Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 657
After all, the evil wolf army still encountered their nemesis. Although they were brave and fierce in battle, their good luck would come to an end when they faced the Nanchuan heavy soldiers armed with hammers and machetes.

Numerous Nanchuan heavy soldiers rushed up the city wall along the city ladder, and at this moment the city wall was almost occupied by the red scarf soldiers. step back.

"Reload the flag battalion! Attack!"

Corps sergeant Li Qing personally led the charge, and the heavily armored soldiers wearing dozens of kilograms of armor rushed towards the wolf army like steel monsters. The steel hammers in their hands were full of weight.

The evil wolf army had never experienced the power of Nanchuan's heavy armored soldiers. They were fighting at the moment, and they were expanding their results in depth.

But the opponent's heavy armor was not broken as expected, and the sword made a white scratch in the middle of the heavy armor. When the soldiers of the wolf army were about to slash their swords again, the steel warhammer had already smashed On his head, blood, brain pulp mixed with broken bones flew all over the sky, and the soldiers of the wolf army were overturned to the ground without even screaming.

The Nanchuan heavy soldiers rushed forward like a wall. For the red scarf soldiers who pounced on them, they waved their warhammers and smashed them directly. The opponent would die or die. To death.

Nanchuan Sword and Shield Soldiers and Tomahawk Soldiers followed behind the Heavy Armored Soldiers. When they met the red scarf soldiers who were knocked down and were not completely dead, they went up to mend their swords. On several floors, facing the Nanchuan soldiers covered in heavy armor, the evil wolf army was very brave, rushing forward one after another.

But all the efforts are in vain, all the blood is in vain. Facing these steel monsters, the seemingly sharp knives in their hands can't even cut through the opponent's armor, and the opponent's random blow will make the head bleed Flow, this is a completely one-sided massacre.

Those brave soldiers of the wolf army were forced to retreat steadily, and those ordinary red scarf soldiers were even more unbearable. They had already been terrified by these steel monsters, and they were all terrified.

The steel warhammers in the hands of the heavy soldiers were covered with blood and minced flesh, and they grinned fiercely. This is a meritorious unit, and it is also an ace unit. Against the ace of the Red Turban Army, it immediately crushed the opponent.

The evil wolf army rushed to Austin's city wall and was driven off the city wall within 10 minutes. At the same time, it suffered heavy losses. The Nanchuan defenders who reoccupied the city wall faced a large area of ​​arrows and rained down on the city wall. The second attack failed, and the wolf army they should be proud of also suffered a head-on blow in this battle.

When the casualties of the evil wolf army were reported, the corners of Wu Tiance's mouth twitched. These were the first soldiers who followed him, and most of them were elites selected by the whole army. Half of them were lost in just one battle. The remaining more than 5000 people were all wounded.

The strength of the Nanchuan Army exceeded Wu Tiance's expectations. This was only the first city that the Nanchuan Army defended. If all the cities to the east encountered such resistance, his 30 men would not be enough to die.

The Red Turban Army, which had suffered two consecutive offensive failures, was no longer able to attack Austin. Facing the severe shortage of food, Wu Tiance could only order to stop the attack, besieged Austin, and then sent countless food requisition troops to spread Raise food and grass for the army to the surrounding areas.

But the soldiers and horses raising food and grass hadn't returned yet, but the guards stationed at the Luoshan City behind sent an urgent messenger of [-] miles to Wu Tiance's Austin Camp.

"A large number of Nanchuan cavalry soldiers have been found in the area around Luoshan City. Our retreat has been cut off. Luoshan City is in danger. Please help." This is the number of messengers sent by the guards stationed in Luoshan City to break through the blockade of the Nanchuan Army before sending them to Wu Tiance. The latest military situation on the desk.

"We were fooled!" Only then did Wu Tiance realize that he had been fooled by the Nanchuan army.

They traveled hundreds of miles deep into the Luoshan Province without encountering any resistance from the Nanchuan Army. The Nanchuan Army lured them to Austin and then resisted. They wanted to trap them to death in the Luoshan Province and cut off their retreat. Let them collapse without food.

"Pass my military order, the whole army will retreat overnight!" Wu Tiance knew that after the Nanchuan Army cut off their retreat, the next step might be for them to encircle the area around Austin.

This area has already been fortified and cleared by the Nanchuan army. If they are trapped here, they will have a dead end. Now they can only retreat before Luoshan City falls, so as to have a chance of survival.

"Master Bei Wang, if we retreat now, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Luoshan City and we won't be able to eat up all the food."

In desperation, Wu Tiance could only order: "Collect all the military rations and distribute them uniformly. Except for combat, everyone else will eat porridge."

Wu Tiance, who originally wanted to defeat the Nanchuan army in one fell swoop and win the three provinces of Nanchuan, is now on the verge of riding a tiger. Now he just hopes to return to Qinghe province in complete safety and everything will be fine.

The Red Turban Army, which had been smashed and bloodied under the city of Austin, withdrew overnight to Luoshan City, the capital of Luoshan Province. Morale is the same, very low.

On the muddy road, the soldiers of the Red Scarf Army who were suffering from hunger and cold retreated with difficulty. The wounded soldiers in Austin were abandoned by the roadside and kept crying: "I beg you, take me away."

Although the wounded soldiers kept begging, what they received was not sympathy, but the indifference of the rest of the soldiers. Now that they had lost the battle, the mud bodhisattva could not protect himself when crossing the river, so how could he care about the wounded soldiers.

In order not to fall behind, some wounded soldiers squirmed and crawled in the dirty mud, trying to keep up with the retreating team, but at this moment, the Red Turban Army's morale was already confused, and they were all scrambling to retreat, afraid of being caught by Nanchuan. Surrounded by the army, who cares about those wounded soldiers?

Lin Cunzhi, who was stationed in Austin, discovered the overnight withdrawal of the Red Turban Army. Instead of pursuing them, they sent a liaison officer to report to Lin Chuan.

There is a distance of more than 300 miles between Luoshan City and Austin City, and the Luoshui River lies between the two cities. At this moment, the main force of Nanchuan led by Lin Chuan is hiding in the forest not far from the Luoshui River. Waiting for the retreating Red Scarf Army to arrive.

In a clearing in the forest, blue rain cloths were tied to several big trees. In the temporary combat headquarters, Lin Chuan and a group of senior Nanchuan generals were sitting together, facing the central military map. Have pre-battle discussions.

The Red Turban Army has now penetrated deep into the territory of Luoshan Province and is facing a shortage of food. Now that they are retreating in a hurry, they will not expect that the main force of Nanchuan has already arranged a pocket for them on the way, and here is what Lin Chuan found for them Burial ground.
