Chapter 101: A Two-Sided Battlefield
The moment the royal court realized that the siege tower on the left side was attacked by concentrated fire, he had already made a response, and quietly shifted the center of gravity of the entire army formation to the right, in other words, the soldiers who maintained the slow attack of the army formation below would use the siege tower on the right side as a bridge at the moment when the siege tower hit the city wall, and rush up in large numbers!
However, the royal court has also developed the power under its command from the tribe to such an extent, and has experienced countless wars, and after putting away his contempt, it instantly brought great pressure to the white wolf.
It is obviously impossible for the royal court to press all its forces on that one point and concentrate all its forces to attack one point, which sounds very powerful, but for the defenders of the city, such an attack of concentrating in one place is more convenient for them to defend.
For example, now, in the face of the siege tower that collided with it, the white wolf on the city wall unceremoniously transferred three spearmen and asked them to directly hold their spears to block there.
In this way, the time has come for the ladder troops to play a role, with the horn of the attack sounding again, the soldiers rushed, and the goal of the ladder troops directly locked on the left wall, the purpose of this practice is to disperse the forces of the defenders, but also increase their chances of rushing to the wall, as long as a group of soldiers can climb up, and open a gap, then their opportunity will come.
This style of play directly divided the battle on the western wall of the new city into two parts, on the left side were three spearmen with a spear formation and the soldiers in the siege tower, and the battle formations on both sides were distinct.
In comparison, the scene on the right side is much more chaotic, a large number of axe and shield soldiers are running back and forth on the wall, some are knocking down the ladders that have been erected, some are throwing stones and rolling logs down, occasionally one or two enemy soldiers successfully climb up, which will immediately lead to a siege, and the second stage of the battle for the city wall has just begun, and the two armies have fallen into a stalemate of mutual attrition!
"The general defending the city on the other side has some means."
Gritting his teeth, he couldn't occupy the wall of the new city for a long time, and it became extremely difficult to even climb the wall, which made Wang Ting's face obviously more ugly than before.
"What about Guo Wei? What the hell is going on, according to the plan, at this point in time, he should also start attacking the eastern wall of the new city, but the defending forces on the opposite side have not been divided at all, is there something unexpected? ”
However, what Wang Ting didn't know was that just as he was thinking so, Guo Wei had already fallen into a siege.
Only the sound of blades colliding was heard, and a bronze battle axe slammed into the bronze longsword in his hand.
"This guy is really tough!"
I saw that at this moment, maintaining the posture of holding the sword in both hands, Guo Wei's forehead and the green tendons on his neck exploded exaggeratedly, and in the blink of an eye, he fought three more rounds.
In the lineup of generals under Wang Ting, Guo Wei's comprehensive strength can be ranked in the top three, and his command and bravery have reached the level of four stars, according to Xia Qi's standards, he can already be ranked in the lineup of first-class generals.
But in the competition of personal strength, it is obvious that Xiong is superior, the violent and aggressive offensive is almost so overwhelming that Guo Wei has been passively defending, and the bronze long sword in his hand has been cut several times, which makes Guo Wei feel a pain in his flesh, the sword in his hand is not cheap, it costs him a lot of money!
Gritting his teeth, between the collision of blades, and the enemy general in front of him had two moves, Guo Wei's eyes swept around, this wave of ambush battles, as the side that was ambushed, they had already lost the first-mover advantage, and at the same time, even the strength could not compare to the other side, after a period of fighting, not only him, but also the soldiers under his command were almost unable to withstand it!
As soon as he thought of this, Guo Wei's arms suddenly exerted force, and after forcibly forcing Guo Zhen back half a step, he made two more pursuits, and then shouted, "The whole army retreats!" ”
There is no longer anything to fight on his side, and there is only a dead end if he continues to fight, so it is reasonable to quickly withdraw to the original river city and regroup while he still has troops in his hands.
"Patriarch, they're starting to retreat." On the high ground in the distance, Li Chuan, who had been keeping an eye on the battle situation here, said quickly.
And Xia Qi, who heard this, responded calmly: "Wise choice, if you continue to fight, they will all be wiped out here." ”
"Patriarch, how should we arrange it next?"
"Hmmm......"
Faced with this question, Xia Qi pondered for two seconds, although the entire general plan had already been determined, the transfer and layout of some details still had to be pondered a little.
On the battlefield west of the new city, this anxious siege battle continued, under the city wall, a large number of corpses continued to pile up, and the battle on the wall was even more fierce, and the dark red blood almost dyed the entire wall into a new color.
In the distance, Wang Ting's hand on the hilt of the sword has become iron blue because of too much force, this siege battle has been fought so far, the number of corpses piled up under the city wall has reached a shocking number, however, Guo Wei's side has not moved for a long time, he has basically determined in his heart that Guo Wei has an accident nine times out of ten, which can't help but make Wang Ting's pressure even heavier.
Wang Ting's order was to capture the new city in one go before sunset, but now it is in a situation, first Guo Wei had an accident and failed to attack the new eastern city wall according to the plan, and then the general who defended the western city wall was really tenacious, occupying the wall, and he was fighting with him until now.
The bad situation made the royal court feel a dilemma, who knew that at this moment, the closed gate of the new city in the distance was slowly rising.
This was obviously much beyond the expectations of the royal court, and the soldiers who were near the gate of the new city saw the gate open, and thought that the wall of the new city had been occupied by their people, and subconsciously wanted to rush inside, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was dozens of sharp spears! The group of soldiers who rushed to the front didn't have time to see anything clearly, and they were stabbed to death on the spot by the dozens of spears that suddenly stabbed out!
At the same time, a sound of uniform footsteps came from behind the city gate, and the sound of the steps was heavy and powerful, constantly knocking on everyone's heart, bringing a lot of psychological pressure to the enemy troops outside the city gate.
Wang Ting in the distance looked intently, only to see that the other party was opening the way with spearmen, and a large number of axe and shield soldiers followed closely behind, advancing in unison with a rigorous military formation.
"What does the other person want to do? Unexpectedly took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack? ”
Seeing this battle, Wang Ting frowned, the battle reached this point, although he was unable to directly capture the wall of the new city, but according to the entire battle situation, his strength still occupies a fairly obvious advantage, the opposing general guarding the city sent infantry troops out of the city to meet the attack at this time, which will inevitably lead to the decline of the garrison on the city wall, isn't he afraid that the city wall will fall?
Of course, from the enemy's point of view, Wang Ting wished that the other party would make a serious mistake so that he could capture the city wall in one go, so of course, he would also pay close attention to the movements on the other side of the city gate.
Visually inspecting the number of troops advancing at a glance, there were nearly a thousand people, and the royal court who saw it looked overjoyed, once this force was withdrawn, he didn't believe that the opposite side could still hold the city wall!
With this thought in mind, just as the royal court was about to let the soldiers rush through the wall again, the picture that continued to meet him in the distance made the joy on his face gradually disappear.
The army is still pushing outward! The opponent obviously used a slow attack and advanced play, relying on the length advantage of the spearmen, maintaining the spear formation, the opponent's military formation pushed out step by step, forcing them to retreat the soldiers who were blocking near the city wall, and a few breaths of work opened up a living space.
Subsequently, looking at the number of enemy troops completely killed from the city gate, Wang Ting's face completely changed, and he quickly raised his head to confirm the situation on the city wall in the distance, but found that the soldiers guarding the city on the other side of the city wall had basically not decreased.
"Impossible! What are you kidding, where are there so many troops on the other side? ”
The huge pressure on his body made Wang Ting's whole brain directly mess into a mess, the siege battle has been fought so far, how many troops the other party has to defend the city, he basically knows in his heart, however, the number of infantry troops pushed out all the way has reached at least a thousand!
Holding his forehead with one hand, against that uncertain face, Wang Ting tried to sort out the messy thoughts in his head, and then, as if he thought of something, his expression changed suddenly, "We are dividing troops, and the other party is also dividing troops?!" ”
Wang Ting's whole heart, who came to this conclusion, twitched fiercely, "Their initial strength was divided into two parts, and the one responsible for garrisoning the new city was only one part of it from beginning to end, while the other part was to do other things. ”
"Ambush Guo Wei?!"
At this moment, the more Wang Ting pondered, the more ugly his face became, and his whole heart continued to sink there, "And now, the troops who ambushed Guo Wei have returned, so Guo Wei is ......?"
Wang Ting didn't dare to continue thinking about it, this was simply a nightmare! At the same time, the new city in front of him also seemed to have turned into an ancient giant beast at this moment, becoming hideous and terrifying!
"Quick! Destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, and then the whole army retreats! ”
His superiority in strength is gone, and if he continues to fight, it is estimated that he will have to pay a heavy price!
Before retreating, he gave the order to destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, because he knew very well in his heart that with the weight of the siege tower, pushing the siege tower, basically don't want to leave, which can also be said to be one of the major defects caused by the installation of so many bronze armor plates, after all, this defense is obtained after sacrificing speed.
In this way, the siege tower will not be able to be brought back, but staying here will undoubtedly cheapen those enemies for nothing, and when the time comes, if the enemy pushes this siege tower to attack his other cities, it will be a lot of fun, so before leaving, you must destroy all the wheels!
With the sound of the horn of retreat, Dayan's siege army began to retreat, and the white wolf made his troops symbolically chase and kill for a certain distance, and then told them to retreat.
Because of this one, Xia Qi transferred back to support his infantry unit, but he had already fought two battles in a row, and he couldn't even catch his breath in the middle, and the soldier's physical strength had to be taken into account.
At the same time, the other party was not defeated by them and fled, but an organized retreat, in other words, the other party still has the strength to fight, and if they catch up, there is basically no great hope of hitting the opposite side hard, it will only add casualties, it is really unnecessary.
On the side of Xincheng, as soon as Wang Ting's siege army withdrew, the entire siege battle can be said to have come to an end temporarily, and on the other side, the pursuit battle between Xiong and Guo Wei was not so easy to end.
