Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 640 Giant trebuchet

In the early morning of October 26th, the Western Seven Powers, composed of the Europa Empire, the Suomi Empire, the Kyiv Empire, the Lordland Empire, the Franks Empire, the Alba Empire, and the Delman Empire, rested in peace. At least six million troops gathered outside the city, preparing to launch an attack on the city of Rest.

On the wall of the city of rest, Yassar, the prime minister of the country of rest, said to King Odunrent with a sad look: “Your Majesty, the Western Allied Forces have completely surrounded the city of rest. The young and strong recruited from various places cannot enter the rest of the world. The city is over. Looking at the posture of the Western coalition forces today, they should be ready to attack the city!”

King Odun Lent looked at the western coalition forces outside the city and gritted his teeth and said: “Now there are 600,000 troops and 1.7 million young men and women recruited in the city of Ansi. We will definitely be able to hold the city of Ansi. !”

Before the Seven-Power Allied Forces in the West arrived in the city of Anxi, Prime Minister Yassar finally mobilized 400,000 young men into the city of Anxi, making the defense force of the city of Anxi reached 2.3 million, but nearly three-quarters of it. They were all temporarily recruited young men. Among these civilians, the young men were able to imagine their combat effectiveness, so don’t look at King Odon Lent’s words that he would be able to defend the city of Rest. In fact, King Odun Lent knew very well in his heart, if Dawan State, Cheshi State, and Pozu Army did not send troops to rescue the city of Anxi. It would be a matter of time before the fall of the city of Anxi.

Prime Minister Yassar then walked to the front of King Odun Lent and said in a low voice: “It is better to take advantage of the Western Allied Forces before the attack, your Majesty the King will leave the city of Rest! There are ministers and the Duke of Kakisim in the city of rest. , Will definitely fight to the end with the Western Allied Forces!”

There is a tunnel leading to the mountainous area outside the city in the palace of the city of Siberia. So although the Seven-Power Allied Forces of the West have surrounded the city of Siberia, it can still be done if King Odunrent wants to leave the city of Siberia.

Duke Kakishim is said to be the most prestigious general among the Parthian army, and he stands not far from King Odunlund at this time.

King Odun Lent hesitated and said, “If this king leaves, it will affect the morale of the defenders of the city. As long as there is a glimmer of hope that the city can be held, this king will never leave the city!”

Then King Odun Lent turned his head and asked Duke Kakishim loudly: “Kakishim, can you dare to follow this king out of the city to meet this Western coalition for a while?”

Duke Kakishim immediately said loudly: “Why do your Majesty the King go out in person, the minister is willing to lead the elite of his subordinates to go out of the city to meet the Western coalition forces for a while!”

“Okay! This king personally cheered for the soldiers who went to fight!”

In front of the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations outside the city of Rest, Prince Anasta of the Europa Empire smiled and said to Duke Grigo of the Suomi Empire: “Duke Grigo, according to our agreement yesterday, the Suomi Empire will today The army will take the lead. I hope Duke Grigo will win the battle. There is a lot of wealth and beautiful women waiting for us in the city of Anxi!”

Duke Grigo of the Suomi Empire raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “Prince Anastas rest assured that if our Suomi Empire can break through the city of Rest today, I will definitely choose a few beautiful rest for Prince Anasta. National beauty!”

According to the agreement made by the commanders of the Seven-Nation Allied Forces in the West yesterday, the seven-nation armies will take turns to attack the city of Anxi. The army of which country will break the city first, the army of which country will be given priority to choose the spoils.

Prince Anastar of the Europa Empire laughed and said: “Then I will be waiting for Prince Grigo’s gift!”

While the Europa Empire was talking with Prince Grigo of the Suomi Empire, several gates to the west of the Parthian city suddenly opened. The Duke Kakishim of the Parthian nation brought fifty thousand cavalry and one hundred thousand. The infantry drove out of the city in mighty force.

Seeing that the troops of the Parthian nation dared to leave the city, Prince Anastar of the Europa Empire couldn’t help but smiled and said: “I didn’t expect the Parthian people to have the courage to go out of the city at this time to fight, Lord Grigo, and then look at your Suomi Empire. show!”

Duke Grigo of the Suomi Empire said grimly: “The battlefield is not just about courage. Since these Parthians want to die, then our Suomi Empire will fulfill them!”

Duke Grigo of the Suomi Empire then directly dispatched a legion to meet the Parthian army out of the city.

The military establishments of Western countries are similar. Each squadron has 80 to 100 people. Every ten squadrons make up a squadron, about 800 to 1,000 people. Every five squadrons make up a squadron with about 4,000 people. Five thousand people, every five brigades form an alliance, about 20,000 to 25,000 people, and every five alliances form a corps, about 100,000 to 125,000 people, that is to say, the West The strength of each legion in each country is more than 100,000.

The army of the Suomi Empire sent by Duke Grigo was composed of a cavalry wing and four infantry wing, with a total strength of 125,000.

When the army of the Suomi Empire posed for battle in front of the Parthian army, there was a general on the side of the Parthian nation, urging the horse to come to the front of the two armies, and shouting at the generals of the Suomi Empire.

However, the Western armies did not have the tradition of fighting generals, and the generals of the Suomi Empire did not understand what the general of the Parthian nation was shouting. So the commander of the Suomi Empire who went into the battle waved his hand and brought two. Five thousand cavalrymen of the Suomi Empire and one hundred thousand infantrymen of the Suomi Empire smashed into the Parthian army out of the city.

Duke Kakishim, the leader of the Parthian nation, saw that the western coalition sent troops to fight, and there were no more soldiers than the soldiers he had brought out of the city. He immediately pointed his spear forward and brought fifty thousand from the Parthian nation. The cavalry and one hundred thousand infantry greeted them.

In the Suomi Empire and the armies of other Western countries, the cavalry accounted for a small proportion, and infantry was the main force of the Western countries.

The infantry of Western countries is divided into heavy infantry and light infantry. The heavy infantry is basically equipped with iron helmets, iron breastplates on the upper body, shin armor, a buckler in the left hand, and a spear in the right hand. The length of the spear is generally between two meters and three meters. In addition, the heavy infantry is equipped with a short sword at the waist, and the light infantry is generally equipped with leather armor and shields. It mainly supports heavy infantry operations. The light infantry also includes bows and arrows. Hand and sling.

The sling is a unique unit in the armies of western countries. The sling uses a sling line, which can easily throw the cobblestone out of a long distance, usually between one hundred and two hundred meters.

The structure of the sling is very simple. Two belts of the same length are tied with a skin bag in the bag. The sling is placed in the bag, and the end of the belt is swung and rotated at the top of the head. When the speed reaches the maximum on the fourth and fifth laps, release a belt. , The stones in the bladder are thrown along the tangent direction, and the slings used are also processed and polished smoothly, making the flight path of the cobblestone more straight and stable.

In the western armies, the heavy infantry phalanx is the absolute main force. When fighting, the heavy infantry is lined up in a long horizontal line, the first three rows of soldiers raise their spears at the enemy, and the people behind put their spears on the shoulders of the people in front. The entire heavy infantry phalanx has spears like forests, like a giant thorn. The two wings and front of the heavy infantry phalanx are equipped with light infantry and cavalry.

After the battle begins, the archers and slingers in the heavy infantry phalanx shoot arrows and throw stones at their opponents in order to disrupt the opponent’s formation, and then the heavy infantry phalanx rushes towards the enemy like a hammer.

Although the Parthian nation has an advantage in the number of cavalry, the 50,000 cavalry unit of the Parthian nation was hit by the collision with the heavy infantry phalanx of the Suomi Empire. The heavy infantry phalanx of the other side was not opened, while the infantry of the Parthian nation faced the heavy infantry phalanx of the Suomi Empire, and the performance was even more unbearable and almost collapsed.

Duke Kakishim saw that his cavalry and infantry were not the opponents of the heavy infantry phalanx of the Suomi Empire, so he had to issue an order to withdraw to the city.

The army of the Parthian nation that finally left the city, under the cover of a large number of archers on the wall, retreated to the city in embarrassment. After more than an hour of fighting, about one-third of the 50,000 Sabah cavalry and 100,000 infantry who left the city The people of, did not return to the city of peace.

Duke Kakisim, who returned to the city wall, said to King Odunrent with a look of shame: “Your Majesty, what we encountered should be the army of the Suomi Empire. I didn’t expect that the West was in addition to the army of the Europa Empire. The army of the Suomi Empire also possessed such a powerful combat capability, and the ministers failed to achieve victory in failing to live up to the King’s expectations.

King Odunrent said in a deep voice: “Kakishim, victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. You don’t need to mind too much. You have to rely on you to command the next defensive battle!”

Duke Kakishim immediately slapped his chest and said: “Your Majesty, I Kakishim is willing to coexist and die with the city of Rest, and fight to the end with the Western Allied Forces!”

King Odun Lent then said: “Although our strength in the city of Ansi is not as large as the Western coalition outside the city, we have the advantage of defending the city after all, and this king firmly believes that we will be able to defend the city of Ansi!”

After a legion of the Suomi Empire defeated the Parthian army out of the city, the Duke Grigo of the Suomi Empire withdrew the regiment and dispatched three more infantry regiments from the Suomi Empire. In the direction, a siege war was launched against the city of Anxi.

The reason why the Western coalition forces quickly defeated the fifteen legions that were arranged on the borders of the Parthian nation and captured a large number of the border fortresses of the Parthian nation was because the Western coalition forces possessed a new type of siege equipment, which was called a giant sling by the Western countries. machine.

The giant catapult, as its name suggests, can throw huge stones. The giant stone catapult equipped by the Western Allied Forces uses gears to twist ropes to create tension. It can throw dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms, of stones to hundreds. Meters away, the trajectory of the trebuchet is relatively flat and powerful. The intensive shooting of the trebuchet can produce a lot of destructive power on the city wall. However, the production of this giant trebuchet is very complicated. The total number of armies of the seven western countries is only More than two hundred units.

At the time of the siege of the city by the three Suomi Empire legions, there were more than one hundred giant trebuchets, which had been throwing large stones against the walls of the city of Anthion.

“Boom—Boom—Boom—” Every big rock hits the wall of Anxi City, there will be a loud noise, and it will be accompanied by a large number of broken wall fragments.

“Your Majesty, go down! The walls are too insecure!” Yassar, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Anxi, shouted with a look of fear.

“This…what is this? What are those wooden shelves?” King Odunrent’s eyes also showed a look of fear.

“Your Majesty, this should be the new siege weapon of the Western coalition forces. If the Western coalition forces do not possess this new type of siege weapon, the fortresses on our border will not fall so fast!” Prime Minister Yasar was helpless. Said.

“If the Western coalition forces are allowed to smash like this, the walls of our Anxi City will be smashed down sooner or later!”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, the walls of our Peace City are very strong. It shouldn’t be smashed so easily, but your Majesty should go back to the palace and take shelter! The walls are too dangerous!” Prime Minister Yasar continued to persuade. .

“Then…then okay! This king will go back to the palace first! This will be handed over to the Prime Minister and Duke Kakishim!”

The army of the Suomi Empire attacked until the evening of October 26, when the sky turned dark, and the gold retreated. At this time, the Prince Yasar and the Duke of Kakisim on the wall were finally relieved. Tone.

Prime Minister Yassar stretched his head and looked at the outside of the city wall, then sighed and said to Duke Kakishim: “Although the Western Allied forces did not smash the walls of the city of Dormition with that kind of trebuchet today, they looked at the damage to the walls It may not take a few days before the walls of Anthion City will be smashed. Without the protection of the walls, it would be impossible for us to stop the tens of millions of Western coalition forces!”

Duke Kakishim’s eyes flashed with a strange color, and then he pondered for a while and asked: “The City of Rest is bound to be unstoppable. I wonder what the Prime Minister plans to do?”

Prime Minister Yassar looked around, and then whispered to Duke Kakishim: “Prince Anastal of the Europa Empire has sent someone to get in touch with me. Prince Anastal promised that as long as we hand over The City of Rest will not only protect our family and property, the Europa Empire will also reward those who have contributed to the city!”

“What about your Majesty the King?”

“His Majesty the King has already intended to leave the City of Rest. The two of us only need to put a fire in front of His Majesty. Presumably, His Majesty will leave the City of Rest from the tunnel in the palace soon!”

“What? There is a tunnel out of the city in the palace? Then we can escape directly from the tunnel!”

“Duke Kakishim, that tunnel belongs to the royal family, can your majesty let us ministers leave the city of Siberia from the tunnel? If we leave together, who will defend the city?”
