Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 209 May Offensive
On May [-], [-], Governor Nagaro looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds and felt a little irritated for no reason.

Jiuyuan City has strong fortifications and a dynasty army of more than [-], but none of these made Governor Najialuo feel at ease.

Looking at the black army of rebels who kept coming out of the camp several miles away from the city, Governor Najialuo took a deep breath, shook his head to dispel the restlessness in his heart, and said that what should come will come, so get ready to fight.

In addition to the 4 troops left by the Dynasty Army to guard Jiuyuan City, the remaining [-] people were placed in the strong fortifications outside the city, and some cavalry were left on the periphery. This is the mobile force of Governor Najialuo. The defenders of the outlying fortifications will face the first wave of attack.

"Your Excellency, the rebels want to attack from all sides at the same time!" A dynasty general reminded loudly.

Governor Najialuo sneered, the rebels really overestimated their capabilities. If they hit a certain point with their strength and attacked him, he really had to take his life to stop him, but if they attacked from all sides at the same time, he had to kill the rebels. Some of Jun's teeth were broken, and he wanted them to know that they were not made of mud.

Soon, all the corps of the attacking Nanchuan Army arrived at the designated positions.

The Sith Corps is in charge of the South Gate, the Mondo Corps is in charge of the North Gate, the Mingyang Corps is in charge of the West Gate, and the Steel Feather Corps is in charge of the East Gate.

The task Lin Chuan gave them was to first clear the outlying strongholds of the Dynasty army, and then start to attack the city.

The weakness of the Nanchuan Army is its weak siege ability. Lin Chuan wants to take advantage of this time to conduct a large-scale military training to practice the siege ability of the legion troops.

After all, in future wars, if you want to overthrow the dynasty, you will have to face countless cities and fortresses. Troops that are not good at attacking cities and cannot fight tough battles will not go far.

Although practicing siege tactics, there will be a lot of casualties, but this time Lin Chuan is going all out, for the strength of the army, he will not hesitate to suffer casualties.

"Start the attack!" Lin Chuan stood on the temporary high platform and ordered to the herald behind him.

The herald waved his hand, ten cowhide drums were beaten by ten strong warriors, and the low-pitched horns also sounded. Under the stormy sky, the iron bones were ferocious, and the horns were connected, adding a bleak and chilling air out of thin air.

"Attack!" The generals of each corps waved their command sabers almost at the same time.

Wearing black clothes and armor, the Nanchuan soldiers who were covered in steel walked neatly, holding sharp knives and guns, and began to attack the outer positions of the Dynasty army.

The various corps of the Nanchuan Army hit all the archers of their respective corps and started covering fire to clear the way for the attacking infantry.

The flashing mace arrows streaked across the gray sky, descending from the sky in a graceful arc, accompanied by howling sounds, and kept falling into the defensive positions of the dynasty army.

The arrow puffed into the flesh, splashing a large amount of blood. Countless dynasty soldiers who couldn't dodge screamed and fell to the ground. The wounded soldiers struggled to get up, but were directly shot through the body by more arrows that followed. Eventually turned into a cold corpse.

The strong force of the arrows continued to shoot into the parapet built by the imperial army, and more and more arrows shot into the earthen wall. With the creaking sound, the parapet could no longer bear it and collapsed, burying the imperial soldiers under the parapet.

In addition to ordinary arrows, there were arrows smeared with kerosene and shot into the dynasty army's position with trails of black smoke. Those flammable wooden military uniforms were ignited, and soon turned into a raging fire, and the entire position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. .

The dynasty soldiers hiding in the pit were smoked and forced to get out, and were soon killed by arrows.

The octagonal ox crossbow was launched along with the ordinary arrows, and the roaring crossbow arrows could directly overturn the headquarters bunker established by the dynasty army.

"Brothers, the general is watching behind us! If anyone loses the chain to labor and management, don't blame me, Sith, for being merciless!"

Sith, the commander of the First Corps, raised the broadsword in his hand, pointed at the front of the dynasty army and shouted: "Attack!"

"Ho Ho! Bang Bang!" The soldiers roared in unison, and the voice shook the sky, and even the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed a lot.

At the north gate, the commander of the Fourth Corps, Mundo, also issued a death order: "The Fourth Corps must be the first to rush into Jiuyuan City!"

Gang Yu, the commander of the Sixth Corps, was originally a soldier led by Lin Chuan, and he was even more violent. He took off his military uniform and participated in the charge with his bare arms.

Compared with the impassioned or brave charging of the other three corps, Ming Yang, the commander of the [-]th corps, was more elegant.

He didn't personally launch a charge, nor did he give impassioned speeches, but sat on the tutu slope and issued orders in an orderly manner, just like an artist, and the [-] soldiers under his command waved along with his dancing.

"The Second Banner Battalion of the First Banner Regiment attacked from the flanks, and the archers of the 2000th Team of the Third Banner Battalion were responsible for covering..."

General Ming Yang's commanding battle is like playing piano music, he has mastered every note perfectly, he knows every unit under his command clearly, and he has a perfect grasp of the strengths and weaknesses of the officers.

Ming Yang can even call every centurion under his command by name, precisely because he has a deep understanding of the army under his command, so he can launch attacks as he pleases.

Ming Yang's combat strength is not strong, as he said, as a commander, why should he charge forward?

Ming Yang takes Lin Chuan as the standard in everything, constantly learns new knowledge, and often discusses military affairs with Lin Chuan, so General Ming Yang is one of the generals Lin Chuan admires most.

The four corps launched a fierce attack on the outer positions of the Dynasty Army from four directions, and the front lines of the Dynasty Army arranged in the outer positions were constantly covered by soil slopes.

As the commander of the outlying positions, Provincial General Zhang Haotian's heart is broken at this moment. The war has just begun, and rescue messengers from various defense lines are constantly being sent.

"General! The second ditch at the east gate has been breached!"

"General! The third battalion at the North Gate has collapsed!"

"General, the right-wing camp has been breached, and the head of Luo Banner is fighting to the death. We need reinforcements!"

"..."

Facing the constant rush of help messengers, Zhang Haotian's head was about to explode.

The originally strong defense line was like a piece of paper in front of the Nanchuan Army. It couldn't stop the Nanchuan Army's offensive pace at all, and all defense lines were constantly being broken through.

Zhang Haotian had originally promised in front of Governor Najialuo that he would stick to the outer positions for at least half a month. According to the current situation, it would be difficult to persist for a day.

Zhang Haotian slammed his fist on the table, and a look of fierceness flashed in his eyes! "Arrange the fire oil defense line, and bomb the trebuchet!"

The kerosene defense line and trebuchet were originally Zhang Haotian's hole cards, but now he had to take them out in advance. If he didn't take them out, he would have no chance.

Several trenches in the center of the outer positions were filled with kerosene, which would form a fire line of defense if ignited.

With a bang, the kerosene was ignited and spread rapidly. The Nanchuan soldiers who were attacking through the trench were engulfed by the fire before they could react, and fell into the kerosene trench screaming.

Those Nanchuan soldiers who passed through the ditch were strangled by the dynasty reserve team rushing up. The Nanchuan soldiers on the other side of the fire ditch could not rush through, and watched their comrades being killed.

At this moment, the Dynasty army's trebuchets also began to roar, and a piece of stone bullets crossed the line of fire and smashed into the Nanchuan army, causing many casualties.
