Chapter 80: The Battle of Toyosu (2)
The value of a Fengzhou City is much greater than that of Su Pohan, and Qin Fan naturally will not let it go, not to mention that this is also part of the Star Dragon Plan.
Qin Fan's troops are basically cavalry-based, only Redwood County has 20,000 infantry, and the soldiers and horses in the rest of the towns Qin Fan dare not move without authorization, and now there are too many small alliances around, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by surprise.
"In this way, the battle must be settled outside the city, and the cavalry siege losses will be very large......"
Qin Fan thought about it carefully and decided to push it forcibly! It was chosen after the Backfire Alliance began to attack the city.
He first asked Xiao Xie to lead 10,000 sixth-order golden fire cavalry as the vanguard and explore the point first, and then Han Feng and Li Ming led 15,000 spearmen and 5,000 sword and shield soldiers to set off, and Redwood County left 5,000 archers to defend with twin crossbow arrows.
As for the 200,000 cavalry, they will not move, anyway, they can be killed within three hours of 120 miles.
At noon two days later, the strength of the backfire increased again, reaching 200,000 people, and as soon as the remaining troops arrived, the army directly began to attack the city, and at this time Qin Fan's army was less than twenty miles away from Fengzhou City.
The gate of Fengzhou is three zhang three high, all of them are built with a stone base, it is extremely hard, and the gate is wrapped with copper skin, which is really hard. The two-foot-wide walls were littered with trebuchets and bed crossbows, and countless fifth-order archers were waiting for them.
In the wilderness outside the south gate, the 200,000-strong army was overwhelmed, and all the players rode their war horses in several columns to look at the city gate, and there were two or three thousand people.
In the middle, a young man wearing silver armor and a silver helmet rode on a sturdy horse and looked at the city of Toyosu in front of him, slowly turned off the communication panel, drew a bronze sword from his waist and shouted in the direction of the gate: "Siege!" ”
"Kill!"
There was an earth-shattering shout of killing in the wilderness, and 50,000 sword and shield soldiers, 30,000 spearmen, and 20,000 archers launched an attack on Toyosu City.
Hundreds of catapults on the city wall smashed huge stones the size of millstones out of the city, smashing the soldiers who charged intensively all over the body, followed by huge arrows the thickness of the forearm, like a string of sugar gourds, strung two or three people together, and even were stuck upside down on the ground.
When the forward sword and shield soldiers reached twenty or fifty meters, the condescending archers of the golden soldiers defending the city launched a powerful attack, and a large rain of arrows fell, killing and wounding countless people in an instant.
However, this situation did not last long, and after the siege force of 20,000 archers was in place, the two sides began to suppress each other from a distance.
"Siege wood!"
Under the command of the commander of the rear army, a siege tree with a thickness of almost one meter and a length of twenty meters emerged from under the shield of the sword and shield soldiers. The siege tree slammed into the gate with a bang under the lifting of hundreds of people, and the defenders behind the gate were already in their throats at this moment.
Under the city wall, hundreds of ten-meter single ladders were being erected on the city wall, and the sword and shield soldiers were desperately climbing up against the stone rolling wooden arrows, and the ladders were constantly pushed away from the wall and fell outward.
Xiang Tianlei watched the fierce battle under the city, opened the alliance channel and shouted: "Everyone should not be afraid of attrition!" Give me a heap of men, and heap them up to the head of the city! As long as the city of Toyosu is captured, the money and people will come back soon! ”
With four times the strength of the enemy army, it was only a matter of time before he captured the city of Toyosu, and as for how many people were sacrificed, he didn't care, anyway, it would be recovered in a few days.
Just when the battle under the city was in full swing, Xiao Xie's 10,000 golden fire cavalry collided headlong with the more than 40,000 infantry of the Chiba Alliance who were guarding the outskirts of the city outside the West Gate.
"All repeaters ready!"
At a distance of three hundred meters, the Golden Fire Cavalry took down its signature automatic repeater, and before Hua Wuxin and the other players could hear the warning of their own sentry cavalry, they felt the ground tremble.
"Sword and shield soldiers in formation! Archers ready! Hua Wuxin's group hurriedly commanded on the alliance channel, the sword and shield soldiers had just lined up in formation, and the crossbow arrows of the Golden Fire Cavalry arrived, and 100,000 sharp crossbow arrows instantly covered half of Hua Wuxin's men and horses, and at the same time, the 10,000 archers of the Chiba Alliance also launched a counterattack.
The arrows of both sides staggered in the air, crackling and falling continuously, but the results of the damage were very different. Relying on their fast horse speed and heavy red armor, the Golden Fire Cavalry withstood most of the arrows, and only a hundred cavalry were shot to the ground. In the face of the crossbow arrows and arrows of the sixth-order golden fire cavalry like a rainstorm, not only the spearmen and archers in the back row suffered heavy losses, but even the sword and shield soldiers holding shields in the front row could not bear the strength of the crossbow arrows and were shot to the ground one after another.
Without waiting for Hua Wuxin to reorganize, the Golden Fire Cavalry broke through the blockade of the sword and shield soldiers in one fell swoop, and directly entered the back row, the halberd of the sixth-order cavalry waved in the crowd, and the sergeants of the Chiba Alliance fell in pieces as if they were cutting leeks, and the players of the Chiba Alliance were blinded by that scene, and a message kept repeating in their minds and ears: "Your troops are being attacked by Qin Feifei!" ”
"Unexpectedly! It's all sixth-order cavalry! Is Qin Extraordinary's strength already terrifying to this extent? It's not one or two...... It's tens of thousands! Hua Wuxin couldn't resist anymore, and in just a few minutes, his troops were first hit by six or seven thousand crossbow arrows, and these heavily armored cavalry came in to chop melons and vegetables, and together with the war horses, more than half of the casualties were killed in a moment.
"Withdraw! The whole army retreats! "Hua Wuxin gave orders in the channel.
"Boss! We withdrew, how can we explain to the backfire? Some players are worried.
"Backfire?! As soon as Qin Feifei came, the backfire could get Fengzhou and I would wash my hair upside down! If he wants to be held accountable, he will chase it, the labor-management soldiers are dead, and Chishui County must not be eaten by those small alliances! It's a big deal and backfire, and the labor-management Chiba Alliance has people in the whole district! Datong Mansion is lost, and labor and management can go to other places. ”
Qin Fan saw on the map that the people of the Chiba Alliance had withdrawn, so he would no longer rush to kill them all, and he would have to mix in Datong Mansion in the future, leaving a line to do things and seeing each other in the future, it is not a good thing that the line of fire is too long.
As soon as Xiao Xie withdrew, he detoured back to the south gate, and behind the army of the Backfire Alliance was the 70,000 army of the Black Tiger and the Macho Boy. Qin Fan asked the Golden Fire Cavalry to stand by and wait for the arrival of the army.
The news of the crippled Chiba Alliance quickly reached the ears of the Backfire and Black Tiger Alliance players, and Xiang Tianlei, who was commanding the formation, frowned slightly when he heard this: "Ten thousand sixth-order cavalry, this Qin's extraordinary strength is really terrifying, fortunately, there are only ten thousand ......."
"Alliance leader, what should we do now?" The player next to him asked hurriedly.
Xiang Tianlei said calmly: "Continue to attack the city, otherwise all preparations will be in vain, the 70,000 infantry of the Black Tiger and the fierce man should be able to resist for a while, and when our army enters the city, we will not be afraid of his cavalry troops if we fight a defensive battle." Oh yes, send out another sentry to expand ten miles outward, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, there must be a large number, and every direction must be taken care of. ”
"Understood!"
After arranging to Tianlei, he turned back to look at the city gate, where the corpses of the sergeants had been piled up in a thick layer, the blood and water had dissolved into pieces, and the city gate was crumbling under the impact of the siege wood.
