Chapter 66: The Fierce Battle
Under the frenzied offensive of the Kashas, the number of the Sun Army was drastically reduced, and the reserve soldiers began to enter the city and engage in fierce battles with the enemy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When facing death, people usually have only two reactions, either to meet or to retreat, but once there is no way out, only instinctive resistance remains.
This is the case on both sides now.
Beiyan was trapped in the lonely city, needless to say, Xia Canglang's choice to attack the city was even more helpless. For the millions of Kashya's army, their own rout is the most terrible enemy. Otherwise, if we concentrate the strength of millions of people, what can we not defeat?
Victory or defeat is just a thought! Xia Canglang knew this very well, so he was willing to brave the attack of oil and fire and thunder, and led the crowd to attack the city.
I have to say that Xia Canglang is indeed an excellent commander, who controls the situation well, allows the soldiers to turn fear into the courage to attack the city, and also makes the people on the steamboat throw rats. Although he lost a lot of people, he succeeded in saving the Kasha army, which was about to collapse.
He hoped that the Kasha people could maintain their morale all the time, and in this way, if they were replaced by any opponent, they would only feel a headache.
The Beiyan soldiers at the head of the city have changed batch after batch, and there is not much left of the Lieyang Army with excellent combat effectiveness, and those ordinary soldiers are not the opponents of the siege soldiers, so they have to fall down the city wall with their opponents in their arms.
The city was littered with the corpses of the Kasha and Beiyan, stacked on top of each other, more than several meters high, whether they were generals or soldiers in their lifetimes, they all became lowly ants here.
Hundreds of siege ladders were erected on the walls, and Kasha soldiers crawled along wet blood trails on them. Then he rushed to the head of the city and started a robbery with the Beiyan people. Xia Canglang's heart breathed a sigh of relief, judging from the performance of both sides, the Beiyan elite in Sun City was still consumed after all.
The fierceness of the battle made both the attackers and defenders ignore the visitors in mid-air, until the huge figure of the steamboat slowly approached the blood-stained city wall.
"Watch the top of your head!" Xia Canglang was in a hurry, loudly reminding the soldiers under the city, and at the same time, revealing his location. He was so careless that he ignored the important fact that the altitude of the steamboat was within the range of the bow and arrow.
In order to increase the accuracy of the attack, the soldiers who control the steamboat take great risks. Seeing that the other party had discovered themselves, they decisively threw the thunder in their hands. The thunderbolt fell unmistakably into the besieging crowd with a loud roar, but the numb soldiers did not pay attention to this sharp weapon, and their eyes were only blood-stained walls and stubborn opponents, until there was a sharp sting in their eyes, and they could not help but let out a scream.
Gong Liangyu knew that an explosive weapon like a lightning bolt could have limited lethality for a million-strong army, so he chose the type of doped drug. The drug is mildly toxic and can cause coughing, tearing, and difficulty breathing, and has been used many times in previous battles.
The gray-white poison drifts around with the air, and finally turns into a colorless and transparent gas. Soldiers who inhaled this gas all became stinging and tearful in their eyes, itchy throats, and lost their combat effectiveness.
A single thunderbolt only killed hundreds of soldiers, but made thousands of soldiers lose the ability to fight in an instant. An abnormal situation occurred under the city, which greatly reduced the pressure on the city, and the Kasha soldiers who finally reached the head of the city, lacking the support of friendly forces, suddenly became lonely, so that the Beiyan people were forced to retreat again and again.
Many defenders took advantage of this opportunity to shoot a large number of feathered arrows into the city, killing and wounding a large number of enemy troops.
Xia Canglang saw that the city was tight, and hurriedly glanced at his second brother.
"Legion, follow me to the city!" Xia Kongtong understood, dismounted, and led his subordinates to brave the rain of arrows and rush to the city. Xia Kongtong tied the heavy sword behind him, took the lead, went up the ladder, and soon rushed to the head of the city, his strength was strong, and his subordinates were the rare elite of Kasha, and he immediately suppressed the defenders of Beiyan.
Jiang Lang, who was covered in blood, saw Xia Kongtong's strength and knew that he was not his opponent, so he shook a shot, turned around and left, Xia Kongtong smiled, and chased after him with a heavy sword. The two chased from the head of the city to the bottom of the city, entered the streets of the city, Jiang Lang relied on the familiar environment, took Xia Kongtong to cross left and right between the lanes, and finally entered an empty building, Xia Kongtong hesitated slightly, but then rushed in. The building was a mess, littered with shelves and books, and it looked like it was a library.
"Now look where you're going!" Xia Kongtong carefully observed the surrounding environment and found no traces of the living, so he looked at Jiang Lang's back and showed a cruel smile. He is second only to his eldest brother in strength in the Kasha army, and he is ready to deal with a small military marshal.
"Who said I was going to run away?" Jiang Lang slowly turned around, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Oh, is there anyone else in this library?" Xia Kongtong lifted his heavy sword and strode towards Jiang Lang. In the battle just now, he noticed that this person had a lot of status in the Beiyan military, so he planned to kill the other party, and then return to the city with the other party's head, which would definitely surprise the people of Beiyan.
"Huh?" Xia Kongtong had just taken a few steps when he suddenly found two figures in the scattered corners. He stopped suddenly, a hint of surprise.
I've already explored this place just now, and I obviously didn't find any trace of anyone, so where did these two people come from?
The person in front of him was dressed in black and wore a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes.
But when Xia Kongtong saw those gray-white, lifeless eyes, the scene under the night suddenly appeared in his mind.
It's them!
A fierce panic appeared on his face, and his legs retreated sharply, intending to rush out of the door. At this moment, a strong wind came from behind him without warning......
The steamboat dropped thunderbolts one by one in the army, and after a while, tens of thousands of troops lost their ability to fight, but the guards regiment at the head of the city still had a clear advantage, and under their sharp attacks, the soldiers of Beiyan suffered heavy losses.
Suddenly, a tidal wave of shouts came from behind the siege army, which made Xia Canglang's face change. For he could tell that the noisy shouts were coming from the Kasha soldiers.
Worst! He suddenly realized that it was the southern garrison that was fleeing.
The third brother Xia Juechen's ability to control troops is still slightly inferior after all.
Xia Canglang couldn't help but let out a light sigh, if the third brother could hold on for another half a day, maybe the situation would be very different. But the truth is not as good as it should be.
Just as he was about to give an order to Zheng Yun, who was in charge of the banner, he suddenly found that on the opposite side of the city, a bamboo pole was erected, and a human head with round eyes hanging from it.
Second Brother!!
