There is still nearly a thousand miles away from Kundidu in Shendu territory.
Kashar is slowly moving forward with his 600,000 troops.
"Lord Kashar, can we really defeat those Tianyun people?
We have been defeated in the previous battles. Those Tianyun people are all wearing invulnerable armor. Our weapons cannot break through the defense at all. How can we defeat them? "
Umda, who had participated in the war with the expeditionary force before, asked Kashaar worriedly. He had seen how powerful the expeditionary force was, so he was not very confident about the prospect of victory in this battle.
But Kashar said with a proud face: "Xie Sheer, you were scared out of your wits by those Tianyun people. Can you still be considered a noble and courageous Kshatriya military noble?
We have an army of 600,000!
And what about the other side?
They only have two hundred thousand!
We also have cavalry and elephant soldiers here, three times as many!
Why can they beat us? "
"But Master Kashar, they also have those very powerful long needles. Once they are shot out, the warriors will fall in pieces. We have no way to deal with these needles!"
Kashar laughed confidently at this: "Stupid Shayre, the needle-like weapon you mentioned is nothing more than a small sword.
It's very easy to block. I don't even know how you fought in the past. Just use a bronze shield or a wooden shield soaked in oil to block it, so that the opponent's long needles will not be able to work.
Before coming out this time, I specially applied for 100,000 oil-soaked wooden shields from the eldest prince. In addition, I also brought 20,000 bronze troops with me, and they also had stronger bronze shields in their hands.
I believe that with these two kinds of shields, those damn Tianyun people's tricks will be useless, and those long needles will no longer be able to cause us huge casualties! "
After saying that, Kashar waved his hand and immediately a soldier brought a bronze shield and an oil-soaked wooden shield.
Kashaar picked up one of his bronze swords and slashed hard at the oil-foamed wooden shield and the bronze shield.
Just listen.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Clang, clang, clang!
Both shields completely blocked the attack of the bronze sword. The wooden shield almost left a mark on it, but the bronze shield was not damaged at all.
"Look! With them, our advantage will be even greater. What bullshit Tianyun people? I will let them know how powerful I, Kashar, are. As long as it is not me who fights them, if it were me, Now maybe there are no Tianyun people left!"
Looking at the arrogant and confident Kashaal in front of him, Xie Sheer was helpless, but for a moment he couldn't think of anything to refute him. He thought about it and then said: "But our 600,000-strong army suddenly arrived at the border, and the other party will definitely notice it. , if the other party is on guard, then our attack will not be too smooth!"
Kashaar waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Don't worry, their envoys have just arrived at our royal capital. They will never attack us without receiving orders from above. At most, they are just a little wary.
it's not a big deal. "
"But we have locked up all their envoys?"
"They don't know! In their eyes, their envoy is probably fighting for their interests, and they won't take any action until the news of the envoy comes back.
Don't worry! "
Kasar's indifferent attitude left Xie Sheer helpless, so he stopped admonishing him.
The 600,000-strong army was still moving slowly and leisurely towards the front line, without any sense of urgency.
…
At this moment, Kunti City.
"Kill!!!"
"The first one to climb up to three levels in a row will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
"Kill!"
Compared to the Yoel defense line that was suddenly attacked, due to the distance, some of the defense line soldiers who escaped from Quinti City informed the news of the expeditionary force's attack.
Therefore, most of Kunti City has been defended. However, Kunti City is just a small city to begin with, and various fortifications were not prepared before. At this moment, there is not much that can be found in the rush.
The only way is to mobilize the young men in the city and take all the things that can be used as weapons to go to the top of the city to defend the city. In addition, the only way is to collect more materials for defending the city such as wood and stones.
Their preparation was fine when facing some bandits, but it was completely useless against the regular army's expeditionary force.
Since it was an attack that had been prepared in advance, the parts of various siege equipment were brought here. It only took a while to assemble them, and soon all kinds of siege equipment of different shapes appeared in Kundi. In front of the city.
The chariots that observe the enemy's situation above the city wall, the ramming chariots that ram into the city gates, the chariots and wooden curtains that protect soldiers approaching the city walls, the trebuchets that project stones from a long distance, and even the giant siege vehicles that rush into Lugong chariots, etc. All kinds of siege equipment were used on the battlefield by the well-prepared expeditionary force!
The whole war lasted less than two hours!
At the first moment, the soldiers of the expeditionary force, under the cover of various siege equipment, used catapults and Linchong Lugong chariots to continuously attack the Shendu defenders on the city wall. They were suppressed and unable to lift their heads.
The soldiers who observed the enemy's situation through the nest car informed us of the situation on the city wall through semaphores.
Immediately afterwards, the army that had been prepared for a long time pushed against the wooden curtain, pushed the tram and the crash car, and charged desperately towards the wall of Kunti City!
The construction level of Kunti City is relatively poor. It only took less than a quarter of an hour before the car crashed, and the thick city gate was forced open by the car!
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who rushed over using the chariots and wooden curtains rushed into Kunti City through the wide-open city gate.
The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, without any lag.
Before the Shendu Yamen guarding the city could react, they discovered that the enemy had already rushed in.
After the close contact began, the defenders of Quinti City were no longer a match for the expeditionary force. The situation of one person chasing a dozen poisonous soldiers away was happening everywhere in the city.
It only took an hour for the siege expeditionary force to completely capture the border city.
All the poisonous officials in Kunti City were captured alive, but the people of Kunti City originally wanted to resist.
Because in the official propaganda of Shendu, they have described the expeditionary force and others as demons from hell.
However, under the ruthless suppression of the army, these resistances were soon completely wiped out.
The entire city of Kunti fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.
The whole process took no more than two hours, which is amazing!
This is an extremely important step. After entering Yorsuba, the biggest difficulty for the expeditionary force will no longer be the opponent's defending army, but the stretched supply line.
Taking the bridgehead of Quinti City means that the expeditionary force has one more supply point, and the troops on the front line can receive support and supplies faster.
Therefore, after the news of capturing Kunti City was sent back to the rear, Ding Hongguang immediately ordered the rear to quickly start transporting military supplies to Kunti City. The expeditionary force was to use Kunti City as a bridgehead to launch attacks on other cities in Youle.
Not long after the fall of Quinti City, other surrounding cities also received the news one after another and stepped up efforts to strengthen their city defenses.
Letters for help were also sent one after another to those behind the scenes.
And when Kashaal, who was rushing here, received that the expeditionary force had actually launched an attack and occupied the city of Kunti.
I was immediately shocked and speechless!
They haven't arrived yet, so why did the expeditionary force actually take the initiative to attack?
As a veteran general for many years, he naturally knows the importance of Quinti City.
However, he had lost the opportunity at this time. Seeing that the other party was about to begin transporting troops into Yolsuba on a large scale, he no longer regained his original leisurely attitude and urged the team to move forward quickly. However, there was at least 100 kilometers left before they arrived. Seven or eight days of work!
Kaushal estimated that by the time they arrived, the day lilies would be cold!
But he had no other choice.
