Chapter 290: A Fierce Battle
The enemy's fire thunder trebuchet kept dropping fire mines, and during this time, the Yongle coalition army also created a lot of fire mines. They were going to pour all the fire and thunder into the mountain village.
As long as you can open the walls, it's worth everything. Although the bombardment of fire and thunder is not too ideal, the wall of the mountain village has been blasted out of a gap.
Seeing this scene, Dongli Eagle on the city wall was full of coldness in his eyes, and his expression became solemn.
Finally, the city wall did not hold on, and in the middle, a hole six or seven meters in size was blasted open. The mouth of the city wall was also bombarded by fire and thunder, and it opened more and more.
On the side of the coalition forces, their faces were full of excitement as they watched the walls being blasted open. The bombardment of fire and thunder continued, and the infantry of the coalition forces had already begun to attack.
In the first attack, the coalition forces threw in a team of 10,000 people. Of the 10,000 men, 3,000 were shield men, and the rest were 7,000 infantry.
The shield soldier is in front to prevent the fire attack on the side of the mountain village, although the shield of the shield soldier seems to be unable to protect against this advanced weapon, but it is still possible to resist it a little.
Looking at the 10,000 enemy infantry who attacked, the walls of the mountain village and the broken position were already guarded by the subordinate army.
Four thousand musketeers, plus three thousand infantry, held the entire enemy's attacking position.
Most of the musketeers remained on the city walls, and this position was the best position to fire from a condescending attack. The infantry were all in the breach of the wall.
In order to prevent the enemy from breaking through. As long as the gap can be blocked, it is not so easy for the enemy to attack in.
At this moment, the enemy's 10,000 siege troops had already rushed to the front, and the firecrackers immediately attacked. Even if there are shields to block it, most of the shields still can't stop the condescending firecrackers.
Pieces of enemy troops fell, and if it had been before, such casualties, the morale of the enemy would have been extremely low. There is even the possibility of a crash.
However, this time, the leaders of the five-party alliance seemed to be determined to capture the mountain village, and the sergeant of the law enforcement team stood behind the team. Whoever escapes will be executed at the first opportunity.
Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still rushed to the gap in the city wall.
There are too many enemies, even if there are firebolts to block the attack, but the firebolts take too long to change ammunition. There was simply no time to stop the enemy's offensive.
However, the timely replenishment of grenades caused a lot of casualties to the charging enemy. But in the end, the enemy rushed to the gap in the city wall.
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush into the gap, suddenly, a part of the musketeers who were lying in ambush at the gap suddenly attacked, and the enemy troops fell in pieces.
But the enemy, who was aroused by the ferocity, desperately rushed towards the gap. Some of the enemy forces had already broken through the gap and were about to rush into the walls.
The infantry of the Subordinate Army who were guarding here immediately rushed over, and they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The combat power of the subordinate army is very strong, and the weapons and equipment are excellent.
Almost always in a single turn, the enemy's weapon is cut off. Most of those who have not been cut off know that the weapons of the army are sharp and do not dare to cut them head-on.
Such an enemy is even more restrained. Therefore, even if a part of the enemy army rushed in, it quickly allowed the infantry of the subordinate army to harvest the heads.
The subordinate army also suffered casualties, and those who were able to rush to the gap were all outlaws. The enemy who is aroused to be ferocious will not be too weak in battle.
If they were well armed, the casualties of the children might have been greater.
The enemy saw the ferocity of the army, and after several battles for the gaps in the wall, 10,000 people were beaten back alive.
Of the 10,000 people who came back in the end, less than 2,000. This kind of consumption made Fang Baifo and other coalition leaders full of astonishment and disbelief.
On the side of the subordinate army, although there were also casualties, the total casualties were less than 500.
The battle loss ratio is almost 1:156. Such a battle loss ratio is almost unlikely! Even when it fought with the Khitan army, the Great Zhao Army did not have such a battle loss ratio.
And on the city wall, Dongli Ying saw the loss of his own side, and his eyes were extremely solemn, although he was proud of such a battle loss ratio.
However, the total strength of the Zidi army was only more than 30,000 people. It's really going to be consumed like this. I can't afford it at all.
But after several battles, the equipment supply on the side of the Zidi army is almost unable to keep up. Grenades, mortar bamboo mines, artillery shells and more!
After all, the gap between the forces of the two sides is very large, others can afford it, but the army can't afford it. He didn't want to win, but it was a miserable victory.
He really hoped that Jiang Chao would come back soon. Perhaps, as long as Jiang Chao can solve the immediate crisis.
On the side of the coalition army, the 150,000 army was only 140,000 at this time, and 8,000 were lost in the first battle, plus nearly 2,000 in the first siege before, almost 10,000.
He couldn't imagine that he had thought of countermeasures on his side, but he still couldn't bite the mountain village. They had a large number of troops, but they could not break through the gaps in the walls that had been broken.
"Then launch a general attack on Ben Shuai and bring the fire and thunder to Ben Shuai. Even if you die together, you have to take the gap for Ben Shuai. "Fang Baifo was a little angry and the generals under his command said.
With his order, his generals launched another general attack, this time with 20,000 troops. At the same time, they also moved some of the fire mines.
There are more fire mines in trebuchets, and there are some small fire mines, which are less frequent, and they are used to see if they can come in handy when Yeluqing is preparing to attack the city.
It was useless before, I wanted to see if I could open the gap with manpower, after all, Fang Baifo and the others were still very confident in the army under them.
But who would have thought that this would be the result, not only did the soldiers under his command not open the gap, but they were actually wiped out by 8,000 people. In anger, Fang Baifo decided to use the fire thunder.
The 20,000 troops besieging the city quickly approached the city wall, and the attack was more fierce than before, and even if the enemy troops with fire and thunder were dead, the enemy troops behind them picked up the fire and thunder and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.
When they finally rushed to the mouth of the wall, the enemy threw fire and thunder into the gap in the wall.
Seeing the fire and thunder thrown over, the experienced disciples hurriedly lay down. The explosion of fire and thunder seems to be amazingly powerful, but the lethality to the children is extremely small.
Such a situation made Fang Baifo and the others stunned. The fire and thunder of the children's army caused them lethality. It's just terrifying.
But their fire thunder, whether it is the fire thunder thrown by the trebuchet in the past, or the small fire thunder now. The power is pitifully weak.
