Chapter 394: Attacked from all sides

"Lord Marshal, since it is a siege point to send reinforcements, why do you want to transfer all the ships to the west bank, isn't this the way for them to return for reinforcements?" Simak was puzzled and asked, "Will this make the battle prolonged, will Fuxing City be able to hold it?" ”

"The Crusade will have a way to recruit ships again!" "If we don't collect the ships, won't we make them more suspicious?" Since you want to block the enemy's reinforcements and leave ships for the opponent, what will the opponent think? Will they drill into it? Be sure to make them think we think we're afraid of their reinforcements! ”

"What can they do to get the ship?" SMS asked.

"Because we want them to be recruited, we'll give them boats!" Higg said, "The ship is dead, but the man is alive!" Replace some of the boatmen's sailors with our men, and put them back to the east bank in a scattered manner, so that their vanguard can be recruited, but not too much, lest they cross the river too much at once, we can't deal with it, and their final assembly point is Amman City, we will destroy some of the people who cross the river first! ”

"How about it, General Mevo, Lobit City is handed over to you, Amman City is handed over to me!" "From this day forward, start the siege with catapults and catapults, and put enough pressure on Lobit City to urge reinforcements and make them frightened birds!" I will take the Heroic Magician Regiment to Amman City to lurk, you wait for my signal, as soon as the signal is issued, General Simak, you immediately send troops to reinforce Amman City to help me! ”

"Okay, let General Mevo's Chinese Guards Battalion stay, and I will lead the others to reinforce immediately!" SMS said.

"There are more than 30,000 people in the guard battalion of the Guangzhong Army, plus a heavy army, a total of 50,000 people are left behind, which is too much!" Maevo said, "Deputy Marshal, you can take half of the Chinese Guards Battalion away, and I will only leave more than 30,000 people to watch Lobit City!" ”

"What, you think you have too many people? You have only left more than 30,000 people to besiege the city? And there are 20,000 baggage troops! Higg was surprised, "You're too big, what will you do if Lobit City sends troops!" ”

"I'm just going to lure them into sending troops!" Maevo smiled, "You eat meat in the east, you can't let my combat strength even drink a soup, right?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Higg asked curiously.

"I'm going to lure them out of town!" Maevo said, "Seeing that we only have more than 30,000 people, and more than 20,000 are baggage, they will definitely not resist the temptation and come out to eliminate my baggage troops to relieve the pressure of defending the city." I'll let them taste the power of the Lianyu Chariot Array and the Bagua Array. ”

"No, it's too dangerous!" Higg resolutely denied, "The repeater chariot was built by our Fifth Legion with a lot of money, and if it is destroyed here, what will we do next!" ”

Mewo said: "The Chinese Guards Battalion has the Bagua Array as the foundation, and we can still win against the same more than 30,000 cavalry, not to mention that there are crossbow chariots today, and today I am willing to make a military order, and if there is any problem, I will be responsible!" ”

"You're responsible? You are responsible for the lives of more than 30,000 people? Higg said, "It was different back then, the enemy didn't understand the way of playing the Bagua Array, they must have done research on our tactics in the past few years, and you only left half of the Chinese Army Guards Battalion, and you can't put out a complete Bagua Array, it's not that I don't trust you, but we now take the initiative, there is no need to take such a risk!" ”

"I'm willing to make a military order!" Lan Xian'er said, "Even if you are in full bloom on the Eastern Front, if you turn around and attack Lobit City, and forcibly attack, it will not be 30,000 people who will die, and it will take time and energy, can Fuxing City hold out for so long?" Do you believe in the defense of Fuxing City? You just underestimate Samp so much? If you can't solve this place quickly and continue to spend it here, in case Fuxing City is lost, no matter how beautifully you fight, it will be meaningless. You can't risk the baggage here, we can't risk Fuxing City, we can't put any more pressure on Fuxing City, we must end the war here as soon as possible, no matter how big the risk is, it's worth it! I am willing to stay and assist General Mevo while letting Ullin's 20,000 cavalry come back secretly! ”

"I'm willing to make a military order!" Noah said, "I know the performance of the repeater chariot best, plus my sister's formation, I will definitely be able to withstand the pressure of the defending troops, if we can't tempt the enemy out of the city, destroy some of them, let the defenders see our strength, Lobit City has been stubborn, we can't afford to spend time." My sister is right, you can't risk Fuxing City! ”

Higg hesitated for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "Wicks, you take two hundred soldiers of the Heroic Wizard Regiment to leave behind Madame Assist, General Mevo and General Noah!" ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

……

When the Eastern Expeditionary Army was assembled on the northeast bank of the Luojia River one after another, Lobit City had been besieged for more than ten days, and Fuxing City had been holding on for more than ten days.

"General, only more than thirty ships have been found, of different sizes!" The staff officer came to the side of General Cordillo, the commander of the Crusade Army, and said, "Most of the ships have been assembled by the Fifth Army to the southwest bank!" ”

"How many defenders are there at the ferry on the other side?" Cordillo asked.

The staff officer said: "There are less than two thousand defenders at the ferry, and a large number of ships are concentrated there, as long as we take the ferry, we will have ships, but this will also alarm the defenders of Amman City and the main force of the Fifth Army besieging Lobit City!" ”

"There are only 10,000 defenders in Amman City, do they dare to move?" Cordillo laughed, "Hmph, this kid is too bold to think that we can't do anything after collecting the ship?" Select 2,000 pioneers who are familiar with the nature of the water to board the ship quickly, seize the ferry port on the opposite shore with the griffin legion, and immediately drive the boats on the opposite shore over, remember, as long as the big ship! ”

Early in the morning, more than 300 griffins, 2,000 naval daredevils, and more than 30 boats crossed the Luojia River, which was nearly 1,000 meters wide, and forcibly captured the ferry port on the southwest bank, and quickly organized more than 100 large ships to cross the shore again, transporting 50,000 troops at one time. The 10,000 defenders of Amman were terrified and abandoned the city and fled eastward.

For a time, the Fifth Army on the southwest bank of the Luojia River was full of smoke and chaos.

"General, the rear of our army is under attack, ask for reinforcements!" The patrol came to report to the Cordillo.

"What a nuisance!" Cordillo was looking triumphantly at the second group of 50,000 troops who were boarding the ship, and said angrily, "Our army is assembled here, and the 20,000 men in Shante dare to attack my rear?" ”

"It's not Shante's 20,000 guards, it's another army!" The patrol said, "More than twenty kilometers to the northeast, the army of dwarves and elves, about sixty or seventy thousand people, without cavalry, is launching a fierce attack on our rear army!" ”

"The Forest Nation has sent troops? How can it be? Cordillo wondered, "When did they unite with the Fifth Army?" Order all the cavalry, destroy this army at once, and the others continue to board! ”

"Yes, General!" The herald was ordered to leave.

……

"General, the Shante Department is storming our rear army from the east." Another patrol arrived.

"This damn Shante is just a stinky, hard shit!" Cordillo said angrily, "Leave 30,000 men to guard the ferry, and the others will immediately assemble and destroy this annoying creature with me." ”

……

Lufasi's expeditionary force did not have cavalry, and most of them were elves and dwarves, which were not suitable for fighting on the plains, and let them deal with cavalry on the plains, Lufasi was not so bold.

Fortunately, this is the lower reaches of the Luojia River, the river is crisscrossed, Lu Faxi's purpose is to force the enemy to divide the army, and now I get the report of the patrol cavalry, 80,000 troops are rushing towards their own army, so frightened that Lu Faxi hurriedly retreated to the north bank of the Dordo River, a tributary of the Luojia River, and removed the pontoon bridge, according to the river defense.

The Dordo River is only more than 30 meters wide, the river is not deep, it is winter, dry season, some of the wider places can also wade directly. But now it's winter, and the enemy won't be so stupid if you risk getting soaked and you'll die.

The best way is to build pontoon bridges or wooden bridges, the cavalry of the Third Theater is not stupid enough to build pontoon bridges to cross the river in front of the Lufaxi formation, they have a better way, that is, to detour 30 kilometers upstream, where the depth and width of the river can fully meet the force crossing.

Lu Faxi, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to abandon the riverbank defense line and drive the army of 70,000 troops directly into an unknown town more than 6,000 meters to the north, which did not have any military defense facilities, only a large number of houses and street furniture.

Lufasi ordered the army to build various fortifications here, put up many obstacles for the cavalry, and waited for the enemy's army to come and engage in street battles with the enemy's cavalry.

The town of more than 30,000 inhabitants was flooded with 70,000 troops, and all the inhabitants were forced to flee their homes, becoming refugees, another victim of the war.

The remnant sun of dusk stingily removed the last rays of yellow light, and blood and death gradually shrouded the sky over this town with the coming darkness.

Eighty thousand cavalry quickly rushed to the town from east to west, and the griffins in the sky also swooped down at the right time. In this town, the first tragic battle of the Fifth Army was opened since the southern expedition of the Third Theater Defense Zone.

The cavalry who had not yet rushed into the town were greeted by the crossbow chariots, and countless horses fell to the ground, but no one stopped the speed of their horses, and the cavalry that charged up was unstoppable, even the crossbow chariots could not stop their courage to charge forward, 80,000 cavalry, divided into three roads, after losing hundreds of vanguard cavalry, quickly entered the streets of the town, and quickly divided the 70,000 troops along the streets.

Inside the houses or behind the street walls, there are dwarven warriors and marksmen, and on the roofs, elven shooters and phantom marksmen. Elven archers and sharpshooters, against cavalry, three thousand phantom marksmen, in addition to cavalry, there are also griffins in the air.

The cavalry who first entered the town and was responsible for the division suffered heavy casualties, and as they ran, they found that their comrades behind them were missing. In addition to the various traps full of cavalry traps, horse stakes and horse ropes, he was also hit by countless arrows shot out of nowhere.

The knights who followed up began to sweep the streets to the sides of the house of the enemy, but this street battle did not play to the strength of the cavalry, and the cavalry that lost its speed could only compete with the dwarven warriors. However, as countless houses were set on fire, many dwarven warriors were forced to run out of the houses into the streets to fight the cavalry, and with the assistance of the rooftop shooters, they were evenly matched, and even had a certain advantage. The streets of the town are very narrow, it is difficult for the war horses to turn around, and it is impossible for 80,000 cavalry to pour into such a small town at once.

Corinth commanded the Phantom Shooter to shoot down one griffon after another, many of whom did not realize until they died, and were shot before they could reach the effective range of the elven archers. More than 100 griffins, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and they were forced to flee in a hurry and fly high into the air.

The configuration of the Lufasi army is very simple, that is, dwarves plus archers, more than 30,000 dwarven warriors, 3,000 phantom marksmen, 20,000 elven marksmen, and 13,000 sharpshooters with bows and crossbows.

The whole town became a nightmare for 80,000 cavalry...... After a long attack and the loss of nearly 20,000 horses, the whole town was finally set on fire, and the fire was blazing. All the cavalry withdrew from the town, forming an encirclement on the perimeter, only to wait for the fire to pass tonight, and then rush into the town that had burned to the ruins, and fight the enemy to the death......
