Section 212 Winning and Losing
Chai Yong kept his eyes on the front, occasionally using a clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation at the West City Gate.
The watchtower they are in is higher than the watchtowers around them, and they can see farther, and this special clairvoyant from Xuzhou is more refined than other clairvoyants in terms of lens polishing and knob adjustment.
This is a forbidden item that can only be used at the level of soldiers and horses, and the process technology is strictly forbidden to be leaked, nor is it allowed to be imitated, and each one produced has a number, which can be traced back to the source.
The momentum of the offensive is very good and smooth, especially after the use of small trebuchets and fire dragon cannons, the momentum of destruction is even more prominent, in just over an hour, it is already approaching the west city wall, and like the expansion of the two wings is also very smooth, so smooth that Wang Shouxin and Hong Kui feel as if the Caizhou army has suddenly lost its sharpness and tenacity.
But Chai Yong still felt a little confused.
Even if the Xuzhou army used a new type of miniaturized trebuchet and fire dragon cannon, these instruments are indeed very powerful in street battles with infantry soldiers who have undergone tactical synthesis training, but the Caizhou army inevitably performed too inferiorly, and did not show any bloody tenacity, which was somewhat inconsistent with the previous confrontation between the Xuzhou army and the Caizhou army.
Maybe the previous series of hard battles frustrated the momentum of the Caizhou army, but Chai Yong felt that the opponent's combat effectiveness would not decline so quickly, the Caizhou army was not an ant thief, it could only fight a smooth battle, this army grew up in countless vicious battles with the Liang and Xuzhou army, they are not bloodless and tenacious, this performance is more like there is a conspiracy inside.
"Two governors, what do you think of the current situation?" Seeing that his infantry had begun to attack the western city wall, Chai Yong's worries and doubts were even worse, but he needed to consult Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin's opinions.
"Is this Caizhou Army a little too weak?" Wang Shouxin has not fought with the Caizhou Army yet, but judging from the current situation, it is almost overwhelming.
Liu Yansi's forehead wrinkles were deep, and there was a wisp of incomprehension between his eyebrows, "Even if the Caizhou army wants to retreat, it shouldn't be like this, I thought it would be good to be able to hit the city wall at night, but I didn't expect the situation to be like this, the Caizhou army must have a plan." β
"The two governors both see it this way, and they are sure in their hearts, it seems that the Caizhou army is going to use the strategy of arrogance to give us a moment at a critical moment. Chai Yong's gaze also flew into the distance, "When we are about to win, suddenly come to us from both wings, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss." β
Liu Yansi smiled, "Lao Chai, aren't you prepared? They want to give us a beating, and we also want to give them a ruthless hand, everyone is thinking about each other, isn't it?"
"The two governors, I'm afraid that they will be too ruthless this time, and we will not be able to bear it. Chai Yong also smiled a little embarrassedly, "So ......"
"So you're going to assign us two tasks?" Wang Shouxin laughed fiercely, "Hehe, can Qilang eat it?" I rarely wait for this opportunity to kill once, and I don't want anyone else, just bring all my personal soldiers with me." β
"Hehe, since the Caizhou army wants to break through from both flanks, how can we not accompany us to the end? Liu Yansi had already put on his armor and helmet, and moved his body, "That little bit of magic power can't kill me, so I just take this opportunity to return it to them." β
Since it was finalized, Chai Yong didn't have any nonsense, and arranged for the two commanders to lead the troops of each department to be stationed at the high places on both wings, so that in case of the expected counter-breakthrough, they could intervene in time to contain it, especially Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin are both strong people in the small heavens, and they can give full play to the power of this kind of containment and killing.
In this round of warfare, Liu Yansi took the initiative to hand over the command to Chai Yong, considering that Chai Yong fought unevenly, which was more suitable for this kind of melee in the city than Liu Yansi's own long-term habit of leading the cavalry to fight in the wilderness, and Wang Shouxin also agreed with Liu Yansi's opinion, so this time the two armies were united, unified by Chai Yong's command, Hong Kui led the army to break through from the center, and the two governors were in charge of the response, and now it can be used.
Just when Chai Yong returned to the stage to observe, a fire shadow was ignited first on the south flank, and then two fire points appeared in a row on the north flank, and the Caizhou army started a counterattack with rockets first.
After being ambushed for a long time, the elite of the Caizhou Army, who had already been impatient, rushed out of many courtyards according to the established plan, and the leaders were all masters of the Heavenly Realm, and as soon as they struck, they were strong crossbows and magic weapons, without any reservations, and they were caught off guard by the Xuzhou Army in an instant.
Including Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Huaifang, Zhao Yonghui, Zhao Tong, Yuan Wenliang, and the junior Yuan clan and Zhao clan's children, all of them were dispatched to join the elites of each department, and they took the lead in attacking, using their super strength in martial arts to break the gap and set a record for the subsequent elite expansion of the results.
It should be said that the timing of the Caizhou army is very good, although before the battle, they have to warn the armies many times, but when the real momentum is like a bamboo, and when they are about to touch the fruits of victory, no one can hold it, especially like the Wuning army did not fight with the Caizhou army before, and there is no intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Caizhou army, so under the performance of the Caizhou army defeated in the first war, the other party feels that the other party is just like this, and the breakthrough speed is faster, which also makes the breakout of the various departments a little uneven, especially the arrow part that rushes too fast, and does not estimate the cover of the two wingsγ
More than ten arrows burst out from the two wings, piercing one after another, and the Xuzhou army felt pain in an instant.
The Xuzhou army, which was only concerned about rushing forward, suddenly encountered an attack from the flank, and inevitably encountered chaos, especially the Xuzhou army, which had arrived not far under the city wall, was bombarded by trebuchets and heavy crossbows from the city wall at the same time, and under the double blow, the Xuzhou army's offensive was suddenly reversed.
Hong Kui didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
The trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the city wall of the West Gate are almost crazy bombardment regardless of the cost, dozens of trebuchets and heavy crossbows are densely packed all over the city wall, and the city wall is also full of trebuchets, and I don't know how much money the Caizhou army spent to set up these trebuchets, and at the same time, the Caizhou army is also consciously prepared for the attack from the Xuzhou army.
Within a few hundred steps of the city wall of the West Gate, they had broken down several blockades, relying not only on these mansions and watchtowers densely packed with crossbowmen and infantry, but also a large number of magic arrays and spell traps.
When the Xuzhou army attacked only 500 steps from the Ximen city wall, it encountered much tougher resistance and counterattacks than before.
The trebuchets on the city wall threw an overwhelming amount of stones, the ballista winches creaked, and the crossbow arrows shot out with a terrifying sound of "boom!boom!boom!boom!", and the Xuzhou army encountered a super counterattack on this line.
Almost in less than a moment, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed in this sudden counterattack, and the ensuing flank attack from both flanks also made the Xuzhou army's offensive front precarious.
Zhao Tong's gilded pistol swept continuously, and the officer of the Xuzhou Army in front of him was swept off half of his head by him even wearing a helmet, and the red and white brains burst out, dyeing his armor, but he didn't care at all.
He enjoyed this kind of venting pleasure poured out after the backlog for too long, the gilded pistol was like a golden tyrannosaurus, not only swept wildly in the group of soldiers and soldiers surging from the Xuzhou army, these ordinary soldiers could not resist his gilded offensive at all, and the violent Xuan Qi accompanied by the impact of the gilded pistol stirred up the formation of the Xuzhou army on the opposite side.
It was not only Zhao Tong who was released emotionally, Yuan Wuwei was venting his anger.
The Dragon Flame Heavenly King Knife rolled up ten thousand waves of fire, and swept the dozens of Xuzhou soldiers in front of him, and the master of the recuperation period waved the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand in vain to cover his subordinates, but it was obviously in vain, just the sword shadow flashed, and the Dragon Flame Heavenly King Knife broke through the opponent's block, easily taking away a piece of flesh and blood from the opponent's throat, and by the way, harvesting the lives of the three soldiers who pounced on him beside him.
Half a step non-stop, Yuan Wuwei's body violently bullied forward, breaking into the sword and shield hand and spearman who had just had time to form a formation, the strong wind of the long knife shook more than ten crossbow arrows from the flank attack, and then punched, kicked and slashed, only three breaths of time, the three attack formations that had just had time to complete the formation were completely defeated, and the other defensive formation also completely collapsed under the slashing of his hard sword, without the assistance of magic crossbows and magic weapons, no one could resist the crazy attack of this small heaven powerhouse.
The offensive momentum of the Xuzhou army was too fast, so that the strong crossbowmen and magicians behind did not have time to keep up, which also became a major weakness.
Chai Yong had been observing the changes in the situation with a clairvoyant scope, and when the forward attack reached a strong counterattack five hundred paces from the city wall, he knew that the enemy's counterattack was coming.
Not surprisingly, the violent flanks on both flanks disrupted the follow-up offensive of the Xuzhou army at once, especially the assault led by several heavenly powerhouses and heavenly realm masters was extremely fierce, and the continuous interspersed agitation shattered the Xuzhou army's formation in the central part of the country in a few strokes.
Although the officers of the Xuzhou Army also tried to stabilize their positions, the Caizhou Army at this time came with promise, and once they found that the officers had organized a formation, they immediately forcibly launched a charge to kill the organizers, so that the formation could not run.
The situation seems to be developing to the detriment of the Xuzhou army.
Chai Yong's face remained unchanged, he just silently estimated the time, with Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin's response, there would not be much reversal on the frontal battlefield, at most it was a matter of time and casualties, he cared about the other side.
Turning his gaze to the corner where the west and south walls meet, the time is almost up.
