Chapter 674: Destroy the Eastern Japanese (Part 2)
At the same time, the cavalry in Hetao also approached the city wall one after another. Under the illumination of countless butter torches, they skillfully shot at the city wall to cover the charge of their own soldiers.
The Dongwa side obviously also understands the importance of this battle. If the city wall is captured by the Hetao soldiers, the entire defense line will inevitably collapse, and what will follow will definitely be a crazy massacre in the Hetao. Therefore, facing the precise attack of the Hetao
They were not afraid of the rain of arrows and continued to fight back under the cover of the shield bearers.
The rain of arrows ruthlessly poured down from the city wall, hitting the attacking soldiers in Hetao, causing a splatter of blood and loss of life. Immediately afterwards, huge rolling logs were smashed with a rumbling sound.
Falling down, rolling down the slope, pressing against the soldiers in Hetao with increasing speed and strength, causing chaos wherever they went.
However, the soldiers in Hetao quickly returned to normal. After all, this was an elite army that had experienced hundreds of battles. Under the command of the grassroots generals, they quickly regrouped and charged forward again.
The Dongwa soldiers were not to be outdone. Hundreds of jars were smashed on the slope. The jars shattered and the liquid inside flowed down the slope. Before the Hetao soldiers recovered, rockets from the Dongwa side were already fired, covering the entire slope.
The slope suddenly became a sea of fire. The soldiers in the Hetao who had just escaped the attack of the rolling logs were plunged into the sea of fire again, and the entire slope suddenly became a hell on earth.
The fighting is still going on.
In the open wilderness, there are forests of guns, mountains of knives, flags waving, crowds surging, thousands of soldiers and horses dotted here and there, and countless butter torches burning brightly. Although they are in a battle formation, there are still bright and dark sentries criss-crossing each other, and patrolling soldiers
Still meticulous, such a strict layout shows the power of a powerful army that dominates the world.
This situation has been going on for a long time. Although the Loop has filled in the moat of Nara and built a gentle slope under the city wall, the resistance of the Dongbo is too fierce. Even under the trapped beasts, they still have to fight, regardless of their fighting ability.
The will to fight has soared several levels, and they are actually on a par with the Hetao army. Although their losses are definitely heavier than the Hetao side, such a war of attrition is not what the Hetao is happy to see.
"Commander, General Zhuo Qianping's casualties exceeded 30%, should he be transferred?" Marching Commander Shi Li Donggao looked at the data in his hand, turned around and asked.
There was no expression on Dugu's face: "Is this what Zhuo Qianping asked for?"
Li Donggao shook his head quickly: "No, this is just my subordinate's personal opinion."
"In that case, let's continue." Dugu squinted his eyes: "As the lord's direct army, if they can't even bear this loss, then they have simply insulted the reputation of the Huben Army! The lord doesn't want to see this either.
Subordinates, please inform Xiao Zhenglong that his troops will prepare and attack together with Zhuo Qianping."
"But the situation of Xiao Zhenglong's soldiers is even worse. There are only less than 5,000 soldiers left in the 10,000-strong unit, and more than 1,000 of them are seriously wounded." Li Donggao couldn't help but said, but looking at Dugu's cold eyes,
Finally, he shut his mouth and just motioned to the soldiers around him to go and summon the message immediately.
Dugu snorted, but didn't say anything. The Huben Legion is Haotian's personal soldiers. All the soldiers in this legion are the elite of the millions of troops in Hetao. Every one of them, whether physically or mentally,
Both in terms of quality and armor, they are the best. However, such an army is also the easiest to corrupt. If there is no fighting, no battle of life and death, and no desire for victory and honor, then they will soon become a mere
A second-rate army, not even second-rate.
By then, although they will have sophisticated equipment and strong bodies, they will no longer have the desire for the battlefield and victory. Their military discipline should be very good, at least when they are the etiquette team, they can perform quite well, but to
Let them go to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness will probably be inferior to that of local troops.
Out of the pride of a soldier, Dugu will never tolerate such a thing happening, and Haotian, who has always been a soldier at heart, cannot tolerate such a thing happening either. Moreover, this is the legion directly under Haotian and the Hetao Tenth Army.
As a model among the remaining legions, he should be tougher and braver, and truly become the leader of the Hetao army. Therefore, their battlefield must be in the most dangerous place. This is where their honor and value lies, even if
Even if the whole army is wiped out, it will not be hesitant.
"Lord, don't worry. Since you left them in my hands, I will definitely help you build a steel lion." Dugu muttered silently.
There was still no progress on the battlefield. Dongbo's resistance was too tenacious. One person fell down, and someone immediately followed him. All those defending the city wall were regular troops from Dongbo. It was obvious that An Yongchang also understood the importance of the city wall.
, once the city wall is lost, it will be difficult for Dongbo to make a comeback.
"Commander, the Korean Navy invites you to fight."
"Goryeo Navy asks for a fight? Let them stand aside. With the elite of our Hetao army, we are already in a bitter fight. What's the use of letting them come? Will they disrupt our own position?" Dugu said disdainfully.
"Commander Du, do you look down on our Korean soldiers so much?" Fu Ruoshui said gloomily.
Dugu was shocked, when did Fu Ruoshui come to him? With his martial arts attainments, even if he was thinking about something just now and was a little distracted, Fu Ruoshui could easily approach him, which meant that her strength was no longer the same as his.
What a difference. It seems that this woman is really a martial arts prodigy.
Although he was thinking this in his mind, Dugu laughed: "The little princess is joking. The Korean Navy is a dragon in the water. In the era of Commander Fu, it can be said that it dominates the East China Sea, but the siege battle is not as good as the water dragon."
In battles, the places where navy officers and men can play a role are limited. Their combat effectiveness is difficult to guarantee. If the losses are too great, some people will inevitably say that we in Hetao deliberately consume the strength of friendly forces."
Fu Ruoshui frowned. Although he knew that this was Dugu's excuse, it was not unreasonable. But now that he had opened his mouth, Fu Ruoshui would not give in easily: "In this case, we might as well let our army go into battle."
"Little princess, are you kidding? There are 50,000 soldiers in Goryeo plus more than 10,000 rebels. Now there are only seven or eight thousand left, and all of them are injured. If I let them go into battle now, they will not be killed by the soldiers.
Will the spit star drown?" Dugu said with wide eyes.
Dugu didn't mind using Korean soldiers to fight as the vanguard, but the Korean soldiers who had been completely disabled now were unable to play the role of the vanguard at all. If they were to rush forward now, it would simply mean that they would die.
Even if the Goryeo soldiers died, Uncle Dugu would not feel sorry for him, but it would be difficult to explain to the soldiers. Besides, he led the Goryeo soldiers on the expedition to the East Japan to avenge them, not to let them come to die. If
If you die here, even if Fu Ruoshui is the witness, the impact will be quite bad.
Fu Ruoshui naturally knew what Dugu was thinking, so he glared at him and said, "Don't worry, Dushuai. I'm just leading some people to charge with the Hetao army, and I guarantee that I won't ruin your affairs. Dushuai, we are Korea."
The soldiers came to Dongwa just to avenge their past humiliation, and I hope you, Dushuai, can give us a chance."
Dugu hesitated: "Little princess, the Korean soldiers have proven their bravery and performed well in these days of battles. Now, they have paid a high price and have washed away the shame for your country. If
If we still let them go into battle now, then I am afraid that all the elites that you, Goryeo, have cultivated with great difficulty will be completely lost."
Fu Ruoshui smiled proudly: "Commander Du, please rest assured. Although the folk customs of Goryeo are weak, we still have a deep hatred against the Japanese. Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will fight to the death with the Japanese. Today, I am afraid that we will fight against the Japanese."
How could we miss the last battle? I beg the Commander-in-Chief to agree to our request in view of the desire for revenge of millions of our people in Goryeo."
After a pause, Fu Ruoshui continued: "As for the elites of Hundred Battles, they are all tempered on the battlefield. One day, when my lord conquers the foreign tribes beyond the Great Wall, Ruoshui will personally bring 100,000 Korean soldiers to accompany him."
Dugu patted his head. Fu Ruoshui had already reached this point. If he tried to shirk it again, it would be too unreasonable. He then said with a smile: "In that case, little princess, you go and select the soldiers first. But little princess, you
Remember, let’s leave some ground for the Korean soldiers.”
Fu Ruoshui took the order and left, Dugu shook his head, and finally just sighed. Gao Li, fortunately there are people like Fu Ruo Shui, otherwise, after the clan destroyed the Dongbo, Gao Li would probably be the next target to be wiped out by Hetao.
"Commander, the battle report from the front shows that our army has killed more than 30,000 people, but it has been unable to break through the opponent's defense line. The frontline generals ask the commander to make a decision."
The reports from the soldiers brought Dugu's mind back to the battlefield again.
Thirty thousand elite soldiers, which is not a small number for the Hetao Expeditionary Force of 400,000. And the total number of soldiers who died in Hetao before this was not that many.
Taking a deep breath, Dugu suddenly shouted: "Where are Xiong Chuzhao and Ning Bai!"
"My subordinate is here!" Two voices sounded from behind Dugu at the same time.
"You two are temporarily under the command of Commander Blood and Commander Xin respectively. Tell the two commanders that I hope they can take down the city wall within half an hour." Dugu shouted coldly, paused, and then said.
: "Instruct Li Xiao, Zhu Xigao, Jiang Shenzhou, Zhuo Qianping, Long Zhishan, Zhou Jilong, Zhu Shitan and others to lead the soldiers of their headquarters and follow behind the Blood Commander and the Du Commander to launch a fierce attack. If this battle fails, there will be no success."
"The cavalry? We are the cavalry?" Henghui, who worshiped the Falcon Legion, happened to be behind Dugu and couldn't help but ask.
"All the cavalry are dismounted, including the Fengwu Legion. Damn it, go all out and tell He Bugui and Fu Yishan that this is the last battle against the Japanese. As long as they are willing, they can all disembark and join the battle!" Dugu gritted his teeth.
shouted.
If we invest in troops one by one, we can only continue to fight a war of attrition. As a famous general, although he must have the consciousness to achieve the goal of killing ten thousand bones, Hetao has always believed that these ten thousand bones are the bones of the opponent. As for his own soldiers, naturally
The less damage there is, the better. Hetao has always been particularly shameless about dyeing one's military rank red with the blood of one's own soldiers.
After saying that, Dugu pulled out his Yanling Saber with a swipe and said to Song Zhong: "Assemble the soldiers and get ready to go!"
Accompanied by the rumbling drums of the river, hundreds of thousands of troops, under the control of their generals, slowly surrounded Nara City. Countless butter torches made crackling sparks and bursts, making the scene even more desolate.
The East Japanese side also discovered something unusual about the Loop. Drums were beating loudly in Nara City, and countless reserve soldiers quickly swarmed up the city wall. Under the light of the fire, Dugu even saw the expressions on the faces of the East Japanese soldiers. Some of them were excited, and some
Tragic and stirring, some expressionless, but more often fear and tragedy coexisted. They had all witnessed the massacre that the Hetao drove the Japanese people to carry out, and they knew very well that the best outcome would be if they fell into the hands of the Hetao.
It's just a quick death. In this case, it's better to risk it all.
In the siege battle just now, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao have not been dispatched. There are only two soldiers of the army. They are the only two heavy infantry armies of the White Tiger Army, and they are also used by Hetao to deal with the nomads outside the Great Wall.
The trump card. But now, Dugu is ready to let Dongwo learn the power of heavy infantry.
A shield 1.7 meters high and 70 centimeters wide, a 1.2 meter long iron spear, and thick armor that even covers the face, this is the configuration of the Hetao heavy infantry. Facing these steel-like monsters, Dong
The Japanese swords of the Japanese soldiers were of no use at all, and the tung oil and other fire-starting materials that were originally quite effective were all used up in the battle just now, and could not threaten the advance of the army in front at all.
Twenty thousand heavy infantry launched a fierce attack from both wings of the battlefield, and in the middle was the army led by Dugu himself. At the front of the heavy infantry, there was a naked Biao who was brandishing a huge weapon.
Fierce generals. Both of them are equally tough, equally unstoppable, and equally capable of killing people. Jun Okada, who is known as brave among the Japanese army, has strangled hundreds of people to death with his own arms.
The soldiers of the Qingfeng Empire waved the Japanese swords in their hands and attacked one of the men holding a double-edged battle axe. As a result, the other man split him into two pieces with just one blow of the axe.
Under the personal leadership of Xue Sha and Xin Ke, the Hetao army of 20,000, which was quite powerful in terms of combat strength and protective power, finally broke through Dongbo's defense line and finally rushed to the city wall.
The Eastern Japanese soldiers were anxious. The main reason why they had been able to persist until now was the existence of the city wall. Although the city wall had been filled into a gentle slope, the location was still somewhat advantageous. Even so, in the frontal battle, their losses were still
Higher than the soldiers in Hetao. If the soldiers in Hetao were allowed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, they would know what the result would be even if they thought about it on their knees.
In an instant, dozens of Japanese swords suddenly appeared in front of Xue Sha, who had just broken through the East Japanese defense line. All the Japanese were gnashing their teeth and slashing at him viciously.
Faced with such a situation, Blood Kill was not afraid, and he did not retreat even an inch. The butcher's knife in his hand was slashing from left to right, and the butcher's knife was waved in a weatherproof way. In just an instant, he had already fallen on his feet.
More than ten Japanese soldiers.
And Xingke was not to be outdone. He smashed the Dongwa defense line almost at the same time as Xue Sha. With his double-edged battle ax slashing horizontally and vertically, no one was his enemy. And behind him,
Seeing this, the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion hurriedly rushed out from behind him, waving their weapons and joining the battle group. With the spears in their hands, they quickly attacked to seize a new breakthrough point.
With the bloody killings and the stabilization of the letter engraved on both wings, the gap in the Eastern Japanese Army's defense line became wider and wider, like a sandbag, the loopholes continued to increase, and eventually it was out of control.
"Xue Shuai and Xin Shuai are indeed brave enough." During the melee, Zhou Jilong glanced at both sides of Xue Sha and Xin Ke inadvertently, and couldn't help but praise loudly. But his voice was a little muddy, mainly in the afternoon.
When Shiki broke out from Edo Castle, a burning beam hit the side of his face, leaving a scar at the corner of his mouth.
But looking at Dugu Yuming, who was just one step ahead of him, wielding a wild goose feather sword in the wind, with blood splashing everywhere he passed, Zhou Jilong couldn't help but praise: "But our eldest brother is not bad either."
"You're talking nonsense, keep up!" At this time, Dugu could actually hear Zhou Jilong talking to himself, which had to surprise Zhou Jilong.
The Hetao army on both wings has stabilized its defense line and begun to spread towards the center. The Chinese army led by Dugu himself is also slowly advancing with an unstoppable momentum. Hundreds of thousands of elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles, the entire China and even
The most outstanding generals in the Eastern Continent were not comparable to those of the Eastern Japanese. Soon, the Eastern Japanese's defense line was riddled with holes.
An Yongchang and Watanabe Shimota were shocked. They had never expected that the combat effectiveness of the Hetao could be so strong. Facing the attack of the Hetao, the only thing they could do was to mobilize the elites on the left and right to snipe hard. Whether it was An Yongchang or Watanabe Shimota.
Both Yongchang and Watanabe Shimo knew that once Hetao occupied the city wall, the Japanese would have no geographical advantage at all, and Hetao, with high morale, could easily destroy Nara Castle by just advancing steadily.
At the critical moment, Dekang, the leader of the Eastern Japanese Kingdom, led the most elite kingdom guard to rush to the city wall. Following him were dozens of his sons and almost all the royal relatives of the Eastern Japanese Empire.
They were also completely willing to give up. However, Dongbo was ultimately disappointed. Even if they put in all their most elite soldiers, they still could not stop the progress of the Hetao soldiers.
"Idiot, the front of the city wall is only so wide. Our hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao have to attack the city from three sides. Your territory on the inside is even smaller. You actually pulled all the troops up the city wall. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for yourself?" Dugu
After noticing the situation of Dongwa's troops forming up, he couldn't help but sneer.
The army of more than 300,000 in Hetao launched fierce attacks from the south, west and north of Nara respectively. However, even so, it was impossible to invest all the troops. After all, the width of the city wall of Dongbo was really limited. And the Dongwa side added new recruits in the later period.
The soldiers, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and a large number of civilians, actually all rushed towards the city wall. There was no room for so many people on the city wall, and it would easily cause chaos on their own side.
Sure enough, there were more and more Japanese soldiers on the city wall, and they were becoming more and more crowded. Except for the soldiers at the front, the soldiers at the back didn't even have a chance to wave their weapons. They were all piled up secretly. This was really convenient.
The crossbowmen in Hetao monitor the air at a 45-degree deflection angle, and there is no need to aim. When an arrow is fired, it will definitely not miss.
At this time, a burst of cheers from the Hetao soldiers suddenly came from the battlefield. Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look in the direction of the cheers. As a result, they saw the flags flying on the tower, and the sunrise Donghai flag of Dongbo.
It has been seen, and it is replaced by the iron-blooded mountain and river flag of Hetao. The ownership of the city tower has been revealed in the wind of the flag waving in the wind.
