Section 210 Dawn Attack
After the arrangements were completed, the commanders of the various armies left one after another.
The Sorcerer representatives have also left, and they also need to bring these tactical intentions back with them, so that the Sorcerers are ready to cooperate with the army.
Chai Yong breathed a sigh of relief, there were only four of them left in the hall.
This battle is not allowed to be defeated, the Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army are combined, more than 50,000 people, and they can't take 30,000 Caizhou Army, which is a shame anyway.
Starting from the Gushi Army, Caizhou seems to be the bitter master of his own side, and the two sides have won and lost, but before the Gushi Army and the Huaiyou Army were far inferior to the other party in terms of strength, or the timing was not coincidental, but this time, such a good opportunity, it is not good to avenge the arrow, then it is really difficult to explain.
Moreover, a large number of equipment and magician forces have also been replenished, and it can be said that they have the upper hand in all aspects, and the only disadvantage is that the other party is on the defensive, with a slight advantage, but this is not enough to change the general trend of both sides.
"Liulang, it seems that this battle is not easy to fight, although we have the advantage, but the enemy's strength in the point is very strong, I have to admit that the Caizhou Yuan family is very unique in cultivating the younger generation, and the Xue family, the Zhao family and the He family are not weak, and they are very similar to Caizhou. ”
Wang Shouxin sighed, the Wang family wants to say that the branches are scattered, and the people of the family are not small, although there are also a few outstanding talents, but compared to the Yuan family, it is simply incomparable, especially in the talent training ladder can not be compared at all, his brother did not bother in this regard at all, look at the talents of the Yuan family in Caizhou, you know that Caizhou can rise in the Central Plains is not accidental.
"It's sure that it's not easy to fight, otherwise why would the Caizhou army dare to stay?" Liu Yansi folded his hands, "If you want to say that the strength of our side is not weak, but it can't be used in a centralized manner, they are all generals with troops, at this point, it is our weakness, it is conceivable that the Caizhou army will definitely use their cutting-edge masters with magic weapons and other things to launch a blockade, and we must be prepared to pay the price." ”
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the magician's side must go all out, on the battlefield, there are soldiers, don't think that you can fall behind as a shrinking turtle. Hong Kui said in a deep voice: "The two governors, General Chai, want to bring an assault force, choose a suitable location, break through, snipe, in short, to find an opportunity to break through, in addition to Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Huaiqing, the Caizhou army is a strong person in the small heavenly position, Yuan Huaifang, Zhao Yonghui and Yuan Wuxing are still in the late stage of consolidation, and have not yet entered the threshold of the small heavenly position, so they feel that this point can be used, don't they want to use their new masters to block it? Then I will give them a counterattack to kill!"
Hong Kui's words were cold and hard, his face was full of hideousness, and he looked like he was choosing people to devour, but Liu Yansi, Wang Shouxin, and Chai Yong all nodded slightly after contemplating and thinking, Wu Ningjun has Wang Shouxin to command the overall situation, Hong Kui can let go and release force, in this kind of narrow urban street battle, a small heavenly powerhouse like him can indeed play a special role at a critical time.
"Well, this idea can be tried, Lao Hong can choose one, like the masters in the cavalry who are temporarily useless, and there are also in the infantry army on rotation, see if there are suitable candidates, and then select some soldiers to intersperse breakthroughs ,......" Wang Shouxin agreed first, and the other two nodded in approval.
"Then so-and-so went to prepare, after being aggrieved for so long, it was time to break out. Hong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that these people would not agree.
Dawn.
Almost in a few breaths, on several fronts, the long-dormant Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army, which had just been in place, launched the most ferocious offensive since the beginning of the war at the same time.
As soon as the sky was bright, it was even a little numb and black, like several thick spearheads, launching a fierce charge and interspersing along the east and north to the west and south.
Even if you know that the Xuzhou army will launch an attack in the near future, but a huge army, stationed at various nodes, it is impossible to maintain a high degree of vigilance all the time, and that kind of tight string will only break for no reason, so under the high alert for several days, the soldiers will inevitably have some slackness, not to mention that the enemy army chose the dawn, and this time is precisely the time when the defenders who have been vigilant all night are the most lax.
The first few army assault battalions almost immediately pulled out a few nails that were originally choked in key parts, watchtowers and watchtowers were directly attacked, and the crazy strong crossbow team rushed through the streets and alleys under the cover of the infantry brothers.
This almost brutal attack achieved excellent results immediately, and several important areas were conquered in succession.
They were followed by a large number of small catapults and heavy ballistae, and it was time for them to show their skills when they were held back by enemy positions.
The miniaturization of catapults has long been there, mainly to facilitate the use of infantry marching, although the large catapults are powerful, but there is always a process of loading and dismantling, and secondly, it is too late in the face of temporary enemy attacks, so small catapults began to appear along with the mule pulling and walking, and this time it can come in handy in the street battles in the city.
Once the enemy is blocked, then three or five catapults will quickly stand up, and the bowl-sized stone bullets will quickly begin to be fired.
Or it is a direct bombardment of small fire dragon cannons, and the cannons with fireworks are overwhelming, and the entire house or watchtower can be ignited in a few breaths, and the infantry soldiers around the periphery are supplemented by strong crossbows to shoot intensively, at this time, the advantage of troops can be completely revealed, and one by one, the fortress strongholds that were originally rock-solid in the eyes of the Caizhou army can be gnawed down.
When the dense breakthrough came from all fronts, Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei were in a hurry.
They considered that the Xuzhou army would launch a full-scale attack, and also thought that the enemy might use the superiority of equipment and magic to carry out a breakthrough, but they did not expect that the enemy would play so skillfully and perfectly in this kind of coordinated attack method, and many of the spell prohibitions and traps that they had originally set up on the strongholds, fortresses, and guard towers were destroyed by the enemy in such a wild and rude way.
Whether it is a trebuchet or a fire dragon cannon, this miniaturized long-range weapon has exerted unimaginable power in urban warfare, and all kinds of preparations made by the Caizhou army before are aimed at the enemy's possible use of infantry to attack, and may use the advantage of strength to push hard, but I didn't expect the Xuzhou army to be prepared, using this means to violently destroy, and not giving their own magic traps and prohibitions any chance at all.
This situation was completely unforeseen by the Caizhou army before, and the Xuzhou army's offensive this round was like a storm, continuous, and there was no respite for the Caizhou army at all, so the Caizhou army was dizzy, almost from dawn to afternoon, it achieved a breakthrough on the whole line, directly defeated the 20,000 Caizhou army, and pressed it to the range of less than 2,000 steps centered on the west gate, and the offensive was still like a tide, and the lost territory was still increasing.
In a word, the Caizhou army was stunned by the sudden outbreak of attacks by the Xuzhou army, and the previous preparations did not have the expected effect at all, which directly led to the rout of many fronts.
"Uncle Qing, you can't wait any longer, you have to launch a counterattack!" Yuan Wuwei's face was gloomy and terrifying, and Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui were also pale.
No one thought that this situation would occur, considering that the enemy's offensive would be very fierce, but they didn't expect it to be like this, if they didn't fight back immediately, once the enemy finished the West Gate, I am afraid that their trebuchets, fire dragon cannons and other long-range strike weapons will show more power, and may even directly destroy the West Gate This section of the city wall and the city gate tower, in that case, the Caizhou army has no way to rely on, and can only retreat.
"That's right, you really need to fight back immediately to contain the enemy's offensive. Yuan Wuxing interjected, but at this time, he was not as depressed and angry as these people, and he was extremely calm, "But how can we fight back,......?"
The atmosphere was about to freeze, Yuan Wuxing's words tore apart the previously concealed facts, the assault team led by Yuan Wenqing and Yuan Wenxi was almost covered by the enemy's fire dragon cannon without any warning, and the assault group that launched a counterattack in order to avoid the fire dragon cannon was subjected to the full coverage of the magic crossbow and intensive fire, Yuan Wenqing was seriously injured, Yuan Wenxi was killed on the spot, this result almost made Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Huaifang collapse.
No one could accept such an outcome, and it was a blow without any warning, and if a decent counterattack was not made, this Caizhou army would really be swept away.
"Old Seven, how do you think we should fight back?" Yuan Wuwei suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice.
"The frontal hard bar is not appropriate, the enemy has the advantage of strength, the magic and equipment are also superior, and the hard bar we have lost too much. Yuan Wuxing frowned, "If you can properly strengthen the defenses on the north and south sides, and at the same time get out of the way, let its protrusion in, and then launch a flanking attack from both sides, maybe you can fight a counterattack." ”
"Maybe we can fight a counterattack?" Yuan Wenliang's face was gloomy, obviously very dissatisfied with Yuan Wuxing's attitude, "Now that the Xuzhou army is gaining momentum, once they get out of the way, they may be beaten down by the city gate all at once!"
