Chapter 624 Attack
"Report..."
"Your Highness, our army encountered an enemy ambush. The attacking troops in front suffered heavy losses and were in chaos..."
The messenger hurried over to report to Lou Yi.
Lou Yi and Yu Tai were still far away from the frontline battlefield. They could only see that the attack on both wings was unfavorable, but they did not know what happened to the attacking troops on both wings.
After the messenger's detailed explanation, the two learned about the specific situation at the front.
"The enemy has seen through our plan!"
Lou Yi's face was covered with frost, and he turned to look at Yu Tai, whose face was also covered with frost. "General Yu, do you think we should withdraw our people first, or continue the attack?"
Trapped in a horse pit, gong!
This is entirely to deal with the fire horse charging into the formation!
The enemy's cavalry had just rushed out from both flanks yesterday.
This proves that when the enemy pretended to attack yesterday, there was no horse trap!
These traps were obviously dug later!
Make it clear that it is prepared for them!
Damn!
His carefully prepared strategy was predicted by the enemy in advance!
Facing Lou Yi's inquiry, Yu Tai couldn't help but get entangled.
Logically speaking, at this time, they should definitely withdraw and readjust.
However, once they retreated, their sacrifices were all in vain.
"We cannot retreat, we must continue to attack!"
Yu Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Now, we have finally passed through the first gap. Once we retreat, the enemy will be able to reoccupy the gap immediately! Even if the enemy is prepared to trap the horses and resist the horses, we have to pile up the corpses. Make a path!"
So what if there is a trap or a horse blocking the way?
Horse pits can be filled with corpses!
Juma can be crushed!
Now we must use pressure to get over it!
at all costs!
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Lou Yi nodded, "However, I think we should withdraw the cavalry and attack with infantry!"
If the beating continues like this, the bodies will be piled up on several levels!
The war horse doesn't even have a place to step down!
The cavalry simply could not take advantage of the cavalry's charge into battle.
Since the people are going to be used for heaping, we can no longer use the precious cavalry to die!
"Yes!" Yu Tai agreed.
The two quickly reached an agreement.
As Lou Yi and Yu Tai's orders were issued, the attacking troops on both wings quickly changed their strategies.
After all the cavalry who rushed into the gap were killed, all their cavalry withdrew to the rear, while all the infantry behind them pressed up.
Amidst the rapid sound of war drums, Qiu Chi and the soldiers of Dayue Kingdom rushed towards the gap that had been opened without fear of death.
The army of 10,000 servants was divided into three parts by Yunzheng.
Five thousand servants were deployed on each flank and front.
The three thousand North Motuo people led by Zulu, as the second echelon, are on standby for support.
At each gap, soldiers holding heavy shields and halberds stood ready in formation. On the simple city wall, shield-bearing steps covered the archers who continuously shot at the approaching enemy troops.
These servants are really good at archery.
Covered by a hail of arrows, the enemy soldiers fell in pieces as soon as they approached the gap.
However, the soldiers of the two countries also launched a counterattack without fear of death.
The soldiers stepped on the corpses piled on the ground and rushed forward. Those in front fell, and those behind caught up.
"Rush! Hurry for me!"
"Kill it!"
"Those who backslide, die!"
Qiu Chi's general roared and kept urging his soldiers to rush into the gap that had been opened.
Even though there were piles of corpses in the gap, he was still urging the soldiers at the rear.
There were also some soldiers from Qiuchi who carried simple wooden ladders. Under the cover of the shield-bearing infantry, they went to the bottom of the city wall. They put the wooden ladders on the city wall and immediately climbed up the wooden ladders.
The temporary city wall built by Yunzheng and the others is basically only one and a half feet long. Anyone who moves quickly can climb it quickly.
However, as soon as these people climbed up the ladder, rocks weighing dozens of kilograms fell down.
Some people just pushed the single wooden ladder away.
But this did not stop Qiuchi's soldiers who were desperately attacking.
The people in front fell down, and the people behind continued to rush up.
As long as they capture a city wall, they can gain certain advantages.
Under the enemy's fearless attack, the pressure on the servant army was not small.
"Hold it!"
"Push the enemy back!"
Huo Gu, covered in blood, led his troops to launch a counterattack against the enemy.
They had voluntarily given up the first gap before, and now they must seize the first gap again.
Otherwise, the enemy forces will keep pressing forward.
Under the accumulation of enemy corpses, trapping horses and resisting horses have become useless.
If the enemy troops are not pushed back, the entire gap will be piled up with corpses.
When the time comes, the enemy troops will be able to easily climb up the city wall by stepping on these corpses.
Under the leadership of Huo Gu, the servant army stepped on the corpses on the ground and pushed forward.
Although these people are called servants, and their armor and weapons are slightly inferior to those of other troops, most of these people have been tempered by the blood and fire of the battlefield. As long as their military morale does not collapse, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
And the enemy general was naturally unwilling to give up the gap easily.
At every gap, both sides fought over and over again.
When the person in front falls, the person behind immediately takes over.
The corpses on the ground continued to pile up, and many gaps were filled with corpses from both sides.
In the fierce offensive and defensive battle, no one cared about the corpses on the ground.
Not to mention corpses, many people who have not yet expired have become stepping stones for others.
Many soldiers stepped on the corpses and launched fierce attacks on the opposite side.
"Haha, it's so happy, so damn happy..."
Qin Qihu in the crowd led the personal guards assigned to him by Yun Zheng to continuously charge and kill.
Qin Qihu gave up his sword and used a mace instead.
The mace hit an enemy general on the head hard.
Even though the enemy young general was protected by a helmet, the force of the stick knocked him to the ground, and blood continued to spit out from his mouth.
Under the strong counterattack of the servant army, there were more and more enemy corpses on the ground.
They captured the gaps one after another, but their casualties were gradually increasing.
The fighting was extremely fierce.
Unknowingly, this battle has been fought from dawn to dawn.
Yun Zheng was condescending, constantly scanning the battlefield.
Under the heavy casualties, the offensives of Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom gradually weakened.
A rough estimate is that the two countries have now suffered between five and six thousand casualties.
"The enemy should be calling for gold to retreat, right?"
Yun Zheng was thinking secretly in his heart.
He now hoped that the enemy would stop attacking.
They need time to clean up the gaps.
With so many corpses piled up in the gap, it was actually very detrimental to their defense.
However, at this moment, Yun Zheng saw the commanders of the two armies waving their flags almost simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, both sides once again dispatched 5,000 people to press forward...
