The third Fanlin offensive and defensive battle began to enter a fierce state in the afternoon of the first day of the battle. The Kaman people ushered in a bloody afternoon after they were satisfied with the absolute upper hand in the morning. The imperial team entered the state and began to fight. Activating Fanlin City's excellent defense system one by one, from city defense facilities to military equipment, from the sniping methods of special forces to the display of new weapons, the emperor began to reflect the advantages of the empire's strong economic strength step by step. Every corner of the war.
The advantage of the Kaman people lies in their sufficient strength and high fighting spirit. They continuously launch offensives like rolling waves, so that the emperor, who is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, has to put reserve troops into the battlefield again and again. The city wall defense line is almost It may be broken through at any time. In this case, the reserve team will be used much earlier than Sang Sheng estimated. If this situation continues, Fanlin City may not be able to sustain it for even three days. Fortunately, the Fifth Army finally regained its breath, just like a stunned giant who was poured cold water on it and woke up at this time. After taking a multi-pronged approach, the Fifth Army relied on its good tradition, tenacious will and The superior weapons and equipment turned the disadvantage step by step, allowing the Kaman people to experience the beating they had experienced in the morning.
The use of new weapons suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the Kaman army's siege. Claudia, who pressed her hands on the handle of the wide and long knife, bit her lip and watched motionlessly as the fierce battle at the East City Gate was unprecedentedly fierce. There were countless sliding ladders. After setting up the top of the city wall, the hook was firmly fastened to the crenellations of the city wall with the movement of the mechanism. The city ramming vehicle faced bombardments from all sides and attacks by archers and crossbowmen. Thick smoke and flames continued to appear, but it was still tenacious. step by step closer to the city wall. The Kaman infantrymen licking their lips were waiting for the last moment. When the assault vehicle and the city wall closed, it was time for them to show off their skills.
The bulky mobile arrow tower kept advancing under the shouts of the soldiers. After entering the shooting range, the condescending arrow tower could give full play to its strike advantage. The crossbowmen attacked the Tang soldiers on the city wall one after another, especially the divine arrow snipers equipped with them. Almost every arrow could buy a life, suppressing the Tang soldiers on the city wall. Time simply does not dare to raise its head. However, the snipers of Datang quickly launched a counter-sniper attack, using snipers to counter snipers. The snipers of Datang, which had an absolute advantage in the range of activities, soon gained the upper hand in this contest. Every time the snipers of Kaman Their appearance will always be exchanged for one or two sinister and secretive sniper arrows. After losing many snipers, the Kaman people had to give up this asymmetric war, but this did not affect the intensity of the entire scene.
Every time the thunderous thunder flew in the sky, Claudia's heart was pierced by a knife, and countless brave Carmen threw themselves under this attack without warning. Every thunderbolt will trigger bursts of fire in the Kaman infantry phalanx. This vicious weapon is almost impossible to restrain, and there seems to be no other way except to avoid it. That still requires you to react quickly enough. The sweet potato-style thunderbolts held by the infantrymen of the Tang Dynasty made Claudia hate it. Even if you rush in front of them, you will have to think twice before you act as long as there is such a thing.
"Push out our thunder trains, it's time for them to perform." Claudia had no illusions that Fanlin City could be conquered in one day. Datang also spent a lot of effort on setting up the fortresses in several cities on the border. . The defense systems of cities like Fanlin Jiama have been reinforced and improved many times. Even if one's own side has an absolute advantage in military strength, it will only gradually become apparent after the Tang Dynasty's military losses are too large in the later stages of the offensive and defensive wars. Now is the time when Datang's defense strength is at its strongest, and it is not that easy to defeat them all at once. But now it is necessary to combat the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, even if the Tang Dynasty shows its power, although the Kaman soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, it will also dampen their morale, and their side also needs to adjust its attack rhythm.
When the Kaman people carefully pushed out dozens of attack vehicles that looked like catapults, Sang Sheng immediately realized that the Kaman people might have something new coming out, but the intelligence department did not reflect on the Kaman people. What kind of new weapons and equipment did the people have? In this case, Sang Sheng could only order the soldiers guarding the city wall to hide and avoid. The only way is to take one step at a time and see what tricks the other party has up his sleeve.
Dozens of dark balls flew up the city wall in the first round of projection. The earthenware pot fell and shattered on the city head. A strong oily smell hit his face. After seeing the pottery pot broken, Sang Sheng was suddenly startled by the black liquid flowing everywhere. This was kerosene, a specialty of some areas in the Western Region and the North. Its burning intensity is more fierce than tung oil. It is indestructible when exposed to water and sticks to it like maggots attached to bones. Once it burns, it will never burn out, and it is quite powerful. The damn Kaman people actually used this kind of thing. Fortunately, preventing fire attack is also an important part of the defense system. The wooden structures on the city head and around the city wall were dismantled to prevent the fire from affecting the battle situation. A large amount of sand and soil were piled up every tens of meters. Once It can be put out in time before the fire attack, but Sang Sheng knows that it is not that easy to put out the enemy's fire oil attack.
"Pay attention to isolating our thunderous thunder. The enemy must use fire to attack and isolate them in sections. Once a fire breaks out, put it out immediately!" The officers of the Fifth Army are also veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. When they see the fire spreading everywhere, oil, he began to instruct the soldiers to spread soil and sand on the ground of the city wall, which could effectively prevent the oil from flowing and spreading and prohibit the spread of fire.
When the flames of the Kaman roared, the light fire shield that was suddenly erected completely covered the entire wall for a while. This was also a specially devised method to gain time to put out the fire. The reserve team on the city wall had already rushed on it. He came up and lifted baskets of sand and spread it along the ground. A small number of rocket arrows still passed through the gap between the shields and landed on the wall. A raging fire suddenly ignited. But once the fire breaks out, a large amount of sand will cover it. Put out in the shortest time while thick and loose
The loose sand also paved an effective fire break on the city wall, which at least effectively prevented the spread of oil.
The roaring catapult counterattacked almost immediately, causing the thunder train that had just had time to launch two rounds to immediately suffer a devastating blow. Although an effective protection net was set up, huge stones fell from the sky, and even The protective net could not withstand this kind of blow that relied on inertia to exert its power to the extreme. The net was broken and the car was destroyed, and oil flowed across the road. A series of thunderous thunder even specifically searched for the location of the thunder train, so Claudia had to order The thunder trains temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, and one or two thunder trains were even hit by thunderbolts. They exploded at that time, causing fires all over the place, and the Kaman people suffered a big loss.
Claudia had to admit that the Tang Army's defense system was far more complete than he imagined. Various defensive weapons had formed a system that closely cooperated with each other. Although Claudia still insisted that his side could tear apart Breaking this defensive net, the degree of loss in his mind would be greatly increased, which also caused a shadow of worry deep in his heart. However, he also discovered a weakness of the Tang Army, that is, it seems that the number of Hongtianlei equipment is not very sufficient. If the Tang Army has sufficient quantities of such deadly weapons, it can cause greater damage to its own side and even change the entire battle situation. It's possible, but judging from the density of the thunderbolts launched by the opponent now, Tang Jun seems to be consciously controlling the use of this weapon, which also shows that Tang Jun doesn't have many trump cards in his hand.
The effective containment of the enemy's fire attack made Sang Sheng relieved. However, as Claudia expected, the number of thunderbolts equipped in Fanlin City was not sufficient, because it was impossible to predict where the enemy would break through. Although Kamapov estimated that Fanlin City might be the focus of the Kaman people's breakthrough, he still had to equip Jiama and Yulin with a considerable number of thunderbolts, especially in Yulin. Due to the backwardness of urban construction, the Kamapov invested more effort in Yulin. This even distribution method certainly ensured the safety factor, but it also resulted in a more limited number of weapons that were not abundant. If it were not for the purpose of attacking the Kaman people With such arrogance, Sang Sheng was not willing to use this killer weapon so early.
So far, the Tang Army has reversed the disadvantage in the morning and expanded its advantage step by step. Claudia is also aware of this, but he does not think this is the final outcome of the war. This is the first day. , the following war will be more cruel and fierce. The Liberians have already broken the boat and have determined that failure will lead to success. Let the people of Tang Dynasty experience the bravery of the Liberians.
In the morning, our army's attack achieved quite good results, and the damage to the Tang army was also considerable. The Tang army had less than 100,000 people in Fanlin City. Except for the two divisions of their fifth army, which were the main force, there were tens of thousands of others. The combat effectiveness is questionable. The more than 400,000 troops in his hands are almost all elites. As long as he captures this city, even if he sacrifices half of it, he has achieved his goal. After breaking through Fanlin, there will be too many attack points to choose from in the south. The Tang people's internal troops are weak. There is no way to stop their own army, and the armored cavalry can even attack them. The vast northern plains of the Tang Dynasty are the best stage for them to show themselves. By then, it will be time for the Tang people to howl and cry.
