Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
Although Chu Taifeng's ashen face was expressionless, everyone knew that the army commander was in a bad mood. It should be said that Chu Taifeng placed too much hope on this first day. The second and third divisions can be regarded as the elite of the entire northern army. Except for the first division stationed in the imperial capital, Chu Taifeng can boast proudly Well, the second and third divisions are unmatched in the entire Northern Army, even if they encounter the Western Frontier Army, they will never have any fear.
However, these two divisions, more than 40,000 elite, went into battle in turn. They fought fiercely from the morning until it was dark. Except for a rest and meal for more than an hour in the middle, they almost never stopped attacking, but in the end The ending is still such a depressing result.
Both divisions paid a very heavy price, especially during the early arrival process, the enemy's catapults, ballistas and dragon cannons caused considerable losses to their own side. The deterrent effect brought by the dragon cannon is unimaginable. Fortunately, the number of the enemy's dragon cannons does not seem to be very large, but even so, the enemy's selective firing often hits such things as the assault vehicle and the mobile arrow tower. This is a key weapon, which greatly affects the efficiency of the impact. Chu Taifeng is not sure whether the opponent is deliberately preserving strength or there are really only so many dragon cannons, but including the hated triangular nail The appearance of new weapons inside has made Chu Taifeng feel inexplicably worried. It seems that the outcome of the war is not completely determined by the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the resolute attitude of the commander. It played a pivotal role, which made Chu Taifeng also feel that the Northern Army was getting farther and farther away from the Western Frontier Army in this respect. If the Northern Army does not catch up, I am afraid that future wars will only become more and more unfavorable to the Northern Army. But does the Northern Army have the capabilities to meet this challenge? Thinking of this question, Chu Taifeng's heart couldn't help sinking.
The soldiers of the third division in the binoculars rushed to the top of the city again, but just like the previous few times, the Western Frontier Army's counterattack ability was quite strong, and it hardly gave much to the soldiers of the Northern Army who rushed to the city wall Chance. Wave after wave of counterattacks quickly pushed the soldiers of the third division down the city wall alive. The last city rushing vehicle that was too late to withdraw turned into a city of fire under the bombardment of three consecutive fire dragon shells from the enemy. Chu Taifeng felt anxious. Unable to bear this kind of consumption, more than 20 city rush vehicles were ruined in this day's battle. According to this level of consumption, I am afraid that within a few days, I will have no vehicles to use.
"The catapults and ballistas are ready to fully cover the city wall!" Although there are still a considerable number of soldiers from the Third Division fighting on the city wall, the chief of staff has not hesitated to issue an order to strike.
The dark spots quickly filled the entire sky. The falling stone rain immediately covered the entire city wall without distinction. The soldiers on both sides who were caught off guard suddenly screamed in this unprepared stone rain. No matter which side the soldiers were, they couldn't resist it at all. Against this kind of blow with huge inertia and impact, except for hiding in turrets or caves for hiding soldiers, it is difficult for shield crenellations to play a protective role.
Shi Yu continued to extend backwards. The phalanx of archers in Xijiang, which had just had time to line up to attack the retreating northern army, was immediately beaten to pieces. Probably this was the last time the northern army achieved a record that was barely worth mentioning in this day's attack.
Just as the northern army launched a full-scale offensive at the east gate, the Doton army also launched a powerful shock wave in the northeast corner. But Kamapov's prediction was correct. The Dortons were far less threatening to this kind of fortified battle than the northern army. The charge of the 20,000-man team did not bring too much to the fifth division responsible for the defense of the northeast. pressure. Although the Dortons also tried their best to charge, traditional siege weapons such as ladders are obviously more likely to be destroyed by the Western Frontier Army. In the whole day, except for the Dortons who dropped one or two thousand corpses under the city wall In addition, the casualties of the Fifth Division were less than a thousand, and most of these casualties were caused by the long-range attack weapons of the Dotons, and the Dotons had not even rushed up to the city wall once in this day's battle. .
The performance of Poole is also disappointing, but overall it should be much better than Dorton. The veterans of the Puer people who have gone through many wars played a key role in the entire Puer army, although they are not yet comparable to Chu Taifeng's First Army. But their blood and courage still brought considerable trouble to the Fourth Division responsible for defending Ximen. Poole's army, composed of those veterans who have gone through several **** battles, is still commendable in courage. Perhaps it feels that the favor of dripping water should be repaid with springs. The impact of Poole's army at the West Gate is still strong, but their attack More is placed on the bombardment of the city wall, and the heavy ramming vehicle is their main attack weapon. Continuously attacking the weak links of the city wall, this seemingly clumsy but quite practical method put a lot of pressure on the defense of the Fourth Division. Although the Dragon Cannon can play a very good role in dealing with this kind of thing, it is still very important. The flexibility of this city-crashing car is obviously better than those of the city-crashing car, but its value is far inferior, which also greatly restricts the Fourth Division's defense.
Fortunately, although Yunzhongfu City is a bit shorter, the thickness and strength of the city walls are not bad. The long-range strike weapons of the Puers are far inferior to those of the Northern Army, even the Dortons. Perhaps Sezerif IX paid too much attention to the benefits of money. Although he was meticulous in the training and strengthening of the army, his equipment, especially He seemed unwilling to spend more on such long-range strike weapons that cost a lot of money, so that in this battle, many of the long-range strike weapons of the Poole army were obsolete ordinary equipment provided by the Northern Army. These things have already satisfied the Poole people.
It's just that due to the lack of long-range weapons, the Puers have to pin their hopes on destroying the city wall through the crash car so that they can take advantage of the Puer army through ground warfare. It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.
When the afterglow of the setting sun quietly climbed up the city wall, one after another the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops echoed in the wilderness, which made almost everyone breathe a sigh of relief, whether it was the Northern Army, the Western Frontier Army, or Dorton It is a kind of happiness for the army or the Poole army to survive such a tragic battle. Although it is not surprising for the soldiers of the first army who have adapted to their own army commander, it is not surprising for Dorton to fight so fiercely on the first day. For Duohe Puerjun, it was a bit heartbreaking.
On the table were the reports of casualties and battle results from the Dorton Army in the north and the Poole Army in the west. Chu Taifeng's originally surprisingly angry mood calmed down instead. The scum! How dare you use this kind of feint to deceive yourself! Chu Taifeng thought about the countermeasures coldly. It seems that the promise he made to them didn't have much effect. I don't know if it's because the two parties have tightly covered up their promise and temptation, or the two Fang originally only wanted to pretend to cooperate in this battle?
I'm afraid it won't work if this continues. Although the Puer soldiers' combat effectiveness is not weak, it seems that they are still lacking in finding ways to break the city, especially their siege equipment is too poor. It is too difficult for them to break through the Ximen with simple equipment. What if they asked them to deploy a corps to help them strengthen their offensive at the east gate? This may be a good choice. With the city-rushing vehicle, which can make the wall as high as possible, the infantry of the Puer people should be able to play a full role, but I don’t know if the Puer people are willing to accept this suggestion?
Anyway~IndoMTL.com~This should be a method that can be tried. It is better than letting the Puer people waste under the west gate wall in vain. I am afraid that the Puer people themselves will give up this ineffective siege method later. Rather than doing that, it is better to concentrate our forces to attack this point. Thinking of this, Chu Taifeng couldn't help but nodded silently. It seemed that he needed to exchange opinions with the commander of the Puer people. Chu Taifeng believed that he could persuade the other party to adopt his opinion.
As for the Doton people, Chu Taifeng couldn't help but want to get angry. These guys are almost born to steal, **** and play tricks. That Supchenko is a bloodless mediocre, although his methods It seems very useful to use it here, but it can't be concealed from myself. After a day of fierce fighting with two legions of 140,000 troops, there are actually two to three thousand casualties. This is a bit ridiculous. Is he planning to conduct a small-scale war of attrition like this One year or two years? Chu Taifeng doesn't care who the other party is, since he has become a member of the same boat, he must help each other in the same boat. If he adopts this perfunctory method, it is better to ask them to leave. It seems that this Supchenko and the female commander of the Phoenix Corps need to have a good talk with them. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the most critical two days. Although Chu Taifeng is arrogant, he did not expect to take down Yunzhong Fucheng in one day. That would be too contemptuous of the opponent's strength. But today, the other party has seen the true power of the First Army. I believe that no one in Western Xinjiang will dare to underestimate the First Army. Face-to-face warfare is the best way to prove it.
