Chapter 964: Nanqiu County City Break (II)
Zhang Jie replied to Qu Heng with a wry smile.
On the high platform outside the city, "No, are you still unwilling to send more troops?" Tang Qi observed the anomaly on the city wall.
"The strength of the defending city is transparent to our army, at the moment only one city wall is attacked, they should have enough reserves, the only explanation is in the defense of the class master. The chief of staff of the Northern Third Army pointed out sharply.
Tang Qi raised the angle of the telescope, "Well, let all the magicians in the East Camp go up together, and the infantry will suspend the attack." Hehe, Master Ban, don't make a move for the time being, everyone should have enough rest at this time. ”
Mages are constantly flying out of their own barracks and joining the assault on the walls.
Fireballs, walls of fire, fire ravens, wind blades, whirlwinds, water arrows, ice arrows, sluggishness, stone bullets, ground spikes, etc., a large number of low-level magic mixed with intermediate magic were sprinkled on the wall, but the number of your own army decreased faster than that of the young army.
Zhang Jie's face became ugly, and he immediately ordered: "Gather all the magicians, and the first team will go to the city to rescue!"
It is not difficult to see the intention of our own army, which wants to cleanse the defenders with overwhelming magical power, and it is impossible to hold the city wall if the Eighth Brigade insists on it.
Feng Liang led the first team of all-colored elite armor to rush to the city wall, and took the lead in slashing a sword ray, targeting a white-robed magician who was about to cast the fire crow dance. The knights behind him sent out swords and spears one after another, and a pile of bright red fighting blades either attacked the magician or intercepted the magic, and the fight was very brilliant above the eastern city.
Hey, a white-robed magician of the 201st Division shot a magic light bullet, and Qu Heng also shot one with his hand, beckoning the remaining magicians to fight.
There are indeed a lot of magicians in the three northern legions, each division has nearly forty people, no worse than the regular army of Shaodian State, and the five divisions of the East Battalion add up to nearly two hundred people, which has an overwhelming advantage over the more than thirty magicians of Shaodian Country above the city wall.
However, the first brigade on which the 201st Division relied on its fame was all knights, and a thousand low-level knights were enough to offset the advantage of their own country's magicians.
Tang Qi didn't have a thousand knights under his command, and he could pick out a few thousand of the 100,000 army, but he didn't want to use knights like this, and it was inconvenient for the Douqi Blade to attack under the city.
"Master Ban, can you completely wipe out those knights in the city?" Tang Qi turned to ask Ban Tu, who was sitting next to him.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, there is a preparation time for casting the forbidden spell, such a big movement will definitely be detected in the city, those knights can escape from the core attack circle, and at most half of them can be destroyed. ”
Ban Tu is a forbidden magician, and the range of forbidden spells cast is limited, so if the rule magician makes a move, then the whole city will not be able to escape.
"That's right. "Of course, Tang Qi wants to completely destroy the first brigade," and ordered the other three large battalions to attack the city!" He gave up the idea of asking Ban Tu to strike now, and instead adopted another set of tactics.
The support of the first brigade finally stabilized the defense on the city wall, and Feng Liang helped Zuo Jun to the rear of the fortifications and let the military doctor treat him. Under the fire of several tower opening magicians, the captain wearing fine armor finally couldn't support it and was injured.
"My people?" Zuo Jun looked around for his subordinates.
"Hey, you're all like this, think about what they're going to do. Feng Liang's heart was heavy.
Less than half of the Eighth Brigade was attacked by several waves of magic, and less than a quarter remained.
"Damn!" Zuo Jun slammed his fist on the ground, "I didn't complete the task assigned by the adult." ”
The remaining 200 or so people of the Eighth Brigade were still wounded, and they could not hold the next wave of siege.
Feng Liang hurriedly persuaded: "Lao Zuo, go down and rest first, brothers who have not completed the task to help you, the division is not established by a brigade." ”
"Lao Zuo, Lao Zuo," Chen Chishi ran up the city wall, his third brigade following behind, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhang Jie had to change his guard in advance.
"Reported, the North City was attacked. ”
"Reported, the West Side was attacked. ”
"Reported, the southern city was attacked. ”
Three heralds came one after another.
"He is worthy of being the commander of the elite army, and the rhythm of the attack is quite precise, hitting my soft underbelly everywhere. Zhang Jie felt struggling in the fight with Tang Qi.
The other three walls each had a brigade of city defenders and a brigade of regular troops, with 2,000 auxiliaries, which normally could hold the day, but by night the troops in the county were overstretched.
However, will Nanqiu County still hold out until the evening?
As soon as the sun was overhead, and it was time for lunch, Ban Tu, the forbidden magician of the Northern Third Legion, suddenly appeared in the East City, ready to cast a forbidden spell under the protection of nearly two hundred magicians.
Zhang Jie immediately ordered the evacuation of the eastern city wall.
Frozen Earth, a forbidden magic of the water system that evolved from the frozen realm, a place covered by frozen spiritual power, people and things that are not more than ten meters above the ground.
Bandi's spiritual power envelops an area three miles long and five hundred meters wide, such a large range of attack magic, the single attack power is not strong, and the fifth-level combat power in the center can be carried down, and below the fifth level will be frozen into ice.
What is the proportion of fifth-level combat power in the army? More than ninety percent of the people who have been smashed by a forbidden spell can't bear it, this is the terrible thing about the forbidden magician.
The army seized the opportunity to storm the city wall, and almost all the defenders who had no time to escape were reduced to ice sculptures, which were broken into several pieces with a single shot.
This Frozen Earth attack was not the largest attack range of Bandi, he aimed at the soldiers defending the city, and tried his best to avoid accidentally injuring civilians. The destructive power of the Forbidden Mage is certainly terrifying, but they are not murderers, and they will minimize the harm to innocent people if they can control the situation.
Zhang Jie grabbed Hou Bing's collar and ran wildly for a mile, and when Ban Di was preparing to freeze the earth, he jumped off the city tower, and happened to meet the county guard who wanted to understand the battle situation.
"This, this, this ......" Hou Bing was stunned and couldn't speak.
He couldn't feel the violent energy fluctuations, and he could see a frosty white area, especially those who were running one moment and frozen the next, the sight was bloodless but bloody.
"The city is not broken, most of the city and the other three walls are still in our hands, and we still have the strength to fight the enemy in the streets and alleys. Zhang Jie shouted loudly in Hou Bing's ear.
Banda's forbidden spell engulfed the auxiliaries and most of the third brigade on the city wall, but the first brigade that assisted in the battle almost all escaped, and the fifth brigade prepared under the city did not suffer much loss. This is the result of Zhang Jie's early preparation, otherwise at least half of the people will be left.
"Street fighting?then, what should I, the official do?" Hou Bing found that there were many soldiers around, and realized that he needed to keep his composure, so he acted like the head of a county.
"Lord Hou, I suggest that you stick to the county guard, which is the last fortress in the city. ”
Zhang Jie couldn't help Hou Bing too much, it was impossible for the 201st Division to concentrate in such a small place as the county guard's mansion, and another forbidden spell would be annihilation.
Watching Hou Bing walk away, Zhang Jie said to Feng Liang: "You gather the first brigade and take the magicians of the division and President Qu to break through from the west together. ”
Feng Liang pointed to the city wall, and at this time, the banner of the Northern Third Army had been erected on it, "The city gate will be breached immediately, and there are less than 7,000 people left in the division, my lord!
"Get out! Get out with the last flame of the division! If you don't want the 201st Division to be wiped out, you will carry out the order!" Zhang Jie pointed at Feng Liang's nose and roared.
"My lord, we have been fighting desperately for most of the day, and now that the city wall has been broken and besieged, the responsibility of defending the land has been completed, and the task of my subordinates now is to rescue you and the remaining comrades. ”
"Zhang Yulu, take down Fengliang, and Ji Xing took over as the first captain. Zhang Jie lost patience.
"Then I'm sorry, my lord. Ding Yu, please take action. Feng Liang leaned sideways and let someone out.
Ao Yu, who had an indifferent face, flashed behind Zhang Jie, raised his palm to stun him, and then stared at Zhang Jie.
Zhang Gulu froze, hesitantly looking at Ao Yu and then at Feng Liang.
"Retreat, let's retreat to the South Bazaar first and gather the other brigades. Zhang Yulu, the lord has been restrained by us, but we just want to take him out alive, this is what the former deputy division commander meant. Feng Liang explained to those present.
Ao Yu's appearance made many people suddenly realize that the county town could not be defended, and even if Ao Yu made a move, he could only delay the time of the fall, but with him in the background, the possibility of breaking through was much greater.
"You guys find a way to break through, I'll help Lord Hou defend the county guard. Qu Heng saw everything in his eyes, but as Feng Liang said, the 201st Division had done its best, and there was no need to bury all of them here.
Several other captains guarding the eastern city acquiesced in Feng Liang's leadership, arranged for the death squad to break off, and the large army rushed to the market in the south of the city.
Twenty miles east of Nanqiu County, a group of men and horses marched in the wilderness, and from time to time a small group rushed out to kill the scouts of their own country that appeared nearby.
This team is Ding Kui's special operations battalion, but there is no Ding Kui in the team, and the leaders are Liangchong, Qianyou, Ding Cai and other personal soldiers.
"Lord Ding didn't lie to us, did he, did he really go to Engong for help?"
"Hehe, don't worry, the colt must have gone to find Master Xie, how can we attack our own army's camp, plus a fire forbidden law is different, if you smash a forbidden spell by surprise, any camp can be broken. Qianyou looked back and smiled.
It turned out that Ding Kui left before the team left, saying that he was contacting Xie Peng to come over to help, and it was not good to sneak attack his own army camp without the help of a sixth-level combat power.
Bai Yun and the others already knew about Xie Peng's promotion, and the Fire God of the year made him jump two levels in a row and became the first brother of the group battle - the forbidden magician of the fire system.
In terms of the ability to attack the fortifications, the Fire Meteor is a cut above the Frozen Earth, and the Burning City is comparable to the big killing move of nuclear weapons, but Ding Kui has not yet learned this move. The Burning City is much more complicated than the Fire Meteor, and he has recently studied qi magic, and he hasn't had time to learn so many fire forbidden spells.
"Look, there's someone flying over there!" Ryoshi pointed to the western sky.
"Is it Eungong?" Bai Yun asked excitedly.
