Chapter 646: Soldiers are in Xian City
Bang!
Bang!
The deafening roar continued to resound in this heaven and earth, and the ensuing explosion was also violent, producing a violent explosion on the distant earth, and there was a lot of smoke and dust that spread out, and those thistles also spread one after another.
Many Goguryeo cavalry were blown up, blood and wails continued to resound, and the Goguryeo cavalry, which was in a steady formation, was also blown out of a huge gap, and there was a small area of chaos, but this chaos did not have much impact on such a large number of troops.
They were still roaring like dragons, looking from the sky, it was like a black torrent, continuing to rush in the direction where the Liaodong Army was located, so vast and deep that even the earth trembled slightly because of this, as if an earthquake was coming.
This is not clear how many waves of impact of the Goguryeo cavalry, in short, three days have passed, Chongyushu at all costs, impact, consumption, although they themselves have also suffered great losses, but the effect is also quite good, the heavy shield armor of the Liaodong Army is about to be completely torn apart.
At the same time, he can also feel that the artillery, muskets, etc. of the Liaodong Army should have reached the limit, because both the density of the artillery and the lethality of this musket are not as good as before.
It is true that after so many times of blocking, the artillery battalion and musket battalion of the Liaodong Army have really reached the limit, first of all, the number of pills has been insufficient, and it seems that it is about to be completely exhausted, and at the same time, the artillery and musket, after such a long time of attack, has also appeared extremely hot.
Both the power and the range were seriously affected, if it weren't for the continuous onslaught of the large-scale Goguryeo cavalry, they would have taken these artillery muskets back for repair, but the reality is that they are not allowed at all, and they can only face the scalp and continue to fight desperately at risk.
Looking at the soldiers of the busy artillery battalion, some of the places where the ammunition was loaded had turned red, and the soldiers who were loading the pills had also burned a lot of fire bubbles on their hands, and some places had been broken, blood flowed out, and there were a lot of pus.
It looks shocking.
In addition to them, the soldiers of the musket battalion were similar, and the situation was even worse, because they were all holding the barrel of the gun, which was already hot, and their hands were blackened in some places, and at the same time, because of their aiming, there were many wounds on their faces that were burned by the explosive gunpowder.
This kind of pain is even more shocking.
However, people also did not retreat in the slightest, nor did they have the slightest fear, they were still as before, regardless of it, constantly shooting, taking pills, and shooting again, using their own strength as much as possible to consume the soldiers who were swarming Goguryeo, desperate.
The war is still going on, this kind of impact and shock also makes the breath between heaven and earth more dignified, more cold, and even depressing, with such a strong dusk scarlet, it is even more extremely low, almost breathless, as if even the earth is crying.
Bloody, hideous, and devastated.
"General, our heavy shield armor can't hold on for long!"
"If they don't stop tonight, we'll have to fight them tonight, and at the latest, we'll have to hold out until tomorrow morning. ”
On the viewing platform of the Liaodong Army, a general came to the front of Yuan Tianzhi, with a thick solemnity on his face and a lot of blood, and said in a deep voice.
In the midst of a great war, how can anyone be safe?
This general also participated in a lot of impacts and battles, and fought bloodily with the soldiers under his command many times, and now, the reason why he was able to return to Yuan Tianzhi's side was only because he was temporarily replaced by others because of the impact many times, and he began to rest, but looking at the situation on the battlefield, his face was still solemn.
Before, there were artillery, muskets, heavy shield armor and many other defenses, their consumption was actually very small, the most was the consumption of heavy shield armor, and the consumption of those elixirs, but then, if it was a short battle, then what was waiting for the Liaodong Army would be a real bloody battle!
At that time, the 20,000 troops may be completely annihilated on this battlefield.
"How's the situation in Beiying?"
Yuan Tianzhi heard the words of this soldier, the expression on his face did not change, he took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice.
"Over there in Beiying...... Not very optimistic either!"
The young general's brows furrowed slightly, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice,
"Although General Luo has a lot more manpower than us, the savages of Aberli are far superior to Goguryeo in terms of combat effectiveness, plus they are good at cavalry and horse warfare, half a day ago, they have completely broken through their heavy shield armor defense, and have begun to fight head-on, and the loss is not small!"
"How many people are left?"
Yuan Tianzhi asked in a deep voice again.
"Eight thousand people were lost. ”
"At the current rate of attrition, they will be able to survive another two days. ”
"As for us, if we have 20,000 people, we can withstand it for a day at most, after all, our number of people is too small!"
The young general's brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was more solemn, and even in this tone, there was a little more worry.
"It's okay, I just got the news, the overseer and the team of the East Factory have arrived, and we will be able to go to the East City early tomorrow morning, with the support of the East Factory, we will be able to support it thoroughly, now, we need to wait, Zhao Yuzhuo, can we really bring down the Xiancheng!"
"They're almost there now, right?"
As he spoke, Yuan Tianzhi raised his head and looked into the distance, which happened to be in the southeast direction, the direction of Goguryeo.
This sight is full of coldness, and there is a solemnity that cannot be concealed, and even a little resolute.
It's already the last moment, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, this time, whether it is success or success, it only depends on the last knife of Zhao Yuzhuo and others!
In his heart, he also had a little expectation and nervousness.
"Zhao Yuzhuo brought 50,000 people over, even if there are still people in Xiancheng, it is enough for him to fight down, if this can't be defeated, then even if Lao Tzu is dead, when he arrives in the underworld, he has to clean him up!"
When the young general heard Yuan Tianzhi's words, there was also a hint of coldness on his face, and then he said in a cold voice.
"Haha...... If he really can't beat it, when he arrives in the Netherworld, the old man will also have to talk to him well. ”
Yuan Tianzhi also laughed a little when he heard the general's words, and when the words fell, he twisted his neck slightly, and then waved his hand directly,
"Take the old man's knife, if you go to the battlefield, the old man's old bones are still okay!"
"Can't let you see the joke, can you!"
"The general's sword is not old!"
The young general smiled slightly, arched his hand, and then a strong grandeur flashed on his face, and said,
"It's an honor for us to fight with the general!"
"The luck of this life!"
"The last general guarantees that my Liaodong Army will be able to protect the general's safety before it dies!"
"Haha......"
Yuan Tianzhi listened to the general's words, and the blood in his heart was also ignited more violently, he took the treasure knife that had not really fought on the battlefield for many years, gently pulled out the scabbard, and then said with a smile,
"It's a blessing for the old man to have you!"
"Let's be here in the latter, and when his Goguryeo cavalry really breaks through our heavy shield armor defense, we will have a face-to-face fight with them, so that they can truly see the power of our Liaodong army!"
......
To the west of Xiancheng, about a few miles away.
In a dense jungle, countless soldiers of the Liaodong Army hibernated here, there was no fire, no sound, even the war horses were controlled by their respective masters, without making a sound, from a distance, here is a black ocean, countless cavalry are waiting.
But if you don't see it with your own eyes, you don't notice it at all, they are too quiet.
"Have you reached those people?"
In this somewhat dead silence, Zhao Yuzhuo's eyes were also extremely hot, and even looked at the chief of Lijinglou who had just returned with a little anxiety, and asked in a deep voice.
They galloped all the way, almost regardless of the loss, shortening the original five days to a day and a half, at this time they came to Xiancheng, while letting the cavalry and war horses rest, while preparing to contact the Lijinglou spies in the city, just now, this chief Binshi went to Xiancheng to explore the way.
The news he brought back was largely related to the progress of this cavalry team, so whether it was Zhao Yuzhuo or the few generals next to him, they were all very nervous and worried.
"Got in touch!"
The young Lijinglou chief's gaze swept over everyone, let out a long breath, and then said in a deep voice,
"We sent the letter in the unique way of Lijinglou, and we have already sent the letter into Xiancheng, but we still have to wait for their answer to know whether the time we have determined, and the plan, whether it will work. ”
"How long?"
Zhao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice, he was already in a little impatient.
In the war on the other side of the city in the east, he knew very well in his heart that there were only 100,000 people left in the Liaodong Army, and it was too much pressure to deal with the Aberli barbarians and Goguryeo with a total of 300,000 people, and in addition, the combat effectiveness of the Aberli barbarians was so strong that he was not sure that the latter would really be able to survive six days.
If you can't hold on, then even if you defeat Xiancheng by then, it won't help!
He must be as soon as possible!
"Two hours, within two hours, there will definitely be news coming out of Xiancheng, and by then, everything has been prepared, and we can do it too!"
The young Lijinglou chief took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Good!"
"Wait, just two hours!"
Zhao Yuzhuo took a deep breath, then turned his head, looked at the generals behind him, and slapped his right hand heavily on the stone where the map was placed, and said in a particularly sharp voice,
"Two hours later, if we can't get a reply from Lijinglou, we don't need to wait any longer, we will directly send troops to attack Xiancheng, and I will also directly break this city in a way that costs nothing, and give our comrades in the eastern city to buy time and reduce pressure!"
"Do you understand?"
Zhao Yuzhuo's words fell, and the generals also nodded one after another, and then clenched their right hands into fists and smashed them on their chests, with indescribable fierceness in their voices, and roared,
"The general can rest assured, he will not be dishonored!"
Crash!
Crash!
After the generals finished speaking, they retreated, and then began to busily start arranging in their respective camps, while resting, while preparing for the forced city that might appear in two hours, with the gradual issuance of the order, the atmosphere in this barren forest became extremely depressing.
Even, there was an endless chill permeating out, and the whole world seemed extraordinarily gloomy.
Strong.
When the night was so low and depressing, in Xiancheng, the few spies left behind by the Lijinglou also got the news, and at this time, the three spies had already come together and discussed the countermeasures to this matter with a solemn face.
"They want to attack Xiancheng, the army has already arrived outside Xiancheng, if we want to cooperate inside and outside, open a city gate, what can you do?"
In a solemn voice, a middle-aged man who was a little older and had some gray hair on his face said in a deep voice.
"Open the city gate, although there are not many soldiers guarding this fresh city, but relying on the strength of the three of us, it is also very difficult, if those people are still there, maybe it is still possible...... But ......"
A young man frowned, and did not say anything more.
In order to detect the news of the Goguryeo and Bronon Empire, they lost a lot of people, and they were forced to withdraw most of the spies from Xiancheng, and now there are only three people left, and it is really difficult to open the city gate!
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. ”
"The Liaodong Army is fighting bloodily in the east of the city, delaying the Northwest Commanding Army, these 50,000 cavalry, and they have come by trekking, such a good opportunity must not be missed, no matter what, we must help them complete it!"
"Even if it's ...... We're all going to die here, and we're not going to hesitate!"
The middle-aged man swept over the two brothers with a frown and said in a cold voice.
In these words, there is a surging and cold atmosphere, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
"We all get it!"
The remaining two looked at each other, were silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said in a condensed voice,
"It's not like we're out of the question, it's just a bit of an adventure!"
"When they withdrew, they left me with a small batch of black powder, which was originally used for other things, but now, since the city gate is going to be opened, then it doesn't matter anything else, use it!"
"We personally brought gunpowder over and detonated it at the city gate, even if we can't blow up the city gate, it can definitely cause huge damage, and it can be regarded as doing our best for the brothers of the Liaodong Army outside the city!"
"Good...... Send them a message!"
