"Having said that, Tang is worried that the Star Army will fight to the death with our army. After all, our military strength is far inferior to theirs." In Tang Jinjian's view, Zhang Yuangang's statement made some sense, but it did not reassure him.
"Sir, why should you worry? As long as the city gate is not broken, the Star Army's cavalry will naturally be unable to attack. No matter how many Star Army infantry climb onto the city, it will be useless." After all, he is an eighth-level martial arts cultivator and a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Let's give a brief analysis. Under the current situation, Zhang Yuangang's mood became calmer and calmer.
But after calming down, he was still a little helpless. The decision to defend the city yesterday was due to the joint decision of the clan's senior leaders. Now that the clan members are not around, no one can give him further advice, and he can't tell Tang Jin Jianming about his worries. Not only that, he also had to work hard to make the other person feel at ease. As a result, he really felt very tired.
In addition, in his opinion, except for having a higher status than him, Tang Jinjian was useless in other aspects. Not only did he lack independent opinions, but he also doubted him many times and affected his decision-making. Thinking about it now, Zhang Yuangang could not even understand how Tang Jinjian could hold the position. "Joining the army" position, if he had known that the other party was so unbearable, maybe he would not have taken over the position of marshal.
Apart from being angry, Zhang Yuangang also thought that if he were not the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he might be able to think of a strategy to fight against the Star Army more quickly at this moment. However, the pressure he was under now was too great. Apart from letting his own soldiers resist tenaciously, he could not think of any other better way.
At the same time, after Zhang Yuangang comforted him twice, Tang Jinjian could only force himself to feel relieved. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he still didn't trust Zhang Yuangang enough. Thinking about his own shortcomings, even though there were thousands of words in his heart, he still couldn't It was better to say it before, so as not to annoy Zhang Yuangang and affect Zhang Yuangang's judgment. The atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious, and for a while, neither of them spoke anymore.
Outside the main hall, several generals who had just left had joined the battle. Their targets were naturally the high-level martial arts cultivators in the Star Army. The narrow city road was littered with corpses, belonging to both sides, and it was impossible to tell how many were killed or injured on each side.
In the past time, more Star Troopers climbed up the city wall through ladders, because the Phoenix Army above could no longer defend the city with rolling logs and stones. The Star Troops below who were waiting to go up to the city were all excited and scrambling. Climb the wall.
Because Lan Wu's determination to attack the city was obvious, the morale of the Star Army was still there, and the anger they had accumulated previously, the Feng Army directly became the target of their anger. In order to climb the city wall as soon as possible, each Star Army moved forward bravely, fearing that it would be too late. Feng Jun was killed by others as soon as he took one step up.
After those generals took the lead, the morale of the Star Army was getting higher and higher. They were still waiting for the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion and Arrow Battalion to participate in the battle, all gearing up, just waiting for the moment when the city gate was opened.
Even though the city gate has not yet been opened, some of them already want to climb over the city wall. Even if losing their mounts will reduce the combat effectiveness of those cavalry, those people still don't want to endure the pain of waiting for a long time. Besides, many cavalry have already been defeated by the war. The intense scenes are contagious, and everyone has a feeling of blood boiling.
Now that our own soldiers have reached the city, nothing can scare them anymore. The morale of the Star Army has been repeatedly frustrated before, but now the morale of the Star Army is steadily improving.
After the siege made significant progress, some of the generals who had been left behind by Lan Wutong had calm and natural expressions, while others had excited expressions. The current situation was exactly what they had expected.
Speaking of which, many generals did not expect that the battle situation would change so drastically not long after Lan Wucai issued the order to persist in the siege. For a time, those generals admired Lan Wu endlessly, and Lan Wu's ability was fully recognized by them.
"Driving," Lan Xu rode his horse over the crowd while a group of generals silently praised Lan Wu for his brilliance and prowess: "Commander Qi, the obstruction behind the city gate has almost been cleared, and it will take some time before it can be completely cleared."
"At all costs, break the city gate as soon as possible." After the situation on the city opened up, Lan Wu now considered the situation behind the city gate. Not surprisingly, there must be a large number of enemy troops waiting for them behind the city. It is difficult for the star army on the city to play its role. Breaking the city gate and allowing the cavalry to enter the city is still a top priority. If the cavalry cannot exert its power, they will still be in a hard battle. Even if they win in the end, it will only be a battle. A miserable victory. From front to back, Lan Wu's siege ideas were always very clear.
"Marshal, what is the situation of our army?" Lan Xu has been commanding the soldiers to break down the city gate. Lan Xu rarely has the opportunity to pay attention to the situation on the city. Even if he can see some, it is difficult for him to determine what the current situation is.
"Victory is certain, but whether we can win a big victory depends on whether you can break through the city gate as soon as possible," at the end, Lan Wu suddenly emphasized his tone, as if he was placing all his hopes of victory on the city gate.
"General, I understand," according to Lan Wu's tone, Lan Xu immediately realized the importance of breaking through the city gate, agreed, and then drove his horse towards the city.
When the generals saw Lan Xu leaving, many of them looked puzzled. They still didn't know why Lan Wu considered breaching the city gate so important. In their opinion, the Star Army could already capture Aolan Pass through the city wall.
"Marshal, is it possible that our army will be defeated?" Out of doubt, a general asked with a frown.
"No, it's just the difference between a small victory and a big victory," Lan Wu responded simply, shaking his head.
"Marshal, you mean that once the city gate is breached, our army will be able to defeat the enemy?" Then, another general asked with confusion.
"That's right," Lan Wu's expression remained unchanged, Lan Wu's attention was still directed towards the city gate.
Lan Wu's answer was concise and clear, and his words showed an undoubted meaning. After hearing this, the generals were relieved one by one and had no doubts about Lan Wu's statement. When they thought about the upcoming victory of their star army, they became more and more convinced. Be happy.
"Marshal, when can our cavalry soldiers attack?"
"Marshal, when can the sergeants of my Arrow Battalion attack?"
Immediately afterwards, the two generals of the cavalry camp and the arrow camp asked Lan Wu for instructions one after another. The overall situation was decided. The two only hoped to go to war as soon as possible and make many military exploits. After the two generals asked Lan Wu for instructions, the other generals began to Looking towards Lan Wu, he was afraid that Lan Wu would ignore them when giving orders.
The counterattack has begun, and now is a good opportunity for them to be the first to make a contribution. If they can get some enemy generals' heads back, it will be a great achievement. Those generals cannot let the credit be taken away by the infantry and battalions if they wait for a long time.
But having said that, the two armies have been fighting so far, and the cavalry soldiers have not been able to play any role. The city gate has not been broken open yet, and they still have no chance to fight. The two generals asked questions in advance, which also highlights their eagerness to fight.
Regarding the question of when the two battalions of soldiers can join the battle, Lan Wu has his own considerations. They have a large number of infantry, but the fighting area above the city is extremely narrow. It will take some time to break down the enemy's resistance and reach the bottom of the city. The key now is It is still necessary to break open the city gate as soon as possible. Only in this way can the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion and the Arrow Battalion fully participate in the battle, thus truly giving full play to their advantages.
"When the city gate is broken open, that's the moment you are waiting for the battle." As for the specific time of the battle, it still needs to be determined according to the situation at the city gate. Lan Wu can only answer the generals this way now.
After Lan Wu once again emphasized the importance of breaking through the city gate, some generals had already thought of what Lan Wu had just said about the difference between a big victory and a small victory. They all looked in the direction of the city gate involuntarily, hoping that Lan Xu could break through the city as soon as possible. Door.
As for the Feng Army, in the main hall, Zhang Yuangang thought for a moment and then continued to order the deployment of troops from the city to resist the Star Army's attack. Even if he exhausted all the soldiers in the city, he would never let the Star Army pass today.
In addition, the current battle situation is too chaotic and it is impossible to count the number of participants on both sides. Zhang Yuangang does not know how many Star Army troops there are on the city, let alone how many Star Army troops are waiting below the city. The only thing he knows is that they must block the Star Army. army's attack.
The chaotic situation had an impact on his formulation of countermeasures. In the past period of time, he had notified those heralds to report the battle situation in a timely manner.
At the same time, Tang Jinjian had personally gone outside the palace to pay attention to the battle situation. The battle on the city was very fierce. There were roaring shouts of killing from both sides. Amidst the splashing blood, soldiers from both sides fell one after another. By this time, the Star Army had already fought. When they get close to the main hall, if they continue, they must retreat to the city to preside over the war.
As time passed, Tang Jinjian's worries became reality. When the Star Army generals showed their willingness to attack the city tower, Tang Jinjian and Zhang Yuangang were escorted by a group of Phoenix troops to the city.
After retreating to the middle of the defenders' array, Zhang Yuangang and Tang Jinjian saw that the two stairs leading up to the city on both sides of the city tower were filled with their people. Countless Phoenix troops were waiting to climb the city to fight. A large area of the city had been occupied by the Star Army. Already pushed to the stairs, they could see that their battle line was retracting towards the tower.
On the battle line that is more than a kilometer long, there are still many remaining figures of the Feng Army, but those Feng Army have fallen into an isolated and helpless situation, and finally died in despair at the hands of the Feng Army.
The Star Army was already crowded together, constantly pushing the Feng Army forward. At first, the Feng Army could resist due to their large numbers, but now they had no choice but to retreat again and again. Before long, the Feng Army on the city had retreated. Arrive at the entrance to the city and start pushing the Star Army down the city.
Fighting, fighting, the Feng Army at the front of the battle line found that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to them. They were on the stairs. Once there were casualties, the corpses would fall down, and the fallen corpses would affect their attack on the Star Army.
Sometimes in panic, many Feng soldiers died under the Star Army's guns before they could take action. Dealing with the Star Army from the bottom up slowed down their reaction speed. As a result, more and more Feng Army died at the hands of the Star Army. Here, the Xingjun standing above was occasionally affected by the corpses on the ground, but the situation was much better than that of the Fengjun.
Not long after, in the eyes of Tang Jinjian and Zhang Yuangang, the Star Army was attacking downwards on both stairs. From a distance, they could see the Star Army attacking Feng Army in an arc-shaped encirclement. The square formation is still maintained on the stairs. Even though the Feng Army's formation is very good, they still feel restricted in the face of the Star Army's pressing step by step.
As the Star Army continues to press down, the morale of the Feng Army is getting lower and lower, and internal chaos gradually occurs. Sometimes one person steps on the person next to or behind him, which may cause several Feng Army bodies to lose their balance. It is impossible to attack or defend for a short period of time, which brings many conveniences to the Star Army.
