Hearing that his soldiers had almost descended the city wall, Armstad had nothing to say and directly ordered the cavalry of the Governor's Guard to attack.
"yes."
Soon the flag waved again, issuing orders to the cavalry waiting there.
"charge."
The cavalry guard saw the order in the flag, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he directly ordered his cavalry to charge.
"Rumble."
The war horses ran wildly, like rows of waves attacking the Chinese army on the city wall.
"The enemy cavalry moved again and ordered the trebuchets to prepare for the attack."
Seeing that his advantage on the city wall was becoming more and more obvious and that the enemy's cavalry was dispatched again, Jiang Qin directly ordered Yuan Wei to prepare for the attack.
Yuan Wei was always paying attention to the battle on the city wall. When the enemy's cavalry launched a charge, he had already ordered the trebuchets to prepare. As long as the opponent dared to kill within his attack range, he would definitely let the opponent understand what it means to be shattered.
The horses were not very fast at first, but as they got closer and closer to the east city, the speed of the cavalry became faster and faster, and a fierce aura was already reflected.
"Build a human wall and defend."
Xu Chu also saw the cavalry coming towards him, and immediately ordered the Polu troops to stop moving forward, switch to a defensive state on the spot, and then placed the enemy's corpses in front of him to act as a human wall to resist the enemy's cavalry.
Soon the enemy's corpses were piled together to form a simple human wall, while the Polu army deployed defenses behind the human wall, preparing to meet the enemy's cavalry.
"Successive attack, trebuchet, release."
Yuan Wei calculated the distance of the opponent's cavalry, and then issued an order, instructing the trebuchets to launch an attack according to the originally planned attack sequence.
Twenty trebuchets, each one began to attack the cavalry on the city wall in succession.
"accelerate."
Seeing the enemy's trebuchet falling from the sky, the cavalry at the front gave an order directly, telling his men to speed up in order to avoid the enemy's attack.
But since Yuan Wei had been prepared long ago, how could he avoid it by accelerating? The second and third trebuchets also came one after another, bombarding the city wall non-stop.
There was no suspense in the first wave of fifty cavalry, and they were all smashed to death on the city wall.
The first wave of cavalry were killed, and the second wave also rushed into the hail of death bullets, and were smashed to death again.
In this way, wave after wave of cavalry were all smashed to death on the way to the charge. In the end, hundreds of cavalry were killed and injured, and the way forward was completely blocked.
"General, it's no longer possible. The road ahead has been blocked by the corpses of our soldiers, and the enemy's trebuchets are too powerful. We can't rush through at all."
Seeing that the way forward was blocked by his own soldiers, a school lieutenant came directly to the cavalry guard, his eyes full of sorrow.
"Tell Armsda that we tried our best and took down the wall."
Five thousand cavalrymen just charged in a few waves, and more than a thousand cavalrymen were killed. The key was that they couldn't charge in now, and there was nothing he could do.
"The general has an order to take down the city wall."
Soon the order of the cavalry guard was directly conveyed to the cavalry, and then the charging cavalry immediately stopped, and then quickly retreated under his leadership, descended from the city wall and ran towards the Governor's Palace.
"General, the cavalry of the Governor's Guard have withdrawn. They cannot defeat the enemy's trebuchets. They have no choice but to retreat due to heavy casualties."
Soon the news of the cavalry guard reached Armsdale.
"What?
How can they withdraw?"
Hearing the news of the retreat of the cavalry guards, Armstad was completely stunned. How many people have you killed? How many people have died here? Are you withdrawing now?
"Yes, they have retreated. They have retreated towards the Governor's Palace."
The soldier who delivered the news also nodded. That's what happened. If you don't believe it or accept it, there's nothing you can do about it.
"Armstar, what should we do now?"
Kabutat's hands were wrapped in gauze, and his eyes were full of panic. Now that the cavalry of the Governor's Guard had withdrawn, where should they go? The situation was now like this, and to be honest, he had no hope of continuing the fight.
"The city wall can no longer be defended. Let's lead the troops to retreat to the Governor's Palace. It seems it's time to abandon Maracanda and retreat."
The situation at this meeting is that Amstal has no fighting spirit at all. He doesn't have as many people as his opponent, and he doesn't have as many elites as his opponent, so this battle is still on hold.
"If you retreat now, will the Governor of Rijeka blame you?"
Hearing Armsda's words, Kabutat was also stunned. If they retreat now, even if it is because they cannot block the opponent's attack, I am afraid Rijeka will not let them go.
"If the Governor really wants to be blamed, there's nothing he can do about it. If he just kills me, Armsdale is willing to die. If he wants to implicate everyone, then he can't blame me?"
A flash of light flashed in Amsda's eyes. Who would want to die if he could live? If Rijeka really wanted his life, he would not sit still and wait for death.
"I see,"
Kabutat glanced at Amsda and said nothing. He already understood what the other party meant. If the other party really wanted his life, the other party might rebel.
"Walk."
Armstad nodded and left directly with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, running towards the direction of the Governor's Palace.
"General, the enemy has withdrawn, what should we do?"
Seeing the enemy leaving the city wall and rushing into the city like a tide, Xu Guang came to Xu Chu and asked him what to do now.
"The entire army is immobile for the time being and is waiting for the signal from the military flag."
If you ask Xu Chu to charge into battle, he will never frown. But the current situation is that the enemy has abandoned the city wall and withdraws troops from the city. He has no idea whether he should pursue or pause.
"Scatter projectiles to attack retreating soldiers."
Yuan Wei, who was on the mountain, saw the enemy's soldiers leaving the city wall and evacuating into the city. He no longer hesitated and directly ordered the trebuchet to adjust its position and attack.
Waves of shotguns fell from the sky, causing damage to the enemies evacuating into the city, but in the end they escaped the attack range of the trebuchets.
"Prime Minister, should we order the soldiers to attack the city now?"
Jiang Qin looked at the situation in front of him and directly asked Tian Feng about the next battle strategy.
"Temporarily order Xu Chu and his men to withdraw and postpone the attack on the city wall."
When Tian Feng saw the enemy retreating, a light flashed in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, what does this mean?"
After hearing Tian Feng's order, Jiang Qin was stunned again. Wasn't it just a decisive battle between the entire army?
Why do you want to withdraw people now that your own people have taken down the city wall?
"Haha, you will find out tonight."
Tian Feng didn't say much, he just left such a puzzling sentence and went straight down Tushan, leaving Jiang Qin there in a daze.
"Captain Yuan Wei, what does Prime Minister mean? Do you understand?"
Jiang Qin glanced at Yuan Wei next to him. He was really a little confused. What exactly was being sung confused him.
"I only care about the angle, power, and hit rate of the trebuchet. I don't pay attention to the Prime Minister's words at all. Besides, these old people who have been following His Majesty for a long time are so good at this. You can guess what you can guess with half a sentence.
If you don’t guess, they won’t say much, General Jiang Qin, just get used to it.”
Yuan Wei glanced at Jiang Qin, but smiled slightly. Tian Feng's words went in one ear and out the other, without stopping at all. As he said, his mission is only the trebuchet, and he only needs to play with the trebuchet.
Understand, his contribution is indispensable, and the task of trying to figure out the thoughts of adults cannot be placed on me.
"Hey, tell the soldiers to take a rest for the time being. We'll talk about it later. I'd like to see how things turn out tonight."
Jiang Qin shook his head.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Jiang Qin gave an order, and the sound of ringing gold instantly resounded throughout the sky, and Xu Chu on the city wall couldn't help but be startled when he heard the sound.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is right to take advantage of the situation to capture the city wall and completely take Marakanda into his hands. This will lead to the withdrawal of troops. Jiang Qin is having a brain cramp.
"General, Ming Jin has withdrawn his troops."
Although Xu Guang also felt that now was an opportunity, since the sound of gold medals had sounded from the rear, they all had to act according to the order, otherwise even if they captured Marakanda, it would be a military matter.
"withdraw."
Xu Chu nodded, looked at Malacanda in front of him, and directly ordered the soldiers to withdraw.
"withdraw troops."
The Chinese troops on the city wall heard Xu Chu's order, no longer hesitated, and began to retreat toward the city via building carriages.
Xu Chu went ahead and came directly to the army commander Jiang Qin. He wanted to see what the other party thought.
"Jiang Qin, what's going on? You said beating the drum. Brothers risked their lives and fought hard to defeat the enemy. Now they want to retreat. If you don't give me a reason today, they will let you go, and Xu Chu will not let you go either.
you."
Xu Chu stared at Jiang Qin in front of him, his eyes full of anger.
"This, Xu Chu, this is not my order. My original intention was that since the city wall was taken down and the enemy was defeated, I happened to rush into the city and completely eliminated the capital of Li Te Province. However, Prime Minister Tian Feng ordered everyone to
Troops evacuate.”
Looking at Xu Chu's big eyes, to be honest, Jiang Qin was a little frightened. Who knew what this old man could do? If he really punched himself, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Master Prime Minister?
What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Hearing that it was Prime Minister Tian Feng's order, Xu Chu immediately became a frustrated ball. He and Jiang Qin were of the same generation. They joined the Jizhou Army at the same time and had the same official position, so he dared to do this. He really had to face Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou.
He didn't dare to make mistakes with these old men from the Jizhou Army.
"The Prime Minister said that we will find out tonight, but I still don't understand what the Prime Minister is waiting for?
Could it be that he has chess pieces in Maracanda?
Why don't you go and ask?"
Jiang Qin also shook his head. If he could guess what Tian Feng was thinking, he wouldn't pull his hair here.
"Pull him down. Although Xu Chu is a reckless man, I am not a fool. We just have to respect the orders given by our superiors. Now if you ask me to ask, aren't you pushing me into a pit of fire?"
