Chapter 104: The First Battle of the Army

At four o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, and the horn of war was already sounding. Keynes actually ignored the long journey and the hard work of the combined army, and ordered a sneak attack on Shiyang Pass at night, apparently relying on the absolute superiority of numbers, and did not take the defenders of Shiyang Pass into account at all.

The good news of Qingshan Pass and the news that the leading generals were promoted to two levels in a row had reached him at the same time last night, and the first merit of this war had been taken, and he was thinking in his heart that he would quickly decide to get a second merit, get rid of the assassination camp as soon as possible, and be a general.

Keynes can be called a natural killer, and the power, wealth, and sex that ordinary men pursue are not his favorites, so it can be said that his only interest is to kill.

And war is undoubtedly the fastest and most way to kill, and the thought of countless heads falling to the ground because of his own orders, Keynes only felt that his blood was boiling, and an inexplicable excitement snatched all his nerve endings.

However, he didn't seem to know what a terrible opponent he had attracted from the killing he had done the other day.

With the experience of being attacked by night some time ago, this time Qiu Guangqi can be said to be in a tight position. Coupled with the large number of deployments made with the help of Shi Di and others the day before, the chances of winning this battle to defend the city have been greatly improved.

At this moment, the lights up and down Shiyang Pass were bright, and 8,000 elite archers were densely distributed on the city wall and fence, and there were even a group of four mecha soldiers operating the borrowing car, catapult and crossbow car, and the cannon muzzle of the black hole hole and the sharp arrows were aimed at the combined army under the city.

Shi Di stood beside Qiu Guangqi, looking at the combined forces that had been densely assembled outside the pass, and he couldn't sneak attack, and he was afraid that he was going to attack.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear an urgent report from the communications corps.

"Report! The combined army has prepared a ladder and plans to climb the city wall and attack the city in three ways: left, center, and right!"

Qiu Guangqi's eyes flashed, and he responded.

"Ignite the firewood and grass in the trenches and delay their march with fire. Order all ranged attack classes to prepare for an attack and annihilate the enemy as soon as they come within range. ”

Shiyang Pass was immediately filled with the voices of the communication soldiers.

"The general of the pass will order ......", "all the soldiers will listen to the order......", "Lieutenant General Guangqi will order ......"

As soon as this order was issued, the Central Union Army had already stormed the trench, and the flames reflected the faces of these soldiers, each with the excitement of imminent achievement, and the disgust of war and the fear of death were never worth the pursuit of fame.

The archers on the city walls, under the command of the soldiers, fired waves of arrows at five-second intervals.

The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbow cart are amazingly penetrating, and they even take the enemy's life without missing a shot.

The Caboot and Catapult continued to destroy the Combine's mecha vehicles, destroying the enemy's storms, armored vehicles, and catapults one by one.

In this wave, the Coalition lost more than 20,000 troops, 10 rushing vehicles, 15 armored vehicles and 26 catapults. Wang ** only lost 1,000 troops, 5 registered vehicles, and 15 catapults.

However, the situation is not optimistic, because the attack of the Combine has no intention of retreating, the soldiers behind step on the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and continue to make up for them, and the shooting of archers and mechs can no longer catch up with the speed of the Combine soldiers, and the Combine Army on the left has paved the first ladder on the city wall and climbed up.

Qiu Guangqi ordered again.

"The ranged units continue to attack the enemy within range, and the infantry on the walls are ready to respond to the enemy, and the wall mechanism is activated where the ladder is laid. ”

The military order once again spread throughout Shiyang Pass.

The Combine Army on the left made the fastest progress, and in the blink of an eye five more ladders paved the walls. The wall mechanism has been activated, first tens of thousands of dark arrows and poisonous needles were shot, the soldiers on the ladder could not dodge, and a large number of soldiers were shot and fell off the city wall.

Those soldiers who were lucky enough finally climbed to a high place, but they encountered an even more deadly knife wheel, and the sharp blades cut fatal wounds on their bodies, and some were even directly dismantled.

Immediately after that, there was a moving needle wall waiting for them, sharp iron nails digging dense blood holes in their bodies, and countless soldiers either fell down the ladder because they were seriously wounded, or jumped off the ladder on their own initiative because they did not dare to move forward.

Eventually, some of the Combine soldiers survived their lives to reach the top of the wall, where they were faced with boulders that had been smashed against them, hanging fires, and tung oil and boiling water poured on them.

If the above is not enough to stop them, then it does not matter, because the king's ** infantry who are waiting for their work are already waiting on the city wall, and as soon as they climb up, they will pick up their weapons and cut off their heads.

In this way, under the layers of defense, although the left, middle and right three roads of the combined army have successfully paved more than ten ladders on the city wall, the two sides are showing a stalemate, several hours have passed, the combined army has lost about 50,000 troops, but only a very small number of soldiers have successfully climbed the city wall, and these very few soldiers have been killed by the king ** on the city wall under the sword.

Seeing that it could not be attacked for a long time, the mechanism on the wall of Shiyangguan was too terrifying, and it was very difficult for the soldiers who climbed the ladder to keep a whole corpse, and the morale of the combined army fell greatly, and many soldiers had the idea of retreating. Helplessly, in order to be able to win military merit for himself, Keynes did not care about their life or death, and just blindly asked them to continue to storm Shiyang Pass.

Combine soldiers have begun to pretend to have hit the ladder and fall down and pretend to be dead, and more and more soldiers are joining the ranks.

Seeing this, Keynes immediately ordered the whole army that if a soldier pretended to be dead or escaped, he should be sentenced to death, and his close relatives within three generations should be sentenced to death. Those who report can be rewarded heavily, and those who successfully climb the city wall to capture the king's ** mecha chariot will be recorded as first-class combat merits.

As soon as this order was issued, and Keynes soon killed dozens of reported soldiers on the spot, the Combine soldiers finally did not dare to slack off. Not only will there be brave men under heavy rewards, but there will also be brave men under severe punishments, not to mention that now with heavy rewards and severe punishments, the offensive of the combined army has changed significantly compared to before, and the soldiers have become much braver.

More and more Combine soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and climbed the city walls to seize control of Wang**'s mecha chariot. Qiu Guangqi's heart tightened suddenly, once the mecha chariot was captured, with only the archers in their hands, the speed of annihilating the enemy in the distance would be much slower. At that time, the number of Combine troops climbing the ladder will increase exponentially, and Busy ordered again.

"The mecha chariot is captured and the hovercha descends to destroy the enemy, and the crossbow chariot gives priority to shooting the mecha chariot that has been controlled by the enemy, and it is necessary to regain control of the lost mecha chariot. ”

The Combine soldiers thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief after all the hard work they had to take the car, but they never thought that there was a mystery above their heads. There was a sound of the chain sliding of the shuttle, and the Wang ** soldier holding a spear in the suspension block fell from the sky, attacking him unprepared, almost killing one person with one shot.

In addition, there were crossbow carts echoing in the distance, and Wang ** recaptured a lot of mecha chariots.

Even so, as the number of Combine forces on the walls proliferated, the hoverwheels, ballista carts, and infantry on the walls struggled to deal with the enemy.

Listening to the battle report from the communication troops, Qiu Guangqi sighed with some worry, now almost all the organs and personnel he can use have been used, and the combined army still has about 200,000 troops left, which is always an overwhelming advantage compared to the remaining 40,000 troops of Wang **. On the battlefield, the difference between one block ten and one block five is not too big, because the ending is impossible to resist.

Shi Di saw through the reason for Qiu Guang's sorrow, although he knew very little about the war, he was still slowly accumulating battlefield experience. But he knows everything about battles, and he has long been experienced in battles, so he can be said to be the soul of the entire team.

He groaned slightly, had a plan, and spoke.

"Lieutenant General Guangqi, but I'm worried about the increasing number of combined forces attacking the city wall? You might as well let me relieve the lieutenant general's worries, a few days ago, I obtained a high-level adsorption divine power by chance, and I can absorb and control people whose strength level is below the third order. It's better to go out of the pass under the level and absorb the divine power to suck those soldiers off the city wall. ”

Without waiting for Qiu Guangqi to respond, Xuan Tingyun and Ta Mo, the two sisters and brothers, had a tacit understanding, and immediately objected in unison. In order to defend Shiyang Pass, the two of them can undoubtedly sacrifice their lives at any time, but at this moment, they are ten thousand reluctant to watch Shi Di put himself in danger.

"No way!"

Shi Di knew that they were worried about their own safety, and reassured.

"Don't worry, I'm proficient in the level of divine arts, ordinary soldiers can't get close to me at all, in case I fall into a siege, it doesn't matter, Tamer, you can bring the winged evil dragon to the rescue. ”

Tammer wanted to say something to stop Shi Di, but was preempted by his next words.

"What a serious result the loss of Shiyang Pass will bring, I don't say that you all know very well, rather than wasting time here and sitting still, it is better for me to give it a try. You're good to think about me, but now is not the time to think about me as a person. As the royal family of the tyrannical kingdom, you should be more responsible to your people at this time. ”

At this time, Ta Mo and Xuan Tingyun were speechless, Shi Di's words were reasonable, and they couldn't think of a reason to refute it.

Qiu Guangqi was silent for a long time, knowing that Shi Di's trip was extremely dangerous, and he was afraid that it would be no different from sending him to death, but now even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance that he could save the decline on the battlefield, he was unwilling to give up. Thinking of this, he acquiesced to Shi Di's proposal, but only said two concise words.

“...... Take care. ”

Just as Shi Di was about to leave the room and go out, Yi Miao's voice rang out.

"Wait, I'll go out with you, with me, I can guarantee that you won't fall into a siege. ”

Not only can she use the two spiritual skills of frost and fire to annihilate the enemy from top to bottom, but she can also use her broom to bring Shi Di and her back to the level at a time of crisis, and it is indeed the best choice to go out with her.

But for some reason, Shi Di instinctively wanted to refuse Yi Miao's exit, saying that it was not wrong to worry about her safety, but there always seemed to be some more complicated feelings contained in it.

Easter Egg Theatre:

Tamer & Xuan Tingyun: (in unison) No!

Shi Di: (reassuringly) It's okay, little brother, I'm a man with the aura of the protagonist, do you think the bottle will make me have an accident?

Bottle: (Analyzing) Hmm, the original purpose of writing the seven protagonists was to hedge risk, and although you are my heavy position, you have been mediocre anyway......

Shi Di: (hugging his thighs) I was wrong!!
