The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 923 The Final Battle 1
On January 27 of the second year of Guangwu, amidst the howling cold wind, the Ximan army launched an attack.

Hesitantly, there are many scouts from the Jin army, and the attack launched by the Ximan is basically not sudden.

This time, the western barbarians assembled nearly 40 troops, and they had a huge advantage over the Jin army's 15 troops.

Of course, in order to give full play to the advantages of military strength, there are very high requirements on the command system and the command ability of the commander.

Although the Jin army was small in strength, it had a favorable location to rely on, and all cities and towns along the way could resist the enemy.

It's just that Zhao Yanxun had to retreat to the rear due to the fact that the enemy army was too strong, and Liangshan Fort was already in an extremely dangerous state.

Facts have proved that Zhao Yanxun's choice was correct, Liangshan Fort fell after holding on for three days.

Fortunately, after the cavalry of the imperial army was cut off, the officers and soldiers guarding the fort were able to withdraw instead of being surrounded by the western barbarians.

Not only Liangshan Fort was attacked, but the other Wu Forts did not hold on for too long, and some Zhao Yanxun gave up directly.

The wall of the Wubao was too low, and it was extremely difficult to defend against the desperate impact of the western barbarians.

Except for the cavalry, the nearly [-] Jin army infantry all retreated to the county capital and continued to defend by relying on Jiancheng.

As for Zhao Yanxun himself, he was sitting in the Fucheng, only more than 50 miles away from the front line.

Entering February, the weather is still cold, and the war in Tianshan County is heating up.

With tens of thousands of people fighting desperately, there is basically no room for strategic combat, and the two sides can only fight head-to-head.

However, the Jin army had cities to rely on, complete armor and weapons, and sharp weapons such as gunpowder, which caused great losses to the Western Barbarian army.

As of the fifth day of February, the western barbarian army had lost nearly 10 people, while the Jin army had only lost [-] people.

Although the western barbarians still have an advantage in strength, they lack stamina and their offensive is not as fast as before.

This is actually quite normal, after all, the hundreds of thousands of casualties were their most elite soldiers.

Without these people, no matter how many other troops come, the effect will not be very good.

In addition to the infantry attacking the city, the cavalry of the Western Barbarian army moved from east to west in Tianshan County, and some even entered Beidi County.

Now the entire Northwest has entered a state of combat readiness. Under the arrangement of the Governor's Office, all cities, men, women and children, have participated in the defense.

Although there were tens of thousands of Western Man cavalrymen who entered Beidi County, there was nothing they could do about the city defended by the people. It was a stupid way to attack by force.

In addition, it is early spring, and the fields outside the city have not been plowed yet, and these Western barbarians can't find anything.

With no other choice, these western barbarian cavalry could only choose to attack the city, because they had no other choice.

Only by taking down the city can they have a place to stay and get supplies to continue fighting.

There is no way, these cavalry can only dismount, cut down trees and bamboos and start to build siege equipment.

The combat power of tens of thousands of cavalry cannot be ignored, but when they dismounted and attacked the city on foot, at least half of their combat power was lost.

Although the army and civilians defending the city are only five thousand, they can use the geographical advantage to deal with them.

It's all about surviving. Although there are not many soldiers and civilians defending the city, they have also exploded with strong resilience.

However, despite the huge disparity in military strength, the county town was still captured, and none of the soldiers and civilians who defended the city survived.

After conquering the city, this western barbarian army obtained a large amount of food, enough to feed them for half a month.

But these people only finished training for three days, and then set their sights on the next city. They have already tasted the sweetness.

So while continuing to attack the city, they also sent people to the front line to send messages to let more people directly enter Beidi County.

Rather than fighting with the Jin court army in Tianshan County, Beidi County is naturally easier to attack.

However, when they attacked the two counties, they encountered more stubborn resistance, and the Northwest Governor's Office sent additional troops here.

At the same time, a forbidden army of 2000 people appeared in the north of the attacked county.

"Attack..." Commander Wang Zong called out the military order.

This 2000-man army is equipped with full-body iron armor, and its momentum is even more majestic, which is extremely rare among the forbidden army.

It's because this army is the second-level magic left guard with all members, and it was only transferred from Hexi County half a month ago.

In addition to the Shence Left Guard, the Shence Right Guard led by Xu Yu has also entered Beidi County, but they are defending in another direction.

When 1 infantry were found in the north, the Ximan commander who organized the attack did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent [-] people to stop it.

With five times the superior force, and cavalry against infantry, it seems safe no matter how you look at it.

But in the end, the Western Barbarian army was defeated in less than half an hour, and the remnants fled directly back to the city.

Obviously the siege could not continue, so the commander immediately led his troops away and returned to the city they had already occupied.

But when they went back, they found that all the gates of the city were surrounded by the Jin army, and those who stayed behind couldn't get out.

There is no way, the returning people can only attack, intending to rescue the people in the city.

The besieging army came from the left and right shence guards. The total number was 8000, and there were only [-] scattered around the city gate.

Although there are not many troops, they are absolutely elite, equipped with excellent weapons and armor, and their combat effectiveness is beyond the sky.

Although the western barbarian army had a large number of people, they couldn't use it in a small area at all, so that the losses were extremely heavy.

rumbling...

Explosions sounded from time to time, which was the use of grenades by the Imperial Army.

The western barbarians were unable to attack, and the casualties were so heavy that they had no choice but to retreat.

As for those people in the city, they can only hold on by themselves, and then wait for reinforcements...

There were almost [-] when they came, and only [-] when they left, and the time before and after did not exceed ten days.

When these people withdrew, the imperial army began to attack the city.

Their strong attack is the real strong attack. These people are like killing machines, attacking the city wall neatly.

Then, the real slaughter begins.

In order to avenge the defending army and civilians here, the forbidden army killed all the Western Man soldiers in the city.

The entire city was shrouded in blood, and a fire was burning in the open space outside the city. All the corpses had to be disposed of to prevent infection with the zombie virus.

"It's a pity that the emperor ordered us to garrison Beidi County, otherwise I would have to go to Tianshan and kill all the bullshit kings and nobles of the Western Barbarians!" Wang Zong was furious.

All along, he has a temper that doesn't talk too much, which can make him so angry, it is obvious that he really hates Ximan.

Sighing, Xu Yu said: "Beidi County is big, it's not easy to guard against it, you and I have a heavy burden!"

Nodding his head, Wang Zong said: "Fortunately, the emperor sent us to go north in advance, otherwise the Northland might be harmed!"

"The blood debt must be paid in blood, and the barbarian will not be able to dance for long!" Xu Yu said in a deep voice.

Don't look at the tens of thousands of people who broke into Beidi County, but more people were actually blocked, and fierce battles broke out all the time.

After a brief rest in the city, the left and right shence guards deployed their defenses separately.

Although they are infantry, but with the horses provided by the Huns before, plus the horses captured from the Western Man in the past few days, the left and right guards already have extremely strong mobility.

With them deploying defenses in the north, coupled with the strong defense of cities in various places, the more than 1 western barbarian cavalry felt that they had no chance, so they could only withdraw to Tianshan County.

At this time, on the land of Tianshan County, a decisive battle related to the survival of the two clans has also been brewing to the last moment.
