Chapter 1068: The Danger of South China City
Huacheng, whose real name is South China City, belongs to the southern town of the Beixuan Empire, and is also one of the six major towns along the border, and it is precisely because the six major towns are connected into a line that forms the first line of defense of the Beixuan Empire, therefore, in the first line of defense, the location of South China City is very important and extraordinary, so the garrison here is more than 300,000.
At the north entrance, Giselle ran wildly, heading towards Luo Tianwu's house, and the soldiers patrolling along the road all saluted, but Giselle didn't have time to respond, and rushed away, letting people know that there was a big war report ahead.
"Giselle, what's the matter?"
"The urgent news I just received was from the Shadow Guard using the Flying Eagle, Marshal, please take a look."
Luo Tianwu stood up, took it, and looked at Giselle's demeanor, of course she guessed that this time the news must be not small, but after reading it, she was still taken aback, and shouted: "Someone." ”
The two master guards had already entered quickly, and answered, "What does the marshal command?" ”
"The commander ordered that the Sixth Army Corps and the Ninth Army Corps should use the fastest speed to aid the Twelfth and Thirteenth Army Corps and make every effort to storm South China City.
"Yes."
The two master guards turned around and immediately lost their traces, the Sixth Legion and the Ninth Legion both belonged to the reserve legion, stationed closest to South China City, since Luo Tianwu received the news from the shadow, Qingyue led the army to approach South China City, how could she miss such an opportunity.
"Giselle, let's go, today is our best time to break through, South China City."
It is indeed fast, because I believe that it will not be long before Beixuan Xiongxin will also receive the news, once the reinforcements are sent, the fighter will be gone in a flash, and Luo Tianwu will go in person to supervise the storming of South China City, and will definitely break through South China City and break the first line of defense of the Beixuan Empire before the other party's reinforcements arrive.
"Woo woo woo -----" The long and deep sound of the military horn sounded, and the 6th and 9th regiments, which had received the marshal's military order, had already marched with the whole army and rushed straight to South China City.
South China City is also in the middle of the battle at the moment, the twelfth and thirteenth legions, after yesterday's day of strong attack, the loss is not small, but today is still a strong attack, it seems to want to use this barbaric slaughter, consume the strength of the other party, compared with the two countries, the military strength of the Shenlong Empire, is not small than the Northern Xuan Empire.
It's just that this kind of loss and sacrifice is still distressing.
"General, I just received news from the marshal, the sixth and ninth legions are coming to help, and the marshal will be there in person soon, and we must break through South China City today." The herald passed the news to the commander of the 123rd Legion.
Yan Yuanjia is the commander of the two major army corps.
Hearing this, his face changed slightly, and he looked at the tall city that the army was attacking in the distance, and asked: "How could the marshal suddenly make such a decision, even if we have the advantage in numbers, but in this siege battle, we can't use it at all?" ”
"Lao Yan, don't think about it so much, since the marshal has issued a military order, there must be a reason, let's attack with all our might, and when the marshal arrives, we will naturally understand."
Military orders are like mountains, it is a duty in the army, no matter who it is, it must not be disobeyed, especially when it comes to the war, the war is the most important, if there is anything unconvinced, you can wait for the report after the war, and the military aircraft department will deal with it, and even the emperor can deal with it.
So even if Yan Yuanjia is dissatisfied, or unwilling, he can only suppress it in his heart at this time.
"Send the order to go down, increase the strength of the two wings, and tell the soldiers that the marshal will come to Nanhua City in person, don't embarrass my sixth and seventh legions, attack the city, siege the city."
In order to grab the speed, the twelfth and thirteenth legions arrived almost at the same time as Luo Tianwu, and of course there were 10,000 guards with Luo Tianwu, standing on top of the high post, Luo Tianwu stood beside more than a dozen generals with bloody killing spirits, Giselle, Yan Yuanjia, and more than a dozen legion generals.
"Ben Shuai has just received the disappearance, the legion that has infiltrated the territory of the Beixuan Empire has approached South China City, and will attack the city behind it, attacking from both sides, today must take South China City, the other party will send troops to help when they receive the news, this battle, Ben Shuai personally commanded."
"The Sixth and Ninth Army Corps, strengthen the forces to attack the city, the Twelfth and Twenty-third Army Corps, open up a new siege route, and then attack without stopping, give the order to go down, shoot all the arrows, immediately, immediately."
"Yes, Marshal."
On the other side of South China City, Qing Yue led the army to drive 300,000 civilians and had already approached South China City, but General Meng was taken aback, pointed ahead and shouted: "Commander, it seems that the front is South China City." ”
"Yes, this is South China City, the frontal imperial army is attacking, General Meng, the siege task is handed over to you, the commander of this regiment will lead 20,000 cavalry to block the pursuing legion behind, and the others will be handed over to you, be sure to press in on all fronts, reduce the pressure on the frontal siege army, swear to attack, and then attack."
"Ben will obey." General Meng is not afraid of death, this kind of frontal battlefield, the most suitable for him, he is brave and good at fighting, is indeed a strong general, after the order of Qingyue, he has been eager to gather a large army to attack the city, this is South China City, the front must be the imperial army, now two sides of the attack, it is a good time to break the city.
"Military division, send people to drive away civilians, press up, help General Meng to attack the city, succeed and defeat in one fell swoop, go all out." The military advisor stepped forward and replied in a deep voice: "Please rest assured that the corps commander will never let you down." ”
He also understands that this kind of thing is for General Meng to do, he must be very reluctant in his heart, then it is easy to do bad things, for the breakthrough of the imperial army, even if all 300,000 civilians die, he will not be merciful, at this time the two countries are at war, both sides are enemies, and to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to himself.
The military advisor is not a fool, of course, he also understands the reason of the love moon arrangement, and immediately responds.
Seeing that General Meng and the military division left, taking away all the infantry troops, the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry had already turned back, facing the two major Northern Xuan Empire legions that were about to pursue, their task was to block the two major legions, not to let them destroy the siege of General Meng, I believe that under the attack on both sides, South China City will soon be breached.
Therefore, even if the whole army is destroyed, time must be left for the besieging army.
"Star slave, pass on the orders of the head of this regiment, fight to the death, fight to the death."
At this moment, I really have to fight to the death, and I would rather die than retreat.
Luo Tianwu, who was attacking the city head-on, also quickly heard different sounds of fighting, coming from the back of Huaxu City, and was overjoyed in his heart, and sent another order to strengthen the siege.
At this time, Beixuan Ambition and Xiao Chengxiang, who were hundreds of miles away, had already received the news that on the military map, the fingers of the two pointed to South China City.
"I just received a report that the Shenlong Empire has an army transfer, and I believe that it is going to South China City, and your lordship immediately has a reserve army to rescue South China City with all its might. Otherwise, it's dangerous! ”
Beixuan Xiongxin did not hesitate, and immediately issued a royal order to transfer the reserve army to help, but the land of a hundred miles also takes a lot of time, just hope that South China City can support until that time, but he does not dare to guarantee that it will be attacked from both sides at this time, although the lord of South China City is also a wise man, but the troops are far from enough, and he is afraid of more than one bad luck.
So Prime Minister Xiao immediately bowed and said: "Your Excellency, this fierce battle, I'm afraid it's a little bad, the old minister pleads, please leave the camp in front of you immediately and return to Xiongcheng." ”
Bei Xuanxiong's face changed sharply, but he didn't say anything for a while, just whispered faintly: "Prime Minister, then the matter here will be handed over to you." ”
As a king, representing the existence of the empire, he can die, but he can't be captured, the situation is changing too quickly, he really can't stay in such a dangerous place, otherwise once he is captured by the Shenlong Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Please rest assured, the old minister will not let the Shenlong Empire succeed lightly."
The change in this battle, the legion from the Shenlong Empire only sneaked in, such an omission, of course Old Man Xiao will not do it again, but it also depends on the battle situation in South China City, once there is a change, he will be the first to give the order to retreat, save the strength of the empire, and retreat to the second line of defense, he is not the kind of person who will not care about the consequences for the sake of a momentary anger.
The empire is weak, and the recruits he is training now are not yet able to fight, so he must try to preserve the strength of the first-line legions.
When the king leaves safely, he can let go and go all out.
The battle of South China City, suddenly became the focus of the entire northern war, the Shenlong Empire gathered 400,000 troops, which is one-fifth of the strength of the Northern War, and attacked South China City, South China City also has 300,000 horses, but this more than a month of attack, the loss of more than half, there was originally a reserve army, but it was transferred away by the king, and now in South China City, there are only 200,000 soldiers who can fight, defending such a big city, or surrounded on all sides.
Hua Wei was a veteran of the three dynasties in the Beixuan Empire, he was old, but his cultivation was profound, and after the civil strife calmed down, he was invited by the Beixuan Xiongxin to publish a book, and he was in charge of two major armies and stationed in South China City.
I have to say that Hua Wei not only has enough prestige, but also has the ability to live up to the name of the god of war, for a month, South China City is solid, but at this moment, the situation has changed greatly, he stood on top of the tall city tower, looking at the siege army on the back, as well as the civilians of the Beixuan Empire who were screaming in the flames of war, and his heart ached.
Although it is said that on the battlefield, in order to win, unscrupulous means, but this time it is the power of the Beixuan Empire that is lost, and these civilians are the foundation of the empire.
Looking at the other party's strategy, he already knew that the leader of the legion who led the army to infiltrate the inner line of the empire this time was a scheming and vicious person, and such a person was definitely not easy to deal with.
"General, the prime minister has sent an order, South China City must hold out for two hours and wait for reinforcements."
Looking at the momentum of the front and back attacks, it is becoming more and more ferocious, where can it hold on for so long.
"Mobilize the people of South China City, help the army defend the city, notify the major families, and send people over, otherwise the tragic scene of Liaocheng and Miancheng will be their tomorrow."
"Yes, General."
At this moment of crisis, Hua Wei also had to be ruthless and pour South China City with his life, after all, he knew very well that once South China City broke through, the entire imperial defense line would collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The powerful Beixuan Empire was like a sick tiger, and in the face of the aggressive Shenlong Empire, there was not much means to resist.
War is ruthless, between offense and defense, no one cares whether it is the army or civilians, and all those who stand in front of them have only one result, that is, killing.
At this moment, the sky was dyed red.
