Chapter 392: Siege the Teacher
"Kill!" An army of 50,000 men in the middle rushed into the hilly terrain, with cavalry in front and infantry and crossbowmen in the rear.
The terrain of the hilly area is more complicated, it is not a simple mountain road to enter, but with the ups and downs of the terrain, these roads have been developed by Fuxing City, as the three main roads leading to the interior of Alasia in Fuxing City, but in the three main roads are built on the mountain, so the width is different, some are only seven or eight meters wide, only two carriages can cross each other, and some even form a mountain col for tens of meters. The mountains on both sides are also of varying heights, most of them are low hills, or independent karst lava formations, but they are all densely forested and thickly shrubbed.
The three-way army of the Third Theater of Operations, which had been driven straight into the army, was only subjected to sporadic harassment along the way, as previously probed, and did not cause any substantial obstacles to the army at all, and the army continued to advance steadily until the rear army also entered the mountain pass.
The front of the third war zone was stopped by a pile of rubble, but they seemed to be accustomed to it and immediately sent people to clean it up!
"Woooooo The trumpet sounded, countless boulders and trees rolled down from the mountain, countless arrows and * overwhelmingly came, and the stone bullets of catapults also poured down, all of which seemed to be about to bury the area.
"*Occupy the high ground on both sides, don't panic!" The experienced enemy commander saw that this time was different, and these stone bullets, arrows, and arrows,* in terms of number, strength, and accuracy, were not comparable to the sporadic harassment and destruction along the way, and only a battle-hardened warrior could inflict such an effect.
The arrows are as dense as rain, not to mention counterattacking on both sides to seize the high ground, even raising their heads is likely to be shot in the face by arrows, most people can only lie on the ground to find a place to take cover, waiting for the enemy's arrow rain to pass, and then act.
The enemy's commander is very clear that he must not be chaotic, he must be calm, the other party just wants to attack his front army with all his strength, so that the front army can not stand it, and can only be forced to retreat, but his follow-up army is pouring towards the mountains one after another, and the result of retreating back can only be crowding people and trampling people. The only way to do this is to seize the high ground on both sides and completely lose the enemy's terrain advantage.
"Kill!" The enemy commander was the first to stand up, braved the rain of arrows, and was the first to kill the high ground on the left. The main general took the lead, and immediately made all the soldiers enthusiastic and bloody, plus they understood that there was only a dead end to stay in place, and only by rushing forward could there be hope.
"Kill!" Many people shouted loudly, rushed out of their bunkers, and rushed towards the hillside, and on the hillside on the left, the arrows suddenly became much looser, and many soldiers with crossbows and crossbows on many hills were overwhelmed with astonishment.
Those stunned and overwhelmed soldiers, without exception, were the reservists of Fuxing City, and they hurried into battle with confidence, but when they arrived on the battlefield, they were shocked by the bloodshed and brutality on the scene.
"Kill!" The veterans took up their weapons and charged back down the mountain, and suddenly the two armies staggered and scuffled.
Gradually, the reservists also came to their senses, raised their crossbows again, and fired quickly at the enemy around them. The Repeater is a semi-long-range weapon with a range of 30 meters, with an optimal range of 20 meters, which can bridge the gap between ranged and melee classes. The melee function of this weapon is greater than that of long-range, the reason is that there are twenty arrows in a barrel, the firing speed is very fast, and if you miss, you will immediately reshoot, and it is easy to get started with recruits, so nearly half of the soldiers in the reserve have received this weapon. As long as you don't get completely close to the enemy, you don't have to worry at all.
But the defenders of Fuxing City seem to underestimate the tenacity of the enemy, Sampu's headquarters was originally the elite of the third war zone, and those who can be used as the main offensive front army of the Chinese army are all warriors of a hundred battles, and it is difficult to be an opponent regardless of the new recruits and veterans of Fuxing City, but now they are losing on the terrain, it is difficult to exert the maximum lethality, as more and more people rush up one after another, the hillside on the left is gradually pressed up by the enemy, and even the crossbowmen fight and retreat, but those soldiers who have been mixed with the enemy are drowned in the crazy enemy tide.
The two sides scuffled, and the long-range repeater chariots and catapults were useless, so they had to turn around and strike at the enemy's center and front, preventing more people from rushing up the hillside.
"Kill me!" With the sword in his hand, Snorlin led his guards and rushed down, he knew that as long as he suppressed the enemy's front army, he would win, although he was a little overbearing, and did not invest too many veterans in the army positions of the front army, but he believed that as long as these reserves had seen blood, the crossbows in their hands would soon become a nightmare for the enemy.
The commander personally went into battle to fight, which aroused the morale of the defenders, and almost all of them began to counterattack down the hill again, including the defenders on the right slope, who also jumped out of cover and rushed down the hill, and after entering the firing range, they launched a confrontation with the enemy's archers, charging while shooting arrows.
"Resist, kill back!" Seeing that the situation had reversed again, the enemy commander was the first to come out, leading his vanguard army and Snowlin's guards to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and half of the hillside was suddenly full of flesh and blood.
"Kill!" The reinforcements on the left and right slopes finally arrived, and the regular army of the Fuxing City military camp, all of them, pressed down the mountain.
The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the defenders, who already had a slight advantage, and pressed down the hill with all their might, without giving the enemy any respite.
At first, when the front army of the Third War Zone was attacked, the rear army did not notice it, because the tens of thousands of troops were indeed stretched too long, and no one knew what was happening in front, so they kept following up.
The whole battlefield is like dominoes, the whole army in the third theater began to be attacked, spreading from the front army to the rear army, countless stone arrow towers, played a huge role, the third theater did not have heavy weapons to follow up, could not destroy these pillboxes, and the other side was condescending. Every time they captured an arrow tower position, they had to pay a heavy price.
The rear army of the Chinese army in the third theater also began to be attacked, so that the front army lost the support behind it, and the follow-up was weak, and finally it gradually became impossible to hold on, and finally the first soldier who could not accept such a scene appeared, and frantically retreated down the hillside, with the first, there will be a second, a third...... This kind of psychology in war is like this, all people are insisting, some people run away, others will think that others can run, why can't they, why should they retreat with cover to escape, the road of death is not dead, it is better to run away first! When the second and third appear, it will make more people feel that it is not the psychology of me running first anyway, the psychology of laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps, or the psychology of not being responsible for the law, and they will give up resisting and running away, just like a deflated ball, until the final collapse!
The commander must make a decision at this time, whether to let the army retreat or order another all-out attack, it depends on the situation of the enemy and us, if the counterattack is hopeless, then there is only a retreat, to avoid the whole army becoming deserters, but only to become soldiers in an orderly retreat. The retreating soldiers can still be regrouped, but you can't regroup the deserters, because this kind of opportunist, who only cares about his own life, how can he come back and let the military law kill him?
"Retreat!" The stubborn enemy commander felt that the situation was gone, so he had to order a retreat, hoping that on the way back, he could regroup his forces and fight the opponent to the death again.
And how could Snoring let go of this opportunity to allow the enemy to regroup again? "Chase!" With a shout, he rushed down the hill where the enemy was retreating, and the defenders, who were full of morale, rushed out of the tiger's den like a fierce tiger, and followed his commander Snorlin to kill him.
The enemy's rout, like dominoes, fell from the front army to the rear army, which was originally the battle plan arranged by Rogson and Snolin. Go all out to cripple the enemy's front army and let the enemy's front army retreat, but for the rear army of the Chinese army, just blindly confront and entangle with them, use the depth of the hillsides on both sides, and use the impregnable arrow tower bunkers to entangle the middle and rear army to the death, and hold their own positions.
When the Chinese army saw that the front army was defeated, and there were still many enemy pursuers behind them, they had to give up their entanglement with the enemy, and also withdrew from the hillside to join the retreating army.
When Rogson and Snorlin were making battle plans, Snorlin originally wanted to cripple the rear army, seal the mountain pass, and completely annihilate the enemy forces entering the defense area, but Daniel and Rogson vetoed it. For Daniel, the most important thing is to hold Fuxing City, if the enemy's tens of thousands of troops are trapped in the mountains, in case he can't support it, let the enemy army join forces inside and outside, and the center blooms, the defenders of Fuxing City will be in danger of being defeated. Although the defenders of Fuxing City were as many as 230,000, the real regular army was only 50,000.
It is very dangerous to lock up the enemy's army of 90,000 and make them lose their hope of survival, and they can only fight the trapped beasts. Everyone knows the truth that mourning soldiers will win, no one can predict how strong a person's strength can burst out before he dies, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and reinforcements at any time, even if he can win, it is a tragic victory. The lives of the soldiers of Fuxing City are worth more than the lives of the soldiers of the Third War Zone, at least that's what Daniel thinks.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall, as long as the revival city is not lost, and the third war zone is eliminated, that is Higg's business, Daniel feels that there is no need to overstep his needs and pay too many lives, or it is safer to besiege the division.
As more and more people joined the retreating army, it finally became more and more crowded, and the phenomenon of horses stepping on people and people stepping on people began to appear in the panic.
The people are getting more and more crowded and panicked, coupled with the crossbowmen and repeater chariots on the peaks on both sides, and the arrows, *, and stone bullets poured down by the catapults can hit the enemy at will without aiming at all.
The orderly retreat finally turned into a big rout, no matter how wise the main general was, there was no way to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the rout of the front army rushed to the Chinese army that had not yet been defeated, and then the defeated Chinese army attacked the rear army that had not yet been defeated, and the three or four thousand meters long team was compressed like a spring, people squeezed people, people trampled on people, and even drew knives and cut down the comrades in front of them who blocked their way......
