Chapter 421 Front
When the twenty trebuchets were launched at full power, the flaming shells were like sparks, piercing the night and pouring down from the sky, shattering the Korean army's solid city defense bit by bit.
The war turned the originally peaceful mountains and fields into a purgatory. It was originally green mountains and green waters, but now it is based on the flames of war and beacon smoke. Everything has been plunged into a whirlpool. The distorted scene is enough to make the weak-minded people despair. .
It was late at night, and the Korean military guard stood on top of the city. Although his lips were cracked, his eyes were firm.
"How many waves have been sent out?"
"This is the seventeenth wave since the Qin Army built its siege camp. It's just that the Qin Army's defenses are very tight, and brothers can't destroy those damn vehicles!"
A dark night attack destroyed the Qin army's siege camp. However, dozens of attacks failed.
The general of the Korean army spoke with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
Compared with the actual damage, the defender was more worried about the wavering of people's hearts. The Qin army built a great momentum, but did not actually attack the city, just to make the Koreans fearful and not fight against the enemy.
However, the guard general held tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Huayang City, but he had no choice but to defend.
"General, look!"
At the break of dawn, a halo envelopes the earth, and figures in the distance are disturbed. The Korean army on the top of the city noticed something unusual, and the soldiers beside the guard were a little panicked.
"Are they reinforcements from the Qin Army?"
"No, it's reinforcements from the royal capital!"
The guard breathed a sigh of relief. As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the disturbing figure becomes clearer and clearer to the eyes of the Korean soldiers guarding the city.
White armor army!
The most elite troops under the command of the Bloody Marquis and the strongest field army in South Korea.
The Qin army had also discovered anomalies, such as the convex-shaped siege camp. They suddenly changed the rhythm of the unscrupulous attack for several days and began to change their defense deployment.
A large number of crossbowmen and heavy armor soldiers ran out from the rear camp and began to set up defenses on the outside. The Qin army had already dug trenches on the outside and arranged antlers and caltrops to block the Korean cavalry.
However, for the Qin army, the most important thing at the moment was the siege camp. There are machine beasts and carts inside. If it is destroyed in the war, the Qin army's siege ability and power will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the defense of the siege camp is a top priority.
The light of dawn shines, but all the soldiers of the Qin army have not yet taken their positions. On the opposite side, before the Korean cavalry arrived, the cold sound was already heard from the sky.
The soldiers of the heavy armored army held up their shields to block the crossbow bolts from the Korean army.
South Korea's crossbow making skills are the best in the world, and its range and power are stronger than those of other countries. However, as South Korea's power has declined, its territory has been annexed by other countries. Now, it has shrunk into a corner, and its former advantages have gradually disappeared.
The reduction in financial resources has slowed down the replacement of military technology, but even so, the Korean army's crossbow is still a sharp weapon in the world.
A round of arrows swept across, and in the siege camp, the Qin army's position was somewhat chaotic. However, under the command of many centurions, the Qin army still entered their respective positions in an orderly manner.
"shoot!"
The crossbowmen fired, and the arrows headed towards the Korean army array. The White Armor Army array was disturbed, but order was quickly restored and they continued to move towards the Qin Army camp.
"White Armor Army?"
Yang Duanhe stood on the sentry tower, looking at the appearance of the White Armored Army, and thought to himself that they were indeed the strongest field army in South Korea.
Its elite level is no less than that of the Qin army.
After the White Armored Army marched to a certain distance, the array opened up, and the Korean cavalry galloped from both sides, like two dragons, rushing towards the Qin Army's siege camp.
The Korean infantry also rushed over.
The intention was obvious, which was to destroy the Qin army's siege camp at all costs.
Arrows from both sides exchanged views, but they could not stop the hearts of the soldiers who were not afraid of life and death.
"Heavy armored army, set up formation!"
As the flag waved and the order was given, the crossbowmen retreated backwards, and the heavy armored soldiers in front tightened their array, with shields stacked on top of each other and densely packed, forming a solid line of defense around the camp.
South Korea is not the place where horses come from. It is no better than Qin and Zhao. The number of cavalry in the Korean army is smaller, and they are only among a few elite troops. Generally speaking, Han generals are very cautious about the use of cavalry. But now, they are attacking with all their strength.
Those who were good at riding in the Han cavalry army took the lead and crossed the ditch with their riding skills, hoping to rush into the Qin army's array.
A touch.
The horse's hooves collided with the shield, making a crisp sound. However, the spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields caused these riders to fall down one by one. The horses fell into the ditch, were pierced by sharp wood, and quickly lost their vitality.
The Korean army attacked fiercely, piled up corpses, and quickly filled the trench. The infantrymen came from behind with guns in hand and began to charge into the formation.
The Qin army's defense was linear, but the Han army's attack started from one point to another.
A small puncture would naturally collapse the Qin army's front.
The equipment of both sides is almost the same. When the Korean army broke through the antlers, filled the trench with enough corpses and sandbags, and broke through the Qin army's defenses, the contest between the two armies became a pure waste of human lives.
"General, the first line of defense is about to be broken."
Beside Yang Duanhe, the staff accompanying the army reminded him. But as the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, he was still calm at this time.
"Abandon the first trench and let the frontline soldiers retreat. Send out three hundred-man reserve teams to rebuild the front."
"promise!"
The Korean army came from afar and the intensity of the offensive surprised Yang Duanhe.
Fortunately, two trenches were dug outside the siege camp. Just when the Qin army was reorganizing its defense line, the Baijia army's array moved again.
The Korean army adopts a three-service system, and the upper armies are all elite. Just when the elite three thousand-man troops of the White Armored Army came out, the backup did not follow. The infantry array began to move in both directions. Among the central army, terrifying chariots covered with iron sheets and inlaid with giant beast patterns emerged from the center. Then push forward.
When the infantry of the upper army had cleared enough distance, the charioteers on the chariots waved the bridle ropes in their hands, and the four horses pulling the chariots were guided and began to charge into the formation.
Chariots require no more horses than cavalry war horses, they just need enough power.
Yang Duanhe frowned. Generally, the chariots rush in front, and the infantry follows behind. But the commander of the White Armored Army was uncharacteristically different.
After the Korean army flattened the defense line, they rushed over in one fell swoop, hoping to give the Qin army a fatal blow.
The so-called famous general is one who integrates various tactics between the two armies and is able to use them to their advantage.
"It's so beautiful!"
General Han is very keen on grasping fighter opportunities. At this moment, the Qin army's rear defense line has not been completely constructed. Once the chariot rushes, the Qin army will definitely be in chaos.
The Qin soldiers on the front line cannot retreat, and the array behind them will also be broken through.
"Let all the reserve forces in the rear be dispatched to stabilize the front."
"promise!"
Yang Duanhe's face was solemn. This was an opponent worth waiting for.
"Bai Yifei?"
