After the initial simple test, Shao Diantai decisively ordered a strong attack. Ding Kui could clearly see his arrangement, and he could also clearly see the situation in the Beida camp. This confrontation was a head-on confrontation without many fancy tactics.
The 91st Division is Shao Diantai's trump card. It has almost concentrated the best equipment of the Tenth Army. It was not too outstanding in the past. After several battles, they are now far ahead of other divisions.
The 15,000 men of the local army miraculously returned to their main formation. None of these people who were on the battlefield for the first time deserted. Even after the formation, they were still in a row. Everyone was venting their joy for the rest of their lives after the war.
Shao Diantai, who was high up in the air, rushed down and made a gesture. Ju Zun led the guards and ran into the local army, shouting: "All infantry move to the rear of the main formation and form a circular formation to defend on the spot."
The ace troops have already attacked, and there are cavalry divisions behind them waiting for reinforcements. How can we let this ragtag group block the road? It would be better to throw them to the back and let them fend for themselves.
Gan Yun played the string with five fingers and shot four arrows in an instant, intercepting four rockets in the air. He then put away the short bow and replaced it with a long bow. He picked up three magic-breaking arrows in his right hand. A female general wearing fighting spirit armor appeared in the enemy camp.
.
Suddenly, his ears trembled slightly, and he immediately turned his head and looked back. Five teams of cavalry were chasing him quickly.
With a squeak, a loud arrow flew into the sky, "Everyone listen to the order and get out of the passage!" Gan Yun ordered loudly.
At the same time, Han Ruren from behind a crossbow cart shouted: "There are all crossbow carts, shoot quickly!"
More than 10,000 sailors formed multiple shield formations. When they heard the horn blowing from the general's flag, the officers shouted: "Phalanx, give up the passage!"
Some of the soldiers in the front row took two steps back, and then moved left or right. The multi-row shield array split into five channels. However, Beidaying suddenly fired giant crossbow arrows, in groups of two, towards the soldiers who were about to move.
The shield was cracked, crossbow arrows penetrated the chest, and several soldiers were even shot into the air. The shield formation was slightly chaotic.
How could a wooden shield block a giant crossbow? A crossbow could penetrate the large shield of the navy at five hundred paces, not to mention that they were only two hundred paces away from the Beida Camp.
The five groups of crossbows were exactly aligned with the opening of the shield formation. It must be said that Qiao Meng had a sharp eye. He judged the position of the formation change based on the marching posture of the navy, and specifically ordered Ming Hanrujian to prepare in advance.
When Han Ruren saw the sound of arrows, his first reaction was that the enemy was about to change formation, and the purpose of changing formation was to allow the cavalry to pass, so he promptly ordered the ballista to attack.
Corpses are also obstacles. War horses trampling or jumping over corpses will affect the rhythm of running. Han Ruren, the commander of the knights and infantry divisions, is very aware of this, and the ballista will directly attack the cavalry next.
As Ding Kui expected, there was indeed a problem with the opponent's cavalry and cavalry coordination. The cavalry's arrows were still about 200 steps away from the rear of the shield formation. Gan Yun ordered the formation change too early, and five open passages were exposed to the defenders of the Beida camp.
"The heavy armored infantry changed to longer weapons and formed up behind the crossbow troops, and the crossbowmen formed up behind the infantry."
Qiao Meng commanded on the general stage, Xi Xiu reorganized the troops and horses off the stage, Han Ruren supervised the battle on the front line, Yuan Jinhui and Pi Zhi were responsible for coordinating the change of arms. The five generals cooperated like a legion.
Of course, Jiang Zhi was behind this. The chief of staff took on the important task of issuing arrows after Ding Kui flew high into the sky. He was the only person who could command across legions.
When the attack on the southern battlefield slowed down a bit, Wang Chou mobilized another 5,000 elite troops and personally led them to the Beida camp. Shu Li did the same thing in the West camp.
If the 71st, 74th and 75th divisions are added, the siege force and Shao Dianxi's reinforcements would be almost the same in strength. Shao Diantai sought a decisive battle, and Ding Kui did not dare to take it lightly.
Bang, Shao Diancang swung his gun and smashed a giant crossbow arrow, then shook out a few gun flowers and deflected the incoming bow and arrow.
He rushed at the front of the cavalry team. His dark red fighting spirit armor was particularly conspicuous among the khaki military uniforms, and was the most attractive to the opponent's long-range attacks.
"Hey!" Shaodian Wushang on the side actually grabbed a giant crossbow arrow with his bare hands.
This is the ace unit of the Ten Legions!
The most powerful knights of the 91st Division all rushed to the front. They vowed to break through the defenses of the Beida Camp in one fell swoop and crush the Beida Camp with the iron hoofs of the cavalry regiment.
The attacks of crossbows and powerful crossbows are equivalent to one blow from a person with level 5 combat power. Naturally, they have no effect on those with level 5 combat power. Moreover, the arrows of the five cavalry teams are all ten-man cavalry formations.
It can also withstand blows.
"It still has a strong combat effectiveness." Tan Shang said of the 91st Division.
"Haha, a unit with the same reputation as the 71st Division, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how downtrodden they are, they are still a bit weak." Ding Kui did not underestimate his opponent.
"Can Beida camp be defended?" Tan Shang couldn't help but worry.
"If we can keep the enemy behind, so what if the Beida camp is destroyed? Rushing into the camp during the day when the enemy is prepared is a very unsatisfactory battlefield for the cavalry troops. Such opportunities don't come around very often."
Ding Kui was born in a cavalry brigade. He knew the cavalry troops well and had considerable experience in dealing with them.
Seeing the 91st Division
To pass through the navy troops, Qiao Meng ordered: "The crossbow chariots should retreat, and the heavy infantry and crossbowmen should go up."
Although the front of the camp wall is covered with horse antlers, the opponent is an army of knights. The concentrated spear light and sword light are enough to open a gap. The ballista cannot stay in the front line, otherwise people will rush over and poke it into rubbish with one shot.
The ten ballistas were Han Rujian's treasures and Ding Kui's darlings, so there was no need to use them to withstand the knight's charge.
"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Shaodian Cang saw the ballista on the opposite side retreating, "Charge! 91st Division."
"Victory!" the cavalry in the rear roared.
Qiao Meng picked his ears with his little finger and said, "The voice is quite loud." He picked up a token and threw it to the audience, "Light the fire!"
For the cavalry charging at high speed, two hundred steps is only a matter of ten breaths. Shao Diancang waved his spear rhythmically, preparing to guide the cavalry formation to fire a powerful blow.
A row of torches flew out from behind the camp wall and landed accurately in front of the Juma Antlers. Boom, the flames jumped instantly. At this time, the group of magicians behind Ding Kui finally took action, and a series of fire wall spells were cast in front of the camp wall.
Brush out and block the path of the enemy cavalry.
The Tenth Legion also had magicians. They had been confronting the magicians above the Beida camp before. Seeing that the other side did not take action against the charging infantry and cavalry, they did not take action. Now that people were casting magic on their own positions, they had no time to stop them.
"Try to contain the enemy's magicians!" Shao Diantai ordered helplessly.
He knew that the number of his own magicians was smaller than that of the enemy, and the attack would definitely suffer. He only wanted the magicians from both sides to contain each other, not to help the battle on the ground.
Boom boom boom, the magic light bullet quickly rose into the air.
"It's annoying, Master, please arrange for some magicians to return to defense." Ding Kui was also very helpless. There are still a large number of magicians in Nanjing City. At this time, the signal of the Tenth Legion will definitely be seen. If they rush out together, they will be unprepared.
But no.
"Don't worry." Tan Shang turned and flew away.
Shaodian Cang smiled ferociously and rushed a hundred steps closer: "Hey, it's just a wall of fire! Go!" He fired out a half-moon light from his gun.
But a sense of alarm suddenly arose in his heart, and the horse under his seat suddenly fell into the "ground".
"Be careful!" he shouted as a warning, lowered the gun head suddenly, and stabbed down hard.
The northern siege used mixed tactics, including digging and burying the city for defense. Although the Beidaying could not do as well as the East Camp, and the entire rear camp was surrounded by deep ditches, Qiao Meng knew that the Tenth Army was likely to make a surprise attack, so he attacked several key points.
A pit was dug at the location, and there was one right in front of the back door.
Among the five charging cavalry groups, Shao Dian Cang was in the middle, facing the back door. The surface of the ten-meter-wide pit was covered with camouflage, and there was a wall of fire in front of it to attract the eye. It was impossible to see through the camouflage under high-speed charging.
"The archers and crossbowmen are free to fire, the armored infantry cover the iron pulley and block the passage in the camp, and the remaining troops protect the archery tower and watchtower. The reserve team gathers under the general's platform." Qiao Meng issued a series of orders.
Weapons were also taken out. Iron pulleys were not used in the siege of the city in the past few days.
The cavalry arrows were frustrated, but only affected more than a hundred people. There were tens of thousands of cavalry behind them. It would be a tough battle to defend the Beida camp.
Shao Diancang's spear was inserted into the ground, and the weight of the man and the horse plus the momentum bent the barrel of the spear. Fortunately, the horse had armor on its belly, and the sharp points at the bottom of the pit could not break through the armor and the horse could not be seriously injured.
"Get up!" He shouted, and his fighting energy was poured into the barrel of his gun, which immediately stopped his fall. The soldier next to him who had also fallen into the pit stretched out his gun and helped him jump back to the ground with his horse and man.
"Xiao Si!" Shao Diancang's eyes were bloodshot, and he saw the soldier struggling at the bottom of the pit, his body covered in the blood of his mount.
At this time, he couldn't care much. The cavalry behind him kept rushing up. Some fell into the pit and some jumped into the air. If he didn't move, he would block the road and cause more people to fall into the pit.
He dismounted and fought on foot, quickly rushed forward with his gun drawn, blocking all kinds of arrows while firing his gun light at the fire pit.
Han Ruren carried the long sword and stared at Shaodiancang. Since the distance was too far and exceeded the attack range of the sword, there was no way to stop Shaodiancang's actions.
The fearless knights integrated offense and defense and played a decisive role on the battlefield. The cavalry who jumped over and climbed out of the pit gradually gathered around Shaodian Cang and continued to approach the camp wall.
A good rider can jump ten meters on horseback, but then he has to withstand the most violent attacks from the defenders, including the crossbowmen's fire.
Shaodian Cang danced his spear so airtight, and there were Shaodian Wushang's personal soldiers guarding him, so he could barely stand. If it weren't for more and more cavalry rushing through the trap, it wasn't for Qiao Meng's order to commit suicide.
There was shooting, but if the gaps in the camp wall could not concentrate too many crossbow arrows, he would have been shot.
Ding Kui looked down at the soles of his feet, then looked up at Shao Diantai, and found that the other person was staring at him closely, so he made a fist gesture.
"Huh!" Shao Diantai crossed his arms with a proud look on his face.
"You are too old to be fooled." Ding Kui twisted his neck, "It's really uncomfortable to watch my subordinates fight hard."
More and more cavalry are approaching the camp wall. Shao Diancang has taken the lead in dismantling the cavalry, and the gate of the rear camp is in danger.
