In the afternoon, the offensive and defensive battle of Rongdu began.
Wang He's troops were responsible for the feint attack at the east gate. Because Xirong's defense was coordinated by two fronts in the southeast, the feint attack here could effectively contain some of its troops and break their battlefield maneuvers.
After the war broke out on the Eastern Front, Goldman Sachs was responsible for the main attack on the South Gate.
At the same time, Xu Rong attacked the western suburbs and destroyed the military stronghold of the Western Rong soldiers outside Rongdu.
Su Yi marched in three directions and clearly arranged the war in Rongdu. From the overall battle situation, the Qin army was in an absolute advantage. The fall of any one of the three places would directly lead to the destruction of Rongdu.
But this critical battle was the most intense ever fought between Qin and Xirong.
For the Qin army, this was the last fatal blow to Xirong, and needless to say, morale.
On the Xirong side, it was more like a battle to defend the capital, and the king of Xirong was impassioned on the surface, vowing to advance and retreat with all the soldiers, which greatly improved the morale of the front line. Under the mobilization of Zhekang and other generals, the Xirong soldiers also gave up. life and death.
One side wants to avenge a sea of blood and completely eliminate foreign troubles, while the other side wants to defend the last place and would rather die than surrender.
There are ladders erected everywhere on the entire city defense, and on them are a series of Qin soldiers, advancing one after another.
Arrows from both sides shot wildly back and forth in the sky.
Falling rocks and rolling trees fell from time to time.
Cries of death and screams filled the entire battlefield.
On the ladder, a Qin army soldier was not afraid of death. He still had a random arrow stuck in his body, but he roared, ignored it, jumped onto the city defense, and struck a Xirong soldier on the shoulder with a fierce knife.
The blade touched the bone, and amid the blood splashing, the Xirong soldier screamed out, his eyes widened, his beard and hair spread out, but he rushed towards the Qin army. The two of them hit the city head together and fell to the bottom of the city...
This was just a corner of the battlefield. Although the Qin army was brave and adept at fighting and displayed an indomitable momentum, the Xirong soldiers also showed unprecedented combat power in the final defensive battle.
The brutality of this battle can also be seen from the inside.
The Xirong soldiers on the front line were fighting bloody battles, but inside the capital, the Xirong King had already started running away.
The city must be guarded and the army cannot break it for the time being. Otherwise, he will have no time to escape. This is why he sacrificed the last four thousand soldiers.
At the west gate.
King Xirong looked somewhat panicked. He did not dare to act openly. Instead, he disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and hid in the chaos.
Because he has inspired the frontline soldiers, the reason why the Xirong soldiers fought desperately is inseparable from him. Once he knows this, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse instantly, and it will be impossible to hold on to Rongdu.
The secret evacuation route and all matters had been arranged long ago. After successfully escaping from Rongdu, King Xirong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked: "How long will it take for us to reach Wushi?"
In order to be secretive, he did not take many of his escape followers with him, but they were all his confidants. A civil servant immediately returned: "If we hurry up, we can arrive in three to five days."
"Yes." King Xirong nodded, still holding on to his last fantasy: "When we get to Wushi, we will hibernate and look for opportunities. Sooner or later we can make a comeback."
In his mind, Wuzhi has always been obedient and will definitely cover his continued escape.
After saying this, he couldn't help but said: "I hope the warriors in Rongdu can hold on for another three days, otherwise, the Qin cavalry may catch up with us..."
In order to survive, he decisively sold the soldiers who guarded him in the end, without any trace of guilt.
The Xirong soldiers on the front line thought that their king was in the capital, advancing, retreating, and living and dying with them.
Although its military strength is insufficient, with the support of this belief, its combat power has greatly increased, and it can be said that it has a life-threatening posture.
Although the Qin army's offensive was fierce, it was impossible to quickly break through the city when the opponent resisted desperately.
After two days of fierce fighting.
The Qin Army's frontline command post.
Inside the tent, Su Yi was still staring at the sand table, thinking about the next military deployment.
The coach is sitting in command, and he is fully aware of the entire battlefield situation.
The battle situation in various places will also be reported as soon as possible.
At present, the containment on the eastern front is not perfect. The main attack on the south gate has also encountered great resistance. The key point lies in the stronghold in the western suburbs.
If you capture it, the situation in Xirong will take a turn for the worse, and your own tactical arrangements will become more flexible.
Not long after, a young general from the Qin Army walked in quickly, with some blood stains on his face. He knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Su, the western suburbs have been unable to be captured for a long time. General Xu Rong is asking for additional troops."
"I no longer have the troops to reinforce him!" Su Yi said with a cold face: "The enemy stronghold in the western suburbs only has more than a thousand troops, but they have been fighting for two days and they haven't taken it yet!"
At this point, he pointed at the young general and shouted loudly: "They say that your Third Infantry Army is brave and good at fighting, and is always the first to defeat the enemy. From my point of view, this is bullshit! Can you still fight? If you can't fight, give it to you. I’m going home to feed myself!”
This is obviously exciting.
The young general was affiliated with the Third Infantry Army. After hearing this, his face immediately turned red and he shouted sternly: "Commander Su!"
Su Yi interrupted him: "Tell Xu Rong! Tomorrow, the last day, if we can't take the western suburbs, I will immediately remove him from his post! Your Third Infantry Army doesn't need to participate in the war!"
"Please don't worry, Su Shuai!" The young general hugged his fist hard.
After he left, counselor Tian Shu couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that in the battle of Rongdu, the Xirong soldiers resisted so tenaciously. This has exceeded their previous combat strength. For our soldiers, this battle is extremely difficult. ."
"The trapped beast is still fighting." Su Yi shook his head slightly and said sternly: "No matter what, the western suburbs must be captured, otherwise, it will not be a fatal blow to Rongdu, and the King of Xirong is very likely to flee westward. Our The interception route is also blocked by this stronghold.”
"Yes." Professor Tian nodded in agreement: "Next, it's up to General Xu Rong to break the western front and make full use of it."
Now even the soldiers of Xirong themselves don't know that King Xirong has escaped, and the Qin army is even less likely to know.
For Su Yi, whether it was to conquer Rongdu or intercept the King of Xirong, the western suburbs were the top priority.
And his military order was passed to the Third Infantry Army, and the effect of stimulating the generals also raised morale to its peak again.
The Western Front.
Xu Rong is making the final mobilization before the war.
His armor was soaked with blood, he put his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, faced all the Qin soldiers, and said in a loud voice:
"Our brothers in the Third Infantry Army! What kind of tough battles have we never fought?"
"On the battlefield, you are always the first to defeat the enemy! You are invincible! The enemies you defeat are frightened!"
"But Commander Su said that we are afraid of the enemy! We can't fight a decent battle! It's a disgrace to the Qin army!"
"Soldiers!"
"Show off the momentum of our Third Infantry Army! Break through the enemy's defense line!"
"Let them understand! We, the Third Infantry Army, are not some weaklings! We are the true warriors of tigers and wolves!"
