Chapter 195: The Battle for the Defending the City Nine
Situ Chenfeng led the cavalry team of 10,000 people to level the giant shield soldiers on the opposite side, after the war horse crashed into the giant shield in the hands of the enemy, the cavalry pulled the reins to turn the horse aside, at the same time, the archers on the city wall "sigh" and let go of the arrows, just like that, with the cooperation of the cavalry, the archers in the arrow tower threw away the armor of those giant shield soldiers.
Although the cavalry and archers combined to kill the giant shield soldiers of the island country, dealing a devastating blow to the giant shield soldiers, those giant shield soldiers were not vegetarians, they carried shields horizontally. It was like smashing the horse's legs with a broomstick, and when the horse stumbled and the cavalry fell off the horse's back, the giant shield soldiers took the opportunity to rush up and kill the cavalry with their swords.
When the cavalry and the giant shield soldiers were entangled, the 10,000-person team of Yue Qianfeng, Jiang Hailiu, and Luo Laoda fought with the 30,000 giant hammer soldiers, among the three, Yue Qianfeng's 10,000-person team was the strongest, although the giant hammer soldiers had strong physical fitness and rich combat experience, but Yue Qianfeng and they were still crushing the other party to kill the enemy.
But Luo Boss and Jiang Hailiu's 10,000 people team is not so smooth, especially Jiang Hailiu's 10,000 people's team, he is all infantry, weapons are spears, as soon as they fight, the soldiers suffered the loss of weapons, spears and giant hammers meet, spears are smashed by giant hammers, after no weapons, soldiers can only hold wooden poles to compete with giant hammer soldiers.
The specialty of the 10,000-person team under the command of Boss Luo is field warfare, and all kinds of troops are fully established, including a giant shield team of 1,000 people and a giant hammer team of 1,000 people, and even a heavy cavalry team of 100,000 people, although they are not as superb as the special forces team of 10,000 people, but they can also confront head-on, but when fighting, the soldiers have less experience than the enemy.
"Yue Qianfeng, divide into a team to support the infantry 10,000 people, they can't stand it." After Ling Xia saw the situation below, he immediately ordered Yue Qianfeng to send people to support Jiang Hailiu's 10,000-strong team, and seeing that the five Luo brothers were about to be led away by the other party's Captain Wan, he hurriedly reminded everyone loudly: "Don't wave, it's obscene." ”
"Division commander, the shield soldiers of the second echelon of the opponent rushed over to cover the cavalry, this time the enemy army dispatched at least three legions, and the lethality of our siege crossbows and archers can no longer threaten the other party, if this continues, it will only take half an hour for the enemy's cavalry to rush over." At this time, Huya ran to Ling Xia's side and reminded him that reinforcements were about to arrive.
"Everyone listened to the order, the enemy came to help, immediately gave up the battle, and all the men retreated into the city."
Reminded by Huya, Ling Xia looked up at the opposite side, and saw that the reinforcements of the other party's two legions were about to rush to the city, he hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat, although they failed to wipe out all the other party's soldiers, but the opponent's giant shield soldiers were almost killed and wounded, and the giant hammer soldiers were also killed two-thirds, and the enemy army was no longer able to threaten the city gate, and the purpose of going out of the city to meet the enemy this time was also achieved.
Hearing Ling Xia's order, Yue Qianfeng and the others immediately gave up their opponents and led their soldiers back to the city, because Ling Xia had expanded the city gate before, which facilitated the scale of the soldiers entering and exiting, so the speed of the team's retreat was extremely fast, and when all the soldiers returned to the camp, dozens of soldiers pushed the huge city gate and closed the city gate again.
As soon as the soldiers withdrew to the inner city, the enemy's reinforcements, under the cover of the second-echelon giant shield soldiers, rushed to the gate of the city in batches, a reorganized cavalry corps, an integrated archer division, 50,000 wall climbers, 20,000 giant shield soldiers, 3,000 chariots, and a spear corps, gathered under the city wall, and the water in the southern city was impassable.
This time, the enemy army was full of three legions, more than 300,000 Japanese soldiers came to the city, and after the troops were deployed, they were discharged for ten miles, seeing this posture, Ling Xia secretly gasped, although the enemy had not yet attacked the city at this moment, but the murderous aura emitted made him frightened, silent for a moment, he quietly ordered Lao Cui: "Go and ask for help." ”
As soon as Lao Cui left, Yue Qianfeng, Jiang Hailiu, Luo Laoda, and Situ Chenfeng came up, and when they saw the scene under the city, the four of them all looked at each other with a worried face, and muttered, Yue Qianfeng couldn't help but say: "The enemy actually dispatched the strength of three legions, it seems that they plan to attack, what should we do?" ”
"The disparity in strength is too great, and hard resistance will definitely not work, or will it? Let's also learn the method of the eastern city, retreat the battle line to the city, avoid the edge of the enemy's main force, if the enemy army enters the city to search, we can divide the force into small forces, and use the sparrow warfare you invented to fight the opponent. Pei Nanpo and several staff members proposed a plan for retreating.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Xia shook his head, he rejected this plan: "No, this plan can only be implemented from one city gate, the southern city was flooded, and the eastern city was forced to retreat to the inner city because of the loss, if we also retreat, then the enemy will occupy the city gate of the north city, and the two city gates will be lost at the same time, and the state of Antario will exist in name only."
After we retreat to the inner city, although we can use the terrain to deal with the enemy army for a while, if the enemy army in the north city and the enemy army in the east city join forces and use carpet attack tactics to drive us away, then we and the battle guards in the east city will be forced inland by the enemy, and once the main force of the opponent's army sends troops to support, we will be destroyed in an instant.
At this moment, the main force of the enemy's Fourth Corps went to conquer the next province, and we were only facing a lone army, which was fighting on two fronts, because they were afraid of our counterattack, and they were afraid that we would copy them later, so they did not dare to stretch the line of troops, nor did they dare to go deep into the interior alone, but if we gave up the city gate, they would have no worries. ”
"So how do we deal with the situation in front of us?" Situ Chenfeng looked at Ling Xia with a frown.
"What should I do?" Ling Xia pointed to the city wall at his feet and responded loudly: "The blood-stained red flag will fight endlessly, and the enemy army will not be allowed to go further." ”
"Hold on?" Hearing Ling Xia's words, all the generals on the scene were taken aback: "Even if we fight our division and regiment, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Before the words were finished, a horn suddenly sounded under the city, it seems that the other party has already made a siege plan, with the sound of the horn, the soldiers under the city began to act, tens of thousands of hook ropes were thrown on the city wall, and then, tens of thousands of wall climbers began to climb the wall along the rope, for a while, the city wall was full of soldiers, like ants as black pressure all over the city wall.
When the soldiers in the enemy tower walked to the city wall with machetes to cut ropes, the enemy archers under the cover of the giant shield soldiers, aimed and shot the battle guards on the city wall with tools, so that the soldiers who were responsible for cutting the enemy ropes with waist knives were killed by arrows, and when the archers of the arrow tower shot downward, the arrows were all blocked by the giant shield.
Just when the enemy archers, under the protection of the giant shield soldiers, covered their own wall climbers to enter the city, another wave of enemy attacks began, hundreds of island soldiers pushed a chariot, and slammed the city gate one after another, it seems that they plan to use brute force to force the city gate open.
