Chapter 692: The Eight Directions City is broken
War clouds loomed.
The sky gradually darkened, and the entire Bafang City was bathed in the fiery red sun, and the dark clouds of the sky were gilded with a layer of gold.
There was a suffocating silence.
Sergei rode on his war horse, looking at the city in the night, he was waiting for the moment when the night was coming, and he swore that he would turn the entire city of Bafang into a sea of fire and avenge the more than 10,000 brothers.
Two hours were approaching, and the time had come for a general attack.
Sergei knew that there were still 50,000 elite cavalry rushing to help from Zhenshui Pass, of course, Sergei thought that he didn't need the support of Zhenshui Pass at all, because what he was dealing with was only a group of rabble.
For Zhao Yuan, Sergei was not convinced, in his opinion, Zhao Yuan was more like being deified by the ignorant people, and he didn't believe that Zhao Yuan was as powerful as the legend.
Sergei firmly believed that it was impossible for Zhao Yuan to change the entire Bafang City in just a few days.
This crusade was a deliberate mobilization of a million armies by the Kingdom of Heaven, and it was by no means a so-called wicked man who could destroy it, believing that as long as he took the sword, any obstacle would be reduced to dust......
Sergei set a timetable for himself to conquer Bafang City by the time the sun set, and he hoped that by the time reinforcements from Zhenshui Pass arrived, the battle for Bafang City had already settled......
Although it took a few days of repair, the main body of the city wall has not been greatly repaired, but it is only blocked with some broken bricks and stones, not a solidified whole.
Unlike Sergei's lightheartedness, Bach had a gloomy face.
The silence of Octagon always made Bach feel uneasy.
There is no vanity under the fame, and Zhao Yuan can make a name for himself in the Great Qin Empire, which is terrifying, and he definitely has a few brushes.
During this time, Bach had come into contact with many troops of the Great Qin Empire, and whenever Zhao Yuan was mentioned, they all had a look of reverence, which made Bach feel an invisible pressure.
Of course, Bach is not worried, because there are still 50,000 elites in Zhenshui Pass, plus Sergei's 30,000 soldiers and horses, against a small Bafang City, it is already invincible, even if Zhao Yuan has three heads and six arms, it can't change this outcome.
Bach's decision to attack the city in two hours was not a hot head, because, from Zhenshui Pass to Bafang City, it took two hours at most, that is to say, when Sergei's army launched the siege, the 50,000 elites of Zhenshui Pass had already rushed to the vicinity of Bafang City.
However, what puzzled Bach was that the crusaders at Zhenshui Pass did not make the slightest movement.
"The time has come, General!" Sergei was eager to try, and his fighting spirit was high.
"Well, attack. ”
Bach glanced up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and finally issued a total order.
Bach is a soldier, he knows very well that soldiers need to be aggressive, if they do not attack at the agreed time, it will seriously affect morale, of course, Bach does not think that there will be any accidents in the 50,000 elites of Zhenshui Pass, after all, in this radius of hundreds of miles, no army of the Great Qin Empire can pose a threat to the army of Zhenshui Pass, through these months of purging, there is not even a small force of resistance.
If it weren't for Zhao Yuan, the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, it would be impossible to fight again.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
......
Under the bloody sun, the cavalry took the lead in the charge, running wildly along the city wall, and round after round of arrow feathers flew into the Bafang City like locusts, covering the sky and the sun.
Under the cover of the cavalry, the infantry began to storm the city.
Bafang City had experienced a tragic offensive and defensive battle, the damage to the city wall was very large, and Sergei's choice was also very large, he chose to charge head-on, because, just next to the gatehouse, there was a huge gap, because of the lack of stones, the gap has not been repaired so far, with some sacks of rubble and stone to build its temporary city wall, the kind of city wall, which can be destroyed with a single charge.
As soon as the infantry enters the city walls and opens the gates, the entire Octagon city will tremble under the iron hooves of the Crusader cavalry.
Sure enough, under the fierce charge of the infantry, there was no decent resistance, the city wall was captured, and under the cover of the overwhelming arrows and feathers of the cavalry, thousands of fierce infantry swarmed into the city of Bafang and rushed to the city gate.
In fact, this was also expected by Sergei, after all, in the city, there was no regular army, but a rabble.
As long as you open the city gate, it will be the world of cavalry!
Syllable!
With a rumbling sound, the huge and heavy gates were opened, and the Crusader Iron Riders poured into the city like a tidal wave, raising their glittering scimitars.
What about people?
After the cavalry who were originally going to kill rushed into Bafang City, they suddenly found that the gate of Bafang City was empty and empty.
Why is this happening?
"Over there!"
Suddenly, just when everyone was stunned, in the distant street, a figure flickered, as if fleeing.
Thousands of crusaders swarmed after them.
In fact, at this time, many crusaders realized that something was wrong, but at this time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, because more and more cavalry poured in from the city gate, and the cavalry in front had to run wildly.
In the battle of a large corps, what is important is to make a big move and break through the momentum.
Now that the city had been broken and the cavalry of the Crusaders had rushed into the gates as if no one was in a no-man's land, victory was already in sight.
Nothing is absolute, though.
When the galloping cavalry rushed into the streets, they realized that the real battle had just begun.
In the past few days, Bafang City has not only formed a huge army, but even hundreds of thousands of residents of Bafang City have also been mobilized, and now Bafang City can be said to be all soldiers.
The original streets were completely changed, some buildings were demolished, some streets were blocked, and everywhere there were fortifications built according to the standards of the earth, and in the streets, at intervals, there were either tripping horses or huge beams and stones, these obstacles, slowing down the speed of the cavalry.
Zhao Yuan's tactics caused a delay in the mobility of the cavalry, but the real nightmare was the javelin pitchers, who stood behind a safe high wall under the command of a watchtower in the twilight sun, round after round of throwing guns in the air.
The penetration of a spear is no less than that of a bow and arrow, and even surpasses it.
The Crusader cavalry, which had no speed advantage, fell in a row like cutting wheat, while the cavalry behind them were still charging one after another, like a surging wave......
......
Zhao Yuan's tactics are also full of loopholes, because the pitcher is extremely physically demanding and should not last long, but the abundant manpower makes up for the lack in this regard, because there is not much in Bafang City now, that is, there are many people.
It is conceivable that as long as hundreds of ordinary refugees give them thousands of throwing guns to wait in a hidden position and obey the command of the lookout, then their destructive power is absolutely terrifying, after all, in this city full of debris, the advantage of cavalry has disappeared and has become a live target.
Of course, this method can only be used by Zhao Yuan, if the army of the Great Qin Empire is replaced, it will be ineffective, because, the crusaders have the terrifying Black-winged Kunpeng, and under the hunting of the Black-winged Kunpeng, the lookout under the command has no possibility of survival, and now, because of the Yunhai Golden Eagle and the Anti-Sky Monkey, the role of the lookout has been played.
In Bafang City, there are at least dozens of lookouts, and the soldiers of these lookouts have been trained to master some simple gestures to direct the pitcher's battle, and they are the eyes of the pitcher behind the building......
......
More and more crusaders poured into the city gates, charging in all directions like a tidal wave, but they fell like a drop of water into the ocean, unable to splash the slightest wave.
The entire Bafang City became a huge slaughterhouse.
Every street, every building, became a killing place.
In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't have tactics, he just cut hundreds of thousands of people into countless independent units, and the failure of any unit meant death, because this was a lonely city, a city with hundreds of thousands of refugees, in the face of this situation, it was impossible to form a large army to fight, and the only way to win was to turn the entire Bafang City into a huge millstone, and use the advantage in numbers to trap the enemy in the streets and alleys.
When the war broke out, the refugees in those independent units realized that they had no way back, even if they wanted to escape, there was no way to escape, and they had no choice but to fight and survive in the dead.
The fighting was no less tragic than the fighting between the regular armies.
The casualties of the refugees are horrific, after all, they have only been training for a few days, and the vast majority of them are killing people for the first time.
The destruction of any single unit is a mass massacre.
The Crusaders were brave and skillful, and once they stormed the fortifications of the refugee army, they became a nightmare for the refugees, and the iron hooves of the horses, the sharp scimitars, and the tough leather armor turned the Crusader cavalry into a mobile fortress of slaughter.
Often, a single crusader cavalry rushing into an army of 100 refugees would cause unimaginable casualties, and the panicked refugees would run in all directions in fear of death, and as a result, they would affect the brave refugees and become lambs to the slaughter......
