After the horn sounded, a large number of arrows from the Divine Alliance fell from the sky, targeting the bow and arrow array of the 26th Legion.
The density of the bows and arrows that were picked up even exceeded the bow and arrow attack of the Demon Alliance just now.
Because of the high-throwing flight curve, the arrows passed over the heavy infantry in the front row without any ambiguity and ran directly towards the array of archers.
Darkness suddenly arose, and the bow and arrow commanders of the demon alliance army could not see the target instructions of the troops in front. For fear of hurting their own people, they had stopped shooting bows and arrows.
By the time these archers noticed, the enemy's arrows were already coming towards them with the breath of death.
Amidst the whistling wind, a dull metallic collision sound came from the archer array. This collision sound was mixed with screams, spreading from front to back, from the center to the wings! There were lingering sounds, lasting for a long time. Endless.
When the surviving archer came to his senses and wiped the blood on his face, he looked around and found that few people in his array were still standing. All the companions around him fell down, and their bodies were covered with blood. Arrows with white feathers and black shafts, some of the overlapping bodies on the ground were still squirming slightly, and a weak, suppressed moan came from below...
In the blink of an eye, the divine coalition forces doubled the casualties they suffered just now and returned it to the enemy!
After the second horn sounded, the soldiers of the divine coalition hidden in the position emerged from foxholes of various sizes and launched an almost frantic attack on the demon coalition in the position.
Although they had counterattacked before, those counterattacks were far less intense, perverted, and blatant than this time.
Although the demon coalition forces didn't know what was going on, facing the enemy troops pouring out from all directions, the nature of soldiers drove them to join the battle without hesitation.
Cohen has a large number of troops hidden underground in various places in the position. Such a sudden attack is really shocking. The divine coalition forces on the outside are fighting inside, and the divine coalition forces inside are rushing out!
The battle situation is one after another, fighting is happening everywhere, the armies of both sides are twisting into a big whirlpool on the position, you are in me, I am in you, each army is surrounding others and at the same time being surrounded by others.
There are only two exceptions, that is, on both sides of the position, because the divine coalition's offensive there is the craziest and the most troops are invested. These waves of desperate attacks overwhelm the demon coalition troops stationed in these two places. , had to retreat temporarily and move closer to the center of the position...
No matter who wins or loses, the Demon Alliance will not be able to pull themselves out of this quagmire in less than two hours.
Tucheng position, at this time, it has already embodied the most important mission it undertakes - that is, to gradually lure the enemy deeper, to contain most of the enemy's main battle corps through repeated battles for position, and to allow the counterattack of the divine coalition forces. The troops have a chance to break through!
"Luring the enemy deeper" is easy to say, but very difficult to do well. In the previous battle, if the performance of the divine coalition is slightly softer or harder, it may lead to the failure of the plan.
Since last night, Cohen has tried his best, leaving no tricks at his disposal.
Beating drums in the middle of the night, abandoning city walls, inciting slaves to rebel, and fighting for positions... Cohen gradually used this series of tactics, sometimes showing weakness to the enemy, sometimes fighting desperately, forcing the opponent to use the tactics he wanted.
Sure enough, Cohen reversed the situation bit by bit through his efforts, and the enemy also invested a large number of troops on the battlefield. Now, from the wall of the enemy's command post to the position, there are not many troops.
Cohen's counterattack sword is finally unsheathed!
The third horn sounded, and the two counterattack forces of the Divine Alliance, composed of the most elite warriors, fiercely fought out from the passages opened by their comrades with their blood and lives on both sides of the position!
The sword flashed in the strong wind, and the sound of killing shook the sky in the darkness, overwhelming the garrison of the demon alliance.
The demon coalition forces at the front of the position were unable to withstand these two rolling iron currents. Even the special units that assisted them only swayed a few times in the iron current and disappeared.
The heavy infantry of the demonic coalition formed a formation while shouting loudly. The soldiers smashed the giant shields on their left hands into the mud, and the spears in their right hands were flat-ended, waiting for the divine coalition to rush forward and die.
They knew that as long as they withstood the enemy's offensive, the troops behind them would arrive. As far as pure ground defense was concerned, with the armor they wore from head to toe, they could not be attacked in any way.
Not afraid.
The commander of the 27th Army has already entered the position to take command, and the commander of the 28th Army remains behind. This powerful major general was aroused by the heavy casualties of his own side. The reality of a large-scale counterattack by the God's Allied Forces
It made his blood boil even more.
After giving the order, he personally led his troops to meet them.
In the darkness, Cohen's eyes were flashing, and he was muttering: "Wen! It's up to you!"
In the air, the winged troops, which had not fought since they were besieged, were flying low, preparing to fly over their own counterattack forces.
The divine coalition forces rushed in front of them, and there was only fifty steps between the two sides. The heavy infantry squatted slightly when the commander shouted "Get ready to engage the enemy!", and their upper bodies were also leaning forward, preparing to lower themselves like this.
and shift the center of gravity to withstand the powerful impact of the enemy.
But it was not the ground troops that came to visit them first, but the winged men above them.
There are constantly neatly arranged winged men flying over the heavy infantry. After flying for a certain distance, there are always some winged men whose bodies suddenly stagnate in the air.
Likewise, without warning, some heavy infantrymen in the front row would suddenly lean back with a muffled grunt, and fall to the ground with a cry of "Get down!"
Every wingman who flew by threw a long rope from his hand, and a rope loop was tied to the end... This is a basic life skill of the wingmen. In order to fill their stomachs, they often have to do this.
Take live prey.
Although the light is dim now, the wingmen's shots are quite accurate. This is the guy they eat!
Hoplite wrestling was a matter of life and death. Because of the armor they were wearing, they couldn't get up after falling to the ground. And most people didn't know how they fell.
The long spear sticking out flat was the culprit. The wingman dropped the rope loop on it with the purpose of trapping the spear. The rope loop sliding along the gun body was instantly wrapped around the hoplite's right arm. The hoplite
Before he could exert any force, his whole body was already hung upside down.
After all the wingmen accelerated and passed first, the originally tight front line of the Demon Alliance immediately ceased to exist, and only a few kittens and two kittens were left among the heavy infantrymen still standing.
The people who fell on the ground were struggling desperately, but the armor was too heavy. Most of them could only hold up half of their bodies, and only a few of them could sit up. At least before the counterattack troops of the Divine Coalition Army rushed in, they could still do so. No one can stand up.
Then, they lay down on the ground obediently and were trampled by countless feet, causing them to faint and be trampled to death...
The heavy infantry defense line was officially broken!
"Crack!" There was a sound, and another bolt of lightning flashed across the air, pointing out the direction of advance for the counterattack troops!
Wen in the air then blew a sharp whistle, his body shook and he flew higher. The wingman behind him had taken out a crossbow from his waist and followed Wen's figure to fly higher.
Seeing that the heavy infantry in front was broken through, the commander of the 28th Legion of the Demonic Alliance didn't care much. After all, dead objects standing on the ground would be pushed down no matter how heavy they were. But then he heard two sharp whistles far away. It came from far away in the air, which shocked him.
"The enemy has air troops!" The thought just crossed his mind as he was riding a war horse. The third whistle had already sounded, and it came to his head in an instant.
"Be careful..." His wild shout was interrupted midway, and the first crossbow arrow shot by Youwen penetrated his mouth and exited from the back of his neck!
Wen's fierce gaze swept across his face, and then he turned his body, drew an arc, and flew into the sky again.
"Uh... uh..." The major general grabbed the tail of the arrow with his left hand and forcefully pulled the entire crossbow arrow out of his mouth. Blood immediately spurted out. His face twitched a few times, and his body collapsed into a ball and fell off the horse.
He died, but the suffering of his troops had just begun.
Countless winged men swooped down from high altitude, and the crossbow arrows in their hands poured down on these soldiers mercilessly. Then they turned their bodies and soared upwards. They turned the lower handle of the crossbow while flying, and loaded the arrows to prepare for the next dive...
After several dives by the Yiren, the counterattack force of the Divine Alliance rushed in front of the enemy. The two forces were like two sharp knives inserted into the enemy's array, and the offensive momentum was extremely ferocious.
Those rushing in front were all tall orc soldiers. These heavy-duty soldiers were holding broadswords, and they looked like they were exchanging lives for lives, with no regard for their own safety.
Yan Yan, who had just become the captain of the team, led his brothers to kill wildly and rushed to the front. His armor was stained with the blood of the enemy, which made countless Demon Alliance soldiers understand that the word "fierce" was not their own. Unique to the military.
I understand, I understand, but it's a pity it's a little late.
A series of tactical coordination, dizzying violent attacks, and lightning-fast attack speeds all caused chaos in the formation of the demon alliance.
They are good at attacking, but the ferocity of the enemy's offensive is shocking. They are tigers out of the cage, but the enemies are all madmen with red eyes.
Seeing the battle situation gradually becoming clearer, Cohen patted Jiadnan on the shoulder: "Old man, it's begun!"
"Okay!" Jiadenan shouted excitedly, and the drumbeat began to become extremely exciting.
That rhythm was what Cohen taught Jiadenan by beating the wooden stick. As the rhythm changed, a group of troops rushed out from the right side of the position again, with fully equipped soldiers in front and nearly a thousand young refugees behind them.
They are all the soldiers of the Ninth Legion and the people Cohen is willing to protect with his life.
They are running along this road of hope, step by step towards the front line. As long as they protrude from the city wall, there will be open terrain outside, and the demonic coalition forces in the chaos cannot catch them.
"My brothers, thank you so much for the happy time you gave me. No matter where I am, I will always remember you." Cohen's eyes followed the troops, his eyes filled with tenderness that he had never shown since the siege: "
That's all I can do...you guys have to take care!"
After a series of breathless attacks, by the time the drum beat changed, the demonic coalition could no longer hold on.
"Report, sir!" An officer who had been hit by several crossbow arrows ran back to the command post, vomiting blood and said to the lieutenant general: "Two lines of defense of our army were broken. The commander of the 28th Army Corps died in the battle. The third line of defense held up
We can’t go down anymore. The enemy’s front line is less than... less than one mile away from the command post... There are no more troops to send in the city..."
Before the officer could finish speaking, he had already fainted from excessive blood loss.
The lieutenant general was shocked! The troops outside the city were the 26th Army Corps. Because the roads were filled with carriages transporting the wounded, the 26th Army Corps, all light cavalry, could not enter for a while, while the troops in the city
All trapped in the position...
I didn't expect that the phantom army's counterattack would be so fast and so violent! Now, I, the commander, was helpless and extremely dangerous.
Do you want to retreat? If the military flag is raised and the morale of the army is gone, if the divine coalition forces take the opportunity to rush out... this battle may be lost!
Not retreating? There is only one of your own bodyguards and some wounded soldiers left around the command post. How can you withstand the enemy's fierce attack? You may die!
"Sir, retreat quickly! I'm here to defend here!" The staff officer rushed up and said, "The counterattack of the Divine Alliance is at the end of its strength. Your Excellency, if you go and summon the 26th Legion behind you, you will definitely not let any of the Divine Alliance break out!"
"Crack!" Another bolt of lightning struck in the air in front of the command post. In this flash of lightning, the lieutenant general had already made a choice.
"Order! The 26th Army Corps will attack immediately! Go in person!" The lieutenant general drew out his sword: "All officers and soldiers in the command post follow me!"
"Sir, stop!" A guard rushed up and hugged his feet tightly: "You can't go!"
"Trash! I am a soldier! Soldiers can die, but I cannot die?" The lieutenant general kicked the guard away: "As long as my death can bring victory and the honor of the Demon Alliance, I will
Die bravely! If you are a soldier, follow me. The great reputation of the Demon Alliance cannot be ruined in our hands!"
"Sir, take care!" With tears in his eyes, the staff officer gave the lieutenant general a standard military salute, then grabbed the lieutenant general's command talisman and jumped off the city wall!
"All warriors inside and outside the city walls - for the honor of the Dark Lord! For the honor of the Demonic Alliance! For the honor of the warriors! Pick up your weapons, burn your will to fight, and stand with me!" Lieutenant General said.
On the city wall, he shouted loudly: "My glorious warriors, I will personally lead you in a bloody battle! We live for honor, and we can also die for honor! Fight for honor!"
"I am willing to follow the general! Fight for honor!"
The soldiers of the Guards responded loudly. Thousands of them were in good military appearance and with high morale.
"Secure all exits and don't let an enemy rush out!" the lieutenant general ordered loudly: "The divine coalition will see that the soldiers of the demon coalition are not in vain!"
"Always follow the general!" Thousands of people responded loudly at the same time.
These people divided their forces to guard a dozen or so exits, but there were only a dozen or so exits. Even including the wounded soldiers who stood up, there were only a few hundred people guarding each exit. Before they had time to be afraid, there was a heavy blow above their heads. There was a "whoosh" sound.
Countless black shadows flew across the sky and rushed towards the light cavalry outside the city. These were the winged troops, and they were going to hold back the light cavalry outside the city!
The 26th Legion outside the city is marching slowly, almost moving here step by step - because the catapults throw too many stones, there are few clear passages outside the city, and now there are even more. The carriages were crowded with carriages transporting the wounded, and the wingmen who flew out of the city first attacked the horses pulling the carriages. Now everything was in chaos outside the city.
The divine coalition forces defeated the resisting troops in front and were rushing towards the broken city wall like a violent storm! Here, at this moment, the positions of the offensive and defensive sides have been completely reversed.
"Fight to the death!" In the lieutenant general's wild shout, the two sides started fighting!
"Fight to the death!" The soldiers of the Guards loudly responded, fighting to the death. No one actually had fear on their face.
The Divine Alliance's offensive was extremely fierce. After several encounters, the defenders near the exit were almost dead.
"Fight to the death!" the lieutenant general shouted wildly again, leading several staff officers and the soldiers of the Divine Alliance who had already rushed to the city wall to fight into a group.
"Fight to the death!" Standing behind the bodyguards were the wounded who could still move. These people responded loudly to the lieutenant general, taking the place of their comrades who had just died and continuing to resist the impact of the divine coalition forces.
"Fight to the death..." Before he could finish his sentence, the lieutenant general who was fighting at the top of the city staggered and fell.
Then, amid the lamentations of the staff guards beside the lieutenant general, the flag of the Demon Alliance command post also wavered twice and fell down amid the exclamations!
"Sir! The wall is broken!" Under the strong light of lightning, Cohen and the staff officers around him saw this scene. Carlos shouted wildly and danced, as if he had rushed out!
"Yes!" A smile appeared on Cohen's face, and then he noticed that the hand holding the knife turned pale due to excessive exertion: "After breaking out of the city wall, they are in sight of victory!"
The Divine Alliance Command Post was even more jubilant. At this time, through my own efforts, my comrades were able to rush out. What a great victory it was!
The city wall was broken, and the enemy's 26th Army Corps was also in chaos under the attack of the Yimen. The Yimen shot horses but not people. The commander of the 26th Army looked helplessly at the flag of his own command post. He fell down but there was nothing he could do, except for a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
There was already a river of blood at the exit of the city wall. Except for sporadic fighting in a few areas, the first soldier from the Divine Alliance in front had already stepped on the ground outside the city wall. As soon as they left the city wall, these people could Moving as if flying on a pile of rocks.
The successful breakout has become an ironclad fact!
However, this was a foregone conclusion, but at this time, it changed.
"Fight to the death!" In a cry that was extremely difficult to hear but full of grief and indignation, a seriously injured member of the demon alliance rushed out from the carriage next to the exit, shouting: "Always follow the general!"
Scattered bandages were trailing behind him, and during the fierce running, blood spattered from the re-opened wounds on his body!
With a "Check" sound, the seriously injured soldier died immediately under the sword of the Divine Alliance Army, cut in two pieces!
"Fight to the death!" Following this response, more people got off the carriage parked outside the passage, and kept rushing towards the entrance of the passage: "Always follow the general!"
They were the seriously injured people lying on the carriage. They were supposed to be unable to move and linger on, but now only God knows what was supporting them to get up.
However, one thing is certain, they did get up, and these wounded people blocked the exit of the city wall with themselves!
"Fight to the death!" More and more wounded people supported each other and squeezed into the passage. With tears in their eyes and pride on their faces, they roared with their dying bodies: "Always follow the general!"
The divine coalition forces who rushed out of the city wall used the weapons in their hands to slash and kill the wounded crazily, but they could not finish them all!
The few remaining guard troops in the Demon Alliance camp came out and rushed here like crazy. The light cavalry of the 26th Legion ignored the wingmen who were still entangled above their heads and rushed away under the rain of arrows.
Come up!
"O Lord of Darkness - we are always proud of the monarch we serve and will sing your name forever and ever.
We praise you because you saved us.
When the enemy comes to attack us, he falls down and dies.
Although a large army attacks us, our hearts do not tremble.
Let us lift up our heads and despise the great enemies around me; let us offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle.
The Dark Lord, our lord!
We will sing your praises on the altars of our enemies."
In this wave of prayers, all the soldiers of the Demonic Alliance didn't care about their own life or death. The wounded in the front asked you to cut them with a fierce look, while the ones behind took a breath and pushed forward! The wounded in the middle were until
I chanted loudly before I took my last breath!
Just like that, the demonic coalition forces behind, against the dead companions in front, forcefully pushed back the divine coalition troops that protruded from the city wall step by step!
The counterattack force of the Divine Alliance refused to retreat, but they could not withstand the numerical advantage of the enemy. Looking at the city wall behind them that was getting closer and closer, the feeling of shame and anger was like heartbreaking!
The demon coalition snatched out a team of special soldiers, leaped all the way up the city wall, slashed wildly, and raised their own flag amidst the roars of thousands of people!
What is even more unexpected is that this special team fought to the death in the chaos to the place where the lieutenant general fell, and dug out the lieutenant general from under the layers of corpses.
The lieutenant general, whose left hand was cut off at the elbow level, was pinned down by several staff officers when he was injured, thus escaping the pursuit of the divine coalition. After being rescued by this special unit and brought to the military flag, the pale lieutenant general held his head high
With the sword, shout again!
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Fight to the death!" The demonic coalition cheered thunderously, stepping on the corpses of nearly 10,000 of their own wounded, and finally squeezed the divine coalition back into the city wall.
The soldiers of the 26th Legion filed in, and the battle line fell into a stalemate. The advantage of the Divine Alliance was gone.
Seeing all this, the command post of the God's Allied Forces fell into silence, and everyone looked ashen.
With a "pop!", the black iron knife in Cohen's hand fell to the ground, and he was so depressed that he almost wanted to cry.
He racked his brains to bring the situation back, and finally allowed the Demon Alliance to be careless and create this fleeting opportunity... Against all odds, he could not have predicted that he would fall on the enemy's wounded soldiers!
Even though I have millions of tricks in my heart, but God refuses to follow my wishes... Cohen is completely despairing, and he had to hold back just now to keep from crying.
But who is he? In the blink of an eye, the arrogance in his heart surges up. Even if he dies, he will have to hold on to enough support!
"The fighter plane has passed, all counterattack troops retreat! Archers cover!" Cohen said in a hoarse voice: "Fight to the death, right? I'll show you what a real fight to the death is!" (To be completed.)
