Chapter 52: The Battle for Redwood County (6)
"Cavalry charge! Infantry cover advance! ”
Right now, Yue Ziyun and Xiao Xie were not there, and Qin Fan had to personally command two sixth-order generals to lead the team to attack the city!
The lancers covered the archers and rushed towards the city gate, and the defenders on the tower began to fire bed crossbows again, but fortunately, the cavalry was fast enough, except for the latter part that damaged one or two hundred horsemen, and the rest entered the city smoothly.
The 5,000 infantry began to capture the tower, and under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, the archers and 200 crossbowmen threw covering the golden soldiers on the city walls, although the arrows were not dense enough, but they also had a certain effect. Having lost more than 500 men, the spearmen finally rushed to the city walls.
The cavalry rushed into the city, and as soon as they entered the street, they were hindered by nearly four thousand sword and shield soldiers, and Qin Fan could only order the sixth-order generals to rush in at any cost when he saw this.
The cavalry forward crossed into the crowd of people, and took advantage of this momentum to bring down a large number of sword and shield soldiers, and then the cavalry group drew a scoop with a gourd and forcibly used their horses to charge into the formation.
This kind of street terrain is not conducive to the cavalry to launch an attack formation, but it is conducive to the defense of the sword and shield soldiers, not to mention that the two sides are of the same rank, Qin Fan's cavalry does not play much role by relying on the attribute bonus of the star dragon alone.
However, under the suicidal attack of the cavalry, the dense formation of the golden soldiers was still broken by the cavalry.
After leaving thousands of people behind, the lancers broke through the defenses and successfully approached the county guard.
At this time, there were only more than 400 golden fire cavalry left around Xiao Xie, and there were a large number of golden soldiers using short knives around them, and the sixth-order generals saw this and hurriedly ordered the archers to attack.
The archers killed and wounded hundreds of people in three consecutive waves of arrows, and the lancers took the opportunity to rush and kill, easily cutting off the encirclement.
"General Xiao! Childe ordered me to take you out of the city! Just throw away the seal! "The sixth-order martial general rode his horse and came to Xiao Xie.
Xiao Xie shook off the blood stains on the sword, took out the seal letter from his arms and threw it directly on the ground, and said to the golden fire cavalry behind him: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”
On the westward post road, the 20,000 infantry of the Chiba Alliance were in a hurry to rush to Qingzhen, and Hua Wuxin and a group of players were eager to immediately set foot on several small towns of Qin Feifei.
"Kill them! Eat wine and drink meat! ”
When the troops passed through a forest, I don't know who suddenly roared, and the shouts of killing on both sides shook the sky, and a large number of ragged Tianwei rebels rushed out of the forest.
"Not good! There is an ambush! The players who followed behind immediately exclaimed.
"It's the Heavenly Mighty Rebels! How could they attack us? ”
The middle-aged man beside Hua Wuxin looked surprised.
"Retreat!"
Hua Wuxin was also shocked, this day the Weiyi army broke down the city gate and retreated, why did they come here to ambush them?
As soon as the players ordered the troops to turn around, at this time, shouts of killing sounded in the rear, and the formation turned out to be surrounded on three sides.
"Rush forward! Kill these bastards for me! Hua Wuxin saw that he had fallen into the encirclement, and now he could only fight his way to the death, although the team of these farmers was not strong in combat, but the number was twice as large as theirs.
On the post road, the men and horses on both sides were mixed together, swords and clubs were everywhere, the sound of fighting and miserable howls were endless, the blood stained the loess brown, and the whole battlefield stretched for two or three miles.
Qin Fan stood on the tower of the South Gate City and watched Xiao Xie and the golden fire cavalry break through several blockades one after another, and the sword and shield soldiers besieging them were overwhelmed, and the three thousand cavalry led by the sixth-order military general followed behind him and picked up a lot of bargains.
"Childe, at the moment, the east and west gates are fighting, and the casualties of the golden soldiers in the city have already exceeded half, let's let the cavalry withdraw first, and then use the infantry to consume some of the golden soldiers to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield first."
Qin Fan nodded, opened the map, pulled all the cavalry out of the city, and then let the more than 4,000 mixed infantry near the city gate continue to attack the city defense troops on the main street.
Without cavalry, the battle between infantry and infantry was life for life, blood for blood. After several volleys of archers, the sword and shield men attacked first, and both sides clashed together with their shields, and the lancets and scimitars in the other hand took the opportunity to slash at each other.
Due to the bonus of the star dragon, the defense and attack power of the sword and shield soldiers of the own side are stronger, and they have a slight advantage in the confrontation, and they are basically in a situation of two for three.
Soon all the 2,000 sword and shield soldiers were killed, in exchange for the heads of more than 3,000 gold soldiers, and the spearmen and archers then made up for it.
After the spearmen killed the remaining part of the sword and shield soldiers, they fought with a large number of scimitar gold soldiers, Qin Fan ordered all the archers to climb the buildings on both sides of the street for long-range support, and half an hour later, the 5,000 infantry consumed more than 7,000 gold soldiers and all of them were killed.
Qin Fan and Xinglong began to retreat towards Qingzhen under the cover of Xiao Xie.
"Brother Qi! Qin Feifei's troops and Jin soldiers fought out, and only retreated to the west with two or three thousand cavalry, and the map showed that the seal letter was lost in the county guard's mansion! In addition to the strength of the east and west gates of the entire city, there are only 3,000 infantry left on the main street. ”
"Humph! The head of the first place in the Huaxia District is not very good, so he ordered the whole army to attack and clean up the Jin soldiers, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Dark Lin Alliance in Dongcheng! In addition, everyone should hurry up and arrange for the training of new troops to come out, and strive to organize another support army as soon as possible! ”
Qin Fan and his entourage withdrew and soon encountered the Tianwei Righteous Army and the Chiba Alliance who were in the midst of a fierce battle, and at present, the two sides have been killed, and the losses of the Chiba Alliance have been more than half, and the Tianwei Righteous Army has also lost more than 20,000 people.
"Haha! Let them continue dog-eat-dog, let's take a detour from the side road to the forest! Qin Fan felt that his two thousand golden flowers were not wronged.
In the early hours of the morning, as soon as he returned to Qingzhen, Qin Fan hurriedly began to brush the population, Zamusi was afraid that it was far away from quenching his thirst, not to mention that the number of chaotic people had exceeded 10,000, and he was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it again.
Fortunately, the current training capacity of Tianya Town is four thousand a day, plus the ordinary war horses that were brought back from Zamusi yesterday, two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry are no problem.
The two thousand infantry sent out by Xianyu Town have already returned, these two thousand infantry are the local population of Xianyu Town, this time Qin Fan plans to pull them out together, and leave another thousand fourth-order knights to deal with the chaos for the time being.
The two small towns occupied by Yue Ziyun each had a population of 3,000, but that would have to wait until tonight to get the right to belong, Qin Fan calculated, if he took a little risk and transferred a thousand troops from Qingzhen Flying Bird Town, he could gather 15,000 fourth-order troops.
Qin Fan watched his army outside the town chasing and killing the chaotic people who were destroying everywhere, and at this time, Xinglong came to find him.
"Childe, the dark wolf found out that the Chiba Alliance and the Tianwei Righteous Army fought fiercely last night, and the Chiba Alliance finally annihilated the Tianwei Righteous Army in Redwood County, but there were only three or four thousand people left. Now it has returned to the northwest. ”
Qin Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, eliminating the Tianwei Righteous Army, and relieving the power of Qingzhen Flying Bird Town, this flower was still impulsive in the end.
"How's Redwood County?"
"Black Tiger and Dark Lin cleared out most of the golden soldiers defending the city last night, and now they each control half of the city, and they are facing off, and both sides seem to be waiting for reinforcements to arrive."
"Hmmm......"
Large alliances have a large number of soldiers, and even if a player can only train ten soldiers per day, the cumulative number of hundreds or thousands of players is still terrifying.
What's more, now that everyone is about to be promoted to the ninth-order village, and there is a system activity again, there is a first-order village warrior among the chaotic people, and as soon as they are recruited and trained, the troops will come. In a day, such a large alliance can organize tens of thousands of troops.
"Now there are thirty hours before the end of the exile period in Redwood County, and as soon as Yue Ziyun's two towns return in the evening, I will immediately recruit another six thousand knights, as long as I master the time and meet the attack at the most critical time, Redwood County will be in the bag."
