Chapter 103 Battle of Thor Fortress (desperately)
"The loss was so great that we were unprepared when we were attacked last night." A general said with a bandage on his head and a sad face.
"We don't have the ability to attack." The officer in charge of the army's siege weapons truthfully reported to Xia Changkong.
"Many of those siege equipment have been burned." He didn't dare to look up at Xia Changkong's face at all and said tremblingly with his head down.
"Although their cavalry also suffered heavy losses, the infantry defending the city did not participate in the attack last night." The eldest prince Ye Shengwu also said, "It's not good for us to attack now."
"Yes, they slept well all night." A general belonging to the Rosefinch Army also came forward to persuade Xia Changkong.
"Bastard, we will fight to the death tomorrow!" Xia Changkong slapped the table in front of him, and a loud noise made everyone stop talking.
"I advise you not to be impulsive, which will lose the fruit of victory." The eldest prince advised. He was very worried about Xia Changkong's desperate attack and immediately attacked the whole army.
"No, I don't accept defeat. I want to bring an unprecedented victory to the Eternal Night Empire." Xia Changkong said hatefully.
"I ask that my troops retreat back and build a defense line in the upper reaches of the Middock River. If the Rosefinch army takes the Thor Fortress, I will lead troops to support you. The eldest prince looked at Xia Changkong and said, "If you fail, at least I can defend the northern defense line for my father."
"Well, Your Highness, if you want to take away the White Tiger Legion, I approve it. Anyway, tomorrow's attack doesn't have enough equipment to attack the city, and I can't let you play, hum." Xia Changkong said that in fact, the remaining siege weapons on hand really can't put all 700,000 troops into battle. Instead of attacking in batches, it is better to let these troops retreat to Dos City safely.
"Well, the main force of the White Tiger Army retreated tonight. This is up to you, General Xia Changkong." Ye Shengwu looked at Xia Changkong and couldn't hear emotion in his tone. He didn't seem to inject feelings into this sentence, but said plainly.
"Well, when I take down the Thor Fortress tomorrow, I hope Your Highness won't regret it." Xia Changkong still believes that he can take the Thor Fortress.
"Hahahaha, General Xia Changkong, I'm waiting for your triumphant news in Dos City." Ye Shengwu smiled and went straight out. Since he had torn his face and dismantled each other, there was no need to say more boring scenes.
That night, 150,000 of the main force of the White Tiger Army, including 60,000 Snow Moon Warriors, began to retreat towards Dos City and began to consolidate the northern defense line of the Eternal Night Empire. It has to be said that the difference between the eldest prince and Xia Changkong saved the main force of the White Tiger Army and enabled the Yongye Empire to establish a relatively stable defense line in the north.
When the main force of the White Tiger Army leaves, there are 190,000 ordinary troops left in the White Tiger Army and 390,000 troops left in the Rosefinch Army. The number of combat troops in Xia Chang's empty hands has been sharply reduced to 580,000, and more than 300,000 are the second-line troops requisitioned. Now the situation is not optimistic for Xia Changkong.
But Xia Changkong also has his own ideas. His expedition this time is to strategic an important part of Prince Xia Wuyou to check and balance the moon godlessness. That is to say, he needs a victory to ensure the Xia family's universal foundation in the Yongye Empire, so he can't retreat. He wants to take the set target Thor Fortress and let the moon godless on the southern line return. Ye Qiong, who has a dark capital, has nothing to say.
With this idea, the next morning, the exhausted Yongye Imperial army launched another attack. Except for the cavalry, which were left as a reserve to prevent possible reinforcements from the Holy Empire, the rest of the troops attacked all the way, and the flood-like army rushed to the Thor Fortress.
The cataping car was launched to send the fragments of the Holy Empire to hell! A general gave a loud command
The soldiers of the second phalanx attack forward and force them to give up attacking our archers! Another voice followed the command
Countless ladders were erected, covered with the bodies of soldiers and soldiers. Under the cover of stone throwers and crossbow guns, the army of the Eternal Night Empire began to approach the wall, and the resistance of the Holy Empire seemed a little weak.
With the sound of the horn, the reserve army of the Holy Empire began to rush to the city wall. Tens of thousands of soldiers, holding spears and shields, dismembered the soldiers of the Yongye Empire who had already stepped on the wall. The two sides launched a bloody battle on the tower, and soon the powerless Yongye Empire army was driven out of the city. The wall, and the ensuing rain of arrows made these embarrassed attackers abandon their armor.
"Shield soldier, cover!" Compressed at the foot of the city wall, they could not raise their heads, and the heavily damaged infantry began to ask for help.
"Help, that's my arm, asshole!" A wounded soldier cried, and his face was covered with blood and shouted at the soldier next to him. Then he was pierced in the throat by a flying arrow.
"See that, shoot arrows at there, get ready, release!" A little commander commanded several archers he could find to fight back against the city head.
What about the siege hammer? Is the gate open?" An officer held the picked up shield, dodged the flying arrows, and asked the soldiers behind him, but no one answered him. When he didn't wait to answer and looked back, he found that the soldier behind him had arrow sticks stuck in his head and fell stiffly down.
"Bastard, why are you so tall?" A new soldier cried and shouted, next to him was a long ladder on the wall, but he did not have the courage to climb up.
"He, smash the magic array, or we won't get support if we go up. You stupid pigs!" A heroic captain looked at the light blue magic array shining on the wall above his head and shouted back, hoping to find a magician to support him.
"No retreat, no retreat, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" The last group of soldiers were the law enforcement soldiers of the Yongye Empire. They followed each attacking force with a long sword, and all the soldiers who retreated would be killed.
"Attack! Attack!" Xia Changkong stood on a high slope in the distance and kept ordering the generals under him.
As more and more generals go to the battlefield, almost all the infantry of the Eternal Night Empire have been engaged in battle, and the defenders of the Thor Fortress of the Holy Empire are in a more and more bad situation.
Some of the soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire have attacked the head of the city and fought fiercely with the army of the Holy Empire that came to strangle them. They desperately defended the building that made them attack the head of the city, and more soldiers poured from the truck to the head of the city. They wanted to occupy the head of the city.
And the soldiers of the Holy Empire desperately wanted to drive back the enemy who attacked the city. Because they lost the wall, they would fall into a numerical disadvantage, so they desperately attacked these enemies, looking forward to suppressing the enemy in the building.
Both sides exerted their strength to breastfeed, but they could not repel their opponents. In that section of the tower, both sides were killed and injured and waited for reinforcements.
