Chapter 469: Faith Exhausted

In the camp of the Red Army, Wang Han was watching the battle with his eyes raised, his expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited, but the other Red generals all had solemn expressions, clenching their fists one by one, as if they were also desperate on the battlefield.

Seeing that his siege infantry had basically advanced under the city wall, Wang Han slowly raised his hand and said, "Where is General Xuanyuan?"

"The end will be!" Xuanyuan Fang hurriedly replied.

"Send your archers and cavalry to suppress the Jin army at the head of the city, and help my siege soldiers!" Wang Han's gaze always fell on the battlefield in front of him, and he said without turning his head.

"The last general obeys the order!" Xuanyuan Fang agreed, and then ordered the deputy general to personally lead 30,000 archers into the battlefield.

The Jin army, which was fighting with the Red Army, also saw another cavalry in the Red Army camp, and the Jin Army reacted quickly, organizing troops as soon as possible and releasing arrows to block the cavalry that was galloping over.

However, the speed of the red horse was too fast, and the 30,000 cavalry galloped on the battlefield as if it were spinning gold, and the Jin army only fired two rounds of arrows, and the red cavalry rushed into their ideal range.

Heng Yun, the deputy general of the Tianwei Army, took the lead in running in the front, as the leading horse, he ran wildly with 30,000 cavalry, and when Su Yue had entered their best range, Heng Yun suddenly changed his direction and led a group of cavalry to run around the city.

While riding their horses and galloping, they took off their bows and arrows, aimed them at the head of Suyue City, and began to shoot indiscriminately.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

A series of eagle arrows flew out from the horse team, like flying locusts, rushed to the city, the top of the front and the red army under the city was desperately fighting with the Jin army was not prepared, one after another was suddenly shot up by the arrow hit, just in an instant, the arrow fell to the ground Jin army is no less than 100 people, many people are in the chest with several arrows. Killed on the spot.

Facing the Red Archer Cavalry running around the city, the Jin army defending the city really didn't have a very good way to deal with them, the Red Cavalry was fast, the Jin army shot out an arrow, and it couldn't hit the target at all, and the arrows often flew behind the buttocks of other people's war horses. Even if you can sometimes shoot the Red Army, there is a chance that you will be blind.

Under the suppression of the archers, the Jin army at the head of the city could hardly raise its head, and in order to avoid the arrows that kept flying up, people either set up shields or hid behind the arrow stacks, but in this way, the Red infantry under the city were not enough to attack.

Taking advantage of the gap when the Jin army was suppressed, the Red Army under the city rushed up with all their might. Soon, siege warfare turned into hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that the soldiers of his besieging infantry had been killed in large numbers at the head of the city, and the task of the archers and cavalry had been completed, Heng Yun waved his hand and shouted: "Withdraw!" The 30,000 cavalry rushed back to the Red Army camp like a whirlwind.

At this time, all the generals in the red camp breathed a sigh of relief, and Xuanyuan Fang's face also showed a smile, and he turned his head to peek at Wang Han. The latter's face was still calm, and he did not add any more joy because of his own advantages.

Joy and anger are invisible, and the landslide is in front of you and the face does not change. Presumably the general is like this. Xuanyuan Fang arched his hand and said with a smile: "General, it seems that in one more hour, our army will be able to attack the city." ”

Wang Han was noncommittal, watched for a while, pouted, and whispered to the entourage beside him, "I'm thirsty." ”

The attendant immediately took out the teapot that had been prepared in advance. He poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Wang Han. The latter took it, took a sip, and the tea was lukewarm or cold. He smiled, "The temperature is just right."

The Red Army attacked the head of Suyue City and fought face-to-face with the Jin army. The battle has reached this level, and the Jin army has already lost half of it, and the situation is precarious.

At this time, even the seriously injured Lin Haotian could not sit on the collapse, he ignored the obstruction of the generals and guards, held the Xuantie Han Halberd, and joined the battle group.

Lin Haotian is now covered with wounds all over his body, and his dark qi is exhausted, not only can he not release his martial arts skills, even if he swings a halberd, the wounds all over his body are in severe pain.

Lin Haotian's endurance was amazingly strong, and there was no possibility for others to fight again in this situation, but he was still able to swing his double knives up and down, as if he was fine.

His halberd has long been covered with spiritual energy, and every time he kills an enemy soldier, he can absorb some spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy he inhales cannot be stored in his body, and it is basically used up immediately after sucking, and it is all used to stop the bleeding from his wounds.

As he entered the battle, his body began a series of vigorous movements, and the wounds that had not healed burst open again, and if the bleeding could not be stopped in time, the bleeding alone could drain all the blood in his body.

In the case of not being able to use aura, the power of Lin Haotian's twin swords is still terrifying, and just by walking away, he can make the surrounding Red Army fall in a row.

As the commander of the whole army, Lin Haotian still gritted his teeth with injuries and insisted on fighting, how could the soldiers of the Jin Army not be inspired and fight to the death with the enemy?

The Red Army attacked quickly, but it was killed faster, batches of Red Army were killed by the Jin Army at the head of the city, and more Red Army troops did not even stand firm on their feet, they were pushed down the city wall alive by the Jin Army, wailing and falling.

The battle did not end in as soon as Xuanyuan expected, but dragged on longer and longer.

Outside the city wall, the corpses of the Red Army were piled up, and on the city wall, the corpses of the Jin Army and the Red Army were stacked on top of each other, and the ground of the entire city wall was completely covered with corpses, and there was no place to find a clean place to stay.

This was a veritable bloody battle, the Red Army bravely rushed to the city again and again, but was suppressed again and again by the more heroic Jin Army, and the two sides began an endless tug-of-war.

An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, now this sentence has been most appropriately interpreted, and the soldiers on both sides can pay dozens or even hundreds of lives in order to seize a small amount of land.

As the battle continued, the faces of the generals in the red camp began to look ugly again, and people exchanged heads and ears, and finally, their eyes fell on Wang Han.

Wang Han was unmoved, he drank tea without a sip, and when the siege infantry in front of him gradually showed a weak trend, he sent an order to the left and right, and the second group of siege soldiers went up to replace the first batch of ten siege corps.

Under his order, another 10 corps of the new force of the Red Kingdom were thrown into the battlefield, and the 10 corps that had fought with the Jin army to exhaustion quickly withdrew from the battlefield and withdrew to their own positions.

Ten corps, 100,000 people, when they were withdrawn, they were counted again, and there were already 40,000 casualties, which can also be seen the fierceness of this battle.

For the besieging Red Army, the battle was tantamount to a new restart, and for the Jin Army, what followed was a more difficult fierce battle.

The soldiers of the Jin army at the head of the city were all covered in blood and panting at this time, but they did not have time to rest, and the attack of the red army outside the city came again.

The battle seemed to be a copy of what had just happened, the Red Army advanced, the Jin Army defended to the death, and the arrows on both sides continued to shoot back and forth, and then the Red Army sent archers to suppress it, helping their siege infantry to rush to the city smoothly. Siege warfare has turned into hand-to-hand combat under the step-by-step order.

This fierce battle was fought until it was dark, and seeing that the time was not early, Wang Han ordered the siege to be suspended and the whole army withdrew to the camp.

On the first day of the battle, the Jin army resisted the 200,000 Red Army attacking the city with 50,000 and did not retreat, and finally withstood it.

In this day's fierce fighting, the casualties of the Red Army were close to 60,000, and the casualties of the Jin Army were also more than 20,000.

Wang Han finally saw the brave and fierce side of the Jin army, but he was not worried, the first day of the battle was just a pathfinder, and he was confident that he would win Suyue in one fell swoop in the second day's battle.

After returning to the camp, the red generals were all depressed, ashamed and sorry for failing to take Suyue, but Wang Han was smiling and full of confidence, and in turn comforted the generals, originally he thought that it might take three days to break through Suyue, but now it seems that two days is enough.

Wang Han knew very well in his heart, yes, his own casualties in the first day of the battle were not small, but the Jin army's casualties could not be ignored, and in comparison, the fatigue of the Jin army's soldiers was far better than his own, after the first day of bloody battles, the next battle was much easier.

In fact, just as Wang Han expected, after only one day of fighting, forty percent of the rolling wood, rocks and fire oil prepared by the Jin army were used, and nearly half of the casualties were lost.

Now up and down the Jin army, except for Lin Haotian, no one has the confidence that this battle can continue.

That night, all the generals came to Lin Haotian and persuaded him to withdraw his troops, preferably directly to Twin Peaks. (To be continued......)
