Chapter 708: Green Forest City Falls
According to the normal process of siege warfare, once the opposite city gate is closed, they, as the attackers, should push the battering ram, siege tower, and carry the ladder to start fighting for control of the wall.
Who would have thought that the large army led by Zhou Xu would not follow the conventional routine here at all.
The gate of Green Forest City had just been closed when it was blown up by the enchanted crossbow arrows of the triple-bow crossbow, shattering it completely.
The soldiers who were behind the city gate at that time, even if they didn't die, would probably be half dead.
Then three hundred cavalrymen rushed up and trampled on them, killing them completely...
With three hundred iron cavalrymen clearing the way, the Green Forest City defenders' plan to block the city gate passage was basically wiped out, and they charged straight into the city with unstoppable force.
After rushing into the city, as the environment became more complicated and the surrounding space was limited, they were slightly restrained.
But this was not an opportunity for the Green Forest City defenders to counterattack. The deafening shouts of killing were soon heard from outside the city, and the siege troops led by Bai Tu were not going to stand by and watch the show.
As early as the moment the three-bow crossbow blew up the city gate, Bai Tu reacted quickly and immediately gave orders, leading the team personally and launching a charge towards the city gate. It's just that his two legs could not run as fast as the four legs of a warhorse, so he finally arrived in time.
Under Bai Tu's command, the soldiers of the siege force quickly rushed forward.
Seeing this, the trap camp led by Zhou Chongshan retreated into the city gate passage.
Faced with this situation, Bai Tu thought that the other party planned to withdraw first because the environment and space in the city were limited and the cavalry could not maneuver.
As this thought came to his mind, Bai Tu did not hesitate and immediately ordered his soldiers to cover the retreat of the Xianzhen Camp.
However, what Bai Tu did not expect was that after the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp retreated and got rid of the attack area of the garrison, they turned over and got off their horses one by one, and at the same time took off the swords and shields hanging on both sides of the saddle! Xianzhen Camp has never been a single-arms unit. With such a huge investment of resources, they only trained 300 people. Zhou Xu's requirements for them were basically full, and they were trained completely according to the requirements of training an all-round unit.
This also makes every soldier in the Xianzhen Camp an elite who can carry a spear, draw a bow, charge into battle on horseback, and kill enemies on foot! "The will to break through the battle!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
Amid the war cries, the Xianzhen Camp, which had transformed into heavy-armored infantry, stomped their feet on the ground, making a clanging sound. Each step was like an invisible heavy blow, hitting the hearts of the garrison soldiers, making them pale.
Looking at the murderous soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp, the siege troops under Bai Tu unconsciously gave way and became auxiliary forces.
This situation made Bai Tu look ugly.
He came here with the mentality of making achievements and originally thought that he would assist their king, so there was nothing much to say about that.
After all, in front of their king, they are all subordinates.
Who could have thought that their king did not take any action at all, but instead the three hundred trap camps that he originally believed had "limited room for maneuver" showed their might and almost settled the matter.
Bai Tu was unwilling to give in, but the next second, looking at the black-armored soldiers rushing to the front line, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Smooth, so smooth!
In the process of dismounting and advancing, the battle formation of the Xianzhen Camp was quickly formed. The whole process was clean and neat, without any delay. Every move was as if it was their instinct.
Bai Tu, who has led and trained soldiers, can best understand the value of this.
Judging from the current performance, the word "well-trained" is not worthy of this army! Looking at the number of troops, the Green Forest City garrison has a full 1,000 troops, which is indeed an advantage.
But the death of Long Xiaotian had dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the garrison troops, and Zhou Xu immediately used a three-bow crossbow to forcibly blow up the city gate.
To them, the noise was so earth-shattering that it was no exaggeration to say it was earth-shattering.
As the gates of Green Forest City collapsed, the morale of the garrison troops inside almost collapsed, leaving their already insignificant military advantage with no room to maneuver.
"Put down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed!"
Soon, slogans of persuasion for surrender began to be uttered by the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp. After hearing them, the siege troops led by Bai Tu quickly followed suit, completely undermining the fighting spirit of the opposing garrison troops. In a blink of an eye, a large number of people knelt down.
At the same time, inside the Green Forest City, a group of people, holding farm tools such as hoes and sickles, rushed over in groups and with great momentum.
Before they could get close enough, the people froze in place.
In the distance at the city gate, there were figures in black armor holding shields in one hand and swords in the other, full of murderous aura! The blades of the swords were still dripping with blood, and the bodies of the defenders in the city were piled up under their feet! The surroundings were full of surrendered soldiers with pale faces kneeling! The impact of that scene on the people in the city was so strong that it could not be overstated.
Sensing the movement coming from afar, the Xianzhen Camp led by Zhou Chongshan subconsciously looked over there.
Just one glance and the people felt a chill all over their bodies.
At that moment, they clearly realized that the officers and soldiers they had previously thought of were not on the same level as the group of black-armored soldiers in front of them.
Zhou Chongshan and his men were so eager to kill that under the stimulation of the strong smell of blood, they couldn't contain their murderous aura at all.
The people in the city had never seen such a scene before. They were frightened to the point that their legs went weak and they shivered and fell to the ground.
During this time, Zhou Chongshan quickly realized that the other party was not an enemy, so he took a deep breath and the murderous look in his eyes faded a little.
After signaling his troops to arrest the surrendered soldiers, he walked over.
"We are the army of the Great Zhou, and you are the people of this city? What do you want to do?"
Hearing the question, some of the people bravely answered.
"We are the rebels in the city. We noticed that there were troops attacking the city, so we came here specially..."
Speaking of which, the word "help" could not be uttered at all.
Because the fact is that they are of no use at all.
Even now, they still felt a little bit unbelievable.
How long has it been since the horn sounded on the city wall? Green Forest City has actually fallen? What does Long Xiaotian do for a living? During this period, regardless of whether they finished talking or not, Zhou Chongshan had basically confirmed the other party's identity.
"From this moment on, Green Forest City will be taken over by our Great Zhou. Don't worry, our Great Zhou troops have never harmed the people. As long as you behave yourself and loyally submit, our king will naturally treat you equally!"
