Chapter 130: Offensive and Defensive Battle Outside Blackwater City

The walls of Blackwater City, from the outside, were much taller than most of the walls of Great Xia City.

The entire wall was more than fifteen meters high, and all of it was made of stone, which alone made it much stronger than the earthen walls.

No wonder the other party is so confident. Prepare to rely on the defensive superiority of the city's walls to fight against yourself. Grabbing

Wen Jiming took the binoculars, changed directions, and began to examine the camp under the other city.

It was almost noon, and the sky was clear, and there was no trace of floating clouds.

The warm sun shone on the earth without obstruction, bringing the warmth that had not been seen for months in this early spring March.

At this moment, a faint reflection attracted Wen Jiming's attention.

He hurriedly raised the telescope again, looked in the direction of the reflection, and finally saw on the roof of the building, a patchwork of the magic defense array, and it was not just this building.

In the next few minutes, Wen Jiming saw a lot of such magic array diagrams.

Obediently, he actually spent money to buy so many magic arrays, it seems that the other party's capital is not small.

This kind of magic defense array is obviously used to defend against falling area magic, which can greatly cancel out the attack power of these magic, so as to ensure that the soldiers under the building will not be directly hit by the area magic.

Fortunately, he brought the artillery unit this time, otherwise he might have suffered a small loss under this kind of magical defense.

At a glance, outside the other party's camp, those dense baffles and rejection horses.

Wen Jiming decided to start arranging the formation.

When the order was handed down, in less than twenty minutes, a standard five-line array of 130,000 people appeared two miles away from Blackwater City.

When the Ming line's front was set, Wen Jiming ordered the whole army to advance one kilometer.

With the drumbeat of the military band, the entire army of more than 100,000 began to march forward in a neat manner. Then a noise came from the camp opposite, apparently the quality of the Ming army caused a sensation among the defending soldiers on the opposite side.

The army stopped a kilometer from the camp opposite, and then all of them did not move.

At this time, they were all waiting for the 1st Artillery Brigade to set up temporary artillery positions on the front line.

Ten minutes later, Wen Jiming was told that the artillery positions had been built and all the artillery pieces were in place.

Wen Jiming looked at the camp on the opposite side and found that the defenders did not have Daming's formation at all, so he made any response. Obviously, he thinks that his defensive battalion is enough to deal with any means of attack.

So he gave orders to the heralds beside him.

"Order the artillery to fire three salvos first."

When the artillery commander heard the order, he immediately gave the command in a loud voice.

"All of them, pretend to shoot all the yuan! Directly in front of the target, at a distance of one thousand meters, No. 4 charge, three rapid fires, ready to ~~ put! ”

When the command of the artillery commander was given, all the gun emplacements began to shout the command.

"Ready~~ put!"

Seventy-five artillery pieces made a huge sound like earth-shattering at the same time, and the large battalion on the opposite side was instantly covered by the flames that rose when dozens of shells exploded, and after three volleys, the fortifications in front of the battalion had become a mess.

The sudden artillery strike made the defenders completely lose the ability to think, and a large number of shouts for help came from the camp, clearly indicating that the enemy soldiers defending in front of the camp were beginning to collapse.

After Wen Jiming raised his binoculars to take a look at the effects of the shelling, he gave the order again.

"Order the artillery, and at the same time carry out the destruction and extension of the shelling!"

As the order was delivered, the artillery of the 1st Artillery Brigade began to split into two groups, one for extended artillery fire and one for destroying the remaining enemy defensive offensive.

After more than a dozen rounds of shelling, Wen Jiming issued an order to attack after issuing the "Divine Blessing Technique".

"Order the 1st and 2nd Divisions to begin attacking from the front, the Mage Regiment to take cover, and order the 3rd and 4th Divisions to make flank detours, and the cavalry to spread out to the enemy's flanks to monitor the enemy's possible breakthrough actions at any time."

After the order to attack was given, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions began to rush towards the enemy camp in formation, and at the same time, the mages and priests of the 1st Regiment of Mages also rose into the air and began to provide cover for the soldiers on the ground.

The dense gunfire soon came from the front, and Wen Jiming released dozens of "mage eyes" at the same time and began to monitor the battle in front in real time. ε·˜ζˆ… chasing books to see ZhISh&#ζˆ…

As can be seen from the magic mirror, the enemy's defensive strength in front of the camp has been completely lost, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are now attacking the depths of the enemy's camp.

The first battalion of Ma Chao's first brigade was at the forefront of the whole army at this time.

The first battalion, originally a heavy infantry formation, had been converted into a musketeer formation two months earlier, and thanks to the latest rifles equipped with bayonets, the musketeers were now fully equipped with melee functions.

The only difference between Ma Chao's 1st Battalion and those real musketeers was that all their officers and men were equipped with their beloved daggers.

Ma Chao didn't have the slightest worry at the moment, because not far behind him, there was Benjamin, the commander of their Twelfth Order Great Defense Brigade, who was a completely invincible existence in this battlefield.

After the First Army advanced more than 800 meters in the camp of the allied forces in the Nine Counties, the army of Great Xia finally organized a super-large-scale counteroffensive, which finally stopped the offensive of the Ming army.

A large number of bows and arrows began to shoot at the mages floating in the air, forcing them to fall to the ground so as not to be targeted by the large number of archers and suffer from the fire, while the mages behind them were raised in the air in order to leave the range of these Great Xia archers.

Tens of thousands of enemies began to emerge from the camp in front of them, rushing towards the forward battalion of the Ming army, and Ma Chao, as the battalion commander, had no choice but to order the troops to form a three-line formation in place and use three-stage strikes to guard this temporary position.

However, this phenomenon did not last long, and with the addition of Daming's continuous follow-up troops, the firepower gradually became more and more fierce.

When the counter-attacking forces of Great Xia rushed to thirty meters away from the Ming army, they could no longer continue to break through, but were annihilated by more and more rifle fire.

When there were no more Daxia soldiers on this battlefield, the open space in front of the First Brigade of the Ming Dynasty was already full of corpses of Daxia soldiers, and more than 10,000 Daxia soldiers lost their lives here.

The mages near the 1st Brigade immediately applied a recovery spell to the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and it was very amazing that when the priests tried to find the wounded, they found that none of the officers and soldiers in the brigade were injured!

Grabbing. It wasn't until a few minutes later that a high-level mage discovered the secret, it turned out to be their brigade commander of the Great Defense War, who applied the skill of damage transfer to all officers and soldiers, so that everyone did not suffer a trace of damage.

And these transferred injuries are simply equivalent to the level of tickling for the defense of the twelfth order, so naturally they can't cause him any damage.

The high-ranking mage immediately told everyone about his discovery, and directly made Benjamin the idol of the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade.

With the 3rd and 4th Divisions in place, the Ming army realized the encirclement of the entire camp of the Great Xia Alliance, and the general offensive finally began.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the army of the Nine Counties Alliance, with heavy casualties, could no longer resist the offensive of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty, and began to retreat in the direction of its only rear road, the Blackwater City Gate.

ε·˜ζˆ…ηŽ©ε§waar. ET ζˆ…. After Wen Jiming saw from the magic mirror that all the Great Xia troops had withdrawn to Blackwater City, he directly ordered to stop the pursuit.

And at the same time ordered the siege of Blackwater City. Build fortifications around the perimeter of the city to prevent the enemy from breaking out at any time.

After ordering the Fifth Division Oakes to clean up the battlefield, Wen Jiming moved his headquarters forward, to a position only 800 meters away from the city gate, and established a new headquarters camp.

At the same time, he ordered the First Artillery Brigade to set up a temporary artillery position in front of him 200 meters, and this time he was ready to eat all of the 380,000 allied troops in Great Xia, so as to achieve the goal of shocking the world.

It was because of this idea that he ordered the siege of Blackwater City to prevent the troops of the Nine Counties Alliance from breaking out.

About an hour later, the battle casualty report was finally counted.

None of the Ming soldiers died, but the bodies of 170,000 Daxia soldiers were found on the battlefield, and about 40,000 wounded soldiers were found.

These wounded soldiers were quickly treated by the Ming priests, and basically all of them were healed of their injuries, and only more than a hundred unlucky ones lost their lives because they had no time to be treated.

Wen Jiming immediately informed the whole army that he was ready to launch a general attack on Blackwater City in an hour.
