The Era of Generals

Chapter 420 The Earth Is Trembling

Zheng Yuanyun was looking at the teams on both sides.

The one on the left is indeed faster, but the one on the right is not much slower. The impact hammers on both sides can almost hit the city wall at the same time.

Until now, there is still no response from Tianyuan City.

Did they really not see it, or were they confident in their new city walls, thinking that there would be no problem with withstanding the impact hammer a few times?

But what about the ladder?

Zheng Yuanyun frowned.

If you want to attack the city, it is not just a way to break through the city gate or the city wall and rush in. The ladder is also a key siege tool.

Through the ladder, soldiers can climb directly to the wall when they rush under the city wall. Of course, the defenders can also respond by overturning the ladder or pouring oil on the wood, etc., but there will be a lot of ladders that cannot stand, and there will always be missed.

Once a soldier climbs to the top of the city, this will trigger a chain effect. In order to deal with the enemy who climbed up, the defender will have to send out manpower, then the control over the rest of the ladder will be weakened, eventually leading to more and more More and more enemy troops climbed to the top of the city.

Furthermore, in order to deal with the ladders, the ramming hammer can exert power from below. Although there are many defenders on the top of the city, they cannot compare with the enemy troops spread out below the city in the same area. Can't care less.

Doesn't the other party understand this truth?

Zheng Yuanyun watched his own soldiers rushing closer and closer, but a feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Will the other party fail to see the crisis on both sides?

Then they have to be blind and deaf!

Zheng Yuanyun had no intention of allowing the troops on both sides to sneak. Besides, they were under the city, and they could see everything from the top of the city. How could it be possible to sneak?

On the contrary, after seeing the tragic situation in the middle road, not only did the soldiers under him not back down, but they aroused the blood that they had experienced along the way. With the order to attack, the 400,000 troops on both sides roared loudly , The charging posture is also like a rainbow.

If you haven't seen or heard this, unless the entire Tianyuan City is full of blind people and deaf-mute people.

so……

The original intention of Zheng Yuanyun to send out these two troops was to test how many troops Ouyang Lixing had planted in Tianyuan City.

But the opponent has been indifferent and ignored the attacks from both sides. Isn't it strange?

"Pass down the order..."

To be on the safe side, Zheng Yuanyun didn't want to lose any more troops. He was about to give an order to the messenger soldiers to notify the troops on both sides to change their formation, and use the formation of sharp arrows as a test. The loss of troops will also be less.

However, at this moment, almost at the same moment, the head of Tianyuan city was also secretly observing the situation on the left and right sides, but seeing that the troops on both sides were charging almost, Ouyang Lixing was not greedy, and turned back to send the messenger: "Order to go on, it's ok, let's start both sides together."

The messenger soldier had been waiting for this moment, and when he heard the words, his face suddenly became happy, and he responded excitedly, and threw a black flag down the inner city.

This is the signal they set in advance. The black flag was thrown down in the inner city, which means...

Under the city!

The lower part of the city is not the lower part of the city relative to the top of the city, but the underground!

After Ouyang Lixing realized that Xilong City might not last long, he immediately decided to order all the soldiers to travel day and night, regardless of his own side who was forced to rush for the exhausted army.

Finally, it took at least half a month less time than the original plan to reach Tianyuan City.

Therefore, there is plenty of time left for Ouyang Lixing to deploy his defenses.

In the past half a month, apart from ordering the soldiers to strengthen the city wall, Ouyang Lixing also secretly dug tunnels.

The amount of work for this tunnel was huge, and it was dug deep and long directly from the inner city to the outside. It was dug directly from the bottom of the city wall to the outside of the city.

The tunnel was aimed at the straight sides of the city wall. Ouyang Lixing ordered the engineering soldiers to dig 20 meters underground before digging out. Every few meters they dug out, they would use wooden stakes to fix it to ensure that the city wall would not collapse.

The same is true outside the city, except that after digging outside the city, the tunnel was expanded, almost digging a large and wide square underground, and the square was also supported every few meters by thick wooden stakes for fixation. for.

The difference is that all the wooden piles in the ground outside the city are connected by a specially made ultra-long iron chain.

The iron chain stretched all the way to the underground of the inner city, and was controlled by an engineer unit of more than 10,000 people, waiting for Ouyang Lixing to give instructions.

And now, the long-awaited order has finally arrived!

Immediately without any further hesitation, the two engineering troops hidden underground in the inner city on both sides of the city wall shouted in unison, roared with all their strength, and pulled the two thick and strong iron chains with all their strength.

boom……

Boom boom boom...

The soldiers of the Qingyang Empire who were charging suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from the ground, and the ground also had an unusual wave at this moment.

Without knowing why, the messenger soldier who had been in charge of observing the command flag in his own formation suddenly saw that Mr. Zheng seemed to have a new order.

That flag seems to be...

The messenger soldier had just identified Zheng Yuanyun's new order, and was about to report to the general in charge of commanding the assault force, but at this moment, the vibration under his feet suddenly became violent, and even...

boom!

The muffled sound suddenly turned into a loud noise, and the soldiers who had sensed something was wrong for a long time were at a loss, not knowing whether they should continue to charge forward, and when they were still hesitating, suddenly, a considerable number of soldiers felt that their feet were empty!

Collapsed!

Everyone was dumbfounded, watching the ground collapse in large areas, followed by countless soldiers screaming and falling into the ground following the collapsed ground.

Ladder?

Ramming hammer?

At such a time, it became the murder weapon to crush one's own soldiers, especially the extremely heavy impact hammer. After falling and sinking with the soldiers, it did not know how many people were crushed into meat sauce.

boom!

Boom boom boom!

The subsidence continues.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun felt dizzy and didn't know whether to look to the left or the right.

On the left and right sides... the earth is trembling and sinking, the whole land seems to be boiling, and it seems that two wild beasts woke up from their deep sleep, opened their bloody mouths wide, and swallowed madly.

It was his elite troops that were devoured!

Zheng Yuanyun's heart was bleeding.

He didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, but this kind of loss that didn't damage the opponent at all made him extremely uncomfortable.

These soldiers are all elite soldiers!

Even if there is a loss, it should be an equivalent exchange with the other party.

As for the equivalent exchange in Zheng Yuanyun's ideal, it must at least exchange one for two, or even three!

As a result, his 100,000 stormtroopers on the frontal battlefield were about to be exhausted, while the charging troops on both sides disappeared from sight without even using a single arrow from the opponent...
