Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 541 First Battle
"so much!"

Zhao Kang only felt that there was some trouble. The combined strength of both sides was 40, and they were still adding reinforcements. What kind of concept was this?

You must know that this is not the age of firearms in later generations, where most enemy troops can be eliminated in one round of fire coverage.

This was a confrontation of cold weapons, with both sides fighting face to face with real swords and guns.

Zhao Kang could imagine that at this moment, people all over Xuzhou were attacking and defending the city, day and night.

It's no wonder that Jingguo's current Jizhou and Yanzhou sides were defeated by the Qi army.

Xiao Feiyu's army contained all the main forces of Jingguo. In this case, Jingguo did not have any extra troops to resist Qi.

even!
Zhao Kang squinted his eyes and murmured: "Isn't this guy trying to use Qi Guo's hand to achieve the goal of destroying Jing?"

"What did you say, Imperial Master?" Gao Yuan was startled when he heard the word Mie Jing.

Zhao Kang said, "I think the army led by Xiao Feiyu is just to contain us. His real purpose is to allow Qi to break through Huajing City as quickly as possible!"

Gao Yuan was stunned and then thought about Zhao Kang's words, and nodded after a moment: "It's very possible. Although there are many enemy troops in Xuzhou, seven-tenths of our Jingguo's troops are now committed to them. They will also fight in a while. If we don’t come down, even if we win in the end, we will both lose.”

"But the Qi army in Jizhou has not encountered any strong resistance, and they have captured most of the city in Jizhou steadily."

"If this continues, I am afraid that in the end, our army will no longer be able to stop the Qi army from advancing!"

"It seems that the commander of Qi Army will have to deal with it more harshly."

Zhao Kang smiled coldly and looked at the direction of Jizhou marked on the map.

He was not in a hurry to let the Suzaku Army lead artillery to Jizhou for support.

Although the cannon is powerful, it is too bulky and has low maneuverability. The Suzaku Army was previously taken away by Wu Yu with five thousand Divine Thunder Army.

There are only 5000 people now. Sending these 5000 people to Jizhou is no different from delivering food.

The power of artillery can only be exerted under the protection of sufficient troops.

Otherwise, if the enemy's cavalry rushes forward, the artillery will become a liability.

"Secure Shilin City first and push back the enemy troops in Yizhou." Zhao Kang said.

Gao Yuan nodded: "Then I will take the people and set off now."

The army set off from Yuncheng, and Zhao Kang did not hide anything along the way, letting the troops march as fast as possible.

Arriving at Shilin City four days later, such a high-profile move naturally attracted the attention of the Jin generals.

But the Jin leader didn't care about this. The more people in Jingguo were restrained by him, the best thing would be for the overall situation.

"It seems that the wave of defenders who arrived at Shilin City a few days ago is the vanguard of this army. Send the order to continue the attack on the city. We must break through Shilin City and conquer the land of Cangzhou before tomorrow!"

After the order was issued, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city desperately, and the routine of gunpowder barrels blowing up the city gates reappeared.

But fortunately, Wu Yu got a reminder from Zhao Kang early and had no intention of saving grenades.

As soon as the enemy launched an attack, the five thousand divine thunder troops stationed at the top of the city would frantically throw grenades down.

The ground in front of Shilin City was suddenly filled with craters, and the Jin soldiers were blinded.

Although they are not afraid of death, it is too scary to be killed in such a muddle-headed manner.

Under the threat of grenades, many enemy troops became timid, and General Jin was so angry that he finally used the supervising team.

Either rush up and get blown up by a grenade, but with luck you can get into the city.

Or be hacked to death by the war team as a deserter!

Wu Yu also had a headache under this completely lifeless fighting style. Fortunately, Zhao Kang did not let him be in trouble for too long and arrived with his army. "How's the situation?"

Climbing to the top of the city, Zhao Kang glanced at the enemy troops below. This was the first time Zhou Long, Sun Fang and others saw people from the Jin Kingdom, and they couldn't help but be curious at this moment.

Zhou Long, who was born as a sharp archer, had excellent eyesight and said: "Why do these guys look like savages? They are so tall and powerful. What did they eat to grow up?"

Zhao Kang chuckled: "They are meat eaters all year round."

Only then did Wu Yu reply: "Today is already the seventh attack. These guys don't seem to know how to write the word "death" at all, and they don't even let them breathe."

A sharp arrow shot through the air and hit an enemy in the head. It could accurately hit the enemy's head from a distance of 150 steps.

This arrow was naturally made by Zhou Long. He drew the bow, took the second arrow and sneered: "Just because you're not afraid of death doesn't mean you won't die!"

Zhao Kang laughed: "That's right. No need to save ammunition, just blow up these inhumane guys to death!"

When he heard that these foreign barbarians were using the people of Jingguo as military food, Zhao Kang felt indescribably shocked and angry.

He had only read about this kind of thing in books. History books often describe this behavior with words such as the vegetable man and the two-legged sheep, which make people's hair stand on end just by looking at it.

He didn't expect it to happen before his eyes now.

In his opinion, these guys have completely lost their humanity, so there is no need to say anything harmful to Tianhe.

All [-] divine thunder troops arrived, and two rounds of grenades were thrown out, knocking the enemy soldiers who were still fearless of death to their knees and making them pee.

Zhou Long also led the [-] archers in the White Tiger Army to kill the enemy with projectiles.

Compared with the Qian army, this group of Jin soldiers are undoubtedly inferior in terms of equipment.

The weapon is nothing more than a scimitar, and there is no armor at all. The only thing on his body is some sheepskin.

An originally aggressive siege was suppressed by Zhao Kang with thunderous force, and the enemy's morale was greatly damaged.

The general who commanded the troops was immediately furious when he learned of this situation!

"I don't believe it! The whole of Yizhou has been captured, but you still can't take down your little Lion City? Send my order to the general, and the left and right armies will come together to besiege the target city. Whoever breaks through the gate first will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

As Wu Yu said half of the time, there was no breathing room at all.

Even at night, the enemy troops attacked tirelessly in order to prevent the gate of Lion Forest City from being blown open.

Zhao Kang asked Li Goudan to carry the cannon to the top of the city.

After a round of bombardment, even the supervising team was unable to function this time.

You can't fucking see anything, you can only hear the rumbling explosions, and people are gone. Who can not be afraid of this!

After four consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles, the dead man could no longer stimulate his nerves.

Even Zhao Kang was a little surprised by the determination of this group of enemy soldiers. There were corpses everywhere outside Shilin City.

Many of them are in fragmented blocks, and people have long been numb.

Watching the rising sun, when the time agreed with Gao Yuan arrived, Zhao Kang said in a deep voice: "Sun Fang."

"exist!"

"The Modao team is in front, the spearmen are in formation, leaving the city to meet the enemy!"

Sun Fang laughed ferociously: "Yes!"
