Chapter 1195: Battle Situation

Time passed quietly, and ten days had passed since the death of Yamasachihiko and others. In the past ten days, the Boxie coalition forces changed their previous practice, guarding the city tightly, allowing the Shang Ji army to provoke outside the city, and made up their minds to be a coward.

Seven days ago, with the arrival of heavy siege equipment, the Shang Ji Army launched an attack on Yongzhong City without hesitation.

Compared with the initial capture of Pyongyang City, after a few years, the Shangji Army's ability to attack fortified areas has once again been greatly improved.

In the strategic assault army, the ordinary torchstone chariots have been completely eliminated, and the explosive torchstone chariots and magic cannons have instead become basic siege vehicles. Based on these two types of siege equipment, the improved super-explosive torch chariot and magic cannon have begun to serve in large numbers.

These two types of improved equipment have significantly improved range, accuracy, rate of fire, and power.

The number of city-breaking dragon cannons has increased significantly, and dozens of city-breaking dragon cannons, the advanced version of city-breaking dragon cannons, have also been in service. Combining the characteristics of the god machine arrow and the city-breaking heavy crossbow, the siege-type god machine arrow was developed and entered service as early as three years ago.

It can be said that the attacking ability of the Shang Ji army at this time has increased several times compared to the beginning!

In addition, because Shang Ji deliberately destroyed the defense facilities of Yongzhong City when he evacuated Yongzhong City, the city's defense capability of Yongzhong City dropped significantly. In order to conquer Pyongyang City, Shang Ji spent a full month just on the outer city wall, consuming all the siege materials in reserve.

But this time, it was also a king-level city. Only three days had passed, and there was already a clear gap in the city wall of Yongzhong City. According to this trend, the outermost city wall can easily survive the sixth day!

Of course, a big reason for the smooth progress of the Shangji army is that the Boxie coalition army has not sent troops to harass the siege army in the past few days.

Of course, Shang Ji would not think that the Boxie Allied Forces did not have the power to fight against him. According to the intelligence obtained by Shang Ji, both the Poseidon forces and the Yamatai forces were strong enough to compete with the Shang Ji Army's elite combat corps. There are even many powerful troops in Yongzhong City in front of you.

There was no movement from the Yongzhong City army for a long time, and Shang Ji had to be more vigilant, keeping his strength at all times to prevent them from taking the opportunity to make any big news.

In fact, Shang Ji was completely overwhelmed. The reason why the Boxie allied forces did not dispatch was because they were frightened!

The deaths of Yamasachihiko, Hikogosomyo and others were a blow to everyone in Yamatai. It is said that when they ruled the Wa country, they had never seen the scene of core generals being killed in battle. , and died so miserably, this time it frightened many people.

to this day,

After truly learning how powerful Shang Ji is, everyone in Yamatai has given up hope of occupying Chenzhou. Especially after the entire navy is destroyed, the strategic goal of Yamatai's side has changed to the safe withdrawal of the entire army to the Wa Kingdom.

As early as the beginning of the fall of the navy, Yamatai sent envoys to find Shang Ji, hoping for peace talks. It's just that the conditions offered by Shang Ji were too harsh, which led to the end of the peace talks before they even started.

The peace talks failed, and the Yamatai side began to find ways to make a living by themselves.

It turned out that their plan was to rely on Yongzhong City as the core, slowly dragging until the Shangji army was exhausted, dragging until the supplies were exhausted, and dragging until the Yamatai Navy regained a certain combat effectiveness, and then took the opportunity to break through and withdraw to the Japanese kingdom Area.

But the reality gave them a slap in the face, the Shangji army's offensive was so fierce that they couldn't hold it back at all!

Shenwu and the others made detailed calculations. According to the current fighting strength of the Shangji army, the Boxie allied forces would not be able to delay the battle for two months, not to mention that Poseidon may not be willing to delay with them!

The first plan failed, and the Yamatai side immediately launched the second plan - fight, or to promote peace by fighting!

The current Yamatai power is divided into two, the Chenzhou part headed by Shenwu and the Japanese part led by Himiko himself. Among them, the Chenzhou part accounts for the majority, and the Japanese part is less than 30% of the total power of Yamatai, and it is mainly concentrated in the Himiko and her Janissaries.

According to Yamatai's plan, since Shang Ji doesn't want to give face and is unwilling to negotiate peace, then call him until he is willing to negotiate peace.

Part of the power of the Wa Kingdom continued to transport to Chenzhou, and even Himiko himself rushed to Chenzhou quietly, preparing to gather all the forces and force Shang Ji to the negotiating table.

However, because Yamatai's navy was exhausted, the waters of the Korean peninsula were completely dominated by the merchant navy's navy. If Himiko wanted to lead the bodyguard army over, he could only rely on the few whale sharks that survived Poseidon. It can transport thousands of people, and the transportation efficiency is so low that it makes people cry.

Originally, Shenwu and others planned to launch a counterattack after the Himiko imperial guards arrived, but they never expected that the Shangji army would attack so quickly, and the king-level city wall could not resist it for a few days before it became crumbling.

At this time, not even half of Himiko's army has been transported!

In order to avoid the embarrassing scene where Qi Yongzhong City was breached before the people arrived, Shenwu had to bite the bullet and open the city to fight, delaying the progress of the Shangji army's siege.

However, it was not Shenwu who was even more upset, but Poseidon who was lying innocently.

Originally, Poseidon planned well, using the arrogance of Shenwu and others to let Shang Ji consume a wave of them, and then balance the power of Bo Xie and others.

It's a pity that although Shenwu is arrogant, he is absolutely not brain-dead. As soon as he fought, Shang Ji knocked out two front teeth.

Poseidon had said before that he could be transferred at will, but now he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to repent, so he could only bite the bullet and fight with Shenwu.

As the Boxie coalition forces began to take the initiative to fight out of the city, the efficiency of the Shangji army's siege immediately plummeted. It is impossible for you to attack the city and fight the enemy at the same time, right? Especially when there is no obvious difference between the enemy's combat power and the Shangji army!

Directly related to the decline in siege efficiency is the surge in daily battle results.

As long as they go out of the city to fight, even if the combat method is mainly to restrain and harass, battle damage cannot be avoided.

Every time the Boxie coalition forces go out to battle, they will leave thousands of casualties.

For more than ten days in a row, there were more than 100,000 corpses left by the Boxie coalition army, which made Shenwu and Poseidon feel distressed to death. Under the current situation, the general army can't achieve the effect at all. Those who can carry out harassment orders are elite troops. One hundred thousand battle elites, the combat power can be equivalent to half of the battle legion of the Shangji army. Such losses can be placed on Shangji's body Will feel bad for a while.

Compared with the Boxie allied forces, the losses of the Shangji army were much smaller. Because the initiative of the war is in the hands of Shangji, and the Shangji army has the advantage of waiting for work, it has maintained a winning streak in the field confrontation with the Boxie coalition army, and its loss of troops is far smaller than that of the enemy.

If this trend continues, the Boxie Allied Forces will be finished in less than half a year!

It's a pity that such a good thing can be imagined in a dream, how can it be realized in reality?

An urgent report disrupted Shang Ji's plan.
