Chapter 1225 The Destruction of the Seljuq Empire
Below the royal city of the Seljuk Empire, Wu Qi, who was responsible for attacking the royal city, supervised hundreds of trebuchets and continuously bombarded the city, forcing Arslan's 200,000 Turkic cavalry into a desperate situation.
The cold wind is biting, but the trebuchets are throwing fireballs, and the royal city is filled with smoke.
The Shenji Battalion transported the Hongyi cannon from the decisive battle in the river to the bottom of the Seljuk City.
The role of Hongyi cannon is not only to weaken morale and destroy formations, but also to break down city fortifications.
The Hongyi cannon, coupled with trebuchets and crossbows, caused damage to the walls of the Seljuq King's city, and the durability of the city walls declined rapidly.
The whole city was shaking.
The Hongyi cannon was emitting thick smoke, and the solid bullets hit the city wall, causing spider web-like cracks to appear on the city wall.
A Turkic soldier was hit by a solid bullet and his flesh and blood were mutilated.
The fireball burst, the smoke billowed, and the morale of the army was shaken.
The bombardment of the Hongyi artillery ceased, and the trebuchet bombardment resumed, day and night.
"Arslan is just fighting a trapped beast, and Wei soldiers are preparing to attack the city."
Wu Qi ordered 50,000 Wei soldiers and 100,000 infantry to form formations in the city to prepare for the attack.
The saint-level commander Wu Qi has a high bonus for Wei soldiers, and the morale of the 50,000 Wei soldiers is high.
Eighty thousand Wei soldiers participated in the Western Expedition. Among them, 30,000 were killed in the siege of the city, and 50,000 were left.
Fifty thousand Wei soldiers had cracks in their armor. After bloody battles, the average level of Wei soldiers increased and they experienced hundreds of battles.
The Seljuk City was the last city in the Hezhong area that the Xia army did not capture.
Arslan was in dire straits, and with the help of Hongyi cannon, attacking the royal city was less difficult than the bloody battle.
Half a day after the trebuchet bombardment, the Hongyi artillery began to attack the royal city again.
boom--
With a loud noise, a section of the wall of the Seljuk King's City finally collapsed because it could not withstand the continuous impact of the red cannons and trebuchets. Stones fell. Dozens of defenders were affected and buried by the collapsed city wall!
Fifty thousand Wei soldiers looked at the collapsed city wall, filled with sand and dust, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"The Hongyi cannon is indeed unparalleled in the world. Order, seize the city!"
Wu Qi saw that the wall of the royal city was blown down by Hongyi cannon, so he sent 50,000 Wei soldiers to seize the breach of the collapsed wall!
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty kept their armor sharp and fought with the Turkic cavalry in the gap!
Two brave generals, Cao Ren and Niu Jin, rushed into the enemy formation. Niu Jin was holding a big sword. Hundreds of Turkic cavalry were killed and injured!
Cao Ren and Niu Jin cooperated, speared with a spear, and led the Wei soldiers to attack the city!
"die!"
Cao Ren picked up a Turkic cavalryman with his gun and shouted loudly. The dozens of Turkic people around him were frightened by Cao Ren and for a while they did not dare to step forward.
Among the Turks, a burly general appeared, holding a long bow, and shot Niu Jin with an arrow!
Niu Jin, who was wearing heavy armor, was nailed to a wooden stake, and heartbreaking pain came from his chest.
Among the Turkic generals, there are also those with higher strength. Niu Jin was seriously injured by the opponent's arrow, which shows the opponent's high strength.
Cao Ren suddenly looked at the man who shot Niu Jin,
The weapons and armor of the opponent are different from those of ordinary Turkic generals. It is obvious that he is a prince, or even the Seljuk Sultan Arslan himself.
"Kill it!"
Seeing that Niu Jin was seriously injured by the opponent, Cao Ren knew that his own force might not be a match for the opponent, so he led a group of Wei soldiers to try to kill Arslan.
Arslan clicked the string with his thumb and fired his bow and arrows. Dozens of Wei soldiers around Cao Ren were killed or injured!
"Repulse them and keep the empire!"
Arslan went crazy.
He wants to rebuild the Seljuq Empire, while Chutian wants to turn the Hezhong area into the Hezhong Protectorate. The interests of both parties are completely conflicting, and it is only life and death.
The counterattack of the Turkic cavalry was very fanatical. Arslan led 30,000 people to guard the gap. Thousands of Turkic cavalry and Wei soldiers fell in the gap in the city wall!
Hongyi cannons and trebuchets were still bombarding the city wall. From time to time, fireballs thrown by trebuchets exploded and fell into the Turkic cavalry, killing a group of Turkic cavalry instantly!
boom! ! !
There was another loud noise, the second section of the city wall was blasted by the Hongyi cannon, and the soil and stones collapsed!
General Pang Juan of Wei soldiers led another group of Wei soldiers to attack the city from another collapsed place!
Arslan's face turned pale as he heard the sound of another section of the wall collapsing.
He could barely hold on to a gap by himself, but now two sections of the city wall had been blown down by Hongyi cannons, and Arslan was helpless.
Pang Juan attacked the city from the east gate and marched straight in!
A retreating Turkic general found Arslan, who was still in the melee: "Sir Sultan, the enemy has entered the city from the other side, and the defender cannot defend it at all!"
"Does God want to destroy our Seljuk Empire?"
Arslan was in despair.
He had been in exile for more than ten years before he had a chance to regain the royal city, but he quickly lost it again.
The Transoxiana region was a place of four wars. All the overlords wanted to control the Transoxiana region and did not give the Seljuq Empire any room to survive.
Groups of Wei soldiers entered the city, and the Seljuk tribe's cavalry either died or surrendered.
Arslan brought his own soldiers and fought while retreating. However, the number of Wei soldiers around him increased, making Arslan even more desperate.
The Wei soldiers are both high-level soldiers and have the bonus of the saint-level commander Wu Qi. Once there are no city walls to block them, the Wei soldiers are almost invincible and can capture some important buildings in the city.
The strength of Arslan's guards is decreasing, and they are all fighting bloody battles.
Arslan was hit by seventeen arrows, and he barely supported his body with his long sword. The blood covered Arslan's sight.
Arslan barely held on until the last moment, but finally couldn't hold on and fell in a pool of blood.
The city of Seljuk City was full of beacon fires. Wu Qi made another fortress. The city of Seljuk City was engaged in a battle in the river, and nearly half of the population was lost.
Wu Qi entered the royal city and ordered to extinguish the flames in the city, repair the burned buildings, and keep the teleportation array open.
The big cities in the river area were almost razed to the ground. This teleportation array was extremely important to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Wu Qi stood in front of Arslan's body: "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Since we are not strong enough, we are chasing deer in the river. We should have expected this day."
Wu Qi showed no mercy to Arslan.
In the world of "Lord", various princes and players have competed for many years, and countless princes and players have died in battle. In the face of power, countless heroes fly to the flames, such as Temujin and Chagatai of the Mongol Empire, and Zhao of the Han Empire. Long, Lao Qin, Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire, Attila of the Hunnic Empire, and others were all eliminated, not counting the various kings and lords, large and small.
The royal city of Seljuk fell, the main force of the Xia army almost completely controlled the Hezhong area, and the Hezhong Protectorate was formally established.
The seat of the Hezhong Protectorate was established in Guishan City in Dayuan Kingdom.
Chu Tian pursued Wokuotai and dragged mines to the Caspian Sea before returning, capturing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and freezing to death on the way.
In addition to Mongolian cavalry and Turkic cavalry, the captured surrender troops also included Persians, Da Yueshi, and Indians.
Chutian's characteristic "Tian Khan" came into play at this time, preventing hundreds of thousands of descending soldiers from chaos.
The local government in the Central Plains transported a lot of clothing to the river to prevent more soldiers from freezing to death and frostbite in the cold winter.
Chu Tian did not order the killing of hundreds of thousands of captured soldiers.
During the second Western Expedition, Chutian needed a group of servants as cannon fodder.
It turned out that the Han army was powerful in combat, and the decisive battle in the river severely damaged the Jin family. However, in Chutian's eyes, the lives of the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains were far greater than those of these servants.
