Chapter 118: Offensive and defensive tug-of-war
"Shield soldiers, block the first wave of attacks, the pikemen and all classes behind, remember your duties, and let the Kasians enjoy the blades of our Western Army!"
Murong Ziyan shouted loudly, so that all the soldiers of the Western Army could hear it.
For war, her words are always particularly motivating and can make soldiers more enthusiastic and belligerent.
No one responded to Murong Ziyan's words, or rather, no one answered her with their mouths, they had to answer Murong Ziyan with the war knife in their hands and their actions, victory was the best answer!
"Shield array, press the enemy back and squeeze them into the water!"
Due to the ballista, the role of crossbow arrows is also greater than that of bows and arrows, so the Western army is not arranging archers to go to the shore for defense, and if there are excess arrows, it is better to put them on the ballista.
The first group of Cassias rushed forward, but the ranks were a little sparse. Now that the battle has just begun, the Western Army's crossbow arrows and fireballs and other resources are sufficient, so the first batch of small boats that rushed over naturally suffered the most blows, and the losses were extremely heavy, and the first batch of small boats that could safely rush to the shore were less than one-third of the original.
Thousands of Kasians jumped out of the boat and rushed towards the shield of the Western Army, they themselves were ready to die, as the vanguard, they had to have the consciousness of death, since they were arranged in this way, then use their bodies to create some opportunities for their comrades behind, at least they can't die in vain.
But the shield array of the Western Army is not so easy to deal with, how many losses they have suffered in front of the shield array, and they themselves know very well that a shield array like this, unless there are heavy armored cavalry, or an absolute advantage in numbers, can use the number of people to kill them, otherwise it is difficult to break, the Northern Mirror Legion also suffered a big loss in front of the shield array, so that most of their cavalry died in front of the shield array, so that the battle behind became extremely passive, leading to the final defeat.
"Boom!"
The two teams finally collided fiercely, although the shield array was not easy to deal with, but the Kasians did not admit defeat so easily, even if they died in battle, they could not let the Western Army win so comfortably.
Spears stabbed through the cracks in the shield, like a serpent, taking the lives of countless Kasians who tried to get close to the shield and break through it.
Not to be outdone, the Kasians knew that their attack would not have much effect on the shield array, so they simply used the weapons in their hands as throwing weapons, and threw them fiercely towards the place where the number of Western troops was gathered. After they had no weapons in their hands, they either found a way to pick up the weapons of their comrades who died tragically and continued to fight, or they threw themselves on the shield, holding on to the shield to the death, so that their bodies could block those gaps, so that the comrades behind them could rush in and cause damage.
Now the Kasians were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, but they were able to hold out tenaciously until the second group of Kasians landed.
When the second group of Cassians landed, the first group of Kasians had already been killed and wounded, but the Western Army also had no time to rest, and was about to face the Casians who rushed madly and continued to fight to the death.
Unlike the first batch of more than 1,000 people, the second group of Cassia people who landed on the shore was much more than the first batch, and there were about six or seven thousand people in the past, and this time it seemed that it would take some more time to eat them all, but the Cassia people in the back continued to land and replenish them, so it would be very difficult to fight.
There is no way out, only a fight to the death!
Behind them are their relatives and friends, if they retreat, then they will suffer, and the Kasians are not really that weak, just because they are not good at water warfare, they will be blocked here by the Western Army with the advantage of Longjiang. If they are allowed to cross the river, 100,000 Kasia people will be a huge test for the Western Army, after all, it is impossible to go as smoothly as the North Mirror every time, as long as there is a slight mistake, then the ending may be a little unacceptable.
The Kasians rushed up like a tidal wave, slamming into the shield array of the Western Army. This charge, due to the increase in numbers, made the shield array of the Western Army seem to be a little loose, and the Kasians also took advantage of the situation to increase the intensity of the impact, so that the Western Army began to suffer more casualties.
Everyone knows that the tug-of-war of attrition has begun. The Western Army was still mainly defensive, forming a line of defense one by one, because they had to hold the ground under their feet, so as not to let the Cassians kill behind and affect the projectile of catapults. And now that the Kasians have attacked, the ballistae have been forced to withdraw to the rear of the war, and they have not played such a big role.
This will create a vicious circle, the ballista retreats, just catapults, and the killing of the Cassia people who are approaching the river and want to land will be greatly weakened, and more and more Cassia people will be able to land, and the defense line of the Western Army will be more critical at that time.
"Commander, it's a bit of a loss for us to fight like this, although their casualties will be greater, even twice as large as ours, but the Kasians have a numerical advantage, so they fight hard, and some can't afford to be injured!"
Zhao Hu slashed down a Kasia soldier with a knife, and said to Murong Ziyan, who was directing the sergeant to remedy the shield array behind him. Although Yun Ye is the general of the Western Army and holds the real power of the Western Army, Murong Ziyan is the commander of the Western Army, the nominal supreme commander, and when Yun Ye is not there, she is naturally the commander of the entire Western Army.
It is not very good to fight like this, at least it is not in line with the purpose of Yunye's original stay, and it is not in line with the style of the Western Army.
"I already had a plan in my heart, but it's not time yet, and when the time comes, I'll let you kill the enemy happily!"
Murong Ziyan said in a deep voice, the cavalry led by Yue Zhan had already returned to the barracks, and now it is estimated that they have finished breakfast, and if they let them rest for a while, it is time for the Kasians to drink some water.
Drink plenty of water, it's good for your body, especially in the morning!
An offensive and defensive tug-of-war is about to turn into an unexpected battle!
