It is somewhat unexpected that the Western Xinjiang army arrived so quickly. It should be said that the reaction of the Machihan people was also quite fast. They had made considerable preparations before, including the preparation of a large number of defensive equipment and supplies, as well as the possibility of emotional changes among the people in the city. As the commander of the 30,000th Cavalry of the Seventh Corps of Machi Khan, Sedko did not expect that the drastic changes would come from the servant armies of Yue Jing.
When the swarming Western Xinjiang army chose the North City Gate as the main point of attack, Sedko was even a little happy. The four gates of Baling City, except for the east and west gates, are surrounded by waterways surrounding the city. It is quite difficult for the army to attack. The choice points can generally only be placed at the north and south gates. The defense facilities at the south gate are relatively sound and complete, so Sedeko will The main defensive force is placed at the north gate. A team of 10,000 people from the Yue Jing Servant Army serves as the main defensive force, another team of 10,000 people serves as a reserve team, and the last team of 10,000 people is responsible for guarding the other three gates. The commander of the Bakliyar Corps Before leaving, he specifically told Sedko to give full play to the role of the servant army, so that the servant army can act as the first line of defense against the impact of Western Xinjiang. His five thousand-man troops and five thousand cavalry troops can respond to emergencies. The reserve team played a role.
It's just that Sedko didn't expect that the Western Xinjiang people's decision to retake Baling would be so big. They launched an attack before the Lujiang navy in the west crossed Heshou Pass. But that's fine, since they chose the strongest defensive force. The north gate is just enough for the Yue Jing army to wear down the vigor of the Xijiang people. However, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, Sedko still placed four of his five thousand-man troops on the north gate to prevent accidents, leaving only one of his own thousand-man troops and five thousand cavalry. The team serves as a mobile force in order to prevent chaos in Baling City from affecting its own defense plan. Sedko ordered two thousand cavalry teams to be kept on armed patrol in Baling City at all times, and any signs of trouble that might arise would be severely suppressed.
In Sedko's view, he was quite safe in doing so. The latest emergency instructions from the commander of the Bakliyar Corps coming from the south only required that he must hold on to the city of Baling and not fall within two days, and he could do so at any cost and regardless of the consequences. By all means, it may sound weird to convey the order to yourself in this tone, but this shows that Lord Bakliyar attaches great importance to this matter. Within two days, Bakliyar will lead another two thousand troops and emergency reinforcements. The second regiment arrived, and there was even another Yue Jing servant regiment accompanying it. It seemed that the above were planning to hold Baling City firmly in their hands this time. As long as he can persist through these two days, his achievements will be displayed in front of the Khan and the Minister of State. Maybe being promoted to deputy commander will no longer be a distant dream.
Zamli stared at the black line that had begun to appear in the distance with a cold face. It should be the people from Xijiang. These damn Tanghe people really don’t know how to live or die. They forced the march to attack Ba without even taking a rest. Lingcheng simply regarded Baling as an uninhabited land. What Zamri said was purely an insult and the most outrageous expression of contempt for one's own side. If they didn't teach these damn Tanghe people a lesson, they would really think they were invincible. It's a pity that he only has 4,000 people in his hands. According to the captain's idea, these cowardly Yue Jing pigs must first consume the energy of the Tanghe people. Anyway, these Yue Jing people are always not so in tune, although they are not There was nothing unusual about it, but it was in Zamli's mind. These guys are never that reassuring, especially today's performance seems even more out of place. But Zamli couldn't tell what was wrong.
Seeing Zamli's falcon-like suspicious eyes wandering over him, Li Zhengyang seemed even more calm and composed. He knew that this guy was the number one warrior under Sedko. He is also the leader in the entire Seventh Corps. Not only is he ruthless, but he is also extremely suspicious. To a certain extent, this guy is even more dangerous than Sedko. It is said that Sedko is also the reason for his family power in the Macchi Khanate. Will sit in this position of captain of ten thousand men. Otherwise, with Zamli's ability, he should have been a commander of tens of thousands of cavalry or even a regiment commander. This time, it was obviously not a big deal for Sedko to put this guy and his most ferocious 4,000 infantrymen on the top of the city to hold down the battle. Don't worry about your side's combat effectiveness. Fortunately, Ruan Deyong's 10,000-man team was used as a support for his 10,000-man team. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to suppress Zamli's 4,000-man team with his own team of 10,000 people. But, As long as there are 10,000 people from Ruan Deyong to help, this problem will be much easier to handle.
While pretending to be shouting and deploying and busy setting up defenses on the city wall, Li Zhengyang turned his head and quietly exchanged glances with Ruan Deyong. The Xijiang people originally planned to stir up some trouble in the city to attract the attention of the Macihan people, but the Macihan cavalry team The density of patrols in the city was quite high, and it was difficult to find opportunities. It seemed that they had to stop. Everything is bet on the moment when the Xijiang people launch their attack. Chen Renwen's tens of thousands of troops are on standby at other gates, ready to reinforce his own area at any time. These guys are Ruan Wenjin's confidants and loyal lackeys of the Machihan people. If you want to It is not easy to instigate rebellion against them, and once Ruan Wenjin shows up, it is hard to say whether there will be some accidents for himself and Ruan Deyong, a team of two thousand people. Li Zhengyang and Ruan Deyong only dare to quietly leak the inside story to their absolute confidants, which is a little bit Neither of the unstable captains dared to point it out. Now they can only hope that the Western Xinjiang Army can rush into the city gate and completely control the north gate to let the main army enter the city at the moment they control the city gate. Otherwise, If the five thousand Machihan cavalry who had been waiting in the city were allowed to rush towards the city gate, the outcome of this battle would be hard to predict.
Ruan Deyong was also uneasy. As expected, Li Zhengyang fully supported Xijiang, forcing him to make a difficult choice. In this case, it is obviously impossible to stand still and be a mere wallflower. Whoever wins in the end will not forgive this. As a guy who sat back and watched at the critical moment, Ruan Deyong certainly knew that the reason why he finally chose to cooperate with Xijiang was because Xijiang gave him the guarantee that his family members had been quietly hidden in a safe place. However, at this time, he acted even calmer than Li Zhengyang. He was a little impatient and urged his soldiers to maintain a reinforcement posture under the city wall at any time, but secretly scattered his three most elite thousand-man troops on the tower. Around the lower city gate, Zamli didn't trust anyone else at all. Five centuries were guarding the heavy gate. If we want to solve the city gate problem in one fell swoop, we must first completely eliminate the 570th Corps. The best of the best.
Zamli glanced at the city wall with his cold eyes. In the stacks behind him were two thousand elite Machikhan soldiers. There was also a thousand-man team waiting at the bottom of the city. Five hundred elite soldiers were just following behind him. The air was full of There always seemed to be something a little unusual. Zamli's suspicious eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of Li Zhengyang and Ruan Deyong. These two guys seemed to be quite courageous. What was coming was the most powerful No. 1 in Western Xinjiang under Li Wufeng. There are two divisions in the legion. Have these Yue Jing people really never seen the bravery and strength of this army, or are they really confident and confident in their own strength? Zamli underestimated something deep down in his heart. The two guys seemed to be avoiding his gaze and trying not to meet his eyes. Zamli was a little suspicious, but he also knew that he was not very popular among the Yue Jing people. , this phenomenon of the other party seems to be normal, am I too suspicious
The neat sound of the Xijiang people advancing and the magnificent momentum attracted Zamli's attention little by little. Perhaps it was the reputation of the First Army of Xijiang that was too ostentatious that made Zamli finally choose to His attention was focused on the Xijiang Army who seemed to be preparing to attack under the city. What puzzled him was that he didn't know whether it was because they came in too hasty or because the Xijiang people were too overconfident. Except for some simple and lightweight ladders and light Arrow Tower, the Western Xinjiang Army carried almost no heavy siege weapons, which made Zamli secretly happy.
At this time, the sudden changes under the city tower made Zamli not know how to deal with it for a moment. The Yue Jing soldiers who had been waiting outside the city tower suddenly began to line up. The three thousand-man troops in front actually drew their weapons, and then Several thousand-man troops actually bent their bows and set up arrows. When Zamli, who was a little confused, cast his eyes on Ruan Deyong's face in surprise, what he was left with was a cold and ferocious smile.
Ruan Deyong's raised right arm suddenly waved down. The first wave of arrow rain from the five thousand archers behind him almost took away more than half of the lives of the five hundred unprepared Machi Khan soldiers guarding the city gate. He suddenly came back to his senses. The arriving Machi Khan soldiers formed a formation in panic while shrinking towards the city gate. Even if they didn't know why the Yue Jing soldiers suddenly turned against each other, they also knew that the purpose of the place must be the city gate, especially in this place. At that time, the Xijiang Army outside the city was waiting for the final blow.
Zamli almost broke his steel teeth, and his eyes almost burst when he saw Ruan Deyong taking away the lives of half of his favorite five hundred elite soldiers with his light wave of his hand. Although a thousand reserve troops under the city realized something was wrong and rushed up immediately, they were tightly entangled by Ruan Deyong with his two thousand soldiers. It was difficult to break the deadlock in a short time, and the five hundred elite troops were under the enemy's rain of arrows. Under the attack, they had no room to fight back and were wiped out by the three thousand commandos who rushed up. When Zamli just set his sights on the top of the city wall, Li Zhengyang's ten thousand soldiers were already overwhelming the two thousand who had not yet assembled. Five hundred Machi Khan soldiers rushed over.
