Text: The Great Power Struggle_Chapter 202 Defense
Yun Qi led 200,000 men and horses, and was responsible for capturing the remaining unoccupied cities around the city of Bilk. Yue Fei led the remaining more than one million soldiers and continued to attack westward.
There weren't too many garrisons left to the west, and the two battles in Tachi and the Uzi Mountains, where several players suffered very heavy losses. Now, there is no way to resist the army of more than one million led by Yue Fei.
Xiao Chen was idle, and he didn't follow Yue Fei anymore. Instead, he hooked up with Yun Qi and stayed in Bilk City honestly. Fortunately, although Yue Fei hated Xiao Chen's nature of delaying things, he didn't let Xiao Chen follow. But he still had a little conscience and left Yue Yun behind.
In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Chen and Brother Yue Yun sat in the big tent. In front of him was a small table with a whole number of small drinks and dishes.
"Xiaoyun, your father is really unkind, he didn't take me to the war!" Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and said to Yue Yun drunk.
Yue Yun pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Brother, that's my father, I won't say anything more." However, you are indeed a good king. ”
Xiao Chen stared at Yue Fei with a pair of big eyes. Nima, the king of labor and management should be the same, day. Every day, I either wander around or stay with my daughter-in-law. The matter of government affairs, it seems that he has not been dealt with at all, don't you see that Xun Yu is so tired that he can't even straighten his waist.
"Yue Yun, your father, he won't let me go to war, this king understands. I know what it's like to go out with the army, but it's boring to stay in the city. After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he took a bite of the dish and sighed and chewed.
Yue Yun smiled helplessly, there are really few people who can guess this king's thoughts. I don't know what he thinks, do you say it's uncomfortable to stay in Donglin City? If you have to run to the front line, you will not be able to go to war.
Yue Fei still remembered what his father said to him when he left, and he was moved to cry when he thought of it. Son, the safety of the king and the future of the Beichen Kingdom all depend on you. As long as you pull the king to play well, don't come to the front line, I will give you the first credit for this battle.
Thinking of his father's affectionate affection at that time, Yue Fei wanted to cry, really wanted to cry.
"Huh? Xiao Yunzi, what's the matter, why did the cat pee come out? Xiao Chen looked at Yue Yun with tears in his eyes and asked suspiciously.
Who is Yue Yun, he is the righteous brother of our daughter-in-law, who dares to touch him. Don't look at the man who drank too much today, but, the one who moved Yue Yun, the laborers and the capital, with a million troops, cut him 999 streets.
"Brother, I'm excited, I'm really excited to be able to drink with my brother!" Yue Yun said while wiping his tears.
"Alas, this kid is too young to control his emotions."
Yue Yun: "......"
Just as the two of them were drinking, Zhang Han was writing in the north of Bilk City. This morning, the 800,000 troops supported by the United Army in the south have withdrawn, and Zhang Han wants to ask his own king whether to pursue and contain the enemy, or to destroy the enemy.
After writing the letter, Zhang Han called a guard and asked the guard to personally send it to the rear of Birk City and hand it over to his own king.
At this time, Yue Fei was leading an army of one million, and he was still on the march to the west. More than a million people and horses, the yellow dust rolling along the way was a trivial matter, and the smoke and dust almost buried the entire army. This military operation can be said to be the biggest action of Beichen Kingdom. Almost all the soldiers and horses in the country were transferred to the western front, and in many places there were no garrisons on the second line.
Facts have proved that the record of the Beichen Army is still very strong. In the more than a month of the expedition of the army, a county was destroyed. Although there were not many troops under Hatton, all of his troops were wiped out by the Beichen Army, and it was only a matter of priority. Besides, didn't you annihilate more than 400,000 horses and horses who came to support? Generally speaking, there are not a few enemies facing the Beichen Army, and there are more than 700,000 people in total.
The 1.5 million troops that originally went out on the expedition are now 120,000 dead on the battlefield. More than 100,000 injuries were all thrown into Birk City, which was the rear of the Beichen Army, and it was relatively safe.
The movement of so many troops was discovered by the monarchs of all the nations and cities to the west. Those who are weak are naturally frightened and do not dare to send troops out of the city at will. The stronger ones are the ones who have been part of the Combine before, but they are even more afraid.
The million-strong army of the Beichen Army came over, and this is to take revenge. The most important thing is that they came from the east, that is to say, the 400,000 horses that went to support the city of Birk, have all perished, which is terrifying.
Since the battle under Tachi, all the monarchs in the coalition army have suffered heavy casualties. It's not just Hatton who lost half of his men, but several of them. There are even some people who have almost all the troops sent by their subordinates.
But now the big guys are all the same, and there aren't many troops under his command that can be drawn out. Even the monarch who had suffered few casualties under Tachi City before couldn't be mobilized at all, and almost all of those who could be mobilized went to support Birk City. As a result, it was good now, and the Beichen army still killed it.
The city of Birk was destroyed, and not a single one of the 400,000 elite troops returned. There are fewer and more rubbish troops guarding their hometowns, except for some second-line garrison troops, there are not many soldiers who have experienced the battle formation.
How to fight in this situation, how to fight. An army of a million is coming, and no one can resist it. Although the joint fire, the Beichen Army's one million people is nothing. A few soldiers on his side gathered, not to mention that he could gather another million troops, but he was not too elite.
However, at this time, who dares to transfer their own domestic troops? The elite army suffered heavy losses, and the second-line troops who remained in their hometown were only a dozen or two hundred thousand. Those troops are stationed at home, and they are still a little worried. After all, it's not too peaceful around every player, and many guys are waiting for this opportunity.
As long as the garrison on his side is withdrawn, the house will definitely be attacked. However, what about the one million Beichen Army. That's a million, relying on their own hundreds of thousands of garbage soldiers, to be able to block the Beichen Army, that's a miracle of miracles.
But things are back to square one, let's transfer troops, worry about home. If you don't transfer troops, you can't carry it in front, and you won't be able to run away sooner or later.
So, because of this problem, more than a dozen players scolded in the city lord's mansion in a small city. Some people do not agree with continuing to transfer troops to resist the Beichen army, and some agree, the two groups have different opinions, so they naturally want to scold.
Players who don't approve of continuing to gather troops will not be foolish enough to say that they don't want to waste their troops to rescue others. said that every player would be used as the line of defense to block the Beichen Army layer by layer. At the same time, it is also necessary to mobilize the common people to engage in guerrilla warfare. In this way, the pace of the Beichen Army's advance will certainly be greatly slowed down.
As long as it lasts for two or three months, each of us can have tens of thousands more soldiers and horses in their hands. Suddenly, a few people can gather troops and horses to make up 1.5 million troops. It's half more than the Beichen Army, although it can't be said that it can be won. But consuming the following Beichen Army's troops and resources is a good thing.
At the end of the day, though, many people still don't want to send their own soldiers into battle. Go to the front. After all, there are not enough doctors who occupy a lifetime, and soldiers are not elite soldiers. It is not a simple matter to defeat the cities of other countries. But Xiao Chen led people to attack the city, and there were usually a lot of siege weapons. In this way, during the siege battle, the Beichen army has not suffered very many casualties.
Players who don't agree to assemble soldiers and horses are all spitting stars flying around, and there is only one reason. The Beichen Army's million-strong army is coming, who can not resist it. Therefore, it is better to gather a large army together, and defend the city to have a geographical advantage. It's just that everyone's nest is a bit at risk, and if you can't stop the Beichen Army, no one can escape.
After a long conversation, a group of people finally settled on a strategy. Everyone, speaking of all the troops, has been transferred to half. If you don't live in the Beichen Army, no one will survive.
Each of your troops threw out half of the soldiers, but I didn't expect that such a gathering would actually create an army of 800,000. Even if these 800,000 people are not good at fighting, the number is indeed a bit scary. However, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to defend the city.
For a time, the Coalition Army was also a gathering of various units here, and the momentum was huge. Nearly 700,000 Combine troops arrived in a small city to the east, where the Combine would hold back the Beichen Army. For this, you players are still very confident.
Hagenti is not a very large city. A few days ago, the army couldn't all move in. To this day, the walls have been reinforced, and half of the houses in the castle have been demolished and turned into tents next to each other.
More than ten days after his departure, Yue Fei led more than a million Beichen soldiers to the outside of Hagenti City. Along the way, bypassing the territory of several small forces, the army finally saw the enemy's death.
Encamped ten miles outside the city, Yue Fei did not immediately order the army to attack the city. Instead, they set up camp outside the city, intending to give the soldiers a good rest.
After more than ten days of non-stop marching, every soldier of the Beichen Army was tired. The morale of the equal pair has also declined, and with it, the combat effectiveness of the troops is also slowly weakening.
Seriously, no matter how tragic the battle is, the Beichen army is confident that it can win. But in the face of a long march, it is completely a constant suffering. Along the way, you can't fart as much as you used to, and you can't go out of the queue at will and pee on the road.
The most important thing is that you can't go in if you pass through a small village or a small town. If this was the poor discipline of the troops, they would have been killed and robbed a long time ago. But the commander of the Beichen Army is Yue Fei, who is strict and like something, and if he wants to survive, he has to be obedient.
In fact, it's not that Yue Fei doesn't want to solve those small forces on the road, but these little guys are really difficult to deal with, and even Xiao Chen can't think of any good way. If the Beichen Army wants to attack the joint members, it must pass through their door, and if one is moved, then the other small forces will definitely hate the Beichen Army. If you are good, you will bully your transport brigade below, and you will almost be blown up a few chrysanthemums secretly, and if you are worse, you will directly engage in it with the United Army.
So, you can't move them, at least not now. The Beichen Army is not worried about those small forces joining the United Army, because their strength is still not comparable to the Beichen Army. But I was worried that these things would sneak up on the convoy, and the army of one million would starve to death if it lost its logistical supplies.
The next morning, 500,000 elite soldiers of the Beichen Army, lined up in a neat formation, slowly walked out of the camp. Behind him are all kinds of heavy weapons and siege weapons, catapults, nest cars, bed crossbows, siege ladders, and everything.
At the same time, there are two bigger guys, and these two guys are the Beacon Continent's version of the siege cone. Compared to the siege cones of the system, these two siege cones are much larger. Faced with the metamorphosis walls in the game, the system's siege cone is already a little powerless in the face of the heavy iron-clad city gates.
So, Xiao Chen came up with such a thing. Let the group of craftsmen under his hands, according to the shape of the system siege cone, more than twice as large. It is four meters wide, eleven meters long, three meters high, and weighs more than 6,000 catties. The cone is wooden, wrapped in cowhide, the tip of the cone is wrapped in fine iron, and there are baffles on the sides. The baffles on both sides have a cone of 1.8 meters, 13 meters long and 30 centimeters thick. The top is covered with iron sheets, and there is a pusher below, which can accommodate 60 people to push.
According to the strength of the soldiers, there is no problem at all for sixty people to push the big guy of six thousand catties. But in reality, this is not the case, there is no precise cooperation, and the power used by each person is different. Thankfully, even so, the big guy moved.
The infantry army stopped when it reached a distance of 1,000 paces outside the city, and the large array of 500,000 people quickly dispersed. It didn't take long for a phalanx of 500,000 people to appear. Subsequently, the ladder and the nest car that followed behind were also in place.
The wooden wheels of the chariot rumbled, driven by the Beichen sergeants. The cowhide drum also began to sing its own loud singing, and the drums resounded all over the world.
The big guys are twenty meters tall, and although they move very slowly, their huge size is still very impressive. Behind the siege weapons was a phalanx of 10,000 people of the Beichen Army, and the red armor was still so eye-catching. There are many swords, arrows and shields, and the formation is rigorous, and every step is vigorous.
When they reached a distance of five hundred paces, the catapults and bed crossbows in the back row of the Beichen Army stopped. Then, in less than half a minute, the first wave of stone bullets and crossbow arrows flew into the sky.
Boulders rumbled against the walls, splashing countless rubble. The crossbow bolts were nailed to the wall, and the trembling shafts showed the power of the bolts. There were also quite a few stone bullets and crossbow arrows that flew over the walls and flew behind.
The defenders all hid the city wall, and at this time it was the exclusive stage of the Beichen army's catapults, and going up the city wall was purely for death. But that doesn't mean they're safe, and the boulders and crossbows that go over the walls will still be successful.
After about four or five waves of boulders, the Beichen army walked four hundred steps outside the city. At this time, the Catapults of the Combine also began to wield. The first counterattack of the defenders made Yue Fei frown.
It is estimated that the Combine Army has taken out most of its family funds, and looking at the catapults flying through the sky, there must be 2,000 at least. Thousands of boulders quickly flew into the formation of the Beichen Army.
The first to be unlucky was a nest car, and two boulders hit the nest car at the same time in an instant. The huge rocks mercilessly tore the nest car to shreds. None of the dozens of Beichen soldiers inside escaped the catastrophe, and even the 1 Beichen military formation that followed behind the nest car was also impacted.
Countless broken wood chips were splashed, causing a lot of losses to the soldiers behind. After that, many boulders fell in the crowd, and for a while, there were many blank areas in the entire Beichen Army array.
When the number of catapults reaches a certain amount, the lethality is definitely much stronger than that of bows and arrows. Now that the game has been going on for two years, many players have already assembled their own ironclad armies, and their resistance to bows and arrows has increased considerably. On the battlefield of the future, bows and arrows have gradually withdrawn from this stage.
The catapult is different, it doesn't matter if you are iron armor or not, anyway, it will give you a moment, and if you don't die, you have to go home on crutches. Don't talk about people, even if the dinosaurs come, they don't dare to carry it.
Three nest cars were smashed, dozens of siege ladders were destroyed, and more than 2,000 soldiers were lost. This first round of attacks almost made Yue Fei feel distressed to death, it was too big.
After that, the Beichen army only advanced a hundred paces before it was attacked three times. The number of soldiers killed also exceeded 5,000, and the number of siege weapons was lost by 200.
Two thousand catapults, this is no joke. Compared to the 800 catapults of the Beichen Army, it was simply a sea. Eight hundred planes look like a lot, but they can't do any damage to the defenders. The distance of 500 paces is already the maximum range of the catapult, and the catapults of the defending troops are all placed near the city strong, and they can't hit people at all.
Naturally, it is possible to step forward, but the catapults of the defenders can also attack the catapults of the Beichen Army, and the casualties may be even greater at that time. Yue Fei watched another wave of attacks coming, so he could only ruthlessly let the army continue to attack.
This is the first time that the Beichen army has suffered a big loss in the siege war, and it used to rely on people who did not have too many resources to develop catapults and bully others. Not anymore, a member of the Combine doesn't have many heavy weapons such as catapults. But when a dozen or so people come together, it's a bit intimidating.
Alas~ It's not good to fight.
