Chapter 1163

When the situation in the southeast corner was in a state of festering, Kamapov still sat firmly on the east gate wall and could see the battlements everywhere. The dangerous situation in the southeast corner almost turned everyone's eyes there and even affected the defense on the front of the east gate. However, under Kamapov's severe scolding, the officers quickly returned to normal and re-entered their respective positions. Kamapov did not have no concern about the crisis in the southeast corner, but he knew that even if the people on his side, including himself, would be useless. On the contrary, it might not shake the morale of the army and even lead to the collapse of the entire East Gate wall defense system. It would be better to sit here to stabilize the morale of the army, and not to mention Kamapov also believed that his arrangement would not have a situation of insurmountable cities in this case.

A corps arranged on the South Gate wall played their emergency role in time, and the reserve team under the South Gate wall had also taken over the responsibility of the corps that should have taken the main defense of the South Gate wall. The Xijiang Army, which was advancing rapidly from the South Gate wall, quickly squeezed the Northern Army, which had just climbed up the wall and had not yet breathed, on this corner. The Xijiang Army, which was from north to south, had the same purpose, but the Northern Army firmly relied on this corner to fight against the huge pressure from both sides.

Seeing that the northern army gathered in the southeast corner became increasingly dense. According to the observation of the Northern Army's army's mobilization, Chu Taifeng obviously wanted to make a breakthrough in the southeast corner. The continuous joining army made the southeast corner suddenly the center of competition.

"Order the Fire Dragon Cannon to set up front and concentrate firepower to attack the city at the southeast corner to bombard me with a fierce bomb!" This is a somewhat adventurous decision. The Fire Dragon Cannon is quite delicate and difficult to move. Once it is hit by the enemy's catapult, it may become a pile of scrap iron. But in this case, there seems to be no other way. If the enemy's continuous offensive is not restrained, relying solely on such face-to-face hard fighting will be quite unfavorable to the Western Xinjiang side.

Four or five fire dragon cannons were slowly pushed to the side of the squadron, slowly adjusting the gun to the position. As the small red flag in the hand of the flag bearer waved several fire dragon cannonballs soared into the air, and immediately a rain of fire splashed under the southeast corner of the city wall.

The tragic scene was simply unbearable. When the fire dragon shells either fell into the group of soldiers and exploded directly in the air, the sprinkled fire nets suddenly covered the ground within a radius of dozens of meters. Even the base of the two or three meters of the city wall was suddenly covered by flames, and the entire southeast corner wall suddenly turned into a human-meat grilling field.

The shrill howling mixed with the smell of burnt barbecue, the blood-red flames spread everywhere, devouring everything that could burn. For this sudden disaster, the soldiers of the Northern Army were almost unprepared for the sudden disaster. The overwhelming fire net immediately swept in the nearly a thousand soldiers gathered under the southeast corner. Firemen burning all over the body struggled and ran under the city wall. The soldiers gathering towards the southeast corner were in a mess. Faced with this disaster that could hardly be described in words, no matter how high the soldiers were fighting spirit and firm the will, they could not compete, and a great situation was actually destroyed by these few fire dragon shells!

Chu Taifeng stood in front of the commander of the catapult cluster with gritted teeth and ordered him to knock out the fire dragon cannons that were openly exposed to the city walls. Dozens of giant catapults launched bombardment attacks almost continuously. The fire dragon cannon group on the Western Xinjiang army was almost covered by overwhelming rocks when they had just launched the third shell. Although Kamapov also adopted some protective facilities, in this situation where almost all the giant catapult bombardment was concentrated, dozens of soldiers responsible for operating and protecting the fire dragon cannons almost had no chance to snorkeletons and were obscured in the stone rain falling from the sky.

Kamapov felt miserable. When he ordered the Fire Dragon Cannon to be pushed out of the bunker and forced it to bombard the city walls, he had already expected this result. The Northern Army's reaction speed was unusually fast. The five Fire Dragon Cannons had only time to issue three shells to declare their mission to the end. Faced with this intensive bombardment of huge rocks, they knew the fate of the Fire Dragon Cannon without even thinking about it.

However, the cost of the sacrifice of these five dragon cannons was unusual. The entire area centered on the southeast corner almost became a hell on earth. Within a radius of dozens of feet, as many as five or six thousand soldiers were gathered, but with the bombardment of three consecutive rounds of these five dragon cannons, they disappeared all of a sudden. According to the staff's estimates, at least more than two thousand people were directly injured and killed by this extraordinary bombardment. More importantly, this directly led to the Northern Army, which had been firmly controlling the situation on the city wall in the southeast corner, fell into a situation without support. Under the attack of the Western Xinjiang reinforcements from the west and north, although they fought bravely, this could no longer save the defeat. Hundreds of soldiers fell down one by one in a wave of higher than the other of the gun shadows and swords.

Chu Taifeng could only watch as if he was already waving to him and passed by him again, and he also paid the painful price of thousands of elite soldiers. Although he was still confident that he would win the final victory of this war, the enemy's Fire Dragon Cannon was too powerful and lethal, like a cloud in Chu Taifeng's heart. Faced with this great lethal weapon that has surpassed the power of any traditional weapon, Chu Taifeng could not think of any effective way to restrain it. Although this weapon still has many restrictions on range and use, its power is enough to make up for all its shortcomings. This weapon also seems to represent a direction of future development of wars, that is, weapons will play an increasingly important role in future wars, and may even play a role in changing the entire situation, which seemed unimaginable in the past.

The war did not weaken due to the thrilling battle in the southeast corner. Xijiang also paid a price when he won the victory in the battle in the southeast corner. The destruction of five dragon cannons affected the control of the entire eastern city wall to varying degrees. The northern army generals, including Chu Taifeng, quickly noticed this subtle change. Chu Taifeng even ordered his two divisions to launch a full-scale offensive at all costs. He even changed his plan and transferred a division of the Second Corps to serve as a reserve force in advance, so that he could invest at any time when he had a real opportunity.

It should be said that Chu Taifeng's crazy attack of all recklessness did cause great trouble to the Xijiang side. The destruction of the five fire dragon cannons weakened the blockade and suppression force originally designed, which was soon reflected in all aspects. Once the suppression force of the fire dragon cannons weakened, the offensive of the Northern Army immediately became more fierce, especially when Chu Taifeng made the two divisions without reserves the strong attack of the reserve team, which increased the pressure of the Western Xinjiang defense army. Xijiang had to invest more defensive forces to prevent the defense line from being broken through again, and the Northern Army was obviously quite expert in this kind of attack. Their offensives were suddenly in the south, and sometimes in the north, and even could

Three consecutive strong attacks were launched at a certain place, which made the reserve team arranged on the city wall in Xijiang constantly exhausted. Fortunately, the sniper team in Xijiang fully demonstrated their power, and their concentrated attacks always won a lot of time, which stabilized the quite dangerous situation several times, but at the same time, it also brought considerable casualties to the sniper team. The direct sniper team of the entire Fifth Legion almost reached one quarter of the casualties in the battle in these two days, and the number of sacrifices was close to the 100-man mark. This is the most elite part of a legion, and these 100 people are even more effective than a regiment to some extent.

No one had ever thought that the war on the second day would be so fierce and lasting. From the beginning of the battle in the southeast corner, the war almost entered a state of heat. Both sides invested huge manpower and material resources in the battle in the southeast corner, and paid a very painful price. Chu Taifeng was equivalent to exchanging the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers for the scrapping of five dragon cannons from the people of Western Xinjiang. This seemed incomparable, but after the battle ended, it showed its role.

It was not without rewards. Chu Taifeng's investment also received generous rewards. Kamapov had to send the general reserve team that was ready to appear on the third day. This was a last resort. The tactical reserve team suffered too much loss, so that the strategic reserve team had to appear in advance. Kamapov didn't know how long this early appearance could help him maintain it, but it at least helped him ease the situation in the entire Yunzhong Prefecture, especially the situation in the East Gate.
