When the fire dragon cannon shells exploded in the crowd one after another, Chu Taifeng's heart couldn't help but twitch. Chu Taifeng was not unfamiliar with the power of the Western Xinjiang Army's fire dragon cannon, but the enemy's fire dragon cannon's power yesterday The intensity of the attack is obviously not as strong as today's, and more importantly, the accuracy and focus of the enemy's fire dragon cannons today are obviously more focused. If yesterday's attack was mainly about bombarding with even force and slowing down the attack speed of the troops, then today However, the fire dragon cannon directly targeted the siege vehicles and siege towers, directly destroying their own siege equipment.
The infantrymen attached to the assault vehicle immediately became the biggest perpetrators. The enemy would often attack with two or three fire dragon shells in succession. Even though the assault vehicle was covered with fire-retardant paint and wrapped in various protective cowhide, but here There is still no way to resist the demonic fire from hell. In just a few minutes, the entire city ramming vehicle will turn into a tower of fire. The fate of the siege tower is not much better than that of the siege vehicle. Although the exterior is covered with iron sheet, it is not afraid of fire, but once the oil slurry exploded by the fire dragon shells splashes on the siege tower, it will become a huge disaster. Disaster, the burning oil in the siege tower can burn for more than ten or twenty minutes, and the thick smoke can make the commando soldiers in the siege tower dizzy and burst into tears, which is extremely harmful. affects combat effectiveness. But the most unlucky ones are the infantrymen hiding behind the siege vehicles and siege towers. Whenever the fire dragon shells explode, they are always the first victims. As long as there is even a little bit of it, the only way is to quickly remove all the weapons on them. Take off all your clothes, otherwise this magical fire will turn you into a skeleton in a few seconds.
Seeing the soldiers rolling and stumbling on the ground with their whole bodies on fire, Chu Taifeng deeply regretted that he could not find suitable weapons and means of restraint. The development of Xijiang in this aspect was far ahead of the empire. The other side is even worse. Just the supplies to prepare for this Yunzhong battle have already made His Royal Highness the King of Yan very strapped. If His Highness the Thirteenth Princess hadn't come forward to spread the supplies, I'm afraid it would be difficult to prepare enough supplies. Thinking of this , Chu Taifeng felt even more how heavy the burden was on his shoulders. No matter how difficult this battle was, only by completely winning this battle could he be worthy of His Highness King Yan's hard work. Only then can the situation be truly reversed.
Chu Taifeng had already arranged for his side's catapults to concentrate on attacking the local fire dragon cannon firing site to suppress and destroy the threat of the enemy's fire dragon cannon. However, the enemy was obviously well prepared and various protective tools were emerging in an endless stream. If he wanted to use this method It is too difficult to achieve the goal. Fortunately, the enemy's fire dragon cannons are not endless and are suppressed by our own catapults. It also had a certain effect. In addition, as long as the ramming vehicles and siege towers were pushed under the city, the fire dragon cannon could no longer be a factor in determining the outcome of the war. Everything still had to be decided by a competition of strength.
After Kamapov noticed Chu Taifeng's desperate intention from the beginning, he immediately strengthened the preparations of the reserve team. It seemed that Chu Taifeng did not intend to tangle with him for too long. In order to see the outcome within two or three days, he spent all his money on his main division. He obviously wanted to end the battle before the rangers rushed back to the clouds. This intention was too obvious, Kama There was no way Bofu would let the other side succeed.
However, the Dodon and Poole people also obviously increased their attack intensity in the east and west, although the intensity of the battle and the danger of the situation were far less than those in the east. But Kamapov still did not dare to underestimate the opponent. After all, each side had tens of thousands of troops fighting at the same time. Fortunately, the Yunzhong Garrison Division had been quickly replenished with the support of the people of Yunzhong Mansion. Although the combat power did not dare to compete with Regular armies like the Fifth Army were comparable, but the passion of the men in the clouds made up for their lack of combat experience to a large extent. As a supplementary team, they played a good role in supporting and supporting the North Gate and West Gate.
Another wave of offensive surged up, and two siege towers and an assault vehicle were set up in the southeast corner almost at the same time. There seemed to be sporadic flames on the outside of the siege tower. It was obviously affected by the power of the fire dragon cannonball, but the impact was not very great. There was a clatter of iron chains, followed by two loud "bang bang" sounds. The iron-clad doors of the two siege towers were set up on the crenellations of the city wall almost in no particular order. Dozens of armored Northern Army commando soldiers surged out of the siege towers with a bang, howling and screaming. Wu Dao wielded his gun and pressed down fiercely.
The soldiers from Western Xinjiang who had just had time to form two lines of defense rushed forward without hesitation. The commando soldiers in these siege towers were veterans selected from the Northern Army who had certain martial arts skills and had experienced many bloody battles. Both individual soldier ability and combat experience are much higher than ordinary soldiers. The first line of defense composed of soldiers from Western Xinjiang only had time to fight for two rounds before the opponent tore a large hole in the defense line and took the first line of defense with them. The second line of defense suddenly became precarious. At this time, the Northern Army's observation post, which saw hope below the city, immediately noticed this gap and immediately pointed the attack flag here. The soldiers lined up roared and pressed forward in a swarm. Dozens of movable ladders stood up in darkness, and they immediately looked like A forest seemed to be draped over this city wall.
At this time, all the reserve teams in the nearest corner tower were aware of the danger here. Dozens of soldiers from the kill team rushed up almost without anyone giving an order. The leader was promoted to this team just last night. Tie Lei, the captain of the sniper team, was seriously injured in yesterday's battle and was unable to perform his duties. Tie Lei's performance also made his superiors extremely satisfied. Good steel is used on the blade at critical moments. , just in time for Tielei to top this corner.
The iron water-milled Zen staff took the lead and swayed layers of dark clouds, like a huge pusher, and immediately pushed the swarming Northern Army commando soldiers away into a huge gap. During the violent shaking of the weapons, the Northern Army commando forwards The offensive was suddenly shattered, and the dozens of fighting team soldiers who followed them rushed forward desperately, and dozens of screaming arrows from the top of the turret penetrated at once. The Northern Army assault group, which had not yet had time to be stunned by this blow, suddenly had more than a dozen commando soldiers screaming and falling in a pool of blood.
However, the Northern Army soldiers who kept pouring up from dozens of ladders almost immediately covered the entire southeastern city. Although the fighters of the fighting team fought frantically, after all, the manpower gap was huge, and there were also many Northern Army commandos. There were many strong fighters with some knowledge of martial arts, which immediately offset the advantages brought by the fighting team, and the entire southeast corner suddenly became the base of the Northern Army.
Chu Taifeng couldn't help but stood up and clenched his fists. The surprise in his eyes could not be concealed. He did not expect that victory would come so quickly. With just one more effort, he could completely control the entire southeastern city wall, and the southern city wall. It is also a weak area controlled by the Western Xinjiang Army. As long as it extends outward along the south city wall, even if the Western Xinjiang Army can regain control of the southeastern city wall, it will not matter the overall situation. It only needs to obtain a city gate, and the situation has been decided. Unable to escape the fate of being annihilated, Chu Taifeng even saw success waving to him.
Almost at the same moment, both sides realized the changes in the situation in the southeast corner. While everyone in the Western Xinjiang was worried, everyone in the Northern Army was already smiling in surprise.
The breach continued to expand. The Northern Army firmly guarded that section of the base area. More ladders came through this section of the gap, just like countless roads, constantly transporting endless soldiers to the city. The fighting team was almost a Their robes were stained with blood, but the numerical advantage of the enemy still overwhelmed them. They even had to retreat step by step. Although they were extremely reluctant, they were unable to turn back.
Just when the generals of the Northern Army could not help but high-five each other, Chu Taifeng did not overly express his joy. As long as the last moment did not end, everything was uncertain. Chu Taifeng had witnessed too many things that changed dramatically in an instant. , although their side now firmly controls the southeast corner of the city wall, the Xijiang Army still behaves calmly in the whole situation, and does not cause chaos due to the crisis in the southeast corner. This alone makes Chu Taifeng dare not Overly optimistic.
As expected by Chu Taifeng, the Northern Army's excitement came too early. A running black line suddenly rolled up along the city wall from west to east like a black tide, and it suddenly expanded step by step. The Northern Army staggered within the control area of the southern city wall. The addition of this new force almost reversed the critical situation in Western Xinjiang. The battle for the southeast corner immediately entered the most critical moment.
The Northern Army, which had already firmly controlled the situation in the southeast corner, suddenly realized the danger. Now is no longer the time to expand the results, but to ensure that this corner must be controlled in its own hands so that the soldiers under the city can continue to follow. Transported here, only in this way can we truly ensure that we can live here. Of course, the people in Xijiang also have the opposite intention.
Chu Taifeng couldn't help but tighten his heart when he saw this sudden change. Although he didn't imagine that he could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, he still couldn't bear it when he saw that victory was so close. He always had a glimmer of hope, but the counterattack of the Western Xinjiang Army would undoubtedly destroy his glimmer of hope. He could not let this glimmer of hope be cut off.
Chu Taifeng immediately and decisively ordered the flag officer to signal the soldiers who were still waiting to climb under the city to concentrate on launching an offensive from the side to reduce the frontal pressure. This kind of partial encirclement and rescue of Zhao could not fundamentally reverse the situation, but it could relieve the already advancing troops. The defenders retreated.
