However, the leader of the rebel army was still a little unwilling, although he learned from the letter that the northern wall of Qinchuan City had been completely occupied, and even a small half of the entire northern city area had fallen into the hands of the imperial court, so he felt that there was still some hope. After all, the spies just reported that the army coming from front was still thirty or forty kilometers away, and it would take almost half an hour to arrive, and if he could recapture the northern city wall, there was still hope to hold Qinchuan City.
When he rushed out of Qinchuan City just now, he had already observed the situation of the imperial army in the south of Qinchuan City, and there were very few troops deployed, if the imperial army was still attacking the northern city with all its might, it was estimated that the strength of the southern army would not change much, and he would rush back now, and the imperial army in the south would still not be able to stop him.
Therefore, the leader immediately ordered the army to turn around and rush towards Qinchuan City.
However, when he spent more than a quarter of an hour to reach the south of the city, he found that there seemed to be more imperial troops in the south of the city at this time, and the defense line had withdrawn nearly two kilometers to the north. Although he did not understand why the imperial army retreated two kilometers, the increased Cointreau was still within his reach, so the leader immediately ordered the army to storm the imperial army's defensive line, and strive to rush to the southern gate and enter the city.
In order to rush over as much as possible, this leader led the 10,000 eighth-order soldiers under his command as arrows and rushed to the front. Although the imperial army resisted bravely, it was not the opponent of these eighth-order soldiers, and there were soldiers who were constantly killed, and they were powerless to block the impact of the other party. Fortunately, these eighth-order soldiers were not cavalry, so the speed of their advance was not very fast.
During this time, there were constantly imperial troops coming from several other city walls, and the scale was very large, the 10,000 eighth-order soldiers led by the leader in front were a little better, but the army that followed behind had a feeling of being stuck in the mud.
But suddenly, the leader of the rebel army was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, for he found that the open space that had been left behind by the retreat of the imperial army was now full of troops, and there was no doubt that all of them belonged to the imperial camp. In other words, the imperial army that had intercepted the eastern city wall was only about thirty before, but now it has skyrocketed to nearly one million.
This leader knew that with the army under his command, it would not be difficult to take down this million imperial army, but the key was that this time could not be done in half an hour. You must know that there are nearly two million troops chasing after him at this moment!
It's just that now his forward troops are deeply encircled, and although there are still many large armies behind them that have failed to rush into the battlefield, these people have not helped them much to break through.
However, it is not that the army outside is useless, you must know that it is less than 20% of his army that has rushed into the military formation and entered the battle state, after all, even if the nearly two million troops are placed on the flat desert, it is still a store that stretches for several kilometers. In addition, they rushed out of the city gate before, and then did not fully adjust the formation, so the front line was still very long, even if they changed direction later, this situation did not change. Therefore, the leader immediately ordered the rebels outside to draw out a million men, turn around again, and go to intercept the imperial army chasing this way. These men did not resist the enemy, and they headed south very quickly.
And this leader also led the army to start breaking through, their more than 300,000 people rushed into the opponent's million-strong army, it was indeed a little difficult for them to rush out, but fortunately, there were hundreds of thousands of rebels on the periphery to respond, and they could also disperse a lot of energy from the imperial army.
Therefore, the whole battlefield has become a very strange situation, the innermost is the 300,000 army led by the leader of the rebel army, the 1 million alien army of the imperial court is surrounded by these rebels, and the outermost is the more than 600,000 troops who have just joined the war. Of course, it was impossible for these more than 600,000 troops to surround the million imperial troops inside, they were just trying to carve a passage from one direction and pick up the rebel leaders trapped inside.
The craziest battle began, and the two sides were almost evenly matched in a frantic fight, and no amount of command skill could play a big role in this melee scene. Of course, the most important thing is that although the scale of the two warring sides is huge, there are no powerful commanders, or generals who have mastered the battle array.
The 10,000 eighth-order soldiers of the rebel leader were indeed very powerful, and after losing most of them, they finally connected with the leader and the passage carved out by the rebels on the periphery. However, by this time, the losses of both warring sides had already exceeded half, and it can be said that the casualties were heavy.
When the leader of the rebel army met with the receiving army, he quickly withdrew from the passage supported by his army under the help of several subordinate generals, while the rest of the army also fought and retreated, no longer fighting with the imperial army.
However, the imperial army was not willing to let them go so lightly, and as the armies from the east and west gradually arrived, they slowly occupied an overwhelming advantage. What bothered the rebels the most was that now they could only evacuate from the east and west, and the rebels chose to flee from the west, but whether it was east or west, there were constantly inhuman armies of the imperial court rushing over, delaying their escape speed, and the pursuers behind them were biting very tightly, so they couldn't completely get rid of each other.
The leader had no choice but to order the army to stay behind to intercept the pursuers, and he led more than a thousand eighth-order soldiers to the west in a hurry, which was now the only eighth-order soldier left under his command.
Without the eighth-order soldiers dragged down by the troops behind, the speed was naturally extremely fast, so although the imperial army wanted to catch up, they were powerless, not to mention that they were still fighting with hundreds of thousands of rebels at this time. Of course, for these players, it is better to stay and destroy the rebels in front of them than to hunt down the leader. The reason is simple, these remaining rebels are not strong, and as the leader flees, the morale of the army begins to weaken, and it is much easier to kill. In their eyes, these people are not a life, but a running point.
In this situation, the rebels, who were not superior in numbers, were completely pressed and beaten, and the proportion of casualties further increased.
In this war, the proportion of player combatants occupies a large proportion, especially on the side of the imperial court camp, almost seventy percent of the players, and the other three percent are also NPC soldiers led by players, some are Tongguò soldiers, and some are because of the identity of military generals, but there are not many NPC soldiers led by these two parts. Most of the NPC armies are led by some lord players, especially the leaders of big forces like Xuanyuan Sword, and the NPC armies under their command are more than 10,000.
At this time, players don't want to be as weak as players in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they have slowly occupied a place on the battlefield after several major battles, and even affect the outcome of the war. This is not only an improvement in strength, but also a change in psychological state.
It can be said that in the real world, because there has been too much peace, there are very few people who have really participated in the war, and even if a small part has participated in the war, it is carried out with thermal weapons, and the trigger is pulled, or the button is clicked, and the target is automatically killed, and at such a distance, there is basically not much blood. But this game is different, with a knife to cut down, that is, blood is spilled, disemboweled, and there are simply too many scenes of disembowelment, stumps and broken arms. Players who have never experienced it may not be able to exert 30% of their combat power in this situation, let alone obey orders.
Now, as long as players who have participated in many wars, they are used to blood, and they are used to death, so they don't have too much fear, the only thing they worry about is that they need a lot of money or points to resurrect after death. This makes them somewhat scruple about death, otherwise, the player will become the most perverted storage on the battlefield.
When all the rebels were wiped out, Qinchuan City has also been occupied by the imperial army, in this war, the imperial army paid nearly a million casualties, but the harvest is also huge, not only killed nearly two million enemies, but also occupied Qinchuan City in one fell swoop, harvested a large number of materials in the city. At the same time, after cleaning the battlefield, there are a lot of unexpected gains, that is, items such as equipment or skill books that have been exploded, and the amount is very huge. Not only can it make up for the losses, but there are also a lot of savings.
At the same time, the one million rebels sent by the rebel leader to intercept Zhang Wen's army have all been wiped out, and it can be said that this result was already doomed when the leader decided to send the million rebels. Who let the army led by Zhang Wen be all the elite forces of the imperial court. When the two sides encountered, Zhang Wen almost didn't spend much effort to completely defeat this army, fleeing and surrendering. In a sense, this is the first victory won by his own strength since Zhang Wen became the generalissimo of the expedition against Xiliang. Although there are more people bullying fewer people, and some of them are not victorious, but they always win the battle, right?
Therefore, when Zhang Wen rushed to Qinchuan City, the smile on his face never disappeared, not only praised Chen Gong, but even the leaders of those alien forces were also rewarded by Zhang Wen, this reward is very real, that is, money and grain, the imperial court naturally prepared a lot of money and grain for this expedition to Xiliang, and at this time, it was only a drop in the bucket to reward Chen Gong and others.
It's just that this reward is not what these Inhuman leaders value the most, as far as this stage is concerned, these people who sit in the position of the boss of the player's guild are not short of money, and in reality, many rich people want to benefit from them, so naturally there is a large amount of money injected. Although the money is not inexhaustible, it is enough for them to use for the time being. At present, what is most worthy of their attention is that Zhang Wen promised to put their exploits on the court, and they will be added to the rank and knighthood, just around the corner! With an official position comes greater prestige, and for the development of power, the recruitment of civil and military generals has unparalleled benefits. (To be continued)
