Chapter 476: Overlooking Soul Fortune City
"Your Highness, Lu Ling has arrived at the designated position. Qin Ning knew that the second prince was distressed by the heavy artillery battalion, so he hurriedly told sΓΉ a good news to the second prince.
The second prince was really attracted by this news, and when he looked up, he saw that Lu Ling and the attack troops had entered under the city wall, whether it was the enemy's heavy artillery or large-scale arrow feathers, they could not inflict large-scale damage on the attack troops led by Lu Ling.
The second prince visually inspected that Lu Ling's losses along the way could be more than 2,000 people, which was much less than the expected losses, but this was at the expense of most of the heavy artillery battalions.
Lu Ling led the attack force to the city and immediately gave the order to attack.
The attacking troops had very little to prepare, which was to fly hooks and scratch their claws.
In fact, these things are the least threat to the defense of the city wall, and as long as they go up with a knife, they can cut the rope and make the enemy work in vain.
But here in the Wall of Sighs, it is a special case.
Because the design of the Wall of Sighs is an all-round defense, the corridors of the city wall are covered with super powerful weapons against the ground and air. If it is to deal with the enemy's combined attack of air and ground integration, the wall of sighs is not afraid.
No one would have thought that in the face of such a city wall that everyone would sigh about, someone would actually attack with the most primitive and stupid method.
By the time the massive attacking force reached the base of the city wall, all the powerful ordnance on the corridor of the Wall of Sighs became an ornament. The only thing that can threaten the enemy is the high-level alchemy bow and arrow that can be used in individual combat.
But the Yongdao is such a big place, and a large ordnance is placed. The number of soldiers was also reduced. The enemy, however, has an absolute superiority in numbers. The soldiers on the Wall of Sighs had to face about five enemies each, so you can imagine how great the psychological pressure and defensive pressure were.
Now, all the high-end and high-grade things are useless, and the competition is the simplest person!
The soldiers on the Wall of Sighs wielded their swords desperately and cut the ropes that flew up one by one, but the number was too large and they took a while. The soldiers were a little devastated.
That's it. Under the leadership of Lu Ling, although countless people were killed and injured in the fall, in the end, some people climbed the city wall.
As the attackers climbed the walls, the defenders on the Wall of Sighs lost their minds. Although the last resistance is still being carried out. The numerical disadvantage cannot be reversed.
The second prince saw this qiΔ. Cheers of joy. Qin Ning was also extremely excited, and in order to consolidate the results of the battle, Qin Ning decisively ordered. Ten thousand more, no matter what, take down the Wall of Sighs.
Actually, the defenders of the Wall of Sighs are not like that. It's just that the city wall can only accommodate more than 2,000 people, and the rest of the defenders are all under the Wall of Sighs. Seeing that the Wall of Sighs was already full of enemies, the defenders below immediately attacked as well.
Lu Ling and Kong Mian fought together, and the two of them met each other in chess, fighting for hundreds of rounds without winning or losing.
But the soldiers on Kong Mian's side gradually fell because of their small number. The subordinates fell one by one, and the psychological impact on Kong Mian was very huge.
Just when Kong Mian was slightly distracted by the tragic death of one of his subordinates, Lu Ling saw the flaw, deceived himself, and split Kong Mian in half with a knife.
"Ahh
"Oh my God, the general was killed!"
"Run, run!"
......
Seeing that the main general was killed in battle, the rest of the soldiers suddenly collapsed in their hearts, and they had no intention of fighting at all, and they were bumping around, like headless flies.
Lu Ling shouted: "Quick, open the city gate immediately!"
When the attacking troops heard the order, they immediately divided some of them and went to find the winch that would open the city gates.
At this time, the defenders under the city wall were rushing upward, Lu Ling sneered, cut off Kong Mian's head with a knife, held it in his hand, raised it high, and shouted: "Your lord general is dead, do you still want to find death?"
It will be the soldier's guts, and when he saw the head of the main general, the soldiers who rushed up were suddenly frightened, and immediately turned around and ran. In this way, before the enemy could attack, their own people would scatter their own ranks.
Without the interference of the enemy, the attacking troops quickly found the winch that opened the city gate, which was made of mixed iron, and more than a dozen people worked together to turn the winch before slowly lowering the city gate.
At this time, the 10,000 people sent by Qin Ning also arrived, and they swarmed into the city gate along the city gate. The defenders, who had no intention of fighting, were slaughtered like a slaughter by the Lingtu City army that swarmed in.
By daylight, the battle was coming to an end.
Qin Ning and the second prince walked side by side on the wall of sighs.
If there were no military advisors, I wouldn't dare to imagine that I would be standing here overlooking the Soul Fortune City. The second prince barely suppressed the excitement in his heart and praised Qin Ning.
Qin Ning said with a smile: "Your Highness has praised it falsely, if it weren't for His Highness's magnanimity and magnanimity and handing over all the power to Qin Ye, how could Qin Ye have a chance to command such a big battle? Thanks to the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy, there would be such a result, how could Qin Ye dare to be praised like this?"
"Strategist, you're welcome. Your merits are obvious to the whole army, and no one can erase them, and it is only the lives of the three armed forces that can only be like this. We are not too far from our ultimate goal. β
"Your Highness, don't be underestimated. The Wall of Sighs is just one of the most important strongholds on the outskirts of Soul Fortune City. Don't forget, there are still more than 100,000 defenders in Soul Luck City, and we still have to be nervous, so don't fall short at the last moment. β
The second prince was about to speak, but he saw Lu Ling come over and intervene and said, "Your Highness, military advisor, the remnants of the Wall of Sighs have all been cleared, please check it out." β
"Okay, Strategist, let's go and have a look. β
Because there were no heavy weapons, the Wall of Sighs was well preserved, and all the buildings were undamaged except for the corpses all over the ground.
Cleaning up the battlefield was done by the troops behind, and the attack troops led by Lu Ling were already lined up neatly, waiting for the review of the second prince.
The second prince did not hesitate to praise the attacking troops, and promised a heavy reward on the spot, and after some encouragement, let Lu Ling take the attacking troops down to rest.
Taking down the Wall of Sighs means that all the strong fortifications of Soul Luck City are gone.
But the next thing to face is more than 100,000 defenders, which is also a difficult problem in front of the army of Lingtu City.
After all, the Lingtu City army was already very tired from continuous battles, and the consumption of materials was also amazing. With the continuous deepening of the army, the logistics supply lines are getting longer and longer, and although things have been requisitioned, they have to be transported after all.
But the second prince didn't dare to urge Qin Ning at this time, because once the impatient love xΓΉ infected Qin Ning, it was possible that all the results would come to naught.
Therefore, the second prince let Qin Ning have a good rest, and try not to let Qin Ning worry about some daily military management, and the second prince took care of it himself. Doing so, on the one hand, can reduce Qin Ning's workload, and on the other hand, it can also buy people's hearts.
But Qin Ning was focused on the next battle.
After repeated discussions with the generals, a conclusion was reached.
On paper, the strength of the enemy and us is equal, and there is a possibility of a fight.
But one thing is fatal, the enemy's army is fighting on its own, it is very convenient to replenish all kinds of supplies, and in terms of distance, the enemy's speed of replenishing reinforcements is much faster than that of his own side.
Even if the local government does not replenish its troops, even if it runs out of troops, this is people's territory, and it can be slowly restored to management. But if the army of Lingtu City fights with the enemy, even if it defeats Soul Fortune City, and no one defends it, it will be in vain. Because the distance the enemy has reached here is much shorter than the distance from Lingtu City to here, it is too late to transfer troops.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the Lingtu City army must fight quickly, and there must be no ruinous casualties.
But this is too difficult, and it is a long way to do this, which is a bit of a matter of assumption.
After repeated discussions, everyone reached a consensus on strategy, but there was no clear idea of specific tactics.
Qin Ning was also very depressed, he had worked hard all the way, and he had already seen the end of hope, the distance was so within reach, but he had the feeling of being close to the end of the world.
Calling Lu Ling, Qin Ning overlooked the spectacular Soul Fortune City not far away on the Wall of Sighs.
Soul Luck City is a border fortress city, which is not as luxurious and magnificent as Lingtu City, but it is also full of wild charm.
Twenty miles ahead of the gentle slope where the Wall of Sighs was built, was the outskirts of Soul Luck City. It was an open area with a radius of 100 miles, which was suitable for the deployment of large troops. If you want to attack the city of Soul Luck City, you must fight a decisive battle with the hundreds of thousands of troops of Soul Luck City here.
In the depths of the suburbs of Soul Luck City, you can faintly see a patch of military camps, which is where the main force of Soul Luck City is stationed. Although the enemy was close at hand, and this battle was inevitable, Qin Ning did not dare to make this decision lightly.
"Lu Ling, why don't you speak? I took you out with some meaning to see the scenery, but the most important thing is to hear your opinion. β
"Strategist, I'm a person, it's okay to charge into battle, and it's okay to be a little smart. But if it rises to the level of large-scale corps operations, I'm afraid that what I say will be laughed at. β
Qin Ning listened and said with a smile: "Lu Ling, don't be presumptuous. Let's talk about the Wall of Sighs, if it weren't for you, I don't know how much time it would have taken to do so. A man can be humble, but he cannot be humble. Sometimes, many big events are caused by very accidental triggers, who said that small people are useless? What's more, you are still a big person. β
Lu Ling scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The military advisor isn't making fun ......of me, is it?
"Wait!" Qin Ning felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't tell what it felt: "Lu Ling, what did you just say, you say it again." β
Lu Ling was taken aback, and Nuo Nuo said: "I mean, it's better than eating and drinking, better than ......."
"That's right, that's it!" Qin Ning grinned, the smile on his face was as bright as the scorching sun overhead. (To be continued......)
