The battle in the southwest platform of Daiwang City did not go smoothly at first.
The defense facilities of the Martha Fort are indeed not perfect, but the advantage of the defense side is still very obvious. It is mainly because the entire fort is located in Daiwang City. The fort is covered with layers of abandoned buildings on all sides, and the roads are narrow and rugged, which is very unfavorable to the development of the attacking party's troops. Moreover, there are a large number of rolling wood and stones in the fort. Lu Yao launched two attacks, and the forwards have already broken through the wooden fence of the fort, but because of the subsequent power, they were unable to follow up in time, and were eventually forced to retreat by the Luochuan thieves. He had to send orders to stop the battle for the time being, and then withdraw his troops to a large house and take a rest.
The military officers counted the soldiers and reported that these two attacks caused more than 120 casualties to our own side. The Luochuan thieves had a good geographical advantage, and there were fewer casualties. Inside and outside the wooden fence not far from the big house, blood flowed into a pond, and many brothers' bodies could not be recaptured, and their broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere, looking increasingly miserable and frustrating. If it weren't for the efforts to restrain military discipline these days, and yesterday they used heavy rewards to inspire them, I was afraid that the morale of the troops would be worrying.
With the clanging sound of iron armor, Chen Pei strode. His armor was bumpy, his body and face were covered with blood. The blind leather eye mask was thrown away somewhere, and the purple-red scar was exposed, which was quite ferocious. In the two attacks just now, Chen Pei led the way and rushed hard, extremely brave. Especially for the second time, he had clearly occupied a considerable area in the wooden fence, but the support was blocked by Luochuan thieves' concentrated crossbow shooting, so he could only shoot against the enemy and slowly retreat. This failure made Chen Pei very angry. He reported impatiently: "General, the bandits are already tired! We will definitely succeed when we attack again!"
Lu Yao was actually a little anxious. After all, what he expected was to defeat the Luochuan thieves before the coalition forces of various tribes of Dai County appeared, and occupy the Daiwang City as a stable rear. If he could not win as soon as possible on this battlefield, it would be very likely that he would be attacked on both sides, which would be a big problem. Therefore, no matter what, Daiwang City must be taken down within half an hour. But he did not express this emotion.
As I analyzed last night with the generals, Daiwang City is definitely a good place, surrounded by mountains, fertile land, rivers meandering for irrigation, and a ready-made city. Using it as a base to attack everywhere, it will be enough to wipe out Dai County and shock the Tuoba Xianbei within three or five days. If you think farther, if you can gain a foothold here, build water conservancy, attract exile, and resume production... Lu Yao has absolute confidence that within three or five years, he can build it into an important northern town with a status of no less than Jinyang. This place is worth fighting and fight; as for how to win the victory during the battle, Lu Yao has long been prepared to overcome all kinds of suffering.
He shook his head and did not respond to Chen Pei's request: "Brother Qingnian is at ease. The brothers' morale is still good, but they have been exhausted since the battle, and they need to recover very much... Let's take a break first and wait for Ding Wenhao's troops to arrive and attack together."
Lu Yao's troops were divided into two parts at this moment. Some of the cavalry were led by Xue Tong, Shen Jin, Liu Xia and others, wandering around the periphery of Daiwang City, ready to fight with the Hu clans of Daijun at any time; the other part of the infantry attacked the city and fought against the Luochuan bandits. These infantry were divided into two routes, with Lu Yao's troops entering from the south, and Ding Miao's troops entering from the west. The two sides agreed to take the whole place to the palace of Daiwang City. Now that Lu Yao has arrived, Ding Miao will probably not be too late.
Sure enough, after a moment, Ding Miao killed the enemy who retreated to the west of the city and went straight to the platform where the Marx Fort was located.
The two armies merged and their forces suddenly felt full. Lu Yao then divided the soldiers into ten teams. In addition to retaining appropriate reserves, the ten teams lined up from north to south, each looking for a terrain suitable for siege and launching an attack at the same time.
Since the complex terrain outside the fort is not conducive to mobilization, we simply rely on the small troops to break through in dispersed ways and open up the situation with the soldiers' personal courage and combat qualities!
After a moment, ten teams shouted in unison and rushed towards the platform.
Among Lu Yao's army, there were many warriors who were one hundred, such as Ding Yu, Xiao Shi, Du Qin, Chen Pei, etc., who rushed forward in person. Even He Yun and Tulinus and other personal soldiers were sent to the front line of fighting. For a time, the shouts of killing were shaking the sky and the earth!
Chen Pei participated in the first two attacks and accumulated some experience, so he became very careful and the direction of the attack was relatively remote. With the cover of the abandoned houses, they were close to about fifty steps before they were discovered, and they instantly rushed to the wooden fence again. The defense of this section of wooden fence was indeed a bit weak. Chen Pei dialed horizontally with a heavy iron spear, smashing a few piercing spears and slamming the spears forward frantically. The sharp spear tips passed through the gaps of the wooden fence and killed several people one after another.
Seeing that he was fierce and unstoppable, the enemies on both sides of the wooden fence rushed to help. Chen Pei's subordinates took the opportunity to shoot indiscriminately, and immediately shot them all over the ground. The enemies farther away also noticed the danger here, but were entangled by several other siege troops and could not pull out their hands for a while.
Previously, the Jin people were staring at several locations and attacking fiercely, while the Luochuan thieves mobilized mobile power to form local advantages to fight against each other. But now the Jin people were divided into ten routes, and each route was in full swing. This was obviously because they were proud of their strong soldiers and brave generals, and there were many people. Ma Fu complained repeatedly in his heart. He personally put on armor and held a sharp blade to support the inner circle of the wooden fence. The group of new forces led by him were the ones who had retreated from the Jin people's offensive. But at this time, everyone was in a hurry, and he really didn't know where to rescue him.
Since the horse suit was hesitant, the Jin army even launched a fierce attack. Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Chen Pei pierced the iron spear deep into the wooden fence, roared wildly, and tried his best to pry the iron spear back and forth. Several thieves stabbed with long spears, adding a few new wounds to his body, but he ignored them and just continued to exert force. Fortunately, he hurriedly covered the left and right and forced the bandits to take a few steps. Chen Pei's spear was all elite.
The iron is made, and the thickest part is as tough as a child's wrist. How tough is it? The fence made of thick wood is not strong enough after all, and it cracks with a crackling sound. Several wooden boards fell to the ground, revealing a wide gap on the wooden fence. Chen Pei's subordinates cheered, rushed up and slashed with swords and axes, and soon expanded the gap by more than twice. Dozens of people rushed in, slashing and killing randomly like wolves and tigers.
The horse man felt that it was not good at this time, so he led people to rush over to block it. Although this man was old, the battlefield command was sophisticated, and his former fierce skills were still there. Dozens of thieves suddenly joined the battle group, and Chen Pei's troops felt that the pressure increased sharply. As soon as the two sides stalemate, there was another corpse on the ground.
Chen Pei shouted repeatedly, danced his spear and suppressed the horse's uniform tightly. He was about to use the trick of seeking victory in danger, and fought with the old thief when he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air behind him. Wherever he went from the corner of his eyes, a cold light flashed, as if millions of silver threads were swept over and over.
Chen Pei's spirit was suddenly excited and laughed out loud. Who else could such a might be except Lu Yao personally trapped in the battle?
The generals of both sides had already taken the battle personally, but their morale was getting worse. When Lu Yao and others stabilized the area in the wooden fence, four or five directions reached a breakthrough. They launched waves of attacks, like cutting into stones, and splitting the Luochuan thieves bit by bit.
During the battle, as long as the morale of one side begins to slip, it is often a process of acceleration, and it will soon develop from retreat to retreat. This is the case with the Luochuan thieves. When the shouts of killing around gradually gather, they collapsed. The leader's horse suit was shot through his head and neck by a bow and arrow while fleeing, and died on the spot. His bravest son, Ma Tong, was cut off his head with a sharp axe by a steed axe. Ma Kong is the best at observing the wind. Seeing that the situation is not good, he had long since left the battlefield with several people. They returned to the fort and wrapped a lot of gold, silver and fine softness, trying to escape from the path where Ma Cuo had escaped. But before he walked far, he was discovered by the patrol cavalry led by Shen Jin. Shen Jin was so rough and fierce that he didn't even ask for a confession, and directly killed them like chopping melons and vegetables.
