Chapter 247: The Bloody Battle at Jiayuguan (6)

……

For a while, the Explosive Bear Army was beaten and retreated. The momentum that had just rushed into the urn city was suddenly pinched away. My heart is cold, what kind of monster is it? They saw it with their own eyes. As they charged one of the two nearest commanders, they slashed through the brass mask's armor and even sliced into its body. But the bronze mask didn't seem to react at all, and stabbed the commander to death with a single shot, and continued to fight, without a single trace of blood coming out of his body.

Naturally, the Explosive Bear Army didn't know. But Zhao Zhe, who was watching this scene from the city tower, knew that this was one of his precious armies, the puppet army. I have spent countless resources, money, and even manpower and material resources. Finally, on the eve of the decisive battle, Tuo Jin's guy sent all the refined puppets to the front line. This time on the front line of Jiayuguan, the number of ironclad corpses that can fight is a total of eight thousand, this kind of ironclad corpse can fight against the seven-grade master and has a slight advantage, the body's defense is extremely strong, and after being equipped with the iron armor, its role in the battle array is far more than an ordinary seven-grade master. They have a lot of strength, and after putting on the iron armor, it hardly affects much mobility. And their only drawback is that they are not flexible enough, but in this kind of crowded battlefield, it makes little sense to be flexible or not. can stab people vigorously, Zhao Zhe is satisfied.

The number of bronze armored corpses has never been full, and up to now 800 have been refined. This is already the limit, the original so-called refining of 1,200 bodies, Tuo Jin planned to refine it in two years. Now that he is in a hurry, there can be eight hundred, Zhao Zhe is already very satisfied, it can be seen that Tuo Jin is not only not lazy during this time, but is working hard.

Because the number of silver armor corpses was not large, Tuo Jin refined all of them, a total of about 100 corpses.

The golden armor corpse, the material is seriously scarce. And without Zhao Zhe's personal ignition, Tuo Jin did not dare to refine it privately. Suo put all his energy into other varieties of puppet corpses. But in Zhao Zhe's hands, there are ten of them, which is barely enough. This is not to blame Tuo Jin, although the puppet corpse is powerful, the materials required are really quite perverted. There wasn't that much time for him to splurge.

Zhao Zhe also sent the ten golden armor corpses to the urn city and the inner city entrance to stand by. Although the total number of all puppet armies is less than 10,000. But Zhao Zhe believes that such an elite army that is not afraid of death will play a far greater role in the city than in the field battlefield. Because here, because the site is too small, the puppet army is not afraid of being besieged at all.

And fighting against the same number of troops, the only thing the puppet army has to fear in the world is the Tiger Tooth Army and the Golden Eagle Army. In fact, if Zhao Zhe's 1,000 Huya Army were to fight against this puppet army of less than 10,000, God knows what the outcome would be. Those terrifying guys who were not afraid of death, especially the ten golden armored corpses, and even the Grandmaster Tiger Tooth Soldiers, were very afraid.

The thousands of explosive bear infantry who rushed in were defeated by the puppet army, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and retreating beyond the city gates. For the first time in their lives, they were forced out by almost the same number of people from the other side. After forcing the Explosive Bear Army back, the puppet army did not pursue it, but set up a spear pocket array inside the city gate. Any infantry who dares to rush in will enjoy the spears of the puppet army poking in all directions.

As the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, at this juncture. It is the place where the master really shows his bravery. In addition, ten ballistae were placed in the urn city, and the crossbow arrows as thick as the arms were aimed at the entrance of the city gate. The soldier in control of the ballista is shooting crossbow arrows outward. The power of the ballista was so amazing that when an arrow was fired, it carried a whistling sound in the air. The infantry at the gate of the city couldn't dodge, and was hit by the ballista, like a sugar gourd, and the kinetic energy was depleted after penetrating several people.

A broken city gate at the end of the city turned out to be a place of death. Whoever enters dies. Those bear soldiers had to watch Da Zhao's ordinary infantry swagger into the urn city and clean up the scorched battlefield. By the way, he began to be very annoying again, digging a hole in the inner side of the city gate. Any archer who dared to attack the infantry would be fired at by the ballista without mercy.

Not only that, but they quit after they went out. The crossbowmen on the city gates, who were not vegetarians, shot desperately downward.

The dragon lancers who have taken a little rest and recuperation, plus some who have recovered from minor injuries and serious injuries. It was also divided into two groups and began to join the groups led by the Huya Army. Due to the limited number of dragon pikemen for the time being, and the losses were heavy. Each group can only be divided into about 50 people. But Rao was so, with each group of fifty dragon spearmen joined. The ability to bombard under the walls has been greatly increased.

What kind of guys are the dragon spearmen, the power and range of the exquisite spears they use far exceed those ordinary bows and arrows, crossbows, miscellaneous firearms and the like. For a time, there were still master infantry who could rush to the city wall. But with the advent of the Dragonlancers, the infantry on the city walls was simply used as an ornament. Due to the tragic death of many robes in this war, the dragon spear army at this time was particularly calm and terrifying. The sniper ability seems to have been qualitatively improved by several vicious battles, and when shooting, he is exceptionally calm and accurate.

The coalition forces were so desperate to rush and kill, and the momentum was naturally earth-shattering. However, the number of casualties, as well as the speed at which they were killed, were staggering. If it continues at this rate, the millions of coalition troops will be consumed one step earlier than the garrison soldiers of Great Zhao.

However, the reason why the coalition forces did this was to fill the barrier at the city gate. This time, there was no option to push the ground in full. Instead, the one-mile-wide area in the middle of Jiayuguan was desperately cleared, and the total obstacle area was actually only four miles. When the coalition forces are in a full-scale assault and launch a general offensive. It has already been decided to open a battle path.

Densely packed with people, the entire area that needs to be cleared of obstacles. At the same time, it doesn't take an hour to sweep the entire area flat.

In fact, it was at the time when the puppet army forced the Bear Burst Army out of the city gates. The coalition forces laid a flat passage one mile wide and several miles long in front of Jiayu Pass. The elephant soldiers of the coalition army finally have a place to use. was killed by Zhao Zhe 10,000 elephants, tens of thousands of elephant soldiers. The coalition army also had at least 60,000 elephant cavalry and 30,000 empty elephants.

At the sound of the allied horns, all the infantry in the middle of Jiayuguan gave way. Ten elephants, whose tails were tied with ropes by the elephants, were driven to the city gates by the elephants. Batch by batch, and a series of shocks.

The elephant herd is like a torrent. began to attack Jiayuguan. The heavy pace shook the earth and made the earth tremble. The leading ones, because of the fire behind their buttocks, sprinted into the city gate as fast as they could. One stumbles and falls into a hole, and the presence of spikes will not survive. The rest of the elephants stepped on the carcasses of their companions and continued to sprint forward. Several ironclad corpses that tried to block the giant elephant were knocked into the air. The ballista soldier panicked and started the ballista. Sharp crossbow bolts plunged into the giant elephant's body.

But the vitality of the giant elephant is extremely powerful and terrifying. The badly wounded giant elephant, with a heart-rending roar, continued to charge. Two crossbowmen were trampled to death, and several ballistae were broken before falling heavily to the ground. But the elephants, one after another, rushed into the gates. Although the puppet army has the ability to take out elephants. But attacking in such a narrow place, the number of casualties will not be small.

The giant elephant that ran desperately, trampled and collided. The heavy and large body, when it hit the city wall, even the walls were slammed and trembled.

Underestimating these elephants, Zhao Zhe's face also became a little unsightly. If it is a war in the field, his own tiger tooth soldiers may not be able to block the impact of thousands of elephant soldiers. And the 1,000 puppet army guarding the urn city, although they killed the war elephants that rushed in one by one. But the elephants sprinted in circles desperately, even if they were injured. The puppet army's casualties skyrocketed.

Tuo Jin, who was in charge of commanding those ordinary puppet armies, hurriedly let the puppet army retreat, especially some precious bronze armor and silver armor. Death is an extremely tragic thing.

Yang Dingshan's face also became a little bad, if he allowed this group of elephant soldiers to storm the gate of the urn city, it would be easy to be broken. had to immediately order that the gate of the urn city be sealed. The so-called sealing is a real and complete sealing. At this time, he mobilized some people in the martial arts. With their great strength, they piled up huge stones behind the gate of the urn city, and were willing not to let others enter or leave. Elephants cannot be allowed to rush in. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy.

Fortunately, when Jiayuguan was built, the labor and materials were luxurious. Let the war elephants collide, but they only tremble slightly. After the puppets had climbed and retreated from the walls, the archers began to shoot at the elephants that had run into the city. And under the command of Tuo Jin, the puppet army also began to change their tactics. Instead, short spears were used, which were projected on the city walls.

One of the two major characteristics of the puppet army is that it is physically strong and not afraid of death. Second, it is infinitely powerful. The short spear that was thrown was fast and fast. Even thick-skinned war elephants were pierced hard.

Elephants are precious and destroy the puppet army inside the city gates. The coalition forces were also reluctant to take the war elephant so attrition. Otherwise, in the future, what will be used to fight field battles? Because the road has been cleared, it is a series of siege vehicles, catapults, ladders, and well railings that have been pushed to the gate of Jiayuguan City one after another. Although he was knocked out a lot by Da Zhao's exquisite cannon on the way, it was still approaching in a steady stream.

Catapults took the lead in attacking, and huge boulders were thrown by the catapults. Drawing an arc, it smashed heavily into the city wall of Jiayuguan. Some boulders landed on the wall, smashing a small crater into it. Others, on the other hand, fall on the city wall, often taking away the soldier's surname.
