Chapter 470: Fighting
At this time, Cao Wenzhao arrived. lā.
Xia Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately told Cao Wenzhao about the situation at the scene, and then asked him what to do.
Very sophisticated to throw the problem to Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao immediately made a decision and asked for cavalry from the west gate to reinforce the south gate!
Either create an opportunity for the brothers to retreat into the city! Or fight them to the end under the city to see who can survive to the end! Could it be that the people of the Demon Sect are three-headed and six-armed, and they are invulnerable?
Soon, the south gate was wide open. Because the south gate also has a moat, it is not a big problem to hold the meeting gate.
Five hundred Guanning iron cavalry burst out, and the reason why only five hundred were sent was because the space under the south gate was too small, and the cavalry could not be used at all.
Cao Wenzhao personally sat at the head of the city and commanded the army to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect that crossed the river. At the head of the city, the Franco's cannons, birds' guns, bows and arrows continued to exert their might, and frantically poured ammunition and arrows at the Demon Cult that was crossing the bridge and preparing to cross the bridge.
The Demon Sect continues to fight, and there is a great power to vow not to give up if it does not take the South Gate. In order to speed things up, they even tried to quietly cross the river from the west, north, and east gates, and then they all concentrated at the south gate.
However, the officers and troops on these three sides were also extremely well defended, and once they discovered the Demon Cult, they immediately rained down projectiles and arrows. The Demon Sect tried several times, and found that it was not cost-effective to cross the river from other gates, because even if you crossed the river, you would run along the city wall to the south gate, and you would be frantically shot by the Ming army at the head of the city along the way, and you would not be able to run to the south gate at all.
The Demon Sect didn't know that the soldiers at the head of the city were all soldiers of the Guanning Army, the Datong Army, the Changping Army, and the Xuanfu Army, these soldiers had been in battle for a long time, and they were the strongest soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, plus they had plenty of ammunition and arrows, of course, it was not so easy for them to break through!
So the focus of the battlefield returned to the South Gate again.
The two sides fought to the death around the south gate!
Under the miserable white flares, the surface of the moat next to the south gate was already blood-colored, and the corpses of a large number of demon cultists were floating in the river.
Under the city walls, there were more corpses, but most of these corpses were Ming soldiers. Now the number of Demon Sect soldiers who have crossed the river has reached three or four thousand, and in the case of pure short-handed combat, the officers and soldiers are not their opponents at all!
Five hundred Guan Ning iron cavalry arrived, and after a burst of killing, they really saved a little bit of the situation for the officers and soldiers. Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao immediately sent another 1,000 infantry reinforcements.
It's like adding firewood to boil water, he keeps adding troops to the city, and he doesn't believe that the Demon Sect will not retreat!
Why did he do this? Because he couldn't abandon these soldiers who had already left the city! Now Lanzhou City lacks nothing, and the most important thing is to maintain the morale of the officers and soldiers! If these brothers outside the city are abandoned and the city is closed and defended, the morale inside the city will suffer a fatal blow, and once the morale is lost, then no amount of grain, grass, and weapons will be useless! Has the Ming Dynasty suffered this kind of loss over the years?
That's why he let the most capable Guanning Army, Xuanfu Army, Datong Army, and Changping Army first engage the enemy, the purpose is to beat the morale out at the beginning!
Cao Wenzhao swore not to give an inch, and the Demon Sect did not achieve its goal, and vowed not to give up! The two sides continued to increase their troops and increase their weight, and it was up to them to see who would collapse first!
Fierce battle!
All night!
The horizon gradually revealed the white of the fish belly!
Under the South Gate, it finally gradually quieted down!
In the open space 500 meters long and 80 meters wide, layer after layer of corpses was densely covered, and it was almost impossible to find a piece of ground to put your feet on!
Among them, most of them are officers and soldiers.
In the moat, there were countless corpses floating, mostly demon cultists, and the layers of corpses almost blocked the river.
In one night, the officers and troops lost more than 13,000 people, and the Demon Sect lost more than 8,000 people. Judging from the ratio of casualties, it is much better than in ambush warfare, which is naturally due to the fact that the officers and soldiers occupy the advantage of terrain and weapons.
Dawn means that the front sights of the official army's cannons, bows and arrows, and bird guns are more accurate, which is extremely unfavorable to the Demon Sect, so the Demon Sect chose to retreat.
The first siege of the Demon Cult was held!
The officers and soldiers in Lanzhou City breathed a sigh of relief, but no one could completely put their minds at ease.
Under the conditions of a moat, cannons, bows, and guns, the battle losses of the officers and soldiers were still much higher than those of the Demon Sect, which made everyone feel uneasy.
Although there were plenty of supplies in Lanzhou City, they fought all night, and they could only use dense firepower nets to prevent the people of the Demon Sect from crossing the river when their vision was not good, so they knocked out more than a quarter of the gunpowder inventory and one-third of the bow and arrow inventory at once!
If the Demon Sect attacked the city like this night and night, the ammunition reserves of the officers and soldiers could last for three days at most! After three days, how should this battle be fought?
Cao Wenzhao panicked when he thought of it.
Under the city, Ming officers and soldiers were methodically cleaning up the battlefield. Not only did they drag the brothers of their own family who died in battle to the city and bury them, but they also dragged away the people of the Demon Cult. Now that the weather is slowly getting hotter, it would be nice if there was a plague.
In addition, they collected all the arrows they could collect, and many of these arrows could be used if they were sharpened.
Demon Cult Camp.
In one tent, the five banner masters of the Five Elements Banner of the Demon Sect, three of the five scattered people, and Purple Elder Chu Yun were all there, which could be described as an elite gathering.
On the top of the first seat, there was an old man about sixty years old. The old man was dressed in a white robe, his hair was gray, and his eyebrows exuded a compelling aura. Wherever his gaze drifted, it was cold.
The left protector of the Demon Sect, Zhao Wuxian who is known as the "Ghost King" in the rivers and lakes. Yan Wuyue is known as the "Demon Saint", while Zhao Wuxian is called the "Ghost King", which is enough to show his status in the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect is under the head of the sect, Yan Wuyue, and is respected as the protector of the left and right. Among the left and right protectors, the left protectors are the longest. Therefore, Zhao Wuxian was the second only existence in the Demon Sect to the sect master.
Zhao Wuxian coldly swept through the crowd, and then said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter, a Lanzhou city stopped you?"
Everyone was silent.
Even Chu Yun was silent.
Zhao Wuxian snorted coldly, and said, "The sect leader has already arrived in Xiningwei, and he will come to Lanzhou in the near future." At that time, if we haven't taken Lanzhou City yet, this Dharma Protector really can't raise his head to see him. ”
The look on everyone's faces was even more unsightly. Only Chu Yun seemed to be in a fugue. She caressed the wound on her left shoulder, as if she was now more concerned about whether her jade muscle would scar. She has always loved beauty as her life, and she has been worried about this problem since she was injured last night. Fortunately, the Demon Sect Divine Doctor A Yi C personally helped her wrap the wound and used a panacea, assuring her that she was eighty percent sure that there would be no scars.
But with only eighty percent certainty, Chu Yun was not satisfied.
Seeing Chu Yun's absent-minded appearance, Zhao Wuxian said to her, "Elder Zi, do you have a good plan?"
Chu Yun came back to his senses and said disdainfully, "If you fight again, what good plan do you want?" Elder Jin will also rush to Lanzhou tomorrow night, will Protector Zhao be willing to go to Lanzhou City with me and Elder Jin?"
