Chapter 330: Battle of Inoue Fortress (2)
Although these oils are not as powerful as oil, they should not be underestimated. Looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Empire who were constantly busy on the city wall, the corners of Lao Jiu's mouth only had a mocking smile. Because in the battle plan designed by Lao Jiu, their approach is almost useless!
On the morning of March 8, on the walls of Inoue Fortress, the tired guards were preparing to change their guards. The battle of the attack on Inoue Fortress finally officially kicked off under the order of the Ma army.
"Attack!" Under the orders of the Ma army, the three-way army, under the cover of the car shield, began to press towards the Inoue fortress step by step. At this time, after the car shield, there was no longer a shield soldier who needed to build a road, but a neat Qin crossbow phalanx.
Above the fortress, the soldiers of the Empire who watched all this from a distance did not know what the Empire was playing. Because before this, there was no combat video of the Qin crossbow battle array that flowed out, plus these crossbowmen were all equipped with space rings.
From a distance, it was a group of bare-handed warriors, marching forward in a phalanx. This scene really blinded the enemy, so they could only wait and see what happened, trying to respond to the changes with the same. In this way, they are doomed to tragedy!
"Attack! Attack! Attack! "When the crossbowmen reached a certain distance, they let the rear sit on the ground, and then the whole army of freedom was heard, and there was a deafening sound of killing. When the leader of the enemy army on the fortress saw the Qin crossbow that appeared in an instant, his whole face changed greatly!
"Defense! Defend with all your might! "I have to say that he still has some knowledge, and it seems that he still knows a little about the ancient wars in China. It was recognized at a glance that this was the most famous crossbow array during the Qin Dynasty, and it was also the most lethal army in history.
At this time, the defenders on the fortress also reacted and began to take refuge through the battlements above the city wall. And all the soldiers began to look for cover, and the shield soldiers began to move forward, forming a line of defense.
"Attack...... With an order, ...... sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the entire sky darkened, and then countless arrows rained down on the fortress. For trained crossbowmen, there are strict rules about the direction of their attacks.
Because the power of the crossbow array's attack does not lie in its accuracy, but in its terrifying all-round coverage! From the top of the fortress to the kilometer behind the fortress, all of them were covered by the attacks of the Qin crossbow.
Especially this kind of projectile of Qin crossbow, it is simply equivalent to a rain of arrows in the sky. What's even more terrifying is that the power of these arrow rains can penetrate the top gold equipment. In this way, the defenders of the empire on which the sun never sets directly suffered heavy casualties.
Just the first wave of attacks made the reserve army behind the fortress have to withdraw from the range of crossbow arrows, and the defenders on the city walls also have to seek cover, and they don't even dare to come out!
"Knock knock...... Attack! Attack! Attack! As the drum of the neat attack sounded, the momentum of the Loose Legion directly began to attack the fortress. At the same time, the shield of the car in front was directly withdrawn and put away, and the shield soldiers took the lead, first heading towards the city wall.
With the crossbowmen's uninterrupted projectiles, the defenders of Inoue Fortress were directly completely suppressed. This made the shield soldiers who took the lead more boldly attacked. Groups of warriors, following the bed crossbow bolts nailed to the city wall, quickly climbed towards the top of the city wall.
There were quite a few defenders on the fortress, and they were anxious to take a look at the current situation, but as soon as they appeared, they were directly pierced through the head by the crossbow arrow falling overhead. As the army of the Empire climbed the city wall, the attack range of the crossbow array was neatly pushed back by three meters.
The control of this area is the basis of peacetime training, in order to make room for the Loose Legion to fight. On the city wall, the warriors who had not yet reacted were immediately hunted mercilessly.
Those oil pots that had been erected had not yet played their due role, and they were directly overturned by the free army and fell towards the back of the city wall. As more and more warriors climbed the city wall, the attack range of the Qin crossbow had also fully fallen to the back of the city wall, directly blocking the army support of the Sun Never Setting Empire.
Having lost the suppression above the city walls, the gates of the fortress were quickly broken open by the free-spirited army. Under the leadership of Gao Lang, hundreds of thousands of Predator soldiers began to drive straight in. There is a wall more than 100 meters high, and behind the city wall, there will be a certain blind spot for attack.
And these blind spots are the best places to hide from the army where the sun never sets. Now that the Predator Legion has entered, it has directly started a hand-to-hand fight with these soldiers who never set the sun. In this kind of fight of hundreds of thousands of people, the power of the individual seems to be a little small.
Lao Jiu stood on the top of the mountain, observing the battle situation below, if nothing else, it was only a matter of time before he took the Inoue Fortress. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Empire is on average higher than that of the Empire.
After achieving absolute superiority, in just one morning, the army of the Easy Empire successfully seized the fortress of Inoue. The helpless army of the Empire, on which the sun never sets, began to retreat towards the south.
Lao Jiu didn't want these people to go back to support Zhumuzui, so he sent the three major legions to pursue the victory, mobilized the God of War Legion, came to receive the Inoue Fortress, and cleaned up the battlefield. Then, Lao Jiu began to contact the naval combat commander for the first time.
The Canglong fleet of the Easy Empire was led by Zhao Hao himself. The Dongsheng fleet of Huaxia was served by Li Sheng, the commander of the navy of Huaxia. In reality, Li Sheng is the commander of the navy, a middle-aged man in his forties, who still has rich experience in naval warfare.
"Hello General Li, I don't know what happened to General Li in the West Sea?" As soon as the video was connected, Lao Jiu asked straight to the point.
"At present, they are still playing a game of cat and mouse with the fleet of the sunset, and they have been avoiding the battle, as if they want to drag us down!" Li Sheng sighed with emotion, and then said, "I wonder what Xiaoyou's plans are next?" ”
"Cooperate with you to take Xizhou and the two major ports of Kawamoto first!" Lao Jiu said casually, "The Inoue fortress is lost, and it's time for the ports along the road to be in our hands, so that we can take every step of the way!" ”
"Oh? I didn't expect that in just three days, Xiaoyou took the Inoue Fortress? I wonder how the battle went? Li Sheng seemed taken aback, and then asked seriously.
"At present, thousands of soldiers have died on our side and tens of thousands have been wounded. In this battle for the fortress, nearly 500,000 soldiers who never set the sun were killed, and more than 1 million were fleeing southward. Lao Jiu thought about it for a while, but decided to tell him the truth.
"What? Thousands of people died to take the fortress of Inoue? And annihilated more than 500,000 enemies? You kid is bragging about B, right? Li Sheng shouted in disbelief, hearing Lao Jiu say this, he almost bit his tongue.
"How can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing, at present, the most important thing for us is to take the ports along the coast, so that we can stop the retreating million-strong army. If we let this million troops withdraw to Zhumuzui, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us. Lao Jiu looked at him and said seriously.
"There is no problem on our side, the fleet of Xizhou Port has basically been abolished, and only one detachment can be taken, and Kawamoto Port is a little more troublesome." Li Sheng said with a frown.
"But in three days, we only need three days, and we will definitely be able to take the port of Benchuan. I just don't know what the current situation of your Canglong fleet is, and how long will it take for the two main ports on the east coast? ”
"Don't worry about the two ports on the east coast, the Sun Never Sets Empire doesn't know about the existence of the Canglong Fleet at present. Their main sea forces were all on the west coast. Lao Jiu looked at him and said, "So I'm going to wait for you to take Kawamoto Port and directly attack Zhumuzui." ”
"If the Sun Never Sets Empire doesn't know about the Canglong Fleet, that's unlikely, right?" Li Sheng frowned and said, "I don't want to let us lose a lot because of your arrogance!" ”
"Otherwise." Lao Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I asked the Canglong fleet to attack the port of Shandao in the southeast, and let the army land there." Then the Canglong fleet was divided into three routes, all the way north to capture Zhenlong Port, all the way to stay in Shandao Port, and the last way to the south to contain Zhumuzui! ”
In this way, the soldiers who landed at Yamado Port and Zhenlong Port could block the Sunset Army that fled south. With our pursuing troops, form a front and rear flanking attack. If the situation is grasped well, it is entirely possible to completely annihilate the large forces of the empire on which the sun never sets. ”
"I'm in favor of this approach, after all, it's safer, and even if something happens, we can deal with it at any time!" Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said.
"Okay, you act now, I will order the Canglong Fleet to immediately carry out the mission, and strive to cut off the north of Zhumuzui and the Sunset Empire within three days." Lao Jiu said to him.
After Lao Jiu and Li Sheng broke off the video, they contacted Zhao Hao as soon as possible, and then asked him to divide into three ways and go directly to the three major ports. Two of the fleets launched a sneak attack on the port of Shandao on the east coast and the port of Zhenlong, while the last fleet stopped in the waters outside Zhumuzui to contain the fleet of Zhumuzui and prevent them from going north to support.
In order to allow the fleet to land successfully, and then cooperate with the three major corps to besiege the troops fleeing south without setting sunset. The three main armies of the Empire were not so hasty in their pursuit of the defeated army on which the sun never set.
The two sides seem to have a tacit understanding, fighting and fleeing. On the side of the Easy Army, it was to buy time for the southern fighters to land. The army on which the sun never sets is to gather the momentum of the army, and wants to find the right opportunity to fight back and see if it can recapture the Inoue fortress.
In this way, the two sides made their own calculations, and fought for three days three hundred miles south of the Inoue fortress, and finally the army was defeated again, and directly retreated into the Jinbei Economic Zone, and began to defend the Jinbei City.
