The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 93 The War in the Southwest (for Subscription)

When Cao Cao's North Route Army achieved victory, Sun Jian's Southwest Route Army also broke through at the same time, the city of Tour, an important town in the northeast of the southwest region, and the Tur tribe.

The leader of the city of Tours is a man with a relatively strong backbone. He has always been loyal to the leader of the Edel Alliance who supported him to his current position. Worf, the patriarch of the Wogg tribe, who is in charge of the area, asks for help.

But he led all the small tribes in the northeast direction, no matter men, women, old or young, all gathered in the city of Tours, gathered the power of the entire northeast region, and vowed to defend such a small city to the death.

Sun Jian went through several times of threats and persuasion, but all the envoys he sent were beheaded by Tucson, the patriarch of the Tur tribe without exception, to tell everyone inside and outside the city that this battle was inevitable. The determination in the hands is also unshakable.

The envoy was killed, and Sun Jian, the commander of the Southwest Road, felt ashamed. He became angry and ordered the army to attack. The 50,000 army was divided into five rounds, and they carried out high-intensity attacks day and night.

All kinds of siege equipment, which the barbarians have never heard of and never seen before, are staged in front of the barbarians defending the city like a crowd of flowers competing for beauty, and what they bloom are bright flowers that bloom with life.

The powerful and extremely lethal siege equipment, crossbow array, catapult, battering ram, and ladders staged their performing arts in turn. However, in just two days, the relatively strong city wall, which was originally ten meters thick, became dilapidated.

The city was plundered by Tucson, and the 4,000 male warriors who finally gathered together lost more than 2,000 men in the blink of an eye under the onslaught of this advanced weapon and the enemy's well-trained army.

The remaining more than 1,000 people are all wounded, and they can hardly hold a knife. It can be said that they have almost lost their combat effectiveness. to prevent being attacked more fiercely by the next enemy.

As for the inability to hold a weapon, it’s simple, just hold a rope or not hold it in your hand, let the weapon be directly connected to your hand, so that unless your whole body is dead, or your hand is cut off and completely loses combat power, then you will never be able to fight. Don't even think about withdrawing from the battlefield.

Moreover, the frenzied Tucson organized all the strong women in the city, distributed each of them a pair of sharpened wooden weapons, and cruelly gathered their children together, forming a tribe of more than 1,000 people In the future, the children who are still growing are organized into the final reserve team.

Before those strong women, that is, the mothers of those children went to the battlefield, they were very specific and solemnly told them that if they could not hold on to the city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, then their children would go to the battlefield after their death.

Use this very inhumane method to force those women to make a final resistance with their own army. Not to mention, extreme methods often have extreme effects. Those women who really desperately fought for their children and themselves Defend the city.

Their fighting morale is often higher than those of men. Sure enough, women still value their children more than men! As long as they don't want their children to waste their lives meaninglessly on this hell-like battlefield.

Then you have to use your life and do everything you can to stop those people from attacking. Therefore, after getting the reserve team composed of these women, the originally unstable city wall suddenly stabilized, which could have been easily The city that was taken down even managed to hold him back for two days.

The total population of such a small city is no more than 10,000. The defensive facilities of the city wall are very simple. The height of the city is no more than ten meters. The equipment of the defenders will not be some stone tools, but only a small amount of iron tools.

Under Sun Jian's 50,000-strong army, and strong generals such as Lu Bu Zhang Liao and Han Dang Huang Gai led the troops to attack the city as the vanguard, and supplemented by a group of advanced siege equipment, they can still stick to him for five days .

Even though the city's 10,000 population has dropped to less than 2,000 in the past five days, most of the survivors are children no older than twelve years old. As for those people who were over twelve years old and already had a certain level of stature and strength, they were all used as defenders and cannon fodder by the completely insane Tucson.

And Sun Jian's army, although it has excellent equipment, well-trained troops, and powerful siege equipment, under this kind of high-intensity siege battle that is constantly attacking day and night, it is still under the city wall. It was covered with the corpses of 5,000 people.

You know, these 5,000 people are not mobs, but elite soldiers trained by Zhong Yu in the Three Kingdoms World, after going through the Central Plains Conquest, Grassland Conquest, and various high-intensity battles.

This kind of soldiers and horses are not very many in the past dynasties. His combat effectiveness is equivalent to the eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers brought out by Xiang Yu. This is the last essence of Chu. Ten Thousand Prisoners Army.

Although those prisoner troops were all slaves who had just formed an army, they were also taken to the Central Plains by Zhang Han to pacify Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's million-strong army, and defeated the uprisings of Zhao, Qi, Wei and South Korea in Hebei Army, the combat effectiveness has also been trained to a certain extent, and it can barely be regarded as some regular army.

Although these 5,000 people are not as many as Xiang Yu's 8,000, and those vanguard generals may not be as brave as Xiang Yu, but compared with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Huang Gaihan in their ability to lead troops, even if they are a little worse, they will not be much worse. go.

Now he is under this small city wall, blocked by those barbarians, and lost 5,000 of his elite soldiers. It can be said that Sun Jian lost face. Sun Jian secretly made up his mind that after the city was broken, He will definitely not leave a living, otherwise he will not be able to wash away the shame and shame in his heart.

Although a large part of the reason for this loss was due to the extraordinary power of the defenders in the city, especially their defender Tucson's strength as high as Tier 3, which caused huge damage to Sun Jian's army.

Among the 5,000 people, nearly a thousand were killed by him alone. Even though it was the sum of the five days of killings, he alone could kill more than 200 people in one day.

Lu Bu and Sun Jian, who had enough trust in their own martial arts, also felt a trace of fear in their hearts. At the same time, they also uncontrollably grew a desire for the extraordinary power he had mastered.

Finally, on the sixth day of this siege like a meat grinder, the city of Tours, which was already on the verge of collapse, and whose defensive strength and war potential had been exhausted, completely drew its end.

The gate was completely opened by the soldier who had fought the war with heavy losses for six days, and all the red-eyed soldiers poured into the city, aimlessly, just to vent their anger and kill them. In their eyes, everyone dressed differently from themselves people.

After the army calmed down completely, they were restrained by various officers and returned to their respective queues. After gathering, the people who cleaned up the city reported to Sun Jian that there was no living creature in the city, including the livestock raised by the barbarians. .

After this war, there was no one who could walk alive for hundreds of miles around the city of Tours. Except for Sun Jian's army, there was no one in the whole area.

The destructive power of war can be seen from this, and this can be regarded as a realistic version of a thousand miles without a human habitation, a thousand miles without a rooster crowing!
