Chapter 516: The Great War
This barbarian enemy army is none other than the Elephant Clan! Moreover, it is also the main force of the barbarian army led by the Great Elder of the Elephant Clan.
This barbarian army, which gathered the main force of the elephant clan, had reached the outside of the walls of the Southern Barbarian City at this time.
Unlike what happened to the elephant clan, Nanban City would not have such a low level of vigilance, so before the main force of the barbarian army reached the corner of the city wall, the defenders of Nanban City had already seen the main force of the barbarian army coming from a distance and getting closer and closer to them.
"What is that?" When the main force of the barbarian army appeared on the horizon in the distance, standing on the city wall, looking at Zhao Bai in the distance outside the city, he was surprised to find this barbarian army's mount, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Bai's 1,000 Xinghua soldiers have been incorporated into the Xinghua Legion and become the reserve army of the First Legion. Although Zhao Bai's reserve army has not been arranged to join any war for the time being, they are not all without military affairs. According to the military order, Zhao Bai must always pay attention to the movements of the barbarian army, so as not to know the enemy's situation when fighting, and of course, it is also to prevent the barbarian army from raiding Nanban City, which was affected because it was not prepared in advance.
Therefore, today, accompanied by a staff officer named Zhao Weini in the Xinghua Legion, Zhao Bai climbed the city wall to observe.
Hearing Zhao Bai's exclamation, the staff officer Zhao Weini immediately raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked in the direction Zhao Bai pointed. It's good not to look at this, but when I saw it, I was immediately surprised: "That's a giant elephant! I must report to the general immediately!"
As soon as Zhao Weini's voice fell, he immediately signaled to Zhao Bai, and quickly ran down the city wall. I'm going to report back on the situation.
Only Zhao Bai remained, together with the defenders of Nanban City, facing the main force of the barbarians who were getting closer and closer in front. In their eyes. At a distance of about 500 meters ahead, three giant elephants actually appeared!
Even if they were far away, Zhao Bai could already be sure that these three giant elephants were definitely not of an ordinary size, and I am afraid that it would be rare to see such a huge elephant in the entire Firmament Continent. It is according to this preliminary estimate of the naked eye. These giant elephants can almost be said to be as tall as the walls of Nanban City!
Obviously, this is definitely a bad come!
Take a closer look. On the back of each giant elephant, a platform was built, and on each platform, there were no less than twenty barbarian archers. These archers. Obviously. It is to rely on long-range attacks to suppress the Xinghua defenders on the city wall!
Realizing this, Zhao Bai's face suddenly became extremely grim.
After receiving Zhao Weini's report, Neo immediately ordered the corps mortar battalion to move hundreds of mortars to the city gate, and ordered the artillerymen to aim their guns at the giant elephant outside the city! As long as the barbarian army dared to use the giant elephant to attack the city, or continue to drive the giant elephant close to the city wall. The mortars of the Xinghua army, it will be unceremonious. Launch together now and greet these giant elephants!
When the time comes, the mortar will be fired in unison, and these giant elephants will be dealt with in the shortest possible time, and the barbarian army will definitely not be given any chance.
Dangdangdang...... In the towers of the city, sirens also sounded. This is a signal of an enemy invasion.
Neo was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to climb the tower to see what was going on, but his officers prevented Neo from making this dangerous move, and they did not approve of Neo's approach to the front line.
After weighing it, Neo finally accepted the advice of his officers, and continued to stay in the specially reinforced command room of the City Guard's Mansion, answering outside news as soon as possible, and directing the battle through the walkie-talkie at any time.
It's just that after hearing the siren, Neo's heart couldn't settle down again after all, and waited silently and seriously for the front line to send back the news.
After a while, Neo finally waited for accurate information from the end of the tower, and the Eagle Clan's Eagle Knights, about 300 or so horsemen, also flew over Nanban City.
"Report, it was found that the giant elephant platform archers have fire oil, they have rockets. ”
"It was reported that the Giant Eagle was carrying a large number of oil tanks on board. ”
On the wall of Nanban City, the observers of the Xinghua garrison army, after the alarm sounded, kept an eye on the main force of the barbarian army led by the great elder of the elephant clan who was gradually approaching from a distance through binoculars, and finally, they soon discovered that the weapons and equipment and troop arrangements of these main forces of the elephant clan were very strange and suspicious!
Therefore, in order not to delay the military situation, they hurriedly transmitted the observed information to the command headquarters one by one.
Neo always kept a cold face and listened to the information on the battle situation one by one, and when he heard the situation of the enemy army, his face became even more grim! Because Neo was a general with a lot of experience in the battlefield, he had been able to draw a very important information from the fragmentary information reported by the observers -- he had already understood the specific attack plan of the barbarian army.
Obviously, the bow and arrows and the fire oil in the oil cans were the means of attack and destruction of the barbarians! They were going to attack from both the sky and the land, and they wanted to send the eagle knights to pour fire oil from the sky into the southern barbarian city, and then the archers on the back of the giant elephant would shoot rockets into the city from outside the ground walls to ignite the fire. All in all, the main force of the barbarians wants to launch a full-scale attack on the Nanban City, burn the city first, cause chaos in the Nanban City, and then take advantage of the chaos to wait for the opportunity to attack the city!
Neo thought about the tricks of the main force of the barbarian army, and his eyes flashed with a strong sense of slaughter!
A staff officer on the side couldn't see through Neo's thoughts, and without waiting for Neo to give any orders, he dutifully reported his analysis of this information to Neo. Coincidentally, no book is written, and the conclusion of the staff officer coincides with what Neo thinks!
After listening to the staff officer's words, Neo nodded, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and then said angrily: "Damn barbarians, they don't repent when they die, and they don't measure themselves! Any barbarian who is unwilling to submit to the empire is a barbarian, since there is a way in heaven they don't go, and there is no door in hell, they have to break in, okay! Then don't blame us for being unkind! From today on, they only deserve to be slaves!"
Neo's anger burned terribly, causing all the officers present in the command room to feel a chill in their backs, and their hearts trembled even more at his words! These barbarians really don't know how thick the sky is, and they actually rely on such weak firepower. He actually came to attack Nanban City, and he thought that a two-sided attack would be able to make Nanban City fall into a sea of fire, then. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself.
After a pause, he immediately ordered in a cold voice: "Order the anti-aircraft artillery team, once the enemy giant eagle enters the city, open fire, I don't want to see any birds in the sky of Nanban City." ”
"Order the artillery battalion. When the enemy elephant approached the city wall for 200 meters, he opened fire. ”
"Order the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades of the Corps to prepare for the attack. Five minutes after the sound of artillery fire, a general assault was launched on the main forces of the enemy. The reserve army cleans up the battlefield and is responsible for clearing the remnants of the enemy. ”
……
A series of orders were issued, and all the officers in the command room were busy. Guarantee Neo's orders. Unimpeded and smoothly delivered to the front line of the battlefield.
The Grand Elder of the Elephant Clan did not sit on the giant elephant platform, but sat on a carriage of the rear army of the barbarian army. At this time, the Great Elder's face was gloomy and he said, "Isn't there any news about the wolf clan's howl?"
"Great Elder, there is no news. A small leader of the Eagle Clan replied.
"It doesn't make sense that the Xinghua transport team has arrived in Nanban City, and there is no news at all. When the leader of the snake clan heard this, he first expressed his doubts. This situation seems too abnormal. It's not the same situation that they negotiated before they went to war, did something happen in between?
The Great Elder felt a little uncomfortable, paused, and said with a smile: "Maybe the howl is lost, this is a common thing in the land of the Hundred Barbarians, and he will always come back." Now Nanban City is in front of us, let's go in, whoever grabs it first will be whoever's!"
Suddenly, the barbarians around the Great Elder shouted happily. The Great Elder also succeeded in diverting the attention of the barbarian leader. Whatever the howling situation, the Great Elder didn't want the morale of the barbarians to be hit.
"Order the Eagle Knights to start sprinkling fire oil!"
"Elephant forward!"
"The army is attacking!"
Several orders from the Great Elder were issued, and the barbarian army moved towards the Southern Barbarian City.
Not far from an anti-aircraft gun, Qin Xingguo was a little nervous. The Xinghua transport team could not leave Nanban City for the time being, so Neo gave Qin Xingguo and other members of the transport team a task, that is, to protect ten anti-aircraft guns and shells.
"Reload!"
An anti-aircraft gun shell, the size of a child's arm, was loaded into the anti-aircraft gun.
Ten gunners, reloaded.
Ten more gunners, using their scopes, aimed at the sky, approaching the Eagle Knight.
"Aim at the target!"
"The enemy enters the effective firing range!"
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang......
Anti-aircraft gun fire.
A continuous stream of cannonballs, fired at the Eagle Knight in the air.
In the sky, Ying Yang led three hundred eagle knights and slowly approached Nanban City.
Although the task of the Eagle Knight is only to drop the fire oil from high school, and there is no need to approach Nanban City to fight the enemy, Eagle Yang is still a little unsteady in his heart.
When they were about to enter the sky above Nanban City, Ying Yang suddenly had a premonition of danger, and he didn't think much about it, so he immediately opened his mouth and shouted, telling everyone to be careful.
"Everyone be careful......
Boom ......
A loud bang rang in Ying Yang's ears.
Something exploded in the air, and suddenly, the three hundred giant eagles were frightened, and the flight was wrong, and more than a dozen eagle knights almost fell.
However, the nightmare for Eagle Knight is not over.
Boom Boom Boom ......
There were constant explosions sounding beside Ying Yang and the others.
Soon, a giant eagle let out a terrible scream, and flesh flew through the air.
One giant eagle after another raised by the Eagle Clan for a hundred years, was hit in the air. The giant eagle fell, and the eagle people on the back of the giant eagle were also dead and alive in the sky.
At this time, Eagle Yang of the Eagle Clan did not have the spirit to care about the life and death of his subordinates, and he was also in danger.
"Fly!"
"Elevated!"
Eagle Yang shouted, constantly driving the giant eagle to fly in an irregular state.
The terrified Eagle Knights regarded Nanban City as hell and scattered in all directions.
However, the 10 anti-aircraft guns did not give up and pursued them.
More and more giant eagles, unbearable.
Some of the giant eagles, even before they were shot, fainted in fright.
In less than a minute, three hundred eagle knights, less than one hundred and fifty were still flying in space.
Outside the Southern Barbarian City, the barbarian soldiers saw the Eagle Knight attacking, and they were silent after a while of cheering.
The Great Elder of the Elephant Clan and the leaders of the Barbarian Alliance watched as the knights of the Eagle Clan became fewer and fewer. Everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
"Great Elder, do you want to ......," a barbarian leader said uneasily. He hoped that the Great Elder would stop the siege for the time being and see what was going on.
"No, we can't retreat at this time! If we retreat, we won't have a chance. The Great Elder of the Elephant Clan insisted.
As soon as the Great Elder's words fell, the three giant elephants, who had just stepped into the range of the mortar attack, were attacked devastatingly.
Bang bang......
Hundreds of mortar shells, with a parabolic attack path, accurately hit the giant elephant.
The giant elephant platform suddenly exploded into a huge explosion.
The giant elephants suddenly screamed and moved wildly, and they were blown up!
The three giant elephants went mad, and the barbarians around them suffered. Dozens of barbarians immediately died under the big feet of the giant elephant. What's more, the panic of the giant elephant greatly hit the morale of the barbarian army.
At this time, the gates of Nanban City opened, and the elite soldiers of the Xinghua Legion went out of the city.
"Kill!"
Three thousand Xinghua troops lined up in an attack formation outside the city.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Before the Xinghua army did not engage the barbarian army, the mortars did not stop shelling and continued to attack the barbarian army.
The barbarian army on the battlefield was completely blinded by mortar shells! Some barbarians could not even distinguish between east, west, north, and south, and some barbarians ran around in order to avoid giant elephants and mortar shells.
Inevitably, some barbarians fell to the ground, some barbarians wanted to run, and there was a stampede between the barbarians. Many barbarians were not killed by mortar shells at all, but trampled to death by their own people. There are even some barbarians, in order to escape faster, swinging their knives and slashing at the barbarians of other tribes.
In the rear of the barbarian army, the leaders of the barbarian coalition army were stunned as their coalition army fell into chaos.
"The enemy's gates are open!"
The Great Elder of the Elephant Clan had sharp eyes, saw the opening of the Southern Barbarian City, and shouted loudly, wanting to tell the barbarian soldiers to rush forward.
The shouts of the Great Elder of the Elephant Clan still had some effect, and the big and small leaders around him also shouted loudly to the barbarian soldiers in front of him.
After a while, the leaders of a part of the barbarian army, hearing the shouts from the rear, restrained their tribesmen and turned to the southern barbarian city. This part of the barbarian soldiers, about seven or eight hundred people. They saw the neatly arranged Xinghua army under the Nanban City, still holding their swords and charging forward.
Wei Wu smiled and shouted, "Brothers, the barbarians are coming to death, let's give them a ride!"
"Give them a ride!" shouted the Xinghua soldiers in unison.
Bang! bang......
The soldiers of the various brigades of the Xinghua Legion, in strict accordance with the infantry ethics, shot at the charging barbarians.
Volley after salvo, barbarian soldiers, in rows, fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the barbarian leaders immediately took a breath of air.
What kind of weapons do the Xinghua Army have?
"Ahh
The Great Elder of the Elephant Clan no longer insisted, and ordered the barbarian army to retreat. (To be continued.) )
