Chapter 277: Arrival

At the instigation of the generals, the first group of heavy armored soldiers from the east rushed into the city through the gap in the east gate of Xilin City.

Bang bang bang...... But when they had just rushed through the city gate and had not yet gained a firm foothold in Xilin City, they immediately ushered in a "welcome gift" from the Xinghua Legion - at least a hundred rounds of bullets!

The oncoming bullets hit the armor of the heavily armored soldiers, and there was a clanging sound, but it did not hurt anyone.

"They are wearing armor! Hit them in the face, or the bare parts of their legs!" The gun battle lasted for a while, and the officers of the Xinghua Regiment found that the damage of the enemy was not as great as expected, and the sound was not right, and after a closer look, they found that the soldiers of the Dongli army were all prepared, wearing hard and unbreakable armor, so they immediately ordered the Xinghua soldiers to change their attack methods so as not to continue to waste firepower.

The strategy of the Xinghua officers was clearly effective. Although the Dongli heavy armor soldiers were extremely defensive, it was precisely because of the bulkiness of the armor that it inevitably hindered their movements, and their attacks were always inflexible. And the Xinghua officer took a fancy to this flaw.

Therefore, although the battle began, the Dongli heavy armored soldiers advanced layer by layer by virtue of their numerical superiority, and the Xinghua soldiers had to retreat step by step. However, after the Hinghua officers discovered their flaws, they ordered all the soldiers of the army to focus on their weak points, and succeeded in slowing down the pace of their attack.

There are also Dongli archers, although their attack power is not weak, but in the environment of street fighting, their long-range attack advantage cannot be exerted, and the attack speed is obviously not comparable to the gunners of the Xinghua Royal Affiliated Legion, when the two armies fight. Archers of the Great Army of the East. It is inevitable that they will be attacked by Xinghua's gunmen from time to time.

That's it. Although the Dongli soldiers were menacing, they never reaped any benefits, and the soldiers on both sides fell into a stalemate of battle.

The battle situation in Xilin City, the commanders of both sides, were very concerned. But what was even more surprising was Qi Hu, the commander of the Dongli Army.

When he saw the Shenwu cannon blast open the east gate of Xilin City, he proudly thought that the overall situation had been decided and was mobilizing the army. Preparing to enter the city to officially start the recovery operation, he was still thinking that after a little rest, he would turn around and attack the Xinghua Legion who dared to invade Nantu City.

But his wishful thinking seems to have been played too soon. Next, the Dongli army was unable to march, and the army had already dispatched soldiers with heavy armor and equipment, and they did not even show half an advantage.

Without the city wall, Xilin City still hasn't been conquered! This really annoyed Qi Hu! It is conceivable that if this situation spreads, he will have the prestige of a marshal. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Qi Hu was in a hurry. His fists were clenched, and he suddenly roared angrily: "Pass my order!" Long Xiang's army will enter the city and completely destroy the Xilin rebel army!"

Subsequently, Qi Hu continued to send 8,000 additional soldiers to attack Xilin City. At the moment of the order, Qi Hu even secretly decided that no matter what, he would gnaw the hard bone of Xilin City.

In a small forest about a kilometer away from Xilin City, the Xinghua Army led by Yi Xingchen was hidden here.

"Have you contacted anyone from Xilin City?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"The signal is unstable and there is too much noise. A communications soldier of the Xinghua Army held a walkie-talkie and replied while debugging.

Yi Xingchen and the others tried to contact the Xinghua Intelligence Bureau personnel in Xilin City, and they also had walkie-talkies in their hands. According to theoretical data, within a radius of three kilometers, it is possible to establish communications.

"The reconnaissance team, with a walkie-talkie, tried to get close to Xilin City and get in touch with Muen, Leon and others in the city. Tell them that we're going to attack at dawn tomorrow. ”

Since communication could not be established for a while, Yi Xingchen thought about it, and did not intend to waste time on this, so he only handed over the contact task to the soldiers of the Xinghua Legion reconnaissance team and asked them to continue to try to connect, so he ignored it. Anyway, no matter whether they can contact the surviving Xinghua Army in Xilin City, the time when the Xinghua Army will launch an attack on the Dongli Army outside Xilin City will not change. If you can get in touch with Mu En, it's just a matter of meeting with each other.

"Report to the king, the logistics troops of the kingdom, send a batch of bullets. "Another personal guard came into the account to report good news.

"Great! Very timely!" Yi Xingchen was overjoyed when he heard this.

The military supplies sent by the kingdom this time were mainly weapons and equipment purchased from the Sinai Peninsula of Blue Mercury, including grenades, bullets, and even 1,000 sets of gas masks from arms dealers. This large amount of military supplies, Sheen and they sent people to transport all of them. Not only that, in addition to this batch of military supplies, Sheehan also arranged for his subordinates to transport the latest 500,000 bullets produced by the Xinghua City Bullet Factory. In order to ensure that this large number of equipment arrived safely in Yi Xingchen's legion, Sheen also specially sent a team of five hundred people to be responsible for transportation.

Not long ago, the Xinghua Army experienced a battle, and it was precisely because of that attrition that Yi Xingchen was somewhat worried that it would affect this battle with the Dongli Army. After all, in the face of tens of thousands of troops leaving the east, the advantage of the Xinghua Legion mainly comes from guns and ammunition, and if the number of bullets is really insufficient, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the Xinghua Legion. Fortunately, Sheen's batch of military supplies was sent at the right time, and at this moment, the Xinghua Legion had the supply of ammunition, and there would be no constraints in the battle, and it could continue to fight, and suppress the firepower of the Dongli Army, which was one of the main reasons for the Xinghua Legion to win more with less.

Of course, in addition to the powerful arms supply, the Xinghua Legion also specially formulated a perfect battle plan for the Eastern Departure Army.

According to the tactical layout of the officers of the Xinghua Army, the 1st and 2nd Legions of the Xinghua Royal Army will form an elite unit, go straight into the heart of the enemy, and launch an attack directly towards the command center of the Dongli Army, the commander of the Dongli Army, and be sure to break through the core of the Dongli Army in one fell swoop.

The 1st and 2nd Legions of the Kingdom of Xinghua will follow closely behind the Xinghua Royal Legion, in addition to assisting when necessary, and at the same time mainly responsible for logistics and military supplies and tail sweeping work, of course, to ensure the continuous supply of ammunition for the Xinghua Royal Legion.

In addition, Yi Xingchen also summoned Zhao Jin, Zhao Hu and Bi Shishi's Xinghua Kingdom Xilin Legion, and ordered them to attack after the Xinghua Royal Legion launched, once the enemy army retreated, they would take the opportunity to lead the army to attack, adding fire to the enemy's retreat, making them even more confused.

There is no doubt that no matter how powerful the Dongli army is, it will eventually be defeated by the Xinghua army! Yi Xingchen is very confident in this! (To be continued......)
