Chapter 1007: The Imperial City is Broken
The next morning, King Posa led the army to continue to attack the city.
The capital of the Kushan Empire, Peshawar, had a defender, but he was basically numb when facing the attack of King Posa's rebels.
Over the past month, King Posa has been attacking the city, and he has basically made a bluff.
However, there was not much food in the imperial city at this time, and it could be maintained for less than a month.
In another month, the imperial city will undoubtedly be destroyed.
Therefore, although King Posa only bluffs every day, the defenders of the imperial city were getting heavier and heavier day by day.
If there are no reinforcements, they will undoubtedly die once the food and grass are exhausted.
Originally, there were a lot of food and grass reserves in the imperial city of Peshawar, which was enough for them to eat in a year.
But before the rebellion, King Posa had secretly colluded with the nobles in the imperial city and the officials in charge of the granary and secretly transferred all the food out.
By the time the royal family of the Kushan Empire discovered the problem, the rebels of King Posa were already in an army and they were powerless to turn things around.
...
This time, the defenders in Peshawar still thought that King Posa's rebels were bluffing.
Therefore, many soldiers did not even pick up and leaned lazily against the city wall.
There is no more food now, so they exercise less, reduce exercise loss, and eat less when eating.
Their food will last more than one day.
But soon they discovered that this time, it seemed different.
King Posa actually gathered all 100,000 rebels, used all the siege equipment, and then launched an attack on the city.
The cloud ladders used by the rebels were different from the cloud ladders they usually saw.
The cloud ladder used by the rebels can be assembled on site. After assembly, there are wheels below. The soldiers underneath hold their shields and quickly push the cloud ladder under the city wall.
The bows and arrows did not have a good effect on these shield soldiers, so the defenders on the city wall began to use the stones stored on the city wall.
They smashed the stones from the city wall piece by piece. The weight of the stone itself and the acceleration brought by the height of the city wall, as long as they hit their bodies, no matter how thick the shield is, it cannot withstand it.
The rebels of King Posa below were immediately killed and injured.
The momentum of siege was slowing down, and many soldiers found that the situation was not good and began to retreat.
At this time, King Posa held a long sword and personally cut off the heads of the two retreating soldiers, shouting sternly: "Everyone follows the order. Those who dare to take a step back will be killed without any hesitation!"
King Posa organized a military supervisor, and anyone who retreated would be killed on the spot.
Under the supervision of the military supervisor, no soldier dared to retreat.
Under the city wall, the dead and injured rebel corpses were covered with the ground, blood flowing and flesh and blood flying.
However, the rebels' offensive began to work.
A ladder began to be placed on the city wall.
The rebel ladders are different from ordinary ladders, and the rebel ladders are organically covered.
Once the ladder leans against the city wall, the machine clamp is opened and stuck, and the machine clamp is automatically locked, and it cannot be broken.
Even if you can't cut it with a knife, you may be able to deform unless you use a hammer to punch it hard.
But as ladders are laid up one after another, where can you give you so much time to deal with ladders?
I'm afraid the mechanism of the ladder here has not been smashed open, and the rebels there have already climbed up from the ladder.
What made the defenders on the city wall helpless is that the ladders of others could climb from the middle.
There is a protective net on one side, so it is difficult to hit the soldiers in the middle whether they use bows and arrows or stones.
This ladder is really amazing!
The previous tools for defending the city were difficult to work at this time.
The rebels kept climbing up from the middle of the ladder and quickly climbed to the top of the ladder.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city were also red in their eyes.
As long as the rebels climbed up the city wall, they would die.
Therefore, as soon as the first rebels emerged, they were slashed by the soldiers guarding the city. They only had time to let out a shrill scream and fell down the ladder and were smashed to pieces.
The rebels next to him almost ignored this former comrade-in-arms and the current dead body, and quickly passed by him and quickly climbed up the ladder.
However, with the first one, there is the second one and the third one.
However, at this time, the soldiers guarding the city still had the upper hand. They were fearless and slashed wildly. All the rebels who climbed to the top of the ladder were killed by them.
However, the number of rebels is more than twice their number!
Finally, a rebel stood firm, raised the steel knife in his hand, and slashed at the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city hurriedly raised their weapons to block the enemy.
clang!
With a crisp sound, the weapon in the hands of the city guards was cut in half at once.
The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Then, before he could react, the rebels raised the long sword in their hands and cut him under the knife.
Well, the weapons used by the 100,000 rebels here are the weapons sold to them by Dahua.
Although it was eliminated by Dahua, it is still many times sharper than the weapons used by Kushan soldiers.
As this rebel gained a foothold, the second rebel immediately climbed up, then the third, the fourth...
The weapons in the hands of the rebels are too sharp. As long as the defenders dare to fight hard, they will definitely end up being cut off.
And as long as the weapon is cut off, it means death on the battlefield.
So, later on, the soldiers guarding the city no longer dared to compete with the rebel weapons.
But the defensive space on the city wall is only so large, and the space for evasion is very limited.
To blindly avoid, it is to play games with death.
If you avoid it, you will pass it immediately. If you can't hide it, you will pass it in your life.
The number of rebels climbing up the ladder began to gradually increase.
The defenders on the city wall also began to provide crazily reinforcements.
Both sides were already red in their eyes.
Although the rebels relied on the advantages of weapons, they had an absolute advantage.
But the soldiers guarding the city just took their lives and did not take a step back.
The battle situation was in a stalemate for a while.
Looking at the siege like a meat grinder, King Posa also felt a burst of pain.
In this battle, his 100,000 elite soldiers were probably more than half.
Damn it!
Everyone in the city deserves to die!
King Posa was angry!
I secretly swear in my heart that once I attacked the city, I would definitely massacre the city to vent my anger!
Finally, the rebels gradually gained the advantage.
Rebels began to break into the city wall and gained a foothold. As soon as they came, more and more rebels were killing the city wall.
At this time, the defensive soldiers were already in despair.
Peshawar, their capital, can no longer be defended!
Finally, the defenders began to fear and they began to retreat from the city wall.
This retreat soon turned into a defeat.
The rebels captured the upper city head, fought in groups, and opened the city gate from inside.
