Chapter 178: Breaking through the Sky and Attacking Again
With the destruction of the 200,000 army, the iron fence city suddenly became an empty city with no defense power, and was quickly taken by Guo Dafu's army.
This second expedition has made a good start, and many generals of the Blue Dragon Empire are also very happy, feeling that this time they may be able to completely occupy the surrounding territory belonging to the Hanhai Empire.
On the other side, Tapotian had already led the army under his command, and in one breath turned into hundreds of miles and came to the vicinity of another town.
Since he was not familiar with the situation here, he sent his men to the town to investigate the situation first.
In addition, the news that his original base camp, Dakang Town, was occupied by the army of the Golden Eagle Empire was also passed on through several eyeliners he had planted in advance.
After learning about this situation, many rebel soldiers couldn't help but sigh, those players are really unpredictable prophets! I expected them to go back and fall into the net.
Fortunately, their boss was as good as a stream, and after getting a reminder from those players, he quickly took them in.
At this time, taking advantage of the gap between the rest of the army, he was still holding the booklet to study, which had a lot of notes left by the player, which benefited him a lot, and he had different feelings after reading it every day.
After more than two hours, the spies he sent finally returned.
The spies pretended to be refugees, and after infiltrating the town and exploring it, they learned that the town was called Fuyuan Town, which was an important base for the official army to hoard all kinds of equipment and grain and grass.
It is said that the town stockpiled enough food and grass for more than 100,000 troops to eat for more than a month, and more than 50,000 sets of weapons and armor.
However, there are also 5,000 elite officers and soldiers stationed in the town, so ordinary rebels do not dare to come and brush the tiger's beard.
But they are ordinary rebels! That's the rebel army that fought with the real elite of the official army not long ago, wiped out 10,000 officers and soldiers, and captured a large number of new firearms!
Therefore, such a hard bone that the rebels dare not gnaw, but they dare to gnaw on the sky.
The most important thing is that they were in a hurry before, and they didn't carry too much food and grass, if they didn't quickly find a place to replenish the food and grass of the troops, the troops would be hungry.
Once you let your men go hungry, then most of the rebel troops, which were not very disciplined, will be dispersed in a few days.
After all, the reason why most of these rebels are willing to rebel with Tapotian is because they can eat enough with him, and now there is no food for them to eat here, so it's no wonder they don't leave!
After deciding to attack Nafuyuan Town, Tapotian immediately gathered more than a dozen of his cronies and assigned tasks to these people.
During this time, in addition to leading the troops to move in, he also used the captured war horses and various fierce beasts suitable for riding along the way to form a cavalry force of more than 300 people.
In addition, he forcibly brought in an unlucky lone player on the way and asked him to teach his soldiers how to use those firearms. After all, this was the first time he had seen these new weapons, and if there was no one to teach them how to use them, those muskets and other things would not even be as good as burning sticks in his hands.
The player whose game name is Xiao Heizi is also unlucky, originally he and a group of teammates were also notified by the Desert Flying Eagle to rush to the territory of the Blue Dragon Empire, but he was hit by a team of Golden Eagle Empire soldiers on the way, and he was separated from his teammates in a tragic battle, and he himself fled into the mountains in a panic, but he was actually caught by a group of rebels here, and he was asked to teach those rebels to use various firearms.
Xiao Heizi refused to do this at first, but when the other party put the big knife on his neck, he still decided to take it seriously.
Fortunately, these rebels seized some extremely primitive firearms, and the use method is not complicated, otherwise Xiao Heizi can only be blind, after all, he himself is just an ordinary worker in reality, and there are many military fans!
On this day, Xiaohezi was explaining the tactics of the three-stage shooting to a group of rebel soldiers equipped with firearms, but a rebel leader suddenly came over and said that he was going to fight.
As soon as he heard that there was going to be a war, Xiao Heizi subconsciously wanted to slip away, after all, he had really had enough of the war during this time, and he just wanted to stay away from the war.
But this is obviously a delusion, as the instructor who knows the most about the use of these firearms in the current rebel army, that group of rebels attaches great importance to themselves, even if he goes to urinate, there will be three or five big men following him all the way, so it is impossible for him to escape.
So now, he can only follow these rebels, leave the hiding mountain forest, and come to the vicinity of a town.
Here, he also met the leader of this rebel army, the other party was already gathered more than 300 cavalry troops, if he remembered correctly, when he was first captured by the other party, only the leader of these rebels had a mount, which was considered a cavalry, and it seemed that it was still used to highlight his status.
However, it seems that the officers and soldiers who fought with him before had a large number of cavalry units, so the rebel leader also discovered that the cavalry unit with high mobility played a huge role in the battle, and in a short period of time, such a small-scale cavalry unit was formed, and the best weapons and armor captured from the officers and soldiers were equipped with this cavalry unit, so that it had just been formed, and it had not weak combat effectiveness.
Just when Xiao Heizi was still secretly observing the rebel leader, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the hole of the city gate opposite, and most of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were killed on the spot.
Then dozens of rebel soldiers disguised as refugees immediately pulled out their short knives and short swords hidden under their clothes, and slashed at the officers and soldiers who were not yet dead.
How could the dozen or so officers and soldiers who had not yet recovered from the violent explosion of the grenade be able to withstand the siege of these rebels who had been planning for a long time! In less than a minute, they all fell in a pool of blood, and the city gate was now completely controlled by the rebels.
After all, he knew that there were more than 5,000 officers and soldiers in the city, and once the other party's reinforcements arrived, it was possible to regain control of the city gate, so he must go to support as quickly as possible to ensure that the city gate is always in his hands.
In addition to the cavalry troops led by Tapotian, the other rebel soldiers also understood the speed of the soldiers, and took advantage of the time when their comrades seized the city gate, they opened their legs and rushed to the city gate of Fuyuan Town.
The reaction of the officers and soldiers of this town was indeed not slow, after all, it was the troops responsible for guarding the baggage of such a large army, so naturally they did not dare to be careless, after hearing the loud explosion in the direction of the city gate, a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the city immediately rushed towards the city gate under the leadership of the commander.
When this team of hundreds of officers and soldiers arrived, they found that all the comrades in charge of guarding the city gate had died, and dozens of rebel soldiers had already stripped off the weapons and armor of those comrades, and completely controlled the city gate.
Not far from the open city gates, a group of rebel cavalry was also speeding up.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the officers and soldiers did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the rebels at the city gate under the leadership of the commander, hoping to retake the city gate before the opposing cavalry troops arrived.
But the rebels who were guarding the city gate obviously wouldn't let them succeed easily, and when they saw them appear, they immediately killed them with weapons in hand.
The battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot state from the beginning, after all, it is now a race against time, if the city gates are not closed as soon as possible, and wait for the rebel reinforcements to arrive, then everything will be over.
However, although the officers and soldiers fought hard, they were still unable to recapture the gate before the opposing cavalry arrived, not only because of the sharp resistance of the enemy troops, but also because the cavalry was too fast compared to the infantry.
The first to rush to the gate of the city, looking at the officers and soldiers who were still fighting, shouted and threw out a flying axe, split the helmet of an officer and soldier in half with the head gate, and then swung his big knife to kill the remaining officers and soldiers.
Seeing the enemy's cavalry, they already felt that the morale of the officers and soldiers who had suffered a lot of losses suddenly began to waver, and some of them who were more afraid of death, after hesitating for a moment, actually turned around and fled.
This suddenly made the battle situation collapse in an instant, and with the support of Tapotian and others, the remaining dozens of officers and soldiers were quickly and completely killed.
And after solving these dozens of officers and soldiers, Tapotian did not stop here, but led the cavalry under his command, and continued to rush towards the city, he now needs to feel the treasury of the officers and soldiers for the first time, lest the other party see that he can't hold the city, and the dog jumps under the wall and burns all the grain and grass.
And on the way to the granary, they broke through the sky and crushed several forces of officers and troops who rushed over to support.
These officers and soldiers had apparently rushed over after hearing the explosion, but they had not even figured out what was going on. At the same time, they didn't expect that the enemy would come so quickly, and it was only a few minutes before they had already entered the city, so it could really be said that they were taken by surprise.
And without knowing in advance the enemy's cavalry units and lining up in formation, once the infantry encounters a cavalry surprise attack, it is really difficult not to break up!
In this way, they broke through the sky with lightning speed, all the way to the door of the granary.
Here, there are only a few dozen officers and soldiers guarding the gate, which is normal, after all, this is already located in the center of the city, and it stands to reason that the enemy will never be able to kill here quickly.
Tapotian looked at the stunned officers and soldiers, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and the big knife in his hand took advantage of the momentum of the mount's charge, swept through his neck fiercely, and cut off his head directly.
Seeing that one of his comrades-in-arms had his head cut off, the remaining officers and soldiers could be considered to react, grabbed their weapons and prepared to resist.
However, at this time, it was too late to wake up, and the cavalry under the command of the Breaking Sky had already crashed into each other, and these officers and soldiers were smashed to pieces at once, and they could no longer form a decent battle formation, and some of them were trampled to death after being knocked over by the war horses.
Under a futile resistance, these dozens of officers and soldiers were quickly killed by Tapo Tian and others.
Then the cavalry under his command smashed open the door of the grain depot and rushed into the warehouse on his mount.
As the door was slammed open, a ray of sunlight shone into the storeroom, allowing them to see the sacks of grain neatly placed in the storeroom.
Before stepping into the sky, he raised the big knife in his hand and cut a hole in one of the sacks, and a large pile of yellow rice immediately fell out of it, which is also a perennial grain in the Central Continent.
"Haha! It's all new rice, brothers, and it seems that we are lucky this time! Stepping on the sky, smelling the fresh smell of the yellow rice itself, I couldn't help laughing happily.
"I knew that I would have something to eat with the boss!"
"The might of the great master!"
After receiving a pat from the younger brothers, the people began to move the grain out of the warehouse and prepare to load it away.
