Under the long-distance bombardment of the ape, the soldiers of the second line of defense were instantly scattered, and most of them began to retreat in a panic. At this time, the ape-man rushed again, and continued to throw the powder cartridge as he ran, but the accuracy was not lost in the slightest because of their running, and each powder cartridge exploded in the middle of Ling Ying's army.

At a distance of more than 300 meters, the ape-man quickly rushed over and slaughtered again, and only a hundred of the 1,000 soldiers were able to escape.

The number of soldiers in the third line of defense was even smaller, but as early as when the first line of defense was killed, Zeng Hao made the soldiers of the third line of defense also begin to retreat. After evacuating Yong'an City, the commander of the first regiment said to Zeng Hao: "Division commander, with the enemy's attack method, it is difficult for us to block them outside the city!"

Zeng Hao nodded and said, "I know, but even if you defend the city, it's not a way, as long as the group of rat people in the Nornos army master the method, they will climb over the wall and walk on the ground."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Hao turned his head to look at the staff officer and said, "Have you probably counted how many of them there are?"

The staff officer nodded and said, "It's counted, judging from all the intelligence we have gathered, the enemy army attacking our Yong'an City should have close to five thousand rat men, more than a hundred apes and a battalion of human troops."

Zeng Hao tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered: "You really look up to us, you actually sent so many troops." With their lineup, it would be difficult for us to hold even if we had three divisions! ”

The staff officer and the commander of the first regiment were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Zeng Hao with wide eyes, and the commander of the first regiment asked: "Then what should we do now, continue to defend the city or prepare to evacuate?"

"Evacuate?" Zeng Hao turned his head and glared at the regiment leader, and said in a heavy voice: "The order of the headquarters is to defend the city to the death, even if we die, we will die in this town."

As soon as his voice fell, Zeng Hao changed his tone again and said, "But we can't just send us to death in vain." I'll make another call to headquarters and report back to our predicament!"

After speaking, Zeng Hao walked to a small room on the city wall and dialed the phone to Bian Cheng. As the front line, Yong'an City gives priority to the placement of telephones, which is conducive to ensuring smooth communication.

A few minutes later, Zeng Hao came out of the small room, glanced at everyone, and said, "The Bian Cheng headquarters said that the reinforcements will arrive in about two hours, as long as we hold on for another two hours!"

"Two hours ......" The commander of the regiment turned his head to look at the menacing Nornos army in the extreme distance outside the city, and was very worried in his heart.

Zeng Hao suddenly shouted and shouted at everyone: "Now everyone cheers me up, give me the courage to defend Yong'an City, all the weapons and tools that can be used are specially used for me, in short, give me two hours of guarding!"

After Zeng Hao's order was conveyed, the morale of the soldiers in Yong'an City was more or less high, because now there is at least an accurate time, and the heart will have a bottom, and the battle will be more powerful.

After the first and second lines of defense were destroyed by the army of Nornors, the remaining lines of defense outside Yong'an City were removed. Because as long as there is the nezumi shield array of the Nornors army and the terrifying lethality of the apemen, those defenses will be useless!

Soon, the Nornors army attacked the city gate, but instead of using the wall-to-wall attack of the nezumi army led by Ge Ye, they set up the light mortars they had collected outside Yong'an City and bombarded the city gate.

Naturally, the people of Yong'an City would not let them attack, but not only set up light mortars, but also took out large-caliber artillery. This guy's attack range is far away, and the bombardment range of nearly a thousand meters is far from being comparable to that of a light mortar.

However, what made Zeng Hao feel powerless was that the Nornos army, as if they expected them to use artillery attacks, did not converge, but dispersed very widely, showing a large fan shape towards Yong'an City. In this case, even if the large-caliber artillery of Yong'an City is constantly bombarded, it is difficult to hurt many enemy soldiers, after all, it is much more convenient for the enemy troops to move around if they are so dispersed.

On the contrary, the Ling Ying army stationed in Yong'an City was able to withstand the city by itself, gathered in one place, and it was difficult to dodge in the face of enemy artillery fire.

The Nornos army did not have much artillery, and their light mortars were even captured from the first line of defense. They used these mortars to cover the city of Yong'an with artillery fire to contain the defenders in the city, and then the army continued to approach.

In this case, Zeng Hao could only order all the snipers in the city to aim at the enemy artillerymen, although the enemy gunners died and immediately another one came to take over, but this could at least effectively hinder their cannons.

It is not very easy for the Nornos army to get close to Yong'an City, after all, the firepower coverage of Ling Ying's army is not small, and the closer it is to Yong'an City, the greater the attack on Nornos's army.

Previously, the ape-men were able to use their guns to accurately block the shells of the soldiers of the second regiment, and that was because they used light mortars, and the shells were smashed down in an arc-shaped parabola, so the speed was relatively slow, so the apes were able to see the trajectory of the shells clearly and use the guns to detonate the shells.

And now the artillery deployed in Yong'an City has a straight line of trajectory, so it is impossible for the ape-man to intercept it. But it's a pity that the number of artillery configurations in Yong'an City is too small, and it can't cover a large area at all.

In the end, the Nornors army was able to rush to the bottom of Yong'an City, and the nezumi used their agile bodies to quickly climb to the top of Yong'an City and fight the defenders. Even more powerful are the ape-men, who don't need to climb up as fast as the nezumi, they just need to climb up one by one and then climb up by the city wall at once. After all, with the huge body of an ape-man, it is not a problem to climb to the top of Yong'an City.

Above the city gate, the Nornos army and Ling Ying's army soon started a white-knuckle battle, but the result was self-evident, and Ling Ying's army was defeated instantly. Zeng Hao immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat to the city and engage in street battles with the Nornos army.

In the street battle, Ling Yingjun finally had some advantages, after all, this was their home field, the streets were very familiar, and in the face of the pursuit of the Nornos army, they could easily hide, and then hide between the lanes to launch a sneak attack on the Nornors army. The residents of the town had all been evacuated a long time ago, so Ling Ying didn't need to have any worries at all, he just needed to keep dealing with the Nornors army.

Originally, this method should have been able to deal with the Nornos army for a long time, but unfortunately, the Nornors army did not intend to take the city, so after the city was breached, they immediately set it on fire, trying to burn the city to ruins.

Zeng Hao and the others who were hiding in the city had no choice but to do their best to block, and under the exchange of fire between the two sides, the garrison division was soon attacked by the ape-man, and thousands of people died under the ape-man's knife and the ratman's fangs and claws. In the end, only a few soldiers were able to escape, and the commander of the garrison division, Zeng Hao, was himself killed in the fight with the Nornos army.

The city of Yong'an fell into the hands of the army of Nornos. During the entire siege, there was only one and a half hours before and after.

Ten minutes later, five kilometers outside Yong'an City, reinforcements from Bian Cheng arrived, and they arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled, but the soldiers who escaped from Yong'an City told them that Yong'an City had fallen!

There was an army that came to reinforce Yong'an City this time, and it was led by Liao Huan himself. Liao Huan is known as the god of war in the United States of Dawn, but he rarely loses any battles he commands. And the Military Commission sent Liao Huan over to reinforce Yong'an City, which is enough to see how much the Military Commission values Yong'an City. But when he never expected it, the Yong'an City Garrison Division failed to successfully defend Liao Huan's arrival.

"Commander Liao, the entire garrison division has been wiped out, and there are only a few of us left!" The soldier who was lucky enough to escape told Liao Huan: "After the Nornos army broke through the city gate, they lit a fire in the city and destroyed all the buildings in the city with explosives and shells. In order to stop them, Master Zeng died in the line of duty! ”

"The other regimental commanders have also died?" Liao Huan asked the soldier eagerly.

The soldier nodded and said, "The second regiment commander was killed by the apes when he intercepted the Nornos army, and the other regiment commanders were also killed by the Nornos army when they were in the city, and now there are only a few of us left!"

Liao Huan closed his eyes when he heard this, and his heart was full of grief, because Li Yuan, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Garrison Division, was a young officer he valued the most. Previously, in the United States of Dawn, Liao Huan was also starting to cultivate the younger generation of generals, and Li Yuan was obviously appreciated by Liao Huan. The garrison of Yong'an City this time was also proposed by Li Yuan, and Liao Huan also personally led the team when he learned that Yong'an City was attacked, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this.

"Lao Liao, should we go and take Yong'an City back?" Pan Kai stood behind Liao Huan and asked softly: "Now that the Nornos army has just occupied Yong'an City, it will definitely not be too late to set up defenses, not to mention that Yong'an City has also been destroyed by them. At this time, we attacked, and they couldn't resist at all. ”

Liao Huan, who had his eyes closed, opened it after a long time, shook his head, and said, "You can't attack." As you said, Yong'an City has been destroyed for the most part, and even if we occupy it, it will not be of much use at this time, and it will be occupied again if it encounters enemy troops. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Liao Huan said, "Retreat to Xinliang City!"

Xinliang City is a city located behind Yong'an City.

At the same time that Yong'an City was attacked, other towns that were also close to the Shouwang River were also attacked by the Nornos army, and they were basically the same fate as Yong'an City, and all the troops were wiped out.

The ape-men took advantage of their ferocity and overwhelmingly captured the first towns on the front line of the Lingying Alliance!
