Chapter 303: Great Victory
Nayo Ohno and Junra Ozawa are both smart people, and the two of them are also thinking about retreating while they are crazy, at this moment they are only four or five miles away from the city gate, and the two ordered the soldiers to retreat as much as possible, although the battle guards dispatched cavalry, but there is a stumbling horse formation outside the city wall, as long as they enter the stumbling horse formation area, the cavalry of the war guard army will not be able to chase them.
The width of the city gate in Hongya Province is limited, which is not conducive to the collective dispatch of large troops, so as long as you escape from the city gate, you can flee in all directions, once you get out of the city, the battle guards will not dare to blatantly pursue, if they are in hot pursuit, the soldiers and horses stationed in the island country will come to support, so if you want to survive, you have to withdraw from the city gate, if you continue to stay in the city, sooner or later it will be served in a pot.
Although the idea was good, but these things they thought of, Ling Xia also thought of in advance, so after Cheng Zhen's cavalry went out, he first exterminated the Japanese soldiers who used catapults to attack, and then blocked the city gate, forcing those who had retreated to the edge of the city gate back into the city.
Just as the crossbowmen above the city wall launched an indiscriminate attack on the city, the ranged units of the battle guards also launched a non-stop attack on the city wall, and a dark cloud of arrows was really thrown into the city wall like rain.
……
Xue Tianlie: "Huh...... I'm in a hurry, why hasn't the fight finished outside? ”
Zhang Yixia: "What do you mean by the corps commander?" Unexpectedly, only Cheng Zhen's 10,000-strong team was sent to participate in the battle. ”
Yan Sanniang: "I'm really anxious, in such a big war, the commander of the corps didn't allow us to participate." ”
Ji Mo: "Everyone, please calm down, the legion commander must have his intentions in arranging this." ”
Xue Tianlie: "What is the intention?" Hiding here and pretending to be a coward? What will others think of us in the future? ”
Zhang Yixia: "Yes, they all went to war, but our Thunder Legion didn't go on, it's a shame." ”
Yan Sanniang: "In the past, we were all pioneers, but now we are sitting by and watching, alas! ”
When Ling Xia was assigning tasks, I don't know why? He didn't send the Thunder Legion into battle, but only sent Cheng Zhen's light cavalry team of 10,000 people, as for the rest of the Thunder Legion, Ling Xia didn't send any of them, after receiving the notice, Xue Tianlie and the others were taken aback, seeing that the other legions were all fighting with equipment, they went to find Ling Xia to ask for battle, but they were kicked out.
After the battle began, Xue Tianlie and the others gathered around the gate of the camp to check, because Ling Xia issued a military order to prevent them from leaving the camp, so although everyone was anxious, they did not dare to leave privately, at this moment, seeing a few people in a hurry, their tone was full of complaints, Du Qijun spoke: "Shut up, don't complain, the regiment commander has his own reasons for doing this, and I will stay honest." ”
……
This battle lasted for four hours, even if the battle guards were calculating or not, even if the war zone was fully prepared in advance, even if Ling Xia and they mobilized heavy troops to fight, but in the face of the threat of death, the soldiers of the island country also burst out of potential, and under the almost suicidal resistance of those Japanese robbers, the war guards also paid a very heavy price.
At the end of the battle, it was already dawn, and the battle guards fought all night to annihilate all the pirates, at this time the soldiers were cleaning the corpses and collecting the siege weapons left by the pirates, although the pirates were dead, but the siege weapons they brought were good things, such as the 15,000 catapults, 200,000 siege crossbows, and 600 wall-breaking crossbows......
In the big tent of the barracks, Ling Xia, Gu Xiuyuan, Luzhu Weng, Kong Yikong and other commanders were listening to the battle report, at this moment, a general was reporting the loss of troops, this battle completely annihilated the two integrated group armies of the Japanese Invaders, exterminated 2.08 million Japanese Invaders, and captured countless siege equipment, special stone bullets, crossbow arrows, and crossbow pillars, which can be described as a complete victory.
After hearing this data, Kong Yikong and Lu Jianxing clapped their hands excitedly, everyone applauded, Zhen Long laughed happily, they had been suppressed by the Japanese Legion for too long during this time, and after hearing the news of the victory at this moment, they all smiled.
"What about our losses?" In addition to being excited, Gu Xiuyuan asked this question.
