Chapter 333

On the top of the city, Zhao Sihu looked at the advancing grassland army with a resolute expression.

Under Daiqin's instructions, the section of the moat chosen by Haricagai and Hulagen intentionally deviated from the Friendship City. Dai Qin's intention is very obvious, that is, he wants to bypass the inner city of Friendship City and directly break through to the interior of Shanhai City.

Dai Qin's small thoughts have long been thoroughly figured out by Bai Qi.

On the only north city wall that was built, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were densely arranged. The City Guards Division is directly under the Shenji Battalion, which is arranged in the middle of the north city wall; the Archer Brigade and Crossbowmen Brigade of the City Guards Division are located in the eastern section of the North City Wall; the Archer Brigade and Crossbowmen Brigade of the First Division, It is arranged in the west section of the north city wall.

On the east and west sides, carrying sandbags, the menacing prairie army was attacked by overwhelming arrow rain before they approached the moat.

The dense rain of arrows made it difficult for the grassland army to move forward.

Every step forward will cost hundreds of soldiers casualties.

On the west road, Hari Chagai's face was livid, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The enemy is in front of him, so he can't be allowed to think too much. He has already issued a military order in front of the general, and he must not back down. Otherwise, the face of the entire tribe will be lost.

Thinking of this, Harichagai took the lead, picked up a sandbag and held it above his head, and took the lead in rushing forward. While rushing, he shouted loudly: "Buhegaha!"

Harichagai's move really worked.

The soldiers imitated the general's practice, held the sandbags above their heads, and rushed forward under the rain of arrows.

"Buhegaha!"

The arrow hit the sandbag, and after a buffer, it did not pose much threat to the soldiers. It was simply a natural barrier, more effective than a shield.

For a moment, the West Road army advanced rapidly, and soon approached the moat.

Their goal is to fill in a short section of the moat to create conditions for the passage of the army.

On the city wall, Jiang Kai, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division, the Brigade Commander of the Brigade of Archers, saw the enemy adopting such an unsophisticated method, and smiled coldly: "I want to see how you go back!"

Sure enough, the prairie soldiers threw the sandbags into the moat. While completing the task, they lost their cover and faced the threat of arrow rain.

All of a sudden, mourning was everywhere.

What's more painful is that the lucky ones who escaped from death have to carry a second sandbag to continue the great project of "filling the river".

Thanks to the strong nerves of the soldiers, as an ordinary person, I really didn't have the courage to make a second trip.

Harichagai was the chief general, and when he returned, his personal guards held up the shield for him, but he was safe and sound.

It's a pity that shields are not standard equipment for the prairie army, and ordinary soldiers don't have such equipment.

In just 300 meters, it became an insurmountable death penalty area, and people were killed every moment. The five thousand army is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Harichagai's face turned black, and he was no longer as energetic as before. He vaguely felt that he seemed to be cheated, and he was cheated very badly.

The 5,000 army is more than 90% of the army of the Tianying tribe. If they are all on the battlefield, even if the war is won, the Skyhawk tribe will be swallowed up by the surrounding neighbors.

Thinking of this, Harichagai shuddered.

"Go, report to the commander, just say that the enemy's firepower is too strong, and ask for reinforcements!" Harichagai was not too stupid, and immediately thought of asking for help from the headquarters.

Since there are going to be casualties, let's bring other tribes along!

"Yes!" The guard turned around and ran away.

Union Command.

The headquarters has already set up a high platform. From the high platform, the battlefield in the distance can be seen at a glance.

On the high platform, Dai Qin stood in the middle, with Lakshin and five other generals on the left and right.

The five generals looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield, their faces turned pale, and they were secretly thankful that they didn't have a feverish head yesterday, otherwise, they would be the ones suffering the enemy's terrifying arrow rain now.

Harichagai's personal guards came to the high platform as quickly as possible.

He knelt down on one knee, with an anxious expression on his face, and said loudly, "Commander Qi, the enemy's firepower in front of us is too strong, and our troops are almost unable to withstand it. Please ask the commander to send more reinforcements."

As soon as the words fell, the generals on the high platform had different expressions.

Only Dai Qin, with a calm expression, said with a smile: "Hari Chagai swore in front of me yesterday. What? It's been less than half an hour, and you can't stand it anymore?"

Although Dai Qin was smiling, what he said was enough to make one die of shame.

The bodyguard's face turned red, and the emperor humiliated his ministers to death. As a bodyguard, the master will be humiliated, which is a great shame. Fortunately, he still had some sense left. Thinking of his comrades who were struggling on the edge of death on the battlefield, he shouted sadly: "Commander! Commander is magnanimous, please forgive us for our ignorance!"

Speaking of the latter part, the guard was already crying: "Commander, please have mercy, please leave some roots for the Tianying tribe! You guys have really tried your best, and no one can say that we are not brave."

As soon as the words fell, the generals were moved. Even the surrounding soldiers all put away their mocking expressions and cast respectful eyes. Think about it, with such a rain of arrows, the Skyhawk tribe did not back down, they are indeed heroes.

If it were them, they wouldn't be able to do better than the Skyhawk Tribe.

Dai Qin put away his smile and gave the personal guard an appreciative glance. This personal guard is not easy. With just a few words, he turned the tide and completely reversed the situation.

Unexpectedly, there is such a talent beside the reckless Harichagai.

Dai Qin was about to speak, at this moment, Hu Legen's personal guard from the Tianshu tribe also ran over. As soon as he came up, he shouted: "Commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, please withdraw!"

"Nonsense!" Dai Qin was furious, and the surrounding fields were silent. "Is the military order a child's play? If you want to withdraw troops, you can withdraw them?"

"..."

"Go back and tell Hu Legen, this commander has his own arrangements. If he dares to withdraw troops without authorization, this commander will take his dog's life himself!" Dai Qin looked at the frightened guard, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

They are also personal guards, why is there such a big gap!

"Obey!" Hulegan's personal guards were obedient, and ran away without a trace.

Naturally, Dai Qin would not refuse to save him. He wanted to suppress the ministries, but the premise of everything was to win this war, otherwise nothing would be mentioned.

He teased Haricagai's personal guard just now, but he just wanted the Skyhawk Tribe to remember his kindness, and laid the groundwork for the future grassland pattern.

Although Dai Qin is a general, his political acumen and skills are also very good.

After the episode, Dai Qin turned to look at the generals: "Who would like to reinforce the Tianying and Tianshu Divisions?"

The generals looked at each other in dismay, admiring the Tianying Department is one thing, but it is another thing to rush for reinforcements, that is a real casualty, who is not a fool.

"What? Is it true that my prairie boys are all soft-headed?" Dai Qin's face was unhappy, and at the same time he made a gesture to Lakshin on the left in an imperceptible way.

"..."

Lakshin understands, he knows, it's time for the Tribe to play. Although Dai Qin is the commander of the coalition army, he can't persecute the other ministries too hard. At critical moments, he has to use real knives.

If it was said that the Tianying tribe and the Tianshu tribe took the initiative to ask for the battle in the vanguard, and the Tianqi tribe did not participate, it would be reasonable; then, if the Tianqi tribe still only let the other tribes sacrifice and do nothing themselves, then it would be unreasonable.

No matter how powerful Dai Qin is, it will be difficult for him to convince the public.

Not to mention, there was a rift between the various ministries and the Tianqi tribe. If the favoritism is too obvious, the other generals are not fools, so how could they let Dai Qin fiddle with them.

"Commander, the general is willing to go for reinforcements!" Lakshin stepped forward.

"Okay! You will lead 5,000 people to reinforce the Tianying Department." Dai Qin smiled brightly, his face turned like a flip book, "Who else volunteers to go to reinforce the Tianshu tribe? If there is no one, this commander will be fired." .”

Lakshin stood up, and the other five generals were sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, there is no room for them to refuse.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to go!" Xi Rigoulige of the Tengu tribe suddenly came out.

Dai Qin nodded. The Tiangou tribe and the Tianshu tribe were secret allies, and Xi Rigoulige's appearance did not surprise him. "Okay, you will lead an army of 5,000 to reinforce the Sky Mouse Department."

"Obey!"

Dai Qin looked at Lakshin and Xi Rigoulige, and said solemnly: "Remember, the moat must be filled up today. If you don't compete for all the work, you must not retreat, or you will come to see me!"

"promise!"

The two armies marched out of the barracks in mighty force, rushing to the aid of the Tianying and Tianshu troops.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhao Sihu saw that the other party sent reinforcements, and muttered to himself: "The general is really good at predicting things!" Turning to look at the guards, he said: "Send my military order, the cavalry brigade is ready!"

"promise!"

After the reinforcements arrived, both Haricha Gai and Hu Legen breathed a sigh of relief. In less than an hour, they lost half of their troops, and if they carry on, the army will fall apart.

The difference is that Haricagai expressed his gratitude to Lakshin for his reinforcements. Hu Legen felt resentful towards Dai Qin for humiliating him, and secretly became ruthless.

Lakshin stared at the arrow rain in front of him, his scalp tingling. One doesn't feel it from a distance, but one can truly appreciate the terror of the opponent's rain of arrows when viewed from a close distance. It is densely packed and continuous, like endless.

In a short period of time, just the arrows shot out covered the ground, showing its terror.

It's hard for the Skyhawks to be able to support it until now. Thinking of this, Lakshin is also a man, so he immediately sent his troops up to let the Skyhawks take a breather.

After the reinforcements arrived, the progress of filling the river was significantly accelerated.

It seemed that the moat was about to be completely blocked and cut in half.

With the victory in sight, the two armies were very excited, and they were finally about to get rid of the terrible nightmare.

At this moment, the north gate of Friendship City suddenly opened, and a cavalry unit rushed out of the gate, aiming directly at the Tianshu and Tengu coalition forces in the east.

God is so pitiful, in order to fill the moat, the prairie army used cavalry instead of infantry. Facing the sudden cavalry, they could only cry in vain!
