Zhao Yan fulfilled his promise.

The First Division lasted the most difficult half hour, and the price was that less than 2,000 people in the entire division finally evacuated successfully, and the remaining more than 10,000 best soldiers were all killed on the spot.

The division commander Zhao Yan was seriously injured and unconscious. He was defended by the personal guards and escaped from the battlefield by chance. He saved his life.

With the evacuation of the First Division, the first line of defense of the camp was officially broken. The price the Allies paid for this was more than 40,000 soldiers.

The wooden walls are full of corpses, which are difficult to pass through, and the plasma directly dyes the wooden walls bright red.

The Allied Commander breathed a sigh of relief when he took down the wooden wall.

According to common sense, the fall of a camp's wooden wall basically lost its defense ability. In the following close combat, the Allies had an absolute advantage in military strength.

The Allied Commander was confident that he would capture the camp within one day.

I never thought that the scene I saw would be like this when I crossed the wooden wall.

I saw that a second wooden wall was erected about a hundred meters away from the first wooden wall.

On the open space between the two walls, a trench of one meter and five deep is dug every five meters. There is a vertical channel between the trench, forming a complete defense system for the entire trench.

Fortifications such as horse-resisting horses and arrow towers are dotted like stars. The location of each key node is a three-bow-eight-ox bed crossbow or a catapult.

What's even more terrifying is that thousands of crossbowmen are hiding in the trench.

This is the second line of defense of the camp, which is jointly guarded by the Second Division of the Third Army and the Third Division.

Due to the limited time to build a camp, the camp designed by Fan Lihua is not a regular square, but forms a narrow and long strip along the east-west direction.

The entire camp basically blocked the Allied troops' way southward.

The Allied forces broke through and wanted to take a detour. They had to completely remove the camp before they could pass.

To this end, Fan Lihua only arranged a large number of troops on the front, and at the same time arranged the Fifth Division to be responsible for covering the two wings. The Fourth Division was responsible for guarding the second wooden wall and the last line of defense of the camp.

There was no time to erect a complete wooden wall on the back of the camp.

This arrangement can be said to have used resources to the extreme and achieved the optimization of military allocation.

The three lines of defense are linked together and progressing layer by layer to form a huge chain of arrays.

One of the functions of famous generals is this. They are proficient in marching and resettlement, logistics calculation, or camping.

Of course, the scientific organization of the Shanhaicheng army also played a great role. It is precisely because each division is equipped with a special engineering corps that such a camp can be built so quickly.

For the Allies, this was a big trouble.

"General, what should I do?" the adjutant asked.

The Allied Commander said in a dark face, "What else can you do? Take a strong attack!"

After a little rest, the Allies launched a second wave of offensive.

Since the beginning, the attack has been extremely unsatisfactory.

The vast army crossed the wooden wall and entered the open space, and fought with the sword and shield soldiers guarding here. At the same time, they had to endure the raid from the trench archers.

With the help of the cover of the trench, the crossbowmen were simply ruthless human flesh harvesters. They transformed into sharpshooters and carried out precise shooting on enemies on the front battlefield.

From time to time, there are arrow towers and bed crossbows to cover them.

Therefore, the Allies' advancement was extremely difficult. Almost every trench was built with human lives. What was even more speechless was that sometimes, after finally taking down a trench, it was taken back by the enemy in a blink of an eye.

At the most, the two armies tug-of-war around the trench four times.

On the second wooden wall, Fan Lihua was condescending, and from time to time, she mobilized the army flexibly according to the rhythm of the battlefield, commanding the crossbowmen in the trench to concentrate their firepower from time to time to annihilate the hardest bones.

The secret of commander Fan Lihua is on the five colorful flags.

Each trench in the defense zone is divided into three sections in the east, middle and west in advance.

Therefore, each area has a specific area number.

Through different flag combinations, Fan Lihua can convey different military orders, and even some more complex military orders can be achieved, such as commanding the crossbowman in the middle of the second trench to support the west.

There are special messengers in the trench to transfer attack targets in a timely manner according to the command of the colorful flag.

In this way, the whole conductor is like a wonderful concert. Every note is a weapon for killing people; every melody is a deadly ghost song.

Although "music" is beautiful, the picture is very cruel.

Under this formation, the vast number of allies became restricted and could not exert their advantages in military strength. Nearly 100,000 cavalry troops became decorations and were constantly playing soybeans.

Until noon, the second line of defense was still as stable as a rock.

What's scary is that more than 20,000 Allied soldiers were completely destroyed here. In just one morning, one-fifth of the 250,000 Allied troops were cut off.

More than 70% of them died at the hands of crossbowmen.

According to incomplete statistics, in one morning, the Third Legion consumed 150,000 arrows. If it were not for the complete logistics support system established by the Shanhaicheng Combat Readiness Administration, this alone would be very difficult.

Without being in the scene, you can't imagine the cruelty of war.

Behind the 50,000 dead soldiers, there are 50,000 families, and more than 200,000 people are involved. The total population is comparable to two third-level county towns with a population of over 100,000.

In the wilderness, this is very terrifying.

In just one morning, the war destroyed the dreams of 50,000 families.

…………

Baishi City, above the South City Gate Tower.

"What's going on? There's no progress in the morning?" Ruan Ping and other lords attracted the front-line commander, and when they came up, they cursed.

In the eyes of Ruan Ping and others, taking down the wooden wall is not considered a record at all.

"I will be ashamed!"

The Allied commanders were in trouble and dared not argue.

"Don't be stingy with the troops, and you must break through the enemy camp in the afternoon." Ruan Ping ordered.

Some things Ruan Ping could not say too bluntly. He could not tell the frontline generals that they were not stingy with their troops at all. The purpose was not to win, but to destroy Fan Lihua's army and take revenge on Shanhaicheng.

If you really want to say it, I am afraid that the front-line troops will immediately blow up the camp.

NPC sergeants are not a bunch of data, each soldier has his own thoughts and complete experience. If they were allowed to know the calculations behind this war, they would probably have no fighting spirit at all.

How can a group of troops without fighting spirit defeat the enemy?

"promise!"

The Allied Commander's voice was harsh, as if he could see something from the strange expressions of the lords. He felt a chill in his heart and he didn't dare to think about it carefully.

Looking at the commander's back, Ruan Ping was a little confused.

It’s not that the lords such as Ruan Ping are radical, but they really know their opponent Shanhaicheng very well. Especially when the teleportation array was destroyed this time, they had an intuitive feeling.

Shanhai City is very imaginative, but it is very meticulous.

Once you take action, you will almost never give the enemy a chance to turn the tables, and you will use all your strength to consolidate the fruits of victory. Therefore, there is not much time left for the Allies.

Ruan Ping was really worried that if he dragged on, the other legions of Shanhai City would have already arrived. Faced with such an opponent, Ruan Ping would no longer dare to take any luck.

"If you can fight a little, just fight a little!"

…………

In the afternoon, the war continued.

With Ruan Ping's lecture, the Allied Commander made up his mind and decided to exchange his troops for time. For this reason, the Commander did not hesitate to arrange a supervision team and forced the soldiers to rush forward.

"Those who dare to retreat will definitely be killed and unpardoned!"

In addition, the commander also set up a reward: "Who is the first to rush to the second wooden wall, reward 5,000 gold coins and promoted to the commander-in-chief."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

The Allied soldiers who were still unaware of the situation, whistled and charged towards the opposite side. No matter how fierce the rain of arrows was, they could not stop their desire for glory and wealth.

The soldiers of the Third Legion clearly felt that the enemy's attack became even more fierce.

"What a bunch of perverts!"

The commander of the Second Division was Song Jia's younger brother Song Wu.

Although Song Wu was stunned, he was really a powerful general. All morning, Song Wu charged at the front line. During the battle, the enemy was stabbed in the thigh, and after a little bandage, he rushed back.

Others are slightly injured but not off the front line, while Song Wu is seriously injured but never leaves the battlefield. If it weren't for the player's unique physical support, and Song Wu's deep internal strength, he would probably not be able to withstand it at all.

In the afternoon, it was still the case.

Seeing that the Allies were suffering so much casualties and were still rushing forward, Song Wu was really unable to understand.

This is the essential difference between the army in the wilderness territory and the ancient army.

The Shanhaicheng army is all professional soldiers, and the elite troops in other territories are the same.

The lords are not fools, and they know that if they do not form professional armies, they will not be on the same level as the armies in other territories.

That's right, the war in the wilderness is far more cruel than in ancient times.

Just like the Allies, one-fifth of the dead were killed, and still maintained high morale.
