Chapter 143 With no hope of breaking the city, Grant frantically throws the blame!
On the high platform.
As the battle situation entered its most critical moment, Rogers' eyes also became sharper.
Although he disagreed with Grant, as a member of the alliance and the coalition forces, Rogers still hoped that the coalition forces could successfully capture Chang'an City.
Otherwise.
The price that needs to be paid in the future is simply too great.
It's also too heavy.
On the contrary, the members of the military observation group from the Mote Federation were in the most relaxed mood at the moment. Some of the deepest people in the city did not necessarily hope that the coalition could win.
The Aztec Alliance has been stuck in the quagmire of war, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Meite Federation.
If you can be the boss.
Who wants to be the second child all the time?
"bump!"
The third-order heavy infantry, which the alliance had high hopes for, was quickly blocked by the Mighty Brigade.
No more progress can be made.
Although they are all third-level heavy infantry, they can attack and defend. The Mighty Brigade naturally occupies a convenient location and has an advantage in numbers. There is no reason to retreat even half a step.
"Brothers, this is the first appearance of our mighty brigade, please don't embarrass your Excellency."
Brigadier General Tu Xiao rushed to the front line.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Tu Xiao's response was a loud killing cry that shook the sky. None of the Chiyou clan members was a coward.
They are born warriors!
"It's okay, it's okay."
When the heavy infantry stopped, the hearts of all the coalition generals were in their throats.
"We were playing our cards right, so it was expected that Chang'an would block the attack near the city gate." A coalition general made up for it with a smile.
"Yes, yes!"
The other generals also hurriedly agreed, seeming to want to regain confidence.
"Send the order and have all the sword and shield soldiers of the center army rush to the city gate for reinforcements." Grant jumped over the rank and ordered.
"yes!"
Including the commander of the Central Route Army, no one thought it was inappropriate.
It's a matter of life and death.
Before the sword and shield soldiers arrived, the next scene was enough to make the eyes of the coalition generals burst into tears.
After all the thousand heavy infantrymen gathered near the city gate, Tang Jing, who was watching the battle on the city tower, softly recited the magic formula from the corner of his mouth——
"Earth stabbing technique!"
A halo of 15 meters by 15 meters flashed out of thin air on the ground in front of the city gate.
The next moment.
Densely dense thorns appeared on the ground, as hard as bamboo shoots.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Just like skewering meat, it pierced the bodies of the third-order heavy infantry crowded in front of the city gate. Except for the hundreds of people crowded inside the door opening, the remaining heavy infantry were killed almost instantly.
The scene was extremely bloody.
The originally densely packed army was instantly cleared into a clearing.
To be precise.
It is a Shura hell covered with earth thorns.
"This, this...how could this happen..."
The super trump card that I relied on the most was overturned in an instant. Even if he was as calm as Grant, he couldn't help but lose consciousness. His legs became weak and he had to hold on to the table next to him to barely stand still.
"It's the mage!"
The veteran Rogers' face twitched, as if he had remembered something.
"Is this an extraordinary power that transcends the era of cold weapons? Is it also a major source of support for attacking and defending cities in the future?" The members of the observation team seemed to have understood something.
No way.
Mages, even in the Mote Federation, are extremely rare.
Even if there is, which mage in the world has a unique upgrade environment like Tang Jing? From the establishment of the territory to the present, battles of all sizes have never stopped.
In this way, it can be promoted to level 31.
Other mages are probably still struggling in the tenth level.
How can we have the ability to change the situation of the war?
What Tang Jing can do does not mean that other mages can do it. After all, he is the only one who is praised as the "Miracle Hand" by players around the world.
"General, shall we continue the attack now, or shall we?" the commander of the Central Army came running to ask for instructions.
"Attack, keep attacking!"
Grant gritted his teeth and his eyes were red, like a gambler who was about to lose his bet. Faced with a difficult situation, what he thought about was not how to stop the loss, but to just take the plunge.
"This is Chang'an's last resort. As long as we continue to attack fiercely, victory is in sight."
"yes!"
The commander of the Central Route Army turned around and gave the order.
Rogers on the side saw this and moved his lips several times, but finally restrained himself from saying a word.
He really wanted to dissuade him.
But one thing was that Rogers was neither the commander of the Union forces nor the governor, so he had no reason to interfere with Grant.
Don't even have that power.
Even if the two coalition forces' attack was temporarily frustrated, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly.
Even a veteran like Rutgers cannot conclude that continuing to attack fiercely at this time must be a wrong decision. What if we really attack?
fight.
Sometimes, it is necessary to take risks.
………
As soon as the military order was given, thousands of sword and shield soldiers rushed to the vicinity of Jingyao Gate, replacing the previous heavy infantry, and continued to exert pressure on the city gate in an attempt to break into the city.
This is of course in vain.
Tang Jing on the tower didn't even continue to use the ground stabbing technique.
It's not that he ran out of mana.
But they don't want to put too much pressure on the coalition forces, so that they can retain the last hope of breaking the city.
So desperate.
What if the coalition forces retreat and stop attacking the city?
As for Chang'an, they also want to use the advantage of defending the city to continue to consume a wave of coalition forces and create more favorable conditions for the subsequent major counterattack.
How can the coalition forces be plunged into despair now?
For more than three hours, the coalition forces continued to launch fierce attacks on Chang'an City one after another, but other than leaving more and more corpses behind, no progress was made.
As time went by, the expressions on the faces of the coalition generals led by Grant became more and more solidified.
Especially Grant.
As if he had turned into a stone statue, he stood upright on the high platform in silence for three hours.
Until night falls.
The coalition forces were forced to terminate the siege and return to the rear camp to rest.
Once they calmed down from the frenzy of the siege, a pessimistic, even desperate mood quickly began to spread within the coalition forces.
"We have exhausted all our cards and Chang'an City is still motionless. How can we fight?"
"Yeah, there's no way to fight."
"With so many casualties, will we continue to attack the city tomorrow?"
"Hit the hammer!"
"I have finally seen through it. All along, we have been throwing eggs against stones."
"Then what can be done?"
"If Chang'an is not conquered, the alliance will remain restless. Even if a million coalition troops are deployed, Chang'an will still be conquered. This is the fate of our coalition."
Some generals also stood up to encourage and encourage.
"I'm afraid that if everything is filled in, Chang'an City will still remain unchanged."
Once pessimism spreads, it cannot be reversed by a few words of encouragement.
Most are not optimistic about the prospects.
………
After the war ended, the coalition command also held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures. The generals discussed it late into the night, but they were still unable to come up with a practical solution.
This is actually quite normal.
Before they had the "three major trump cards", the coalition forces had been helpless against Chang'an City. Now that all the trump cards are useless, what alternatives are there?
If I had it, I would have used it long ago!
Pessimism has even spread to the general level.
"How about withdrawing the troops altogether?"
After staying up until midnight, a general finally made a suggestion to withdraw the troops.
"no!"
Sure enough, Grant's firm opposition was immediately found before he finished speaking.
Once the troops are withdrawn.
Then he will definitely lose the trust of the alliance.
It is very possible to say that one moment the troops were withdrawn, and the next moment the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was changed.
Grant didn't dare take the risk!
"Then, General, what should we do now?" The generals all looked at Grant.
Because Grant had secured many benefits for the generals in the past, even if the siege failed during the day, Grant still enjoyed high prestige among the coalition generals.
It can be seen that hard work still pays off.
"The army is resting on the spot. I will send a request to the alliance, asking the alliance to recruit more than 500,000 reinforcements within three days to rush to the front line."
He was so tough in asking for reinforcements, as expected of Grant.
But in fact, from the time he proposed a million-strong army to attack Chang'an, Grant had already grasped the weakness of the alliance and maximized the gambler effect.
As long as the Alliance still wants to conquer Chang'an, it can only accompany him to fight to the end.
"Gentlemen!"
After calming down, Grant seemed to be in high spirits again. He glanced firmly at every general present and said in a deep voice: "Ask yourself, in a day-to-day battle, are we the ones who will fight cowardly?"
"no!"
All the generals shook their heads in unison.
In the daytime battle, more than a hundred players and generals at the battalion level alone were killed.
It can't be said to be heroic.
"Is that because I can't wait any longer?" Grant continued to ask.
"no!"
The generals all shook their heads again.
"The general attack tactics were discussed by the headquarters for more than a week and came up with the best siege plan under the current conditions. During the daytime battle, each department was advancing strictly according to the combat plan."
"No one slacked off, and no one fell behind," a general said.
"Then why did it still fail?" Grant asked.
"Uh, this..."
Facing the question of their souls, all the generals subconsciously dodge their eyes and lower their heads.
"Yes, is it because Chang'an is too strong?"
A general said cautiously.
"Chang'an is strong, that is an objective fact, and it is something we cannot change or control." Grant took over the conversation, "The fundamental reason is that the alliance's support for the coalition is not enough, far from enough!"
"hiss…"
The generals looked at each other and realized that Grant was once again passing the blame to the Union.
only.
Will the alliance give up so easily this time?
However, Grant looked calmly and said calmly: "The alliance only provided us with rice, but forced us to make a table of delicious dishes. This is simply unrealistic."
"There is an old saying in Zunlong Kingdom: A clever woman is a cooking without rice."
"As soldiers, our duty is to lead troops to fight, and to fight the war as well as possible within the conditions provided by the alliance."
"But the Alliance, how can they ask us to use wooden sticks to destroy the city?"
