Chapter 223: A suffocating attack
"General, several five hundred lords have already led people to attack the city wall, and now they are fighting with the Yellow Turban Thieves on the city wall, should we continue to send troops over to support?" A lieutenant general beside Zang Ba suggested.
“......”
Zang Ba's eyes were like torches, and he saw the battle on the city wall, and in less than a quarter of an hour after the official siege of the city, he had already been taken first, and the generals of the defending army should be very panicked. After thinking for a moment, Zang Ba made up his mind and said, "Pass on my military order, continue to send two thousand elite troops of the Steel Thorn Legion, and be sure to bite this piece of meat for me." ”
"Yes, General." When the adjutant received the order, he immediately asked the herald to convey the order.
Soon, there were two thousand eighth-order sword soldiers holding shields from the steel thorn army and quickly marched towards Gaoyou County, climbing along two of the three sections of the city wall that had been occupied by the three thousand-order seventh-order soldiers, and since there were no defenders above the city wall, the two thousand eighth-order soldiers climbed the city wall without any pressure. At this moment, the Mountain God Guild not only failed to reoccupy the three sections of the city wall, but lost them faster, and the three sections of the city wall were in great danger of being connected together.
At this time, the president of the Mountain God Guild couldn't take care of it so much, if it was said that when the expeditionary force was using medium-sized catapults to project consumption at the beginning, he sent all the high-level soldiers used on the city wall back to the city, leaving only a group of generals and soldiers of no more than five orders to defend the city, because he believed that the other party's Flying City Lord would not send his own soldiers to gnaw hard bones at the beginning, and he would also send soldiers of low rank to consume and test first, and only after the test would they send the main force.
Who knows that Zang Ba is not a person who plays cards according to common sense, his position is only two miles away from the city wall, and he is an emperor-level general, although he can't see clearly what the defenders in the city look like, but the strength of the defenders can always be seen a little. Zang Ba observed that the defenders on the city wall were not very well defended, and judged that they should only be fourth- and fifth-order soldiers, so he decisively sent three thousand seventh-order soldiers and six special-level generals.
And Zang Ba's gamble this time, it is obvious that he was right, the Mountain God Guild suffered a big loss for his carelessness, without the restraint of the corresponding rank soldiers, the fourth and fifth order soldiers are the opponents of the seventh order soldiers, this gap is being torn up more and more, and even many junior and intermediate generals have died at this time, losing many middle-level officers.
The chairman was in a hurry, so he had to send all the seventh-order soldiers that his subordinates could send. They had already made a mistake once, and if they did it again, it would be very difficult for them to take the walls back. And I heard that the expeditionary force sent several special-grade generals this time, and the Mountain God Guild only has a total of fourteen special-grade generals, except for the other three city walls, at least two special-grade generals must be sent over, and only eight special-level generals can stay on the east city wall, plus some middle and high-level generals, they should be able to hold it.
In this way, things become very interesting, Zang Ba has just reinforced two thousand eighth-order soldiers and ten special generals, and the Mountain God Guild has also taken out all the hole cards to recapture the city wall. When the two thousand eighth-order soldiers climbed the city wall, the seventh-order soldiers of the Mountain God Guild also arrived, and when they fought against the seventh-order soldiers of Flying Sky City, although the overall strength was still a lot weaker, at least it was not as one-sided as the fourth- and fifth-order soldiers, and it still had a certain combat effectiveness. Moreover, the special generals of the Mountain God Guild arrived, and with the cooperation of the middle and senior generals, the six special generals of Flying Sky City were faintly unable to resist, and the Steel Thorn Legion suffered some casualties.
However, the width of the city wall is not large, and the soldiers cannot be deployed to fight, and often a few generals are at the forefront, which can slow down the soldiers' attacks. And because of the battle between the super-level generals, even if the intermediate generals or senior generals intervene in it, there is a possibility of being killed in seconds, especially under the luxury equipment of the generals of Feitian City, their own generals may not be able to break through the defense of the obsidian armor, but they will be killed by a knife, and the soldiers dare to approach to add chaos and seek death.
In this way, dragged by the special generals of Flying Sky City, the seventh-order soldiers of the Steel Thorn Legion quickly retreated and contracted, and the generals and soldiers of the Mountain God Guild naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, even if the seventh-order soldiers of the Mountain God Guild would have unnecessary casualties, they would risk their lives to break through the past and not give the expeditionary force a chance to breathe.
However, the retreat of the Steel Spike Legion was not a retreat, but to give more space to the robes in the rear. I saw the seventh-order soldiers of the Steel Thorn Legion retreat and approached both sides of the female wall, leaving a place in the middle, and a group of soldiers with the same equipment as the seventh-order soldiers were slowly advancing, but the momentum on their bodies was not only twice as strong as the seventh-order soldiers.
In the main legion of Feitian City, generally the seventh-order soldiers are ordinary legion members, and the eighth-order soldiers are elite troops, and if there are ninth-order soldiers in the future, they are the existence of the legion commander's personal guards, short soldiers, or ace troops. So what appeared in front of him was the elite unit of the Steel Thorn Legion, the eighth-order sword soldier.
Due to the suppression of the ranks, the people of the Mountain God Guild all sensed that something was wrong, and the enemy in front of them was not a little stronger than them. You must know that those who can be stronger than the seventh-order soldiers are most likely the eighth-order soldiers, and fighting against the eighth-order soldiers in this narrow place, each of them has no bottom in their hearts.
In the real world, there will be millions of people fighting against each other, which is basically impossible to see in real life, on the one hand, the system allows the use of crowd tactics, no matter how strong the soldiers or generals are, there will always be a time when their physical strength is exhausted, and that is when they are captured and captured. But on the other hand, this reflects the serious polarization of combat classes in the game, where an eighth-order soldier can be invincible against dozens of fourth-order soldiers, and the difference in strength is both ridiculous and reasonable.
The eighth-order soldiers are not what the Mountain God Guild is afraid of, even if the eighth-order soldiers are much stronger than the seventh-order soldiers, they can't be used on the city wall, as long as they defend with all their strength and wait for the generals to break through, there is still a chance to defeat the eighth-order soldiers. But there are more than eighth-order soldiers in Flying Sky City, this time there are ten special-grade generals who followed the eighth-order soldiers to the city wall, plus the previous six five hundred main special-grade generals, a total of sixteen special-grade generals, more than the super-level generals of the entire Mountain God Guild, and now there are only eight special-level generals on the eastern city wall...
The walls are narrow, and there are not many soldiers who can fight at one time, but the addition of generals is enough to have a great impact on the battle situation. Originally, he was a besieged military general of Feitian City, but with the addition of his own special generals, he immediately turned defense into offense, hoping to retain the special generals of the Mountain God Guild. But people are not stupid, especially some middle and high-level generals, seeing that the situation is not right, immediately retreat for their super-level generals to retreat.
As soon as the defenders' special generals left, the soldiers and generals who stayed behind suffered and were slaughtered by the generals of Flying City, not only failed to recapture the city walls, but also lost more high-ranking soldiers.
The leader of the Mountain God Guild is dripping blood, although most of these seventh-order soldiers are during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the reinforcements unique to the Yellow Turban camp will automatically disappear after the Yellow Turban Rebellion ends. But now it's only mid-March, and there is still half a year before the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Mountain God Guild still has a lot to do, and the president doesn't want to put the few high-level soldiers in the guild under the sword of the opponent's eighth-order soldiers and special generals.
But now it's not so easy to retreat, the three sections of the city wall that the expeditionary force has just begun to attack have all been captured, and the eighth-order soldiers joined the battlefield to connect them, that is, the entire eastern city wall, a part of the middle was captured, and at the same time, the defenders were divided into two, which seemed to be a front and back attack, but in fact, it could not be echoed.
On the one hand, the city wall is fighting, and the attack under the city has not stopped, originally because of the problem of insufficient manpower, it failed to fully attack the eastern city wall, but now it has taken a large section of the city wall, and half of the arrows are still left in the archer quiver of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, and the physical strength is still there, and it can continue to suppress the defenders of other city walls. Except for the 4,000 7th-order archers who followed and climbed the city wall and shot arrows into the city to prevent the opponent from sending archers, the remaining 6,000 people continued to assist the player in attacking the city.
