Chapter 1745 surprise attack

The Degan army continued to attack fiercely, fighting very lively, but they were unable to break through the Qin army's defense line. Often, the troops climbed the city and rolled and crawled back after a little contact with the Qin army. They seemed to be psychologically afraid of the Qin army, and such an army that dared not fight to the city and would not do anything great.

Drew, the King of Decan, was so angry that he could not fight, but he had no way to vent his anger.

The battle lasted for a whole day, and the Decans had no gains except for leaving thousands of corpses.

In the big tent, Drew looked at the generals with a gloomy face, and the generals lowered their heads, looking ashamed.

With a loud bang, Drew slapped the table hard. The generals were startled, raised their heads, and quickly lowered their heads.

"How was this battle fought? Nearly 100,000 troops besieged for a whole day, but it turned out to be~~~~!"

Ledelong said: "I think the army is already afraid of the Qin army!" A strange pleasure flashed in his eyes.

Although everyone was unwilling to admit it, they had nothing to say.

Drew sat back heavily, sighed in annoyance, and looked at Lederon, "What do you think you should do?"

Ledelong said: "The most elite troops of the Qin army have not appeared yet, I am a little worried!"

"What are you talking nonsense? What is the most elite force that has not appeared yet? Are the Qin army that has faced us these days second-rate?" Cantru asked.

Ledelong glanced at him, clearly showing disdain. "Our army has ever fought against the Qin army! Of course, I know a lot about the situation of the Qin army! The most elite of the Qin army is not the army you see at the moment, but a cavalry unit~~" I couldn't help but think of what happened that day, and my face turned pale, "Although that cavalry unit is not as many as the Qin army in front of me, it is extremely brave and good at fighting. If the Qin army in front of me is a wolf, then the elite of the Qin army is a tiger!~~~" Everyone couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Ledellon continued: "The most terrifying thing is the heavy iron cavalry with 20,000 people and heavy armor wrapped in steel! The army of hundreds of thousands of people in our army that day was defeated by them!"

Everyone couldn't help but turn pale when they heard this.

Drew asked displeasedly: "What do you mean by saying these now?"

Ledellon said: "I don't think we should be consuming here! We should advance eastward to join the army of the other two countries! Otherwise, I'm afraid I will repeat my mistakes!"

Drew hesitated.

Canterru sneered: "Don't think that you can't resist our Deccan army! Are we still afraid of his 500,000 cavalry?"

Ledelon frowned and said, "Now is not the time to be fierce and angry. If the Qin cavalry seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, I am afraid it would be too late to regret it!"

Drew hesitated for a while and said, "I miss you too much! Just as Cantru said, are our army's 600,000 people still afraid of his 50,000 cavalry? Besides, wouldn't it be laughed at if I give up under such an advantage?"

Lederon sighed, "I hope your Highness is right!"

In the next few days, the Deccan army continued to attack Sangqi. Although the Qin army was brave and good at fighting, it could not stop the bombardment of countless catapults on the city wall. Signs of the collapse had appeared in many places in the city wall.

At the same time, the other two coalition forces were attacking the Olisa defense line. The war was in full swing, and the coalition forces of the two countries had the upper hand. However, it was impossible to break through the Olisa defense line in a short period of time.

At this time, where were Ma Chao and the others? It turned out that Ma Chao led 50,000 Canglang Camp cavalry to the lower reaches of the Nabada River. Then he set up a pontoon bridge and crossed the Nabada River that day.

The 50,000 Qin cavalry rushed straight towards Aida. Aida is located on the south side of the Nabada River, within the territory of the Deccan Kingdom. It is the most important city in the northern part of the Deccan Kingdom. It is not only developed commerce, but also a military center with a population of tens of thousands.

The sun was about to set, and the rays of light spread all over the earth. The people of Aida were immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. The smoke from the cooking stove surrounds. The friends they met greeted each other warmly, and the children chased and joked. The sentries on the city wall seemed particularly lazy.

A sentryman accidentally glanced outside the city, was stunned for a moment, and pushed his companion next to him, "Hey! Look what that is?"

The companion looked in the direction of his finger and saw countless black people coming towards this side, facing the setting sun, unable to see it. "Maybe it was the army transferred from the country!" The sentries didn't care much.

A moment later, a team of cavalry rushed towards this side quickly. A sentry laughed and said, "What are they doing?"

When the cavalry was so close, the sentries on the city tower were stunned. They found that the other party's outfit was not the same as theirs. Then their faces changed, and some sentry shouted at the top of their voice: "Enemma!" The sound suddenly stopped, and a sharp arrow shot through his chest.

Almost at the same time, the pair of cavalry rushed towards the city wall and the gate hole.

The defenders were overwhelmed with horror.

Ayida's original peace was immediately broken. Soon after, the Qin army occupied Ayida, an important town in the northern part of Degan. After burning hundreds of thousands of grain and grass stocked in Ayida, 50,000 Qin army cavalry rushed north. Let me mention here that each of the 20,000 heavily armored cavalry of the Qin army was equipped with four horses, and ordinary cavalry only had two horses for long-distance raids. People were resting on horseback along the way, in order to maximize the speed of cavalry movement.

The Deccan army had been in a stalemate under the city of Sanqi for more than half a month. The previous sharpness no longer existed, but was mechanically executing the king's attack order. Despite this, the situation in Sanqi was still not optimistic. Many parts of the city walls had already collapsed, and now they were just temporarily blocked with stones and wood. The defense had no advantage at all.

"Your Majesty, just add another force and we can conquer the city of Sanchi!" General Canterro said excitedly.

The generals nodded and agreed. Drew also looked excited. Only Lederon, who was standing in the corner, had a complicated expression. No wonder he wanted to protect this city, but now he has become an accomplice of foreign enemies. This incident makes people helpless and quite ironic.

"Lederon, what do you think?" Drew asked Lederon.

Lederon smiled bitterly, "I have no opinion!" He gave a chest salute to Drew, "I wish His Majesty will soon become the conqueror of Malva!"

Drew laughed and glanced at Lederon, "Don't worry, I will not forget my promise. After I capture Sanchi, I will let you be the Lord of Malva!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lederon thanked, but his heart was mixed and he couldn't tell what it felt.

The next day, the Degan army launched the largest offensive since the siege. The 240,000 troops attacked Sangqi City from east, west and south respectively, like a surging sea tide, which was astonishing as the rocks thrown by thousands of catapults flying into the city like raindrops, and smoke and dust inside and outside the city wall were everywhere; the Malva defenders were frightened and pale. Some timids threw down their weapons and ran down the city. The Qin army officers made the formation on the spot, which promptly prevented the collapse of the Malva army.

Half an hour later, the Degan army rushed into the city at several collapse points. The Qin army resisted the enemy several times its own. The war was very fierce. The soldiers of the Degan army seemed to have taken aphrodisiac, and they all looked very crazy, while the Qin army soldiers were as cold as a mountain, with only a sharp murderous aura in their eyes.

The city walls continued to collapse and gaps, the Degan army rushed in from these gaps, and the Qin army continued to push up like a firefighting team. At this time, the Malva army had no effect at all. Sima Yi was afraid that they would drag the Qin army back, so he retreated the waste to the palace. This move moved the Malvas and was ashamed.

The collapse of gaps became more and more, and the Qin army's troops gradually became too short.

Ma Yue, covered in blood, ran to Sima Yi and said anxiously: "Sir, there are too many enemies, we can't resist it!"

Sima Yi took a look at the scene in front of him. The yellow waves connected from the city to the outside of the city, endless and fiercely hitting the black front. The front was too thin compared to the endless waves. It was like a thin dam blocking the turbid waves, which seemed extremely dangerous and extremely unreal.

"Retreat!" Sima Yi spit out two words.

The horn of the order sounded rapidly. The Qin army immediately retreated toward the palace in uncommitted ways, but the Degan army was clenched.

One part of the Qin army got rid of the Degan army and retreated into the royal city, and the other part gathered on the main street in front of the palace and suddenly launched a counterattack against the Degan army that was stalking. This caught the opponent off guard. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers rushed into the enemy's bush like tigers entering a flock of sheep, roaring and sprinkling the enemy's blood. The Degan army was frightened, resisting in a hurry, and retreating continuously. The front team squeezed the formation of the rear team, and the entire Degan army became more and more chaotic. If this continues, they will be defeated by the Qin army.

However, at this moment, reinforcements from the Deccan army appeared.

The Qin army knew that the best opportunity had been lost, so they retreated decisively. Tens of thousands of Qin army left nearly 10,000 enemy bodies and retreated into the royal city.

The city gate was closed immediately.

Not long after, nearly 200,000 Degan soldiers surrounded the royal city.

Sima Yi walked into the palace hall, and Liert quickly walked up to him.

"Sir Changshi, the city has been broken, what should we do? What are the reinforcements from the Qin Empire?" Liert said anxiously.

Sima Yi looked as usual, "Your Highness, don't worry! The reinforcements will arrive soon!" Although he said so, he was actually unsure. He didn't know if Ma Chao and the others could arrive in time. If he could not arrive in time, not only would the previous strategic concept not be realized, but the Second Legion in the city might also suffer a catastrophe. Although the Qin army's combat power was far above the other side, the difference in strength was too great. Under the current circumstances, the Degan army did not need to attack the palace at all. It was enough to throw stones into the palace day and night with a catapult.
