"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 614
The Southern Army aggressively attacked Xitian Mansion, but was quickly defeated in the face of repeated blows from the Qinghe Army's long-range weapons.
Seeing the panicked and defeated soldiers, General Li Hong of the Southern Army and the other generals all looked gloomy and ugly.
After all, losing the first battle is not a good sign. This is because Li Hong personally led his troops to face the Qinghe army head-on, and the opponent's strength exceeded his expectations.
However, he led tens of thousands of troops here. Even if the Qinghe army is very strong, he can only bite the bullet.
Otherwise, not only will his prestige and face be damaged, but he will also not be able to explain to General Zhennan.
"The thieves have sharp weapons, but they are not many in number. As long as they rush forward to fight, the thieves will definitely be defeated!"
As a general in charge of the army, Li Hong's vision is naturally vicious. Facing the fearful generals, he forced himself to speak calmly and comfort him.
"General Shen."
"The end is here!"
"You go to form a team and attack again!"
"No!"
Li Hong named a general and ordered him to go to the whole team to attack again.
Although this general named Shen Qiang was extremely reluctant, but at this moment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
After half an hour of regrouping, the defeated Southern Army infantry regrouped into several fortified formations.
"The thieves are right in front of us. Those who retreat without orders, regardless of officers and soldiers, will be shot to death!"
Lieutenant General Shen Qiang saw the assembled team, so he rode his horse to the front and renewed the military order.
"Attack!"
Now General Li Hong and others are watching from behind, and Deputy General Shen Qiang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered another attack.
"First row, get on!"
The officer on duty ordered the flag to be waved, and more than 300 Southern Army soldiers in the first row, carrying sandbags, rushed forward first.
"Second row, get on!"
The soldiers in the first row had just run twenty steps away, and the soldiers in the second row also rushed out carrying the boards.
Just now, the soldiers of the Southern Army gathered together and let trebuchets and arrows shoot and kill many.
So this time, Lieutenant General Shen Qiang ordered the troops to pull the skirmish line and rush up to avoid a covering attack.
Seeing rows of Southern Army soldiers pounced upwards, Tian Changjie, deputy head of the 12th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army standing on the top of the city watching the battle, couldn't help nodding.
"It seems that the southern army is not all full of wine bags and rice bags." Tian Changjie said with a smile.
The chief of staff smiled and said: "No matter how they rush, they will never get close to Xitian Mansion without paying the price."
"This time, your staff has made great contributions."
"Thank you, my lord."
Building a line of defense on the outskirts of Xitian Mansion was the idea of ??a group of aides. The purpose was to consume the Southern Army and frustrate their spirit.
Tian Changjie is also very happy that the southern army has suffered a lot of losses before it even gets close to the trench fence around Xitian Mansion.
When Tian Changjie and the others were talking and laughing at the top of the city, those Southern Army soldiers carrying sandbags and wooden planks had quickly advanced to the vicinity of the outer defense line.
Amid the whizzing sound of arrows piercing the air, the Qinghe army archers guarding the outer line of defense began to exert their strength.
The accuracy of the powerful arrows is frightening. Confederate soldiers kept running and fell to the ground, and never got up again.
But this time the soldiers of the southern army did not dare to flee back without authorization. Although their companions kept falling down, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to stop and ran with their heads buried.
They thought that if they ran fast enough, the arrows would miss them, and they did.
Facing a fast-moving target, even if the archers of the Qinghe Army had good archery skills, they could only sigh in awe.
Those Confederate soldiers carrying sandbags rushed to the trap trenches and threw bags of sand into them.
Many soldiers who fell into it just now and were injured and survived were still inside. Facing the sandbags that were constantly thrown in, they also cursed angrily.
Because the southern army didn't go to rescue them, it's fine, but they even wanted to bury them alive with sandbags.
But war is so cruel and ruthless, in order to win victory, sacrifice is inevitable.
Countless sandbags were thrown into the trenches, and many Southern Army soldiers who resisted the sandbags just threw the sandbags in, and fell to the ground with arrows.
In the officer's cold shout, thatSome wounded soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows were also thrown into the trenches to fill up the trenches and pave the way for the large troops to advance.
"General, those brothers can't be thrown in, it will affect morale."
Some officers couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that it was too cruel to throw the wounded soldiers into the trench to fill the trench in full view, so they ran to protest to Lieutenant General Shen Qiang.
"You don't need them to fill the trenches, so why don't you go?"
Facing the officer's protest, Lieutenant General Shen Qiang's stern face did not change at all, and he snapped back with a single sentence.
"Listen to me, if you can't attack Xitian Mansion, they will all be beheaded!"
Seeing the unbearable soldiers around, Lieutenant General Shen Qiang roared loudly.
"General, isn't it too cruel for Old Shen to do this?"
The generals watching the battle at the back also couldn't bear it, and wanted General Li Hong to intervene.
"As long as he can capture Xitian Mansion, no matter what he does, I just need the result."
Li Hong didn't care what Shen Qiang did, he only cared about the result, and he didn't bother to interfere with the process.
"Compassion does not command soldiers. If you are all soft-hearted, you will not be able to deal with the fierce and cunning bandit army."
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the generals, Li Hong couldn't help but add something to remind them.
After all, they have lived a pampered life for too long, and now it is a life-and-death war.
After paying the price of hundreds of people, the southern army finally filled the trenches filled with sharp bamboos.
"Attack!"
Amidst the roar of Lieutenant General Shen Qiang, a group of young military officers personally carried swords and shields as the vanguard, and led their troops to the outer positions of Xitian Mansion.
Although the Qinghe Army's arrows were raining like rain, some people in the charging Southern Army's ranks kept falling.
But in the face of the ruthless lieutenant general Shen Qiang, none of these soldiers dared to retreat, they could only pray that they could walk off the battlefield alive.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Southern Army stepped on the trench filled with sandbags and the corpses of their comrades, and quickly rushed to the first fence.
They struggled to chop the stake and the entangled wire, trying to destroy it.
"prick!"
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army guarding behind this line of defense raised their sharp spears one after another, and stabbed them fiercely.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
The spears easily knocked the Southern Army soldiers who were chopping logs to the ground, leaving countless bloody holes on their bodies.
However, the Confederate soldiers in the first row had just been stabbed to the ground, and the Confederate soldiers in the back quickly filled the vacancy and continued to destroy wooden stakes and barbed wire.
From some gaps, the spearmen of the Southern Army kept stabbing the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, and some soldiers of the Qinghe Army screamed and fell down in the trench.
Amid the blood splatter, more and more people gathered beside the stake fence, and soon formed a human wall.
The spearmen of the Qinghe Army didn't even need to aim, as long as they dropped their spears, they would definitely be able to assassinate a person.
However, there were too many soldiers in the Southern Army. Many soldiers in the Southern Army were covered in blood holes and were already dead. They were crowded and unable to fall down.
Facing the squeeze of countless Southern Army soldiers, a short section of the defense line composed of wooden piles, fences, and barbed wire collapsed.
Many Southern Army soldiers also rolled on the ground, and before they got up, the swarming Southern Army soldiers stepped on their bodies and rushed into the line of defense.
Those Southern Army soldiers who fell to the ground were trampled to death by their own people, and became corpses on the ground. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
