Chapter 143 Da Zhou has no moral principles, he shoots
That's why Zag was the first one to request to fight today.
He wanted to prove to everyone in the grassland that he was no worse than Qinuchi's son!
He, Zag, is the number one warrior in the northern grassland!
Zag not only has his own people, but also a hundred masters of the wolf tribe.
This group of martial arts masters can climb walls and fly over rooftops with ease. As long as they attack the city wall, the bastion will fall!
This is Zag’s beautiful fantasy.
On Li Cheng's side, he prepared sufficient firepower at the bastion.
From catapults to cannons, there are also heavy crossbows installed on the bastion walls.
In addition, he sent several musketeers to patrol the fortress and be ready to fire at any time.
The fortress walls were high, and the city was stockpiled with plenty of food and water.
Even if a fortress of six hundred men was besieged, it would be enough to sustain it for more than a year.
The bottom of the fortress was reinforced and equipped with a receiver that could hear any movement underground.
This can provide early warning of enemy tunnel-digging activities and destroy the enemy's tunnels in time.
A large amount of kerosene was also stored on the city walls.
If the people of Beimang are not afraid of death and dare to climb the city wall, they will be poured with kerosene to let them know what it means to burn a living person.
In short, this fortress designed by Li Cheng himself can be said to be a hedgehog covered with thorns.
Unbeknownst to Zag, he launched the attack at noon that day!
One hundred wolf tribe masters used Qinggong to fly towards the fortress wall.
Their actions were not concealed at all, and the musketeer team, who had been lying in ambush, suddenly opened fire before they landed.
After a series of crackling gunshots, all the wolf masters were shot and fell to the ground.
More of them fell from the fortress walls.
These one hundred masters were killed in an instant.
Zag's face looked very ugly.
They were all experts sent by his father-in-law, and they were all killed in one encounter?
These wolf masters are too weak!
If it were a normal battle, a hundred wolf masters might not be a match for the Fire Gunner.
As long as they are well prepared and use their martial arts, they can definitely kill these fire gunners.
Unfortunately, they were not prepared and encountered the well-prepared army of the Great Zhou.
Poor these one hundred wolf masters, they originally thought that the other party didn’t even notice them.
He didn't expect that all his actions fell into the sight of the Great Zhou's lookout.
I thought I could fight with swords once I climbed up the city wall.
I didn't expect the enemy to be so unsportsmanlike and just draw their guns!
Many of them were shot dead before they could even stand firm, without even having the chance to display their martial arts skills.
The rest of the people were also shot and quickly captured by the masters in the fortress.
When Zagjian's surprise attack failed, he simply waved his military flag and commanded his men to attack the city.
The cavalry of the Black Pig Tribe rushed out on horseback.
But how to attack the city?
It was a solution that was thought up by a Han Chinese staff officer.
Get the siege ladder!
But all the surrounding forests had been cut down, so where would the wood come from?
Zag was also very decisive. He ordered people to cut down the fences of his tribal camp.
Six siege ladders were made.
Then let’s fight!
Zag beat the drum and blew the horn, and the Han staff officer who came up with the idea rushed towards the fortress with six siege ladders.
boom!
A shell landed precisely in the middle of the crowd carrying siege ladders.
But the shell was just a hollow ball and did not hit anyone.
Just when the Han staff was still feeling proud.
He didn't know yet that this shell was only used to test the landing point.
The second shell flew over soon.
We are not so lucky this time, because this is a shell loaded with a torpedo!
With a loud bang!
All the guards, including the Han staff officer, were blown away!
The six siege ladders were instantly shattered!
Only one was left, crumbling.
Zag's eyes turned red!
He made all that by dismantling the camp fence!
Zag was furious. He immediately ordered all the other Han people in the barracks to go up and continue pushing the ladders to attack the city!
This group of Han people are all descendants of the Han families that remained in the northern border.
The northern border is not only populated by the Beimang clan, but also many Han families.
These young men also represent an investment by the Han people in Beimang.
If the Northern Mang can really conquer the world, they will also recruit scholars.
These great clans in the northern border can then smoothly step onto the stage of history.
If Beimang fails, they can also welcome the royal army of Great Zhou.
Anyway, in the eyes of these northern clans, there is only family but no country.
Hedging their bets is what they do best.
But betting on both sides will of course come at a price.
For example, being driven by Zag as the vanguard to attack the city.
All Han people know that this is a life-threatening job.
When attacking a fortress, the best thing to do is to surround it without attacking it.
Once the food in the fortress is exhausted, you can surrender without a fight.
But there are no such conditions now.
The next best option is to dig tunnels at night, or send experts to attack the city and catch them off guard.
But Zag had already killed all one hundred masters, so this method was no longer feasible.
The only remaining option is to attack the city with siege ladders.
The Khan's order had to be carried out.
This group of Han soldiers from the northern border had no choice but to rush forward and push the siege ladder to the bottom of the fortress.
Finally the mission is accomplished.
But before they had time to rejoice, they were met with a sea of muskets and rain of arrows.
The musketeers and archers lying in ambush on the city walls fired wildly.
On the other side of the city wall, heavy crossbows were aimed at the city.
Soon, the siege ladder was scrapped.
The group of soldiers who were pushing the siege ladders were all shot into hedgehogs.
Zag's first siege failed!
Wait until evening.
Most of the Han soldiers in Zag’s army had died.
Zag was reluctant to let the rest of his cavalry die under the fortress, so he took the opportunity to blow the horn and call back his troops after sunset.
Sitting in the tent, Zag sighed deeply.
He didn't expect that this fortress would be so difficult to attack.
The fortress built by these people of the Great Zhou was like a solid wall.
Zag's men also sighed.
This group of cavalry on the grassland are better at direct attacks.
They have absolutely no idea how to fight this kind of siege war.
"Great Khan, will we fight again tomorrow?"
Zag thought for a moment and said, "Of course! I have signed a military order with the Great Khan!"
The subordinate quickly asked, "Great Khan, do you really want to use the lives of our men to pay for this?"
Zag also felt a little reluctant.
The Black Pig Tribe is only considered the middle tribe among the eight tribes of Beimang.
Every time grassland was divided, it was a very ordinary grassland.
These assets are the capital of the Black Pig Tribe.
If the capital is gone, even the Eight Tribes of Beimang will be squeezed out.
If they do that, they will be slaughtered by the big tribes, and the small tribes will only be able to roam in the marginal areas.
Zag asked, "What else can we do if we don't fight?"
One of his men said, "How about we bypass the fortress and attack Dong Liao directly?"
Zag said impatiently, "Will this work?"
The subordinate immediately said: "Khan, of course it can be done!"
"As long as the fortress is there, Dong Liao will definitely be empty."
