There are the armies of the Yi Kingdom in front of them, and the many wavering people of the Feng Kingdom behind them. The Star Army has found out about the secret contacts between those local forces. Lan Xu had discussed this issue with the generals earlier.
Now that the two armies are officially fighting, the rear issue has become a risk that cannot be ignored. Without his side having the advantage, Lan Xu gradually feels like he is not caring about the front or rear, as if his star army has lost all retreat.
"Boom," a particularly heavy sound came, shocking Lan Xu's heart again. As expected, the Yijun had already begun to break through the city gate.
Unlike when Feng Jun defended Aolan Pass and blocked the back of the city gate, there were only some pillars behind the city gate in front of them. Once the gate was broken, Yi Jun could rush in smoothly and attack from above and below at the same time. It will be difficult for the Star Army to withstand the Yi Army's sharp edge, so before considering the method of defeating the Yi Army, Lan Xu felt that the enemy must not be allowed to break through the city gate in advance, otherwise the situation will develop beyond their control.
"General Zhang, send people quickly to seal the city gate. We must ensure that the enemy cannot enter the city through the gate in a short period of time." Without further ado, Lan Xu immediately ordered Zhang Bingdao, who was on standby, to arrange personnel to reinforce the city gate.
"General, if we block the city gate, how will our army get out of the city to pursue the enemy when they retreat?" Before Zhang could respond boldly, Lan Xu's order confused the generals. Earlier, they had not blocked the city gate. It was considered that after the Yi army failed to attack the city, they could go out of the city to pursue the Yi army.
"Until the situation on the city improves, the city gate must not be breached by the enemy, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." After a brief explanation, Lan Xu looked at Zhang Bingdao again: "Execute immediately."
"Yes," Zhang agreed, no longer thinking about it, and immediately executed the military order?
"General, the current Yi army has only attacked our city and has no tendency to defeat our army. Why is the general so cautious?" After Zhang boldly left, another general asked.
"The general has his own reasons. Just wait and act as ordered." Lan Xu didn't have time to explain in detail to his subordinates, so he looked towards the city again.
"Report, the number of wing troops on the city is increasing, and our army has suffered heavy casualties." At this moment, another herald came to report the battle situation.
"Is Yi Jun really that powerful?" Yan Nantian asked first before Lan Xu could speak.
"The Yi army is not afraid of death and is extremely fierce. It is difficult for our army to defeat them." Not daring to neglect, the herald quickly told the specific information that the general in the city wanted him to bring.
"Strange, is Yi Jun really that powerful?" Seeing that the herald said that Yi Jun was extremely powerful, Yan Nantian's face became even more suspicious.
"It's not that the Yi army is powerful, it's that the roads in the city are blocked and it's difficult for our army to reinforce in time." The situation the herald said was in line with his guess. After pointing out the problem, Lan Xu felt more and more that it was difficult for the Star army to operate normally in the city. The moving issue needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
In addition, in his opinion, the Yi army was well-trained, but after all, it was the first time that the Yi army had participated in a real war. It was impossible for everyone in the army to be so brave, not to mention that they were facing Xing who had never suffered a defeat before. Army, then the only explanation is that the Star Army was unable to exert its combat power, allowing the Yi Army to take advantage of the loophole, which made the Yi Army's performance even more brave.
Based on the situations he had just considered, Lan Xu realized more and more clearly that the various siege methods in front of the Yi Army were all intended to disrupt their deployment and make it difficult for the Star Army to exert its combat power.
Not only that, the enemy's siege strategy also reversed the morale of the two armies. The rapid defeat of the Star Army on the city is naturally related to the decline in morale. If this continues, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for them. It is obvious that blocking the offensive of the Yi Army It is a problem that they urgently need to solve, and they cannot delay it for a moment.
"General, why can't our army defeat the enemy? Could it be that those wing troops are really not afraid of death?" Lan Xu's explanation was not clear enough, and some generals still couldn't understand the key.
"General Shi, how can you belittle yourself at this critical moment? Do you think our army cannot defeat the enemy?" Then, before Lan Xu could speak, the Star Army generals began to argue.
"No, I just can't figure it out," was questioned by another general. The general named Shi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and then defended himself.
"General, in your opinion, what should our army do?" The situation was urgent, and those generals who had suffered huge losses rushed to Lan Xu for advice.
"Pass my military order and ask the defenders on the city to defend the city wall to the death. No one of the wing troops can be allowed to come down." Looking straight at the slope on the other side of the city wall, Lan Xu showed a look of calm and self-confidence on his face: "Arrange personnel Climb the city directly from the slope and support the weakly defended areas of the city as soon as possible.”
Different from the normal city wall, the city wall of Windless City is not a high wall on both sides. The side close to the city is a slope. The slope is relatively steep, but it is still a way to climb the city. In order to support the defenders on the city as soon as possible, Lan Xu can only arrange this.
"Yes." Immediately afterwards, the messenger turned around and took a look. After he understood what Lan Xu meant, he went back to deliver the order.
"General Yan, take charge of this matter." As soon as the herald left, to ensure that the military order was carried out accurately, Lan Xu looked directly at Yan Nantian who was standing by.
"Yes," Yan Nantian agreed, and he did not dare to neglect. Even though he could not understand why Lan Xu was so cautious, he still carried out the military order immediately.
After Yan Nantian left, Lan Xu felt at ease. The two armies had not been fighting for a long time, and the situation on the battlefield was constantly changing. He knew that the current situation could not determine the outcome of this war, but he also knew that the Star Army needed to win. If they show some real skills, they cannot be kept at a disadvantage by the enemy, otherwise their chances of winning will become smaller and smaller.
When Lan Xu was thinking like this, the Star Army and the Yi Army were fighting inextricably on the city. The Yi Army kept climbing the ladder to climb the city. There was no obstruction from the Star Army. The Yi Army only used up a little energy when climbing the ladder. There was no need to worry about being attacked by rolling logs and stones. Most of the things originally used by the Star Army to defend the city were not used. They were piled up on the city several meters wide and took up a lot of space. Of course, it had an impact on both armies.
Because the fighting place is too narrow, a layer of corpses has been laid on the ground. Judging from the clothing, the number of the two armies is about half. The difference is that the momentum of the Yi Army is getting stronger as they fight. However, due to the uneven distribution of the Yi Army, the Yi Army on the city is still temporarily Unable to determine the development of the situation.
Different from the Yi Army, although the Star Army is currently much inferior to the Yi Army in terms of momentum, they have become accustomed to this kind of chaotic scene. They attack in groups of twos and threes, killing the enemy very efficiently, and relatively speaking, there are fewer casualties.
As the number of wing troops on the city increased, the competition between the two sides in terms of generals became less and less. There was no room for the generals to relax in the city. Many times, those generals could only direct battles among the crowd.
As more and more figures were fighting, the sound of fierce fighting on the long city wall became louder and louder. Those wing soldiers wearing black armor frequently appeared in the eyes of the Star Army below the city. Since they had not received the order to join the battle, many Star Army were in an anxious mood. I really want to go up and slaughter all the enemy soldiers in cross-dressing.
The long wait has also sapped their energy, but fortunately, the impact of the Yi army's use of siege vehicles to attack the city has been greatly reduced. The original fear is not as strong as before as time goes by. Now those star troops are Both nervous and calm.
"General Li, you bring a group of soldiers to the city for General Yan to dispatch." Not long after, seeing that Yan Nantian had ordered people to climb the city from the slope, Lan Xu ordered another group of soldiers to be sent to the city to stand by.
"Yes," he agreed, and General Li directly took out five thousand personnel from the main force of the Star Army and went to the city to stand by.
Counting the original 10,000 vanguard personnel, the number of Star Army participants has reached 15,000, which is not too much compared to the total strength of the Star Army. The next step will be to see the performance of those Star Army.
"Come on," the star troops who climbed up the slope could not wait until they finally had the chance to take the field. Even though their way to the city was difficult, they couldn't help shouting out loud because of their excitement, which immediately caused a resonance.
Those shouts also emboldened the Star Army fighting on the city. When they discovered that their reinforcements were coming up the slope, many of the Star Army who were still struggling to hold on instantly gained the courage to resist the wing army, and were convinced by the way their companions climbed the city. After being surprised, each one of them burst out with far more strength than before, as if they were strongly stimulated, and assassinated Yijun one after another with their guns.
Not long after, the Star Army who had boarded the city from all over cleared the Yi Army from the city while blocking the Yi Army from continuing to climb the city. The newly arrived Star Army were not as afraid of the Yi Army as the original Star Army on the city. They just wanted to fight bravely. Killing enemies, new and old grudges are added together, now that there is a chance to kill Yi Jun, he kills people one by one without any mercy at all.
In terms of fighting skills, the Star Army was obviously better than the Yi Army. The originally ordinary spears became sharp weapons in their hands. With the cooperation of twos and threes, they killed all the Yi Army in one go.
