Chapter 368: Reinforcements Arrive, Defeated and Retreated
The tenacity of the generals of the Ice Bear Country made Qi You secretly frightened.
For ordinary fierce generals, the momentary distraction just now was enough to make them lose their lives.
He never thought that the other party would be able to survive it.
He didn't have time to think about it, he chased after him again.
The wave of confrontations just now obviously made the state of the side go wrong.
It's not just the bloody eye, in the next two rounds of fighting, Qi You can clearly feel that the movements of the other party's hands have become a little strange.
This is caused by the parry just now.
The general of the Ice Bear Kingdom forcibly withdrew his two-handed big sword in an uncoordinated posture just now, and in the process, I am afraid that he put a lot of burden on the joints of his arms.
After that, he parried his full blow, and the opponent's joints were definitely injured.
However, Qi You would not show mercy to his subordinates because of this, and directly broke out a more ferocious attack.
Before, Qi You didn't dare to launch such an offensive at all, because the other party would fight back at any time.
But now the situation is different, the general of the Ice Bear Country who has problems with his arms can only grit his teeth and persist in the face of his series of onslaughts, and even the parry looks a little embarrassed.
During this period, Qi You also deliberately sold two flaws to the other party.
But the other party saw the flaw and couldn't attack it, obviously, although the other party was still dying, the outcome of this battle was already clear!
This general of the Ice Bear Country is not a dead brain, and the previous battle with Qi You was just to contain him, so as not to continue to attack the heavy armored infantry under his command by this guy with too strong combat power.
It's also a means to win.
And now, he can't contain the guy in front of him.
The generals of the Ice Bear Country, who realized this, decisively chose to retreat.
Qi You wanted to chase, but at this moment, there were a large number of soldiers on both sides of the wall, and at the same time as he retreated, a group of heavily armored soldiers of the Ice Bear Country suddenly stepped forward, and several battle axes slashed towards him, so that Qi You had to retreat.
However, during this period, the soldiers of the garrison of Gear City were not idle, and they all raised their shields to go up.
Qi You, who realized that he had no hope of chasing and killing, took two steps back, and he also needed to take two breaths after a battle until now.
It was probably Hua Ye's previous wave of operations that played a role, helping him to share a large wave of pressure, and the strength of the Ice Bear Country army on the wall no longer increased significantly, which made the whole situation stabilize slightly.
However, at this moment, Hua Ye, who was in the city gate area, commanding his troops and the soldiers of the Ice Bear Country, was in a stalemate, but his situation was not optimistic.
Despite his high IQ, it was his kindness to arrange his troops.
However, although the battle array can improve the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, in the face of an obvious gap in strength, it would be too naΓ―ve to want to reverse the situation just by relying on a few battle formations.
The superiority of the Ice Bear Army's forces is gradually being brought into play as the offensive progresses.
And although Hua Ye has three cannons in his hand and a mage army at the same time, he does not have the ability to attack continuously.
The big shield soldiers and sword and shield soldiers at the front of the battle formation have already been fighting with the ice bear country tomahawk soldiers who have sprung up, and a life-and-death melee battle is being staged at the city gate.
The troops on the opposite side were too sufficient, but Hua Ye's current strength was less than two thousand, and after a few rounds of fighting, the front row troops already had a feeling that they were about to be forcibly crushed by enemy soldiers.
All of a sudden, the situation was extremely critical!
The clenched fists looked a little blue at this moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out of Hua Ye's forehead.
There is no doubt that at this moment, he is under tremendous psychological pressure.
He didn't know what was going on on the battle on the wall, but the battle at the city gate was obviously about to endure.
At the moment when the two waves of men and horses completely collided together, the artillery could no longer fire, and the attack of the rear troops was also limited to a certain extent.
If they continue to fight like this, they will definitely lose the battle at the city gate.
"Retreat?"
This thought flashed through Hua Ye's mind.
Once their side retreated, the steps leading to the top of the wall would be exposed to the range of the Ice Bear army, and the Ice Bear soldiers who rushed into the city could go straight to the top of the wall through the steps.
At that time, Qi You and the soldiers of the garrison troops on the wall will probably have to suffer from the front and back.
But if they don't retreat, how long can they hold out in the current situation?
His brain spun at high speed, and his gaze quickly swept over the mages of the mage unit.
After casting multiple spells one after another, due to the large consumption of mana, the mages' faces were already a little pale at this time.
But magicians are too precious to lose if they can't lose them.
As soon as he thought of this, Hua Ye planned to let the mage troops withdraw from the front line first, and if they continued to fight anyway, the mage troops whose mana was close to exhaustion would no longer be able to continue to provide combat power.
It would be wise to let them retreat in time to ensure the safety of this force.
However, just as Hua Ye was about to give the order, the unexpected happened.
With a loud elephant chirping, a heavy footstep suddenly came from the central avenue of Gear City behind the defending troops!
Hearing this, Hua Ye's heart jumped violently and he quickly turned around.
I saw that on the central avenue behind, huge figures were rushing towards them all the way.
"Reinforcements! It was our reinforcements who arrived!! β
Reinforcements from the rear of Gear City finally arrived, and the war elephants that were walking in the forefront crashed directly into the battlefield in the city gate area.
These war elephants belong to the desert elephants, and in the entire Great Xia, only the Goblin Administrative Region has a desert-like area, so in peacetime, the war elephants are placed here.
At this moment, it played an unexpected role.
With a full thirty war elephants, their almost brutal strength can be said to have brought huge variables to the battle situation at the city gate in an instant!
The rampage of the war elephants, while bringing death threats to the soldiers of the Ice Bear Country, also made them feel helpless for a while.
The brutal force can easily take their lives and deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Ice Bear Army!
Andreytov, who saw this scene, his heart stopped beating for a moment.
Obviously, I didn't expect that this Huaxia player would still have a large war unit called War Elephant in his hands!
This special class is not easy to deal with.
At present, the morale of the army under his command has plummeted all the way due to the appearance of a large number of war elephants.
Gritting his teeth, in the face of such an irreversible situation, Andreetov knew that he had no choice.
"Retreat!"
When these two words came out of Andreytov's mouth, his entire face became distorted.
The horn of the retreat of the Ice Bear Country side sounded quickly, and the general of the Ice Bear Country, who was directing the soldiers under his command to fight on the wall, instantly realized that something was wrong below.
There was no love war, he decisively gave the order to retreat, and then grabbed the ladder and slid down directly, quickly breaking away from the wall of Gear City.
The soldiers of the Ice Bear Army fled in disarray, and the defenders of Gear City took advantage of the power brought by the thirty war elephants, and the defenders symbolically pursued and killed the city.
After seeing that the other party had completely fled away, he withdrew to the Gear City.
Subsequently, the gates of Gear City were quickly closed.
When the breath in his heart was exhaled, many soldiers who had lost their strength collapsed on the spot.
A battle has been fought to this point, and they are all almost at the limit.
The rear platoon, who was still in good physical condition, was instructed to clean up the corpses near the city gate, and called the military doctor and the elven priest to treat the wounds of the wounded.
After arranging a series of things, Hua Ye arched his hand to Suo Chao, the general of the war elephant army, with a grateful face.
Said gratefully: "This time it is really thanks to General Suo Chao's timely arrival, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." β
General Huaye was polite. You and I are both generals of Great Xia, but they are all loyal to the king. As he spoke, the middle-aged general named Suo Chao hugged his fist at Hua Ye.
Hua Ye said: "No matter what, Du Mou is here to thank General Suo Chao for the soldiers and people of Gear City. β
In fact, there was not only one war elephant unit in the two cities, but the war elephant army was physically strong, and they arrived the fastest after a rapid march.
Other reinforcements from the two cities rushed in the past two days
The arrival of 6,000 reinforcements gave Hua Ye and Qi You a lot of confidence.
However, after that, probably knowing that he had no chance, Andretov did not continue to launch a new offensive, but hid far away with the remaining forces under his command.
In this wave of siege warfare, he can be said to be completely planted, but at the same time he is more depressed!
Although there is a feeling of dying to save face and suffer crimes, a large part of the reason for this wave of defeat is bad luck.
For example, the tactic of breaking through the city with an ironclad car, and then letting the heavy infantry hidden in the car kill in the city, this is his killer weapon, and the heavy infantry is also his trump card unit.
As a result, it hit the cannon on the opposite side head-on.
Not to mention that all the ironclad vehicles were reimbursed, and the heavy infantry also suffered heavy casualties.
Andretov didn't think that the other party saw through his plan, but only that the blind cat of the general defending the city on the opposite side touched the dead mouse.
This is especially true when reinforcements arrive in time, and there are a large number of war elephants, which is obviously not a small element of luck.
Thinking of this, Andretov couldn't help but pull his full blonde hair a little franticly.
"Shit!"
After the end of the crucial battle, the battle report was also delivered to Xia Qi as quickly as possible.
"Hide the hoplites in the ironclad car, and then use the ironclad car to crash into the city's routine?"
Looking at the description of the enemy's tactics in the battle report, he couldn't help but think of the armored vehicles on the Blue Star.
It's just that the flexibility of the ironclad car is too poor, and if the opposite side has a high explosive firepower, then the heavy infantry hidden in the ironclad car is basically equivalent to a live target.
This has been proven in the battle of Gear City.
At the same time, the cannon of Great Xia can also effectively restrain this routine.
It doesn't matter if there are Tibetans hidden in you, let's talk about it after a bombardment, it's as simple as that.
And when it comes to their first thermal weapon in Great Xia, that is, cannons, then we have to mention Xia Fox, the head of the Great Xia Ordnance Research Department.
Great Xia's cannon, although it is based on the blueprint of the gold-level stone shooting cannon, was created by Xia Qi's blessing rifled cannon concept.
However, after all, Xia Qi can't really know how to make cannons, this kind of thing, even if he is still on the Blue Star, there is no place to check the information.
So all he can provide to Xia Fox is some design concepts.
Under this premise, Xia Fox relied on such a simple concept, combined with the blueprint of the up-and-gun cannon, and spent several years and countless experiments to build the rifled cannon from scratch.
In one fell swoop, the military development of Great Xia was pushed into the door of the firearms age!
Although their rifled guns in Great Xia are still very primitive and need to be improved in all aspects, no one can deny that this is a feat that can go down in history.
At the same time, according to the description of the battle report, the invaders who attacked Gear City this time used at least more than 15,000 troops.
But this is also the norm of the silver rank, without an army of tens of thousands, don't even think about the invasion war, it's just a food delivery.
After a round of invasion battles, on the premise of having the advantage of the city wall, he still lost more than 2,700 troops, which also made Xia Qi have to re-examine the daily combat intensity of the silver rank.
Of course, it is also possible that this Andretov is indeed a little stronger than the average player.
This battle of the silver rank gave Xia Qi a wake-up call, and at the same time, after this battle, he, as a special civilization, is obviously going to be exposed, and when the time comes, there may be some trouble coming to the door.
The original 7,000 garrison troops didn't seem to be particularly safe, and it seemed that he needed to send another wave of troops to the border city.
