Chapter 738: Serial Array

Zhao Yan fulfilled his promise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The 1st Division held out the most difficult half an hour, and the price paid was that in the end, less than 2,000 men of the entire division were successfully evacuated, and the remaining 10,000 or so best soldiers were all killed on the spot.

The division commander Zhao Yan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and was escorted from the battlefield by the personal guards at the risk of death, and luckily picked up a life.

With the withdrawal of the 1st Division, the first line of defense of the camp was officially broken. The price paid by the Allies for this was more than 40,000 soldiers.

The wooden walls were littered with corpses, making it difficult to pass, and the plasma directly stained the wooden walls bright red.

Taking down the wooden wall, the Allied commander breathed a sigh of relief.

According to common sense, the fall of the wooden wall of a camp basically loses its defensive ability. In the following hand-to-hand combat, the Allies had an absolute superiority in strength.

The Allied commander was confident that the camp would be captured in one day.

Who would have thought that the scene would be like this when you crossed the wooden wall.

I saw that about 100 meters away from the first wooden wall, a second wooden wall was erected.

In the open space between the two walls, a trench of one meter and five deep was dug every five meters. There is a longitudinal passage between the trenches and the trenches, which forms a complete defense system for the entire trenches.

Fortifications such as horse rejection and arrow towers are dotted like stars, and the position of each key node is a three-bowed eight-ox bed bed crossbow or trebuchet.

Even more terrifying, thousands of crossbowmen hid in the trenches.

This was the second line of defense of the camp, which was jointly defended by the 2nd Division of the 3rd Army Corps and the 3rd Division.

Due to the limited time for the construction of the camp, the camp designed by Fan Lihua is not a conventional boxy, but forms a long and narrow strip along the east-west direction.

The entire camp basically blocked the way of the Allies to the south.

The Allies broke through the encirclement, and they couldn't make a detour, and they had to completely uproot the camp before they could pass through.

For this reason, Fan Lihua only arranged a large number of troops in the front, and at the same time arranged the Fifth Division to cover the two wings. The 4th Division was responsible for guarding the second wooden wall and the last line of defense of the camp.

On the back of the camp, it was not even time to erect a complete wooden wall.

In this way, it can be said that the resources are utilized to the extreme and the allocation of troops is optimized.

The three lines of defense are interlocking and progressive, forming a huge chain array.

One of the reasons why a famous general is a famous general is here. They are proficient in marching and settlement, logistical calculations, and camping.

Of course, the scientific establishment of the army of Shanhai City also played a great role. It is precisely because each division and regiment is equipped with a special engineering unit that such a camp can be built so quickly.

For the Allies, this was a big problem.

"General, what should I do?" The adjutant asked.

The Allied commander said in a deep voice with a dark face: "What else can I do? Storm it! ”

After a short break, the Allies launched a second wave of offensives.

From the very beginning, the attack was extremely difficult.

The vast army crossed the wooden wall and entered the clearing, where they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the sword and shield soldiers guarding here. At the same time, you will also have to endure surprise attacks from trench crossbowmen.

Crossbowmen, with the help of the cover of the trenches, are simply ruthless harvesters of human flesh. Become a marksman one by one and shoot accurately at the enemy on the frontal battlefield.

From time to time, there are also arrow towers and bed crossbows for cover.

As a result, the advance of the Allies was extremely difficult. Almost every trench was built with human lives. What is even more speechless is that sometimes it is difficult to take a trench, and in the blink of an eye, it is recaptured by the enemy.

At the most, the two armies tug-of-war around the trench four times.

On the second wooden wall, Fan Lihua is condescending, flexibly mobilizing the army according to the rhythm of the battlefield from time to time, and commanding the crossbowmen in the trenches to concentrate fire from time to time to annihilate the hardest bones.

The secret of Fan Lihua's command is on the five colored flags.

Each trench in the defense area was divided into three sections in advance: eastern, central, and western.

As a result, each zone has a specific zone number.

Through different combinations of flags, Fan Lihua can convey different military orders, and even some of the more complex military orders can be done, such as commanding the crossbowmen in the middle of the second trench to support the western side.

In the trenches, there are special heralds, who can transfer the target of attack in time according to the command of the colored flags.

In this way, the whole conductor is like a wonderful concert. Every note is a weapon to kill; Every melody is a deadly ghost song.

Although the "music" is beautiful, the picture is very cruel.

Under this array, the vast Allied forces became constrained, and they were unable to give full play to their superiority in troops. Nearly 100,000 cavalry troops have directly become decorations, and they have been playing soy sauce.

Until noon, the second line of defense remained rock-solid.

What is terrifying is that more than 20,000 Allied soldiers and soldiers were completely buried here. In just one morning, the 250,000 Allied troops were cut by a full fifth.

More than seventy percent died at the hands of crossbowmen.

According to incomplete statistics, in one morning, the Third Army consumed 150,000 arrows. If it weren't for the perfect logistical support system established by the Shanhai City War Readiness Administration, this alone would have been very difficult.

Without being there, it is simply impossible to imagine the cruelty of war.

Behind the 50,000 fallen soldiers, a whole 50,000 families were carried, and more than 200,000 people were involved. The total population is comparable to two full-population third-level counties.

In the wilderness, it's terrifying.

In just one morning, the war destroyed the dreams of 50,000 families.

…………

White Rock City, above the South City Gate.

"What's going on, there's been no progress at all in the morning?" Lord Ruan Ping recruited the front-line commander, and as soon as he came up, he was scolded with a scolding on his head and face.

In the eyes of Ruan Ping, taking the wooden wall is not a record at all.

"The last general is ashamed!"

The Allied commanders had bitter words and did not dare to refute them.

"Don't be stingy with your troops, press it with all your might, and be sure to break through the enemy camp in the afternoon." Nguyen Binh ordered.

There are some things that Ruan Ping can't say too bluntly, he can't tell the front-line generals, saying that these lords are not stingy with troops at all, and the purpose is not to win, but to destroy the Fan Lihua Army and take revenge on Shanhai City.

If you really want to say it, I am afraid that the front-line troops will immediately bomb the camp.

NPC sergeants are not a bunch of stats, each soldier has their own thoughts and complete experiences. If they know the calculations behind this war, I am afraid that they will not have any fighting spirit at all.

How can a group of armies without fighting spirit defeat the enemy?

"No!"

The Allied commander's voice was grim, as if he sensed something from the strange expressions of the lords, and his heart felt cold, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Looking at the commander's back, Ruan Ping was a little distracted.

It's not that Lord Ruan Ping is aggressive, it's that they know their opponent Shanhai City very well. Especially when the teleportation array was destroyed this time, it was even more intuitive.

Shanhai City acts whimsically, but it is also extremely meticulous.

Once it strikes, it will hardly give the enemy a chance to turn the tables, and will use all forces to consolidate the fruits of victory. Therefore, there was not much time left for the Allies.

Ruan Ping was really worried that if it dragged on any longer, the other legions of Shanhai City would already be in the city. In the face of such an opponent, Ruan Ping no longer dared to report any luck.

"If you can fight a little, just fight a little!"

…………

In the afternoon, the war continued.

With Nguyen Binh's words, the Allied commanders were ruthless and determined to trade their forces for time. For this reason, the commander did not hesitate to arrange a team of overseers and force the soldiers to rush forward.

"Those who dare to retreat will be killed!"

In addition to this, the commander also set a reward: "Whoever is the first to rush to the second wooden wall will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins and promoted to brigade commander." ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

The Allied soldiers, who were still unaware, stepped on the corpses of their comrades one by one with a scream, and charged towards the opposite side. No matter how fierce the rain of arrows is, it can't stop their desire for glory and wealth.

The officers and men of the Third Army clearly felt that the enemy's attack was even more ferocious.

"What a bunch of perverts!"

The division commander of the Second Division was none other than Song Jia's younger brother Song Wu.

Although Song Wu was stunned, he was really a fierce general. Throughout the morning, Song Wu charged at the forefront. During the battle, he was stabbed in the thigh by the enemy, and after a slight bandage, he rushed back.

Others were slightly injured and did not leave the line of fire, but Song Wu was seriously injured and did not leave the battlefield. If it weren't for the player's unique physique support, coupled with Song Wu's deep internal strength, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear it at all.

By the afternoon, it was still the same.

Seeing that the allies suffered so heavy casualties and rushed forward one by one, Song Wu was really a little incomprehensible.

This is the essential difference between the army of the Wilderness Territory and the ancient army.

The army of Shanhai City is all professional soldiers, and the same is true for the elite troops in other territories.

The lords are not fools, and they know that if they do not form a professional army, they will not be on the same level as the armies of other realms.

It is precisely because of this that the war in the wilderness is far more brutal than in ancient times.

Like the Allies, who lost a fifth of their lives and still maintained high morale.

"Damn, it's really desperate!" Song Wu spat out.

The last division commander to say this was none other than Zhao Yan of the First Division. I know that Zhao Yan hasn't woken up yet.

I just don't know what fate the Second Division and the Third Division will face.

The tragic fighting is endless.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and if it was an ordinary person, if they smelled it, they would have to vomit and lie down. Even the soldiers who are still fighting, some of them can't stand such a strong smell.

Of course, there are outliers.

Some fighters with special physiques, under the stimulation of blood qi, instead became murderous, and the blood of their whole bodies boiled, and they gradually lost their minds.

All that remains is the desire to kill.

This big war is entering the most critical moment.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

This was the most intense, the most reckless, and the most morale-boosting wave of the Allied offensive.

Now it will be up to us to see if the Third Army can withstand this wave.

It's a matter of success or failure!
