Chapter 147 Street Fighting
This was the first time Xia Fan saw a princess wearing military uniform.
Unlike the standard armor of Qiguo, Ning Wanjun's armor was obviously specially customized for her. It was only wrapped in a chest, metal armor on her shoulders and arms. The base was a white short robe, black cloth pants and a pair of high-pin deer leather boots.
If it is just like this, it can only be considered ordinary, and at most it is sacrificed for convenience.
But on her right shoulder, a bright red sleeved cloak robe made the armor lively and half sleeveless, half robe, with a single lapel straight from her chest to the belt at her waist, separating the wearer into two distinct red and white parts, the more dazzling it is.
Coupled with Ning Wanjun's dazzling spirit, Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the red-chieve meteorite.
If she rushed on the battlefield, the cloak that was swinging in the wind should be the same as the meteorite that opened the night, right?
Although it is too conspicuous and has certain safety risks, there is a risk in the princess herself, and dressing has become a trivial matter.
As the person who leads the team to charge, the more distinct the better.
The large army was divided into two groups after passing through the east gate. The 600 men led by Xu Sanchong turned to the southern city area, targeting the arsenal there. The princess led more than 1,500 men to head straight to the north, intending to seize the Jinxia granary before the enemy.
The last two hundred people were handed over to Zhao Dahai and Li Xing to command, with their main task being to evacuate the people of the city and place them in a temporary camp outside the city.
This is also the rough plan to respond to the enemy formulated by the short pre-war meeting.
The east city wall is farthest from the west, so it is no problem to hold it in your hands. As long as the south city district takes down the arsenal and distributes the powerful crossbows, spears and armor inside, it can greatly enhance the strength of the princess's troops, and the south city wall can naturally be protected.
Both the western wall and the north wall are within the attack range of the gunboat and are the part that can only be given up for the time being.
Therefore, the granary in the north became the top priority for seizing the city.
The enemy is coming across the sea, and the supply must be limited, so the best way is to obtain it on the spot.
In other words, as long as you can capture the granary, you can greatly damage the enemy's logistics.
Because of this, the team led by the princess is the largest number of people among the three troops and is also the main force of this battle.
"Report to Your Highness, the scout found signs of enemy activity at the entrance of the ancient street, with a population of about 200!" Suddenly a spy reported.
"Have they all been here?" Ning Wanjun kept walking, "It seems that these people are not less familiar with Jinxia City than us at all."
"It seems that the enemy may have set his sights on the granary from the beginning." Qiu Yue showed a look of worry.
"So what? In the end, we have to speak based on our strength. But there is one thing we have at least the advantage."
"What?"
"The number of people who feel the energy." Ning Wanjun smiled, "In the past, the alchemists in the border army were treasures, but now our troops are less than two thousand, but there are as many as ten alchemists, not to mention the help of demons, so let it be easier."
"Your Highness, are you serious?" Xia Fan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "The alchemists I recruited... are not right. They are temporary workers. At most, they have only dealt with evil spirits. You'd better not have expectations for them."
Not to mention Master, Sun Haotian and others, even he himself doesn’t have much confidence.
"How could it be, even the most slutty person who feels the sensation, he is also a sensation person. Besides, the battlefield is always the place where people are trained the most. You will know after you experience it once."
"Okay, what should I do later?"
"It's very simple. Just find a way to cast the magic on the enemy." Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows forward and said, "Look, the opponent is waiting for us. Send the order and stop moving forward!"
"Your Highness has an order to stop moving forward!"
"Your Highness has an order to stop moving forward!"
There were shouts in the team one after another, and they quickly spread from the front row of the team to the rear.
This is the first time Xia Fan has participated in the battle of this era. It sounds like there are not many 200 people, but when he stands on the street, it is dark and full of blackness. The bright swords pointed straight ahead, like a wall of sharp blades, and its momentum is no less than that of the princess.
In fact, the width of a street is at most enough to stand a dozen people side by side. In addition, there are also guarding against enemies from the roof and other street intersections, our numerical advantage cannot be reflected.
The two sides confront each other, so close that they can see each other's faces. Once they fight, there will be people behind them. It can be said that there is no way out at all. The so-called "a brave man wins" on a narrow road, perhaps it is a true portrayal of street fighting in this era.
"I'll break through the front, and I'll leave it to you on the roof, Xia Fan."
Ning Wanjun raised his spear so that everyone could see his brown-red spear tip. "Tell me, the five teams are in the group, follow me!"
"Your Highness has an order, five teams will be in the group, follow and attack!"
When the order spread, she slowly poured over the barrel of the gun. When the pointing pointed at the enemy, she shouted loudly, "Charge!"
The twenty-five people in the front roared in unison and rushed towards the opposite side.
The enemies also responded at the same time, raising their swords forward one after another, without any intention of retreating.
At this time, momentum and will will play a decisive role.
The two streams of people collided in an instant, and the whole street suddenly became boiling!
Although it seems to be a battle between cold weapons, the existence of the qi-sensing person has increased the killing efficiency to a new level. Ning Wanjun rushed out of the crowd and inserted it into the enemy formation like a sharp blade. The surging qi condensed a series of heat waves in the gun rod and her hands. It was injured when touched, and it was dead when it hit. The high temperature could even ignite clothes and hair.
Xia Fan couldn't help but recall the scene of everyone fighting with the Blood Crow in Gaoshan County.
At that time, I felt that the situation was extremely critical, and only Ning Wanjun was struggling to support it in the audience, but if I changed my position and thought about it, I guess I would not have been much better when facing this fierce offensive experience.
However, what surprised him even more was that his maid Qiuyue was actually a person who was angry, and he was using a long bow.
Street combat should not be a good place to use long-range weapons, but this one is ineffective for Qiuyue. She flexibly uses every high platform, sometimes a stone lion on the street, sometimes a protruding eaves and beams, and accurately sends feather swords into the target's neck and armor-free part, and almost no arrows are fired within twenty meters.
"Brother Xia, be careful!" Wei Wushuang reminded.
Xia Fan retracted his attention and set his sight on the other end of the roof of the townhouse. He saw about twenty Dongsheng warriors holding light crossbows having double-teamed from both sides.
The team led by two masked swordsmen wrapped in black tights.
This is probably a ninja.
Is the Privy Councillor's alchemist fighting against Dongsheng Ninjutsu... It's really a dramatic contest.
Although he was so sarcastic in his heart, he still mentioned his vigilance to the highest point. The loss he suffered during the last time he competed with Qingzi was still vivid in his mind. Xia Fan decided that if it was unnecessary, he would never get close to them within five steps.
Seeing the other party lifting the light crossbow, Luo You'er, who was following Xia Fan, took the lead in casting the magic.
"The Xun technique returns to Chen, brushing the willows!"
