Chapter 1034 Battle
"God of General, it's not good. Qin army, Qin army is ready to attack the city!" The messenger ran into the fortress conference hall with a look of panic and reported. At this moment, Kazakov was enjoying his lunch.
Kazakov was startled and asked in surprise: "Bao, isn't the tiger clan anyway? Why did the Qin army dare to attack?" The messenger shook his head in a daze.
Kazakov frowned, threw down his knife and fork, picked up the scimitar and rushed out of the chamber.
When Kazakov came to the city wall, 50,000 Qin soldiers were ready. The army was in a tight formation, with black flags rolling in, and the solemn and murderous aura made people shudder.
Kazakov couldn't help but be shocked and ordered urgently: "Each division is ready to fight!" In fact, each division is already actively preparing. The soldiers of the Ross army couldn't help but have a very bad premonition in their hearts.
Zhang He, who was standing under the commander's flag, nodded to a deputy general beside him. The deputy immediately raised his right arm and shouted, "Attack!" The sound of war drums immediately rang out loud. Two teams of 10,000 people who had been ready to go suddenly shouted and pressed towards the city wall. Seeing this scene, the enemy soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but feel nervous and moved more quickly. At the same time, more than 60 cannons lined up and roared at the same time. Then, stones and bricks flew around the city wall, and even more unlucky Ross soldiers were directly hit by the heavy iron ball and smashed to pieces.
The enemy artillery fire on the city wall began to fight back, and the shells fell into the Qin army's siege troops, and some casualties occurred in the Qin army.
The Qin army was firmly advancing towards the city wall, and the speed was getting faster and faster; the shells on both sides flew over their heads, and the shells kept causing waves up and down the city wall; occasionally they were hit by the other party's shells in the middle, and immediately made a loud noise, breaking and collapsed; the generals of the Ross army waved their scimitars and roared, looking crazy, but more anxious.
After paying a certain price, the Qin army finally advanced under the city wall. The ladders and flying towers began to build the city wall one after another. At this time, the raindrops of stones and wood fell from the city wall. Although the Qin soldiers used shields as cover, many casualties were still killed or injured. The Qin soldiers looked calm and did not seem to take the blows in front of them at all.
The Qin army's warrior bit the horizontal sword and quickly climbed up the city wall. The crossbowmen behind him covered the crossbows. The crossbowmen's crossbows on the city wall were also shooting down desperately, and the rain-like arrows were flying in the air. The Qin army's crossbowmen kept getting caught and fell to the ground, while the crossbowmen's crossbowmen kept falling from the city wall. The rhythm of the entire battlefield seemed very fast, and the roar of artillery filled his ears. Zhang He and Kazakov, the two coaches, were observing the battlefield with concentration, but Kazakov seemed much more anxious than Zhang He.
A Qin army warrior with horizontal sword finally rushed up the city wall. At this time, he understood that the first rushing up to the city wall was his glory and his end. He saw his eyes waving the horizontal sword and storming into the enemy's clusters, blood continued to sprinkle, and the faces of the Ross fell down helplessly in shock and anger. Several Ross soldiers holding spears attacked from three directions at the same time, but the horizontal sword warrior did not dodge and slashed at a Ross soldier in front of him at the same time. The blood light suddenly exploded, and three spears pierced through the person at the same time.
The body of the warrior of the horizontal sword, however, the narrow-edge long sword in the hand of the horizontal sword warrior cut off the head of a Ross soldier. Just when the Ross soldiers around him thought the horizontal sword warrior was dead, they were shocked to see that he suddenly held the barrel of a long spear in his left hand and let out a roar. At the same time, the narrow-edge long sword pierced into the chest of the Ross soldier opposite like a sudden electric shock. The Ross soldier looked at his chest in disbelief and fell down softly with horror and unwillingness. At this time, the horizontal sword warrior spewed out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became weak and died.
The soldier Ross, who came to his senses, slashed wildly at the body of the warrior of the sword, and poked it quickly. After a while, he stopped breathlessly. His face looked crazy, but there was clearly a hint of terror under the color that could not be concealed.
At this time, an official in the Qin army formation recorded in the manual, 'On October 2, the third year of Dingyuan, at the Battle of Langtoushan Fortress, Li first rushed to the top of the city, killed six enemies, and died!'
The Qin army's warriors rushed to the city through a ladder, and the melee on the city became more and more fierce. At the same time, the Ross defended the city continuously reinforced the city, and mushroom-shaped fireballs rose from time to time under the city. The Ross people threw gunpowder barrels under the city, which caused great casualties to the Qin army.
~~~~~~~~
The sun had already hid behind the mountain, and the whole world was covered with blood-colored dark red. The golden bell of the Qin army's central army rang, and the already tired Qin army siege retreated in an unyielding manner.
Not long after, the battlefield where the sound of killing sound suddenly fell silent. The fire heads under the city wall were burning tenaciously in the evening breeze. The wreckage of various siege equipment was everywhere. The corpses were piled up and down the city walls, and the air was filled with a strong breath of death. The white city walls had been dyed into a shocking red. The city walls were devastated. Many battlements and some of the walls below were collapsed. The city walls were covered with pits of varying depths. Many soldiers of the Ross army were carrying the mountainous bodies on the city walls, and everyone looked dazed. Such a fierce battle had never encountered such a fierce battle before.
"God of General, the number of casualties has been roughly counted!" The deputy general came to Kazakov's side and looked a little heavy.
"How is it?" Kazakov asked with a frown.
The deputy general replied with some difficulty: "In today's day of battle, our army killed more than 4,000 people, and nearly 7,000 people were killed or injured!"
Although Kazakov was expected by the casualties, he was still surprised when he heard this number. "So many" the deputy general nodded. "What about the enemy?" Kazakov asked urgently. The deputy general swallowed and whispered: "The enemy's casualties are so similar!" "What!" Kazakov was shocked. It was no wonder that he was like this. In such a siege battle, the casualties ratio between the offensive and the defense side should be between 1.5:1 and 3.5:1. The proportion of casualties only shows that the Qin army's combat power is much stronger than them. It is normal for the Qin army to have a combat power that is stronger than them. After all, the Qin army siege is the elite of the Second Legion, and the Ross army guarding the city is just the border army of the Ross Empire.
Kazakov stood by the wall and was silent for a while, looking at the Qin army camp outside the city and murmured: "If this continues, we can last for at most two days!" He turned around and ordered: "Immediately send a letter to the General of the Conquest South to inform him of the situation here. If there is no reinforcements within two days, the Langtoushan Fortress will be out of protection!" The deputy general was shocked, responded, and then retreated.
At the same time, the infantry of the Third Legion of the Qin Army, who blocked the main force of the Ross Army, had also fought bloody battles with the Ross Army for a whole day. Countless corpses floated on the small river between the two armies, which were shot by the Qin army's long-range crossbows when the Ross Army crossed the river and attacked. On the front of the Qin army camp, wolf smoke was shrouded in smoke and corpses were everywhere. The corpses of the soldiers on both sides were intertwined. Looking around, there were estimated that there were nearly 20,000 corpses. The battle that took place here has lasted for two days, and the troops on both sides paid a great price.
The sun gradually rose from the horizon. Kazakov looked at Ran Ran Xuri without any happiness, but was filled with worry. A thunderous sound of war drums suddenly came from his ears, and he subconsciously looked over, feeling a murderous aura covering the sky and the sun coming towards him.
Kazakov murmured something, then pulled out his scimitar and shouted: "Soldiers, fight the Qin army to the end and guard our territory!" The soldiers who were originally sluggish in morale couldn't help but feel energetic and shouted together. I have to admit that although Kazakov was not very good-looking, he had some military backbone.
