At the same time, Ruan Qiling and a group of wing army generals watched their cavalry rushing into the city, and everyone thought that the battle in the city was going smoothly.
On the long city wall, not long after Ruan Qiling issued the order to fight to the death, the wing troops responsible for climbing the city learned that the city gate had been breached. They all immediately gained courage and stabilized their original defeat in the blink of an eye.
However, the Star Army was also ordered to fight to the death, and no one wanted to take the last step. The two armies once again fought fiercely for the city wall. The height of the corpses spread on the ground had reached the same level as the crenels. Everyone was fighting on the corpses. But when life and death are at stake, no one cares about this. Whether it is the Star Army or the Wing Army, everyone only has enemies in their eyes.
On the long city wall, screams were heard one after another, blood was spilled, spears were broken, and soldiers fell one after another. In the face of the cruel war, the martial arts skills that many soldiers learned in daily life were of no use at all, and everything was simple and practical.
In this regard, the soldiers of both sides have naturally received corresponding training, and now they are comparing whose fighting skills are more practical. Compared with the Yi Army, the Star Army, which has participated in several battles, is more agile and simple in its movements, with almost no People will cause trouble to themselves because of improper use of weapons. Cooperating with each other to kill enemies is extremely efficient. On the other hand, there are often situations in Yijun that bring danger to themselves due to lack of experience.
For example, sometimes their weapons get stuck in the bodies of the Star Troopers they kill and cannot be pulled out, resulting in their lives being lost. Or sometimes they only have one chance to take action, but they are unable to kill the enemy with one blow, and are killed by the enemy in return. , the Yi Army continued to pay a huge price for their little mistakes. On the contrary, the Star Army used those actual combat experiences to accumulate many advantages, thus greatly reducing its own casualties.
All the Star Army infantry left behind have participated in the battle. The battle line on the city has extended to more than a thousand meters long. Now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of corpses on the long city walls and slopes. Both sides in this war The amount of troops invested was too large.
It is worth mentioning that during the fierce battle between the Star Army and the Yi Army, some people from the Feng Kingdom were closely watching the battle. Some weak-minded people were frightened by the brutal war scene and did not dare to look too closely.
When they brought back the situation of the battle between the two armies and told it to others, those who learned the news frowned. It was completely conceivable that hundreds of thousands of troops would have no effort to destroy a city. Even if there are eighth-level martial arts cultivators in charge, it won't work.
The cruelty of the war made them deeply aware of the terror of the army. No matter which side it was, it was an invincible force for the people in Wufeng City. Even if the entire city united, they might not be able to resist.
It is worth mentioning that because the Ling family is the most powerful in Wufeng City, representatives of various families who came secretly from all over Feng Kingdom gathered in the Ling Mansion. Representatives of the Feng Kingdom royal family had already reached an agreement with them. If Yi Junruo To win, each of their families must contribute their own efforts to deal with the remaining Star Army together and prevent the Star Army from having a way out.
Although the family representatives had reached a consensus, when they learned that the two armies were fighting, they were still a little nervous. The war at the city gate was not over yet, and they had to wait for the opportunity.
The people in Wufeng City are also waiting for the war to end. Now the civilians in the city gather together in twos and threes, talking about what happened after the war. Most of the shops and inns have been closed, and the people are a little nervous, regardless of Whether it's eating, drinking, or lying down to rest, none of them can feel the usual comfort.
Unlike the representatives of those forces, the thoughts of those people are more complex, because no matter what the final outcome is, they will be in trouble, but their situation is closely related to the outcome of the war. This kind of helplessness is not something they have the ability to get rid of.
Time passed little by little, and after a lot of hard work, the Yijun generals in the city finally reported the fighting situation in the city to Ruan Qiling.
It turns out that the more our own cavalry entered, the more casualties they had. Not only were they unable to break through the Star Army's defense line from any position, they were not even able to advance the battle line. After learning the news, Ruan Qiling and the generals of the wing army rushed to defend their side. became worried about the situation,
There is even a feeling of miscalculation. Now it seems that the key to victory or defeat is not the number of people.
"Marshal, what should our army do now?" After being unable to attack for a long time, there was already a general beside the chariot who planned to withdraw his troops. Of course, before making a formal announcement, the general of the Yi Army wanted to see Ruan Qiling's opinion.
"Commander Rong, think about it," he made a wrong step. Maybe he shouldn't have let the cavalry fight against the enemy's main force just now. Now it's difficult to retreat.
If they forcefully retreat, the Star Army will definitely take this opportunity to shout that they are defeated. Then they will not only let the cavalry retreat, but also the wing troops on the city will have to retreat. Once the Star Army chooses to pursue, in this way, they still don’t know what to do. How many soldiers have been lost? More importantly, once the troops withdraw today, they will no longer be able to defeat the Star Army in the future.
In just a few breaths, Ruan Qiling thought of many questions. After realizing that the war was harder to fight than he imagined, there were only two questions left in his mind: whether the Yi Army should retreat or fight.
"Marshal, the enemy deliberately lured our army into the city. Our cavalry suffered heavy casualties. If we don't retreat immediately, the entire army may be annihilated." When Ruan Qiling could not make up his mind, a wounded general of the Yi Army rode on his horse. He came over in a panic to report on the battle situation.
"No need to panic," Ruan Qiling shouted angrily when seeing his subordinates so panicked.
"Yes, I am guilty." Realizing that his performance would affect others, the Yijun general immediately apologized to Ruan Qiling.
"I wonder which general is willing to lead troops into the city to help in the battle?" After much consideration, Ruan Qiling still felt that it was not time to withdraw his troops yet, so in order to reverse the defeat, he planned to send a few brave generals to help in the battle, which might change the situation.
"I will go there eventually."
…
There are hundreds of generals in the Yi Army. No matter which battalion they belong to, there are naturally many brave and powerful people among them. So as soon as Ruan Qiling said this, several generals immediately responded in succession.
"Okay, I will order you to lead another group of cavalry into the city. You must break through the enemy's defense line and advance the battle line smoothly. I will dispatch shield soldiers to support you. When the shield soldiers enter the city, the enemy will again No ability to resist," he immediately issued clear instructions. As for whether he could succeed, Ruan Qiling could only look forward to the performance of these generals.
In fact, during a battle between two armies, what often determines the outcome of the war is not how clever the commander-in-chief's strategy is, but how well the generals below can execute the commander-in-chief's orders. Therefore, it is the generals who participate in the war who truly guide the outcome of the war. The performance of those generals participating in the battle will inevitably affect the surrounding ordinary soldiers, thereby affecting the whole.
On the battlefield, if there are brave generals, there will be no cowardly soldiers. When two armies are fighting, soldiers are usually more willing to regard the actions of their generals as the best combat guidance.
In any case, after several Yi Army generals left, the remaining Yi Army generals understood Ruan Qiling's idea of continuing to fight, and no longer asked any more questions, just waiting for Ruan Qiling to issue new instructions. At the same time, Ruan Qiling was thinking No matter what, the Yi army cannot retreat today.
Because once the troops withdraw, unless they recruit reinforcements from the Yi Kingdom, they will lose the possibility of fighting the Star Army again, and their earlier efforts in uniting the Feng Kingdom royal family will be in vain, and his prestige in the military will also be greatly increased. Not only that, but re-preparing siege equipment will become a huge problem.
If they continue to attack, the Yi Army may suffer a lot of casualties in the end, but as long as they can achieve the final victory, everything will not be in vain, and all the sacrifices will become worthwhile. After thinking about it again and again, Ruan Qiling still wants to have a showdown with the Star Army.
Now the two sides are still fighting for the city wall. The battle line has extended from the city gate to a thousand meters on both sides. The Yi Army wants more soldiers to go to the city, while the Star Army wants to prevent the Yi Army from entering the city in all directions. Both sides come and go. The fight was brutal.
By now, all members of the Star Army have joined the battle. Whether they are outstanding cultivation geniuses like Zhang Jiutian or children of noble families like Bai Ye, without exception, everyone has joined the battle.
When there is a war, there will be death. In the past period, the Star Army also suffered many casualties. Because the Yi Army had more personnel on the enemy general side, the commanders of the Star Army often died at the hands of enemy generals, like Zhang Jiutian. It is also not easy for people who already have the ability to compete with seventh-level martial arts to survive. This war is a complete test for the middle-level people of the Star Army.
If they can survive in the end, they will have a harvest equal to the price they paid. If unfortunately they die on the battlefield, they will have made their due contribution to the Star Kingdom.
It had been some time since Lu Yunyou and the others had joined the war. Since they had to face more and more enemy soldiers, Lu Yunyou couldn't think about how many people he had killed.
The constant fighting also made him feel more and more that war is inhumane. Of course, this is true for both sides. Now is not the time to consider whether the war is right or wrong. The only way to survive is to sacrifice the enemy's life. Thinking this in his heart, Lu Yunyou's actions became more and more... Send fiercely.
