Chapter 248 Set the battle situation
The north wind is like a knife, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.
Because of the life-threatening impact of the war colossus, the cracks on the surface of the towering city wall spread rapidly like spider webs, and the smoke and snow fog filled the top of the city screaming for killing.
Under the control of the second prince, the large formation of the city guard successfully killed a rough-skinned and thick-skinned ice beast colossus on the way to attack, but the impact of the last bear-shaped colossus directly shattered the overloaded Nancheng formation.
The tactical goal of the barbarian Yiwang at the cost of the three ice giants has been achieved.
Although the mountain-thick city wall was not completely knocked down, the entire defensive formation in the south of the city has been completely paralyzed.
More importantly, the corpses dumped on the city wall after the death of the war colossus directly became a natural trestle leading to the city gate tower.
The forward troops of the barbarians divided into two groups, and attacked the city and the destroyed Arc de Triomphe like wolves.
The two armies fought hand to hand in an instant.
The condensed totems of the barbarians and the phantoms of the halberds condensed by the Great Yan Army continued to intertwine and collide, causing a roar of explosions.
In a war of this scale, most high-level cultivators dare not show their faces.
But at the critical juncture, there will still be desperate high-level cultivators who will take the risk, cut off a large area of the enemy army, and then flee away in an instant.
Which naturally included Zhou Chen who was forcibly dispatched to defend the city.
Zhou Chen pulled out the jade sword behind his back, and just executed the kung fu method to kill a group of barbarian soldiers who climbed up the city wall and stood firm and waited for follow-up reinforcements. Just as he was about to run away, he felt his breath was locked.
Then,
It's too late to say it's too late, a white tiger totem shot directly at him from the snow and smoke below the city!
The speed is so fast that even he has no time to dodge.
Zhou Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and the jet-black Dao Yun sword light that had been prepared flashed, and swung towards the phantom of the giant tiger.
"Boom!"
Two violent streams of Yuan Qi collided on the city tower, and a large pit appeared on the city wall.
And Zhou Chen was also unbearable, and at the moment of the roar, he turned into an afterimage and fell towards the city at a high speed, smashing through several buildings and raising a cloud of smoke in the city, he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
And this is just a corner of the whole war.
Every minute, no, every second, the unknown Yan people and barbarians died in this meat grinder, bone spurs pierced their hearts, spirit blades chopped off their heads, and bright red and jet-black blood spread across Nancheng at an extremely fast speed. spread out.
Even though they shouted to kill and shake the sky, countless barbarians have already attached to the city wall, and the gate tower, as the largest stronghold in Nancheng, is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Yuan Hao didn't care about the fighting below, because he didn't have the time to pay attention to it at the moment.
He stared intently at the looming figure of the last war colossus of the barbarians.
A good general can always quickly analyze the biggest threat on the battlefield.
Now the situation in Nancheng is indeed in danger, but the biggest threat is not the barbarians who attacked the city, nor the barbarians who entered the city through the triumphal gate, but the last surviving war colossus.
Without the means of attacking the large defensive array, the defense equipment on the city wall would not be able to cause fatal damage to the war colossus, and once the war colossus arrived under the southern city.
Most of the city walls may be directly smashed down by that beast.
Once the city wall is destroyed, the entire southern city will have no danger to defend.
Once the war colossus enters the city, the chain reaction will cause Beifeng City to completely fall.
Street fighting is not necessary.
A thought flashed across, and a trace of solemnity flashed across Yuan Hao's delicate face.
His Highness Wu Yuan allocated him 30,000 sect frontier troops to be commanded by him, so he did not use his own black scale army.
Most of the defenders on the top of the city are Zongmen frontier troops, and he only sent a small number of middle-level non-commissioned officers to call for organizational discipline.
As for his Black Scale Army, it formed an army formation in the city and acted as a supervising team.
Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!
Among them, there are considerations of wanting to preserve strength, and there are also considerations for the overall situation.
It is a very simple truth,
If the Black Scale Army and these frontier troops are allowed to defend the city wall together, regardless of the fact that different skills cannot form a joint army formation, the important thing is that the morale of the Black Scale Army is easily defeated by these pigs.
Once defeated, the entire battle situation in Nancheng will be completely ruined.
And if the Black Scale Army is allowed to stand in front, once the Black Scale Army suffers too many casualties while defending the city and needs to retreat, it would be wishful thinking to rely on these second-line sect frontier troops to take back the city gate.
However, after the war started, the development of the war situation somewhat exceeded Yuan Hao's expectations.
There is only a picture book in the exhaustive strategy.
Although Yuan Hao had made a lot of preparations before the battle, he never expected that the smoke and dust released by the "blocking the sun" and the snow fog rising from the snow would actually have a "reassurance" effect on the Zongmen's frontier army's defense of the city.
In a mist that obstructs vision,
People can only see the area in front of them. Even if some people are afraid of death and want to escape, other people who are fighting to the death cannot see it.
At the stage of killing red eyes, he was in a stalemate with these menacing barbarians for a while.
It was a surprise.
Thinking of this, Yuan Hao looked at the war colossus running towards the city wall like the ground was shaking, and slightly clenched the handle of the knife.
Need to make a decision.
He must lead the black scale army out of the city to kill the remaining giant statue.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Hao glanced back at the Black Scale Army under the city, ready to go.
There is a high probability that this trip out of the city will be close to death, and there is no guarantee of success, but he must do this, otherwise it will be ten deaths.
Making the decision in his heart, Yuan Hao didn't pause at all, and immediately turned to Li Qingyan's new deputy general, a middle-aged man with a beard and the commander of the Zongmen's 30,000 frontier army, and said in a solemn voice:
"Deputy General Qing, no matter what method you use, you must use your soldiers to defend the city wall."
Hearing this, Deputy General Qing frowned slightly.
He can see the overall situation clearly, so he is trying his best to control the army to maintain the defense line of the city wall.
But seeing the overall situation clearly did not affect his dislike for the Yuan commander.
As the eye of the frontier formation, Qing Genglan could clearly sense that at every moment, countless brothers under him had disappeared forever.
Why?
Why is it that Yuan Hao's Black Scale Army is supervising the battle in the rear, while his brothers are on the front line and desperately fighting?
Silent for a moment, Vice-General Qing still cupped his hands, gritted his teeth and said:
"This is natural. The Black Scale Guards led by Yuan are in the rear to supervise the battle. Naturally, my soldiers dare not retreat."
Yuan Hao looked at Lieutenant General Qing, with a flat tone:
"Don't feel unbalanced, I will take the Black Scale Guard out of the city immediately."
Deputy General Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he could naturally see the situation of the battle clearly, and subconsciously glanced at the mountain-like shadow a few miles away:
"Out of town? Are you going out of town to slaughter that giant statue?"
Yuan Hao smiled, as if chatting:
"Lieutenant Qing, you should be very clear that if you don't kill the colossus, we will all die here."
The words fall,
The two generals above the city gate were silent for a moment.
The piercing hurricane whizzed by at high altitude, but the chill was gone from the shouts of killing.
After a short breath, Yuan Hao turned around and left without getting a reply.
Fighters cannot be delayed.
And at this time,
Qing Genglan with downcast eyes suddenly said loudly behind Yuan Hao:
"Now the reserve team for reinforcements in the city will arrive soon, and Qing will organize an army of soldiers to lead the way for you to lead Yuan."
Yuan Hao paused slightly, and looked back in surprise.
Qing Genglan smiled with his unshaven mouth:
"Commander Yuan, if we have different ways, we don't conspire with each other. In the past, we were not on the same road, and we may even meet each other in the future.
"I think we should be regarded as colleagues."
“.”
Be quiet for a moment,
Yuan Hao took a deep look at the unshaven middle-aged man, smiled lightly and shook his head:
"You are not bad, I will be more gentle in the future."
Say it,
He jumped directly off the tower.
Qing Genglan twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and spat in the direction Yuan Hao left:
"Damn it, a brat is so crazy, let's talk about it after surviving."
After finishing speaking, he used the military formation technique and began to gather the soldiers in the inner city.
If the battle above the city wall is a flesh grinder, then the bombed Arc de Triomphe is an out-and-out meat grinder.
The barbarians took advantage of the power of the dead colossus to attack the city and established a bridgehead, but the imminent Great Yan army has completely surrounded the city.
The barbarians want to hold this bridgehead in the city and continue to spread, while Dayan wants to destroy this bridgehead.
Both sides continued to suffer casualties, and continued to invest in troops.
The violent collision made the source qi in the air chaotic. The bones of both sides piled up like a mountain, but they were instantly smashed into **** mud by the powerful phantom of the army formation, and the city walls and ground were covered with red and black flesh.
He died here, leaving the whole body can only be a hope.
If there is no change, the flesh and blood mill here will continue until one side's soldiers are exhausted, or they are too damaged and retreat by themselves.
But the accident happened very quickly.
Because apart from this magnificent triumphal arch, two of the other three giant gates in the southern city are being slowly pulled up.
The barbarian army on standby below the city was taken aback when they saw this scene, but soon some grassroots leaders realized that this was a sign that the Yan people were going out of the city.
Strong military literacy allowed the barbarian elite to form a temporary defense line the moment the city gate was completely opened, ready to break into it in the opposite direction at any time and expand the meat grinder under the city wall.
The heavy cavalry wearing frontier armor desperately protruded forward to open the way, and the heavy infantry followed and pushed towards the two wings.
Going fast.
But also, because the soldiers who formed the army were all warriors of the eighth or ninth rank, this advance lasted for less than half a quarter of an hour, and was stabilized by the barbarians outside the city within a distance of only one mile.
A medium-sized military formation composed of ten thousand people is formed by groups of soldiers condensing small military formations that are interlocking and echoing each other.
Under the strangulation of the barbarian army outside the city, each small army formation was quickly shattered, and the medium-sized army formation composed of an army of 10,000 people began to crumble.
"The Yanren army is about to collapse!"
"This group of Yan people still dare to go out of the city and counterattack and enter the city!"
"For the king! For the ancestor god! Break into the city for me!"
The yelling of the barbarians one after another indicates that their counterattack has begun.
But at this moment,
The sound of rumbling hoofs was heard, and a black torrent pierced out of the city gate with an unstoppable momentum.
Yuan Hao, who was wearing a black-scaled commander's armor, rode a black-scaled wildebeest and took the lead. Looking at the crumbling frontier formations around him, he chuckled slightly playfully:
"Tsk tsk. The loss of 30% of the small army formation will not be able to maintain the army formation. Seeing that the people are not bad, Yuan will personally give you a happy one in the future."
Say it,
He yelled:
"Qing Genglan, get out of the way for me, and if you don't move, let your soldiers follow me!"
Above the city walls,
Qing Genglan cursed slightly tiredly, but still obeyed the other party's words, let the heavy cavalry of the frontier army give way to the black scale army, and growled at the same time:
"Prepare the crossbow on the bed, open the way for Lao Tzu to help this grandson, fight!"
The black scale heavy cavalry also took over the position of the opponent.
Yuan Hao took the lead, and under the support of the army, the halberd in his hand opened and closed. Every time he swung the light blade, he could take the lives of a dozen tall barbarians in front.
The hot black blood splashed on his face, distorting his delicate face with excitement.
Like a sharp spearhead, it broke into the barbarian army formation and rushed towards the giant mountain-like beast.
Even if there were only two thousand of them, even with the rapid increase in the number of troops being reduced due to sudden killings, the black-scale iron cavalry continued to forge ahead.
"For the ancestors, for the king."
"brush!"
A long halberd cut a tall barbarian in half, and the black blood splashed on the ground. Yuan Hao was about to look up at the huge black figure
A hoarse voice resounded through the battlefield of the feature film:
"Death to me!"
"Om——"
A golden sword light flashed across the sky instantly, and directly slashed on the black shadow of the giant statue in the distance with an aura that covered the sky and the sun!
"Roar!!!"
The war colossus with huge goat horns screamed in pain, and a huge scar visible to the naked eye directly crippled one of its legs!
The huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the entire plain near Beifeng City was shaken violently!
And the next moment,
A jerky, flaming language rang out deafeningly:
"Wu Yuan! Since you dare to come, let me leave it for you!"
During discourse,
A huge phantom of the barbaric **** appeared out of thin air, and slapped the beautiful shadow that rose into the air with a slap.
"Boom!!"
Qianying, who was supported by Habayashi's elite army, took the palm directly, and set off a hurricane to completely blow away the surrounding smoke and snow fog!
“.”
The dramatic changes in the flanks of the rebellious army made Yuan Hao unavoidably stunned for a moment.
"Commander Yuan!"
While he was in a daze, several giant arrows from the ballista had already shot at him, and two personal guards fell off their horses trying to block the arrows for him.
Concentrating and continuing to charge, Yuan Hao already understood what happened at this moment, his body overflowing with energy due to the blessing of the army array began to tremble uncontrollably due to excitement.
His master had told him.
For a general, a strong army and victory over the enemy can be a good general.
It is a strange general to defeat the enemy with similar military strength.
The army is weak but defeats the enemy as a famous general.
Only those who are invincible in military strength and victorious can be passed down through the ages.
He realized what the princess wanted to do.
Attack east and west with a sound, seduce the enemy to attack, cover the city, eliminate part of the gap in strength, and concentrate most of the elite to catch the enemy by surprise and fight decisively.
Yuan Hao likes to kill people, but he also likes the thrill of defeating the enemy with his life hanging by a thread:
"Madman. Hehehehahahaha! No wonder His Royal Highness Wu Yuan transferred Qing Genglan to me as a lieutenant general! Black scale army, follow me to kill and cut the battlefield! Join forces with the princess!!"
And at this moment,
Behind the towering northern city wall came a series of ferocious roars, and hundreds of huge flying monsters belonging to the Black Scale Army crossed the city wall and galloped towards the barbarian army!
On the chaotic battlefield, dozens of monsters were shot down by the barbarians in a matter of seconds, and they fell to the ground, causing a cloud of smoke and dust, but even so, a small half of the monsters still flew to the designated position.
In an instant,
Countless source crystal bombs poured down, directly blocking the reinforcements of the barbarian rear army to the front army!
A little late, or?
