Chapter 1016: Advantages of Native Combat
"The early completion of the formation of the 11th and 12th Army Corps and the early expulsion of the invading army of our own country will be able to support the war on the Western Front at an early date, and the strength of the Nannuma Prefecture Theater will completely break the status quo of the Zhongwangzhou Theater. Wang Deng persuaded bitterly.
"Young people should be cautious!" Gongsun Jie put on his old qualifications, "The first great family of the kingdom is rebellious, and the second great family has an ambiguous attitude, in the final analysis, this is an internal struggle of our country, who can you guarantee absolute loyalty to the imperial court? If Commander Jiang misuses a rebellious spy, will you bear this responsibility?"
In the places controlled by the rebels, there are people who are loyal to the imperial court, and in the places controlled by the imperial court, there are also people who identify with the rebels.
In fact, in the troubled times, the major families have their own small abacus, and it is very important to control the military power, even if the commanders are not fighting for a division commander for their own family, they may also come forward because of the request of others, and each great family has its common interest group.
Jiang Xi, who was in Yangyuan Prefecture, naturally understood that he would only meet Long Yuan, who was secretly visiting, yesterday, and set up 20 candidates for captain in one go, and today he will supervise 20,000 troops to escort grain and grass south.
Among these captains are people Ding Kui knows, Long Shuang and Dai Le.
Needless to say, Long Yuan forced his grandson into the Eleventh Legion, he was not qualified enough to be the commander of the division, but it was more than enough to be a captain with the strength of a fearless knight.
Dai Le was only a late shield breaker knight, but he served in the Thirteenth Legion, was wounded when crossing the river to attack Cao State, and did not follow the Thirteenth Legion to Zhongwangzhou, and after recovering from his injury, he happened to meet Jiang Xilai to form the Eleventh Legion, and became the captain with his military exploits and prestige among the recruits.
The two belong to the two factions of the children of the powerful and the commoners, and they have their own mountains in the group of middle-level officers, and they usually look at each other unpleasantly.
The 20,000 people did not have a unified command, and each captain had a military order personally given by Jiang Xi, so they were divided into 20 convoys, each of which went its own way and did not belong to each other.
This is Jiang Xi's helpless way, the commander's mansion withdrew his authority to appoint the division commander, so he had to use the power to appoint the captain of the brigade, seize the time to transport a batch of materials to Nannuma Prefecture, and save himself from staying in Yangyuan Prefecture to waste his time.
However, this group of people will not be able to reach Nanqiu County in the short term, and they will not be able to improve the current predicament that Ding Kui is facing.
Ding Kui is not afraid of his own army's attack on the city for the time being, but the magicians of his own country give him a headache, and the total number of magicians from Hengfu City plus the 71st Division is less than a hundred, and now there are more than 400 magicians from his own country gathered outside the port city.
The battle in the north of the city was obviously that Ban Tu used more than a hundred magicians to entangle Ding Kui and Ding Kun, which in disguised form weakened the numerical advantage of the sixth-level combat power of the Shaodian Kingdom.
"Retreat to the city, don't entangle with them!" Ding Kui felt that there was no point in fighting like this, and it was a waste of strength to kill the enemy.
"Stop chasing, there are no ground troops to follow, and we will use the forbidden spell for nothing. "Xia Fan is a little inexplicable, this side is neither a siege nor a defensive barracks, but all the high-end combat forces have been dispatched, and the battle in the north of the city is unclear.
Ban Tu glanced at Lang Chun, and when he came, he only saw Lang Chun and the big archer on the opposite side going head-to-head.
At this time, Lang Chun's anger disappeared a little, knowing that he couldn't hurt General Shi if he continued to fight, there were four master-level masters on the opposite side, and it might be himself who suffered if he was not careful, so he said: "Okay, thank you two masters for helping." ”
The elemental giants dissipated, and the masters of their own country retreated to the barracks.
When it was dark, our troops had fully collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the tunnels dug on three sides had entered the range of a thousand steps of the city wall, and the casualties were negligible due to adequate preparation.
The crossbow has limited damage to targets at a distance of 1,000 paces, and cannot shoot through planks and sandbags to stop the advance of your own army.
"Let me arrange for my men to go out of the city to fight, sooner or later the enemy will be able to advance to the place where the city walls are attacked, and our casualties will be greatly increased. "Dong Ba is not used to defending the city.
"It doesn't matter, it's dragged on for another day, the situation is getting more and more favorable to us, and reinforcements will come in a steady stream. Now it is longer than us or Sancha Town has lasted longer, and there is no need to go out of the city to fight for the time being. Ding Kui received a few messages from Ao Yan and knew more about the situation outside.
There are about 15,000 people in the Red Army and the 71st Division of the Protector Red Army, and the troops defending the city are sufficient, and there are sharp weapons such as strong crossbows, so it is not a problem to defend the city for half a month.
His army was more patient than Ding Kui thought, and did not attack for a night, and continued to dig the tunnel the next morning.
However, the banner was changed in the military camp in the south of the city, and it became the 26th and 27th divisions of the Northern Third Army Corps, and all the original local troops were transferred to the camp in the east of the city.
The plank walls and shafts used for the siege were doubled, and the tunnels were excavated much faster.
Towards noon, the nearest pit to the east of the city was less than five hundred paces away, and several plank walls were discharged from the higher ground facing the wall, and the magician in charge of the lookout saw thousands of archers hiding behind the plank wall.
The siege progressed similarly in the other two directions, with their own armies building archer positions against trebuchet attacks, and the archers using the tunnels to enter the position, completely ignoring the attacks from the city.
The special operations battalion used fire to destroy the wooden wall position, but the number of oil tanks was limited, and the fire was extinguished by its own troops after it did not burn long.
Ding Kui ran to the south of the city to watch the battle, and there were crossbowmen on the other two city walls, not afraid of shooting at his own army, the defenders here were all knights, and they were not protected by fine armor, which made him more worried.
"It's okay, let the enemy toss, I'll stand still, wait for the enemy to climb the wall, and then give them a look. Dong Ba knew what Ding Kui was thinking.
"Isn't this the elite army of our own country? I want to see how they bow down in front of the 71st Division. "Ding Kui came here for another purpose.
After a short break at noon, archers, trebuchets, infantry, and other units worked together to launch a fierce attack on Port City.
The fastest infantry to rush to the city was to the south, and the defenders' counterattack was painless, without using the expected crossbows.
"Master Tan, I'll go with you to entangle those two people. Ding Kui pointed to Hao Dong and the blue-eyed mask in the sky above the enemy camp.
"Let's go!" Tan Shang rushed out with Ding Kui.
Hao Dong and the Blue Eye Mask immediately face the battle, and if they do not attack, the troops who will attack the city will suffer heavy losses.
The four of them fought fiercely in the air, and the fight was inextricable.
Some of their own troops climbed the city wall and began to engage in close combat with the defenders, and only then did they feel the strong combat effectiveness of the 71st Division.
The archers on the twelve wells hurried to attack the defenders who had suddenly appeared on the walls, trying to assist the infantry in gaining a few footholds.
Suddenly, the white light flashed, and a young woman appeared in the sky above the well, and couldn't help but say that a cloud of white light was smashed.
Boom, the white light exploded in the middle of the archers, and a powerful attraction was generated at the center of the explosion, sucking the surrounding air into the light.
Vacuum explosion, fourth-level gas magic.
It turned out that Ao Yan suddenly killed, and Hao Dong and Blue Eye Kamen didn't have time to call for helpers.
The 26th and 27th divisions had magicians sweeping the formation, and they reacted at this time and wanted to step forward to stop Ao Yan, but unexpectedly, a group of magicians flew to the west and took the lead in attacking their own troops on the ground.
The blue-eyed mask hurriedly shot out a magic light bullet, and then scolded: "Ding Kui, what else will you do besides ambush and sneak attack!"
"Is it surprising that someone came to help me? The aggressors must have the consciousness of the aggressors! You are the land of Shaodian under your feet, so you should be on guard against the counterattack of the Shaodian people at any time, and this is just the beginning. Ding Kui knew it.
Ao Yan informed him last night that the magician group organized by Dongxing County would pass through the swamp this morning and come to the south of Port City.
In the morning, he arranged for Ao Yan to pick up the mage group, and then waited for his signal to enter the battlefield.
This is the main reason why Ding Kui had to come to the south of the city to watch the battle.
"Hahaha, my country's magicians can't stand foreign aggression the most, and you're finally here. Tan Shang finally greeted the magicians of Dongxing County.
The backbone of the Dongxing County Magic Guild is stationed in Muddy Water Town all the year round, and their combat power belongs to the first of the counties in Nanmarsh Prefecture, and this time almost all the elites have been transferred to Nanqiu County, with a total of two hundred battle magicians.
They came to Nanqiu County to have more or less inherent relationship with Gongliang, the magic tower of Turbid Water Town is Tian Man, Tian Man and Huan Qiao are brothers, and the first thing the magicians of Dongxing County want to help is, of course, the direction of Hengfu City.
Ao Yan had no trouble dealing with the wells, and the twelve wells were not much different from the papier-mâché in her eyes, that is, twelve intermediate magics were cast. By the time Xia Fan arrived, all the wells in the south of the city had been destroyed.
Bah, another magic light bullet rose into the air, and Xia Fan found that he couldn't control the situation when he came over.
The magicians of Dongxing County were already about to kill the archers position, and the magicians of the 26th and 27th divisions were losing one after another, both in terms of numbers and strength.
"Senior Tan, we also call people!" Ding Kui's confidence increased.
The new two hundred magicians are too important, and Ding Kui is not afraid to concentrate high-end combat power to fight hard.
The key is that the reinforcements of Shaodian Country are not only all the way from Dongxing County, but also the magicians from Tunchang County and Pingfu County also entered the camp of the Eighth Army outside Sancha Town at noon.
Ban Tu and Lang Chun came to the south of the city one after another, Ding Kun and Ao Yu also came over to help, and Shi will stay in the north of the city to fight against the magician regiments of the 21st and 22nd divisions of his army, and the master masters in the south of the city are exactly five against five.
His country was still at a disadvantage, and Yudi had no choice but to transfer all the magicians in the east of the city to the south of the city, and Huan Qiao also transferred with the magicians in the city when he saw this.
The movement in the south of the city is getting bigger and bigger, and it has completely surpassed the battle in the north of the city yesterday, the sixth-level combat power is five against five, and the magician group is four hundred in their own country against three hundred in the Shaodian country.
The ground troops of their own army have retreated to safety, the defenders on the city walls have taken refuge behind cover, and the energy war that breaks out in the sky can tear those involved to shreds at any time, and those who can't fly are better off staying away from this area.
"Let's work hard, defeat them, and we can go to Sancha Town to meet the Eighth Legion, and the days of Jikou spreading wilderness on our territory are numbered!" Ding Kui rushed left and right in the center of the battlefield, and also cheered up his companions from time to time.
