The first thousand two hundred and seventy-eight chapters eat hard
Chapter 1,278 Hard to Eat
Bloom was directing the war when he suddenly heard shouts of killing in the city. He couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what was going on.
"I don't know, but it sounds like a cry of death?
Strange?"
The person who was asked was also stunned.
"Then why don't you go and see what's going on, idiot."
Hearing these unexplained words, Bloom's forehead also darkened, especially with a fool like you, it's enough for him.
"I'll go right away."
The man nodded quickly and took the order directly to investigate the news.
"General, something bad has happened. A group of enemy troops has appeared in the city, numbering thousands. They are now heading towards the north gate."
There is no need to investigate, someone will naturally come over to report the news in the city to Bloom.
"No, there is a secret passage. Instruct De'erqiong to immediately lead his troops to support the north gate. At the same time, he notified General Parmati and asked him to send three thousand troops to go down along the city wall and guard the north gate for me."
Hearing the news, Bloom was instantly shocked. You must know that he had never thought that the other party would have a secret passage. He also sent soldiers to conduct a blanket search. He even sent people to check the wells in the city, but
Still no trace,
He had forgotten about it at first, but now he was still afraid that no matter what, the enemy still entered the city through the secret passage.
"yes."
Although Bloom reacted quickly, Zang Ba and the others were fighting intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a fierce battle on the city wall now. All the soldiers and horses had either gone to the city or were putting out the fire in the city. The people actually stationed at the north gate
Only a few hundred people.
Facing Zang Ba's thunderous strike, the soldiers and horses at the north gate couldn't resist it at all, and were immediately scattered.
"Set up a defensive position and open the city gates."
Seeing that the city gate was taken down so easily by him, to be honest Zang Ba still didn't believe it, but now that he had taken it down, what else was there to say.
The gate was slowly opening under the control of the Xuzhou Army, but enemy soldiers also began to pour in towards the north gate. Especially after Parmati on the city wall got the news, he personally led his soldiers and horses to fight here.
"Sir, the north gate is open."
The north gate was opened as promised, and Mrs. Zhu Rong reported the news directly to Jia Xu.
"When the flying army goes first, remember to prepare heavy weapons, and the whole army will attack towards the north gate."
Hearing that the north gate had been opened, Jia Xu was also overjoyed. To be honest, he was actually not sure whether the secret passage was feasible. If the personnel were discovered by the opponent just after passing through the secret passage, he would have no other choice but to retreat.
.
"promise."
After receiving the military order, Mrs. Zhu Rong also took the lead, leading the already prepared Wudang flying army directly to the north gate. At the same time, the entire army also quickly marched towards the north gate under the command of their respective captains.
"kill."
De'erqiong, who was in charge of putting out the fire in the city, arrived immediately with his soldiers. When he saw the Xuzhou Army guarding the city gate, he immediately ordered the soldiers to attack without hesitation.
"Fire the arrow."
Seeing the enemy coming, Zang Ba directly ordered his soldiers to fire arrows.
In an instant, countless arrows soared into the sky and fell towards the timid soldiers.
The timid soldiers had been putting out the fire, and they hadtily organized only two thousand people. Some of these people came without shields at all, and many of them fell immediately after a wave of arrows.
"Fall back to organize defense, archers, let me shoot them with arrows."
Seeing that his side had suffered a lot of losses, De'erqing couldn't help but feel depressed. He only knew that someone was coming to kill the North Gate, but no one told him that there were so many people on the other side.
"Shield."
Seeing the sparse arrow rain coming from the opposite side, Zang Ba directly ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to defend.
"The archers fired back."
After defending against the enemy's rain of arrows, he once again ordered the archers to fire arrows to fight back. He didn't even think about attacking now, because his task was to guard the north gate and buy time for the army. If he attacked, it would definitely disrupt his own.
Formation.
Arrow rain appeared again. Facing the Xuzhou Army's offensive, De'erqiu could only order his soldiers to retreat again. What he was most afraid of now was that the opponent would rely on their numerical advantage to eat him, and then he would be finished.
Seeing the enemy retreating, Zang Ba was not happy because he had already heard the vibrations coming from the city wall, which meant that soldiers from the other side must be coming down through the city wall, and these heavy footsteps were probably what caused Jia Xu to
The heavy infantry that everyone feared.
Sure enough, not long after, Pama, wearing bright silver armor, had already led his people to the battlefield and appeared in front of Zang Ba.
"Shields for defence, crossbows cocked, spears ready to throw."
Zang Ba gave an order, and the tough shield array was assembled in an instant. Behind the shield were the fully loaded crossbows and the ready short spears.
"Force forward and take back the city gate for me."
Parmati looked at the Xuzhou Army who was waiting in full formation, and directly ordered his soldiers to form a formation. He would rely on his own powerful armor to drive the opponent out of Zhongxing City.
"Crossbow, release."
Seeing that the opponent was forming a formation, Zang Ba decided to take a preemptive strike and directly ordered the crossbows to fire.
In an instant, a powerful crossbow soared into the sky and fired in the direction of Parmati.
"Shield, forward."
Seeing the local crossbows coming, Parmati was helpless. The heavy armored infantry's biggest weapon was their armor, so there were no long-range weapons like crossbows. This meant that they had no way to counter Zang Ba's crossbows.
Now all they can do is accelerate forward and engage in close combat with the opponent.
The attack power of the crossbow arrows at close range was still very powerful. Even if the soldiers under Parmati's command were heavy armored infantry, they could not resist it. Soon some soldiers were shot through their armor and fell into a pool of blood.
"Keep moving forward and speed up."
Parmati directly ordered the soldiers to speed up. He knew that the crossbows would take time to reload, and now was their opportunity.
"Fifty steps, throwing a short spear, five steps."
Seeing that the enemy had entered the fifty-step range, Zang Ba showed a sneer on his lips.
You must know that they have done tests. Within a distance of fifty steps, even the guards' armor cannot stop them.
Since the guard's armor couldn't stop it, then the opponent's armor must also not be able to stop it.
Five hundred one-meter-long short spears soared into the sky, watering bloody flowers in Parmati's army like heavy rain.
Just as Zang Ba thought, facing a one-meter-long short spear at a distance of fifty steps, the enemy's proud armor seemed to be made of paper and was directly nailed to the ground.
"Keep pushing forward."
Facing the enemy's short spears, his losses were greater than the crossbows, but Parmati knew that now he could only move forward to Cai Xing, and the distance of fifty steps was close at hand.
"put."
"put."
"put."
As the enemy moved forward, the Xuzhou Army's short spears were completed in five rounds. Even though Parmati's soldiers suffered heavy losses, they were able to reach the front of the Xuzhou Army.
"Prepare for close combat, and continue throwing the short spears from behind."
The enemy finally arrived, and Zang Ba also knew that facing heavy infantry, no matter how elite his soldiers were, they could not defeat the opponent. Sometimes the gap in equipment could be erased, but sometimes the gap was just a gap and could not be erased at all.
The soldiers of the Xuzhou Army could only rely on their spears to fight against the enemy's heavy armored infantry. The ever-unfailing Hunyu Sword had no effect at all against the thick iron armor.
Fortunately, Zang Ba's short spears continued to throw, and with the short spears killing the following Parmati soldiers, the Xuzhou Army officers were able to withstand the enemy's attack.
"kill."
While the Xuzhou army was struggling to hold on, Mrs. Zhu Rong finally led the Wudang flying army to kill them.
"General Zang Ba, don't panic, Zhu Rong is coming, please get out of the way."
Mrs. Zhu Rong took the lead and shouted directly at Zang Ba at the city gate, asking him to give way to her useless flying army.
"Get out of the way and let Wudang Feijun pass by."
Hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's shout, Zang Ba was also overjoyed. After holding on for so long, they finally managed to kill him.
The Xuzhou Army instantly gave way to the passage, while the Wudang Fei Army took over and charged into the north gate.
"Form up a formation, block the opponent, and then send someone to inform Broome, tell him that the north gate may be breached, and ask him to seize the time to mobilize troops for reinforcements."
Seeing the enemy's soldiers approaching, the only thing Parmati could do now was to do his best to block the opponent until the support from the Bloom faction arrived.
"Bring, bring people up."
Mrs. Zhu Rong saw the heavy armored infantry in front of her, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes. Jia Xu was Jia Xu after all. She had already guessed what she would encounter, so she ordered herself to bring heavy weapons.
"Follow me."
After hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's order to bring the cave master, a group of soldiers holding hammers emerged from behind him.
"Smash it for me."
One by one, the hammers directly hit the heavy armored infantry on their heads. After a clanging sound, the heavy armored infantry rushing at the front fell to the ground one after another, and then continued to move forward under the leadership of the cave master.
"Block."
Seeing that the enemy had brought heavy weapons like hammers, Parmati knew that he might face a tough battle next.
They brought the cave master and hammer soldiers all the way to blast the hammers. Of course, they also suffered a lot of damage. After all, the opponent was wearing armor, and the Wudang Feijun was just covered with iron armor, but they were more valuable because of their numbers.
A dead person behind picked up the hammer and continued to smash. In this life-for-life style, the person who killed Parmati could only keep retreating.
“Where are the people, where is the support?
What the hell is Bloom doing?"
Seeing that he was about to be unable to bear it, Parmati was also anxious. If he couldn't stop it and let the opponent rush into the city, everything would be over.
"General, I can't stop you anymore."
Although Parmati didn't want to admit it, they were already on the verge of collapse facing the Wudang Feijun who was fighting for their lives.
"Retreat, find Broome, and ask all the guards on the city wall to come down to the city wall to fight with me and prepare to break out."
Since nothing could be done, he was not a pedantic person and directly ordered the soldiers to retreat.
The remaining nearly a thousand soldiers and horses immediately gave way to the passage and retreated towards the stairs, and then sent some soldiers and horses to find Broome, asking him to fight with them.
"Ignore them, open the passage first and cover the soldiers behind to enter the city."
Seeing the enemy retreating, Mrs. Zhu Rong ignored them at all. Their task now was not to kill many enemies, but to ensure the safety of the passage and let the army behind them enter the city.
Wudang Feijun did not pursue, but guarded both sides of the north gate.
"kill."
Jia Xu's army quickly entered the city through the north gate, then climbed the stairs up the city wall and began to assist Hengye's army in encircling and suppressing the enemies on the city wall.
"Walk."
When Broome saw the enemy army rushing into the city, he knew that the situation was over. Although he was loyal to Hariwan and the Kushan Empire, it did not mean that he was a foolishly loyal person.
As a general, his mission is to protect his family and the country. It is not now that he really wants to be loyal to the country. He is really not willing to die in a foreign land.
"General, where are we going?"
Although Bloom said he wanted to leave, the soldiers under his command were also in a daze as to where to go now.
"Pamati is currently fighting with the enemy at the north gate. Let's go to the south gate."
Bloom thought for a moment and chose to escape through the south door.
"But we abandoned the general's infantry guards and fled. If the general knew about it, we might not be able to escape death either."
The captain glanced at Bloom. The current situation is that others are still resisting desperately, but you have to run away in advance. It would be okay if the whole army in Parmati is wiped out. As long as someone escapes and reports to Halivana, everything will happen.
It's all over.
"General Parmati has heavy armored infantry under his command. These soldiers are naturally good at marching and fighting. But now we have been defeated. If we really want to evacuate with the heavy armored infantry, we will definitely be surrounded by the enemy and die.
, so now we can only let General Parmati hold on here to buy us time to escape."
Regarding the captain's words, Bloom shook his head directly. If he breaks out with Parmati now, it will not be a breakout, but death. He does not want to die in a foreign country.
"I understand, cover the general's breakout."
The captain glanced in the direction of Beicheng. Bloom was right. Although Parmati's soldiers were elite, they couldn't escape the enemy's pursuit despite being heavily armored.
Nearly a thousand people protected Broome down the city wall, opened the south gate and escaped from the city.
As soon as Broome ran away, the remaining people collapsed instantly. They either surrendered to the Chinese army or ran down the city wall and evacuated in Broome's direction.
"Come here, close the city gate for me. Don't let any enemies escape."
