Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
The strength of the Xijiang sniper team fully demonstrated their independent existence as an elite force in this offensive and defensive operation. The role of city chariots and siege towers is particularly prominent. The northern army used a mixture of siege towers and siege carts to organize offensives several times, but the sniper team was the first to launch them, curbing their offensive wave, and making the northern army fall short. Unable to fully develop their strength, they had to be defeated in the end.
The sniper force of the Xijiang army established their position as the most important part of an army in one fell swoop precisely because of their outstanding performance in this offensive and defensive battle in the cloud. In this battle, almost every division gradually The establishment and quantity of the sniper force has been improved, and this has also won a wider development space for the Jianghu people in the army.
It should be said that the First Army Corps of the Empire has worked very hard. The two divisions invested this time could not hold on in the afternoon. Chu Taifeng gritted his teeth and pushed the Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps up. . This is also the reserve army they are going to fight on the third day after today's offensive is unfavorable, but seeing the tragic situation of his fourth and fifth divisions, he is heartbroken. The two divisions have more than 40,000 elites. More than 40% of its strength has been lost in seven hours, which is simply unimaginable for the First Army. Chu Taifeng also knows that the Western Frontier Army on the city wall is also quite difficult, but such a large loss is too cruel. These are the elites who have followed him for many years, and they are not comparable to the garbage army of the empire. Every division is dragged out Chu Taifeng can proudly boast that he can compete with any army without falling behind. But in this battle, it took only half a day to achieve such a result.
The performance of the Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps in the second half of the afternoon can only be described as unsatisfactory in the eyes of Chu Taifeng. This division should barely rank among the entire Northern Army. It can only be said to be average, but in the next two or three hours, it suffered heavy losses. Although the head of the division, Gao Qiushan, almost brandished his knife with red eyes and stood under the command headquarters on the outside of the city wall to launch an offensive, it is obvious that his division is still a little behind the divisions of the First Army. This gap is even more obvious in the fight without any opportunism.
The Fifth Division of the Second Army Corps rushed to the top of Yunzhongfu City several times, but they were almost never able to stand on the top of the city wall before being chased down by the Western Frontier Army. There are some differences in performance. Also in this head-to-head confrontation, the Fifth Division of the Second Legion also paid a considerable price.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and under the city wall of the east gate of Yunzhong Mansion, there was already a patch of crimson mixed with speckled dark brown, with uneven corpses piled up like a mountain. The damaged siege equipment was scattered everywhere, many of which were still emitting light smoke. When the last wave of offensive was defeated by the Western Frontier Army with shouts, the Northern Army finally sounded the retreat gong. The sound of the golden gong was like the sound of life-saving sounds from nature, and the nerves of the soldiers on both sides were relaxed at once, looking at the soldiers of the Northern Army receding like a tide. The Xijiang Army didn't even have the strength to take advantage of the momentum to fight back.
Similarly, the two offensives in the north and east are also very hot but dull. Both the Dorton and the Poole have obviously become more and more uncomfortable in this three-dimensional defensive situation. Backward, the story of trying to win a siege battle with a ramming car and a ladder has gradually become history. If they don't develop more attack methods, the attackers can only master more defensive methods, and the enemies will be beaten to death, and the Dorton and Poole seem to prove this point. Although their attacks are ferocious and spectacular , but like waves crashing on a reef, every time they were hit by the waves, the reef remained motionless. In the battle on the second day, the Dortons and Pooles also dropped tens of thousands of soldiers under the city wall. corpse. But almost no decent results were achieved, which made Kamapov, who had been a little embarrassed by the impact of the Northern Army, breathe a sigh of relief.
As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually filled the entire battlefield, the upper and lower parts of Yunzhongfu City finally calmed down, and the battlefield that had been noisy for a day also ushered in a rare tranquility. They need to dispose of the corpses of their respective dead soldiers. This is not only to respect the dead victims, but also to prevent the spread of the plague. In a densely populated area like this weather, if the corpses are not properly disposed of, it is easy to cause the plague.
Tao Tingzhi was a little miserable, looking at the Xijiang soldiers lying on both sides of the street waiting for medical treatment, his heart was overwhelmed. He didn't expect that the battle of Xijiang's defense of Yunzhong would be so fierce, and he didn't expect Situ Tai to collude with the Dorton people in order to capture Yunzhong, and even attracted the Puer people, who were once unequal enemies, in the same way. Attacks from three sides almost put Yunzhong Mansion into a desperate situation, but the Xijiang Army faithfully fulfilled their promise, never leaving, vowing to live and die with the city. Tao Tingzhi couldn't imagine what it would be like once the city was broken. Most of the people with families and families in Yunzhong Mansion hid in the Fucheng in advance. Right now, tens of thousands of people rushed into the Fucheng. The internal guard formed by the government has replaced the garrison to take on the duty of patrolling and guarding the city, and the Yunzhong garrison division has also been fully supplemented, and they will join the frontline battlefield as a reserve team.
The young and middle-aged people in the city have all been organized. They formed the so-called Desperate Volunteer Team. Bloody men, they all have the responsibility and obligation to protect their wives, children, children and property. In fact, everyone knows what the consequences will be if the city is broken this time. Whether it is the Northern Army or the Dortons and Poole people, they will not let everyone and everything in the city go. , These invaders paid a terrible price, which shocked Tao Tingzhi, because after paying such a high price, the enemy still did not have the slightest intention to stop fighting, which shows that this battle can only end with the complete failure of one side. At the end, this also told the gentry and the people in the city in a disguised form that they had no choice and no way out.
The streets of the city exude a strong smell of medicinal materials and blood. At the same time, a thick smoke in the sky in the north of the city has been lingering for a long time. After a puff of black smoke, the young men who were alive and well turned into a pile of ashes and put them in the porcelain jar. Except for a nameplate recording their hometown and simple deeds, there is nothing left.
The doctors and the people who helped them were so busy that they didn't even touch the ground. A large number of seriously injured people were brought down here for diagnosis and treatment. The medicines for treating trauma were used up before they arrived in half an afternoon, and all the medicines from the medicine shop in Yunzhong Fucheng and all the big families were collected and used. Except for the seriously wounded, the lightly wounded all actively lined up Patiently waiting for treatment.
Kamapov and Tao Tingzhi walked among the wounded to observe the situation, and there was no trace of fatigue on their energetic faces. No one could imagine that he led the team in person today after a whole night last night Going up to the city, except for the thick cigars that never disappeared in his mouth, he seemed to have no other abnormalities.
All the gentry in the cloud were also mobilized. They donated the best medicines and clothes in their homes as bandages for the wounded, and almost every gentry had a large number of wounded lying in their homes. , which was also unthinkable in the past. Everyone knows what their respective fates will be if this battle fails. There is no luck, no survivors. The Dorton and Poole alone can tear everything in the entire Cloud City to pieces.
"General~IndoMTL.com~This battle is really tragic. I, Tao Tingzhi, have lived in vain for so many years, but I have never experienced such a thrilling scene. I couldn't help trembling, I was still a little weak after coming down from the tower for half an hour, it was too terrifying, I will never forget this scene for the rest of my life." Tao Tingzhi and Kamapov walked side by side, their words full of With emotion, there is still a lingering fear in the aftertaste.
"Mr. Tingzhi, this is war, a life-and-death war. Many problems and things have to be solved in this cruel way. I don't like this way, but I am a soldier. When the problem cannot be solved by other methods, we have to use this method to prove who is right.” Kamapov’s words are also full of emotions, “It seems that it is just destruction, but only after destruction can there be new life, I believe that Yunzhong Mansion will be able to usher in a better future after experiencing this catastrophe."
Looking at the other party in surprise, Tao Tingzhi didn't expect that this rude-looking warrior could say such philosophical words, which really surprised Tao Tingzhi. This general obviously has some foreign blood, which can also be proved from his name, but his fluent Tang dialect with a little Kansai local accent proves that he should be an authentic Tanghe person, and more and more Tanghe people Foreign people make it more and more difficult to judge whether a person is from Tanghe.
