Chapter 743: Five Wolf Smokes
The cavalry that appeared in the other three directions had already fought fiercely with the lord's troops, and now even the south of Luoyang City, which had not moved, was no longer a pure land.
The lord's troops attacking the defense line of the city wall continued to attack wildly, and the 10,000 hoplites were still motionless, and the loud noise made by the cavalry in the dense forest a few miles behind them did not seem to affect them at all, and the hoplites only tightened their grip on their weapons even more.
The stout masked general leading the army did not speak, and the 10,000 heavy infantry continued to wait, even if they might have been ambushed, even if the cavalry in the dense forest could rush over in a few minutes, it would not affect their puppet-like formation, and even let their eyes be a little more anxious. Only the true elite of a hundred battles can have such a performance and temperament!
"There is indeed an ambush outside the south gate, let me say, there is no reason why there are cavalry in the east, west, and north, but there is no ambush in the south where the heavy troops are pressing." The stout general frowned, and then sneered, "Although the Wuhuan cavalry is brave, after all, it is just a light cavalry that is not good at charging into battle, and vainly trying to attack my hoplite can only be self-inflicted." ”
He decided to wait for the cavalry behind him to rush out of the dense forest, and use the great lethality of the hoplites to deal with this pesky ambush first. No matter which general he is, he doesn't want an enemy army to come and go like the wind on his back, not to mention, the archery skills of the Wuhuan cavalry have always been very powerful, if the Wuhuan cavalry is allowed to calmly shoot in the rear, it will be too annoying.
After a few orders, 3,000 hoplites formed a phalanx of 3,000 infantry far from the city wall, arranged in an inverted "pin" shape, and 6,000 cold eyes were cast on the enemy in the dense forest. The swords and knives in the right hands of the sword and shield bearers slammed into the big shield in their left hand one after another, making a loud "boom" sound, which was their way of demonstrating and fighting against each other. A truly powerful enemy, it is difficult to refuse such a ** naked provocation, and all the heavy infantry is waiting for the cavalry to leave the jungle.
The sound of horses' hooves in the forest became louder, and the dust grew higher, and the position of the hoplites was indistinct three feet below the ground. The noise was loud, but no one came out, which made the heavy infantry in battle formation a little boring.
"Judging by the dust and sand that kicks up. There are a lot of ambushes in the forest, and about 3,000 Wuhuan light cavalry have been dispatched from the other three sides, and the troops in the south will only be more, and the cavalry of the Talan tribe seems to have all been dispatched, where did Feng Xiang hide these cavalry? The stout general meditated, Feng Xiang set a trap in Luoyang and waited for the fish to take the bait. But he didn't take it too seriously
Even if Feng Xiang predicted in advance that Luoyang might be attacked, at most he thought that Bo Gucheng would counterattack with attack as a defensive action, and he would never have guessed that his own army would participate in the battle, as well as those high-grade siege equipment. Otherwise, there would not have been a thousand Wuhuan cavalry from the other three directions to attack the lord's troops, and victory would have been inevitable, and the loss would never be too small - the light cavalry was not suitable for charging into battle.
Opposite. He has a keen grasp of the fighters of the Luoyang guards. There is also a little fear of the commander, whether it is to show the enemy weakness before the battle. Or a suicidal attack by an Inhuman player, or a clean and neat deal with the spies in the city. It's not something that ordinary people can do. It was precisely because of this fear of the commander of Luoyang that he was extremely cautious. Although the large army in the forest behind him had not yet stepped half a step out of the dense forest, it was like a thorn pierced into the flesh. Always let him not dare to take it lightly.
It took too long for the cavalry in the forest to reorganize and assemble, and the time for half a pillar of incense had passed, and the sound of hooves in the forest was still the same. There was still no figure to be seen outside the forest, except for a few hard-working bees, dancing around the wildflowers in the lawn.
"Mr. Lu Zhi is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and he is really experienced in using soldiers, and he does not do unnecessary battles of will."
The stout military general said secretly, he took it for granted that the commander of Luoyang was Lu Zhi, but he didn't know that what was now in front of him was all the calculations of Feng Xiang's two major strategists. The ambush in the forest is like the unsheathed sword at the waist of a peerless swordsman, even if it has not been revealed, but the compelling deterrent power cannot be ignored.
However, the stout generals could roughly deduce from the reaction of the ambush soldiers that the ambush soldiers in the forest did not seem to have any intention of coming out at all. He decided to try again, and the three thousand-man phalanx quickly withdrew two, leaving only one thousand-man phalanx standing alone, still pounding on the shield and fighting.
According to the size and height of the dust area, the stout military general judged that the number of ambushes in the forest would not be less than 3,000 people, and 3,000 people were unwilling to fight, so 1,000 people should lure them out!
However, the enemy in the forest seemed to have no understanding of the enemy's painstaking intentions, and the green mountains remained.
Due to the presence of 10,000 hoplites, the lord's troops attacking the south gate of Luoyang were not disturbed by the Wuhuan cavalry, and they could safely and boldly storm and continue to attack, using simple ladders and Linchong Lu buses to constantly put pressure on the defenders of the city.
If it were several other city walls, I am afraid that they would have been breached long ago, but the defenders on the front line of the south gate were also the most, in addition to the first five hundred maple leaf soldiers, among the five hundred people that Lu Zhi initially took away, there were also four hundred soldiers rushed to the south city - I have to say that Feng Xiang misjudged the number of traitors planted by the hostile forces in Luoyang, and overestimated Bogu's energy and the scale of the traitors, which made Mr. Lu Zhi, who originally planned to hoe the traitors, disappointed. A certain city lord has had an in-depth study of how players can effectively create chaos in the lord town, and Ah Niu originally thought that in addition to tricking the city gate and lowering the rope to help the enemy enter the city, the mole may also create chaos in Luoyang City within the framework allowed by the rules, such as playing with fire and poisoning the well...... The bad ideas in Ah Niu's mind bubbled up one by one.
Nine hundred Maple Leaf soldiers are equivalent to half of Luoyang's troops, and there are thousands of adventure players to fight, this lineup is enough to withstand the attack of the lord's coalition army for half an hour. The maple leaf warriors are actually only supporting roles, and more than a hundred Fengxiang martial artists who are good at hand-to-hand combat are the gold medal fighters on the southern city wall.
Gao Ran hadn't made a move yet, and Mr. Lu Zhi was even more relaxed looking at the battle in the city, and the battle situation in the south city could be imagined.
The stout generals finally sensed that something was wrong!
The lord's troops outside the southern city were suffering from casualties, but they failed to cause too many casualties to the defenders, and the defenders of Luoyang, who were on the defensive, completely controlled the initiative on the battlefield. He even felt that the defenders of Luoyang in the southern city were on the premise of ensuring their own safety. Consciously slowed down the pace of the battle, obviously able to solve the problem with one sword, but showed three or four moves, although there were also many defenders casualties, but most of the casualties came from the adventurer players - due to the intervention of the Fengxiang Martial Artist, the players in Nancheng who couldn't grab much battle merit had to hope for a human bullet offensive.
The defenders of Luoyang are dragging their time!
This thought made the stout generals shudder.
Lu Zhi was indeed waiting. Wait for the lord troops in the east, west and north to be completely wiped out, and then they can concentrate their forces to fight a decisive battle with the 10,000 heavy infantry in the south gate, as for the lord troops outside the south gate, Lu Zhi is not even interested in looking at it!
When the stout generals realized this, the coalition forces of the lords in the remaining three directions had been beaten to pieces by the Wuhuan light cavalry. Zalu also spat indiscriminately in a very unhygienic manner, and hatefully popped out four words from between his teeth to show his dissatisfaction, "Native chicken! ”
At this time, it was pointless to divide the troops to reinforce the lords outside the remaining walls, except for the phalanx of 1,000 people who had cramped their hands by tapping their shields, and the nine thousand hoplites marched briskly.
Lu Zhi and Gao Ran exchanged glances in the city, and the enemy generals were obviously not fuel-efficient lamps. At the critical moment, he brazenly chose to attack. With the strength of these heavy infantry to show xiàn. It was only a matter of time before they could take the southern city defenses, as long as they could take the walls and take the city. Even if all the Wuhuan cavalry dismounted and fought in the streets, it would be difficult to block the attack of the elite heavy infantry!
Another cloud of smoke flew into the air.
This is the second wolf smoke in the south city. Compared with the five wolf smoke on the other three city walls, it was lonely, and the second wolf smoke did not have any special effect after it was lit. The ambush soldiers in the forest still did not move, but the enemy generals were not at all careless. The forward momentum of the entire force has stalled.
Just a stagnant!
The heavy infantry continued to move forward, and the ground trembled with the sound of their uniform footsteps. They were imposing and didn't seem to be affected by the second wolf smoke at all, but Lu Zhi smiled instead. He has been leading his troops to fight for a long time, and he knows the combat mode of the heavy infantry, when the heavy infantry is used in the siege battlefield, the degree should be slow and fast, according to the normal method of warfare, at this time the heavy infantry outside the city should be trotting forward, but now it is still striding forward. Of course, these details can only be seen by people who really know how to do it, and in the eyes of ordinary people, this powerful heavy infantry is like a rainbow and has not been affected in any way.
Five wolf smoke summoned the Wuhuan cavalry to charge into battle;
A wolf smoke appeared in the forest in a majestic ambush;
What do the two wolf smoke represent?
Although there is no abnormality yet, the stout general feels that it should be safe, in the final analysis, he is afraid of the defenders of Luoyang.
The third wolf smoke!
By the time this wolf smoke appeared, the four thousand hoplites had already approached the city walls. The remnant land lords' forces made way for them, and they assembled on both sides, taking up positions to guard the flanks of the heavy infantry, so that even if the Wuhuan cavalry came around to reinforce the southern city, they would be delayed.
At this time, the four lords gathered outside the north gate of Luoyang had already left this sad place, and it was Zalu, the young patriarch of Talan, who personally sent them on the road. They were relieved not to have to watch their troops die.
The fourth wolf smoke!
The Wuhuan cavalry was chasing the last remnants of the lord's army, and the gates of Luoyang were opened on three sides, and a small number of maple leaf warriors and a large number of civilians rushed out and dragged the unguarded siege equipment into the city;
The heavy infantry outside the south gate began to enter the city to engage in battle, as soon as the battle was engaged, the powerful attack power was undoubtedly demonstrated, Gao Ran had already picked up a simple knife to join the battle, and every time he killed a person he would roar.
The stout general stared at the head of the city, he couldn't see the meaning of the second, third, and fourth wolf smokes, maybe he hadn't seen through it yet, maybe it was Lu Zhi who was playing tricks on him, and his palms were already full of sweat.
He's waiting.
He didn't have to wait long before he saw the fifth wolf smoke!
The cavalry in the forest finally rushed out!
