Chapter 968: "· Between Offense and Defense"

The opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference.
Sister Teresa (a world-renowned Catholic charity worker who established the Renai Missionary Church)
This night is doomed to two different moods for Yang Xi and others in the camp and Gregory who surrounded the camp with the army; the sleeplessness of the former is because the inner excitement is difficult to restrain, the latter Sleeplessness is due to the defeat of the East Route Army.
The army composed of 20,000 Luxi fighters and 25,000 Luxi second-line fighters could not defeat 100,000 rebels in a battle in the afternoon; such a result, for Lucy’s famous Gregory, It's a shame nailed to Lucy's history!
Although the commander-in-chief of the East Road Command was not Gregory himself, but he was a Luxi warrior cultivated by himself; plus he was also the supreme commander of the army, he did not bear this responsibility, but also Who can bear it?
Of course, Gregory is more concerned about the astonishing fighting will shown by the rebels than the hatred of his loved ones. As a famous general in the West, Gregory is against the people of Lucy. The characteristics of all soldiers are still very well known.
The key to the question is, why do so many people follow the rebels who should not be recognized by the people? Shouldn't the people in southwestern Lu treat the rebels with an attitude of spurning aversion and disobedience?
Regardless of how many doubts and confusions deep within Gregory’s heart, the fact before him now is that the people who follow the rebels not only have a large number, but also have an extremely firm recognition of the rebels; otherwise, their fighting will It can't be that strong!
Thinking about this, Gregory's head was involuntarily painful because of the rebel camp that had been surrounded by his army. There were as many as 600,000 southern people in it. This is a number that scared him. .
Gregory shook his head desperately, as if he wanted to eliminate the most unlikely possibility in his mind; but the reality is that no matter how he evades this idea, this idea is in his mind Lingering around.
Early the next morning, Gregory, who had not slept overnight, arrived at the camp of the Western Army; today will be his first day of commanding the rebel army to attack the rebel camp. The 10,000 cavalry who are not suitable for attacking the camp will be Shoulder the task of encircling the camp on both sides.
Dividing the 10,000 cavalry into two, respectively enclosing the north and south sides of the rebel camp, is one of Gregory’s established arrangements for attacking the rebel camp; when the east road army arrives, the east and west road forces will fight against the rebels at the same time. Military camp, launch the most violent attack!
Use 38,000 elite Lusi fighters and 46,000 ordinary Lusi fighters to attack a camp held by a rebel army of 450,000 or more Ugly; Gregory is confident to take it within three days. This unreliable camp destroys this mysterious rebel army.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the 45,000 rebel soldiers of the West Road Army began to have breakfast; at 6:30, the breakfast army had already assembled outside the temporary barracks; at 7:30, the East Road Army rushed to the east of the camp; 9 Point, East Road Army had breakfast and assembled.
At 9:20 in the morning, there are still ten minutes before the two armies attack at the same time; Gregory, who is still sitting on the side of the West Road Army, asked the commander of the West Road Army to first call out 5,000 ordinary soldiers as a tentative guard. A vanguard force with defensive forces.
It is followed by the main offensive composed of 10,000 ordinary soldiers and 10,000 elite soldiers; as long as the 5,000 avant-garde soldiers in the front try out the defender’s defensive reality, the 20,000 offensive main forces in the rear will be put into battle. Attack the weak areas of the defenders.
Don’t think that the barbarian generals have the word barbarian on their heads, which means they don’t understand the strategy; in fact, many barbarian generals do not use some basic combat strategies, they will not be much worse than the generals of the Tianlong Empire, because the brutal war It can make people progress.
Arriving at 9:31, the rebellious army on both sides of the Kirkwall camp sounded the offensive horn at the same time; the sound of a horn may not be majestic, but the sound of thousands of horns is absolutely resounding in the world, accompanied by The majestic horn sounded, and the enemy's attack began.
The 5,000 enemy soldiers carrying simple wooden ladders are not a fatal threat to the defenders with a single wooden wall defense force of 10,000. Some defender soldiers from hunters entered the enemy army. Immediately after the shooting range, Zhang Gong shoots with an arrow.
The defenders who were barely half archers. The arrows shot in twos and threes were very limited in the casualties that could be caused by attacking the enemy; even some enemy soldiers, even after counting arrows, could scream forward Forward, even the running speed has not decreased!
It is undeniable that the lethality of the barbarian bow and arrow is too far away from the cold bow of the Roman city. The defending soldiers who lacked long-range attack ability gave up this attack method when they saw that the archery was invalid. The war is determined by hand-to-hand combat.
It was said that sooner or later, as soon as the defending soldiers had given up archery, the enemy pioneers on the other side put the long wooden ladders on the walls of the wooden walls; looking at the wooden ladders on the walls of these towers, the adequately defending soldiers We, two people in groups of three, easily pushed down the wooden ladder.
After pushing down more than ten wooden ladders one after another, they learned to attack the enemy savvyly, using the method of lowering the angle of the wooden ladder, so that the defending soldiers could not push their wooden ladder at all; , Decisively choose the battle axe and sword in your hand, and cut the wooden ladder on the wall of the tower.
The speed of the Tomahawk sword slashing the wooden ladder is far less than the speed of the wooden ladder to the wall; in less than three minutes, the attacking enemy forces successfully followed the wooden ladder and successfully hit the wall, and with the The defenders defending the wooden wall launched an extremely fierce fight.
In the siege of the civilized country, once the attacking side has attacked the city wall, it can basically be determined that the defending side has lost half of it; but in the barbarian world, such a statement is obviously wrong, because attacking the city wall is in the barbarian siege battle Is the beginning of a real battle!
The defenders who are more dominant in number have better weapons and equipment than the enemy who attacked the wall; plus they are more familiar with the terrain of the wall. The first batch of hundreds of enemy troops who attacked the wall did not last long. , Was killed by the defenders on the wall.
At the same time, the second batch of hundreds of enemy troops and the third batch of thousands of enemy troops also took advantage of this opportunity to attack the wall; when neither Xiachuan Pinggong nor Gregory used their main force, the wooden wall The battle is fierce, but it's just a preliminary battle with each other.
The reason why Yamashita Yangxi did not use the family of the southern soldiers to shout before the enemy attacked was to test the enemy’s combat power in a controlled battle in order to be more adequate for the next defense. More targeted preparation.
The thoughts of the generals on both sides have no meaning to the soldiers of the two armies fighting hard at the forefront of the battle; their only idea is to use the weapons in their hands to kill the enemy in front of them, and then let themselves live Go on.
This fierce and brutal battle continued for about an hour, and it was still a scorching fight; the defenders failed to drive down the enemy who had hit the wall, and the offensive fighters who barely remained undefeated did not stand firm. , But it was difficult to resist the counterattack of the defenders.
