"What's the matter, Lao Qiu, are you underestimating my Kang Jianguo's ability? I, Kang Jianguo, am determined to fight this battle! If I can't wait for me, it's not too late for you to take your turn!" Kang Jianguo's nostrils seemed to be a few points higher than before, he was panting heavily, and the special saber in his hand, which was a few points wider than the ordinary Pu knife, was deeply inserted into the ground and soil, and the edge was being exposed, and he had no way to retreat at this time.

When he approached the ancient city of Bam with 30,000 people of the First Corps of Hanover, he felt a little strange, although he had never fought with the army of the Western Continent before, but Kang Jianguo knew that the first corps of Hanover was not the standing army of the Hansen League, but the first trump card of the army of the Duchy of Hanover, and its combat effectiveness was known as the best among the entire alliance countries, and the combat effectiveness of the Hannover Second Corps included in the standing army of the alliance was still a few points stronger, but after the engagement, the other party was steadily retreating, although his own strength had an absolute advantage, but he retreated almost without fighting a hard battle like this, which still made Kang Jianguo a little suspicious。
It wasn't until the other party slowly retreated into this ancient city of Bam, and after several battles, that Kang Jianguo understood that the other party had prepared in this seemingly dilapidated ancient city of Bam. Judging from the hard-fought battle for a few days, the various materials prepared by the other party in the city are unusually sufficient, whether it is strategic materials such as arrows, stones, fire oil, or food, drinking water and other necessities of life are obviously beyond their expectations, it can be said that the other party is consciously retreating here to prepare for a decisive battle with his own side, if he puts aside the time limit, Kang Jianguo is not worried, no matter how fully prepared the other party is, after all, the ancient city of Bam is an ancient city that has been abandoned for a long time, and the materials are always limited, and he will eventually be trapped in it.
However, no one thought that the Hansen Alliance, which had always been controversial about sending troops to West India, would send reinforcements, and the reinforcements would come quickly, which forced the emperor to solve the Kerman war situation in a relatively short time, otherwise once the reinforcements arrived and merged with the Hannover First Corps in the ancient city, I was afraid that it would be difficult for his eastern front cluster. At present, Zhan Botao of the southern front of Kerman led four divisions to face the main army of the second corps of Hanover on the other side is struggling, the Indian and German regiments in the northern province are making slow progress, and although the seventh army of the central line is progressing smoothly in the early stage, it has begun to encounter a strong rebound of the enemy army after occupying Mashhad, and the speed has slowed down greatly, and it seems that it will be difficult to break through in a short time. In other words, if you want to open up the situation, you can only rely on yourself, and Kang Jianguo has never intended to rely on others, that is a cowardly act, and he needs to prove it with his own strength.
"Brother Kang, needless to say, I, Qiu Zicheng, am not the kind of person who shrinks behind others to live, or we will each have a place, I will lead the reserve of the Tenth Army to attack the south, Brother Kang, you lead your reserve team to attack the north, let's work together to see who can enter the city, if we can't take it, then we don't need to say more, let the Governor team solve us!" Qiu Zicheng's tone is even tougher, when he comes to this point, everyone knows that there is no way out, it is better to use this burden to press, fight, fight to the death, fight him to the death!
Bo Lei finally felt that this first attack was different from any previous one, although the soldiers of the Tang Army were not afraid of death, but their own soldiers were also tooth for tooth, not the slightest fear, the cruel battle had made everyone forget all emotions, only one thought remained, kill the enemy, hold the city. But this time, Burley noticed that it was different, the enemy's attack speed was slower than any time, which sounded like nothing, but it was not a good phenomenon for a general like Burley who was old in war, the black pressed enemy soldiers were densely scattered under the entire city wall, gathered into two thick attack clusters, Burley had a bad premonition, this time the enemy's attack was only afraid that it would be the most ferocious since he defended this ancient city of Bam, and he even had a sense of oppression that shook his heart.
Gathered under the city wall, the Tang army formed two huge attack clusters, slowly advancing forward, and finally stopped outside the range of long-range weapons, Bolei's monocular clairvoyant moved slowly in the crowd, although the dense human head made it difficult for Bolei to distinguish anything, but the observant Burley still found some differences from the different clothes. A large number of middle and senior officers joined the attack wave, if it is ordinary, Burley is very still to do this, because this can take advantage of the defense to kill and injure a large number of opposing officers, can cause huge losses to the opponent, it does not matter if an army lacks soldiers, but if there is a lack of qualified officers, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will also have a huge impact on the development of an army.
But at this time, Boley's heart couldn't help but sink, and the enemy's posture at this time could only show one point, the enemy was ready to fight to the death. The compelling momentum brought by the dark and heavy attack formation made Burley feel breathless, look at the subordinates behind him who were holding up the spirit to enter the defensive posture, Burley until they were all tired to death, five days of defense in a row, although the materials prepared before were quite sufficient, but the defense was supported by people, and the materials were only an element, the continuous night impact of the Tang Army made the soldiers of the Hannover First Corps, known as the undefeated army, also feel a little unbearable, and the almost crazy charge made the Hannover soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, but for the sake of honor, in order to survive, they had to persevere。
Heaven and earth seemed to be still, two prominent wedge-shaped attack groups stood silently under the city, and the Hansen Alliance on the city wall seemed to be a little cowering by this momentum, and for a while they couldn't think of any way to deal with it, but how long did this quiet atmosphere and reputation last, as the two red flags waved suddenly, the shocking golden drum beat suddenly, like a flood that suddenly opened the floodgates, and two unstoppable torrents swept straight towards the ancient city of Bam, as if they were going to submerge the entire city at once。
The air almost immediately remembered the sound of "whooshing", followed by a creaking and squeaking of crossbow arrows, and the archers and crossbow arrows almost immediately covered the entire sky outside the city walls, and the black pressure was like a dark cloud covering and pouring down. Obviously, they were accustomed to this kind of blocking wave, and the soldiers of the Tang Army bowed their waists and raised their shields, lowered their figures, and tried their best to hide their bodies behind the leather shields, as long as they crossed this most dangerous distance, the threat of bows and arrows would be much smaller, and of course they would also face the baptism of stones and oil.
Countless ladders rushed out in an instant, the large pulley under the ladder was pushed forward quickly under the work of the four soldiers, and soon arrived at the mouth of the city wall, the sharp hook was deeply stuck on the adobe city wall, and the ladder was immediately fixed, and the Tang soldiers who had been clustered below the ladder immediately rushed to climb upward, with a waist knife in their mouths, a shield on their heads, and a monkey soaring, and they looked like ordinary soldiers. This is that Kang Jianguo has sent all the sniper units directly under his legion, except for the snipers of bows and arrows, most of these soldiers are from the inland of the empire, they are even inferior to the grassroots officers in the marching formation, and they are even more amateurs in commanding battles, but in this situation, they can play a much stronger role than ordinary soldiers and officers.
As soon as Burley made a little contact, he knew that this time he was afraid that a real crisis was coming, and without any hesitation, with a wave of his hand, the reserves that had never appeared on the field all pounced without reservation, and immediately killed the Tang soldiers who had easily broken through the first line of defense of the city wall. The city walls immediately became the focus of contention between the two sides.
Kang Jianguo anxiously watched every battlefield on the city wall, dozens of ladders have been half burned or pushed down and broken, less than forty can play a role, but it is these forty ladders that continue to send snipers to the city wall, it is obvious that the first batch of snipers who climbed the city wall caught the Hanoverians by surprise, and suddenly formed several large gaps in the city wall, and the follow-up troops swarmed along these gaps. Although their commander reacts quickly, after all, there is a time lag between this, he needs to make a judgment and give an order, no matter how timely the reaction is, how agile the action is, it takes time, and almost every second is fatal at this time.
But the quality of the Hanoverian soldiers was on full display at this time, lined up in a neat phalanx of spears, slowly but surely squeezing fiercely along the flanks of the wall towards the middle, without the orders of the officers, who knew that once the enemy had gained a foothold in these breaches, it would be their last day. Although the individual ability of the snipers is far beyond the opponent, but in the face of this dense gun forest, they are still a little overwhelmed, they can splice good personal ability to continue to cause casualties to the other party, but when one falls, there are soldiers immediately to fill in, step by step to squeeze back the gap that has been expanded.
At this time, Kang Jianguo was really angry, as a corps commander, it stands to reason that it is the limit to be able to go straight to the city wall and sit and command, but looking at the scene in front of him, Kang Jianguo felt that if he could still sit down under this city, even if he won this battle, he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life, and at the most critical time of the army, he could only sit and watch, how could this taste be endured?
