cpa300_4; Under the personal leadership of the two division commanders, the army quickly entered the city, and they formed a formation under the city walls and advanced towards the center of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoDue to the dense streets like cobwebs, low houses everywhere, and the originally neat infantry formations were divided and fragmented, in the end, the divisions and regiments had to cooperate in the form of squads, divided into flexible groups, and slowly searched for the enemy through the streets.
The defender of Durrant was quite tactful, relying on the familiarity of his soldiers with the city, he directly abandoned the defense of the city walls and scattered his forces into the city, and as a result, the army entered the city and landed.
After the Shouyang army also entered the city, the armies of the two sides entered the hand-to-hand combat, and those heavy equipment were useless, but fortunately, the Shouyang army was of higher quality and stronger, so they also occupied some advantages in skirmishes.
The Shouyang army was strong and well-trained, but the Durrant army had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and for a time the two sides were inseparable, and the casualty ratio almost reached the level of one to one. Looking at the casualty report sent, Wu Chengfeng frowned, every soldier under her command was quite precious, but it didn't cost her money in this meaningless street battle.
Wu Chengfeng circled back and forth in the camp twice, and then she said to the officer beside her, "Give an order immediately." ”
"Yes, are we sending reinforcements?" said the officer excitedly.
Wu Chengfeng shook his head: "Order all the troops entering the city, collect the remains and wounded of our soldiers, and withdraw from the city." ”
"What, ma'am, why did we withdraw when we had to storm the city?" asked the officer hurriedly.
"You don't have to worry about this, execute the order immediately, I can't watch the soldiers lose in the street fighting. Wu Chengfeng's order was beyond doubt, and the officer had no choice but to follow the order. Orders were given from level to level, and although the warriors did not understand why they were fighting so inexplicably, they received orders to retreat. However, the Shouyang army was well-trained and disciplined, and although they didn't know what this order was for, they still chose to carry it out resolutely.
The rearguard began to collect the bodies and wounded of their brothers, and carried them in an orderly manner towards the rear, and then the rear of the attacking army turned into a front team and retreated towards the city gates. In the face of the fierce attack of the Shouyang army and the skillful and tacit cooperation, the defenders of Durrant were already terrified, they had never encountered such a fighting force, but at a critical juncture, the other party actually retreated.
In addition to being surprised, the defenders only felt lucky, if they continued to fight like this, the Shouyang army would indeed suffer heavy casualties, but the defenders would not survive alone, such a situation was not what they wanted. The Shouyang army retreated, and the defenders were also relieved, and after only half an hour of resistance, the defenders had already suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
There was only one division of defenders in Kun Gong City, and a quarter of the casualties were lost in just half an hour, which was too astonishing, and according to the calculations of the guards, the casualties of the Shouyang army should be less than three thousand. It may seem that the casualties between the two sides are not very different, but in fact they are very different.
Now with the help of Yun Tianjiao, the Shouyang Army has a complete military medical system, each squad will have a junior healer, and in the brigade there is a medical team led by at least a senior healer, and there is even a medical sect in the division.
In addition to the healer's light of recovery, the army also carried a large number of drugs such as bandages, Yunnan Baiyao, penicillin, sulfonamides, etc., most of which had been put into mass production were kept secret from the outside world and were not sold to the outside world except for military use. It is precisely because of this guarantee that most of the wounded of the Shouyang Army can return to the battlefield as long as they are not fatally injured or disabled.
In the Durrant Empire, on the other hand, healers are not its specialty, and in the Durrant Army, there is only a small medical team at the division level. These treatment teams are small in number, the healers are of low rank, and the only people they can take care of are officers. As for those wounded soldiers, even if they were slashed in the arm and were not fatal, they could only grit their teeth and hold on. If you survive, you can continue to go to war, otherwise you will have to meet death, and in such a situation where there is no medical treatment, the survival rate of the wounded in the Durant Army is less than 5%.
"My lord, the armies of Fallen Feather City have all retreated. An officer reported to the division commander.
"What is the army of Luoyu City, such a strong combat effectiveness, it is clearly the army of Shouyang, it seems that Luoyu City is now completely merged with Shouyang City, and we are in big trouble. The division commander snorted coldly, but his eyes were full of worry.
"Divisional commander, are we going to retake the walls?" asked the officer again.
"Recapture the city wall?" The division commander looked up at the city wall and said: "No, that's exactly what the other party wants, once we recapture the city wall, they will attack us with those fire bombs again, so I won't be fooled." ”
"Division commander, what if we don't go to the city to defend and they use fire bombs to directly attack the city?" The officer's words made the division commander shiver, and today's battle could not be fought.
"Ma'am, the other side has not taken the city to defend it, what should we do?" reported an officer.
"They don't go to the city?" Wu Chengfeng frowned, it seems that the other party's guards are not stupid, they even thought that their purpose was to kill and injure the opponent's troops, so they didn't go to the city to defend.
"Since they don't go to the city, don't blame me for being ruthless, we don't plan to occupy this city for long anyway. Wu Chengfeng bit his jade lip lightly and said: "Order the whole army to climb the city wall, the heavy troops to block the city gate and the passage to the city, and dismantle those ballistae and bring them to the city." ”
"Yes, ma'am. The order was quickly conveyed, the troops of the two divisions moved quickly, the army began to fully occupy the city wall, and soon Wu Chengfeng also ascended to the top of the city.
"Madam, what should we do?" The two division commanders deployed their troops and came to Wu Chengfeng to ask for orders.
Wu Chengfeng smiled at the city and said: "You gather all the archers of the whole army, as long as there is a target in the city, you will snipe, in addition, all the ballistas will clean up the buildings in the city, and the catapults will be equipped with stone bullets to attack, and we will force those defenders out." ”
The defenders of the city were all hiding in their houses, and although they knew that they were doomed after losing the walls, at least they still had a chance to fight to the death, and they did not want to suffer from the long-range blows and flames of the other side in silence.
The division commander in charge of defending the city looked at the crowded Shouyang army on the city wall, and he sighed secretly, the Shouyang army is really well-trained and well-equipped, and it is not comparable to their army at all, it seems that all these soldiers under his command are going to be explained here. Fortunately, before the war, all the people in the city had been evacuated, so as not to suffer from the pond fish, which is why Wu Chengfeng dared to destroy the buildings in the city.
