Chapter 807 Attacking Floating Cloud City

A few days later, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops finally approached the city.People in Liuyun City were panicked, and the defenders were even more trembling.Even after these few days of conscription, tens of thousands of young and strong men were added, and 20 soldiers and horses were assembled, but facing the Tianhua Army under the city, they still lack confidence, and pessimism continues to spread.

Although Zheng Han was the first to lead his army to Tianyun Capital, he was not in any joyful mood at the moment.Now the Eternal Army is raging in the north, and there are still 20 soldiers in Floating Cloud City persisting in resisting, plus support soldiers and horses coming from all over Tianyun.Not only was his lonely and deep army not sure of victory, but he was in a dangerous situation, and if he was not careful, the entire army would be wiped out.

The only plan for now is to take down Floating Cloud City as soon as possible and capture everyone in the Tianyun court, so as to disintegrate Tianyun's resistance, quickly end the Tianyun war, and turn to besiege Eternity.

However, as the capital of Tianyun, Floating Cloud City not only has high walls and thick walls, but also has strict defenses.If you want to take down this huge city, I'm afraid it won't be possible overnight.

Under Zheng Han's order, the Tianhua army set up a large camp more than ten miles outside the city, rushing to make siege equipment.

After resting for a day, the army began to attack the city.Hundreds of artillery gathered at the north gate and blasted fiercely at a city wall.The attack lasted for a day, and the outer blue bricks of the Liuyun City Wall turned into pieces, exposing the rammed earth inside, but the city wall still stood upright and did not waver at all.

On the second day, ten hot air balloons slowly lifted into the sky and swept over Floating Cloud City. While observing the opponent's defense measures, they dropped explosives and bombed the enemy's fort.A burst of huge explosions exploded around the city wall, killing and wounding the defenders.

The Tianyun army tried to shoot the hot air balloon with a giant crossbow, but they couldn't reach the opponent's height at all, so they could only endure the bombing of the hot air balloon silently.After the first round of bombing ended, the Tianyun Army could not help but turn bitter after taking a careful inventory. In this battle, although the Tianyun Army only suffered thousands of casualties, they lost more than 30 artillery pieces.What made everyone in Tianyun even more worried was that the Tianhua army had this sharp weapon in the air, and if they bombed the city wall today, if they bombed the palace or residential buildings in the future, wouldn't it cause turmoil among the people?
But they didn't expect that the Tianhua army didn't want to bomb the palace or cause chaos in the city.But this behavior is forbidden in Tianhua, because doing so will cause a large number of civilian casualties and easily arouse public anger.What's more, the people of Tianyun are also compatriots, wars are wars, and attacking people without reason is illegal in the Tianhua army.

In the next few days, the Tianhua army launched an attack in an orderly manner, and the hot air balloons went back and forth, constantly creating chaos on the city wall.The army took advantage of the gap to attack the city.All kinds of siege equipment advanced in turn, filled the moat and erected ladders. Under the cover of musketeers, sword and shield soldiers quickly jumped to the top of the city to start a fierce battle with the Tianyun army.

In a head-to-head battle, how could the Tianyun Army be the opponent of the Tianhua Army? Although the number of the Tianhua Army who climbed the city wall was small, they did not retreat and expanded their space step by step.In the end, the Tianyun Army became ruthless, and some dead soldiers, strapped with explosives, flew towards them. When the explosion sounded, the entire wall was emptied, and all soldiers from both sides who approached the scene were killed.

Relying on such cruel means, the momentum of the Tianhua Army's attack was immediately stagnated, and they could no longer successfully climb to the top of the city.Upon seeing this, Zheng Han immediately ordered the troops to withdraw.

In just one day of fighting, the Tianhua Army killed and injured more than [-] people and wiped out nearly [-] enemy troops.But Zheng Han couldn't be satisfied with such a result.He didn't want to win by killing a thousand enemies and injuring himself by eight hundred.

That night, Zheng Han once again convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, how to break through Floating Cloud City in the shortest possible time.

In this regard, the generals spoke enthusiastically, but none of the countermeasures they said met Zheng Han's wishes.At this time, a young general who participated in the meeting suddenly stood up and said, "General, the general has a strategy in the end, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zheng Han took a closer look and found that this person was the newly promoted Infantry Brigade Commander Lin Hai, who was only 22 years old.He is the youngest middle and senior general in the field.

However, Zheng Han knew the identity of Lin Hai. He was an orphan adopted by His Majesty back then. He was carefully trained by His Majesty. He was the most accomplished young star among the 11 with great potential in the future.However, looking at his slightly immature face, Zheng Han couldn't help but frowned. He really can make suggestions?
"Oh? Lin Hai, what plan do you have, but it's okay to say?" Although Zheng Han was very skeptical, he had no good plan at this time, so he might as well listen to his suggestion first.

"Yes, General." Lin Hai saluted excitedly, "The General thought that our army could give up attacking Floating Cloud City and turn eastward to attack Zhang Yi's army."

Before Lin Hai finished speaking, Zheng Han frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Lin Hai, I understand what you mean. If we turn to attack Zhang Yijun, we may be able to eliminate them and join Qin Yuanhao's troops to attack Liuyun together. City. However, our army can only get half of the achievement of destroying the country, are you willing?"

When everyone heard the words, they also looked at him with unfriendly expressions. If such a great achievement was divided in half, how would they be willing?

Lin Hai looked at the crowd with a wry smile, "General, all generals, you have misunderstood. What the last general said was not really to attack Zhang Yijun, but to take a feint attack to lure the defenders of Liuyun City out of the city to fight in the field."

"I'm afraid this method won't work, right? The Tianyun army has already been beaten by us, how dare they go out of the city to fight with us again?" a general retorted.

"If only relying on the defenders in the city, the Tianyun army would not dare to go out of the city." Lin Hai smiled, "But if our army really wants to attack Zhang Yijun, do they really dare to sit idly by? Once Zhang Yijun is destroyed, my Tianhua will There are 50 million troops that can attack the city. Our army alone can beat them into a mess. If we have twice as many troops, can they still hold on?"

"Zhang Yijun is now a separatist regime, and Tianyun Chaotang may not care about his life." Zheng Han looked at Lin Hai lightly, "Knowing that the field battle is not an opponent, how could they venture out of the city? Once they are defeated by us, will Liuyun City be destroyed? Falling soon?"

"General, you may have forgotten that there are at least [-] soldiers and horses coming from all over the world. With this reinforcement, Tian Yun will have the confidence to go out of the city. He doesn't want to fight our army, but only needs to contain our army. It will prevent our army from defeating Zhang Yijun." Lin Hai said in a deep voice, "Our army can just take advantage of this opportunity and make corresponding arrangements to severely damage the Tianyun Army in the middle of the journey, preventing them from returning to Floating Cloud City. There is a shortage of troops, and there is no longer any power to resist our army's advance."

Zheng Han suddenly stood up, and spread out a map on the table, which depicted the entire map of Tianyun Kingdom.

"Everyone, come and see, how should our army arrange to lure the Tianyun army out of the city?" Zheng Han said, then looked up at Lin Hai, "Come and have a look, too."
