Chapter 167

"Kill!"

The battle of the other two vice gates of bo'an city began at the same time.

As mentioned earlier, bo'an city is built along the mountain. These two auxiliary city gates are blocked by the mountain. The degree of construction is only half that of the main city gate. Moreover, the mountain is steep, which is easier to defend and harder to attack than the main city gate.

Therefore, although only 100000 garrisons are reserved on the side of the vice city gate, they can still keep calm when they see the enemy attacking twice as much as themselves.

The same tactics, but because the terrain on the side of the vice city gate is narrower and more conducive to defense, the number of stormtroopers sent by the generals responsible for attack on both sides has surged to 50000!

There's no way.

Although the number of stone catapults at the head of the city is not as large as that at the main city gate, it is also an exaggerated number. It is impossible to get close to the moat in the huge flame stones smashed like a storm without a lot of human lives.

This is the geographical advantage occupied by the defenders in the siege, and it is also the price that the siege side will pay most of the time.

There were constantly heralds shuttling between the battlefields on both sides to immediately send the news back to Zhang Chengwang.

"So, Boan city is nothing different!"

After hearing the report from the herald, Zhang Chengwang had not opened his mouth. There were generals nearby who couldn't help but glare at Guo Zi.

Like Feng wuna and other generals who focus on the way of generals, when Zhang Chengwang said that there would be changes in three days, many generals in the big account probably guessed the reason.

Today's siege, to put it bluntly, is that Zhang Chengwang is testing the change with the lives of his soldiers.

Three gates, a total of 600000 troops, I wonder if we can withdraw half after the war?

In other words, because of Guo Zi's intelligence, Zhu Yan's empire will lose nearly 300000 troops!

Although there are more than two million huge troops gathered outside Boan at the moment, it is human life after all, not a simple addition and subtraction method. If you say nothing, it will be gone!

Just because of the misinformation brought back by these two hateful guys?

After seeing the orderly response of bo'an City, many experienced generals on the spot can see that the city gate can't be attacked.

Unless Zhang Chengwang increases his forces to attack the city.

But is this still necessary?

Bo'an city is still that bo'an city. It still has an overwhelming advantage in defense. They increase troops. Does the other party have less reinforcements?

When the two sides offset each other, it is still those who can only fight with their lives. After the final loss of troops, whether they can retreat without saying that they attack the city is a problem.

So the situation seems to be back to the origin.

Besieging the city is OK. There are no more troops in bo'an city to go out to fight, but attacking the city is not OK. There are also not enough troops on my side to defeat bo'an city.

The only difference is that they lost 300000 troops!

And who is to blame for all this?

He glared at the generals of Guo Zi and wanted to rush up and tear them, otherwise it would be difficult to solve their hatred!

"No, wait first."

Zhang Chengwang looked coldly at the direction of bo'an City, waved to stop individual impulsive generals, and said, "if there is no change... In fact, there are some."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of the other generals immediately converged, without doubt and inquiry.

Zhang Chengwang didn't answer, but just stared at the direction of bo'an city gate.

There, Zhu Yan's stormtroopers, who lost nearly four fifths of their hands, finally landed!

More than 10000 people, after a short sprint of a few hundred meters, there are only less than 2000 soldiers who can really reach the bottom of bo'an city!

But it's not over.

These two thousand people did not just cross the moat. They also shouldered the huge task of putting down the suspension bridge for the later large forces to attack the city.

At this time, the garrison on the city tower was also anxious. Many archers leaned out half of their bodies and lowered their arrows from a high position. The early prepared wood and rolling stones were also smashed down like money. In addition, ladle after ladle of hot copper oil poured out, and all kinds of means to defend the city were beyond their reach.

Except

Zhang Chengwang's eyes were slightly frozen. He was not looking at the charging soldiers who were struggling to move forward close to the city wall, but at the gate of bo'an city.

Of course, he can't see the gate now.

After the huge suspension bridge connecting bo'an city and the outside world was raised, the main city gate had been blocked by the suspension bridge. Zhang Chengwang's eyes seemed to have penetration ability. Through the suspension bridge, they fell firmly on the main city gate.

"The main city gate... Didn't open."

Zhang Chengwang shook his head and frowned slightly.

"The main city gate?"

The generals also looked over there. Although everyone could not see the main city gate through the suspension bridge, they could infer from the situation under the city wall.

No soldiers from Boan city are outside wall!

Seeing this, the generals who thought there was no change also bowed their heads and meditated.

The importance of the suspension bridge in bo'an city is self-evident. If the suspension bridge is put down by the Stormtrooper, the role of the moat will be weakened by more than 60%, giving Zhu Yan's army the opportunity to directly protrude through the city gate.

Therefore, the suspension bridge must not be lost.

However, even so, the garrison on the tower only used long-range means to deal with the enemy under the city wall, even if they saw the other party clinging to the city wall and holding up a huge shield, prevented a large number of attacks, and approached the suspension bridge step by step.

These stormtroopers are also very experienced. As soon as they get ashore, they stick close to the wall. Although the huge shield is raised too high, it also tilts slightly. It can cushion the effect of challenging wood and rolling stones. At the same time, it can also ignore the arrow rain and copper cave attack.

At this time, the shields of most Zhu Yan soldiers ignited a raging fire because of copper oil, but for them hiding under them, they could hold on for the time being, except that the shield handle became hotter and hotter.

Under such a stormy attack, Zhu Yan's soldiers are biting their teeth and are coming to the suspension bridge step by step.

It is said that at this time, the commander on the tower can sweep under the wall at a glance.

In order to ensure that the suspension bridge was not lost, he ordered the soldiers to rush out of the city gate, quickly solve the one or two thousand people, and then go back. It was a relatively safe practice.

After all, there is a moat. There are absolutely not many soldiers who can attack under the city wall at the same time on the side of Zhu Yan empire. They have enough time to respond.

Moreover, the terrain of bo'an city is like a funnel, and the wider it goes out, so this is also the reason why it is difficult to fight against bo'an city after Zhu Yan Empire occupied the periphery.

At the same time, their soldiers pouring out of the city gate are certainly not as many as each other. It would be better to stick to the wall if they fought less and fought more.

But the enemy had attacked under the wall, but they said two more.

This is equivalent to the fact that the Zhu Yan Empire also had no more space to arrange more troops. In terms of terrain, the two sides were actually pulled to the same level.

In that case, why not send troops out of the city?

If bo'an city still has more than two million defenders, why fear this consumption?

The commander on the tower did not dare to open the city to meet him. What was he worried about?
