The First Tyrant of Daxia
Chapter 2461: Fierce Defense of the City
Tagrofi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "That's right, Qin Yun is an idiot. He knew that his army's combat effectiveness was insufficient, but he still let those soldiers go. He is simply courting his own destruction."
He raised the golden sword in his hand high on his horse, "Charge! Kill! Whoever reaches the city wall first will receive a generous reward!"
After hearing Tagrofi's words, his soldiers suddenly became even crazier and pounced towards the city wall like a group of hungry wolves.
"Boom boom boom!"
The enemy pushed the heavy battering ram against the heavy city gate.
Although this city gate has three layers, it could not withstand the continuous impact of the battering ram.
Qin Yun immediately ordered: "Shoot those enemy troops."
In an instant, arrows as dense as raindrops shot from the city wall towards the enemy troops pushing the battering ram.
But under the city wall, a group of enemy troops had already set up ladders and were climbing up the wall at a rapid speed.
Mu Le quickly commanded the soldiers to push down the rolling stones and fallen trees to drive down the enemy troops that were charging upwards.
Then they applied oil on the ladder, which suddenly became extremely slippery. When the enemy climbed on it, they would slip instantly if they touched the slippery parts stained with oil, and then fall off the ladder.
People who are climbing below the ladder also have a chance of being hit directly by people falling from above, and then both of them will lose their homes.
But doing so still cannot stop those guys who continue to climb the ladder like locusts.
"Golden juice is coming!"
The soldier shouted and grabbed a huge spoon filled with boiling hot golden juice. The strange smell made Qin Yun want to vomit.
The soldiers defending the city made way, and the soldier grabbed the spoon and poured the boiling hot golden juice directly onto the enemy.
"what!"
The enemy soldier who was climbing the ladder suddenly screamed, and his head and face were covered with golden juice. He fell directly from the ladder, knocking down many enemy soldiers along the way. The power was very obvious.
Not only the East Gate wall was under constant attack, but the other three gates were also under attack. The entire city was in a huge crisis.
Fortunately, thanks to the continuous perseverance of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp, they were able to barely defend against the fierce attack of the enemy.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, Tagrofi continuously launched attacks on the main city of Noki, and each attack became more fierce than the last, making it difficult for the defenders in the city to breathe.
Night falls quietly.
The flickering bonfire was the only warmth in the darkness.
Many soldiers had wounds wrapped in bandages, and some were even seriously injured with limbs missing.
At this moment they were eating around the campfire, although the war was very cruel and made them lose their former vitality and might even become disabled.
But when it comes to food, Qin Yun treats these loyal soldiers well.
Although there are not many equipments in the main city of Noki, there are a lot of food stored.
This was the only good thing Fred did.
On the city wall, Qin Yun looked into the distance.
Below the city wall were enemy troops tightly surrounding the city.
In order to prevent Qin Yun from escaping, or Qin Yun bringing his troops out to cause trouble, Tagrofi simply released all the soldiers.
Surround the city. He has a lot of soldiers under his command anyway, and they can take turns on guard duty, which is enough for him.
Qin Yun's expression was somewhat serious.
Four days have passed, and their defense strength is gradually weakening.
But the enemy seemed to be energized and fought more and more courageously. If this continued, the city gate would be lost within half a month.
Mu Le put a cloak on Qin Yun and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Even if I die, I will protect your Majesty and help you escape from this city safely."
His eyes were very determined, as if to say that he could definitely do this thing.
Qin Yun shook his head: "Impossible, if this city is breached, Okita Taro will never let me escape. I will not be reduced to running away like a lost dog."
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a terrifying chill. "It's not so easy for Tagrofi to swallow me up. Be careful not to get yourself hurt first."
"Starting tomorrow, we will increase the artillery to defend the city!" Qin Yun sneered, "With the red cannon, it won't be a problem to hold back this group of enemy troops."
However, what made Qin Yun a little worried was the huge fireball that suddenly exploded in the city.
The fireball was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be loaded with black gunpowder. If Tagrofi used it to blow up the city wall, Qin Yun was very worried whether the city wall could withstand it.
Now it seems that Tagrofi did not come here completely unprepared.
Mu Le nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will increase the artillery to defend the city tomorrow."
Defending a city and attacking a city are two completely different things.
Many famous generals are good at attacking cities, but not good at defending them.
In Qin Yun's opinion, defending a city is actually much more difficult than attacking it.
To attack a city, you just need to pile up heads as much as possible and continuously use engineering equipment to attack the city walls. Sooner or later, even the Nan Tianmen Gate will collapse.
After all, this was still the era of cold weapons, and there was no other way to attack a city except to pile up heads.
However, when defending a city, it is very difficult to dispatch troops, make rational use of resources, enhance morale, and control the military's mind.
Especially under this situation - the enemy has an army of 300,000, while we only have more than 10,000 people. The difference in numbers is nearly 30 times, plus the difference in various equipment. It is too difficult to defend this city.
Although Tagrofi had launched a fierce attack in the past few days, Qin Yun knew that Tagrofi's real killer move had not yet been released.
This degree alone was enough to make those defending the city feel terrible pressure, which was really stressful.
Mu Le has done a good job, but Qin Yun feels that Mu Le is stronger in conquering cities and territories, just like his people, full of aggressiveness.
However, it was still a bit difficult for Mu Le to stay in the city. In terms of defending the city, Mu Le's ability seemed to be not as good as Liu Wanshi.
Liu Wanshi may look lazy, but he is a good defender of the city.
Unfortunately, Qin Yun did not bring Liu Wanshi with him during the march.
However, Qin Yun would never have thought that there would be enemies eyeing him covetously in the Persian Empire.
Mu Le said excitedly: "Your Majesty, there will be artillery support tomorrow, so how about I lead the troops out to charge and fight for a while to boost morale?"
Qin Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine, but be careful not to get surrounded, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Mu Le nodded quickly: "Yes!"
