Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 656

The city of Austin became a nightmare for the Red Scarf Army. They lost a full 5 to [-] people in the first round of attack alone. The blood pooled into a creek, but they didn't even climb the city wall.

The red scarf soldiers who were smashed and bleeding in Austin had to retreat and rest. The huge casualties caused the originally high morale to drop precipitously. A layer of haze shrouded it.

"How long can our food and grass last?" Inside the military tent, Wu Tiance's face was gloomy and frightening, but his whole body revealed a deep sense of exhaustion.

The staff replied in a low voice: "Except for the elite Wolf Army directly under us, which still has three days' food and grass, the rest of the armies have at most one day's food in stock, and many of them have already run out of food."

Food has always been a major problem plaguing the Red Turban Army. They do not have a solid logistics base. The strategy of fighting to feed the war makes them have to keep attacking the city to keep them from starving. However, Lin Chuan's strong walls and clear fields and Austin can't attack l. Food The crisis of the crisis put the 30-strong Red Scarf Army in danger of splitting.

Although the Red Turban Army has a unified name, it is actually a loose alliance of countless rebel armies, and they do not belong to each other. Although Wu Tiance is the Northern King of the Red Turban Army, if the strength If there is a big loss, the rest of the kings will annex his tribe. This is the cruel reality.

"Pass down the order and let the evil wolf army go, I don't believe that this city can't be conquered." After thinking for a long time, Wu Tiance definitely sent the most elite evil wolf army under his command to attack the city.

The evil wolf army is Wu Tiance's real elite army, which is his biggest reliance. All the soldiers of the evil wolf army are burly and sturdy. Compared with the tattered weapons in the hands of the other red scarf soldiers, they are equipped with Wearing a unified sword, armor and iron shield, the strength is not weaker than the rest of the regular army of the dynasty.

Now Wu Tiance is already on the verge of riding a tiger. If he can't capture Austin to get supplies as soon as possible, his 30 army will collapse. An army without food will have no combat effectiveness. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless. Wu Tiance Know the seriousness of the matter.

There is another reason why Wu Tiance sent the evil wolf army to attack the city. Now the other leaders have suffered heavy losses in the attack, while his own troops are intact. This has already made many leaders very dissatisfied. If you want them to continue To work for oneself, one must appease them.

The Wolf Army is the elite of the Red Turban Army, all experienced soldiers, and most of them used to be soldiers of the regular army of the dynasty. Compared with the ordinary Red Turban soldiers converted from farmers, they are also considered Be well trained.

"Brothers of the Wolf Army! Take Austin, and I allow you to plunder for three days!"

Wu Tiance personally stood on the chariot to mobilize the [-] evil wolf army under his command before the battle. However, he was uneducated, and boosting morale was always simple and rude, but for the evil wolf army, it was also the most effective.

If the rest of the Red Turban Army had encountered such encouragement, they would have screamed excitedly long ago, but the members of the Wolf Army did not cheer, but silently pulled down their steel masks and pulled out their sharp weapons, like wolves. Staring at Austin, ready to act.

"Go ahead and build your own exploits!"

With a big wave of Wu Tiance's hand, the evil wolf army has already charged towards the city of Austin like wolves and tigers.

"Brothers, follow the Wolf Army!" The rest of the leaders of the Red Scarf Army naturally did not want the fruits of victory to be picked by the Wolf Army alone, and they also commanded the soldiers of the Red Scarf Army to launch a charge.

The appearance of the wolf army boosted the morale of the red scarf army, which was low in morale. In the previous battles, as long as the wolf army entered the field, any hard bone that could not be chewed would be broken. So this time, the red scarf soldiers still blindly believed in Aussie. Ding will definitely be breached.

After the war stopped for two hours, it erupted violently again. In the first round of defense, the defenders poured out a full 100 million arrows, consuming one-third of the inventory. The results were also very remarkable. tens of thousands of red scarf soldiers.

Facing the red scarf soldiers who rushed again, the guarding Nanchuan soldiers did not need to be ordered to carry out long-range strikes in batches. The screams, the howling of arrows, and the shouts were intertwined on the battlefield again. Countless fresh lives are constantly disappearing.

But this time is different from the previous ones. The attack momentum of the Red Scarf Army is more violent than the last time. Facing the rain of arrows like locusts, they kept being shot and killed, but they continued to move forward. The abnormal situation soon caused The vigilance of the flag regiment leaders was quickly reported to the regiment commander Lin Cunzhi.

Lin Cunzhi didn't dare to be careless. Although they had strong walls and sharp weapons, after all, their opponents outnumbered them too much. A little carelessness would make a big mistake, so he went to the city immediately to check for himself.

The soldiers of the Red Scarf Army charged forward one after another, very brave. If they were equipped with sophisticated weapons, their combat effectiveness might be improved by more than one level. Lin Cunzhi searched among the charging Red Scarf soldiers, and soon He found an exception.

Among the charging red scarf soldiers, there is a very special team. Although they also wear variegated clothes, they are almost all equipped with leather armor and iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are much better than the rest of the red scarf soldiers. They had already approached the city wall under the cover of the rest of the red scarf soldiers.

"I'm afraid we are in trouble," Lin Cunzhi said to Chu Ming, the chief of staff, "pull up our hoplite banner battalion, just in case."

The new chief of staff, Chu Ming, also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately turned around and ran towards the city, preparing to bring up the heavy banner battalion.

However, the attack speed of the red scarf soldiers exceeded Lin Cunzhi's expectations. When they approached the city wall, they suddenly accelerated, then quickly built a ladder, and climbed towards the city wall. The archers just had time to release two arrows. Climb to the middle of the city wall.

"Phew!" Lin Cunzhi suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and roared, "Pro-Guards, follow me!"

The soldiers of the wolf army are indeed much more elite than the rest of the red scarf soldiers. They are very skilled at dodging arrows. A Nanchuan archer tried to shoot the wolf army who climbed up. Not only was the opponent dodging, but he threw Instead, the dagger shot and killed the Nanchuan archers who were caught off guard.

The soldiers of the evil wolf army supported the city wall with one hand, and leaped onto the city wall with a toss. Facing the hacked saber, the Nanchuan archers subconsciously raised their big bows to resist, but with a click, the long The bow was cut off from it, and the archer soldier was also smashed in the front door, and fell straight to the ground.

The defenders are deployed on the first line of archers, and the second line is spearmen. The wolf army that rushed to the city wall is a bloody massacre against the archers. The spearmen on the second line hurried forward. Trying to block the wolf army.

However, the soldiers of the wolf army are very fierce. They dared to charge dozens of Nanchuan spearmen by themselves. Although they were quickly stabbed to the ground by the spearmen, more wolf soldiers crashed into the spearmen. Among the soldiers.

In close-range combat, the 1.7-meter-long bayonet is no match for a sword at all. The length determines that the flexibility is greatly reduced. The entire city wall is in chaos. The red scarf soldiers rushed up the city wall along the gap.

"Block them!" Lin Cunzhi personally led his own soldiers to join the fight, but the fierce fighting power of the evil wolf army made him unable to hold back, and he was killed and retreated steadily.
