Hail the King

Chapter 427 , The Dangerous Twin Flags City

Fei was half lying on the big black dog's broad back, and did not interfere with the command of Shevchenko and others.

As the sun rises from the horizon bit by bit, the cold air in the air is disappearing rapidly. This is the climate in the Great Gobi. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, which is a great test for outsiders. Fei looked at The sun, still scarlet in color, already had a premonition of the cruelty of the coming battle into the city.

It is definitely an easy task to enter the Double Flag City under the siege of 60,000 Ajix cavalry.

When the time comes, blood will flow into rivers, and the color on the ground will definitely be more scarlet than that round of red sun.

"Speed ​​up, within 30 minutes, arrive at the outskirts of Double Flag City, and prepare to enter the city!" Shevchenko's voice of shouting mixed with fluctuations in fighting spirit spread throughout the army, and the marching speed of the Vanguard Corps suddenly accelerated, and the ground began Trembling under the sound of hooves of the light cavalry.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

...

...

Double Flag City.

This is a magnificent giant city. The 200-meter-high black city wall is like a dark cloud rushing from the sky, covering a huge area. In this vast Gobi, it looks like a prehistoric monster hovering between the sky and the earth. , imposing.

The city of Double Flags can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. In addition to the city lord's palace, noble mansions and market houses, there is also a certain amount of farmland. There are 112 deep wells in the city, flowing with sweet springs, nourishing the land. , It also fed more than 400,000 army people in the city.

With such a scale, it can be called the number one military town on the northwestern border of the Zenit Empire, and the Double Flag City is indeed well-deserved.

Of course, apart from the scale, Twin Flags City has a very commendable history——

The first important town on the northwestern border of the empire was built 26 years ago, during the period when Emperor Yassin conquered the Ajax Empire. The army passed by here and set up camp. The bloody battle lasted for 30 days. According to historical records, the deck was extremely tragic at that time, and there were mountains of bloody corpses floating on the oar.

It is said that Zenit's army was short of water at that time, and Emperor Yassin, with his invincible dragon fist, shattered the surface soil layer. The terrifying punch directly shattered the desert surface and entered the underground river. One hundred and twelve deep wells that nourish countless people.

Later, Emperor Yassin defeated the capital of Ajax and led his army back in triumph.

Passing by here again, he ordered the construction of a magnificent giant city at this place. On the top of the city hung a giant flag of the empire's two-headed white bear, and also hung the imperial flag that was cut from the imperial palace of Ajax at that time. People, so this giant city got its name, it is Double Flag City.

The Twin Flags City stands on the border of the empire, behind it is the vast Gobi of the Zenit Empire, and in front is the vast desert of the Ajax Empire.

For more than 20 years, time has changed, and the desert has not been able to move forward even by one meter.

Some people say that it was Emperor Yaxin who suppressed the vast desert with the power of martial arts, preventing it from approaching even the slightest bit. The legend cannot be fully believed, but the power of Emperor Yaxin has been passed down from generation to generation, and has become a bard in the wine shop. The most talked about legends in various places in the restaurant.

But today, after the first 26 years of peace in Twin Flags City, a bloody scene finally unfolded.

The sound of shouting and charging shook the sky.

More than 60,000 Ajax troops have surrounded Shuangqi City for a whole night. At first, they just besieged but did not attack, but at dawn, something happened, and the Ajax people suddenly started to go crazy Siege, the Ajax soldiers in yellow armor rushed towards the Double Flag City from all directions like quicksand that was constantly tumbling.

The battlefield is like a huge meat grinder.

There was blood, stumps, broken blades, and dead bodies everywhere, as well as the wailing of half-dead soldiers.

From dawn to now, in four hours, at least 6,000 Ajax soldiers died under the city wall, and many of them were star warriors. In order to break through the magic barrier shield of Twin Flags City, even hundreds of warriors of one or two stars died on the battlefield.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and dead bodies.

Finally, the madness of the Ajax people at any cost has paid off.

The large-scale earth magic enchantment [Guardian of the Earth] supported by dozens of magic towers in Twin Flags City was on the verge of collapse after supporting it for more than four hours. The layers of thin light yellow light films are like the shell of an egg, which is already extremely fragile, and it is in danger of breaking at any time.

boom!

A huge boulder was thrown into the sky by a boulder catapult.

The huge stone rolled leisurely, and finally stabbed fiercely on the faint yellow light film above the Double Flag City. After a slight pause, a weak but deafening "click" sound spread. Then, a large film of light could be seen with the naked eye finally dimmed and disappeared, and then the boulder smashed into the dark 200-meter-high city wall like a shooting star from the sky.

There were thunderous cheers on the battlefield, and the Ajax army cheered.

"It's broken, it's finally broken!"

"Hahahaha, the Zenit barrier has been breached, we are going to win!"

"The siege engine is ready! The ladder is ready!! The cable is ready!!"

"In one go, attack the Double Flag City, welcome back the imperial flag, and bloodbath the first city of Zenit!"

The protective barrier [Guardian of the Earth] of the Twin Flags City was shattered. This scene added countless morale to the Ajax army. They could finally directly attack the enemies at the top of the Twin Flags City. They could use magic and various siege techniques. Equipment to attack the enemies in the city, instead of being unable to use many means like before, and can only be beaten passively.

For a time, the siege operations were carried out in an orderly manner under the command of officers at all levels.

clang clang!

One after another, the siege ladders with iron barbs were thrown onto the top of the city wall. The iron hooks tightly clasped the battlements of the city wall, and it was difficult to push them back for a while. Ajax soldiers looked like bloodthirsty ants They are also scrambling to climb up the siege ladder. And some of the more powerful elite fighters of one or two stars directly rely on ropes or iron claws to climb up the dark city wall quickly.

Soon, blood spread across the city of Double Flags.

The bloody hand-to-hand handover, the worst battle, finally began.

On the top of the double-flag city, howls filled the sky, broken limbs were flying, and blood was like rain.

Zenit soldiers in black armor and Ajax soldiers in yellow armor fought together.

One by one, soldiers wrestling together fell from the city like raindrops, directly smashing into flesh.

As time goes by, the balance of the war is tilting towards Ajax bit by bit.

The strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

The real imperial regular garrison in Shuangqi City is less than 30,000. Even including the private soldiers of the city lord and the major nobles, the total number is only more than 40,000, and the good and bad are mixed. Compared with the current Ajax army, whether it is the total number or individual strength, the combat effectiveness is obviously worse than that, and it soon fell into a disadvantage.

The main gate is under the enemy building of the city gate.

A military general in black armor with a white cloak fluttering behind his back stood quietly in front of the battlements. He looked about twenty years old, and his figure was not tall, even a little thin. He had a face and forehead with a hideous scar , making the whole person look even more murderous, possessing a fierce demonic nature.

His gaze was like electricity, watching the Ajax soldiers coming in an endless stream like a tide, and helplessness appeared on his resolute face, but it soon turned into a murderous look.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, the ground under his feet began to tremble, and both the front and rear gates of Shuangqi City were attacked.

The Ajax soldiers held up their shields to resist the random arrows from the top of the city, while pushing the huge [City Breaker Dragon Bird] constantly hitting the city gate with a tidy chant.

This [Broken City Dragon Bird] is the most popular type of siege equipment in the shape of a huge black iron casted by a huge black iron that is as sharp as a bird's beak. The glycerin liquid contains huge heat, which can cause damage to the city gate to the greatest extent.

No matter how strong the city gate is, if it is hit by the [City Breaking Dragon Bird] hundreds of times in a row, it will definitely be broken open.

At this time, more and more Ajax soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and even occupied a large section of the city wall, and began to attack the two enemy towers of the city gate frantically. The city gate can be opened through the control center, and more than 60,000 Ajix cavalry will rush in, and the Double Flag City will really be over.

Boom boom boom!

[Broken City Dragon Bird] The loud noise hitting the city gate shook the entire battlefield, one after another, it seemed to hit the hearts of all Zenit defenders, and the cold and bone-chilling palm of Death was strangling their hearts bit by bit. neck.

At this time, a soldier covered in blood stumbled from a distance, knelt down and cried, "Report to General Frank, Lord Soroyev has removed the private soldiers on the wall, and the nobles in the city have followed suit. It is said that Shuangqi City can no longer be defended, and they are going to abandon the city and flee..."

"What? This cowardly fat pig..."

"How could he do that?"

"This is a deserter, a shameful deserter!! Inform the military judge to bring them back. Even the imperial nobles are absolutely not allowed to do such a thing at this time!"

"Those bastard nobles are selfish and know how to take care of themselves. What about the more than 100,000 civilians in the city? The Ajax people will massacre the city!"

Hearing the report from the bloody soldiers, the officers and soldiers around General Scarface were furious, and several officers with fiery tempers were already carrying weapons to settle accounts with these nobles.

"Stop!" General Scarface finally spoke, stopped everyone, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let them go!"

"General Frank? Then... just let these moth-like guys leave easily like this?" Everyone was angry and puzzled, but this scar-faced general obviously had a lot of prestige, and no one dared to object to his words.

"The enemy is attacking the city so ferociously. If we go to the civil strife again, it won't take much effort from the Ajax people. The city will be destroyed and people will die before our eyes..." Having said this, General Scarface looked at the people around him, suddenly calmed down. He smiled and said: "Maybe we still have hope. As far as I know, the support army [Spike Corps] sent by the Imperial Army is already on the way to help. If we persist for a while, the rescue may arrive."
