The first thousand three hundred and fifty-eight chapters cavalry attack
Chapter 1358 Cavalry Attack
Of course Amstal is also aware of this shortcoming, but scaring you is the only way. He is not a god and can make people climb the city wall out of thin air, so he can only resort to tricks.
"All right,"
Amsda's idea was also a last resort, otherwise he would have to brave the enemy's bullets and fight on the city wall.
Aerial ladders were set up on the city wall, and the soldiers also climbed up the ladders first, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army behind the city wall.
Xu Guang naturally knows his current advantage. The trebuchet can block the opponent's stairs from a high position. In this way, he can occupy the city wall faster. If they occupy the city wall, they can attack the enemy with bows and arrows from a high position.
"Tell two thousand Cross Wind Army, two thousand Tiger Roar Army, and five thousand Shooting Sound Army to attack the city wall. After occupying the city wall, the Shooting Sound Army will condescend to shoot the Kushan Army for me."
After hearing Xu Guang's instructions, everyone was stunned. To be honest, they didn't think about the other party as much as they did, but hearing what he meant, as long as they were condescending, they wouldn't be able to easily kill the other party.
"Place the plank and attack."
As the cart approached the city wall, the pallets were put down directly. The Crosswind Army and the Tiger Roar Army inside rushed out first and began to occupy the city wall, while the Shengsheng Army was behind, preparing to support the opponent with bows and arrows.
"Everyone goes out and climbs up the city wall via the ladder to fight the opponent."
Knowing that the Chinese army had climbed onto the city wall, Kabdat also issued an order, instructing the Kelan Legion soldiers who had been waiting on the ladder to climb up the city wall.
Huaxia passed through the building truck, and Kelan's army passed through the ladder. The transportation speeds of the two sides were simply not the same. Moreover, the Tiger Roar Army and the Crosswind Army were so powerful that they directly used their superior strength to kill the opponent's soldiers and horses, and then quickly expanded the bridgehead.
One by one the enemies were killed.
"Tiger Roaring Army, smash those ladders."
The bridgehead had almost been expanded, and Zhang also directly ordered the Tiger Roar Army to attack the ladder to block the enemy's access to the troops.
The hammers and maces came out, directly smashing the ladders to pieces. The soldiers on top also fell from the ladders in an instant, and they were smashed into pieces.
"Shooting troops, short bows, shooting against the wall."
Zhou Peng led the Shengsheng Army to kill. In the current situation, heavy bows cannot be used because it requires a lot of force to pull them apart. However, from a high position, only a short bow can cause the same killing effect.
The archers approached the city wall one by one and used short bows to shoot arrows quickly to kill the enemy as much as possible.
"Continue up the wall."
Seeing that his soldiers had already formed an advantage on the city wall, Xu Guang directly ordered his soldiers to board the city. The situation now is different from the original. In the past, the enemy could quickly support through the stairs, and if the fight continued, both sides would suffer. But it is different now. This will happen.
The situation is equivalent to defending the city while the enemy attacks the city. Killing the enemy in such a situation is not too simple.
Soldiers followed the carriages one by one as they climbed up the city wall. Within a short time, the number of Chinese troops on the city wall reached more than 10,000, and the city wall was fully occupied.
"Um?"
Jiang Qin on Tushan couldn't help but frowned when he saw the situation in front of him. Xu Guang was not a reckless man. He definitely had the potential to become a general. He didn't expect that he would be impulsive. The situation on the city wall must have been unexpected.
That's why he does this.
"Instruct the trebuchets to reload with shotguns and prepare to suppress the stairs on both sides, as well as the enemies supporting from the north and south walls."
Although Jiang Qin could not see the situation in front of him, Tian Feng had already guessed Xu Guang's thoughts. He wanted to fight the siege as a defensive battle and kill the enemy as much as possible according to the city wall.
"As commanded."
Hearing what Tian Feng said, Jiang Qin immediately understood what he meant, directly clasped his fists at him, and then ordered the trebuchet to prepare to attack the enemies on both sides.
"Amstar, we can't fight like this. We must send people to attack the city through the stairs. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to us attacking our own city wall, and the soldiers will not be able to hold it at all."
Seeing the current battle situation, even if the soldiers under his command are not afraid of death, it is impossible to capture the city wall occupied by the enemy by relying on ladders alone.
"Go and report to the governor immediately. I will mobilize his cavalry of the governor's guard to attack the enemies on the east wall from the north and south walls."
Amsda also knew that he couldn't do this now, but he had no choice. The enemy now occupied the commanding heights and could easily suppress the stairs of the east city wall, so he could only find another way and find a way to drive the opponent down.
"Send out the cavalry of the Governor's Guard?
Isn’t there something wrong?”
Hearing Armsda's order, Kabudat was also stunned. There is a cavalry force of 5,000 people in Malacanda, but that is Rijeka's guard. Now you want the cavalry to attack the enemy on the city wall first.
Not to mention whether Rijeka agrees or not, even if she agrees, it is unreliable.
Although the city wall of Maracanda is quite wide, seven or eight meters thick, it is only thick enough for four horses to pass at most. Otherwise, the cavalry would not be able to even run. Moreover, there is no place to dodge. If faced with the enemy's long-range attack,
, these five thousand cavalry may all die on the city wall.
"That's all we have now. Go and report to the Governor immediately."
Armsta looked at the current situation and realized that if the cavalry of the Governor's Guard did not dispatch, then he would have to hand over the city wall to the Chinese. Once the city wall was lost, Malacanda would be like a peeled egg.
It's up to the Chinese people.
"Okay, I hope the governor can understand."
After all, the Governor's Guard is Rijeka's confidant, and these five thousand cavalry are the confidants of Rijeka's confidant. I hope he can understand the current situation and send cavalry to support the city wall.
There is still a bloody battle here on the city wall. Now the Kushan army dare not escape from the city wall and they have to resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky. This is a double problem. If they cannot defeat the enemies on the city wall, it will be difficult to hold on to the city wall this time.
Soon the scouts arrived at the Governor's Palace where Rijeka was located. After identifying themselves, they entered the palace directly.
"My Lord Governor, the city wall is in danger. The Chinese army has built a mountain of earth outside the city, placed a trebuchet on the mountain, and attacked the city from a high position.
First, they sealed the cave where soldiers were hiding, and then they kept suppressing our soldiers with stone bullets. Then they sent out trucks to attack the city wall. General Amsterdam did not dare to send people to climb the city from the stairs to defend against the enemy, so he could only climb up via ladders.
, but was suppressed by the other party,
Now the enemy has completely occupied the east wall and is sniping at our soldiers from a high position.
General Armstad sent me here to mobilize the governor's cavalry to climb the city wall from the north and south sides, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses under the city to attack the other side's soldiers, otherwise the city wall will be impossible to hold."
The scouts sent were very organized and quickly explained everything about the city wall.
"What has become of the city wall?"
Hearing the scout's words, Rijeka was dumbfounded. In just one day, the city wall had become like this, which was beyond his expectation.
"My Lord Governor, the situation is extremely urgent. Please send the cavalry of the Governor's Guard to the city wall immediately."
The scouts knelt on their knees, with a look of anxiety in their eyes. The only thing they could do now was to take a risk and use their cavalry to defeat the opponent's infantry.
"But it seems that cavalry is not suitable for fighting on city walls, right?"
Although Rijeka also knows that the battle on the city wall is tense, is it really useful for cavalry to go up the city wall?
After all, that's not how cavalry is used. If he really goes up to the city wall, then all his five thousand treasures may be ruined.
"General Armstad also knows this situation, but if he sends infantry reinforcements from both sides now, he will definitely be attacked by the enemy's trebuchets. By then, they will be hit by them before they reach the opponent, and they will suffer heavy losses.
Only the cavalry can rely on quick maneuvers to avoid shotguns, and although the city wall is a small space, it can just use the impact of the cavalry, which can be considered as a pros and cons."
The scouts naturally knew that the city wall was not suitable for cavalry charges, but wasn't there no other way out now?
This is the only way to do it.
"This is my order. Immediately mobilize the cavalry of the Governor's Guard to support the city wall."
Since there is no other way, Rijeka can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, hoping that the cavalry can win by surprise.
"yes."
After getting Rijeka's token, the scout did not dare to delay and ran straight towards the garrison of the Governor's Guard.
"According to the governor's order, the cavalry of the governor's guard will immediately attack with me, climb the city from the north and south walls, and jointly attack the Chinese army on the east wall."
The scout came over with Rijeka's token and directly announced Rijeka's order.
"What did you say?
Let the cavalry fight on the city wall?"
The cavalry guard of the governor's guard was stunned and asked him to lead the cavalry on the city wall to attack the enemy. What fool would think of this?
And Rijeka agreed?
"General, the situation on the city wall is extremely urgent. Don't hesitate. Go to the city wall to support as soon as possible. Otherwise, the city wall will not be able to hold."
The scout saw the cavalry guard in a daze and knew that this was human nature. After all, he was a little surprised when he heard it, but it was indeed a fact and there was nothing he could do about it.
The cavalry guard glanced at the token in the scout's hand. When he heard that the city wall was in danger, he no longer hesitated and nodded directly to the cavalry leader beside him.
"The general has an order, and the cavalry is ready to go out."
He glanced at the cavalry guard and saw that the messenger understood the spirit and announced his intention.
Hesitating that it was wartime now, all the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Guard were on standby, so the cavalry gathered quickly. It was completed in a short time, and then under the leadership of the cavalry guard, the troops were divided into two groups, one from the north and the other from the south.
Climb the city wall.
"All cavalry, arranged in a row of five and ten rows in a section, attack the enemy's position in batches. There must be a gap in the middle to avoid giving the opponent a chance to trebuchet."
