Chapter 15: Endless Death(1/2)
"General attack!"
Accompanied by the dull sound of war drums, another group of heavy infantry approached the city wall.
After killing the fire dragon summoned by Zhou Yu with his bare hands, Zhao Futu was not eager to do it himself. Instead, he recalled the sword and shield soldiers who had suffered heavy losses, and replaced it with another heavy infantry unit of 5,000 people and rushed forward. If only
Facing Zhou Yu alone, Zhao Futu was not very afraid, but if he added Sun Ce, the overlord of Jiangdong, and Gan Ning, the thief of Jinfan, he could be sure that he was definitely no match. Facing three top historical generals at the same time,
Even the ghost Lu Bu is not easy to win.
Boom!
Dozens of catapults began to operate. When the second wave of heavy infantry rushed onto the city wall, those famous historical generals could no longer do anything. In terms of morale and combat effectiveness, after many killings, there was now some shortage of military rations.
None of the Jiangdong Army was Zhao Futu's opponent. The first round of attack lasted for half an hour. Zhao Futu sent out 8,000 troops, including 3,000 sword and shield bearers, 2,000 spearmen, 1,000 sword and ax bearers, 1,000 heavy armor soldiers and
2000 Archers.
Although less than 3,000 troops returned in the end, they also caused thousands of casualties to the Jiangdong Army!
The casualty ratio was almost five to one. From any point of view, Zhao Futu's losses were greater. But when the second batch of heavy infantry rushed to the city wall, the Jiangdong Army, which had just experienced a battle, immediately suffered losses.
It got bigger. Every time they killed two or three enemy troops, they had to pay one casualty. In just one cup of tea, the casualty ratio was reduced to three to one. Zhao Futu had already lost nearly six to seven thousand soldiers.
Army, but Jiangdong Army’s casualties have reached more than 2,000, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster!
Zhao Futu's military strength advantage is obvious.
The entire Jiangling City only has 10,000 to 20,000 troops, including their newly recruited soldiers.
In the successive battles with Liu Bei, Sun Jian's losses were not small. The 40,000 to 50,000 troops who entered the Jingzhou area, deducting the 10,000 troops stationed near Hanjin, were the only ones stationed in the Jiangling area. Zhao Futu's plan was very serious.
Simple, that is to use the superiority of troops to push the city in front of them. If that doesn't work, they will use up all their troops. He doesn't believe that those famous historical generals are all tough men!
At noon time.
Zhao Futu temporarily stopped the attack and ordered the soldiers to make meals.
At the end of the first wave of attacks, Zhao Futu lost nearly 12,000 people, and Jiangdong Army also lost 5,000 to 6,000 people. This was even when historical generals were dispatched. Except for the initial wave of attacks, which suffered greater losses,
Later, both sides lost men and horses at a ratio of close to two to one. The advantage of the wheel battle gave the enemy no time to rest. Even historical generals found it difficult to take a rest. Fifty thousand men and horses took turns in the battle, and they invaded the city several times.
Unfortunately, they were repulsed by Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and others.
If it were other armies, after suffering such heavy casualties and carrying out such a high-intensity attack, their morale would probably be low.
But Zhao Futu's army was not like this at all!
The soldiers still had indifferent expressions on their faces, silently lighting fires and making food, then picked up their weapons and reorganized into formation.
"Bah!"
"What kind of army are these? Are they all dead soldiers?"
Zhou Yu stared at the military camp 500 meters outside the city wall with a gloomy face, seemingly in disbelief: "The casualties are close to 20%, why don't they react at all?"
"Captain!"
"I think that person seems to be good at sorcery and can control other people's minds!"
A historical figure who looked like a civilian official came out and said with a solemn expression: "That's why these soldiers are so brave and fearless of death! The enemy has 50,000 troops, but we only have 18,000 left. If this continues
, I’m afraid Jiangling City cannot be defended!”
With the 50,000 people under Zhao Futu's command, plus the 15,000 people brought by Bao Sanniang, Zhao Futu's military strength exceeded 60,000.
There were already piles of corpses under the city wall, and several places had been breached, only to be recaptured by the fierce generals of Soochow. Such heavy casualties did not make Zhao Futu hesitate at all. He just took a rest and launched another attack.
There are still many soldiers in his hands. There are still 30,000 troops stationed in Yong'an, 20,000 new troops in Jiangzhou area, and 15,000 troops stationed in Chengdu. Jianning and Yunnan are still recruiting troops, and it is estimated that there will be more troops soon.
More than 10,000 new soldiers appeared.
With the nightmare space as his backing, even if he doesn't have any famous ministers or generals, he can still compete with these historical monarchs!
"no!"
"We must kill the enemy commander, otherwise even if we defend Jiangling, we will not be able to stop Liu Bei." Sun Ce said slowly.
Boom, boom, boom!
With the dull sound of war drums, the heavy infantry strategy began to advance.
Because of his material advantages in the later period, Zhao Futu gathered almost all the powerful reserves in the Shuzhong region of Yunnan. He had countless weapons and armor in his hands, and nearly half of his troops were equipped according to the standard of heavy infantry. There were also some in several cities.
With enough reserves to equip tens of thousands of people, craftsmen were building ordnance overnight under the control of the nightmare space. Not only in the initially occupied areas, but also in Jingnan and other places. The shortage of food does not mean the lack of copper and iron. The same is true over there.
We are also recruiting more soldiers.
"Break the formation!"
A glimmer of light burst out from Gan Ning's eyes, and he focused on Zhao Futu in the distance.
The Soochow army glanced at the fierce generals, and then nodded slowly. The enemy army did not have any strong generals. They only saw a few female generals there. If they could break the formation, it would be easy to repel them. Zhou Yu also hesitated for a moment.
, then gave a few instructions, and then said: "I'm here to clear the way for you, and go and kill the enemy general!"
Woohoo!
Facing Zhao Futu's second wave of attacks, the Soochow Army uncharacteristically launched a counterattack.
Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other historical generals took the lead and rushed down the city wall, followed immediately by groups of elite troops. Sun Ce roared angrily and slammed the weapon in his hand towards
With a forward wave, a phantom of a tiger descending from the mountain appeared, and a large number of soldiers were torn into pieces. Gan Ning's force value was even higher than that of Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others. He led the remaining soldiers
The Jinfan thief was like a sharp knife breaking through the heavy armor square formation.
——"The flame dragon breaks through the sky!"
Zhou Yu stood on the city wall, and a group of magicians gathered near him. Then a fire emerged in the formation, and then turned into a lifelike fire dragon. One, two, three, three fire dragons emerged from the formation.
They surged out, letting out a thundering roar, and then rushed towards the infantry square in front of them. The army of thousands of people was instantly defeated by three fire dragons. A large number of soldiers fell in the sea of fire, and there was a smell of scorching in the air.
With the smell of meat, Zhao Futu's three thousand soldiers and horses were destroyed with just one move.
Zhou Yu's face was a little pale, but his expression was quite excited, because Sun Ce had already rushed into the enemy's camp along the line broken by the fire dragon.
"careful!"
Zhao Futu's expression changed and he ordered without hesitation: "Wudang Feijun! Attack!"
The sound of the war drums became violent, and groups of brave soldiers with disheveled hair rushed out. They faced Sun Ce's personal guards in front of them, but were blocked by the Jinfan thieves led by Gan Ning. A fierce fighting broke out under the city wall.
Bao Sanniang had already fought with Gan Ning, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth with just one move. Hua Wan rushed out to help, but was blocked by Cheng Pu. Sun Ce rushed into Zhao Futu in front of him, and others
The famous Soochow generals also invaded the military formation.
Dangdang block!
The Xuanbing heavy sword in Zhao Futu's hand turned into a sword light that filled the sky, blocking the Jiangdong Little Overlord's successive attacks.
"Huh?"
Sun Ce looked at Zhao Futu in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by the opponent's strength.
At first, he killed Zhou Yu's Fire Dragon Dance with his bare hands, which made him think that the opponent was only proficient in spells, but he did not expect that his martial arts skills were also first-rate.
"Such a person will be a serious nuisance in the future, and we must get rid of him here!"
Sun Ce's eyes grew colder and he had murderous intentions. In his heart, he raised Zhao Futu's threat level to that of Liu Bei. The Jiangdong Army had always thought that Liu Bei was the biggest enemy, but they did not expect this rising figure in Yunnan and Sichuan.
The commander-in-chief of Zhao Jun is also a dangerous figure.
Boom!
A dull explosion sounded, and a large area of soldiers around him were knocked down.
——"Powerful Titan!"
Zhao Futu roared, and his body began to expand rapidly, because he found that the right wing had been breached by Zu Mao and others.
Due to the lack of top historical generals, although Zhao Futu had many soldiers, he could not stop the enemy from breaking the formation. Those historical generals were as powerful as a thousand. Even if he was surrounded by soldiers, his injuries would gradually worsen.
However, he still invaded the military formation bit by bit, and many people had already fought against his female generals.
Ding!
The cold prompt sound of the nightmare space sounded:
"Contractor number 1013!...Our general Wang Tao was killed by Cheng Pu!...Our army's morale decreased!...The enemy's morale increased!..."
A moment.
A trace of blood appeared in Zhao Futu's eyes.
When he turned around, he immediately saw a head with a delicate face flying up and landing on the ground with a crash.
Cheng Pu, who looked covered in blood, grabbed the head on the ground and laughed loudly: "I have killed the enemy general! Will you only send some women to fight in battle?"
"Roar!"
The thundering roar turned into a wave of air and spread out.
Although Zhao Futu had long been prepared for this cruel killing plane, some of his generals might die in battle. But when all this actually happened, he was still filled with anger and murderous intent, which was uncontrollable.
His anger made him almost unable to control himself. He completely exposed his back to Sun Ce's eyes and rushed towards Cheng Pu in the distance.
To be continued...
