Jiang Qin led his soldiers and began to attack Qian Jinshi, but it was not easy to destroy this place in an instant. He could only seize the time and do his best.
"General Yan Liang, we have captured the opponent's trebuchet, but their resistance is very fierce. It doesn't look like they have lost their morale at all. On the contrary, their morale is high and it is difficult to deal with them."
Soon the results of the battle on Wei Yan's side were reported back to Yan Liang. He heard that instead of being demoralized, the opponent's morale was getting higher and higher, which made him a little confused.
"Immediately report the situation here to His Majesty. It may not be as easy to capture Bakrat as we thought. We ask him to send more troops and horses here immediately. At the same time, we ask Jiang Qin what the situation is over there and how long it will take to secure the city gate.
Open."
Yan Liang thought for a while, and the current situation became more and more weird. Logically speaking, the enemy should have cried and surrendered when the city wall was breached, but now he really couldn't understand it.
"promise."
Soon the soldiers divided into two groups, one group went to the army to report the situation here to Yuan Shu, and the other group went directly to the city gate to ask Jiang Qin about the situation there.
"What, instead of losing morale, the enemy has high morale and is ready to resist?"
After hearing the situation reported by Yan Liang, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be stunned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Could it be that the city of Bakrat was really about to engage in street fighting as he thought?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Yan Liang asked you to send more troops and horses there. Bakrat City may not be as easy as imagined."
The guard saluted Yuan Shu again and told him all the news that Yan Liang was going to bring.
"Ju Yi."
After hearing Yan Liang's thoughts, Yuan Shu did not dare to neglect and directly ordered Ju Yi's general.
"I'm here."
Ju Yi immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Yuan Shu.
"I order you to lead our troops and 80,000 Western Region infantry as the second echelon to support Yan Liang immediately."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Yi, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Although he now has many soldiers and generals, there are not many that can be used. Except for the cavalry, the remaining soldiers and horses are being thrown away to build corps.
How many, so the second batch he arranged were basically infantry from the Western Regions.
"promise."
Ju Yi saluted Yuan Shu again, then turned around and was about to lead his men to kill him.
"General Ju Yi, please wait."
Seeing Ju Yi about to leave, Tian Feng suddenly spoke up and stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu was also stunned, not knowing what he meant.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has made up his mind to fight for every inch of territory. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our casualties will not be small."
Even if he was facing Yuan Shu, Tian Feng would still have something to say. After all, he was an old man who had been involved in Yuan Shu's rebellion since the beginning. There were things that others were embarrassed to say, but he had no scruples.
"I know, isn't it just street fighting? As long as there is no conflict and no excessive greed for credit, and the buildings are cleaned up one by one, the area is cleared, and it is only a matter of time to capture Bakrat."
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng. He didn't even think about taking down Bakrat easily. Wasn't it just a street fight?
Then come on and play with you by yourself.
"Your Majesty, this battle is indispensable without the support of long-range weapons. I think it is better to let General Ju Yi bring the Scholar No. 2 trebuchet. In this way, it can provide some remote support to the soldiers, and if it is necessary to pull out the stronghold,
It will be easier with them around."
Now that Yuan Shu has made preparations, Tian Feng has nothing to say. What he has to do now is to reduce the losses of his own soldiers as much as possible, so the Scholar No. 2 movable trebuchet is their most reliable guarantee now.
"Well, Ju Yi, take the Scholar No. 2 trebuchet over there. If you encounter any hard-to-gnaw bones, use the trebuchet to hit me. Don't be stingy with the ammunition. Take care of it."
Yuan Shu also nodded. When the Scholar No. 2 trebuchet was originally modified, its original intention was to provide close support when infantry attacked the city. Now it seems to be more suitable for street fighting.
"promise."
After hearing Yuan Shu's order, Ju Yi was also excited. If there is help from Scholar No. 2 Trebuchet, it will definitely be of great benefit to their next battle.
Ju Yi led 20,000 advance troops, 80,000 Western Region infantry, and thirty Scholar No. 2 trebuchets and began to advance towards the gap.
"Each department operates in a decentralized manner. Each department has a thousand men, with a hundred Polu troops as the front row. They advance in all directions. No one is missed, no one is missed, and every station is cleared. Do you understand?"
Yuan Shu's second wave of troops came over there, and Yan Liang was also directing the soldiers to spread out for cleaning activities. He also saw that the Daxia people were not so easy to give in. If he wanted to capture them, he had to conquer them bit by bit.
Otherwise, if one area is not cleaned thoroughly, unknown hidden dangers may occur.
"Your Highness, the Chinese army has entered the city. The trebuchets and nearly 10,000 soldiers deployed by General Helmata not far away have already engaged the opponent.
But the enemy's fighting power was very strong, the trebuchet was captured, and the soldiers over there were defeated.
Now the Chinese have dispersed their troops and started cleaning the houses one by one. It seems that they have understood our intention."
News came back soon, and Delhui directly guessed the meaning of the Chinese army through the news.
"It's just as we expected. I just want to fight with them. We must fight for every inch of land. Even if we don't need a city wall, we must let them know our fighting power and determination."
After hearing Delhui's words, Vespit nodded. Although the wave of troops did not block the enemy's attack, it also showed his attitude and determination, letting the Chinese people know that he would definitely fight them to the end.
"Then why don't we send the cavalry out? Aren't they scattered? We'll send the cavalry into five thousand-man teams and eat their soldiers and horses first."
Yeluda, the personal guard commander next to Vespit, glanced at the two of them and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Yeluda is right. He ordered Hermata to immediately divide the five thousand cavalry into five groups and attack the enemy separately. But one thing should be remembered. If you encounter trouble, you cannot retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight and immediately look for another target.
, remember?”
Vespit also agreed with Yeluda's intention and immediately gave his instructions.
"I'll order someone to do it right away."
Yeluda saluted directly to the other party and then went to convey his meaning.
"Your Highness, since the enemy is now clearing the place with a force of a thousand people, we can also make corresponding preparations. If they have a thousand people, we will send two thousand people to fight guerrilla warfare with them. Let's see who is more powerful than the Chinese who have the numerical advantage.
We, who are more familiar with the terrain, will have the upper hand."
Yeluda left, and Delhui also expressed his next opinion. Didn't the Chinese divide their forces? Then I will confront you. Anyway, I am familiar with the terrain and my support is definitely faster than the Chinese. Maybe I can defeat the opponent.
One was caught off guard.
"Well, what you said is feasible. Immediately convey this idea to the generals and let them act according to the plan. There must be passive defense and active attack. We must give the Chinese a head-on blow."
Vespit also attached great importance to Delhui's opinion, and what the other party said was right. He just caught the enemy who had just entered the city, and he could steal the chicken.
"yes."
Soon all the troops in Daxia Province received Vespit's order. Taking advantage of the terrain, they quickly took action. In addition to the necessary defensive troops and horses from various places, mobile troops were immediately assembled and began to snipe Yan Liang.
Soldiers scattered.
The fastest moving cavalry here are the cavalry under the Governor's Guard. The five thousand cavalry are divided into five teams, each team has a thousand cavalry. Even in the streets, they are moving like the wind. They quickly caught a thousand soldiers and horses, and they caught sight of them.
Killed without blinking.
"No, it's the cavalry. The Polu army is holding them back. The rest of the soldiers should go into the surrounding houses. Don't let them break out."
Seeing the enemy's cavalry coming, the Polu army did not dare to neglect, and directly ordered the Polu army to resist the enemy, buying time for their brothers and horses, so that they could seize the time to escape.
Soon, the soldiers of the Polu army raised their shields to block the front line, and the soldiers behind immediately began to sneak into the surrounding houses.
"kill."
Seeing that the enemy was in panic, the cavalry commander did not hesitate and directly drew his scimitar and charged forward.
The Polu army were all real men. Facing a cavalry force ten times their own, no one retreated. They gritted their teeth and stood behind their shields, preparing to withstand the enemy's impact.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
A series of crashes sounded. Although the Polu army only had a hundred people, they were not in the wilderness but on a narrow street. There were twenty people in a row, and they had deployed five rows of defense lines.
Even if the enemy's cavalry breaks through the first two levels with impact, they will still fall under the steel swords and spears of the third level. However, as the cavalry behind them continue to advance, they are only one step away from breaking through the Polu army's defense line.
A layer of window paper.
"Hold them off."
Feeling the enemy's impact, the team leader also gritted his teeth and directed the soldiers to continue to resist.
Sometimes the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, but in the face of absolute strength, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they are in vain. Finally, they were broken through by the enemy's cavalry. Fortunately, with this period of resistance, all the brother soldiers behind them hid.
Inside the surrounding houses.
"Fire arrows to cover the Polu army."
The soldiers who got into the house were not idle either. They bent their bows and arrows and began to attack the cavalry attacking their own Polu army.
The Governor's Guards of Bakrat City are all the best of the best. Their cavalry can be regarded as half heavy cavalry. The soldiers wear half-armored horses and are also armored. Facing the rain of arrows from Yuan Shu's soldiers, unless they hit an unprotected place like the neck,
Otherwise, it won't cause too many casualties to them.
Although the Governor's Guard was not afraid of the Chinese army's arrows, they had no way to dismount and enter the house to fight the Chinese. Just as Vespit ordered, they should not be reckless and evacuate immediately without a chance to find new fighters.
