arrows that fell towards Wenren Cangyue, and slashed at the two ladders.
Yunqin's ladder to the sky is completely covered with a finger-thick soft brass, which is extremely tough and difficult to break. It is like an ugly flat ruler-like flying sword, which can be compared with the ladder body that can allow several people to climb up side by side at the same time.
The scale seemed very small, but as soon as the sword light passed by, the first half of the two ladders were completely broken and crashed down.
At the same time, Wen Ren Cang Yue stood still, looking indifferently at the far rear of the tens of thousands of Yun Qin troops, ignoring the hundreds of huge catapults that were still standing, stretched out his hand, turned his palms, and made a downward movement
gesture.
At this moment, the entire Yunqin army erupted into an extremely angry roar.
The high-ranking Yunqin general on the pure black horse in the infantry was also extremely angry, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Wen Ren Cang Yue's gesture was just like the raised middle finger in the world Lin Xi was familiar with. In Yun Qin, it expressed contempt and disdain.
And where he looked, at the very back of the tide-like Yun Qin army, there was a golden tide and a huge and unspeakably majestic chariot.
That is the center of the entire Yun-Qin army, and the place where the president of the Yun-Qin army, Hu Piyi, is located.
Wen Ren Cang Yue was expressing his contempt for Hu Piyi at this moment, and for the entire Yun Qin army... and even for the entire huge Yun Qin Empire.
