wicked immortal

A rain of arrows like migratory locusts shot from inside the city wall towards the Daqin infantry outside the city.

One by one, the Daqin soldiers fell down, and one by one the Daqin soldiers climbed up, and the huge gap was flattened by the blood bull, and the Daqin soldiers rushed in like a torrent.

Just as Zhao Yuan climbed up the city wall, the bloody cattle herds also poured into the city.

The city of Tongzhou was narrow, so it couldn't accommodate hundreds of huge blood bulls charging at the same time. After entering the city, hundreds of blood bulls scattered, some ran wildly on the city wall, and some ran wildly inside the city.

The blood bulls themselves are invulnerable to swords and guns, and they don't like fighting at all. Even if they are intercepted by a master, they just blindly charge. This way of fighting has caused huge casualties to the crusader infantry.

In fact, the casualties came second. The blood bull's greatest contribution was to disrupt the defensive formation of the crusaders' infantry.

The infantry is different from the cavalry. Even when the cavalry is alone, it is a mobile murder fortress. The infantry, on the other hand, pays attention to coordinated operations. Advantage.

The whole city of Tongzhou was boiling.

There were shouts of killing everywhere, the billowing smoke covered the sky, and the raging flames burned everything. When the siege battle lasted less than a stick of incense, the solid walls of the city were knocked down by the bloody bulls. The gates of the city were also opened.

The war progressed to a bloody and brutal infantry battle.

The 11 Crusaders elite cavalry outside the city had been scattered and defeated by the bloody bulls. Now, the 5 highly motivated Daqin infantry faced the [-] panic-stricken Crusaders infantry.

11 vs. [-], the infantry of the Great Qin Empire already had an absolute advantage in numbers, while the infantry of the Crusaders, whose commander was killed in battle, was already demoralized. , immediately collapsed across the board.

Of course, at this time the siege of the Great Qin army and the Crusaders cavalry had lost a lot of manpower, but it had no effect on the siege.

In fact, the infantry of the Great Qin Empire was already brave in the world, and the [-] crusaders cavalry were inferior to the Great Qin infantry in all aspects. Facing the wolves and tigers of the Great Qin infantry, it is reasonable to be defeated like a mountain...

……

The Daqin infantry followed Zhao Yuan's back and carried out a bloody massacre.

It was the first time for the infantrymen of the Great Qin Empire, who had suffered more than a year of cowardice, to be so elated. One by one, they bravely killed the enemy. Suddenly, in the city of Tongzhou, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and there were crumbled crosses everywhere. The army and the Daqin infantry who were killing loudly.

The people of Daqin in Tongzhou City also took advantage of the fire to loot and joined the team hunting the Crusaders.

The originally arrogant and domineering crusaders were like rats crossing the street. No matter where they ran, someone would intercept them. Even if they knelt down and surrendered, they would often have a knife cut in their necks.

The infantry of the Great Qin Empire was red-eyed, as long as they were wearing the armor of the Crusaders, they were all targets of attack.

This bloody massacre lasted for a full two hours before it ended.

After the battle, less than [-] of the [-] Crusaders were captured, and the rest were massacred. Inside and outside the city of Tongzhou, there was a shocking layer of blood, and the coagulated blood was black and red, which was shocking Inexplicable palpitations.

Incomplete corpses are scattered all over the snow field.

On the first night, there were seriously injured crusaders and dying horses screaming everywhere on the snowy field. On the second day, both the wounded and dying horses were frozen to death, solidified into a moving scene of pain. attitude.

In the Battle of Tongzhou, the Great Qin Empire won more with less, and won a complete victory. However, 11 infantrymen were also severely injured. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was almost half lost.

In fact, during the siege, except for the initial rain of arrows that killed thousands of people, most of the soldiers of the Great Qin were killed or injured when fighting the Crusaders cavalry. When the infantry of the Great Qin Empire invaded After breaking through the city wall, there was almost no resistance, and it became a unilateral massacre.

Infantry vs. cavalry was inherently at a disadvantage. Even if it was the Daqin cavalry with bloody oxen and two thousand pieces of jade, the battle between infantry and cavalry was still unimaginably tragic.

In fact, you can think about it, what is the concept of 5 Crusader cavalry?Fifty thousand cavalry is not 11, but [-] killing machines riding tall horses. In terms of mobility and numbers, the combat effectiveness of [-] cavalry is several times that of [-] infantry.

Although the number of casualties in this battle was not many, its tragic degree even surpassed the war when the Crusaders captured the imperial capital. After all, when the imperial capital fell, the Daqin infantry stood on the wall to defend, and this time, the Daqin The infantry not only marched for 150 miles in a hurry, but also fought against the Crusaders who had [-] cavalry and steep walls as defenses.

Historians spoke highly of this battle, and believed that although the blood bulls played a pivotal role in this battle, what was more important was the senseless courage and fearless determination of the Daqin infantry.

When you are sitting by the fire and drinking hot mutton soup, you can't imagine what it's like to march on the dangerous snow field in the freezing cold and blizzard-ridden night.

People who have never been on the battlefield can't imagine how painful it is to fight with a crusader cavalry on a tall horse with a short knife in hand.

If an infantryman wants to kill a cavalryman, it is not much easier than ascending to the sky. However, if a cavalryman wants to kill an infantryman, he just raises his long knife, and with the impact of the horse, with a light wave of his arm, the infantryman's head will fall to the ground. , blood spilled into the sky...

……

The Crusaders in Tongzhou were hit hard by almost annihilation of the entire army.

Of the 4 elite cavalry, no more than [-] escaped. More than [-] cavalry were all killed on the battlefield, and more than [-] horses were captured.

In fact, the cruelty of this battle exceeded the statistics of the Daqin military, because at least half of the thousands of crusader cavalry who fled were frozen to death in the wasteland.

On winter nights in the Great Qin Empire, if you didn't make enough preparations, it would be perfectly normal to be frozen to death. Every winter, the Great Qin Empire would freeze to death how many homeless people.

Zhao Yuan's rhetoric that he would let the soldiers of Daqin in Tongzhou and mutton soup come true.

When the battle was over, Tongzhou City was still dark, and the flag of the Great Qin Empire was waving in the wind.

The victorious Qin soldiers drank a bowl of steaming broth.

Of course, the hot soup is not mutton soup, but horse meat.

In this battle, more than [-] war horses were killed. Fortunately, it is winter now, and the corpses of the war horses will not be wasted. They can be saved as military rations, which has improved the food of the Daqin army...

……

That night, the gongs and drums in Tongzhou City shook the sky, and the red lanterns were hung high.

The common people of Tongzhou sang and danced on the blood-stained streets.

There are earth-shattering cheers and firecrackers everywhere.

Zhao Yuan, once again became a legend.

The villain Zhao Yuan is no longer a shame, but a supreme honor.

When Zhao Yuan was patrolling the streets, thousands of people flocked behind, shouting Zhao Yuan's name.

The Daqin soldiers, who had suffered for more than a year, were welcomed by the common people. Flowers, wine, and all kinds of food were presented continuously. This made the soldiers flattered and moved to tears.

As a soldier, there is nothing more painful than losing a city or land. For more than a year, almost every soldier in the Great Qin Dynasty has held back his energy.

The humiliation of more than a year has finally been washed away today.

While the soldiers were filled with emotion, they looked at Zhao Yuan with fanatical awe.

There is no doubt that all the credit for the military victory in Tongzhou City this time belongs to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan's status in the Zhenshuiguan army was at its peak, and some gentry in Lianzhou City expressed their loyalty to Zhao Yuan one after another, donating countless military supplies, and they seemed to be willing to be overwhelmed.

However, Zhao Yuan did not accept the congratulations from the gentry and celebrities after he toured Tongzhou City and boosted his morale, but held a meeting with a group of senior generals in the same room.

On the wall of the room, there is a huge military map. On the military map, important passes and cities near Tongzhou City are depicted in detail.

Zhao Yuan sat at the head with a serious face.

A group of high-ranking generals looked at the huge military map, each with dull expressions on their faces.
