Chapter 291: The Darkness Before Dawn
The only consolation was that the trebuchet thunder blasted open the city walls, otherwise, they were afraid that they would not know how to describe their feelings.
They didn't know that their skills were too poor compared to Jiang Chao's.
Just the fire thunder created by their technology. The power is not only weak. In addition, the children's army has a proper way to deal with fire and thunder. The damage that can be done is really too small.
However, although the power of the fire and thunder is small, the subordinate army also has a way to deal with it, but at the same time that the subordinate army is lying down, it also gives the enemy a chance to attack the gap.
The sons saw the enemy coming into the gap. Immediately greeted him. The two sides fought a bloody battle in a small space. Time and time again, the army repelled the enemy.
But he was also covered in blood, and the gap was almost full of corpses. There are enemies, and there are also their own soldiers.
It was difficult for the army to retreat from the gap, and the enemy's attack was too dense. They can only defend to the death, because once they retreat, they will give the enemy a chance to attack.
Even if they had no strength to fight, the army still held on to kill the enemy. His leg was broken, and he fought hard to kill the enemy at the breach of the wall.
When his arm was broken, he killed the enemy with his sword in his mouth. Because, they know that once they retreat, they will let the backer villages fall behind.
It was their home and their hope. There we saw the hope that everyone would be equal and that everyone would be able to live like a human being.
The Sons do not want this to be ruined by the enemy, they want to fight for everyone's hope, they want to fight for their own home. Fight to be able to live like a person.
Most of the soldiers who died in the gap were killed. The enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of it. The soldiers in the back made up for it with anger and grief.
None of them flinched, and none of them were afraid, even if they knew that if they blocked it like this, it would definitely be a dead end. But no one hesitated. This is the faith in their hearts.
The coalition army looked at such a fierce and fearless subordinate army, and their faces were full of shock, and Fang Baifo and other leaders could hardly believe such a fighting will of the subordinate army.
Who can defeat an army with such a will to fight?! Fang Baifo and the leaders felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.
Jiang Chao! This name was deeply imprinted in their hearts, and they didn't know how Jiang Chao had trained his army into such a terrifying army.
I can't understand what the belief in the hearts of the soldiers is. The thought that pops into their minds is that they ...... I'm afraid that I will never be able to use the army of my children.
In the astonishment of the leaders, the siege force of 20,000 people, after more than three hours of fierce fighting, finally only less than 3,000 people escaped. The walls were already filled with corpses. The gap was blocked several meters high.
Closing the gap was the corpses of their coalition forces. Although, there are also the remains of the children and soldiers, but they will definitely not account for much.
Dongli Eagle's blood-red eyes ordered the soldiers to retrieve the remains of their sons. In this battle, although 20,000 enemies were killed, only 3,000 were left to flee back.
But the Zidi army also paid the price of nearly a thousand deaths, and the Zidi army was almost wounded, only dead. Even if they were injured, they did not withdraw. Until death in battle!
The battle was even more fierce than expected. The ammunition for the musket was almost exhausted. The consumption of bamboo thunder is also about to bottom out. Grenades are about the same. There weren't many shells left.
The situation is extremely unfavorable for the side of the mountain village.
Under the darkness, Dongli Eagle looked into the distance, and the look in his eyes was full of worry. Inside the city walls, the soldiers also looked very solemn. However, everyone's fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high!
Nan Mingzheng also looked solemn, they didn't know how long they could hold out in this battle.
Although, it seems that the army of the children lost less than 2,000 people, and the enemy lost more than 20,000. But every soldier in the army is precious.
They don't want to see their comrades leave in front of their eyes. Even if in the end, the army wins, but the losses are not enough for them to bear.
If there is another group of strong enemies, the subordinate army may be completely annihilated.
At this time, the enemy had already rested, and the side of the army had also begun to rest. They knew there was going to be an even tougher battle ahead.
The coalition forces would never accept such a defeat. The next attack, pressed up, may be even more terrifying troops.
On the other side, Jiang Chao withdrew his binoculars, his eyes were sinking like water, and his expression was full of coldness. After finding out the enemy's situation, he took his subordinates and the Zhoufu army behind the enemy.
What he saw at this time was the scene of the enemy storming the mountain village, and he was still desperately resisting the mountain village. The scene of the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Sons Army.
Looking up at the sky, he said to Murong Palace and the generals: "It's evening, everyone go to rest first, and at midnight, send a signal, we ...... Unleash an all-out assault on the enemy. Be sure to leave them here, all of them! ”
Although, at this time, he really wanted to lead his army to rush over, but Jiang Chao still resisted this impulse.
At this time, it is not a wise move to rush to the past. To get the best results, you have to be when the enemy is least defended.
Judging from the current situation, the coalition forces of Fang Baifo and others are afraid that they will not make any more moves, and they will suffer losses in the daytime battle. Will definitely find another way to attack.
If, at this time, they attack blindly, they will not be able to bear the losses at all.
After all, a daytime offensive resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 troops. Even if they have 150,000 troops, they can't withstand such losses.
Time passed little by little, and in the mountain villages, the children were ready to guard against the enemy's night attack at any time. Even the enemy may not attack at night. But there is still work to be done.
Moreover, Dongli Eagle is also waiting for the return of Jiang Chao. If Jiang Chao returned, he would definitely choose a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack behind the enemy's back.
What Dongli Ying needs to do is to cooperate with Jiang Chao to give the enemy a front and rear flanking attack. At that time, the hundreds of thousands of people in front of them will all be eaten by them.
Dongli Ying was standing on the city wall with Nan Mingzheng at this time, and Nan Mingzheng looked into the distance, showing a sense of disappointment in his eyes.
"Brother, you say, will Sir come back! We have been waiting for so many days and the gentleman has not returned. He ...... "Nan Mingzheng looked at the Dongli Eagle Road on the side.
"Don't worry, Sir will definitely come back, I'm sure he's ...... Everyone also believes in him......" Dongli Ying heard this, and his expression revealed a firmness.
Although he himself had no bottom in saying this, the belief in his heart told him that Jiang Chao would definitely come back. He...... I won't leave everyone in the backing village behind.
At the moment when Dongli Ying's words exited, not far away, a burst of fireworks suddenly rose into the sky.
