The second night

The Fieldings, who were walking on the city wall to inspect the defense arrangement, seemed to have lost weight, and their eyes were a little blue and black, but what was bothering him in front of him was not the aggressive Kaman army. The information had already reflected that the enemy was about 70,000. The coach was actually Duke Miley, known as Kaman's double pillars, who was stolen and replaced by the pillars, but all this was still not enough to make him full of sorrow.

What worried him was that Jiayuguan, which still seemed as indestructible as an iron tower, was bound to hide a huge conspiracy behind the enemy's crazy attack. Fielding was sure of this, but he knew nothing about what kind of conspiracy it was, and had no clue. No matter how he guessed and calculated from various angles, there was still no result that really satisfies and convincing him.

What was the idea of ​​the Fourth Division of the Northwest Legion, which was advancing rapidly towards his territory, made him feel difficult to deal with. He knew that Li Wufeng, the Northwest Military and Political Control Governor, had a very clear idea of ​​the appetite of Li Wufeng. Although it seemed that the two sides had maintained a peaceful life in recent years, he knew that the nominal boss in the west was always thinking about how to truly bring Taixuan Mansion into his palm. His subordinates were all loyal promoters of his policies from time to time. Although Li Wufeng has not yet answered the Northwest, even so, will they sincerely help themselves? Or do they want to take over the rule of Taixuan Mansion in one fell swoop?

I am afraid that I can't make such a decision if I let them stand outside the city. At least in name, the Northwest Military and Political Administration is also my direct boss. Moreover, they were ordered to reinforce themselves to ensure the stability of Taixuan Mansion. But if they were allowed to enter the city, what would happen after the Kaman retreated? Fielding was unwilling to think about this and could not even avoid this. What should I do? Looking at the endless fertile field under the city wall, Fielding was filled with sorrow.

After receiving the letter handed by the speeding correspondent, Miley's face changed slightly, "It's coming so fast."

"Sir, have there been any changes?" the deputy general who followed him quickly asked.

"Hmph, Li Wufeng finally sent troops. His Northwest Legion Fourth Division had officially crossed the border and entered Taixuan Mansion." A trace of worry flashed across Miley's red face, "Ling Tianfang has also brought three main divisions to press east from Qingyang. It seems that they don't want our plan to be implemented smoothly."

"But the information says that Li Wufeng has just left Zhongzhou City." The deputy general was a little surprised.

"Don't underestimate those guys under Li Wufeng. They are not weak people, and Ling Tianfang is not a good person. It seems that our plan may not be able to fully achieve the goal." A sneer flashed across Miley's lips, "It's good to be a friend, it's also good to be an enemy."

The deputy general looked at the Duke staring in front of him with a confused look on his face. He didn't know what his two sentences were meaningless.

Without paying attention to the deputy general's face, Duke Miley decisively issued an order: "Order the 1, 2, 30,000 team to speed up the progress immediately, be sure to seize the highlands north of Taixuan Prefecture before the enemy reinforcements, be careful to keep a distance from the enemy and not contact casually."

The messenger next to him accurately repeated a command before he ran away.

"Dude, why do we use our cavalry advantages to attack the enemy's reinforcements first? The army of Taixuan Mansion dares to leave the city now. We can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the enemy's aura first." The deputy general looked at the commander in front of him in confusion. Although he respected Miley very much, he still couldn't help asking.

"The situation has changed. I guess the enemy's security division in Guide will soon go to Taixuan. Although the troops are nominally guard divisions, they are all composed of Gao Yue barbarians. They are specifically targeted at cavalry and have been trained for a long time. The two generals are not weak. If our cavalry encounters them, they may not be able to have an advantage."

Obviously, he has studied the troops under Li Wufeng for a long time. Even the guards are well aware of the military principle. Not to mention that he has a more important reason. The main goal of this battle is Jiayuguan. As long as Jiayuguan is captured, the mission is completed more than half. As for Taixuan Mansion, it is good to be easily captured, but if the price is too high, Millin would rather give up. After all, if you master Jiayuguan, you can go south easily. Whether it is Li Wufeng or other people in the Tanghe Empire, it is a burden. He needs to station heavy troops to defend against the Kaman army that pounces down at any time.

In the long run, Miley hopes to let Li Wufeng control it, so that at least Li Wufeng's troops can be restrained. This will be a huge burden for Li Wufeng, whose troops are not strong, and it can also greatly reduce Li Wufeng's ability to interfere with the upcoming Taiping Cult uprising in the Kansai, which is also a good result for his side.

Claudia stood calmly on a small high ground in front of the gate, staring at the front without any expression, and the war had entered a white-hot state. Except for the two 10,000 teams of the Royal Guards, which were specially reserved, the other 10,000 teams have already taken turns.

The attack is now launched by the 30,000-man team of the Royal Guards, and it is also a trump card in Claudia's hands. First of all, long-range strike weapons are still used for pre-covering. With waves of arrows and boulders, followed by golden waves of soldiers rushing towards the city wall one after another. The soldiers scattered into scattered teams finally approached the city wall under the cover of huge shields (Note 1). After the heavy siege vehicles were destroyed by a giant stone thrower on the city wall, the remaining few were finally pushed to the front of the city wall.

Faced with these huge and heavy guys, the soldiers on the defensive side were prepared. Although they were hit by dense rocks and arrows, the soldiers had to drill out fortifications and risked their lives to splash buckets of tung oil that had been prepared onto these giants. Then rockets poured out, and soldiers fell from time to time, but one fell down and the other immediately came up. Otherwise, once these huge siege cars were all successfully set up, the danger of the city breaking would be quite great.

Although it was specially prepared for fire prevention, with the extremely flammable tung oil, some siege cars soon ignited a raging fire, but just this time was enough. Taking the siege cars towered to the stairs of the city wall, hundreds of soldiers rushed up to the slogans, and in an instant, countless golden figures flashed on the city wall. Even though Claudia knew that it was not that simple, her body couldn't help but raise her body slightly.

Immediately after waves of enemy soldiers appeared on the top of the city wall, and the wall suddenly turned into a bloody Shura field. The soldiers who were trapped in the crazy knew that this was a battle of life and death, and there was no other idea. The figures of the opponent's soldiers, machetes, spears, giant axes, short halberds, and various weapons collided with each other, and the broken limbs and bodies were broken, and blood and flesh had become the most worthwhile things in the world. The shouts, calls, mourns, and muffled roars all played a vivid and cruel struggle march.

Seeing the golden figure on the top of the city gradually decreasing until it disappeared, Claudia sighed softly and waved his hand to signal the messenger to withdraw the troops. Soon, the "Wuwu" horn sounded in front of the formation. The Royal Guards who received the order also followed the order and stopped fighting again. They quickly joined the shield that was advancing forward and retreated in an orderly manner. Seeing this scene in front of him, even Viscount Dominic, who had always been proud of his 7th Corps' combat effectiveness, had to nod and sigh. Even though his 7th Corps' combat effectiveness and fighting will be nodded and sighed. Even though his 7th Corps' combat effectiveness and fighting will be nodded, he had to admit that his subordinates were half way behind.

"Marquis, if we fight hard like this, it is unlikely that we will have a chance of winning. The location of Jiayuguan is really unfavorable to us. Although we have used almost all the siege equipment in the past few days and our soldiers have tried our best, the effect seems not good. The enemy still retains at least 70% of the combat power, and they can temporarily recruit young and middle-aged people in the fortress. I am worried that Viscount Dominic was worried. This is the third time he has made a suggestion to the head coach Marquis Claudia. Although he opposed such a strong attack that was irresistible and could not see hope, as a soldier, he still firmly obeyed the head coach's orders. In a few days, his 7th Corps lost more than 40%.

Claudia could understand Dominic's intentions. Viscount has always been known for his love for soldiers like his sons, so he has a high prestige in the Seventh Corps. The soldiers are happy to serve. He did not reveal the key points of this plan to the Viscount the previous two times, but now he can tell the other party, because the archery book submitted by the soldiers just now has decided that the end of the battle will be announced tonight.

Confused but enlightened Viscount Dominic repeated the letter handed to him by the coach several times. There was only a short sentence on it, "Third update tonight", and still couldn't fully understand it. He looked at Claudia with some excitement: "Marquis Marquis, do you mean we have an insider tonight?!"

Claudia's cold face also showed an excited red tide. He nodded, "Yes, the city will be broken tonight! Your Excellency Viscount, you will arrange immediately to let the 120,000-man team of the 7th Corps be the reserve team, you are responsible for leading the team. Tonight I personally take my 120,000-man team of the attack, and the winner will be here!"

"Sir, ``````````````

"No need to say more, I have decided." Claudia took a deep breath and calmed down, "The glory of the empire is tonight, and I hope the blood of our soldiers will not flow in vain."

The tent was silent for a moment, and only the fiery red candlelight was jumping tirelessly, reflecting the two figures that had experienced vicissitudes in front of the desk.
