Chapter 714: Stubborn Resistance

readx;

Goro, Godnimiaro, the capital of Besa. Like Shangjing, it is divided into Goro City and Goro District, with a population www.biquge.info of more than one million, and is the largest city in Besa, with an economic, cultural, religious, political and military center.

In the face of the menacing wind army, the royal court of Besa showed its determination to die unyieldingly, King Peter did not run, and neither did the generals and ministers of the royal court.

However, the Holy See behaved much more panicked than the royal court, and before the wind army reached Goro, the Pope had already fled Goro with a group of bishops and took refuge in the city-state of Sudar in the north.

Of course, there is a reason why the Holy See is so frightened, the wind army has always shown great disgust with the religion of Besa, and after conquering a place, whether it is slaughtered or not, the first thing is to destroy the local church and kill all the clergy.

How could the Pope and his bishops stay in Goro stupidly, waiting for the Wind Army's sword to slash at his neck.

Now Goro City has become a completely isolated city, with no reinforcements to count on, and can only rely on its own strength to resist the wind army.

The day after the arrival of the 4th Army of the Zhenjun Army in Goro, the Wind Army launched an all-out onslaught on the Goro area.

In the temporary central military tent in front of the Feng Army, the spies were like marquees, constantly passing back the battle reports of various armies. The strategists and staff gathered around the table, busy going around, carefully outlining the new battle situation on the map. Tree such as the web address: heiyaпge off the mouth of the heart chapter

Shangguan Xiu, Meng Qiuchen, Guangfang, Duan Qiyue, Zhao Chen and others stood in front of the table, Meng Qiuchen pointed to the map and said: "The First Army Corps that mainly attacked the North City and the Second Army Corps that attacked the South City are advancing quite smoothly now, and the West City side of the Fourth Army is facing the main force of the enemy defenders, this is a tough battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spy hurriedly walked into the Chinese military tent and handed a few battle reports to Zhao Chen. The latter took it and looked at it, with a happy face, handed over the battle report to Shangguan Xiu, and said: "Brother Xiu, the first and second corps of the Fourth Army have successfully opened the outer defense line of Xicheng, and are currently launching a fierce attack on Goro's Xicheng!"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked down at several battle reports, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Yoshisuke fought beautifully this battle!"

He said to Zhao Chen: "Chuan Yifu, if his Fourth Legion can take the lead in breaking through Goro's city defenses, I can give him a million silver, and let him reward the whole army by himself!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Chen showed excitement on his face, and excitedly agreed, and handed down Shangguan Xiu's general order and passed it on to the Fourth Legion.

Meng Qiuchen frowned, looking at the annotations on the map, his face changed, the Xicheng that the Fourth Army was mainly attacking had already been heavily deployed by the defenders, how could it be so vulnerable and be broken through the defense line so quickly?

He raised his head and said, "General Zhao?"

"The subordinates are here!" Zhao Chen responded.

Meng Qiuchen asked, "Are there only two corps that broke through the defense line of Xicheng, and where are the rest of the corps?"

Zhao Chen picked up a few battle reports again, looked at them carefully, and replied: "Military division, the rest of the corps are fighting bloody battles with the Besa Army in the Xicheng defense line, only the officers and men of the first and second corps are the most heroic, taking the lead in breaking through the enemy's defense line, General An has now ordered the third, fifth, and sixth corps to follow the broken defense line and rush inward, I believe that they will soon be able to merge with the brothers of the first and second corps!"

"Hmm!" Meng Qiuchen's tightly locked brows eased slightly, and he nodded slowly, if only two corps went deep into the enemy's defense line, there was a danger of being completely annihilated by the enemy, if all five corps entered it, it would be the foundation of shaking the enemy's defense line outside the city, and the enemy army would be defeated, and the fourth army would take the lead in penetrating the defense of Goro City and entering Goro City, which was also a matter of course.

The battle ahead was smooth, Shangguan Xiu's expression seemed very relaxed, and he looked at the map for a while, and asked the little maid An Rong to bring tea and discuss the battle situation with everyone while drinking tea.

Tang Ling sat in the handsome seat, looking at Shangguan Xiu, who was chatting and laughing with all the generals and strategists, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

She knew that this battle was very difficult to fight, and the battle of the trapped beasts of the Besa people should not be underestimated, but when she saw Shangguan Xiu in the crowd, she felt relieved, as if no matter how difficult it was, as long as he was there, she could overcome it.

By noon, the battle report in front of me was transmitted back like snowflakes.

The First and Second Legions had already smashed the northern and southern defenses of Goro, and a large number of defenders of the capital gave up resistance and fled into Goro, while the Fourth Army, which had been progressing extremely well, encountered a crisis.

The 3rd, 5th, and 6th Corps of the Fourth Army originally planned to penetrate deep into the Xicheng defense line and join the 1st and 2nd Corps, but at this time, the Besa Army counterattacked the Xicheng defense line that was penetrated by the 1st and 2nd Corps and recaptured the position, and the 3rd Corps of the 4th Corps were repelled by the Besa Army that held the defensive line.

In this way, the Besa Army was tantamount to trapping the officers and men of the first and second corps in the defenders' defensive lines. The two corps were surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, and the situation was so critical that it was conceivable that the entire army could be annihilated at any time.

After seeing these battle reports, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the Chinese military tent became tense again, and no one laughed anymore, or sketched on the map, or stood aside, frowning, and silent.

Shangguan Xiu put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Why is the regiment sent by Yifu to meet the enemy still unable to penetrate the enemy's defense line?"

Zhao Chen lowered his head and said: "The defenders are stubborn, and several corps of our army are attacking in turn, but they are ......"

"Then why were the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Corps able to easily break through the Xicheng defensive line?"

Yes, how could the Xicheng defense line, which was still vulnerable just now, become impregnable after such a while? Zhao Chen couldn't understand the reason, and was silent.

Meng Qiuchen sighed and said faintly: "The reason why the first and second corps can easily penetrate the defense line west of the city should be that the defenders deliberately put the two corps deep into the defense line, and then close the door to fight the dogs and catch turtles in the urn!"

This is a risky and careless way to not only fail to close the door, but also to cause the front of the Besa line to collapse. The commander of the Besa army stationed in the western city is very bold and confident, and can be called a fierce opponent of his side.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, then turned his head sideways and shouted, "Fang!"

"The last general!" Guangfang agreed, intervening to give a salute. Shangguan Xiu said: "You immediately lead the gendarmerie to rush to the aid of the Fourth Legion, no matter what, you must also open the Xicheng defense line for me, and rescue the trapped 20,000 brothers!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Guangfang shook off his robe and strode out of the Chinese military tent. Shangguan Xiu's gaze fell back on the map, and after a moment, he asked, "Chen, who is the lord of Gorosi City?"

"It's Duke Will Prologs, brother of King Peter. Zhao Chen replied: "However, according to our report, Will Prologis is just a gentleman, and he has no military talent, and he has always done ......."

"What are they?"

"Yes...... Chancellor of the Exchequer!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Zhao Chen, and said, "In this way, our Fourth Army is a makeshift patchwork army led by the Finance Minister of Besa, and it is so passive?!" After speaking, even he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

Zhao Chen's expression was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. The commander-in-chief on the opposite side was only a finance minister and a civilian official, and the Fourth Army Corps, instead of breaking through the enemy's defensive line, was trapped by two corps, which was really a great shame.

After more than half an hour, the front again sent back the battle report, the gendarmerie headed by Guangfang, together with the 3rd Corps and the 5th Corps of the Fourth Army Corps, after attacking the enemy's defensive line, encountered a fierce counterattack by the Besa army, and suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers were now engaged in a bloody battle with the counterattacking Besa army.

Guangfang's participation in the battle did not reverse the passive situation of the Fourth Legion, which made Shangguan Xiu unable to sit still. How could Goro's defenders of the western city be so stubborn, and how could the battle be so fierce?

Meng Qiuchen said in a low voice: "If you wait until nightfall, you can't break the Xicheng defense line, or you can't pick up the first and second corps, then I'm afraid these two corps won't be able to come out!"

Shangguan Xiu understood what he meant, his face was solemn, and he asked, "What time is it?"

"Afternoon Shen Shi!"

"There's no time!" Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and said to Duan Qiyue: "Old Duan, gather the brothers of the Shadow Banner and prepare to fight with me!"

"Yes, Brother Xiu!" Duan Qiyue had already been rubbing his fists and palms beside him, and when he heard Shangguan Xiu's order, he immediately responded and walked out quickly.

The Shadow Banner personnel are all dark spirit cultivators, and the dark spirit cultivators are not suitable for fighting in front of the two armies, but now there are really no soldiers available on the side of the Wind Camp, and Shangguan Xiu can only put the shadow flag into the battlefield.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was about to go out in person, Tang Ling stood up, walked to his approach, waved to a gendarme who was wearing armor for Shangguan Xiu, signaling him to retreat, and then she silently helped Shangguan Xiu tie the rope buckle on his armor.

Shangguan Xiu was wearing the leather armor of an ordinary soldier, and there was only a row of rope buckles on the side of the ribs, which was easy to tie. After a short time, after the rope buckle was tied, Tang Ling pulled hard again, feeling that the armor was very strong, so she slowly let go, raised her head, and looked at Shangguan Xiu.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu was also looking at her, even if she didn't say a word, through her eyes, he could see her worry.

In the Chinese military tent, there are so many generals, strategists, and guards around, and the two of them don't say much, they just look at each other silently, and no one speaks, but it is worth a thousand words.

Tang Ling took out a red sweat towel from his cuffs and tied it to the rope buckle of his armor, while whispering, "Be careful." ”

Shangguan Xiu suppressed the urge to embrace her, looked down at the sweat towel tied on his side, he smiled at Tang Lingwei, nodded again, and then without delay, turned around and walked out of the Zhongjun tent.

Outside, Duan Qiyue had already gathered more than 100 shadow flag personnel and stood in line next to the Chinese military tent.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu come out, Duan Qiyue hurriedly stepped forward and intervened and asked, "Brother Xiu, shall we leave now?"

Shangguan Xiu temporarily changed his mind and said: "Old Duan, you take some of your brothers to stay, the Chinese military tent is too close to the front line, and the troops are insufficient, once you encounter the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But, Brother Xiu, I'm ......" Although the Shadow Banner personnel have always been fighting with the army, they basically belong to the cold bench in the army, killing the enemy before the battle, and it has little to do with them, and now he finally has the opportunity to go into battle, Duan Qiyue is very excited, and is planning to show his skills when he will show his skills, but he didn't expect that Brother Xiu let himself stay in the camp again.
