MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 324 If you are alone in the vanguard, our army will be victorious
Chapter 324 If you are a pioneer alone, our army will surely win
King Cang Tian climbed to the top of Chixia City, and at the west gate, the morale of the Feiying Army, which had already been weakened by the impact, rose sharply for a while.
Shouts spread all over the city: "The king is here, brothers, the king has not given up on us, kill everyone, drive away these sons of **** in Wei!"
"The reinforcements are coming, everyone cheer up, don't be a coward under the eyes of the king!"
"My sons and daughters, the king is already on the top of the wall, why should we wait to die?"
"Woo! Woo! Woo! Kill!"
Boom! Boom! Boom—!
The rumbling drums were louder and louder, and with all kinds of killing cries, more flying shadow troops rushed to the top of the city.
The reinforcements brought various defensive weapons such as boulder rollers, kerosene, bows and arrows.
The Wei army used trebuchets to throw stones from the bottom up from a distance. The Feiying army took advantage of the top of the wall, but they only needed to push the boulder down from the top of the city to break the muscles and bones of the soldiers of the Wei army who were climbing the ladder. Fall to death.
Suddenly, the casualties of the Wei army increased greatly.
Among them, the Wei army part was originally mixed with some masters who did not need to climb the ladder honestly, but only needed to borrow a little force from the rope of the ladder, and they could fly over the city wall with light work.
These masters of the Wei army leaped up and down the city wall, like eagles and sparrows, and ordinary soldiers were not a single enemy wherever they passed.
They are members of the Xuanjia Battalion of the Wei Army, the elite of the elite, selected by Xiao Man himself, and formed by himself.
In the Xuanjia camp, everyone is a master of the inner family, with good inner strength and lightness skills, because every member will wear a lock made of black wire under the outer clothes. Zijia, so it is called Xuanjia Camp.
Before, before Cangtian King came to reinforce, Xuanjia Battalion could be said to shine brilliantly on the battlefield, killing the soldiers of the Feiying Army with fear, causing sensations everywhere they passed.
But when the Heavenly King came, he also brought a large number of masters from the Martial Arts Hall. These masters asked for a fight one after another, and the current situation reversed.
These masters also flew into the battlefield, and stared at the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion to fight each other.
Although the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion are all good at martial arts, compared with the members of the Martial Arts Hall around Cang Tianwang, their martial arts direction is somewhat disadvantageous.
Just because Cang Tian Wang's Martial Arts Hall was originally established for assassination and protection, and most of its members are actually recruited by Cang Tian Wang.
The martial arts practiced by these people in the rivers and lakes can be said to be varied and weird.
Meteor hammers, Emei thorns, judge pens, etc. are relatively common, as are the sickle-shaped prongs, the long banners that look like mourning sticks, and what kind of whips, large guillotines, etc. Coupled with all kinds of strange hidden weapons, tricks of the rivers and lakes, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion who mainly focus on fighting in battle, when they were caught off guard, many fell to the disadvantage.
This is not to say that the Xuanjia Battalion must be weaker than Shangwutang. In fact, the Xuanjia Battalion has many more people than Shangwutang. Kill the crap.
But in fact, the people from the Xuanjia Battalion were scattered on the battlefield. They were red-eyed before and rushed too fast. . The effect was immediately very conspicuous.
All in all, after Cang Tianwang arrived, the situation of the two armies immediately reversed subtly.
And this gap seems to be expanding rapidly!
In the ranks of the Wei army under the city wall, several generals who had not yet fought in the rear suddenly looked worried.
Someone hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness, shall we continue to press up? The total strength of Chixia City is at least 70,000 to 80,000, and if the Feiying Army of 70,000 to 80,000 defends the city, our strength is only about 100,000. I'm afraid it may not be enough to consume them."
Someone worried: "Yes, Your Highness, there are also Feiying Army in Tanzhou and Suzhou. Once King Cangtian summons them back, won't our 100,000 troops be made dumplings by them instead?"
Yes, although Xiao Man led his troops around several states and directly arrived at the west gate of Chixia City in an unpredictable way of marching, the number of troops he could actually bring was not much—
Don't say that there are many people in one hundred thousand people, it is relative whether there are too many people!
If it is to attack an ordinary small city, a 100,000 army can be called a crushing situation, but to attack a big city like Chixia City, especially the Cangtian King used it as a stronghold and invested a lot of troops in it. In this case, 100,000 troops There really isn't much left.
Siege and defense are different. From a safe point of view, the strength of the siege often needs to be several times that of the defender!
There is a saying in the art of war: if it is ten, it will be surrounded, if it is five, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be divided.
Ten times the troops can besiege the city, five times the troops can attack the city, and double the troops should divide and attack!
But the strength of the Wei army here is not to mention five times that of the enemy, even if it is doubled, they don't have it.
This siege of the city can be described as a dangerous move by soldiers, and the essence lies in surprise.
It's not that Xiao Man doesn't want to lead more troops, but it's because it's not so easy for a large army to march.
People eat horse chews along the way, not only to worry about food, grass and water, but also to prevent leaks, prevent soldiers from getting sick, prevent heartbreak, etc., and various problems. To be able to bring such an army to the predetermined position on time, That can be said to be a very high-level commander.
Otherwise, how could the morale of the Wei army be so high when they arrived at Chixia City?
That is of course because, in fact, everyone also thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very remarkable. High-level leaders can give great confidence to their subordinates, and the soldiers also have the heart to make contributions, and they also want to take Chixia City with all their might!
But as the saying goes, one bout of energy, another bout and then decline, three bouts and exhaustion.
Surprise raiders cannot fight for a long time. Once they succeed, they will succeed.
Of course Xiao Man is well aware of this point.
But he never forgot the agreement with Cheng Ling. Although the persuasion of his subordinates was very reasonable, Xiao Man said: "If morale declines, you can take the lead alone! The King of Heaven is in battle, and the morale of the Feiying Army is soaring. Vanguard, our army will be victorious in every battle!"
As he spoke, he immediately ordered his personal guards to move the chariots, so that the soldiers in front of the formation would get out of the way, and he wanted to go to the city gate himself!
The soldiers on the left and right were shocked, and they all persuaded: "Your Highness, you can't be like this. Your Highness leads the troops personally, and he is already on the front line. Who in the hearts of the soldiers is not grateful? If Your Highness wants to be the vanguard in person, why don't you step on my corpse... Then, again... "
The general was talking, but his tongue was tied.
He stared in the direction of the head of Chixia City over there in a daze.
On the top of the city, a guard of honor with the size of a phoenix suddenly surged forward mightily. On top of the phoenix, a woman with a colorful phoenix crown lifted the curtain of the car in person.
She held the servant's hand, stepped off the chariot eagerly and gracefully, opened her mouth, and murmured softly: "My lord, I have come to live and die with you!"
Bright moon through the ages, you and I share the reward. I wish my little friends a happy Lantern Festival tonight and a happy Lantern Festival every year!
