The first thousand two hundred and seventy-seventh chapters complement each other
Chapter 1,277 Light and Dark complement each other
The ladder went first, and the cart also rushed to the edge of the city wall. With a direct order, the cart lowered the planks. The soldiers who were prepared inside immediately jumped over the planks and launched an attack on the city wall.
"General Parmati, go up to the city wall."
Seeing the enemy's carriage approaching, Bloom knew that he could not wait any longer. If the opponent had the advantage on the city wall, even if Parmati led his army to kill him, he might not be able to cover up his decline, so he immediately took action.
Let Parmati lead the reinforcements.
"As commanded."
Parmati also knew that the situation was critical, so he directly led 10,000 armored infantry to attack the city wall.
"Reinforcements are coming, push them down the wall."
Seeing Broome leading his army to attack, the soldiers on the city wall were also morale-boosted, and they roared and charged towards the Chinese army.
"kill."
With the addition of heavy armored infantry, the Chinese side, which originally had the upper hand in morale, instantly fell into a disadvantage. Facing an invulnerable enemy, especially in close combat, they had no choice but to be suppressed by the opponent. They were able to defend the building and carriage.
If you don't lose it, the Yokoye army will be considered elite.
"General Xu Huang, order the soldiers to evacuate."
Jia Xu came to Xu Huang and looked at the slightly rotten battle situation on the city wall. He directly informed Xu Huang about the withdrawal of troops.
"But the soldiers are still attacking. If we withdraw now, will it hurt morale?"
Xu Huang glanced at Jia Xu, with a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
"Well, who would have known that the other side has such a heavy armored infantry. With them guarding the city, it will definitely be difficult to win it through serious means. We need to take a long-term approach."
Jia Xu shook his head. If he ignored the soldiers and continued to attack the city, not only would they not be able to capture the city, they would also be able to capture all the elite soldiers, which would be more than worth the loss.
“Isn’t there also General Zang Ba’s Xuzhou Army?
If they rush in now and make an exception with us, they will definitely have a chance to win the opponent."
At this moment, the only thing Xu Huang can rely on is the secret passage. He believes that as long as Zang Ba sneaks in now and cooperates with him internally and externally, he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.
"It can't be done now. Time is too short. The opponent still has troops in the city. Even if Zang Ba's soldiers can sneak in, they may not be able to achieve their goal. We need to retreat first. I have many ways to capture the opponent."
Jia Xu also shook his head. The secret passage is one of his trump cards. Naturally, the trump card must be used in key places. It is not the time yet. If this plays out the trump card but has no effect, then he wants to take down the heavy defense.
Zhongxing City is even more difficult.
"promise,"
Jia Xu is willing to negotiate with him now not because he does not have the right to order him to withdraw his troops at the expense of gold, but because he respects himself. Now everyone has said it is so obvious that if Xu Huang is withdrawing his troops, it will be shameless.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
"Dang Dang Dang."
The crisp sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the sky. When the soldiers who were fighting fiercely heard this sound, they rushed down the city wall through the building without hesitation and retreated.
Seeing the Chinese withdrawing their troops, there was cheers on the city walls. After all, the opponent had much more soldiers and horses than we did. We were able to defeat the opponent so easily because they had taken advantage of Parmati's heavy infantry.
"Trebuchet, release."
Seeing that his soldiers had withdrawn from the city wall, Xu Huang had no scruples and directly ordered the trebuchets to start bombing again.
Scattered bullets took off one after another, flying towards the city wall like clouds.
"Defense, that's wrong, get off the wall quickly, quickly."
Seeing the shotguns flying, Bloom directly ordered the soldiers to hurry up and get off the city wall, especially Parmati's infantry guards. This is his absolute strength. Without them, it would be impossible for the enemy to capture Zhongxing City.
, so be sure to protect it well.
No one is stupid. After hearing Broome's order, the soldiers on the city wall ran away, including the heavy armored infantry. Although they were not afraid of strong bows and crossbows, they were afraid of shotguns as if they were poison.
Scorpions, if they are really hit, they can be shocked to death even if they are separated by heavy armor.
After a while, the entire city wall became much quieter, and only the sound of scattered bullets pounding against the wall was left.
"Alright, take your troops back to camp and wait until night to fight again."
Seeing that there was no one on the other side's wall, Jia Xu directly ordered the trebuchets to suspend the attack, and the army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp.
"promise."
The army returned to the main camp, but instead of resting, the entire army was on alert, preparing to attack Zhongxing City at night.
"Do you think the enemy will come again at night?"
Seeing the enemy's complete retreat, Parmati also spoke to Bloom.
"I don't know, but we can't take it lightly. Instruct the soldiers to be on duty at half and half at night, so as not to let the enemy steal the chickens."
Bloom didn't know if the opponent would come for a sneak attack in the middle of the night. Now that the opponent had the advantage, he had to accompany the enemy as long as they wanted to fight. There was no other way.
"Instruct the army to take action on the second watch and attack the city on the third watch. Pull out all the kerosene bombs for me. I will burn the city. In addition, General Zang Ba will lead the Xuzhou Army to prepare to enter the city through the secret passage and cooperate with the army to capture Zhongxing City.
."
Jia Xu's arrangement was to first use trebuchets to attack the city with kerosene bombs, create chaos, and then order the army to attack the city wall, and then let the Xuzhou army sneak attack through the secret passage and attack Zhongxing City in one fell swoop.
At the second watch in the evening, the soldiers in the camp left the camp directly and headed towards Zhongxing City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
"Beat the drum."
"Dong dong dong."
Even at night, anyone who is not blind can see the traces of the 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. The sound of shouts and drums resounded throughout Zhongxing City.
"what sound?"
Hearing the shouts and drums, Bloom was so excited that he shouted directly outside.
"General, the enemy came in the middle of the night and is assembling siege equipment outside the city."
Parmati came outside Bloom's house and reported directly to him the news of the enemy's attack on the city.
"Instruct the soldiers to climb the city wall, and you must not let the other side succeed."
Sure enough, the other party stole the city at night, but luckily he didn't let down his guard.
"As commanded."
For a time, the city wall was already covered with soldiers on guard. Seeing the other party's reaction so quickly, Jia Xu knew that they had already guessed that he would come.
"Shot, launch."
Jia Xu personally took command this time. After the trebuchet was assembled, he directly ordered the firing of shotguns to kill the enemy's effective forces.
"Take down the wall."
Seeing how powerful the enemy's trebuchets were, Bloom had nothing to say and directly ordered the soldiers to temporarily go down the city wall to avoid the trebuchet attacks.
"Haha, do you really think there's nothing you can do about me?
Replace it with kerosene bombs. Instead of hitting the city wall, hit the buildings in the city. Let me smash them."
When Jia saw that all the soldiers on the other side had descended from the city wall, he was not in a hurry and ordered the soldiers to change to kerosene bombs and burn the city.
For a time, all the trebuchets were loaded with shotguns filled with kerosene, and then ignited with torches.
"put."
The trebuchet instantly blasted out a curtain of red fire, like a bolide falling from the sky, hitting Zhongxing City.
"boom."
"boom,"
"boom."
The fire-stained shotguns hit the buildings in the city, instantly igniting them. Within a short time, Star City was covered in flames.
"Louche attack."
After the trebuchets smashed for a while, Jia Xu ordered the carts to be pushed to attack Zhongxing City.
The carriages that had been prepared for a long time also moved forward immediately, heading towards the city wall.
"De Erqing, you immediately lead the people to put out the flames in the city. General Parmati, as long as you wait until the enemy's chariots reach the city wall, you will lead your troops to the city and repel the enemy."
"As commanded."
Soon the defenders in the city were divided into two groups. One group was led by De Erqi, with thousands of people putting out the fire in the city. The other group was on standby under the city wall, ready to support the battle on the city wall.
As time went by, Lou Che finally reached the edge of the city wall. After putting down the planks, the fierce battle of attacking and defending the city wall began.
When the enemy's chariots reached Parmati, they immediately led troops to reinforce the city wall and fought together with Xu Huang's Hengye army.
"General Zang Ba, it's up to you to decide whether you can take Zhongxing City and fight again."
The city wall fell into a melee, and Jia Xu also used his trump card. Now the city is in chaos, with burning flames and Kushan troops working hard to put out the fire everywhere.
"rush."
Zang Ba did not hesitate and led the Xuzhou Army to find the secret passage, and then quickly penetrated into Zhongxing City through the secret passage.
After opening the cover above his head, he found himself in a room at the corner of the city wall. Zang Ba turned over and rushed out from the secret passage.
"Everyone, be silent and hurry up and get out of the secret passage."
Zang Ba looked outside from the window. There was no fire here, and the surroundings were very quiet. Even if someone passed by, they were walking in a hurry and would not pay attention to the situation here.
The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army quickly rushed out of the secret passage, and within a short time the small room was packed to the brim.
"Follow me to the next room."
Seeing that the place was already crowded, Zang Ba gently opened the door and took the soldiers to a nearby room to take shelter.
As time went by, the four rooms were filled with people, but only about 200 people.
"Go to the neighboring house to set up defenses."
Zang Ba didn't expect that Jia Xu's house had so few places, but if he thought about it, he could understand that the bigger the place, the more conspicuous it would be and would be easily noticed by the enemy. On the contrary, there were too many small rooms like this, and people waiting around would not notice at all.
Zang Ba left directly with two hundred people and came to garrison next to the house. At the same time, the secret passage in the house was quickly passing through Xuzhou Army soldiers.
As the number of soldiers and horses increased, the area under Zang Ba's control also became larger and larger. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand people, and people were still pouring out in a steady stream.
"who?"
Just as the Xuzhou Army was slowly moving, they were finally discovered by soldiers from the Kushan Empire.
"If they are discovered, kill them. Everyone will go to the north gate."
Hearing this sound, Zang Ba knew something was wrong and directly ordered his soldiers to make a surprise attack and attack the city gate.
"kill."
The cry of killing rang out directly in the city. Zang Ba led three thousand soldiers and fought directly towards the north gate. This was an agreement between him and Jia Xu. The main force of the army attacked the east gate. The enemy would definitely gather most of their strength here.
There will be relatively fewer soldiers in the door direction, which is their chance of winning.
