Chapter 638: Victory!
Shang Ji was also afraid of long nights and dreams, and after a brief rest, the troops immediately launched another attack on Longcheng. Without destroying the Dragon City, the war cannot be said to have been won, and we dare not relax for a moment!
The Pingzhou army captured the inner city gate and stationed troops here, the Xianbei people naturally did not have a strategy to deal with, the whole 20,000 Xianbei troops were stationed on the streets not far from the Pingzhou army, and set up roadblocks such as tripping horses, horse rejection piles, deer firewood, and shield cars.
At the same time, a large group of crossbowmen and pikemen were also arranged, which were not common among the Xianbei people.
These things are still good for ordinary cavalry, however, the high-level special troops of the Pingzhou assault force are all high-level special troops, how can they be compared to ordinary cavalry?
Charging against the rain of arrows with a very low threat, the black armor Xuancai defeated the Xianbei army in a few rounds of spear throwing. The simple defense equipment has become an ornament, and it can be easily broken up.
In terms of riding with steps, the Xianbei people are not even younger brothers!
As the striker, the black-armored Xuanqi smashed the barricades of the Xianbei people into pieces, and the Xianbei people after them dispersed directly. The ordinary defenders of Dragon City have a very low will to fight, and their combat effectiveness is also sorry for Dragon City, a king-level city.
However, where would the defeated infantry be the opponent of the cavalry, like a duck, most of the 20,000 Xianbei people were hunted, and the scene was very bloody.
When the elite of the 30,000 Guardian Army led by Cowardly arrived at the scene, the hunt had already come to an end, and after looking at the brutal Pingzhou Army from a distance, Cowardly Qin's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to step forward to stop the enemy.
However, the Pingzhou army was not polite, and immediately rode their horses to kill them. Timid Qin was immediately panicked, and did not dare to resist at all, so he turned his horse and led the troops to withdraw.
While wanting to run and chase at the same time, the Pingzhou army bit the tail of the cowardly Qin army and chased after it, killing some of the plagues from time to time.
The high priest on the other side also received the latest battle situation, and was so angry that he flipped the table on the spot.
The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the high priest has secretly said that it is not good. Originally, he also planned to conduct street battles, with the help of geographical advantages, to delay the pace of the Pingzhou army to attack the core area of Longcheng. As a result, who knew that the combat strength of the Pingzhou Army was so fierce, and the 20,000-strong blocking corps was wiped out almost instantly!
Gritting his teeth, the High Priest gave the final order, all the defenders of Dragon City moved closer to the City Lord's Mansion, and all the residents of Dragon City took up arms, abandoned all unimportant buildings, and defended the Shrine and the City Lord's Mansion with all their might.
This order is exactly what Shang Ji meant, and when he learned that the defenders of Longcheng were retreating, Shang Ji was overjoyed, and ordered Liu Yi to lead most of them to control the traffic arteries as soon as possible, and not let any Xianbei people in the inner city go out of the city, and if necessary, they could give up control of the outer city.
After that, Shang Ji no longer cared about the affairs of the inner city, and followed the cowardly army all the way to the core of Dragon City.
Here, Shang Ji also encountered the strongest garrison force in Dragon City, 30,000 Templar Legions, 40,000 elite Guardian Army, and about 60,000 ordinary Dragon City defenders.
Of course, in addition to these regular troops, there are also a large number of Xianbei militia armed with improvised weapons, and the combat effectiveness of this group is negligible.
The high priest was overjoyed when he saw that only 50,000 horses had been killed by the Pingzhou army. Immediately abandon the original strategy of holding on with all their might, and instead attack with the whole army, as soon as possible to eliminate this Han army unit that "lightly advanced the enemy", so as to boost the morale of the army and improve morale.
The High Priest's order completely ruined the last hope of the defenders of Dragon City!
Among the 130,000 Xianbei legions, only 30,000 Templar legions could barely compete with the carefully selected 50,000 Pingzhou troops. The rest of the army, whether it is the cathar army or the ordinary defenders of Longcheng, will be defeated in the face of the Pingzhou army.
As for the Xianbei militia, who are generally around the first and second orders, they don't even have the qualifications to meddle in the battlefield!
A soldier of the Pingzhou army stood still, and it was difficult for the Xianbei militia to kill them. On the contrary, with a slight wave of his hand, the Pingzhou sergeant could kill a large area of Xianbei militia.
Without discussing the strength of commanders and special troops, the average rank of the army is one order apart, and the weaker side in the field needs two to three times the strength advantage to barely remain undefeated, and this gap is more obvious in the high-level army.
And the average rank of these 50,000 Pingzhou troops is similar to that of the Temple Legion, all of them are around the seventh rank. However, the Pingzhou Army is almost all high-level special troops above the prefecture level, and the Temple Legion is only a Xuan-level special army, and the actual combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou Army is much higher than that of the Temple Army.
The fifth-order and sixth-order soldiers of the Xianbei Guardian Army account for about half each, and they are all low-level special troops. The ordinary defenders of Dragon City are mainly fourth-order, and a small number of fifth-order elites.
Comprehensive analysis shows that although the strength of the Long Cheng Army is almost three times that of the Pingzhou Army, the comprehensive combat strength is weaker.
What's more, among the 50,000 Pingzhou troops, there are as many as six S-level top generals, and the ordinary super-first-class generals have broken through the three-digit mark, showing a crushing advantage in terms of generals!
As soon as the battle began, the defenders of Dragon City were at a disadvantage.
The 20,000 Pingzhou army completely ignored the Xianbei militia blocking the way, and under the leadership of Dian Wei and Liu Meng, they went straight into the middle army of Longcheng, and easily tore through the defense line of the Longcheng army like a hot knife cutting cream, until they encountered the temple legion, and slowed down slightly.
Immediately afterwards, 10,000 troops on the left and right flanks attacked under the leadership of Tai Shici and Zhao Yun respectively, outflanking and attacking the enemy's flank. For a time, the Xianbei army was defeated and retreated, and there was a possibility of rout at any time.
The high priest panicked at this time, in the final analysis, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou army. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly ordered the defenders of Dragon City to retreat to the City Lord's Mansion.
The royal city-level city lord's mansion has a vast area and complete defense facilities, and it can be said to be a fortress at all. The High Priest's original plan was to hold the City Lord's Mansion and wait for the Xianbei clan army to come to support after receiving the Heavenly Wolf's summoning order. It's a pity that he didn't recognize the difference in the combat power of the two armies, and he gave the wrong order under greed, causing the entire elite defenders of Dragon City to fall into a desperate situation.
At this time, it was too late to think of retreating. Shang Ji had also expected this scene a long time ago, and the Flying Phoenix Fire Horse, which had been hovering at a high altitude and waiting for help, swooped down and washed the ground with bursting flying feather arrows to prevent the Dragon City Army from retreating. At the same time, Guo Biao also led 10,000 troops to detour to the rear of the battlefield to block the Longcheng army that tried to retreat.
In the face of a desperate situation, the high priest also revealed his determination as the supreme ruler of shamanism, his expression turned cold, and he shouted, "All high-level sacrifices, jointly perform the Praise of Life!" The 6th and 7,000th teams of the Templar Legion use the Demon Demon Pill, and all seriously injured soldiers who have the Blood Demon Pill immediately use the Blood Demon Pill. Spring Sacrifice, summon the Xianbei Holy Beast with me! ”
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, and the spring priest was the first to react, stepping forward and standing behind the high priest, supporting his decision with actions.
Although a small number of the remaining high-level priests looked hesitant, they all stood together in the end, and jointly performed the life salute under the auspices of an old high-ranking priest.
As for the Templar Legion, it was much simpler, and after receiving the order, there was almost no hesitation, and they all took the magic pill according to the order of the high priest. The Templars were the most fanatical believers, and each of them was determined to die for shamanism at such a critical juncture.
The most efficient are the Izumi priest and the high priest, and seriously the two are not summoned, but authorized. There is a protective sacred beast in the Dragon City, whose status is similar to that of the Vermilion Bird in Pingzhou.
In a pinch, it can be summoned to defend against enemies, but it is usually summoned by the Xianbei Alliance. However, there is no official Xianbei Alliance yet, and the high priest and the two main priests of the Spring Sacrifice can also be summoned if they join forces.
"Whew!!"
With a wolf howl that resounded through the heavens and the earth, a golden giant wolf with a sturdy physique and a height of three feet appeared in front of everyone.
The giant wolf first let out a long snort, and then shifted his gaze to Pingzhou Jun, a cruel smile appeared in his golden eyes.
"Suzaku Summons!"
Seeing this, Shang Ji almost didn't hesitate, and directly waved his hand and launched the Suzaku summon again. This time, Xiaohong did not interfere and immediately approved the application.
The red clouds brewed in the sky, and the golden giant wolf first looked at the sky with some confusion, and then his expression began to panic. The wolf head subconsciously looked around, as if planning an escape route.
Vermilion Bird Phantom Reality, a pair of phoenix eyes immediately stared at the giant wolf, and there was no need for Shang Ji to give an order, a slightly excited chirp, his wings shook, and he swooped down directly.
Seeing this, the giant wolf immediately gave up his dignity as a guardian holy beast, turned around and fled. However, Suzaku obviously won't give him this chance.
With a soft roar, a fireball emerged, and exploded on the golden wolf's escape route in a daze. The giant wolf's footsteps paused slightly, and Suzaku's claws directly grabbed the giant wolf.
Spreading its wings again, the giant wolf was directly carried into the air, flying to a distance of about twenty zhang, and as soon as the claws of the Vermilion Bird were released, the giant wolf howled, and fell rapidly from the air.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the place where the giant wolf fell happened to be the Xianbei Sacrifice Group!
At this time, the Xianbei Sacrifice Group was joining forces to perform the Praise of Life under the leadership of a high-level priest, and a giant monster three feet high and five feet long smashed down from a height of twenty zhang, and the consequences can be imagined!
The sacrifice who reacted in time desperately cast a spell to counterattack, forcibly cast a spell in the middle section, and dodged to the side. The sacrifice who did not react in time was stunned and was hit by the giant wolf and directly became meat residue.
The sacrifice that escaped in time was not comfortable, the higher the level of the spell, the more serious the consequences, and the sacrifices who were lucky enough to escape vomited blood, their faces were pale, and many people fainted directly. It is not uncommon for bad luck to have a serious backlash effect and die of direct serious injuries.
Seeing the good deeds he had done, Suzaku let out a long cry of excitement, and when the giant wolf had not yet woken up from the situation of falling from a high altitude, he swooped out again, grabbed and flew into the sky, and repeated the above steps.
The target of this attack was the elite Xianbei guards who guarded the High Priest and the Izumi Sacrifice.
"Spread out, spread out! The whole army immediately dispersed and broke through and evacuated Longcheng!! ”
At the last moment, the Spring Sacrifice no longer cared about the consequences and consequences, roared loudly, and ordered the Longcheng army to break through. As for the high priest, since the appearance of the Suzaku Phantom, his eyes were hollow, as if his whole person had aged a lot in an instant.
If it weren't for the guards pulling him at a critical moment, it is estimated that he would have been directly crushed by the giant wolf.
After playing back and forth a few times, the giant wolf had already been smashed unconscious, Suzaku was suddenly disappointed, and a mouthful of phoenix flame sprayed directly on the giant wolf, and the giant wolf turned into a little star and dissipated in the air.
The defenders of Dragon City have collapsed!
