Chapter 182 The Siege Begins
Entering the gate of the imperial capital, Ye Chen and his 20,000 elite soldiers were warmly welcomed by the defenders of the imperial capital and introduced to a military camp on the edge of the imperial city wall.
After arranging his army, Ye Chen took A Da and A Er into the palace to attend the banquet specially prepared for him.
With the arrival of Ye Chen and his army, it boosted the morale of the defenders of the imperial capital, improved the fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the defenders of the imperial capital, and let Hawang and the nobles of the imperial capital see the hope of victory.
Especially after seeing that Ye Chen has 200 holy warriors and 20,000 elite warriors under his command, all of whom are senior soldiers of level 7 or 8, Hawang and the imperial capital nobles are full of confidence in winning the final victory. In their view, with such a powerful sharp knife army, it gathers the top in the imperial capital. Hands can carry out a beheading operation to directly kill Hadaz and win the war.
Because it is still late at night and the sky outside is dark, there are not many people attending the banquet, only some big nobles and royal children in the imperial capital.
At the banquet, Ye Chen inadvertently became the only protagonist. He was warmly welcomed by nobles and royal girls, as well as ambiguous invitations. As long as he wanted, he could enjoy a wonderful girl's body after the banquet.
However, Ye Chen came to the imperial capital not to enjoy the girl's body, but to gain great prestige and reputation. Therefore, he just held a glass and talked and laughed with the children of the aristocratic royal family at the banquet. He did not show any arrogance, which made the great nobles who secretly observed him nod and praise him.
The happy time of the banquet soon passed. Under the guidance of a waiter, Ye Chen also entered a secret conference room to discuss some important imperial ministers such as the new king Hawang and the imperial prime minister of the imperial military minister and the finance minister of the empire.
In the discussion, Ye Chen first emphasized the orthodox legal status of Hawang. After receiving warm praise from Hawang, he slowly said that he had achieved brilliant results tonight, allowing Hawang and the important ministers of the empire to meet the final madness of Hadas.
From Ye Chen's mouth, he learned that most of the grain and fodder needed by Hadas's millions of troops were burned and could not support it for long. When Hawang and the important ministers of the empire showed shock and surprise, they couldn't help asking Ye Chen again. After confirming that what Ye Chen said was the truth, they showed excitement and excitement. The look.
The number of troops under Hadaz's command has reached three million, and the required grain and fodder is also an astronomical figure. Now Ye Chen burns most of his grain and fodder in one fell swoop, relying only on the grain storage in the space ring and the grain and fodder plundered from surrounding cities, and it can't last long to sustain three million troops.
At the same time, even if Hadaz wants to transport grain and fodder from the northern provinces, not to mention the consumption on the road, it will take a week to transport the grain and fodder needed by the three million army. It is estimated that the remaining grain and fodder will be difficult to maintain for so long. Once the Hadazs army cut off the grain and fodder, it will not need to be the imperial capital. If the army does it, it will collapse by itself. At that time, the imperial army can go out to pick up a bargain.
got a great good message from Ye Chen's body. While Hawang and the important ministers of the empire were excited, they quickly said that they would strengthen the defensive power of the imperial capital, raise their vigilance, prevent Hadaz from going crazy, regardless of the casualties of his army, and launched a fierce attack on the imperial capital.
You should know that as the leader of the State of Wu, the imperial capital has been living in the imperial capital for hundreds of years. Most of the aristocrats and merchants of the empire lived in it, storing a large amount of materials, which is enough for millions of people in the imperial capital to use for several years. If Hadaz can break the gate of the imperial capital and enter the imperial capital and obtain the imperial capital before the food and grass are exhausted. The huge amount of materials stored can easily overcome the difficulties. Therefore, in the next week, Hadas, who is unwilling to fail, will definitely launch a fierce attack on the imperial capital regardless of casualties.
Hawang and the important ministers of the empire had a good expectation. After his own grain and fodder were destroyed, Hadaz immediately mobilized millions of troops and various engineering equipment in the morning of the next day to prepare for a general attack in advance.
The defenders of the imperial capital, who were reminded by Ye Chen, did not slack off at all. They increased their vigilance and activated the magic defense system to defend the whole imperial capital, so that the upcoming cruel war would not affect the innocent people in the imperial capital.
As the first human rights figure to support the imperial capital, Ye Chen was invited and authorized by Hawang to move freely above the wall and closely observe the upcoming offensive and defensive battle.
With the passage of time, the Hadaz army arranged a large number of magic crystal cannons and siege equipment in the direction of the city wall east of the imperial capital, as well as a large number of troops of 600,000 soldiers, ready to take the city wall east of the imperial capital as the direction of the main attack.
Although Hadas's main attack direction is the East Gate, the defenders of the Imperial Capital did not dare to neglect the gates in the other three directions and wait for heavy troops to prevent Hadas from breaking through the gates in the other three directions.
When Hadaz's besieged army was ready, Hadaz took a cold look at the tall and strong imperial city wall and issued an order for a general attack.
With the issuance of Hadaz's general attack order, a row of magic crystal cannons six kilometers away immediately made a violent roar. The energy beams containing devastating power crossed beautiful arcs and fell rapidly above the tall and strong wall of the imperial capital without any surprise. It collided with the hood above the imperial capital and made a violent explosion sound, stirring up sparks, making the mask above the imperial capital ripple.
With a row of magic crystal cannons, thick energy beams continue to pour down to the top of the city wall of the imperial capital, making the top of the imperial capital covered by dense columns of light, forming a dense light curtain.
However, this light curtain with the breath of death was blocked by the light mask above the imperial capital and could not fall into the imperial capital, let alone hurt a person in the imperial capital. It could only stir up sparks and make a violent explosion sound, as if continuous firecrackers sounded over the imperial capital.
Ye Chen, standing above the city wall of the imperial capital, looked at the light mask above his head and the falling energy beam, as well as the sparks caused by the collision of the light mask and the energy light column. His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He did not expect that the offensive and defensive battle of the imperial capital turned into a battle between the magic crystal reserves of the two sides.
A quarter of an hour later, the Hadas army outside the city stopped shelling. A team of well-armed soldiers pushed huge siege equipment one by one, made a loud shout of killing, and took firm steps in the direction of the imperial city wall.
At the moment when the Hadaz army stopped shelling, the light over the imperial capital suddenly disappeared. Instead, a famous soldier in armor and holding sharp weapons walked to the edge of the city wall. A powerful crossbow was pushed forward, with sharp arrows, with a compelling cold light, ready at any time. Give the enemy a heavy blow.
Seeing that Hadas' side stopped shelling and his side also turned off the magic defense system, a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He couldn't help walking to a commander not far away and asked puzzledly, "Why did you turn off the magic defense system? You should know that the magic defense system is not only Only the magic crystal cannon that can defend the enemy can also launch a fierce counterattack against the enemy's siege army, killing and injuring a large number of enemy troops!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words and seeing the doubt on Ye Chen's face, the commander knew Ye Chen's identity and status, and it was not a big secret in God's magic defense system, so he opened his mouth and explained, "General Ye doesn't know anything! This magic guide defense system is powered by magic crystals. Every minute it starts, it needs to consume tens of thousands of high-quality magic crystals. With the magic crystal reserve of our imperial capital, it is impossible to open for a long time.
At the same time, the magic defense system is very complex. It took hundreds of years for our magicians to completely understand the magic defense system. They just understand their defense function and do not have the function of counterattack. Therefore, after the enemy does not carry out the magic crystal attack, they will immediately turn it down to reduce the magic crystal. Consumption so that it can last more time.
Hearing the commander's words, Ye Chen knew that the magic defense system was a systematic project, and it took a lot of time and energy for magicians to study it to establish it. In addition, the magic defense system was a scientific and technological product of ancient goblossus, and the drawings built had long disappeared in the dust of history. In Egypt, it is very difficult to build it completely. Therefore, although the imperial capital has a magic defense system, it is only started at a critical moment, and in most cases it is closed.
While Ye Chen talked with the commander, the army under Hadas pushed a large number of siege equipment, took a strong step, made a loud shout, and quickly approached within a kilometer of the city wall of the imperial capital, one by one above the wall of the imperial capital, with powerful crossbows, in an elite soldier. Under the control, a sharp arrow was poured into the dense soldiers thousands of meters away, shot through the body of a famous soldier and nailed it to the hard ground.
With the start of the crossbow above the imperial city wall, a sharp arrow, like a rainstorm, poured down on the soldiers and siege equipment under the wall. At the same time, a famous archer also pulled his bow like a full moon and poured sharp arrows on the soldiers below the wall.
The soldiers under the imperial city wall are dense and occupy all the space. The crossbowmen and archers above the wall do not aim at all. The arrows shot will take away fresh lives.
However, there are too many soldiers under the wall of the imperial capital. Although the number of soldiers killed and injured by the imperial capital defenders is large, it is like a feather to the bones for millions of Hadas troops, and they have not hurt their bones at all.
In a moment, a large number of siege soldiers pushed huge siege equipment and approached the wall, and then the huge siege equipment, climbed the wall, waved the sharp weapons in their hands, and launched a fierce confrontation with the defenders of the imperial capital above the wall.
For a while, above the tall and strong wall of the imperial capital, a well-armed soldier kept waving his sharp weapons and cut off the enemy's body and killing the enemy ruthlessly. Before he could be happy, he was ruthlessly killed by another enemy beside him and became a cold body and thrown down. The city wall hit a large crowd.
Looking at the wall for several kilometers, there are swords and shadows everywhere, fragments of limbs, and blood splashing everywhere. There are bursts of violent shouts, metal collisions, sad screams before death, and the roar of magic explosions ringing over the imperial city wall, forming a unique one. The song.
