Five hundred and seventieth eight chapters unexpected defeat
Chapter 578: Unexpected defeat
Seeing the situation on the city tower, Zhang Haotian sighed. Although Galdi's intelligence said that the East Gate's defense was the weakest, at this moment, as long as there is an infrared telescope on the city tower, the situation under the city can be seen at a glance. The troops of the four gates can be flexibly mobilized, and there is no difference at all.
After stopping at the south gate, Zhang Haotian immediately did something, which was to ask Xidurigu to arrange two Molgen tribe leaders with experience in leading troops, one was Sharike and the other was Alayganfu each led 300 people to the two wings, preventing the Moya and Bailixia tribes near Yingman City from sending troops to reinforce.
All the soldiers got off the horse and quickly assembled the ladder with ropes. Zhang Haotian led the four leaders, Galdhi, Idler, Haninohai and Xidurigu, to discuss strategies for siege.
After more than ten minutes of discussion, it was finally decided that Zhang Haotian, Galdi and Haninohai would lead 2,000 people to directly attack the south gate, while Idler and Xidurigu would lead 1,400 people to attack the farthest north gate. In this way, even if the Yitai people on the city could be dispatched, it would take some time to reach it.
Idler and Xidurigu soon took their people to the north gate. When Zhang Haotian saw that the soldiers had already picked up the ladder, he gave the order and asked two hundred people to lift the iron shield left by the Boyan tribe in the Mamu Valley last time, and then covered the soldiers behind him carrying the ladder and shouting toward the city.
At the same time, Zhang Haotian called thirty Morgen soldiers to come and asked them to take advantage of the city tower to focus their attention on the siege soldiers, transport a box of grenades to the city gate to detonate, and explode the city gate.
When he came, he was actually hesitating about the pros and cons of using modern weapons. However, when he was at the army, he saw the vast city tower and the dense heads on it, and he could no longer hesitate. If his most elite soldiers were killed or injured in this siege battle, even if he finally won the English and Manchester City, the Boyan team could still easily defeat him. In this battle, he could only fight quickly and try to avoid casualties.
The soldiers of the Morgen had already arrived at the city and set up a ladder. Some of them bit the scimitar and climbed upwards. The people under the city shot up the city tower with their rifles to protect their people from entering the city.
However, when the Morgen soldiers in the front were halfway through, they heard a horn sound on the city tower, and then some people appeared, pouring something into the city with buckets. With a "boom", the flames soared into the sky. The Morgen soldiers who were about to climb up the city tower all turned into a ball of fire and fell down screaming. Some were still squirming and struggling on the ground, but were soon burned to coke. The ladders also burned and fell to the ground one by one.
Although Zhang Haotian had no experience in siege, when he saw this situation, he knew that the fuel was dumping from the barrels just now, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot immediately whenever they saw someone carrying a bucket on the city tower.
The city tower was brightly lit. After this order was issued, the carbines of the Morgen soldiers pointed at the people carrying buckets on the city tower. After a gunshot, some oil barrels were hit before they could be poured out. They immediately started to burn in the hands of the Itaites, and screams were also heard on the city tower.
Seeing that this method was effective, Zhang Haotian ordered again to build a ladder, and the soldiers below were always ready. As long as someone lifted a bucket and poured fuel down, they would shoot immediately. Even if they couldn't hit them all, they could burn some people and leave time for the soldiers in Pancheng.
Seeing that the thirty soldiers who had just received his orders had already arrived at the gate of the south city under the cover of the iron shield, Zhang Haotian even ordered all the soldiers to shoot on the city tower to suppress the enemy's firepower. The enemies on the city tower also extinguished all the torches to avoid excessive exposure and became the target of shooting for the Morgen soldiers under the city.
Of course, the firepower of the two thousand people was not weak. The firepower on the city tower seemed to be suppressed, and no one poured oil down. The Morgen, who was climbing in the front, was only five or six meters away from the city head. Zhang Haotian was a little happy. Suddenly, another sound of horns sounded on the city tower, followed by countless things like corn cobs throwing them down.
Although I couldn't see what it was in the darkness, Zhang Haotian vaguely saw the shape of this thing and knew it was not good.
Sure enough, when these things fell to the ground, the fire suddenly flashed and a huge explosion sounded. The soldiers of the Morgen standing below fell to the ground, and some were even blown into pieces and were blurred with blood.
At this time, Zhang Haotian already knew that no one would implement the agreement made by the four royal families and the government. Now the Yitai tribe used the grenades used by the Boyan tribe when attacking the Mamu Valley. This was naturally transported from the Boyan tribe in the arsenal in Badatota City, and the number would definitely not be small. Fortunately, he expected that this situation and he was prepared, otherwise he would not have the chance to win at all.
The range of the carriage rifle was only fifty meters. It was necessary to attack the Yitai people on the city tower, so they could only get close to the shooting, completely within the range of the grenade thrown on the city tower. When Zhang Haotian saw that the soldiers were seriously injured, he was anxious and immediately let the horn hand blew the signal to retreat.
At this moment, he held an infrared telescope and looked at the south city gate. He saw the people he sent holding iron shields, moving forward with the rain of bullets and grenades on the city tower. Half of the thirty people had fallen, but the other people had sent the box of grenades into the city gate hole. The grenades thrown on them could no longer blow them up, and he was immediately delighted.
However, his joy did not last long. He only heard a gunshot from the city gate. The people he sent fell to the ground in the gunshot. In a moment, no one could stand in the city gate.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Haotian began to feel cold all over. Only then did he realize how lacking experience he had in siege. There was undoubtedly an enemy shooting port in the city gate, and his people could not stand firm at all, and a box of grenades could not be detonated.
However, in addition to the grenade, he also brought six A-91 assault rifles with grenade heads. This weapon was transported by Haninohai to Meng He. Russian arms dealers taught him how to use it. At that moment, he immediately called Haninohai and asked him to shoot the city gate with grenades and blow the city gate to pieces.
Haninohai had already retreated with the soldiers. Listening to Zhang Haotian's order, he hurried over and took a grenade launcher under the barrel of the A-91 assault rifle. He held it with both hands and walked to a hundred meters opposite the south city gate, lay on the ground, and hooked the plate machine.
He only watched a fire strike towards the city gate like lightning, and then a loud bang, the fire escaped the city gate hole.
Zhang Haotian looked at it with an infrared telescope. When the smoke disappeared, he was stunned. He never expected that under the shooting of the grenade, the city gate was only a recessed and not blown up.
Gaardi was next to him and saw this situation with a telescope. He was stunned for a moment and said, "When I entered England and Manchester City, I saw the city gates. It seemed that they were not thick. Why can't even blow this thing up? It's strange. Let's try again to see if the box of grenades can be detonated."
Zhang Haotian has some modern weapons knowledge. After reading it for a while, he already understood it. He slowly put down his telescope and said in a deep voice: "The gates of England and Manchester City must be made of special steel. They cannot be penetrated without special armor-piercing bombs. Even if the box of grenades is detonated, it will be useless."
Galdi and Haninohai, who had stood up, heard this and said almost at the same time: "What should I do?"
Zhang Haotian did not answer, but said to Qi Rimai, the chief guard who had been standing behind him, "Go to the north gate and tell Master Idler, just tell me my order, and ask him to stop the attack immediately and bring people here."
Listening to his words, Qi Rimai ordered a person, and the man quickly rode away.
At this time, Zhang Haotian's heart was filled with depression. Before planning this operation, he thought that he was not familiar with the siege battle. If he fought hard, he would suffer heavy losses. However, he bet all his hopes on the grenade head of the grenade of the grenade of the A-91 assault rifle, thinking that he could easily explode the city gate, but he did not expect that the city gate in England and Manchester City was actually made of special military steel, which completely disrupted his deployment. If the city gate could not be opened and continued to climb the wall to attack the city, the price would be too high. For himself at present, such losses could not be afforded.
Seeing that the city stopped moving, the Boyan tribes on the city cheered and some people were also insulted loudly, but they tried their best to hide their bodies to avoid being hit by the cold gun below.
Among the four thousand people Zhang Haotian brought, 3,55 were Morgen soldiers, and the other five hundred were New Tatarot soldiers. The former came with blood hatred, while the latter showed off his skills to make Zhang Haotian appreciate it. Unexpectedly, the prince ordered the order to stop after fighting for a while, and was obviously preparing to retreat. Listening to the cheers and provocative insults of the enemy on the city tower, his face showed some disappointment and frustration.
Not long after, Idler and Xidurigu came with people. Zhang Haotian asked, their situation was the same, and it was difficult to climb up the city tower. In just twenty or thirty minutes, nearly 300 people had been killed or injured. If they persisted, they would climb up the city and there would be few people left. There would be no way to fight in the city next.
Since he could not conquer England and Manchester City, Zhang Haotian was about to order his evacuation when he suddenly heard a gunshot, but it came from England and Manchester City's right wing. Needless to say, it was the Bailixia people who came to reinforce him, but was blocked by Sharike, who was in charge of the right wing of Morgen's territory, and he led 300 people to block it.
At this time, Zhang Haotian and other leaders looked at each other, thinking in their hearts that since they could not conquer England and Manchester City, it would be worthwhile to pull out the two major tribes outside the city.
The Bailixia tribe is closer to England and Manchester City, so of course it will arrive first after hearing the news. The Moya tribe on the left wing should have arrived soon. Zhang Haotian thought for a moment and immediately ordered the troops to be divided into two groups, and he led Galdhi and Haninohai to the backbone to cut off the reinforcements of the Bailixia tribe, while Idler and Xidurigu went to the left wing to wait for the Moya reinforcements to arrive.
After dispatching the mission, Zhang Haotian took nearly two thousand soldiers and immediately rushed to the place where the gunshots were fired.
Ten minutes later, I turned a hill and arrived at the place where the two sides fought. I saw people on both sides lying on the snow, shooting at each other thirty or forty meters apart. The people of the Bailixia clan obviously did not know what was ahead, but they were extremely loyal, and were crawling forward with bullets, trying to break through and attack England and Manchester City.
Last time Zhang Haotian attacked the Bailixia tribe. These people built solid fortifications in their places of residence. It was not easy to attack. But now they have come out, and the number of people is far less than that of their own. It is a good time to wipe out the entire extermination. So he whispered, Gaardi led some people to go around to the left, Haninohai led some people to go directly to the right, and he led the remaining people out from behind, rushing out with two ox horns as a signal, and launching an attack at the same time.
Not long after, Zhang Haotian had already brought the soldiers to the rear wing of the Bailixia people. After waiting for a while, it was estimated that Galdi had already brought his men to the left, which made people sound the horn of the horn.
With the sound of the horns and shouts, the soldiers rode their horses towards the Bailixia people.
The Bailixia people knew that England and Manchester City were in trouble, so they had already brought young and middle-aged men from the whole clan to come, with more than 600 people. Although they encountered a blockade here, they were approaching step by step and were able to rush over. But they never expected that the enemy came from all directions and were panicked for a moment. They were originally lying in the snow, but they all stood up and turned around to ride the horses behind to retreat, but it was too late. Zhang Haotian and others were close.
The bullets of two thousand people had flew over and crossed over. The Bailixia people who were standing in the snow without covering them became lambs to be slaughtered. Although they were still holding carriage guns in their hands, they could not aim at the target at all. One after another, they were hit and fell to the ground. In a moment, hundreds of men were lying down on the white snow. Blood flowed out and immediately became cold. The surrounded place seemed to have become a slaughterhouse.
Five minutes later, no Bailixia people stood up, and Haninohai and others began to replenish guns one by one as usual. The war was indeed cruel and it was also about strength. These Bailixia people fought not without courage, nor were they accurate in shooting skills. If they had a one-on-one duel with the Morgen warriors or the Tatarot warriors, they might not lose to somewhere, but they were in an unobstructed place just now, and the enemy came from all sides, and the number was at a disadvantage, so they naturally could not organize an effective counterattack.
Looking at the corpses on this land, Zhang Haotian asked about his casualties. Only 30 people were killed by the Bailixia people and more than 50 were injured. He finally knew what it means to "concentrate superior forces to attack the enemy." When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the only way to defend is to use natural dangers, otherwise he can only retreat and take refuge.
At this moment, there were also dense gunfires from the distance to the right. It was obvious that the Moya people arrived, and their ending would undoubtedly be the same as those of the Bailixia people who were lying on the ground and then silently.
At this moment, Zhang Haotian's mind suddenly moved and his heart suddenly became happy. Although he failed to conquer England and Manchester City, this victory made him discover a great weakness of the Boyan tribe and the Ita tribe.
This weakness is the division system of the Boyan tribe and the Itai tribe. He heard from Uenqi that before the capture of Badatota City, there were nineteen large and small tribes in the Tatarot tribe. However, after being massacred by the three coalition forces, the remaining Tatarot tribes had no divisions. The current Morgen tribe is the same. They live together in the Mamu Valley, and there is no division of tribes, and they do not live in dispersion. The gathering power is very great. In contrast, the Boyan tribe and the Itai tribe have several except for the main city.
Except for the large clan, the other clans were separated scattered, with the nearest being twenty or thirty kilometers, and even hundreds of kilometers away. In the era when Uenqi was hiding in the desert, the Tatarot tribe had only hundreds of warriors and did not dare to fight hard, so they could only grab some cattle and sheep supplies. But now it is different. He has thousands of warriors in his hands and can completely defeat them one by one. Just like the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, through local wars, he eroded the enemy's strength bit by bit, and finally reversed the situation.
Thinking of this, he began to get excited. He listened to the gunshots on the right and knew that the battle was over, so he called a guard to call Idler and Xidurigu to bring people over and prepare to evacuate together.
