Seeing the ferocious look on the coach's face, the subordinate team captains knew that it was impossible to get some time to rest and recuperate. The worst thing to do is to be discouraged after a long journey. Once they rested, they would probably be out of breath within an hour or two. It is better to fight to the death. Seeing the thick smoke in the city and the flames soaring into the sky, it is obvious that the internal response has also been activated. The city is just a mutilated security division, and our side is the best among the elite in the so-called imperial army. Is it even possible? Can't we take down this dilapidated town
"First Wing, Second Wing, and Third Wing, I will give you two quarters to rest and prepare. In two quarters, you will launch an attack and storm the south gate! The Fourth Wing and Fifth Wing will serve as reserves. Two hours later. Finally, I will stand on top of the city in the clouds!"
Lu Ge's voice became a little hoarse at this time. He chose to avoid the east gate with the most complete defense imaginable in the east, and devoted all his strength to storm the south gate. He was determined to capture Yunzhong City in one battle. In order to ensure the march, Due to the speed, the First Division and the Third Division had to put most of their siege equipment in the baggage train at the rear, and after encountering the swamp, in order to ensure that Yunzhong was captured in advance, the First Division and the Third Division The regiment had to divide into two groups, because there was no guarantee that it could pass through the swamp area, so it could only spread the risk as much as possible. Fortunately, its own division succeeded, and the third division has not been seen yet. Such a result It is only barely acceptable, as long as Yunzhong can be taken safely. In order to ensure the success of the siege, Lu Ge even ordered to give up part of the food and grass to ensure that the basic siege equipment was in place with the army. Now it seems that his choice was correct. As long as Yunzhong Fucheng is captured, everything will be fine.
Surrounded by the shouting and running soldiers, countless ladders suddenly attached to the city wall like a forest, and the enemy soldiers quickly climbed up the ladders like apes. Ma Liancheng suddenly tightened his heart, as if the ladder was hitting his heart like a whip. The enemy came too fast. He suspected that the opponent even launched the attack without any rest. The dark soldiers swarmed in like ants, and the poor The southern city wall looked so fragile at this time.
Ma Liancheng knew that the opponent would probably not choose the east gate as the main attack, but apart from the west gate, he had to focus on the east gate. After all, the east gate was the closest. Once you fall into the enemy's plan of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, I'm afraid the east gate will change hands in the blink of an eye. Now it seemed that the enemy was trying to get a breakthrough at the south gate with all his strength. Beads of sweat were rolling down his face. Ma Liancheng was faced with a difficult choice. From the beginning of the war to now, he thought he had not made any mistakes. But now the situation forces him to make a choice. Once he makes a mistake, the result will be the fall of the city. At this moment, he was a little resentful of his old boss who was still a few miles away. If they could arrive half an hour earlier, everything would be perfect, and there would be no need for him to deal with all this painstakingly.
"Order the Second Regiment to dispatch four brigades to assist in the defense. Keep the First Brigade to continue to garrison the east gate!" After squirming for a long time, Ma Liancheng finally gave the order to divide the troops to garrison the south gate. His order directly caused a satisfied smile on the face of Lu Ge, who had been standing outside the city observing changes in the situation. His men fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the First Division. Although the resistance of the Western Xinjiang Army was quite tenacious, the number and The difference in combat effectiveness cannot be made up for by bravery.
Seeing the mobilization of the opponent's troops above the city wall, a sinister smile flashed across Lu Ge's face. This kind of fighting the weak with the strong is all about being fast. The enemy has been attracted by his powerful offensive under the south gate. The force will inevitably tilt towards the south gate, which just gives the two regiment reserves that have been left to rest and recuperate an opportunity. The strategy of attacking in the east and west may seem simple, but it is not easy to do it well. It is necessary to attack the places where they must be saved. It is necessary to reach a situation of doom or death before the opponent's forces can be successfully mobilized. However, for a party with sufficient forces, this method does not make much sense. Fortunately, the opponent is not.
The battle at the south gate was particularly fierce. Nearly ten thousand emperors, under the leadership of the division commander Lu Ge, launched an all-out attack on the east gate. This decreased and increased, and the situation suddenly reversed. Although Ma Liancheng deployed quite sufficient supplies at the east gate Equipment, but whether it was a rock-pounding, rolling log or a ballista catapult, although it caused great damage to the attacker, the huge disparity in military strength soon caused the emperor to rush forward despite the rain of arrows and rain of arrows. Soon it spread up to the entire east gate city wall, and a large group of Xijiang soldiers were quickly lost in the dense ant-like imperial soldiers. With the loud bang of the city gate, the east gate of Yunzhong Fucheng was surrounded by the crazy imperial soldiers. It slowly unfolded with a roar.
When Ma Liancheng received the news that the East Gate had been lost, he felt his blood surge. An impulse almost made him forget his responsibilities as a city lord general, and allowed the blood from his bitten lip to overflow and slide down the corner of his mouth. Ma Liancheng painfully made the order to retreat and rely on the streets in Yunzhong City for street fighting. This was a somewhat cruel decision, which meant that the Western Xinjiang Army would have to rely on the streets and alleys to fight against the imperial army, and this kind of The war will have to involve many innocent people. The imperial soldiers who are red-eyed will not have any scruples. Everything that stands in front of them will be destroyed without hesitation. But he had no choice. If he could not use this method, he would not be able to buy time for the main force of the upcoming Fifth Army and win a city gate that could be freely entered and exited. Once all four gates of the city were occupied by the imperial army, his own side would not be able to win time. If you want to take it back, you don't know how much more you will have to pay.
Although Kamapov was anxious, on the surface he had to deal with it all with a calm expression. Looking from a distance, the Yunzhong City three miles away had been shrouded in burning smoke. Is it the rioters taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble? Yunzhong Fucheng has fallen, and he has no confidence in his heart. He thought that his arrangements in Yunzhong were thorough, but he did not expect that Situ Tai had also put in a lot of effort in this city that seemed to be firmly controlled by Xijiang. The rebellion in the city, the rebels that he and his party encountered The damage to the road caught him by surprise. Although he had speeded up as much as possible, it was still half a day later than originally planned. But this half day might be the key to deciding the battle.
At this time, the street fighting in the city has officially begun. Although there are only less than 10,000 people, the Yunzhong Guard Division has given full play to their familiar role, relying on several large buildings in Yunzhong City to stop them again and again. The impact of the Imperial Army, due to the tenacity of the Yunzhong garrison, caused the Imperial Army to control the east, south, and north gates, but they were still unable to clean up the Xijiang Army entrenched in the west, and they were already quite exhausted. The emperor almost gritted his teeth and persisted in this battle. Everyone knew that whoever could persist would win the final victory. The reinforcements still have not arrived. The Yunzhong garrison has no hope for the reinforcements at this time. All they have in mind at this time is killing, killing each other!
Both sides were furious, especially the fight around the West Gate, which turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In every house, every house, every meter of street, and every city wall, you could see the gnashing of teeth of soldiers from both sides. They were fighting to the death. In this case, long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows had lost their effect. The only means of fighting was face-to-face knife, spear and stabbing. The front line advanced step by step towards the city gate.
Ma Liancheng was in despair. He had already killed more than fifteen Imperial Army soldiers, and there were only less than ten soldiers left around him. The reserve team had long been used up. He saw the sharpness of the Emperor's Army breaking through his own body layer by layer. The defense line slowly approached until it was less than a hundred meters away from the city gate. You could even see the Imperial Army flag flying on the street. Yunzhong City had been lost. A helpless feeling of disappointment gradually spread from the soles of Ma Liancheng's feet. Ma Liancheng, who was all over his body and breathing heavily, didn't know if he should die here.
"Division commander, look!" When the remaining soldiers around him shouted in an almost crying voice, Ma Liancheng's blank eyes had no expression at all. However, looking in the direction of the soldiers' trembling fingers, he saw what was in front of him. This scene made him unable to control his body anymore, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, with cloudy tears flowing down the corners of his eyes. This scene will always be engraved in Ma Liancheng's heart. No matter how difficult the moment is in the future, he will be strong enough to deal with it. .
The Xijiang army swarmed in and almost collapsed the city gate. The rolling troops immediately strangled the emperor's army who had approached thirty meters away from the city gate. This new force seemed to be endless, and it instantly fell. The entire south city gate area was crowded, and the dark brown of Xijiang military uniforms quickly squeezed out the earthy yellow that once covered the entire Yunzhongfu city, and gradually moved towards the east, north, and south directions. Wave after wave came.
Kamapov looked at Ma Liancheng, who was almost being helped over. Ma Liancheng, who had suffered multiple injuries, had a sharply rising chest and a face that was pale from excessive blood loss. It made him look more like a man waiting to be killed, a little out of strength. When he came to Kamapov, he could no longer stand still. The general who was roaring like thunder just a moment ago, because the spirit of supporting himself relaxed, he could no longer maintain his strength and could be supported by others to stand in front of Kamapov. It was already his limit. The long-term high-intensity fighting had consumed all his energy. Now he just wanted to lie on the ground and have a good sleep. However, the arrival of the coach forced him to accept the coach's encouragement.
"Well done, Liancheng, now you have a good rest and everything in the cloud is left to us!" Perhaps this was the only sentence that Ma Liancheng wanted to hear the most. It was the last sentence he heard before he passed out.
