As the new commander-in-chief of the Feng Army, Long Mo is also a direct member of the royal family of the Feng Kingdom. He used to be quite prestigious in Pofeng City, and he also has a saint-level cultivation. But now, standing on the tower, he felt very uneasy. , like him, the other Feng Army generals in the city were a little uneasy.
The strength of the Star Army was exactly double theirs, and as the victor, the Star Army had strong morale. On the other hand, their Feng Army was dejected and had no morale at all.
There are still 50,000 recruits among the 100,000 Phoenix Army. Those 50,000 recruits have not received special training. Now it is really difficult for them to fight against the Star Army, which has already had several combat experiences. Long Mo knows that their Phoenix Army and the Star Army There are many gaps between them, but he has a mission and still has to fight for Feng Country.
At the same time, the Feng troops on the tower were looking at the Star Army array below with strange expressions. The high-spirited momentum of the Star Army made them frightened.
Originally with a solid city wall as a barrier, their side had a great defensive advantage, but facing such a huge Star Army, they really lacked courage in their hearts, especially the Feng Army who had seen how powerful the Star Army was. No matter how encouraged the generals above were, those people were only afraid of the Star Army.
The flags of the Feng Kingdom were fluttering in the wind on both sides of the city, and the military morale of the Feng Army was also wavering.
"Kaicheng surrenders, disarms and does not kill, otherwise your city will be destroyed and people will be killed." When Long Mo and a group of Feng Army generals were watching the appearance of the Star Army, Lan Xu, the pioneer general of the Star Army, rode to the city on horseback and stood a stone's throw away from the tower. The location of the Arrow Land directly requires everyone on the city to open the city and surrender.
"Our Feng Kingdom will never surrender." As the head coach of the Feng Army, Long Mo expressed his attitude to Lan Xu without hesitation in the face of Lan Xu's shouts.
The momentum was heroic, and his answer was enough to represent the attitude of the Feng Kingdom's royal family. Lan Wu already understood Feng Kingdom's final decision, and any more words to persuade him to surrender were just a waste of words. After Lan Xu came back, Lan Wu slowed down on the chariot. He stood up slowly and drew his sword directly.
After a clear dragon roar, the heralds who were originally guarding on both sides shouted directly: "Drum!"
"Dong dong dong..." Dozens of war drums beat in unison, and the 200,000 star troops immediately became excited. The soldiers carrying the ladders wanted to rush over as quickly as possible despite the rain of arrows. Lu Yunyou, who likes war, is a little emotional.
"Attack," just when Lu Yunyou was thinking that the morale of the Star Army was too sharp, with just two words, Lan Wu calmly waited for the battle to end.
"Dong dong dong..." The next moment, the sound of the war drums became more urgent, and the soldiers beside the trebuchet started to move together at the commander's reminder. Some were responsible for pulling the beast, and some were responsible for placing stones on the trebuchet.
As the beast pulls, the towed stone trebuchet releases the rope at a specific location, directly throwing stones weighing dozens of kilograms away.
The sound of "whirring" continued, and the stones hit the towering city wall more than a hundred meters away from the catapult at an arc angle.
"Bang..." Not long after, the violent impact sound continued, and the stones smashed into pieces after hitting the city wall, creating a cloud of dust and smoke.
"Ah," a series of crashes were mixed with the frightened cries of Feng Jun when he was attacked. Long Mo stood on the tower and frowned, already a little worried about the Star Army's attack.
The Star Army's position is beyond a stone's throw. The only equipment they can use to deal with catapults is large ballistae. The ballistae can shoot at a distance of more than 200 meters. It is specially used to destroy large equipment such as catapults. But unfortunately Because they were worried that the Star Army would use ladders to attack the city, there were not many cannons deployed on the city.
Then under Long Mo's order, the Feng troops on both sides of the city tower immediately launched a counterattack against the trebuchet of the Star Army with pre-arranged crossbows. A crossbow was launched by several soldiers at the same time. Each soldier's strength was in the sixth level of the martial arts realm. level.
The crossbows used by Fengjun are similar to the crossbows used by Lan Wu when he guarded Huangyan Pass. They are not very efficient. They can only fire one crossbow at a time. However, they are very powerful. The Star Army has not yet rushed over. Those responsible for controlling the crossbows All one has to do is avoid the falling flying rocks.
The Star Army had so many catapults that many of the stones fell right against the ballistas, so those manipulating the ballistas could be in danger at any time.
"Bang..." The stone bricks stacked up on the city wall were severely damaged by the impact. The broken stone bricks fell down the city. The originally strong city wall was soon riddled with holes. The Feng army who stayed above were killed and injured. Few people survive.
Only the location of the city tower was relatively safe. The Star Army seemed to deliberately avoid Long Mo and others, and only occasionally used trebuchets to hit the city gate in the hope of breaking it open.
Because the Star Army made a lot of noise when they attacked Breakwind City, the civilians in the city knew almost immediately based on the roaring sound that the two armies had started fighting. At this moment, the streets some distance away from the city gate were full of people, including women, children, old and young. Most of them, many of them were carrying bags on their backs. Once the Feng Army was defeated, they would quickly evacuate from Po Feng City.
Originally, the Feng Kingdom royal family and those responsible for maintaining order in the city had all been sent to participate in the war, and almost no one was maintaining order in the city.
In the palace, when the news came that the Star Army was approaching the city, the leader of the Feng Kingdom was discussing the military situation with a group of ministers.
The fact that the Star Army attacked the city made the atmosphere of the meeting very tense. When Fenghuang asked questions related to the decisive battle between the two sides, some ministers advocated that all personnel and the army should persist until the last moment; some ministers advocated that the army still blocks them. Evacuate as soon as possible to prevent the huge Feng Kingdom from being destroyed. Regardless of the outcome of the parliament, the princes, princesses and concubines in the palace are ready to evacuate.
No matter how lenient the Star Army is, if the royal family members do not leave, once the city is broken and the Star Army reaches the palace, no one will have a good ending.
Also staying with the monarchs and ministers of the Feng Kingdom was Tang Jinjian, a soldier from the Ancient Yuan Kingdom. For some reason, his request for help from the Ancient Yuan Kingdom was not approved. Once again, Tang Jinjian could only place all his hopes on the Feng Army.
Of course, after experiencing several battles in a row, Tang Jinjian, who was well aware of the power of the Star Army, fully understood the final outcome of this decisive battle. However, due to the mission given by the ancient Yuan Kingdom, he did not leave early.
However, after Fengguo was defeated, he still had to go back to resume his life. Because of the many troubles in Fengguo, he would probably be punished after returning. But at this point, he had no other choice but to lament that he had joined the army. It's not easy.
Regardless of the situation in the palace, the sound at the city gate was loud. Under the continuous attack of catapults, the walls on both sides of the city tower had been smashed to pieces. Nearly half of the Feng troops originally stationed above were killed, and the rest were in the ruins. Zhong tried his best to find a safe location. Although Pofeng City was the capital of Feng Kingdom, the city walls didn't seem to be strong.
The tall city gate was broken open after being hit by rocks many times. Not surprisingly, the back of the city gate was blocked by something. Of course, this had no impact on the Star Army's invasion of the city.
In the past period of time, many trebuchets of the Star Army have been attacked by ballistae. Some were broken at the waist, and some were partially damaged and lost their function. In addition, many ballistae missiles missed some stars. Military or ferocious beasts caused some losses to the Star Army, but of course it would not have an impact on the overall Star Army.
After the use of the trebuchet achieved the results they expected, Lan Wu directly issued the attack instructions. Immediately afterwards, countless long formations in the Star Army formation went straight to the city wall.
"Come on," shouts erupted one after another from the front of the Star Army array, and countless soldiers carried ladders to demonstrate loudly to the Feng Army on the city.
At the same time, Long Mo on the city tower immediately ordered more manpower to be deployed for defense. Immediately afterwards, countless Feng troops hiding behind the city wall ran to the city from the long ladder, and then went to the designated position to attack the overcoming Star Army.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The sound of arrows flying suddenly became one. Thousands of arrows flew towards the star army running below, round after round. In the blink of an eye, there were thousands of arrows in the sky. number.
"Raise your shield," on the other side, the generals in front of the Star Army did not panic when faced with so many arrow attacks, and gave defensive instructions to the soldiers behind them.
After two months of training, the Star Army's performance was indeed extraordinary. After receiving instructions from the generals above, they methodically raised the wooden shields they held in their hands to form rows of shield walls.
"Ding, clank, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang," clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, arrows hitting the shield, but few arrows could penetrate the shield, and even fewer arrows hit the Star Army. Even if some Star Army fell under attack, If the ground cannot move forward, the rest of the people will still carry the ladder and continue to move forward without slowing down at all.
In addition, when the Phoenix Army shot at the Star Army with bows and arrows, the Star Army archers who followed the vanguard were also not idle. After reaching the shooting range, under the command of the General of the Arrow Camp, the archers of each square stopped in unison. Launched an attack on the Feng army on the city.
"Boom, boom, boom," there was a series of arrow sounds, and countless sharp arrows flew towards the Feng army on the city.
"Ah..." When those arrows fell, the Phoenix Army on the city fell one after another after being attacked. The damaged city wall greatly lost its protective effect. Those archers standing on it were more dangerous than the Star Army charging below. No, After Shaofeng's army was hit by an arrow, he fell directly from the city. He was either dead or disabled. The remaining archers were so frightened that they could not even attack normally.
