Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 276 Fighting Austin
The smoke of war was ignited in Austin, and the commander of the dynasty army, Lan Yu, sent [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to try to retake Austin, an important town in the eastern part of Luoshan Province, and open up a channel for material distribution.

Facing the army of the dynasty army, Tu Yue, the Sergeant Major of the Nanchuan Army who already possessed great strength, did not plan to evacuate Austin. He actively prepared for the battle and withdrew all the troops into Austin.

Since Austin stores a large amount of weapons, equipment and military supplies of the Dynasty Army, which is enough for Sergeant Major Tu Yue to hold on for half a year, Tu Yue is going to take a gamble, defending Austin to the death, blocking the Dynasty Army, and dragging hundreds of thousands of people to death Dynasty Army.

"Brothers, cheer me up, kill a dynasty soldier, and reward a silver coin!" Sergeant Major Tu Yue knew that the soldiers he recruited had not been trained and might not be able to stop the dynasty soldier's attack, so there was nothing to say The reason is to directly use white silver coins to boost morale.

These soldiers under Tu Yue’s command were refugees who were starved of food a few days ago. Now they can not only eat a lot of fish and meat every day, but also get a lot of silver coins. Although they look like a group of mobs, their morale is high. Looking forward to the upcoming war.

The [-] Nanchuan cavalry were also withdrawn into the city of Austin. These cavalry had undergone systematic and rigorous training. There was nothing to say in terms of military discipline or fighting will, but the only fly in the ointment was that they were cavalry, not infantry.

"Master Sergeant, don't underestimate our cavalry. We can kill the enemy on horseback, but we can also kill the enemy when we dismount!" Cavalry commander Wu Jing assured the sergeant major that their cavalry is no weaker than infantry.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the defending troops, Tu Yue transferred [-] veterans and experienced sergeants from the cavalry to serve as officers in the recruits. After building the skeleton of an officer, Tu Yue believed that as long as he withstood the first wave of attacks from the Dynasty army, the recruits would grow up, and it would not be difficult to defend Austin.

On October 25th, the attacking troops of the Dynasty Army arrived in Austin. Looking at the black battle flag belonging to the rebels planted on the city of Austin, the generals of the Dynasty Army were ashen-faced. Regardless of the exhaustion of the troops after a long journey, they directly launched attack.

The [-] dynasty soldiers were divided into three directions to launch an attack at the same time. Facing the elite dynasty army, the commander Tu Yue did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and personally stepped into the city to direct the battle.

The Dynasty Army comes from the elite Central Army. They are all elite. Not only are the soldiers well-trained, but their weapons and equipment are also excellent. Facing the strong city of Austin, they attacked in an orderly manner, clearing the way with long-range strike troops , the attacking nest carts and ladders were lined up one by one, and the octagonal ox crossbow was carried directly to the bottom of the city. The momentum was so great that the Nanchuan recruits who participated in the battle for the first time turned pale.

The first huge boulder from the long-range troops of the Dynasty Army hit the city tower with a trebuchet, and the huge city tower collapsed, and dozens of soldiers stationed under the city tower were instantly buried.

At the beginning of the attack, the dynasty army troops launched long-range trebuchets, and fireballs continued to be thrown into the city of Austin. Austin fell into a raging sea of ​​​​flames not long after, and the flames of war ignited.

Under the cover of long-range weapons, the dynasty infantry holding their shields pushed the ladder, pushed the nest cart, and pulled the battering hammer to attack in an orderly manner.

The overwhelming black arrows inflicted heavy casualties on the defenders, and the roar of the octagonal crossbow caused many recruits to collapse.

"No more fights, no more fights, I want to go home." The recruits who were originally high in morale wanted to escape from the battle positions. Facing the cruel war, they finally knew that fighting is not a fun thing .

But now that you have set foot on the battlefield, if you want to get high rewards, you have to pay enough, because nothing in the world is easy to get.

These recruits who escaped from the battle positions quickly fell into a pool of blood. Many of them were shot dead by the roaring arrows of the dynasty army as soon as they stood up.

There is a supervisory team composed of Nanchuan cavalry in all passages, and all deserters who escape from the battlefield will be killed immediately.

Under the threat of the powerful supervising team, the noisy defenders had to pick up their weapons again and return to their positions. Those veterans and sergeants who were newly recruited into the recruit team also played a great role at this moment. They kept screaming To encourage recruits, eliminate the fear in the hearts of recruits.

"They are all raised by mothers. What are you afraid of? The knives in your hands are not fire sticks. If you cut them out, they will also die!" The sergeants roared loudly, and the fear in the recruits' hearts continued to disintegrate amidst the screams of the soldiers.

"Fuck, don't bully us that we don't have long-range weapons!" Commander Tu Yue saw that the long-range weapons of the Dynasty Army continued to intensify their own casualties, and immediately became angry: "Murong Ke, move all the long-range weapons in the arsenal to the city wall for me! I want to teach these bastards a bloody lesson!"

Numerous catapults and crossbows were moved onto the city wall, and the weapons in Austin's arsenal were piled up like a mountain. Enraged, Tu Yue directly ordered all of them to be moved onto the city wall.

"Fight me back! Fight back fiercely!" Tu Yue roared loudly.

"Master Sergeant, we don't know how to operate the crossbow..." A soldier pointed to the crossbow and scratched his head.

"Idiot, I'll do it!" Tu Yue kicked the soldier away and began to operate it himself.

On more sections of the city wall, those elite soldiers did the same movements as Tu Yue, and with the roaring sound, overwhelming crossbow arrows flew down from the top of the city, wedged fiercely into the dynasty army, and immediately set off bursts of waves. blood rain.

"Bastard, the rebels have so many crossbows!" The Dynasty officer cursed while dodging.

"Sir, the arsenal we stored in Austin was seized by them." Someone cursed bitterly, and the enemy hit him with his own weapon. This kind of aggrieved made the dynasty officers angry and helpless.

Although there are crossbows and other help, the soldiers of the Dynasty still launched an attack regardless of their own lives. Who made them the elite Central Army? The honor of the Central Army made them not allowed to retreat.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, soldiers of the dynasty army broke into the city wall of Austin, and hand-to-hand combat began, and the two sides fought desperately on the city wall of Austin.

Facing the elite soldiers of the dynasty army, these newly recruited Nanchuan soldiers were no match at all. It took four or five people to kill a dynasty soldier. The balance of victory gradually tilted towards the dynasty army, and the defenders were killed and retreated steadily.

"General Wu, get rid of it." The sergeant major Tu Yue saluted the cavalry commander Wu Jing, full of anticipation.

"Master Sergeant, don't worry, Jiuyuan Cavalry is invincible in the world!"

The cavalry commander Wu Jing got on his horse, and behind him, [-] black-armored cavalrymen pulled out their sharp sabers in unison!

"Open the city gate!" Wu Jing roared.

The gate of the originally closed city slowly opened, and the Dynasty soldiers who were hitting the gate were overjoyed, and the two centurions rushed towards the city.

"Kill!" The cavalry commander Wu Jing waved his saber, and more than 1 cavalrymen instantly crushed the two dynasty centurions into fly ash like a rolling iron stream.

The troops of the dynasty army who were attacking the city did not expect that there were such a large number of cavalry troops in the city. Facing the sudden cavalry, they were immediately stunned and rushed back.

The [-] black armored cavalry were like a sharp blade, hitting the dynasty soldiers on their backs, causing a bloody storm among the dynasty soldiers.

It wasn't until the black armored cavalry killed the attacking troops that the commander of the Dynasty Army reacted and shouted: "Where are our cavalry! Stop them! Stop them!"

Due to the attack of the cavalry, the dynasty soldiers who attacked the city wall had no backup and became powerless. Tu Yue led the troops to take the opportunity to counterattack and regained control of the city wall.

Outside the city, the metal storm rolled up by the black armored cavalry kept harvesting the lives of the dynasty soldiers. Facing the dense formation of cavalry, no matter how strong the formation was, it would be destroyed in one barrel. The Nanchuan cavalry was unstoppable!
