After destroying the siege equipment, the artillery fire continued, causing a large number of casualties to the Ross soldiers.
Lemon saw that the situation was not good. If this continued, he would become a target for other people's artillery. Before his own artillery could arrange a counterattack, he could only order his troops to retreat and retreat several miles before setting up camp.
Checking the casualties, in such a short period of time, more than 2,000 people were killed or injured, and almost all siege vehicles and catapults were lost...
It is said that since the landing operation, he has only lost a few thousand casualties in total. Now he has lost 2,000 people in just one battle. It seems that he has met a real opponent this time.
Fortunately, their logistical assistance was very good, so the wounded soldiers here retreated. The Yanyun medical team immediately used carts to transport them all to the rear for treatment. Although they were defeated, they were also stabilized to a great extent.
Military spirit.
Officer Yan Yun, who was in charge of logistics and transportation, asked Lemon if he wanted to transport the one hundred armored ballistas?
This was originally a well-intentioned suggestion, because with the armored ballistas pressing down the formation, his camp could be stabilized. Otherwise, if the Japanese counterattacked and charged into the camp, it would be difficult to resist.
However, Lemon thought that the officer was mocking him. Not only did he not accept his kindness, he also scolded him. Damn, are we attacking the city?
Although it was a small defeat, I expected that the Japanese would never dare to come so far out of the city to attack my camp. If they dared to come, they would all be wiped out!
We also have muskets and powerful crossbows, so we don’t need your broken ballistas!
Unexpectedly, this officer was actually Wei Yuntian's subordinate, and as we all know, Wei Yuntian has a crow's mouth, and his words are always good and bad...
That night, it suddenly started pouring rain, with thunder and lightning, and the clouds were so dense that visibility was almost zero.
Although the Russian soldiers on patrol outside the camp had their eyes widened, they really couldn't see clearly what was going on around them in this bad weather.
When a group of Japanese soldiers dressed in black approached like ghosts and were several meters away, they were suddenly shocked. They wanted to issue a warning but it was too late. They were all shot to the ground amidst the whizzing sound of crossbow arrows.
.
These Japanese soldiers are also very strange. They only wear black clothes without any armor. They wear straw sandals on their feet, and they all have bald heads!
They are the famous monk soldiers in Japan. Although these guys are monks, they are extremely brave in fighting and are also good at martial arts.
After more than 200 people sneaked into Lemon's camp like ghosts, they scattered like mice. They had no fighting skills at all and they would kill everyone they saw!
There is no need to be afraid of mistaking people in the dark, because you can tell whether they are friends or foes just by looking at their heads. And they came here with the intention of killing them and had no intention of going back...
Alarms sounded all over the camp, and Lemon suddenly woke up from his sleep. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and rushed out with a knife. However, Xiao Ye grabbed him and threw him back like a chicken.
"What are you doing, kid?" Lemon was furious.
"The situation outside is unclear, so you can't go out." Xiao Ye said calmly, "You are the commander-in-chief, so nothing can happen to you."
"Nonsense, they are stealing a camp, this is the most dangerous place!" Lemon said that the place we are in is the main tent of the Chinese army, the primary assassination target of the enemy's sneaking in. You kid doesn't understand anything.
"As long as we are here, it will be okay." Xiao Ye said.
Yama next to him glanced at him and said, "General Lemon, you'd better put on your clothes first. It's best to put on your armor."
"Where are my soldiers?" Lemon then saw twenty fully armed Cavalry Guards standing in the dark tent, but none of his own soldiers were there.
"Oh, they are all outside." Yama said.
"Why don't you go out?" Lemon asked.
"It's raining heavily outside..." Yama would never tell him that we were afraid of getting our clothes wet.
Twenty tall Cavalry Guards surrounded Lemon, while Xiao Ye stood at the door of the tent, holding a musket in one hand and listening to what was going on outside.
Although the shouts of killing are everywhere, they are all far away. After all, this is Lemon's Chinese army's tent, and there are hundreds of soldiers guarding it outside. Theoretically, it is impossible for anyone to kill them, but in theory...
Suddenly, there was a crisp hissing sound, and the thick cowhide tent above the head was cut open with a knife, and then two black thunder and fire bombs were dropped, which exploded with two pops, and the tent was immediately filled with smoke.
.
A black shadow fell from the sky, holding a short knife, and rushed towards Lemon from a high position!
But only two gunshots were heard, the black shadow let out a scream in mid-air, two blood flowers bloomed on his chest, and he died when he fell to the ground with a bang.
Yan Luofei kicked his body out of the tent and shouted loudly in Russian, "Be careful up there...Boss, what a good shot!"
The latter sentence was a slap in the face of Xiao Ye, because it was Xiao Ye who shot just now.
Although Lemon was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he was unscathed because just after the two thunder and fire bombs were dropped, he was thrown to the ground by Yama, and his huge body protected his whole body.
The power of thunder and fire bullets is very average, and Yan Luo and the other knights are all wearing heavy armor, and small shrapnel cannot penetrate them at all.
"Who is this person? He is so powerful?" Lemon tried to calm down, but he was actually shocked in his heart. There were his own soldiers outside, but this person could still get close. It was really scary to think about it.
"It seems like a ninja." Xiao Ye said.
Xiao Ye had encountered a ninja before, so he knew he was a ninja as soon as he saw the person's attire.
But this one is no ordinary ninja, but a type of ninja called a fighting ninja!
Not only are they proficient in various ninjutsu, they can carry out various assassination missions, they can even go into battle against the enemy, and use the cover of various ninjutsu to kill generals in the midst of thousands of troops!
He is a special being among ninjas, and he is also the elite among the elite in the Japanese army.
However, the number of such elite-level battle ninjas is very small. A general at the general level can only have more than a hundred people under his command. Because the terrain of Anyue City is extremely critical, only twenty guards are assigned to it.
There were only five who came just now, but one of them was able to rush into Lemon's tent under the cover of harassment by the monk soldiers. Even though he was shot by Xiao Ye, that was quite impressive!
In this night attack, the Japanese killed more than 500 Russian soldiers, including three school officers. The losses were quite heavy.
However, the five fighting ninjas and 200 monk soldiers who attacked were all wiped out, and the battle was quite brutal.
After these two battles, Lemon did not dare to look down on the other side anymore. He sent people to the rear to mobilize armored ballistas overnight. He had better make his camp stronger first, and also asked Yanyun's army to mobilize some armored siege vehicles.
The car is coming...
It seems that this battle cannot be resolved quickly anyway, but I wonder if Wei Yuntian and the others will encounter setbacks when they attack Fengshan City?
So when it comes to things like war, sometimes you really have to take your chances.
Maybe it was because of the good luck of Xiao Chen, the boss who came with the army, that the battle to attack Fengshan City went surprisingly smoothly...
