Chapter 454 The Collapse of the Coalition Forces Eleven
Although General Wan Qing was trying hard to command the troops to charge, the rockets on both sides were still attacking the coalition forces, and the elite troops on the front also launched bows and arrows attacks. There were very few coalition soldiers who could rush out of the sea of fire. After rushing out, they were immediately surrounded and killed by elite troops waiting in front. General Wan Qing could not organize an effective charge at all in this environment. [26nbsp;]
General Wan Qing completely lost control of the chaotic troops, so he could only order the troops to find ways to retreat. However, a large number of burning rolling wood fell immediately above the city gate, almost completely sealing the city gate. It was almost impossible to withdraw from the city gate. Although the four elite troops of Wan Qing were the most trained units of the coalition forces, they still could not control the war horses in the sea of fire.
The flames on the ground were nearly one meter high at this time, and the soldiers did not dare to dismount and could not control the horses. As a result, the troops were naturally becoming more and more chaotic. Some officers with higher cultivation could no longer care about so many, and flew up to the houses on both sides of the avenue to avoid the fires and chaotic scenes.
However, the enemy officers who were on the roof immediately became targets of bows and arrows. As long as they were on the roof, they were immediately besieged by dozens or hundreds of sharp arrows. Except for generals at the level of the War Sect, even the War Spirit could not survive such dense bows and arrows. In less than twenty minutes, there were only a few coalition troops rushing into the city.
General Wan Qing outside the city saw the fire in the city and knew that the troops entering the city were ambushed, so he immediately ordered other troops to rescue with all their might. Even the general would lose four elite troops at once and could not escape heavy punishment. However, in the face of the fire, even if other troops wanted to rescue, they could not rush into the sea of fire. They could only find a way to move the fire-rolling wood piled up at the city gate.
However, less than one-tenth of the coalition soldiers could escape from the sea of fire, and the receiving troops were injured in large numbers in the bows and arrows and rolling wood stones. General Wan Qing heard the fleeing soldiers and immediately guessed that there must be the same ambush in the other three city gates, and immediately ordered the troops from the other three directions to temporarily suspend the entry into the city.
Wan Qing went to fight this time with six elite legions, and because these elite soldiers were all cavalry configurations, they never went to fight. Unexpectedly, four legions were lost in this battle. If General Wan Qing withdrew his troops, he would not be able to explain after he returned. Therefore, he was even more determined to take the city at all costs.
However, since there should be ambushing the other three city gates, the general decided to concentrate his troops and wait for the flames in the city to extinguish and then attack with all his strength. Only 100,000 troops were left on guard in the other three directions to prevent the Qin troops from fleeing. Only by capturing all the Qin troops in the city in one place can he make up for his mistakes.
The fire burned for several hours, and when the flames gradually faded, the sky gradually darkened. In order to prevent the Qin Dynasty from deploying new defensive measures overnight, General Wanqing decided to launch an attack overnight. However, he left 300,000 troops in the other three directions, and the concentrated troops on the western front were only 300,000.
There were 900,000 troops of reinforcements, but the city was sieged continuously for several months, and casualties were inevitable. Now only 600,000 people can fight. However, General Wan Qing had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the coalition. Indeed, the Qin troops in the city were composed of elite corps and regular troops, and the strength of the regular troops was even worse than that of the coalition.
The coalition forces waited for nearly an hour after the fire was gradually extinguished before launching an attack, mainly to avoid the embers of the fire and the hot temperature on the ground that would affect the war horses. After confirming that the fire had completely not affected the attack, General Wan Qing commanded the troops to attack, and he personally led the remaining two elite troops to charge after the four pioneer legions.
However, just as the Wanqing Alliance Army made a merit attack, news came from the Eastern Front Alliance that they were attacked by the Daqin troops, and they were Daqin reinforcements from outside. It was naturally the 200,000 elite troops led by Xu Sancai. He had been paying attention to the war in the border town and was always aware of the enemy's mobilization situation. Of course, he also understood the intention of General Wanqing.
Xu Sancai led his troops to the border city quietly. When he learned that the enemy had launched an attack on the western front, he immediately led his team to launch an attack without delaying it. Tens of thousands of troops rushed out of the city at the same time. However, those troops were just regular troops of the Qin Dynasty and did not really launch an attack, but to restrain the enemy.
All the elite troops in the city were mobilized to the Western Front, and the regular army also had 100,000 concentrated on the walls of the Western Front and roofs on both sides of the avenue. It can be said that most of the troops in the city were mobilized to the Western Front. Although this was a bit risky, the mobilization of the enemy had already exposed the intention, and the troops in the other three directions were completely defensive.
Of course, the Eastern Front Alliance Army also wanted to prevent the Qin troops from escaping, and the direction of the defensive formation was naturally facing the direction of the border city. When the Qin troops were attacking, they originally planned to change the formation, but the Qin troops rushed out of the city made the Eastern Front Alliance Army not dare to act rashly. In this way, when the Qin elites led by Xu Sancai rushed to the scene, the Eastern Front Alliance Army was only the cavalry of the future army to fight.
When Xu Sancai led his army to charge, the battle on the Western Front was also going fiercely. No, it should be said to be tragic. Although the coalition forces were constantly attacked by densely from the city walls and the road on the way to charge, under the command of General Wan Qing, the coalition did not hesitate at all, ignored the attacks, and just charged forward at full speed.
The elite troops in the city met the coalition under the leadership of the thief general. Although the 300,000 coalition forces were composed of four countries, after receiving the order to attack with all their strength, the generals of each legion led their respective troops without much cooperation, and did not have much impact on the attack power.
However, the continuous attacks caused these troops to suffer considerable losses on the way to charge. Although there was no time to arrange more traps and fortifications, a large number of rolling wood and stones were mobilized at the city gate, which not only caused considerable losses to the coalition forces, but also hindered the troops from entering the city.
Although the coalition forces had sent engineers to continuously move the rolling stones blocking the road, the speed of the coalition forces entering the city was still slowed down. The troops entering the city were constantly attacked by bows and arrows on both sides along the way, and the team could not maintain the integrity of the formation at all, and naturally suffered losses in the hedging of the troops on both sides.
The strength of the elite troops of Daqin and the regular troops of ordinary great powers is almost the same, but several great powers have elite troops, especially Wan Qing's elite troops. Their personal strength and equipment are better than that of Daqin and they face the head-on without any support. Naturally, the Qin Dynasty is at a disadvantage. In a hurry, they really don't have time to arrange more defensive equipment, only some roadblocks and tripping horses.
