Chapter 833: Two Battlefields
Thank you for the reward from the False Silent Son!
Thanks to Victor Liga for the two monthly passes!
Although he had always been in a state of expecting casualties, he was still taken aback when he heard this number, "So many? ”
The lieutenant nodded.
"What about the enemy?" Ichijo asked anxiously.
The adjutant general swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "The enemy's number of casualties is much lower than ours!" ”
"What!?"
In such a siege battle, the casualty ratio of the attacking and defending sides should be between 15:1 and 35:1, and the disproportionate casualty ratio only shows that the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is far stronger than theirs.
It is normal for the Wei army's combat effectiveness to be stronger than theirs, after all, the Wei army besieging the city is the elite of the field army, and it is far superior to the dog slave army in terms of combat effectiveness, will to fight, and even weapons.
He stood by the battlement and was silent for a while, looking at the Wei army camp outside the city and muttering: "If we go on like this, we can hold out for two days at most!" ”
He turned around abruptly and instructed: "Send someone to report the situation here to the general immediately, if the reinforcements do not arrive within two days, the Wolf Head Mountain Fortress will not be protected!" ”
The adjutant general's heart sank, and he answered, and then retreated.
At the same time, the Wei army, which intercepted the main force of the Dog Slave Army, had also fought a bloody battle with the Dog Slave Army for a whole day.
There were countless corpses floating on the small river between the two armies, which were shot by the long-range bows and crossbows of the Wei army when they crossed the river to attack. The corpses of the soldiers on both sides are intertwined, and they are as far as the eye can see. It is estimated that there were nearly 20,000 corpses.
The battle that took place here has been going on for two days, and the armies on both sides have paid a great price.
Gradually, the sun rises over the horizon. I have always looked at the rising sun, and I am not happy at all, but full of worry.
Suddenly there was a thunderous war drum in his ears, and he subconsciously looked over, only to feel a murderous aura covering the sky and the sun.
With the roar of the crossbows and catapults of the Wei army on both sides, the battle began again, and at the same time, the main force of the dog slave army began to attack the Wei army on the front, and the fire of war on the other side of the valley was once again ignited.
The Wei army's main stronghold to intercept the dog slave army was located on the south bank of the river, divided into three layers, each with a trench. There is a drawbridge connecting both sides of the trench, and countless sharp wooden stakes are inserted into the trench, and the fate of those who fall into it can be imagined.
On the outside of the outermost trench there is a circle of wooden flail one foot high, and there is a gentle upward slope from the outermost side to the inside, which makes it easy for the people inside to use the bow and crossbow to strike at the attacking enemy, of course, everything has two sides, this slope is convenient for the defender and at the same time exposes the defender's crossbowmen to the range of the opponent's archers.
Gao Ran stood on a high place, looking at the dog slave army swarming over, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Gao Ran was originally in Sichuan, but was transferred to Fusang by Cao Cao before.
"General. The enemy is coming! "I want to see the soldiers.
Gao Ran nodded and said to the king of the leopard country beside him, "King, I wonder if you can stop the first formation?" ”
The king of the Leopard Country slapped his chest and said in a loud voice: "The men of our Leopard Country are not bad breeds!" Rest assured, general! "Then it went down.
The king of the Leopard Kingdom rode his horse to the inside of the first trench. At this time, tens of thousands of Leopard Country soldiers had been placed inside, and everyone looked a little nervous.
The Leopard Kingdom reined in its war horse and shouted: "Warriors of the Leopard Country, use your scimitars and spears to destroy the enemies who oppress you!" ”
The eyes of the soldiers of the Leopard Country flashed blood. At the same time, he raised his scimitar and shouted.
Part of the Dog Slave Army had landed ashore, and a large force was crowding the river.
Gao Ran said in a deep voice to the herald beside him: "Ballista, catapults. Attack! ”
The herald promised. Immediately, the war drums of the Wei army sounded loudly, and at the same time, two red order flags also danced. Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred ballistae on the central heights of the camp roared together, and at the same time, the catapults located on the inside of the second and third trenches also began to attack.
Whizzing bows and arrows and canisters of fire oil fell in the crowd of enemy troops, and the enemy troops fell on their backs and screamed loudly.
The Wei army's long-range weapons have not yet reached the power of cannons, and it is impossible to stop the enemy's approach, and tens of thousands of dog slave army elites rushed out of the flail.
At this time, a large rain of arrows flew out from behind the flail, and a large piece of the Dog Slave Army's forward fell on the ground, and the Dog Slave Army's tower shield men immediately formed a tower shield defense line, and the other infantry holding light shields formed a huge shield behind the tower shield to protect the head of the entire army array.
The military formation, which was tightly protected by shields, slowly pressed towards the Wei army camp, and there was a dense sound like rain hitting banana leaves outside, these dog slave troops deserved to be elite divisions, and they were really quite well-trained!
Gao Ran frowned and ordered the ballista to concentrate on attacking the opponent's shield array.
The terrifying guns and arrows flew towards the shield array with a buzzing sound, and with a series of heavy crashes, the shield line of the dog slave army was torn open several large gaps, but they quickly closed the gaps and reformed a tight shield array, still pressing towards the Wei army camp without hurry.
After holding two rounds of ballista strikes, the shield array of the dog slave army entered the perspective of ballista shooting, after another round of arrow rain in the leopard ****, the tower shield in front of the dog slave army suddenly dispersed, thousands of archers exposed their bodies, the soldiers of the leopard country couldn't help but be surprised, not waiting for them to come over, a bowstring sounded, dense arrows roared out, the leopard soldiers who were close at hand fell a large piece, the whole army was chaotic, but it quickly subsided, but at this time, the dog slave army had opened a long period of wooden flail, A temporary wooden bridge was erected over the trenches.
The Dog Slave Army dispersed, shouted fiercely, and surged in through the gap.
At this moment, the Wei crossbowmen behind the second and third trenches began to shoot, and the dense rain of arrows stirred up a wave among the dog slave army, and some of the Rus soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell into the trenches and ended up in a miserable end.
The Dog Slave Army rushed through the first trench, and in the process, some of the hapless Dog Slave soldiers were pushed down the trench by their companions and died tragically on the stakes in the trench.
The king of the leopard country raised his scimitar and roared, and the soldiers of the leopard country shouted violently, meeting the wave of the dog slave army.
60,000 or 70,000 soldiers on both sides fought on the edge of the first trench.
The Dog Slave Army behaved quite fiercely, howling like wild beasts, and showing excitement in the face of the blood splashed on their faces: although the Leopard Nation soldiers were also very brave, they were obviously much lower in momentum.
The battle was going on, and the soldiers of the Leopard Country were gradually revealing more than that, and their will to fight was rapidly fading.
Gao Ran frowned and looked at the battlefield not far away. The adjutant general on the side said with some concern: "General, I'm afraid that the leopard army won't be able to withstand it for long!" (To be continued.) )
