Chapter 1663 The City Wall Falls
Generally speaking, generals in the army will incorporate some of their own juniors into their own guards. First, these people are relatively reliable, and second, these people will also listen to their own commands. The most important thing is I don't care about my own life or death.
Cheng Zhijie glanced back, his old man was in the past, he was chopped to death with a knife, but where did he go, this is Cheng Zhijie's third brother's little self who also loves this well-behaved nephew, this time this nephew is coming to the front line After a lot of experience, whoever lost his life here, no one thought that the war would be so tragic.
Although the barbarian army was beaten down again, this time it was different from the last time. The city walls of Guangming City were destroyed by them. No matter how strong the city walls are, there will be a day when they will be damaged. They expected Guangming City The city wall of the city will be damaged, but I never thought it would be today. Come on, those tigers. The city wall was destroyed. Twenty thousand people died on the wall, and more than 3000 people died under the city wall. In the barbarian camp, I looked at the giant planks under the city wall. These beasts are really persistent. Could it be that they are nothing.
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." There was a sound of horns. This was a sign that the wildlings were about to attack. At this level, they would still fight. Cheng Zhijie didn't dare to know anything. It seemed that he couldn't go down now. Take a rest, the enemy is coming again.
"Father, go down and have a rest. I'll hold you back. I don't think these people will let it go today." Cheng Zhijie's older self was fine, and when he turned his head, it was General Cheng again.
"Transfer new troops to the city." Cheng Zhijie didn't say much, but his words were the most useful here. After Cheng Zhijie finished speaking, his deputy Zhu Shan immediately started waving the banner in his hand. No one said a word of nonsense. The tens of thousands of troops behind the parapet immediately began to climb up the city wall with their own weapons and equipment. After they reached their position, the troops who had been killing on the city wall for a while began to support them down, and tens of thousands of people jumped up alive. In the end, there were less than 3,000 wounded and remnant soldiers. This war was too fierce, but compared with the losses of the savages, they were still acceptable. After all, reinforcements were coming in a steady stream.
"Look, my lord, the enemy is playing tricks again." A lookout said loudly, Cheng Zhijie immediately looked into the distance, and dozens of big trees in the distance were cut down directly, and their height can definitely catch up with that one For the big wooden board, they want to open up more passages. This is Cheng Zhijie’s idea. Soon those wild people let Cheng Zhijie know that they are coming. For them, a plank or a piece of wood is acceptable to them. Their sharp claws can grab everything, and then rush up quickly. This method of the Snake Queen caused the entire city of Guangming to fall into chaos. In the great passivity, if the walls of Guangming City that stretched for twenty miles were harassed by them like this,
The current strength is definitely not enough, Cheng Zhijie immediately felt the difficulty of the matter.
"Quickly, immediately transfer the new twelve battalions to the city wall." Cheng Zhijie thought for a while and said, hundreds of thousands of troops began to gather immediately, and hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to all climb the city wall. If you want to expand the battlefield, then come , we are waiting for you, but Cheng Zhijie did not stay on the city wall after he finished speaking. He knew very well that there might be something that he couldn't stand this time, and he wanted to report all this to the emperor quickly. On the front line, Guangming City may not be able to hold it anymore, at least he doesn't have that ability.
The Snake Queen smiled and looked at the soldiers of the two tribes who were working in his camp. They did a pretty good job. With less than 5,000 casualties, more than 100 huge logs were erected. , The Snake Queen glanced at the soldiers of the leopard tribe who were ready, and let the soldiers of the leopard tribe try it this time.
"Warriors, our great Snake Queen has found another path for us. We can rush to Bright City along this path, but rushing to Bright City is not our main purpose anymore. Our purpose has changed. Then It is nailed there firmly like a nail. Guangming City is just the beginning for us. You 30,000 warriors are the bravest warriors of our leopard tribe. Use the weapons in your hands to tell those humans how outstanding you are. Use your achievements to tell the Snake Queen that you are her most useful fighters, and tell all our tribes that our leopard tribe is the bravest..." Leopard King has already started to mobilize before the battle, just tell him Similarly, these 30,000 people are indeed the bravest people in the Leopard Clan. The Leopard Clan has suffered 100,000 casualties in the past few days. The population of the Leopard Clan is quite large, but today they are the most elite. The 10,000 lion clan behind them pouted, what's so great, it's just because of how many people there are, if the race of Laozi has tens of millions, they will definitely be able to fight this, it's a pity that they The lion clan can't even keep up with a fraction of others.
The warriors of the Leopard Clan naturally responded to their king with loud roars. The Leopard King was also very satisfied with their performance. It can be said that their Leopard Clan suffered heavy losses in the past few days. You have to show your face. According to the Snake Queen, today is the last stop. If they can’t enter Guangming City, they must withdraw their troops. Then tell everyone that they are here to try. The actual main attack will start next year. , if they can break in, then tens of millions of troops will gather immediately. At that time, as they said, Guangming City is actually the beginning, and conquering the entire continent is what they want to do.
Cheng Zhijie in Guangming City is also ready. The 400,000 troops have all boarded the city wall. Since you are going to start an all-out war, I will come with you. The three carrier pigeons brought Cheng Zhijie's personal letter. Flying towards the imperial capital at a fast speed, the war starting today will be different from before. In the past, they only needed to defend the main city wall, but now they are building walls everywhere on the ten-mile-long city wall. This kind of giant wood is on, and the cattle people below use stone shields to protect themselves tightly. Even if they can be smashed to death, they can't push these giant wood away. This is the helplessness of human beings. Well, as the defensive side, although they have many advantages, they can't decide the direction of the whole battle, they can only play tricks.
"Kill up, kill up to Guangming City, charge." Leopard King saw that everyone was ready, and immediately roared, 30,000 Leopard elites immediately divided into hundreds of teams and headed towards the giant log in front of them Rushing over, of course, there are other troops in front of the huge plank, that is, the 10,000 Lion Clan troops behind them, and they will not miss this opportunity, and there are 30,000 tiger troops behind them They also want to take advantage of this opportunity to rush up, plus the 20,000 wolf army, it can be said that the Snake Queen has used a large number of elite troops this time. The role of these elite troops is to capture a place after going up. Come down, and then hundreds of thousands of cattle and bear troops will rush up. Although Guangming City cannot be said to be their own, at least a large part of it is their own.
"Soldiers, the enemy's fiercest attack is coming. For the sake of mankind, the empire, and even ourselves, fight the enemy bravely and never retreat." All the generals were loudly motivating their soldiers, and they also watched Come out, the crisis this time is more serious than ever before, the crossbows in the bunker were fired one after another, many people's shoulders were already swollen, but they didn't seem to feel it, repeating the mechanical Every time you launch, several elite warriors of the savage race must be turned into candied gourds, so that the brothers on the city wall can die less, but the warriors of the savage race are not frightened by this, they are still fighting. go ahead.
This time, Cheng Zhijie couldn't go up and fight desperately. If something happened to him, it would be a big deal, but if the enemy captured Guangming City, it would be a disaster for the whole continent, but there is good news during this period, The 300,000 reinforcements from the northern provinces arrived, and Cheng Zhijie didn't give them any time to rest. They are now the reserve team. There is still a reserve team of about one million people in the main game, but these people are far from enough. At the beginning, many generals felt that this number was enough, but soon they knew that their general was right. Within half an hour of the battle, five thousand corpses were brought down, and the beasts that came up from the enemy were even bigger. There are more and more of them, they are different from before, they used to charge up and kill people everywhere, but now they will not attack after they charge up, they will stay where they are and wait until there are their people behind , they will continue to move forward. The savages who changed their tactics soon had thousands of people standing on the city wall, and their tactics were very correct.
"Hasa, bring your people up to me, and give them all to me." Cheng Zhijie saw that the enemy's battle results were getting bigger and bigger, and said loudly, this Hasa is Cheng Zhijie's number one fighter, it can be said The degree of bravery is even stronger than Cheng Zhijie. Hasa sneered, and rushed up with his five thousand knives and axe. This kid is indeed capable. He went up and killed a Leopard soldier It was cut in half, and his soldiers saw that their generals were so powerful, and they all rushed up like little tigers. Their arrival made more than a thousand savages on the side of the main city wall form an entrenched force. The clan felt tremendous pressure, and the territory they had acquired began to shrink little by little. The Snake Queen in the distance obviously saw this too, and she couldn't let this hard-won victory just leave her, she didn't want to wait until next year If they come to attack again at this time, they must win today.
"Leopard King, charge up." The Snake Queen spoke, and the Leopard King beside him only had fanaticism in his eyes. He roared and rushed up with his three hundred guards. The Wolf King and Lion King over there were also eager to try. But the Snake Queen didn't mean to tell them to go up, so they could only watch from below. If they didn't make a move, if they went up, they would be disobeying orders. Now humans haven't reached their limit, and a leopard king is enough for them to drink a pot that's it.
"Yes." The Leopard King respectfully agreed, and now the confidence of all the kings of the Savage Race has risen. They can see that it is absolutely possible to occupy the walls of Guangming City today. Don't look at the chaos ahead, what they need is this kind of chaos. If there is still no improvement as before, today is throwing life on it for nothing. After finishing speaking, the Leopard King took a deep breath, stared fiercely, and jumped out for nearly twenty meters. It is even more powerful to attract the other kings directly with one hand. The wildlings are very honest under the leadership of the snake queen, but the real situation is that their struggle is quite the same without the snake queen. Otherwise, if they united, Guangming City would encounter such an attack almost every year, but now, there is only one major attack in hundreds of years, and only one complete union in tens of thousands of years. The rest of the time is when their memories are slaughtered. It is unrealistic to unite all these races after years of war, it can only be a superficial union.
The Leopard King rushed to the top of the wall as fast as he could. The first person he killed was not a human being, but two Leopard soldiers who were on their hind legs, one for each paw, "Everyone, listen to me clearly! Now, all the races are watching us, they can only fight to the death and cannot retreat, if anyone has a chance, I will kill him immediately and charge me." Leopard King's voice was loud, and when he heard his voice, the snake The Queen nodded. There was a reason why the Leopard King worked so hard. The Snake Queen promised that after the Leopard King captured Guangming City, two small races would also be incorporated into the leadership of the Leopard King, instead of the kings of more than a dozen races like now. They are all equal, and by that time King Leopard will have two clan kings under his command.
Soldiers of other races saw their centripetal force come out when they saw the Leopard Clan. It seems that the previous disputes can be put down for a while. The soldiers of other races seem to have a goal now. Seeing their eyes The eyes in the eyes have all turned into beasts. Although they are orcs, the part of their brains that belongs to humans has disappeared at this moment. All of them are in the image of beasts. At this time, human beings are already Their eyes were red, and each of them didn't care about what was in front of them. They just wanted to chop off their knives. At this moment, both sides fell into madness, and the number of casualties on the battlefield also increased sharply. Yes, there are tens of thousands of casualties on both sides almost every hour. If this cannot be controlled, it is very likely that the soldiers in the entire Guangming City will be exhausted in two days.
"Report to the Marshal, the 200,000 heavy infantry and 100,000 heavy cavalry from the Southern Empire are less than 30 miles away from us, the 300,000 heavy infantry from the southern provinces have arrived, and there are still about 3 million The reinforcements will arrive in the next day." The messenger said in Cheng Zhijie's room, and Cheng Zhijie just nodded to these reinforcements, even if it was from the Southern Empire, the Southern Empire has now sent reinforcements of nearly half a million troops Well, 100,000 people have already died on the city wall. At this time, they dare not do something tricky. The generals of the Southern Empire have also seen it. Cheng Zhijie didn't use this person to consume them. It's just that the war has reached that level. , They have to rush up, Cheng Zhijie is very sensible, the generals of the Southern Empire have also seen the current situation, and know that if they don't take some action immediately, the whole continent may be in the mouth of these beasts, and their emergency documents are also Fly to the imperial capital of the Southern Empire like snowflakes.
Cheng Zhijie counted the days, and His Majesty the Emperor told him that Li Cong's new army had already set off six days ago, and it took two days to count. Bian Ke is in big trouble, although several lines of defense have been arranged in the city, but everyone has time.
"General, the enemy's Leopard King rushed up, and General Hasa was killed by the Leopard King..." Cheng Zhijie was shocked by this sentence, fuck, this Hasa discovered this, and he is ordering the other The soldiers in the area carried the logs over there. If the logs increased, their output would also increase. They couldn't just go up there as they wished. Cheng Zhijie glanced at his general.
"Masa, bring the Iron Armored Army up immediately, and take back the city wall at all costs." Cheng Zhijie ordered, and the other generals were all shocked. The Iron Armored Army is the most powerful heavy infantry in the empire. Each of them can easily carry more than 100 catties, and their whole body is covered by iron armor. They will form a small square formation one by one when attacking, and the thirty people outside are responsible for blocking the enemy with tall shields. But there are still some shooting holes on the shield, and the people inside will attack the enemy on the shooting holes, and when the shield is raised, their men wield machetes below to block the enemy's retreat. They are invincible, especially in this kind of melee. Small units are much stronger than large ones. Cheng Zhijie's trump card army is them. The total number is only 30,000. If they are used now, wait until the more dangerous ones There is no trump card in time, so everyone will be surprised.
Cheng Zhijie also has no choice. Look at these people above, most of them are already exhausted. Although there are still new troops coming, but the above is like a meat grinder, constantly killing people's lives. Go, this will only increase casualties, and the enemy has already controlled an area. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on these ordinary soldiers to win. Even if they rush up, they can only waste with the enemy It's just a matter of losing your own life. At this time, there must be an ace army rushing forward. Without the ace army, it is impossible to accomplish anything. Ordinary soldiers can't do it.
The dispatch of the Iron Armored Army will inevitably cause instability in the army. In fact, such an army should stabilize the army, but now it seems to have become one of the factors of instability within the army. Many people are because of some reason, there are iron armor After a while, the army will be able to take their own. These ordinary troops haven't gone up yet. I know that the trump card is about to appear.
After climbing up the city wall, the Iron Armored Army did not line up neatly like other armies to rush up, but turned into small square formations with more than a hundred people one by one, and then rushed towards the place with the most orcs, one by one. The small phalanx began to strangle the enemy at this time. The savages had never encountered such a tactic. They wanted to break through the small phalanx, but there were too many people on the wall, and they had no way to run. Although they are much stronger than humans, the small phalanx of humans seems to be stuck with adhesive tape, and they cannot be smashed apart at all. However, the people they approached were killed unconsciously, and some of them did not. The dead one broke his leg and groaned on the ground, waiting for the small phalanx to pass by and killed the person on the ground directly.
At this moment, many people have died in the battle of Guangming City, and Li Cong is not idle. From the small satellite he launched, he can see the current situation of Guangming City. His army also needs a platform. If the city is breached, he will have to slaughter Cheng Zhijie if he goes there. Tens of millions of troops won't be able to defend it for a month. It is indeed dangerous, and Li Cong can see the enemy's attack very clearly. If he didn't have these so-called serial crossbows in his hands, Li Cong probably wouldn't dare to say that he could defend them with manpower. Cheng Zhijie said in this regard. It's a party that did a great job.
"General, we are still half a day away from Guangming City. Maple Leaf Town is in front of us. Before entering Guangming City, you must report to Maple Leaf Town. This is the northernmost reporting office established by the Imperial Ministry of War." Meng Tian rode a new Wharton horse and brought everything here. This kid also caused Li Cong a lot of trouble. Many of Meng Tian's subordinates were highly valued in their original troops. Some elite teams have been taken away, there is no way, people want to go high, the former old chief is looking for us, can you not go, if you don't go, you will wear an ungrateful hat on your head , and there is another one that is going to belong to the Eight Legions of His Majesty the Emperor, except for the Imperial Forest Army. Are you a fool if you don't go?
"The army can't stop. You take people to report, and just say what I said. From now on, I will take over all the defenses on the front line." Li Cong took out the imperial decree and His Majesty's gold medal and said, to be honest, Li Cong didn't like these things. I want to take over the orders of other emperors, but in order to better take over this planet in the future, everything about myself is necessary.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Meng Tian said excitedly. Since Li Cong entered this area, Li Cong has been the biggest official in the sky. Cheng Zhijie has already received the imperial edict. He is still the commander of the front line, but after Li Cong arrived, he will be an adjutant. If he was in the past, he would definitely scold his mother. War, after all, if these alien races are really allowed to rush in, it is not a joke for the entire empire, it is a very terrible thing.
The upper echelon of the empire also opposed Li Cong as the front-line commander. Although Li Cong's power in the imperial capital was considered very unsatisfactory, he just moved his feet and said that he would second him, but if he was allowed to jump out alone, it would be a big deal. It's not that simple anymore, His Majesty the Emperor won't jump in his heart to kill a person, so one by one just objected for a while, and the rest was silent, and Li Cong became the front line smoothly Commander.
Guangming City can already be seen in the distance, Li Cong and the others have at most half an hour away from Guangming City.
At this moment, the lion king let out a long roar on the city wall, which startled everyone, and all the wildlings on the opposite side cheered. Now the city wall is almost under their control, and everyone can write in their own rooms. I wrote the memorial, and then tore it up...he still didn't dare to write.
At this moment, the situation above is getting worse and worse. Just now, they were able to share equal shares with the enemy on the city wall, but after two hours, they could no longer gain a firm foothold on it. Both the Lion King and the Tiger King had arrived. If Cheng Zhijie rushed up, there might be a fight. The lion king and the tiger king were basically covered with corpses. The lion king was still laughing loudly at humans, and all the soldiers had already seen it. It is absolutely impossible to take back the city wall. At this moment, the bunker above the city wall is ready to be set on fire. There are crossbows and gears inside. They can't retreat at this time, they can only set fire to the whole room to turn everything into ashes, otherwise If these fall into the hands of the savages, it may cause even greater disasters.
Cheng Zhijie closed his eyes in pain, the city wall has already fallen, he must order to stop this suicide behavior of sending people up, it is impossible to continue like this, the city wall will take time, millions of hoplites will die If they can take back the city wall, their loss is okay, but now it is obvious that it is impossible to get it back.
Just when Cheng Zhijie was about to give an order, two cavalrymen at the south gate entered Guangming City with dragon flags. They were Li Cong's sentries. Many people must also have a foothold on the city wall. Li Cong knows very well that they can win without the city wall, but they will lose a lot of people at that time. As long as the city wall is different, Li Cong has absolute confidence. Confidence drives them out.
"Follow the order of Li Cong, General of the State, Earl of the Empire, the new Lord of Guangming City and the former commander of the enemy, the entire army must not take a step back, and try to keep the city wall. Those who retreat will be killed, and those who disobey the military order will be killed..." General Li Cong's military order arrived in time After reaching the front line, Li Cong could come over in 20 minutes. Cheng Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the next batch of troops to go up. Cheng Zhijie also knew the importance of the city wall. hopeful, but at this moment they see hope.
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes like a nightmare. After occupying most of the city wall, 80,000 cattle warriors from the savage tribe also went up, and their strength on the entire city wall reached 120,000. There are only less than 50,000 human beings, but these 50,000 people have held on to a small corner. No matter how heavy the casualties are, this small corner is still holding on with the help of the crossbows in those bunkers. They cannot retreat, they must Look here hard, waiting for Li Cong's arrival.
Li Cong has arrived at a place one thousand meters away from the city wall. Li Cong has seen the lion king on the city wall. Li Cong knows that he must give everyone confidence now. Take a deep breath and use yours to stand up. The soldiers next to him will see Seeing Li Cong's posture, he immediately gave Li Congsong a bow and arrow. At this moment, they wanted to see the demeanor of their general at a distance of 2,000 paces. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers maintained their current posture, and they were going to watch a good show. (To be continued.
