More than 5,000 people attacked a small cold town, and they failed to capture it for half a day, which greatly disrupted Liao Huan's arrangement. = He didn't expect that there were so many tools to defend the city in Leng Town, generally speaking, a town like Leng Town, which is not located on the border and is not large, should not have so many tools to defend the city, but it backfired, and Liao Huan miscalculated here.

In fact, if Yuan Guo really wants to capture Leng Town, it is not impossible. The Yuanyan coalition army carried a large amount of gunpowder, and as long as the gunpowder was placed under the city wall, the city wall could be completely smashed. But this needs to directly let the vanguard rush forward without their lives, even if they do not retreat under the fall of the rolling logs, the Yuan Kingdom can quickly smash the wall of Lengzhen, but if this is the case, the sacrifice will be very huge, and it may be necessary to sacrifice nearly a thousand soldiers to take this town.

The price of capturing a town with the lives of a thousand soldiers is too great, and it will eventually affect the entire battlefield, and a thousand soldiers are one-tenth of the Yuanyan coalition army.

In addition, there is another way to use catapults, but because catapults are too cumbersome, it is a bit slow to transport them from the Yuan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, and it will take at least a day or two to reach the border of the Broken Wolf Country, and then it can be sent to Lengzhen's side.

"What's next, we can't just get stuck here! It would take at least a day or two for the catapults to arrive, and by that time, the special operations team in charge of the raid would already be besieged in Bay City and could not move! Lin Xing walked up to Liao Huan and said, "Now Lao Tian is advancing to the north with thousands of soldiers, do you want to call him back?" ”

After Liao Huan pondered for a long time, he said: "No, their task is also very important, if we don't eat the northern area as soon as possible, the battle line formed by the three strongholds of Dandanyu Town, Baishui Town and Yousha Town is not enough for us to gain a foothold in the Broken Wolf Country, if we don't advance to the north as soon as possible, this weak front alone, we will be defeated by the army of the Broken Wolf Country." ”

"But now that Yousha Town is stuck in this position, we have failed to defeat it several times, if it continues to be consumed, the Bay City side will be in danger?" Lin Xing said: "Could it be that we first bypass Yousha Town and Baishui Village and directly enter Beicheng?" ”

Liao Huan frowned when he heard this and said: "In this case, not only will the problem not be solved, but will continue to expand!" ”

Nodding, Lin Xing sighed and said: "This is also, we can't storm Yousha Town now, although we are restrained by them, but we are also restrained by them, so there is nothing to do on the side of Bei Cheng for the time being, but once the Broken Wolf Country Mirror sends troops over, Bei Cheng will be in danger." Once we bypass Yousha Town and Baishui Village, although we can keep the special combat team stationed in Beicheng, our large army will also be trapped in it, and we will be dumpled by the Broken Wolf Country Mirror and the troops stationed in Yousha Town and Baishui Village. ”

"What should I do" Even Liao Huan, faced with the current situation, was in a dilemma and seemed a little anxious.

However, at this time, Ying Quwen suddenly ran over, saluted Liao Huan and Lin Xing and said, "Report to the two commanders, Ying Quwen of the third battalion of the second regiment of the Yuan Kingdom requests to be the vanguard force for the sixth siege!" ”

Hearing Ying Quwen's plea, Liao Huan was stunned for a moment and said, "Now let's suspend this senseless attack, there are too many tools to defend the city in Leng Town, and if we continue to attack, we will only sacrifice our troops in vain!" ”

"Report to the commander, according to my observations, there should not be many tools to defend the city in Cold Town!"

Lin Xing and Liao Huan were stunned at the same time, and immediately asked, "How do you know?" ”

Ying Quwen continued: "I infiltrated the Broken Wolf Team as a secret agent before, and I also collected a lot of information during this time. In the territory of the Broken Wolf Country, the distribution range of the shirt wood is relatively wide, and many of the furniture and tools in the Broken Wolf Country are made of the shirt wood. Oak is very rare, and the material of oak is relatively hard, so compared to shirt wood, oak is more valuable. According to the situation of the Broken Wolf Country, the price difference between oak and shirt wood is at least ten times more. ”

When Lin Xing heard this, he suddenly seemed to grasp something, he looked at Ying Quwen and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's right!" Ying Quwen nodded and said: "Judging from the situation of the first four sieges, the soldiers defending the city in Leng Town all threw down a large number of shirts, but by the time we attacked the city for the fifth time, the number of shirts they threw was significantly reduced, and more of them threw oaks down. ”

Liao Huan clapped his hands violently, and said with some surprise: "You mean to say that the soldiers defending the city obviously know that the price of oak is more expensive than shirtwood, so they all throw shirtwood first, and oak is expensive and scarce, unless there is really no other wood in the city, otherwise they won't throw oak, right?" ”

Nodding again, Ying Quwen said: "Leng Zhen is biased towards the north of the Broken Wolf Country, and this place is close to the northern shirt forest, so it is normal to have a large number of shirt trees stored in the city, and it is impossible to mine so much oak wood. In addition, when we attacked the first few times, the garrison of Leng Zhen could occasionally smash some rolling oil cans down, but later, it was basically gone, through these, we can basically conclude that the tools for defending the city in Leng Town are about to run out! ”

Liao Huan said with joy on his face: "This is really good news, in that case, I will now send a vanguard to carry out a tentative attack on Leng Zhen, if the number of rolling logs falling down is reduced compared to before, we will carry out the next general attack!" ”

As soon as Liao Huan's voice fell, Ying Quwen immediately shouted: "Commander, the second regiment and the third battalion request to be the vanguard!" ”

Ying Quwen's statement immediately stumped Liao Huan, hesitated for a moment, Liao Huan said: "Lao Qu, the three battalions you led are temporarily organized, and at the same time, you have just returned to the team, I don't mean that you are not capable, it's just that you have not yet fully established a good connection with the soldiers, and it is a bit difficult to undertake this task!" ”

"No!" Shaking his head, Ying Quwen said: "This time, as the vanguard, the temporary formation of the third battalion is more suitable, because the most important task is to probe, not to attack, so there is no need for mutual cooperation between them, only when facing danger, everyone takes care of their own lives and retreats quickly, so as to better reduce losses." If it is a team that has been working well with each other, they may rescue each other because they take care of their partners, so the retreat time will be delayed a lot, causing more losses! ”

"That makes sense!" Lin Xing said: "Indeed, better cooperation means more fetters, when the rolling log falls, each runs separately, and runs separately, which can really reduce losses." ”

"And!" Ying Quwen continued: "The town of Lengzhen was occupied by the Broken Wolf nearly a year ago, and at that time, I also participated in the Broken Wolf Army as a secret agent, and I myself know better which position is better to attack above the city wall, and if I lead the vanguard, I can make the soldiers quickly prepare to dodge when they reach the location that may be attacked. ”

Having said this, Liao Huan naturally had no reason to refuse, he nodded emphatically and said, "Okay, now you will lead the soldiers of the second regiment and the third battalion to carry out a tentative attack as the vanguard!" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Ying Quwen accepted this order with a standard military salute.

Soon, Ying Quwen led his team to carry out a tentative attack on Leng Zhen, and after several rounds of testing, it was found that all the rolling wood used by Leng Zhen was oak, and the intensity of the smashing was also reduced.

The 2nd Regiment and 3rd Battalion also withdrew from the battlefield in the fastest time after the trial, and although they lost a small number of men in the end, the general situation was much better than before. After all, wars will always come with losses.

After making sure that there were really not many tools left to defend the city in Leng Town, Liao Huan and Lin Xing launched a final onslaught, attacking from the west gate and the south city gate.

The first was to shoot some of the gunpowder canisters into the walls with bows and arrows, and the explosion shook some of the people, and then some teams buried more gunpowder under the southern gates. Although there were still rolling logs falling from the city gates, the number was significantly reduced and did not cause much damage.

The gunpowder was also placed quickly, and then with the sound of an explosion, a large gap was blown open in the south gate of Cold Town. Lin Xing seized this gap and quickly led his troops into the city to start a fierce street battle.

In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Yuanyan coalition army and the Breaking Wave army is actually about the same, and the Yuan Kingdom because Lin Yue attaches great importance to military training, so the overall strength of the soldiers is very high; Because the army of Yanguo was based on the previous military academy students, after changing the strategic method, the combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved; And the Broken Wolf Country is because they have been fighting all year round, so they have a lot of combat experience and good combat power.

However, due to the relatively large number of Yuanyan coalition forces, coupled with the broken city gate of Lengzhen, the morale of the Broken Wolf army was relatively low, so in the process of street fighting, the Yuanyan coalition army had an advantage.

Finally, after half a day of fighting, the wolf breaking army led by the fire wolf finally withdrew from Leng Town, with a total of 1,500 soldiers, and after exiting Leng Town, only about 1,000 soldiers remained, of which more than 200 were annihilated and more than 200 were captured.

In order to occupy Lengzhen, the losses of the Yuanyan coalition army were actually similar, and more than eighty percent of them were stoned to death by rolling logs and other weapons during the siege of the city.

The cold town offensive and defensive battle was the first time that the Yuanyan coalition army and the Broken Wolf Country had carried out such a fierce battle, and the losses caused in the process were not expected by both sides at the beginning.
