Chapter 223: The fire burns the sky and mourns the ground
The general surnamed Mao jumped out, commanded his sergeants, and began to deploy troops, rushing over with great momentum.
If the king is separated from one side, he will defend the city.
Lu Qiu Mingda raised the white-robed young general like a dumpling high with a long lance, and shouted loudly: "Little prince, don't you want this friend's life?"
"There is no battlefield, I believe that Brother Jiang Xian will understand his brother's hardship. When the golden helmet general heard this, he looked at it, but his words were a little cold.
The white-robed young man whimpered desperately, as if he was anxious.
"The little prince is not afraid that he will not be able to explain to Ye Hou......" Lu Qiu Mingda continued with a sneer.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a gilded wind arrow arriving quickly, directly penetrating the silver-robed young general and nailing him to the pillar of the corner tower.
Looking in the direction of the wind arrow, a man in a Confucian robe next to the general of the golden helmet was putting down the gilded bow in his hand.
"It's a pity that Marquis Ye, the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and the Jiang royal family is missing a rare young handsome. The golden helmet general motioned to the man in the Confucian robe to step back slightly, and he took a step forward, and said with a sad face.
The corners of Lu Qiu Mingda's mouth twitched, and in the face of the other party's ruthlessness, he was really speechless.
The general surnamed Mao divided his army into two wings, each with 50,000 local soldiers, and began to launch a fierce attack on Ganling City.
The Chinese army is the 10,000 elites of the Immortal Dynasty Army, staying in place and waiting for an opportunity.
On Ganling City, with the arrival of Wang Ruoli, the captain Ke Bao gave up the command power very wisely and handed over Wang Ruoli to be fully responsible, after all, no matter the military rank or the soldiers and horses under his command, Ke Bao is far from Wang Ruoli.
At the moment of the great enemy, the captains under his command followed Wang Ruoli's orders and arrangements, and defended all parts of the city tower very cooperatively.
With Wang Ruoli's reputation in the army, especially his cultivation, the captains did not dare to have other thoughts at all. What's more, following a powerful general to the battlefield not only increases the security of life, but also has more opportunities for meritorious service.
Wang Ruoli's face was cautious, this battle was very important. In the past, most of the troops led were to conquer and suppress the Liukou, but this battle was the first time to face the Immortal Dynasty army of other Immortal Dynasties. Such an opportunity should not be missed, not only can you find out the combat strength of the Immortal Dynasty army, but also test the combat ability of the soldiers under it, if you can't even defeat these scattered and deep Immortal Dynasty troops of the Qi Dynasty, then you don't need to go to the Lizhou Prefecture, and you will die in vain.
Looking at the local sergeants who came from the other side with their shields raised, there was no formation, there was no military formation, and they simply adopted the tactics of crowds, Wang Ruoli was a little puzzled, what is the purpose of the other party? Adopt paralysis tactics? Or is it because the generals really don't regard the lives of these local sergeants as human lives?
Do you think that the arrows and crossbows that our side has to defend the city are not enough? Or do you rush up to send them to death? Wang Ruoli shook his head and suppressed all kinds of speculations in his heart, the so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover up, since the other side of the sergeant came to send him to death, he just consumed some more arrows, why not do it!
Wang Ruoli gave a decisive order, and suddenly, the arrows on the city were fired in unison, like a heavy rain, swishing down.
The 20,000 sergeants who attacked from the two wings of the Qi army raised their shields to resist, however, how could it be so easy to resist the arrows that poured down from the sky, and these local sergeants fell one after another, and by the time they rushed to the city, the number was less than 10,000. [@*Strange Literature.. !¥ Free Reading】
The city was replaced with short crossbow strikes, and within a hundred paces, the attack damage of these short crossbows was even stronger than that of arrows.
Three rounds of short crossbows in a row were fired, and there were very few Qi army sergeants who could still stand at the city gate.
Wang Ruoli looked at the Ganling City, the blood flowing wantonly, it was really human life like grass mustard, in less than half a pillar of incense, there were 20,000 lives, lying down under the city forever. However, Wang Ruoli's mood became more and more determined, and his eyes revealed a decisive and ruthless color.
Qi army in the army.
The general of the golden helmet looked at the local sergeants who were dead under the city, his eyes were calm, and there was no fluctuation in the slightest.
"Little prince, filling it with human life like this has no effect. The man in the Confucian robe next to him couldn't bear it, and said softly, "The other party should be a newly garrisoned army, and the city defense armament is complete, especially the arrows and crossbows, which are even more sufficient." ”
"I didn't expect these local sergeants to have any effect, but they just wore down the opponent's equipment and military spirit, and by the way, filled out a mountain of corpses. The golden helmet general spoke coldly, "This time he led the army to the south lightly, and the siege equipment was insufficient, if he fought hard to attack the city with 10,000 immortal dynasty troops, even if he occupied this city and annihilated the enemy army, I am afraid that the loss of soldiers is too great, and it is difficult to accumulate power, and it will inevitably be compared by my younger brothers." ”
"Sir, don't worry, whether the local sergeant is killed or injured or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. The golden helmet general saw the slight change in the face of the man in the Confucian robe, and then said, "After this battle, this prince can ask the Marquis of Ye for another 200,000 local troops. ”
The man in the Confucian robe nodded, but said no more.
Ahead, military orders are like a mountain.
With the second siege order of the general surnamed Mao, the charge was launched, and 20,000 local soldiers rushed up and staged the same scene. However, this time, the impact hit the city gate.
This was followed by a third wave......
Wang Ruoli in the city, seeing the successive attacks of the Qi army, frowned slightly, turned to Ke Bao and commanded a few words.
Hearing this, Ke Bao blinked his eyes like a leopard, his face hesitated, and he looked up at Wang Ruoli's condensed face, so he had to agree and take his soldiers into the city.
Wang Ruoli mobilized the heavy crossbow arrows in Ganling City, as well as the ordnance brought with the army, and arranged eight crossbows and ten trebuchets along the city wall.
Although Ganling City is not big, it has a garrison of a Immortal Dynasty military academy captain battalion and 30,000 local soldiers, so it can still cope with the strength of the city. What's more, if you occupy the city, you should take advantage of this advantage and seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on your opponent.
Wang Ruoli found that when it came to a large-scale battle, having a strong Immortal Dynasty army was really better than thousands of local miscellaneous troops, no wonder the Golden Helmet generals were disdainful of those local soldiers and had no pity.
The real key to this battle is to fight against the 10,000 Immortal Dynasty troops in the middle of the Qi army, and look at the opponent's armament and formation
Complete, the lineup is mighty, murderous, and definitely a strong opponent.
The Qi army went forward one after another, several waves of huge siege charges, although several times attacked the city tower, but encountered the resistance of the defending sergeants, and there was never much breakthrough result. Over time, rows of corpses have been piled up under the city.
Wang Ruoli sighed secretly, so many local sergeants are also a combat force, what a waste! The golden helmet general is really ruthless, in order to capture a city, he can decisively let so many local sergeants come to die. The Qi army could have used other siege methods instead, but the other party did not have it at all, and chose this most direct siege method.
"Little Prince, the Immortal Dynasty Army is on standby and asks to go to war. The general surnamed Mao approached and asked for instructions.
"Siege!" the Golden Helmet General decisively ordered.
This time, the Qi army was menacing, and the army was majestic, worthy of being the elite Immortal Dynasty army of the Qi Dynasty.
Wang Ruoli looked at this army, although there were only 10,000 of them, but they were majestic and neat, and they were far from being comparable to the chaotic Immortal Dynasty soldiers on hand.
It came so quickly, but seeing that the opponent's army was in full formation, the shields and halberds were staggered, and the protection was tight, it was very effective in blocking the rows of arrows and crossbows on the city.
By the time the other party reached the city, the army was still orderly and uniform, and not a single soldier was lost.
Wang Ruo was shocked, no wonder the Golden Helmet generals were disdainful of those local soldiers, such a lineup of 10,000 immortal Dynasty troops, even if they were tens of millions of local troops, could not be compared. The Immortal Dynasty Army, the cultivation equipment on the foundation, the power exerted at this moment is far from what those local soldiers can imagine.
Wang Ruoli couldn't help but sigh that the army under his command was too immature, and there were many things that needed to be tempered.
Due to the mountain of corpses piled up under the city, basically cultivators who have reached the three paths of foundation building can use the mountain of corpses as a foothold, expand the method, and jump onto the wall.
In this way, it was very difficult for the defenders of the city.
However, seeing that the vanguard team of the enemy army opened the way quickly swept in, the law was swift, and a few ups and downs swept the wall, and they should all be carefully selected officers above the rank of captain, all of whom were masters of Dan Yuan Sanhua.
Eight crossbows above the city wall fired in succession, killing several vanguard captains, but as a group of vanguard captains successfully attacked the wall and fought with the defenders of the city, more vanguard captains rushed up below.
Wang Ruoli sent out the sword, his hand rose and fell, and he killed several vanguard captains who jumped on the wall one after another, and when all the enemy troops entered the attack range, he immediately jumped to a high place, and ordered in a cold voice: "Release!"
But seeing rows of rockets in the city, they entered the Immortal Dynasty army formation below, although they did not hit the enemy sergeants, but they ignited the entire land under Ganling City.
It turned out that Wang Ruoli had just instructed Ke Bao to take people to the city to collect all the tung oil, spirits, saltpeter and other things, and move them all to the city.
Ke Bao heard what Wang Ruoli ordered to search, and immediately understood Wang Ruoli's thoughts, and hesitated a little, just because this method was too hurtful to the heavens and peace, not to mention burning the corpses killed on the battlefield
It is disrespectful to the dead. However, looking at Wang Ruoli's ruthless face, Ke Bao finally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly led people to search. The efficiency is quite fast, and it takes less than a pillar of incense to be ready.
Therefore, when the soldiers of the Qi Immortal Dynasty approached the city, the trebuchet was no longer throwing stones, but these flammable things. It's a pity that the other party is too confident and relies on military prestige to pay attention to these details at all.
Under the city, there was a sea of fire.
The flames of the sky seemed to burn everything under the city to ashes.
The Qi army that originally rushed over was dumbfounded, and the fire was rapid, but in a few moments, all the surroundings became a sea of fire, and there were mountains of corpses of 100,000 local soldiers piled up on the ground.
The smoke is scorching, the desolation and sorrow of the heart, the cries of pain scorched by the flames, the coughing sound of being smoky by the black smoke, and the wails of being burned by the fire, one after another, the pain is endless.
