The capital has never been so quiet. After the military control ban was implemented, even during the day, pedestrians were rarely seen walking on the streets.
This is a depressing thing that has never been seen in the history of the capital for more than 300 years.
No matter who knows that this place will no longer be calm
Wu Tianhu stood on the wall of the capital, looking indifferently at the Shura soldiers below. He understood the current situation. The most difficult battle in the Condor Hero Empire had arrived...
Since the founding of the country, the Condor Empire has never fought such a war. The result of the war will be directly written into the roulette of history. No matter who wins in such a war, who will be the future overlord of the mainland. This is undoubtedly
Wu Tianhu understands the importance of the capital. Once it falls, it may directly lead to the destruction of the Condor Hero Empire. Even if the Shura people evacuate from this land in the future, the result will not change. The future history of the continent may start from this moment. I hope this will not let the history of the Condor Hero Empire enter darkness from now on.
There is no conclusive measure in anyone's mind about how the war should continue, or it is an era that has never been seen. In such a turbulent era, I'm afraid even God will not know who should do what it should do.
The situation of Lu Chong, deputy commander of the Central Army, is probably the least optimistic. Now the third, twelfth and thirteenth armies of the Shura Army have surrounded Lu Chong on the Liusu Plain on the south bank of Long River. They did not carry out a large-scale encirclement operation, but blocked Lu Chong's passage to the capital, set up checkpoints and encircled them layer by layer. As long as Lu Chong's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are entangled and he will not return to the capital, the battle for Tianjing will be half won.
But Lu Chong also understood the psychology of Shura people. At this critical moment, no army would fight to join the siege with him. As long as he did not break through the direction of the capital, the resistance he was not too strong.
Lu Chong knew that if he did not return to the capital, it would be a matter of time before the capital was broken. After all, without foreign aid, the isolation of the capital was unparalleled. The Shura people were bound to win, and the Condors would be tenacious to the end, without any room for compromise and negotiation.
It can be said that no matter how wide the rear of the Condor Man is, there will be no fortress that can be comparable to the capital. Psychologically, it is a terrible blow to the Condor Man's resistance. A nation that lacks a sense of security will not have the courage to resist with all its strength.
But Lu Chong also understood that his most important role now is not to defeat the advancement Shura Army, but to coordinate the future national defense operations from the overall strategy.
After five days of thinking, Lu Chong resolutely retreated eastward, retreated to Dongtian City, and gave up the combat policy of returning to the capital in a straight line.
Lu Chong understood that the east of Dongtian City was the richest place in the empire and the largest food place. From there, he could get sufficient rest and supplies. Then he took the Long River or Meishui River, joined forces with Nantian City and Beitian City to send troops to the capital, and attacked Shura Army in three directions.
Although such a battle would take twice as much time than usual, Lu Chong believed that the capital city where Wu Tianhu and Zhuge Qingyun were stationed was not so easy to break, and Wu Wudi did not leave, which invisibly shocked the Shura people.
In response to this, Lu Chong could firmly believe that at least the capital would not surrender without fighting. As long as he was given two months, he could move to the flanks of the Shura Army and directly hit the tail and central parts of the Shura Army from the flanks. He used cavalry and heavy armored soldiers to assault, and cooperated with the geographical efforts of the capital. Maybe he could defeat the main corps of the Shura Army before the fall of the capital.
Especially the main force of the Shura clan
It can be said that from a strategic perspective, Lu Chong failed to seize the best opportunity to return to the capital, which directly caused the capital to be isolated. Lu Chong did not grasp the overall strategic deployment in the early stage of this war, which suddenly fell into a very helpless situation.
It was not until later that Lu Chong completely gave up his knight glory as a soldier and made a great decision from a global perspective. In a sense, Lu Chong's strategic shift fundamentally saved the destruction of the Condor Empire.
The army of the six Shura tribes completed a large-scale gathering about five miles away from the capital. This is the largest military gathering in the history of the Shura people. It can be said that there has never been such a large-scale military gathering in the history of the Shura people, and the target of the attack is the same.
The huge defense system in Tianjing made Prince Qinglong dare not slacken at all. After all, this is the capital, the first fortress of the Condor Hero Empire. If his command is improper, countless Shura warriors will lose their lives. I hope the resistance here will not be strong.
On that day, the Shura army did not launch an attack impatiently, but formed an encirclement of Tianjing, cutting off the water and land transportation lines on the east, south and north of the capital, making it completely an isolated city and losing contact with the outside world.
There is a Shura army besieging the city, and there are a Shura army's horned eagle beast patrolling the sky. On the earth and in the sky, they are all within the control of the Shura people, even if the capital city wants to ask for help from the outside world, the letter cannot be sent out.
In isolation and helplessness, not only the Shura people optimistically believed that even many eagle people pessimistically believed that it would be a matter of time before the fall of Tianjing was a matter of time.
On March 17, 1677, in Tianjing City, the Shura tribe coalition completed the assembly of the siege. Nearly one million soldiers surrounded Tianjing City from all directions, and densely packed armies and corpses set up camp one after another.
The big attack against the Lone City is about to begin
The highest commander-in-chief of the front line of the siege was Shura Qinglong, the crown prince of the Shura Empire. The troops he commanded not only included the Shura clan's army, but also the soldiers and horses of the Kinnara, Garuluo, Yasha and other tribes, as well as a large number of Condor Heroes rebels under Cheng Youcheng and his son's subordinates.
At first, in order to preserve his own strength, Prince Qinglong originally planned to be the siege operation, which was first completed independently by the Condor Rebels, and the local regular army of the Shura tribe did not participate.
But a few days ago, he heard that His Majesty, his father had arrived in Xitian City and was rushing to Tianjing
According to the news from Xitian City, during the conversation, the Shura Emperor showed impatience to the speed of the Shura army's advancement. Prince Qinglong had to consider: If he could not seize Tianjing in a short period of time, then his prince would appear very incompetent in front of his father. Moreover, the Shura elite who had spent millions could not take down the capital of the enemy country, which would have the might of falling into the Shura army.
Therefore, he still ordered all the regular Shura legions to be prepared to fight, although he himself thought that this was completely unnecessary. The wave of hundreds of thousands of rebels was enough to destroy Tianjing City.
On March 18, after a day of rest, the Shura army launched an attack on Tianjing City.
According to the policy set by Prince Qinglong before the war, the feint attack on the east, south and west sides, and the north gate was the main attack.
The reason why I chose the main attack of the North Gate was because the terrain of the North City in Tianjin was the most open and was most conducive to the development of the army.
Starting from dawn, the trumpets of the Shura Army and the Condor Rebels were roaring together, the military horns were clanging, and the gongs and drums were pounding eastward, and the thunder was shaking like thunder.
Countless soldiers and horses shouted like mountain torrents and tsunamis together, and then rushed under the city.
The attack began, and the guards of the Condor Heroes felt that the entire city wall and the earth were trembling. Even the veterans who had experienced many battles had never seen such a fierce attack.
The fog in the morning dissipated a little, and the condor soldiers could clearly see the enemy's first wave of attacks, and were stunned: the ones rushing to the front line of the enemy's formation were not shameless rebel infantry or brave Shura cavalry, but countless condor prisoners
Most of these prisoners were civilians who had not had time to hide from Shura's soldiers. Most of them were elderly people, children, women, and many were young and middle-aged people. They were condor officers and soldiers who were captured in previous operations.
They carried sandbags on their shoulders and were ordered to fill the moat. The rebels and Shura soldiers followed them to arrest them, whipped them with whips, pierced guns, and slashed them with sabers, forcing them to move forward
They ran and cried and wailed: Don't shoot arrows, we are our own people
A cry and wailing sounded high into the sky, making people cry when they heard it. The enemy hoped to use this method to force the moat, and further disintegrate the fighting spirit of the guardians of the Tianjing City.
The military judges who supervised the battle yelled: Launch the arrow! Launch the arrow! Don't let them get close!
But the soldiers hesitated. How could they bear to shoot the arrow stone at their compatriots when the arrows were hanging down?
I can't bear to watch this cruel scene. Several soldiers cried and wanted to leave the city. They were mistakenly thought to escape and were shot ruthlessly by the supervisory team.
Many soldiers shouted at the city with loud voices: Don’t come here! Run! Don’t come here!
Some prisoners stopped for a moment, but were immediately killed by Shura cavalry without hesitation. Hundreds of people instantly corpses were everywhere.
The remaining prisoners were shocked and began to move forward again
Wu Tianhu Qingli's voice spread throughout the city: I order, shoot an arrow immediately!
Someone shot the first arrow and the second arrow. The soldiers hesitated, and the arrows were like rain. Watching their compatriots screaming and pounced down in their hands, even the serene and heartless judge of the Supervisor was in tears.
But the enemy did not give up, drove out batches of prisoners and forced them to advance. The moat became bright red and gradually was filled with sand, stones and flesh.
Stepping on the bridge built by flesh and blood, the Shura Army and the rebel coalition forces rushed up with shouts, intensively fighting each other. At the front were the powerful rebel infantry. These 30,000 people were elite troops in the rebels, and they were specially selected to take the lead. Cheng Youcheng and his son knew that they would suffer the most tenacious resistance here.
Thirty thousand rebels were gasping for breath, their bodies were covered with iron armor, and their sabers were waving in their hands.
The second line is equipped with a strong Garuda Legion of 100,000 vitality. The Garuda Army is not only good at fighting field battles, but also particularly suitable for siege battles because they have talented climbing skills.
They are equipped with spears and spears and will begin close combat
Then, there was a mixed team of more than 100,000 rebels. They were all promised: If the city could be broken today, everyone could get a reward from the boss. The first soldier to enter the city, whether soldier or officer, could be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, and appointed as the head of any county of the Condor.
If the leader of Wuwang, His Majesty Shura will be appointed as a marquis
Hearing such tempting conditions, the rebels' eyes turned red. Before the war, they drank enough wine to boost their courage and shouted: My parents gave birth to me only once!
With all your energy, you will rush forward
Next came the powerful 10th Army, known as the Tianlang Legion commanded by the Left Wolf King Shurateng.
In comparison, the Chaos Rebels' troops are in a messy manner, and the Shura regular army appears to be orderly and neatly arranged.
The formation is a scattered line, and rows of archers, knives, axe players, gun stingers, and shield players are combined in a smooth and uneven manner, showing the killing in a neat manner
Since the cavalry could not be used in the siege, they all dismounted and carried their scimitars high.
The Tianlang Legion is famous and has a strong combat power. It is a meritorious force since the war started. In the battle of Xitian City alone, they wiped out more than 100,000 Condor Heroes Army in one fell swoop, causing Zhao Dianchen, the guard of Xitian City to die in battle and General Zhenxi, the guard of the Xitian City, and only a few thousand people were lost.
Behind them was the Yaksha Legion of the six Shura tribes. After the war started, this legion did not make any decent military achievements. Instead, it was surrounded by Lu Chong's army in Mianyang and almost wiped out the entire army.
The commander of the legion Ye Fei made up his mind to break the city first today, take down the heads of Wu Wudi or Wu Tianhu, and become famous in one fell swoop. He was also very dissatisfied with today's order: Why not rank our team to the lead?
Their queue seemed a little irritating, and the front team ran into the rear team of the Sky Wolf Legion several times.
Behind him, there were countless Shura Shengli teams.
Because it is too crowded, it is difficult to tell who is whom. The dense flow of people rolls forward like the water flowing, slowly but unstoppable
In the distance, the second royal army of the Shura clan's main formation remained unmoved, and the square formation was as solid as a rock
The Royal Legion includes 50,000 Shura Iron Guards with extremely strong combat power. They are Shura Emperor's personal guards. Shura Emperor specially sent some to help Prince Qinglong, hoping that he could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Thousands of high city-climbing ladders approached the city, and the siege vehicles that were stalking all the way slowly approached the city. These equipment were originally prepared by the Shura people to capture the fortress of Xitian City, but Prince Qinglong used a strange strategy to conquer Xitian City, which also allowed these siege equipment to be used later. Now it was very useful.
So many soldiers and horses filled the vast plains under the city of Tianjing. They were one after another, with the front row and the back row next to each other, so crowded that it was difficult to breathe the leader of the Condor Rebels, and Cheng Youcheng, the front-line commander of the attack.
This is a depressing thing that has never been seen in the history of the capital for more than 300 years.
No matter who knows that this place will no longer be calm
Wu Tianhu stood on the wall of the capital, looking indifferently at the Shura soldiers below. He understood the current situation. The most difficult battle in the Condor Hero Empire had arrived...
