Chapter 25: The Battle of Baili City (3)
At that moment, on the top of the city tower, Feng Yanggu led the soldiers of the dragon camp to resist the two rounds of attacks of the Flame Army, and when the enemy attacked the city for the second time, they fought bloodily, and they had exhausted a lot of energy, and they were also worried that the city would be breached at any time.
Without lightning bolts, it is impossible to deal concentrated damage to the enemy, and the stones on the city are used less and less, making defending the city a big problem. Combined with the construction pattern of Baili City, the current advantage is completely based on the bloody battle of soldiers. Except for flesh and blood, the current walls are like a hard shell. And no matter how hard the shell is, it will always be smashed open when it is repeatedly beaten......
Feng Yanggu poked his head into the city a little and sighed: "I know that the enemy's two rounds of attacks have made my brothers a little tired to resist, and I also want my brothers to rest, but these grandsons won't let me." Brethren, beware of the third charge on the other side!"
As soon as the wind blew the ancient words, the trumpet of the charge sounded again on the side of the city wall.
Under the Hundred Miles City, the third round of attacks of the Flame Army began again.
Looking at the state of the soldiers at the moment, his helpless eyes told him that only by fighting for his life could he exchange for the results of this third round of victory. Perhaps, in the next moment, this hundred miles of city will be lost......
"Brothers, our brothers in the Dragon Camp have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are fortunate to die for the country, and they are not in vain as dark blue men......" Feng Yanggu shouted at the top of his voice, encouraging the courage of the soldiers, holding knives in both hands, waiting at any time to cut down the enemy soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city.
After two rounds of offensives, the offensive and defensive sides just went back and forth, each showing their own means, inside and outside the city, all flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the casualty rate rose sharply. Although the defenders had a favorable position and morale, and the casualty rate was several times lower than that of the attackers, the problem was that the number of weapons and equipment defending the city was reduced, and the enemy attacked fiercely......
"That's it, let's die here today!" Feng Yanggu gritted his teeth and clenched the big knife in his hand hard. But at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation of enemy soldiers from the side of the city wall. Then, there was a sudden commotion from the bottom of the castle, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps. It turned out that the hundreds of enemy soldiers involved in the third attack heard the signal to retreat and, after throwing down a few dozen corpses, retreated in panic.
Feng Yanggu observed that Leng Buding shot an arrow, if it wasn't for the fast flash, he was afraid that he would be pierced through the brain by an arrow, but fortunately it just flew over his head. It turned out that the reason for the non-stop archery on the opposite side was to cover the retreat of the soldiers who were climbing the ladder. One of the soldiers beside him also peeked at the city and shouted, "Brothers, the enemy has withdrawn. It should be that the reinforcements have arrived, cheer up, we are going to prepare for a counterattack......"
Looking into the distance, a mountain wind blew in the distance, and not far from the rear of the enemy army outside the city, a large flag was waving in the wind. That is the Dragon Banner, the symbol of the Dragon Camp!
"Hahaha...... Reinforcements from our dragon camp are finally here......"
At this moment, Feng Yanggu was so excited that he shed tears...... When the soldiers heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements, they immediately became angry, everyone hugged each other happily, and the city cheered.
Everything was so timely, I didn't expect that the enemy had launched two attacks before, and this third time it was possible that he would climb to the top of the city and capture the city. At this time, his own reinforcements finally arrived in time.
Although the Flame Army suspended the third offensive, it adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking Baili City, as long as the army in the city came out, it would face a dense rain of arrows from the Flame Army, and suffered heavy losses. Although Zhuo Ying and Feng Yanggu knew that the reinforcements had arrived, they wanted to open the city gate and lead the army to kill, but considering the defensive battle just now and the several times after the soldiers opened the door, the losses were very large, and the opponent's troops were too many, even if they attacked with reinforcements inside and outside, they might not be able to achieve a complete victory. Therefore, for the time being, they still considered retreating to the city, holding on behind closed doors, and adjusting their combat strategies in time according to the enemy's next move.
Outside the city, because Ling Tian had set up reinforcements to block the officers and soldiers in advance, and they were waiting in formation, so the two armies were only facing each other at the beginning. Although the small force of the dragon camp had just intercepted and killed the enemy's grain transport troops, the enemy panicked. But when Wan Xing saw that the enemy had set up such a formation in order to send reinforcements, he also knew in his heart that it would be difficult to win for a while, so he could only think hard about countermeasures in front of the battle, and maybe there would only be a bloody battle.
At this moment, the reinforcements that came were worthy of being elite, and their momentum was enough to overwhelm the other party, such a neat team, light and fierce mental outlook, even the enemy's Ling Tian was dazzled. But in terms of numbers, after all, it is not dominant.
Ling Tian had never been so eager to make a name for himself as he was now, after all, it was also a great blessing in life to be able to fight with the most elite troops in the entire Deep Blue. Perhaps, this encirclement point reinforcement is an opportunity.
Wan Xing glanced around at the group of murderous tiger wolves under his command, and the pride in his chest increased greatly. At this moment, even if there were thousands of troops and horses in front of him, he was confident that he would lead this group of tigers and wolves to crush the enemy into powder. It's just that more than 10,000 people are fighting more than 100,000, and his side is in a slight position in terms of numbers, and how to minimize casualties is a headache for him.
In the face of this army, Wan Xing's words were extremely short, he raised his arms and exhaled, and his words were sonorous: "Brothers in the Dragon Battalion, the enemy's grain and grass have been burned, today's battle is a good time for you to make contributions on the battlefield, show your courage and blood, closely follow my military flag, let us kill happily, long live the deep blue, and the Dragon Camp is mighty!"
"Kill!"
"Kill, ......" Suddenly, the shouts on the battlefield shook the earth, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers was fully mobilized, and they rushed towards the enemy camp with no indomitable progress.
The battle between the two sides was fierce and tragic, after all, the dragon battalion was well-trained, and when it first engaged, it was still in the upper hand, and its own side only lost more than 2,000 people, but the beheading of the enemy's corpses was no less than 6,000. However, as time went by, they could not withstand the enemy's numerical superiority, and gradually fell behind, and the casualty rate continued to rise, and some soldiers had gaps in their swords.
The two armies were fighting in a stalemate, considering that the combat situation of the soldiers was unfavorable, Wan Xing saw this, and urgently ordered people to blow the horn of retreating, and the soldiers fought and retreated.
But seeing hundreds of miles outside the city, the corpses were pillowed, and blood was flowing everywhere, which was shocking. Whether it was Wan Xing and ordinary soldiers, or enemy soldiers, they had never seen such a tragic scene of face-to-face fighting. With such a thrilling bloody battle, it is not difficult to imagine how much sacrifice the Dragon Camp has paid......
Gradually, most of the people have withdrawn from the battle, hoping to retreat to Wan Xing's side, Wan Xing glanced at the lineup of soldiers who could still be withdrawn alive, and then glanced at the opposite scene, this battle consumed 10,000 men and horses on the other side, and his side lost at least a third of the troops, all of them were flesh and blood men, and they were all gone.
Although most of the people retreated, there was no trace of Bai Yu on Wanxing's side. It turned out that he and several soldiers were engaged in a struggle with the opposite side and were surrounded by enemy groups. After glancing around him, he turned his head and asked Hope, "Have you ever seen General Bai Yu?" After receiving a negative reply, Wan Xing shook his head and said to himself: "He shouldn't have died on the battlefield or been surrounded, right? God must protect him." Only then did Wan Xing realize that Bai Yu was missing or surrounded, but it was no longer realistic to rush back to save him.
In this way, the two armies faced each other in a stalemate, and it gradually got dark. In the face of heavy surrounding, Bai Yu, who was covered in blood, had already made up his mind to die. So, he closed his eyes and concentrated, concentrated his mental power, released his anger, and he sighed, and the ground under his feet shook a little in an instant. After a while, a miraculous celestial phenomenon appeared. Without any warning, I saw countless huge fireballs falling from the sky, rushing towards the battlefield at a rapid speed, and actually smashed into the position of the Flame Army. Bai Yu fainted, and the few people who were surrounded with him had nothing to do, and even the enemy soldiers who surrounded Bai Yu thought that the gods were going to punish them, and they rushed to lay down their weapons, kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness for their crimes.
Seeing these huge fireballs smashing into themselves, even the enemy himself had a huge sense of fear, and they scattered and fled for their lives, and those who fled and those who were smashed were in chaos, and for a time hundreds of thousands of flame troops collapsed. Ling Tian saw that the general situation had gone, and under the cover of a few subordinates, he couldn't care about anything else, so he had to take advantage of the chaos to break through and want to flee back to his base camp quickly.
Wan Xing, who originally thought that the night was about to set up camp and confront the enemy army, saw this, felt a godsend, and did not hesitate to order his entire army to attack. Hunt down deserters. And the defenders inside the city also seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the outside of the city, and quickly assembled their troops and prepared to go out of the city to intercept and kill the enemy army.
I'm afraid neither side expected that this battle would end in such a way. Wan Xing originally wanted to use a war of attrition and slowly wear down with the Flame Army, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. And the soldiers who had just been surrounded with Bai Yu saw the vision of Bai Yu after he was angry, and they worshipped him like a god and knelt down in front of his body one by one. One is out of worship of Bai Yu's ability, and the other is out of gratitude to his life-saving benefactor.
In this way, in less than half an hour, the situation of victory and defeat is already quite clear. After this battle, Ling Tian's 150,000-strong team had been reduced by more than one-third. The number of the wounded and the captured was ninety thousand.
Since then, Bai Yu has single-handedly reversed the legend of the defensive battle of Baili City, and it has been spread to the soldiers on both sides, some say that he is a god of heaven, and some say that he is the destiny of heaven and should inherit the position of emperor. All everyone saw was the celestial phenomenon that he produced after he was angry, and no one knew that this was the ability that the celestial star stone gave him.
At night, the soldiers of the Dragon Battalion escorted a large number of enemy prisoners into the city, Wan Xing and Hope and others met with Zhuo Ying and Feng Yanggu at the city gate, they hugged each other excitedly, and they were glad that everyone was brothers who escaped death. After a while, the soldiers came over with the fainted Bai Yu, Wan Xing, Hope and others hurriedly approached to see Bai Yu in a coma, and told the soldiers to quickly find a medical officer to show Bai Yu.
Watching Bai Yu being carried into the city by the soldiers, he slowly walked away. Wan Xing, Hope and Zhuo Ying all knelt on the ground and saluted him. An adjutant general, how can he make the military commander kneel and salute him, although his subordinates are puzzled, they also follow suit.
