Chapter 244 - Frustrated(1/2)
Lei Wujie waved the military flag.
An army of 150,000 servants stood ready. After receiving the order, they marched towards Qingluan City in a mighty manner.
"Brother Yi, the coalition forces have suppressed all the servants." Luo Ya frowned.
"As expected." Yu Yi nodded and said, "Don't stop the artillery and musketeers. We must try our best to kill as many enemies as possible before they climb up the city wall."
"clear."
This was the first time Yundie had seen a modern thermal weapon war, and her eyes were a little dull.
The power of artillery and muskets was beyond her imagination.
Being accustomed to traditional cold weapon warfare, she was a little confused for a while.
If the number of muskets can equip 100,000 defenders, why should we fear 600,000 tribal coalition forces?
Bai Xiaomeng has experienced the war against the Black Wolf tribe.
That was a battle involving only a few thousand people, and it was completely incomparable to the large-scale wars involving hundreds of thousands of people before us.
Kitten Girl was also shocked by the cruel war.
This was not the first time Luo Ya had commanded a large-scale war, and he already knew it well.
He is also calm and relaxed in commanding.
The servant army's engineering vehicles, crash trucks, columbians, bed crossbows and other heavy equipment were taken care of by the artillery.
A large number of siege engines were hit by artillery fire and exploded into pieces.
The siege equipment attracted firepower to a certain extent, reducing the casualties of the servant army.
The siege equipment was destroyed, and the servant army could only use simple ladders to siege the city.
Under Yundie's command, the defenders picked up the thunder stones and rolling logs piled on the city wall and threw them at the climbing servants.
A large number of servant soldiers were beaten until their brains burst and they died miserably.
The burning kerosene poured down from the city wall, making the servant soldiers' lives worse than death.
The servant army attacked one after another and finally rushed to the city wall.
The two armies were in close combat.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat begins.
Yu Yi frowned and said, "We still have too few artillery and muskets."
Luo Ya agreed: "Brother Yi is right. If there are enough new weapons, the servant army will not be able to reach the bottom of the city wall and will be wiped out."
The hand-to-hand combat did not last long.
The signal for the coalition forces to retreat was sounded.
The servant army retreated like a tide.
Bodies were left all over the city wall.
The first battle between the two armies came to an end.
The servant army lost a total of more than 60,000 people.
The defenders of Qingluan City were also in a bad mood, losing nearly ten thousand people.
Although the loss ratio between the offensive and defensive sides exceeded 6:1, it did not mean that Qingluan City could sit back and relax.
The coalition army still has 400,000 elite soldiers untouched, and its combat power is several levels higher than that of the servant army.
Including the remaining 140,000 servants, there are still a total of 540,000, while the Qingluan City defenders only have 100,000 left.
This battle is not easy to fight.
According to normal war procedures, even if you win, your vitality will be severely damaged.
"Haha, the servant army finally retreated, meow~." Bai Xiaomeng jumped up and down excitedly.
Yu Yi shook his head: "Don't be too happy, I'm afraid you won't just be a servant next time."
…
In the coalition camp.
"Asshole, Qingluan City relies on the convenience of weapons, our losses are too great." Lei Wujie cursed in a low voice.
Hu Liuxiang sighed: "Alas...who would have thought that Mr. Yu could come up with a powerful new weapon?
Fortunately, they don't have many new weapons, otherwise we wouldn't have to fight them."
"We have to find a way to reduce the losses. If the coalition forces suffer too much losses, I'm afraid it will arouse the covetousness of other tribes."
"That's absolutely true."
…
In today's first battle, neither side took advantage.
Everyone knows that tomorrow will usher in a more brutal offensive and defensive battle.
That night, the coalition forces did not attack the city at night.
The defenders of Qingluan City did not attack the coalition camp at night.
Both parties are at peace with each other.
The next day.
After breakfast, under the order of Hu Liuxiang, the entire army of 140,000 servants attacked.
After yesterday's test, the servant army already knew how powerful the Qingluan City defenders were.
They advance very quickly to avoid being continuously killed by artillery and other weapons.
Facing the army's pressure, the artillery troops and musketeers on the city wall took turns to go into battle.
Other defensive equipment that was not used yesterday also joined the battlefield.
Catapults, crossbows and other powerful weapons were fired one after another to make up for the lack of artillery.
Yundie waved his hand: "Prepare the trebuchet, place the wine jar, light the torch and start dropping bombs at the servant army outside the city."??
The soldiers of the trebuchet are already familiar with this and their movements are orderly.??
Hundreds of flaming wine jars of various sizes flew out from the city wall and crashed into the camp of the servant army.??
The wine jar fell to the ground, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the fire exploded.??
The servant soldiers kept screaming and slapping the fire on their bodies.??
The burning fire not only cannot be extinguished by slapping it, but will start to burn immediately if touched.??
Some people who want to support their comrades also end up getting burned.??
The soldiers looked at their burning and screaming comrades and couldn't avoid it. They retreated one after another, and the formation became completely broken.??
These wine jars were filled with strong liquor and added with kerosene.
Yu Yi asked Luan Fengyi to recruit all the wine shops in the city to collect the required spirits.
Hundreds of wine jars flew out from the city wall again, just like before, burning among the servants.??
Luo Ya looked at the soldiers struggling in the sea of fire, a trace of unbearability flashed in her beautiful eyes.????
The sea of fire burning all over the sky burned fiercely and disappeared quickly.??
At some point, there was a burning smell everywhere, which was very pungent.??
Facing multiple attacks from artillery, trebuchets, crossbows, and muskets, the servant army was also stunned.
"The servant army continues to attack, and those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy."??
Hu Liuxiang swallowed her saliva and gave a stern order.??
"Let the violent bear army and dragon and wolf army press the border."??
More than 400,000 elite coalition troops followed behind the servant army in mighty force.
The rumble of war drums came, followed by the continuous sound of horns.??
The coalition forces of the two ethnic groups almost came out in full force.
Yundie's scalp was numb and he said: "Mr. Yu, the final decisive battle has begun. The enemy's entire army is attacking, and we may not be able to hold on."??
"Don't worry, everything is under control." Yu Yi waved his hand.
Wait until all 540,000 troops enter the battlefield and approach the city wall.
????Yu Yi looked at Luo Ya and said: "Xiaoya, fire the signal bomb."??
"Yes, Brother Yi."
Luo Ya quickly pulled the lead, and a flash of light pierced the sky, and beautiful flowers bloomed.??
The weeds beside a small mound outside the city started to move, and a soldier who had been waiting for a long time lit the fuse in his hand.??
To be continued...
