The army of the Daqian Empire was relatively backward, but the army on the Xiongnu grassland was even more backward.
When cold weapons face hot weapons, it is impossible not to fail. The princes on the Xiongnu grassland also knew this, but they believed that the Great Wall defenders were not much stronger than them. As long as they could work together, they would still be able to capture Xuanning City. No problem, but these people are dumbfounded at this moment.
The attacking army of 12,000 people has turned into a mess in just half an hour. Under such circumstances, there is no need to continue to kill. Ming Jin's retreat is the best choice. If If we continue to move forward, I'm afraid our casualties will be even greater.
"Colonel Gerasim, you must take out the artillery in your hand. If you don't take it out, I will order my troops to withdraw from the battle immediately."
Kang Ying said very forcefully. He had seen very clearly just now that this army was one of the few elites under his command. Now they have not even touched the edge of the city wall. So many people have been lost. If there is no result, then , the morale of soldiers will drop rapidly.
When the Xiongnu Khanate declared independence, many people on the grasslands did not support them, and they also wanted to impress these people with victory in military wars. But now, if they fail, the opposition may come back.
"Dear Khan Kang Ying, I hope you can stabilize your army, and I will send artillery to support you right away."
When Colonel Gerasim saw this, he knew that he could not continue like this. His mission was to help these Huns occupy Xuanning City. It would be better if they could continue to go south. Now it seems that they can continue to go south. It is impossible, but there must be a win-win result that can be achieved, and currently it is Xuanning City.
If a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent and nothing was gained in the end, not only would the Xiongnu Khanate be disgraced, but many people, including him, would be punished after returning.
These people on the Xiongnu grassland were still well-trained. After receiving the order to withdraw their troops, they did not disperse in a hurry. Instead, they slowly began to retreat. When these people ran out of range, Luo Yuzhang also ordered his men Stop attacking.
"Let's all take a good rest to conserve our strength. These people won't come to kill us in a short time."
In the catapult attack just now, more than 60 people died on the city wall. Others were fine, but when it's time to conserve your strength, you should conserve your strength. War is not a short-term thing.
"Hurry up and bring the grenade up."
At present, their biggest weapon is grenades. When there is no attack, Luo Yuzhang orders his men to hide all these crossbows. If they are destroyed by stones, we will be the ones who suffer.
Who said the security group has no artillery? Thanks to our smart transformation, the security group now also has artillery. Although the explosion power and range are not very good, it makes the people opposite us weaker.
Of course, this accuracy rate is not good. The reason why it can cause so many casualties is also related to the dense formation of the Huns.
"Two or three thousand more died..."
Li Renxuan said silently, for these Huns in front of him, Li Renxuan wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill them all. If it weren't for these people, his former brothers would not have died in the battle.
"Captain, there is Lao Maozi's army over there, and they have artillery in their hands."
The scout saw the changes in the distance and quickly called Luo Yuzhang over.
It was very clear from the telescope that a Rakshasa artillery appeared in the distance. Although it was a relatively backward front-loaded artillery, it was very powerful. If it hit the city wall, one shell would
A hole, and there will be huge cracks.
"Gather the men from the second and fifth regiments."
Luo Yuzhang soon had an idea in his mind. In the past, he had to be an iron bastard and never go out no matter what happened outside. But this situation is no longer possible. If the opponent keeps attacking the city wall with cannons, the city wall will be destroyed.
We cannot hold on. Once the city wall collapses, hundreds of thousands of cavalry will swarm up from the opposite side. We, the people, will never be able to withstand it.
"You want to leave the city?"
Li Renxuan immediately knew what Luo Yuzhang was thinking.
"We can't go out. They are all solid eggs. I know the city wall is very strong, but if we come here for a while every day, our city wall won't last long. The nearest army is at least two days away from us.
, I will take my troops and move closer."
Luo Yuzhang made an estimate on the city wall. The Rakshasa's artillery is not a new artillery, so the range is not very far. As long as we advance a few hundred meters, the Rakshasa's artillery probably won't have much capability.
Their cannonballs can't hit the city wall, so you can fire at them as you like.
"This is too dangerous. You two regiments only have 3,000 people, but they have hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If these hundreds of thousands of cavalry go crazy and charge over, how can you stop them?"
This thing that Li Renxuan is worried about is very likely to happen. If such a thing happens, I am afraid that the troops of these two security groups will no longer exist.
"Even if this is the case, we have to go out and break in. If we all stay on the city wall, sooner or later they will smash the city wall. At that time, there will be no last chance to defend. I have to give
The troops in the rear have to buy time."
When Luo Yuzhang said these words, he himself couldn't believe it was true. It seems that after joining the Suppression Army, his sense of national honor and responsibility is indeed much stronger than before. This is different from many in the Suppression Army.
There is a direct relationship with the instructor.
"It's too risky. Otherwise, let's wait and see."
Li Renxuan still disapproved of Luo Yuzhang taking people out.
"There is no time to wait and see. Their artillery has already begun to set up artillery positions. If Xuanning City is lost, tens of millions of people from here to the south will fall into chaos. They will swarm towards the capital. Can you
Can you imagine what it would be like?”
Luo Yuzhang's words made Li Renxuan frown.
If Xuanning City is lost, Luo Yuzhang's words are very likely to come true. People everywhere will be like headless flies, not knowing where they should go, but they know that the capital is extremely safe, so a large number of people will go to the capital.
Rushing towards the capital.
The northern part of the Daqian Empire may be in chaos...
