Chapter 418

The battle continues.

The attack at the head of Tianyuan city did not make the soldiers on the side of Qingyang Empire retreat. Even though the soldiers who were killed and injured were hard to count for a time, more people were rushing up.

They know that only if they run faster and faster can they survive in the rain of falling stones and arrows.

back off?

After the trial of blood and fire, these soldiers will not think so. In their eyes, they will either be torn up by the enemy, or they will rush up and tear up the enemy!

Even if some of them want to retreat, is it possible to retreat?

What is the result of retreating without the command of the commander on the battlefield?

It's also a dead word!

In addition, he will bear the reputation of deserting soldiers all his life. Even if he doesn't die, he will be unable to lift his head all his life, and even affect his family.

Why are you in the army?

Isn't it just to let the family get a better life?

Left and right are dead, why not rush one, why not fight one?

If you die, you will have a settlement fee for your family. If you don't die, this is a great achievement, which can ensure that the family will have no worries about food and clothing from now on.

Lord Zheng said that after they completely defeated Nantes Province, all the officers and men participating in the campaign will reward them for their merits, and they will still triple the size of their merits and give huge rewards!

As long as you get to this vote, you'll probably have enough food and clothing in your life!

In private, the soldiers naturally discussed this. Even many people are ready to finish the battle. After receiving the reward promised by Lord Zheng, they will be demobilized and return to the field, stay away from this bloody life and live a plain and stable life.

So, go!

So, kill!

"Brothers, hurry up and tear up these bastards to avenge the brothers!"

Some people were full of blood, shaking their arms and shouting, others clenched their teeth and buried their heads, and rushed forward. What's more, their eyes were already blood red. They just raised their shield in front of them, and ignored it. They roared wildly and hurled their steel knives at the head of the City in the face of the fierce arrow rain.

Whether you can fight or not, if you are pressed like this, you always want to fight back.

The fire continued.

Tianyuan city has been preparing for this for a long time. Naturally, it will not be over just one or two rounds of throwing stones together. Even the highly experienced Ouyang Li Xing has made an interval. He formed the catapults into three teams. The first team attacked the second team, and the second team took over the third team. When the third team also fired, the ammunition of the first team has been loaded again. In this way, As long as there are enough stone throwing reserves at the head of the city, the stone throwing machine forces in Tianyuan city can be almost seamlessly connected and continuously kill the enemies outside the city.

In addition, when the troops of Qingyang Empire rushed into the range of the archers against the falling stone rain, if the sharp arrows like locusts poured down like rain, it was like a large black cloud floating in the sky and blocking out the sun. When they were under the cloud, their sight was much dimmer.

For a time, under the double attack of stone throwing and arrow, the 100000 soldiers sent by Zheng Yuanyun to take the lead seemed to be in human purgatory. Few soldiers could really get through the dense coverage attack. It's not too much to say that there are ten or one.

Watching this scene, even with Zheng Yuanyun's cold heart, he couldn't help looking a little ugly.

It's not that he can't accept the loss of 100000 troops. In fact, he sent 100000 troops first just to make a test. He wants to try the reality of Tianyuan city.

This time, Zheng Yuanyun felt like kicking an iron plate, which made him dizzy.

Tianyuan city not only looks like a piece of iron, in fact, he is really a piece of iron and doesn't play empty at all.

How many troops did Ouyang deploy in Tianyuan city?

Because the newly reinforced city wall was blocked in front, Zheng Yuanyun didn't see it very clearly, but from the number of catapults and the intensity of arrow rain, Zheng Yuanyun, who is also very experienced, also had his own guess.

At least half a million troops!

If there were not so many troops, how could they make the catapults almost seamlessly connected, and how could they even have a sense of hierarchy in the rain of arrows? At a glance, at least two Archer groups were drawing bows and arrows in turns?

And this is just on the top of the city.

As the commander-in-chief of the city defense side, Zheng Yuanyun believes that Ouyang will not have any common sense. He can't put all his troops on the head of the city and only fight this wave. He must at least have another army of the same number to rotate under the city. Otherwise, with this high-intensity battle, the soldiers won't last long and will be exhausted.

Not to mention the extent that you can't even afford a knife, at least it's impossible to ensure such an intense output rhythm. It's obviously unwise to make such a physically exhausting move when you know that there are still a large number of troops on your side who don't play.

Therefore, Ouyang has deployed more than one million troops in this gate alone?

What about the other two gates?

This is not Xilong City, because there is a natural moat as a barrier, so Ning Zhenggang neglected the defense of the other three gates at that time.

Of course, this was also due to the shortage of troops at that time.

How many troops does Ouyang have?

Two or three million!

Zheng Yuanyun was clear about this number. He did not infer only from the marching traces left by Xiao Du at that time, but after combining this, there was another thing.

At the beginning, Ouyang fought a big war with Yan Haomiao on the border ahead of Dongping city. From that war, the troops invested by both sides will probably be this number.

It's hard to say whether Ouyang's vigorous implementation brought all the troops at that time, but when marching and fighting, we should always start with the worst plan.

Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun assumes that Ouyang has nearly three million troops. Once he starts to fight hard, he will really deploy all his troops in Tianyuan City, and the other two gates will also be as solid as gold.

But is it possible?

Is it possible for him to decide to fight to the death here regardless of the two cities behind him?

This is too bold!

Zheng Yuanyun frowned and didn't take back the order of attack. While watching the continuous pouring of artillery fire at the head of Tianyuan City, he thought secretly in his heart and deduced Ouyang's strict strategic deployment at this time from the worst plan.

But no matter what he thought, he still thought Ouyang would not take such a big risk.

This man, who has carefully collected intelligence, knows that the other party always attaches importance to the overall situation in the use of troops. In the collected achievements of the other party, he has never taken risks in the use of troops.

So, do you still think too much?
