Chapter 1440: The Siege of Nanjing City (8)
After an initial simple temptation, Shao Diantai decisively ordered a strong attack. Ding Kui can see his arrangement clearly, and he can also see the situation in Beidaying, this time the fight is head-on, and there are not many fancy tactics.
The 91st Division is Shaodiantai's trump card, there is no one, almost the best equipment of the 10th Army is concentrated, it was not too prominent before, after several major battles, now they are a big step ahead of other divisions.
The 15,000 men of the local army miraculously retreated to their main position, and this group of people who went to the battlefield for the first time did not desert, but they were still making a mess after the whole team, and everyone was venting the joy of the rest of their lives after the war.
Shaodiantai, who was high in the air, rushed down and made a gesture, and Fu Zun ran into the ranks of the local army with his guards, shouting: "All the infantry move to the rear of the main formation, and form a circle to defend on the spot." ”
The ace troops have attacked, and there are cavalry divisions waiting for reinforcements behind, how can this rabble be allowed to stand in the way and leave them to the end and leave them to fend for themselves.
Gan Yun flicked the strings with five fingers, shot four arrows in an instant, intercepted four rockets in the air, and then put away the short bow, changed it to a long bow, and picked up three demon-breaking arrows in his right hand, and a female general wearing a fighting armor appeared in the enemy camp.
Suddenly, his ears trembled slightly, and he immediately turned his head to look back, and five groups of cavalry were rapidly chasing.
Squeaked, a ringing arrow flew into the sky, "Everyone listen to the order, get out of the way!" Gan Yun ordered in a loud voice.
At the same time, a cold blade behind a ballista shouted: "All the ballista carts, shoot quickly!"
More than 10,000 sailors lined up in multiple rows of shields, and when they heard the horn blowing on the side of the general flag, the officers shouted: "Dense formation, get out of the way!"
Some of the soldiers in the front row took two steps back, and then shifted to the left or right, and the multiple rows of shield formations split five passages, but the northern battalion suddenly shot huge crossbow arrows, in groups of two, towards the soldiers who were about to translate.
The shield cracked, the crossbow arrows pierced the chest, and even many soldiers were shot into the air, and the shield array was slightly chaotic.
How can the wooden shield block the giant crossbow arrows, the ballista can penetrate the big shield of the navy army in five hundred steps, not to mention that they are only more than two hundred steps away from the North Daying.
The five groups of crossbows happened to be aimed at the location of the shield array's cracking passage, and it has to be said that Qiao Meng's eyes were fierce, and he judged the position of the changing formation based on the posture of the navy's march, and deliberately pointed out that the cold was like a blade to prepare in advance.
When Han Rujian saw the sound of the arrow, his first reaction was that the enemy army wanted to change the formation, and the purpose of the change of formation was to let the cavalry pass, so he ordered the ballista to attack in time.
Corpses are also an obstacle, and horses that trample on or jump over corpses will affect the rhythm of running, and as a commander of knights and infantry divisions, Han Ru Blade knows this very well, and the ballista will attack the cavalry directly.
As Ding Kui expected, there was indeed a problem with the opponent's cavalry coordination, the cavalry's arrows were still about two hundred steps away from the tail of the shield array, and Gan Yun ordered the change of formation a little earlier, and the five open passages were exposed in front of the defenders of the Beida camp.
"The heavy infantry changed their weapons and lined up behind the ballista troops, and the crossbowmen lined up behind the infantry. ”
Qiao Meng commanded on the stage, Xi Xiu reorganized the troops and horses offstage, Han Rujian supervised the battle on the front line, Yuan Jinhui and Pi Zhi were responsible for coordinating the conversion of troops, and the five generals cooperated like a legion.
Of course, there is Jiang Zhi's deployment behind this, and the chief of staff took on the important task of issuing arrows after Ding Kui flew into the air, and he was the only one who could command across the corps.
The attack on the southern battlefield slowed down a little, and Wang Chou dispatched another 5,000 elite soldiers and personally led them to the Beida Camp, where Shu Li was doing the same thing.
If the 71st, 74th and 75th divisions are added, the besieging troops are similar to Shao Dianxi's reinforcements in terms of strength, Shao Diantai seeks a decisive battle, and Ding Kui does not dare to take it lightly.
Smack, Shao Diancang swung his gun and smashed a giant crossbow arrow, then shook out a few spear flowers, and pushed away the oncoming bow and arrow.
He rushed to the front of the cavalry ranks, and a dark red fighting armor stood out in a patch of khaki uniforms, attracting the opponent's long-range attacks the most.
"Hey!" Shaodian on the side was unharmed, and actually grabbed a giant crossbow arrow with his bare hands.
This is the ace unit of the Ten Legions!
The most powerful knights of the 91st Division all rushed to the front, and they vowed to break through the camp defense of the Beida Battalion in one fell swoop, and they would use the iron hooves of the cavalry corps to trample the Beida Battalion.
The attack of the ballista and the strong crossbow is equivalent to a blow from a fifth-level combat power, and it naturally has no effect on the upper fifth-level combat power, and the arrows of the five teams of cavalry are all ten-person cavalry formations, even if it is a blow from the peak combat power of the fifth level.
"There is still a strong fighting force. Tan Shang commented on the 91st Division.
"Hehe, a unit with the same name as the 71st Division, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and they are still a little bit down. "Ding Kui didn't underestimate his opponent.
"Can the Beida camp be defended?" Tan Shang couldn't help but worry.
"What if the enemy can be left behind, but the Beida battalion is destroyed? Rushing the camp during the day when the other side is prepared is a very unideal battlefield for the cavalry troops, and this kind of opportunity is not very common. ”
Ding Kui was born in a cavalry brigade, knew the cavalry troops well, and had a lot of experience in dealing with cavalry.
Seeing that the 91st Division was about to pass through the naval troops, Qiao Meng ordered: "The ballista retreats, and the heavy infantry and crossbowmen are on top." ”
Although the front of the camp wall is covered with antlers, the other side is a knight legion, and the concentration of guns and swords is enough to blast open a gap, and the ballista cannot stay on the front line, otherwise people will rush over and poke it into garbage with one shot.
Ten ballistae are cold as a blade's baby bump, and they are also Ding Kui's heart, there is no need to resist the knight's charge.
"Hurry up, speed up!" Shaodian saw the ballista on the opposite side retreating, "Rush up for me!" ”
"Victory!" roared the rear cavalry.
Qiao Meng plucked his ears with his little finger and said, "The voice is quite loud." He picked up a token and threw it offstage, "Ignite!"
Two hundred steps is a matter of more than a dozen breaths for a cavalry charging at high speed, and Shaodian Cang rhythmically brandished his spear, ready to guide the cavalry to shoot a powerful blow.
A row of torches flew out from behind the camp wall, landed accurately in front of the antlers, and boom, the flames jumped up in an instant. At this time, the group of magicians behind Ding Kui finally made a move, and one after another the fire wall spell came out in front of the camp wall, blocking the way of the enemy cavalry.
There are also magicians in the Tenth Legion, and the magicians who have been in the sky above the Beida camp have been facing each other before, and seeing that the other party did not attack the charging infantry and cavalry, they did not make a move. Now that people are casting magic on their positions, they don't have time to stop them.
"Try to contain the enemy's magician!" Shao Diantai reluctantly ordered.
He knew that the number of mages on his side was smaller than that of the enemy, and that he would definitely suffer a loss when attacking, so he only asked the mages on both sides to contain each other, and did not seek to help the ground battle.
Boom, the magic light bomb quickly rose into the air.
"Annoying, the master will arrange for some magicians to return to defense. Ding Kui was also very helpless. There are still a large number of magicians in Nanjing City, and at this time, they will definitely be able to see the signal of the Tenth Legion, and if they rush out in a concentrated manner, they will not be able to guard against it.
"Don't worry. Tan Shang turned around and flew away.
Shaodian Cang smiled and rushed closer a hundred steps: "Hehe, it's just a wall of fire!"
But a trace of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, and the war horse under his seat was light, and he fell into the "ground" entirely.
"Be careful!" he shouted warning, jerking down the tip of the gun and poking it down hard.
Although the northern battalion could not do the eastern battalion, the entire rear camp was surrounded by deep trenches, but Qiao Meng knew that the tenth army could raid, so he dug pits at several key points, and there was one in front of the back door.
Five teams of charging cavalry, Shaodian Cang is in the center, facing the back door, the surface of the ten-meter-wide pit is paved with camouflage, and there is a wall of fire in front to attract the eye, and the camouflage cannot be seen at all under the high-speed charge.
"Archers and crossbowmen shoot freely, the elite infantry covers the passage in the camp where the iron block is stuck, the rest protects the arrow tower and watchtower, and the reserve team assembles under the general's platform. Chaemon gave a barrage of orders. This time, even the weapon at the bottom of the box was taken out, and the iron block was not used in the siege a few days ago.
The cavalry arrow was frustrated, but it only affected more than a hundred people, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry behind, and it was inevitable to fight hard if they wanted to hold the North Battalion.
Shaodiancang's spear was inserted into the ground, and the weight of the man and the horse plus the momentum bent the barrel of the gun, but fortunately the horse had armor in its belly, and the spikes at the bottom of the pit could not penetrate the armor, so it could not seriously injure the horse.
"Give it to me!" he shouted, and his fighting spirit frantically entered the barrel of the gun, and immediately stopped the fall, and the soldier next to him, who also fell into the pit, stretched out his gun and helped him jump back to the ground with his men and horses.
"Little Four!" Shao Diancang's eyes were bloodshot, and he saw the pro-soldier struggling at the bottom of the pit, covered in the blood of his mount.
At this time, he couldn't care much, and the cavalry behind him kept rushing up, some fell into the pit, some jumped into the air, and if he didn't move, he would block the road, causing more people to fall into the pit.
He dismounted and fought on foot, rushing forward with his spear in his hand, parrying all kinds of arrows and firing spears at the fire pit.
Han Rujian stared at Shao Diancang with a long sword, because the distance was too far and exceeded the attack range of the sword, so there was no way to stop Shao Diancang's action.
The dreadnought knights integrated attack and defense and played a decisive role on the battlefield, and the cavalry that jumped and climbed out of the pit gradually gathered around Shaodiancang and continued to approach the camp wall.
A good rider can jump over 10 meters, but then he has to fend off the fiercest attacks of the defenders, including the crossbowmen.
Shaodian Cang danced the spear impenetrable, and there were Shaodian's uninjured personal soldiers beside him who tried their best to protect it, so that he could barely stand on his feet. If it weren't for the fact that more and more cavalry rushed through the pit, if it wasn't for Jomon's order to shoot at his own devices, if it wasn't for the gap in the camp wall where too many crossbow arrows could not be concentrated, he would have been shot long ago.
Ding Kui looked down at the soles of his feet, then looked up at Shao Diantai, and found that the other party was staring at him, so he made a fist.
"Hmph!" Shao Diantai folded his arms and looked proud.
"The old immortal is not fooled. Ding Kui twisted his neck, "It's really uncomfortable to watch his subordinates fighting hard." ”
More and more cavalry approached the camp wall, and Shaodiancang had already taken the lead in demolishing the horses, and the gate of the rear camp was in danger.
