Inside the city gate tower.
Dian Wei looked at Qin Ze and said, "My lord, they're here. Shouldn't we launch an attack?"
Qin Ze shook his head and said calmly, "No rush."
"The closer they come, the better."
“For enemy soldiers at close range, shoot them through with iron-feathered arrows; for enemy soldiers at a distance, use halberds to throw them.”
"The more people who get into range, the more people will be killed."
Dian Wei nodded, while Bai Qi shouted to the soldiers on the city wall, "When the enemy comes, keep an eye on the direction and report the location to the men below. Make sure to fire accurately!"
"Depending on the distance, pull different numbers of ropes. For the longest distance, use all thirteen ropes at the same time!"
"Yes, General!"
——
Outside Xijing City.
The army of Tu Yuan slowed down its march at this time. Seeing that there were no troops outside the city of Xijing, Mokhadin immediately ordered the infantry to take the siege equipment and go to the front.
After all, this is a siege, and only by using weapons to break through the city gates can the next wave of cavalry rush into the city to launch an attack.
Therefore, the cavalrymen at the front made way, and the chariots followed, while the infantrymen behind them were all burly and sharp-eyed.
In the middle of the chariot was a siege hammer placed on a giant wooden cart.
This siege hammer was incredibly heavy, pulled by countless warhorses clad in iron armor, and on horseback rode soldiers wearing full armor.
In addition, siege towers and ladders were also erected, with chariots supporting them. As long as they could reach the city wall and be placed on the city wall, the soldiers could directly charge into the city.
In this way, with attacks from both above and below, even the most fortified city walls will be breached!
In the center of the battlefield, Mitri stood in crimson armor, a jewel-encrusted cross-shaped greatsword hanging at his waist, surrounded by the Eagle Army he had personally trained.
Unlike other cavalrymen, whose armor was crimson, these men were also much more powerful in combat than ordinary cavalrymen.
In past battles, Mitri led this Eagle Army to victory after victory, repeatedly achieving great feats.
At that moment, Mitri's deep gaze swept across the plain and looked toward the distant city of Xijing.
"Is this the Xijing of my Tuyuan? This is the first time I've seen it," Mitri said calmly.
Tu Shadong nodded and said, "Xijing has a very vast territory, similar to Beiliang. However, compared to the barren Beiliang, Xijing can be considered prosperous."
At this point, Mitri's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly:
"The territory of the King of Zhenbei is in Beiliang, and the Beiku Grassland happens to border our Tuyuan Kingdom. It's quite a nice place..."
Upon hearing this, Tu Shadong's expression changed, but he quickly composed himself and said no more.
Just then, a loud shout rang out: "Quick! Charge the city gate!"
"Once the gates of Xijing are breached, follow-up troops must immediately follow!"
"Don't give them any more time. Take it all in one fell swoop and capture Xijing!"
The voice came from Mokhadin, who was dressed in golden armor, sitting atop a tall horse, his eyes blazing, his face unusually solemn.
Mokodin never underestimates his opponent in any battle.
Although he didn't know how many troops were currently in Xijing City, he knew that the people inside would definitely fight to the death in the upcoming siege.
Therefore, we cannot give them any breathing time. We must launch a strong and fierce attack. As long as we can break into Xijing City, our hundreds of thousands of troops can sweep through and quickly eliminate the enemy's manpower!
In other words, once we break into the city, we'll have a 90% chance of winning the battle!
Under Mokhadin's command, siege engines such as chariots were quickly brought into the battlefield by the soldiers. Countless warhorses pulled the vehicles in front, and the soldiers following behind had already formed their battle formations.
Mokhadin coldly observed the city walls, knowing that as they drew closer to Xijing City, no matter how many troops the other side had, they would definitely fire arrows to block their advance.
but--
Even if there is an attack from arrows, it doesn't matter!
The chariots would block the arrows, and even the warhorses were clad in iron armor. In addition, the soldiers at the forefront wore specially made armor and carried shields, which were sufficient to withstand the arrows!
The distance is getting closer and closer.
The distance gradually decreased from 2000 meters to 1500 meters.
A strong wind was blowing, the sun was already obscured by clouds, and under the dim sky, the iron hooves pounded the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The sheer force of this army of over 500,000 men was like a dark cloud looming over the city.
The Tu Yuan soldiers at the forefront were already shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Kill! Break through the city gates!"
The adjutant leading the soldiers raised his spear and shouted, "Charge! Don't retreat! Once we reach the city wall, set up ladders and towers, and send battering rams to break down the city gate!"
"Charge into the city and take back our Xijing!"
"kill!"
The shouts of battle were deafening, startling the birds outside the city, which all flew into the sky.
The sounds emanating from these hundreds of thousands of people were now less than 1,500 meters away from Xijing City!
Just last night, all those who were close to the city gate were evacuated and retreated to the back of the city, knowing that the battle would then revolve around that city wall.
Now, the Mongol cavalrymen near the city gate waited with solemn expressions.
