Chapter 322: Ten Cottage Defenses
Chapter 323
The battle that Cheng Dalei had been waiting for finally arrived.
Mo Mingmi gathered his forces and began to attack from the east, without cavalry. In front are shield soldiers, behind are archers, and behind them are siege engines such as trebuchets and siege engines.
The Emperor ** Array and the Rong are different, the Rong are good at cavalry field battles, while the Empire is good at heavy weapons siege. This time, the test Cheng Dalei faced was even more severe than the battle of Qingniu Mountain.
It's just that the difference is that the Rong people have the will to fight endlessly, but the empire does not.
After the other party entered the firing range, Xu Shenji ordered the arrow to be released. Hundreds of heavy crossbows were ready to be fired, and as Xu Shenji's big hand waved down, they were activated at the same time, and the arrows rained down for a while.
The heavy arrows carried a huge momentum, rushing into the battle formation from top to bottom, and the casualties were not counted.
"Cheng Dalei, send someone to kill it. Li Xingzai said.
Cheng Dalei shook his head and didn't say anything. At this moment, even Li Xingzai can see that Toad Island does not have a strong city like Qingniu Mountain, and it will be lost if it is defended for a long time. But the other party does not have the combat effectiveness of the Rong people, and the quality of the soldiers is compared, and the bandits in Toad Village are stronger than the enemy.
In the event of a head-to-head confrontation, send an elite army to rush out and reach the opponent's center. Perhaps, this elite army will become a force that will change the direction of the battle.
Of course, this elite army is also a death squad, and after rushing into the enemy formation, how many are alive and how many will die is something that no one can say.
Looking at Cheng Dalei, who was nervously following the battle situation, Li Xingzai sighed softly. Ci does not lead soldiers, righteousness does not do Jia, Cheng Dalei is in such a state of mind, after all, he is just a thief who occupies the mountain as the king.
Even if he only supposedly held on, Cheng Dalei survived the first wave of siege. With the rain of heavy arrows, the enemy's will to fight was crushed, and he fled for his life in a hurry, and Cheng Dalei ordered Qin Man and others to attack at this moment and began to beat the water dogs.
In the end, after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the enemy chose to temporarily withdraw his troops.
This battle can be said to be thrilling and dangerous. But Cheng Dalei also understands that today is just a mutual test between the two sides, and Mo Mingmi has not used the real guy yet.
Through this battle, Cheng Dalei probably also judged the enemy's individual combat strength, group cooperation, and will to fight...... In general, it can be described in four words: vulnerable.
The key is that the opponent has too many people, with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, which is ten times more than the strength of Toad Village. And this is not all of Qinchuan Pass, there are still more than 5,000 teams left behind in Qinchuan Pass.
In the evening, the toad village was brightly lit, and Cheng Dalei organized people to hold a pre-war meeting. Generally speaking, although the opponent has the advantage of troops, the quality of the individual soldiers of Toad Village is much stronger than that of the other party, and the key is how to minimize casualties on the premise of victory.
Cheng Dalei did the pre-war mobilization again, similar to tomorrow is bright, yesterday was glorious, but today is cruel and so on.
……
In the camp of Qinchuan Pass, there is still an important meeting.
Before the war, Mo Mingmi was in a very happy mood. Today is to completely touch the bottom of the toad village, and the situation is more optimistic than I thought. After removing the natural danger of the river, there are almost no facilities that can be called defense in Toad Village, and in Mo Mingmi's heart, the defense of Toad Village can also be described in four words: vulnerable.
What Cheng Dalei didn't know was that the enemy attacking Toad Village today was just the old, weak, sick and disabled at Qinchuan Pass, and they were cannon fodder who could be sacrificed.
These people have almost no combat effectiveness, and it is a waste of troops to live. Taking advantage of this attack on Toad Village, it is just time to clean up the "garbage", and you can also find out the bottom of Toad Village by the way.
After the meeting, Mo Mingmi left Yan Di alone.
"Military advisor, breaking through the toad village is right now, and when the time comes, you will definitely be able to kill Cheng Dalei, the thief, with your own hands. ”
"Congratulations to the General!" Yan Di immediately gave up, he could get rid of the toad village, and he could actually get rid of the heart disease.
"The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and now I want you to go back to Qinchuan Pass to sit in battle and preside over logistics. ”
"I will live up to the general's trust. ”
"It's time for the leaders of other places to bring them over, and they don't want to be idle and watch the excitement. ”
"General, Yunzhonglong, Qiao He, and You Jiulou, what should the three of them do?"
"Tell them the same news to see if they plan to go all the way to the dark, or if they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”
That night, Yan Di was escorted back to Qinchuan Pass, where he would sit in battle to provide logistical support to Mo Mingmi.
At the same time, the news had already spread, and the eighteen leaders under Mo Mingmi had all received the news, including Yun Zhonglong, Qiao He, and You Jiulou.
"If it is said that Cheng Dangjia is not thin on us, ten percent of the profit can always be divided into one or two percent for each of us, and it is much more generous than Mo Mingmi. ”
Before leaving, the three of them got together to discuss the matter.
"What's the use of being kind, can being kind enough to stop Boss Mo? What are the three of us, it's just a bedbug in Boss Mo's house. Boss Mo doesn't want to deal with us, we can still live, and when Boss Mo wants us to die, he can trample us to death with one foot. ”
"Then what should I do?" Qiao He asked: "Let's really go and fight with Cheng Dangjia, even if Cheng Dangjia will definitely die this time, but we have been with him after all, after the matter has passed, will Mo Lao Hui let us go?"
The three of them sighed for a long time, and they didn't know how to make a choice for a while. In the end, Qiao He and You Jiulou's eyes both looked at the dragon in the clouds.
"Boss Long, you have an idea, we'll listen to you this time. ”
Yun Zhonglong thought for a while, and suddenly slapped the table: "Let's go, let's go to work and don't make any efforts, let's get through this matter first." ”
Qiao He and You Jiulou sighed, what Yun Zhonglong thought was naturally not the best way, but it was the only way at present.
Eighteen chieftains were assembled in three days, and large and small forces camped on both sides of the river. Cheng Dalei watched this happen, but he couldn't do anything.
Mo Mingmi's original strength, plus the strength of the eighteen family leaders, has exceeded 20,000 troops.
Three days later, Mo Mingmi launched another siege operation. At this moment, in his eyes, Cheng Dalei is already in the bag and can be broken at any time, and the reason why he has not been broken is because he is reluctant to pay too much price.
The toad village can be broken, but a difficult bone to gnaw, if you want to completely defeat the enemy, you must lose a lot of manpower. Mo Mingmi was reluctant to sacrifice his elite, so he let the people of the eighteen family leaders die.
It is also a good opportunity to weaken their strength, so as not to have someone under them sit big.
And the leaders of the eighteen families were even more reluctant to send their own people to death, so they fought if they could, and withdrew if they couldn't, and under such circumstances, the battle lasted for more than half a month.
Cheng Dalei relied on the heavy crossbow in his hand, and without increasing his troops, he really survived.
At dusk that day, after another battle, the river was covered with corpses, and red blood was frozen on the crystal ice.
Congratulations on completing ten copycat defenses......
