Chapter 1364
"What, Lao Qiu, are you underestimating my skills? I, Kang Jianguo, have a decision to do this battle! I can't do it, it's not too late to get on my turn!" Kang Jianguo seemed to have scored a few points more than before, and he was panting heavily. His special saber, which was a few points wider than usual, was deeply inserted into the ground, and his sharpness was revealed. At this time, he had no way out.
When he first brought 30,000 Hannover 1st Corps to approach the ancient city of Bam, he felt something strange. Although he had never fought with the Western Continental Army before, Kang Jianguo knew that the Hannover 1st Corps was not the permanent army of the Hannson Alliance, but the first trump card of the Duchy of Hannover. His combat power was known as the leader of the entire alliance. Compared with the Hannover 2nd Corps, which was listed as the permanent army of the alliance, the opponent retreated steadily. Although his troops had an absolute advantage, he retreated without a single battle like this, which still made Kang Jianguo a little suspicious.
It was not until the other party slowly retreated into the Bam ancient city and after several battles that Kang Jianguo realized that the other party had prepared some preparations in the seemingly dilapidated Bam ancient city. Judging from the battle head-on for a few days, the other party prepared various materials in the city were extremely sufficient, whether it was strategic materials such as arrows, rocks, tincture oil, food, drinking water and other essential materials, which were obviously beyond his expectations. It can be said that the other party consciously retreated here to prepare for a decisive battle with his side. If time restrictions aside, Kang Jianguo was not worried. No matter how well the other party prepared, the Bam ancient city was a long-deprived ancient city, with limited supplies and eventually he would be trapped in it.
However, no one expected that the Hansen Alliance, which had been controversial about sending troops to the West Indian and Germans, would send troops to reinforce, and the reinforcements came very quickly, which forced the Imperial Army to resolve the Kermann battle situation in a short period of time. Otherwise, once the reinforcements arrived and merged with the Hannover First Corps in the ancient city, they would be afraid that their Eastern Front Cluster would face the difficulties. At present, Zhan Botao, the southern front of the Kermann, led four divisions to face the main force mainly in the Hannover Second Corps on the opposite side.
The team was struggling, and the Indian and Dean Legion in the northern Dexin Province was progressing slowly. Although the Seventh Legion on the Central Line was progressing smoothly, after occupying Mashhad, it began to encounter a strong rebound in the enemy's army, and its speed slowed down greatly. It seemed that it would be difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. In other words, if you want to open up the situation, you can only rely on yourself, and Kang Jianguo never planned to rely on others. That was a cowardly behavior, and he needed to prove it with his own strength.
"Brother Kang, needless to say, I, Qiu Zicheng, are not the kind of coward who lives behind others. Otherwise, we will be divided into one place. I will lead the 10th Legion reserve team to attack the south. Brother Kang, you lead your reserve team to attack the north. Let us work together to see who can enter the city first. If we cannot take it down, then we don't need to say more. Let the supervisor team solve us!" Qiu Zicheng's tone was even stronger. When we got to this point, everyone knew that there was no way out. It would be better to use this burden to suppress it, fight to the death, and fight to the death!
Burley finally felt that the first attack was different from any previous one. Although the Tang soldiers were fearless in death, their soldiers were also terrified and had no fear at all. The cruel battle had made everyone forget all emotions, leaving only one thought, kill the enemy and defend the city. But this time, Burley noticed that the enemy's attack speed was slower than any other. This sounded nothing, but it was not a good phenomenon for generals like Burley who were old in war. The black enemy soldiers were densely spread under the entire city wall and gathered into two thick attack clusters. Burley had a bad premonition. This time the enemy's attack was probably the most fierce one since he guarded the ancient city of Bam. He even felt a sense of oppression with a shaken heart.
The Tang army gathered under the city wall to form two huge attack clusters, slowly advancing forward, and finally stopped outside the range of long-range weapons attacks. Burley's monolithic mirror slowly moved in the crowd. Although the dense heads made it difficult for Burley to tell anything, Burley, who was skilled in observing, found some differences from the differences in clothing. A large number of middle and senior officers joined this attack wave. If it was ordinary, Burley would do this very well, because this could use the advantage of defense to kill the opponent's officers in large quantities, which could cause huge losses to the opponent. It doesn't matter if an army lacks soldiers, but if there is a lack of qualified officers, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will also have a huge impact on the development of an army.
But at this time, Burley's heart couldn't help but sink. At this time, the enemy's formation showed that the enemy was about to burn his boats and fight to the death. The imposing momentum brought by the dark attack formation made Burley feel breathless. Looking at the subordinates behind him who were holding their spirits into the defensive situation, Burley was exhausted until they were exhausted. For five consecutive days of defense, although the materials prepared were quite sufficient, the defense was supported by people, and materials were only one requirement. The continuous day and night impact of the Tang army made the soldiers of the First Army of Hanover, who were known as the invincible army, feel a little overwhelmed. The almost crazy charge made the Hanover soldiers exhausted physically and mentally, but for honor and survival, they had to persevere.
The world seemed to be about to stop, and two protruding wedge-shaped attack groups stood silently under the city. The Hansen Allied Army on the city wall seemed to be a little scared by this momentum, and could not think of any way to deal with it for a while. However, how long does this quiet atmosphere last? As the two red flags suddenly waved, the shocking sound of golden drums suddenly sounded, like a flood that suddenly pulled the gate open, two unstoppable torrents swept towards Bam's ancient city, as if they were about to submerge the entire city.
The sound of "swooshing" in the air almost suddenly came to the air, followed by a creaking sound of crossbow arrows squeaking. Archers and crossbow arrows almost immediately covered the sky outside the city wall, covering and pouring down like dark clouds. Obviously, they were used to this kind of blocking wave. The Tang soldiers bowed their waists and raised their shields, lowered their bodies, and tried to hide behind the skin shield. As long as they crossed this most dangerous distance, the threat of the bow and arrow would be much smaller. Of course, they would also face the baptism of rock rolling wood and tinder oil.
Countless cloud ladders rushed out in a moment. The large pulley under the cloud ladder quickly advanced under the operation of four soldiers, and soon arrived at the battlement of the city wall. The sharp hook was deeply stuck on the adobe wall, and the ladder was fixed immediately. The Tang soldiers who had already clustered under the cloud ladder immediately rushed upwards, holding their waists, shields on their heads, and jumped up, which was unusual. This was Kang Jianguo who had sent all the direct sniper troops of his legion. In addition to the bow and arrow snipers, most of these soldiers came from the martial arts world in the mainland of the empire. They were even worse than grassroots officers in marching and formation, and were even more amateurs in commanding wars. However, in this case, they could play a much stronger role than ordinary soldiers and officers.
As soon as Burley contacted him, he knew that this time the real crisis was coming. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and all the reserve team, which had never appeared, pounced on without reservation, and immediately formed a group of Tang soldiers who had easily broken through the first line of defense of the city wall. The city wall immediately became the focus of competition between the two sides.
Kang Jianguo was anxiously watching every battlefield on the city wall. Half of dozens of cloud ladders had burned or were pushed down and broken, and they could play a role less than forty, but it was these forty cloud ladders that were constantly transporting snipers to the city wall. It was obvious that the first snipers who climbed the city wall caught the Hanoverians off guard and formed several large gaps in the city wall at once. The subsequent troops rushed up along these gaps. Although their commanders were very agile, there was a time difference between them. He needed to make a judgment and then issue orders. No matter how timely the reaction was or how agile the movements were, it took time, and almost every second was fatal.
However, the quality of the Hanover soldiers was fully demonstrated at this time, and they were lined up in neatly slapped arrays, slowly but firmly squeezing into the middle along the wings of the city wall, without the need for the officer's order. They knew that once the enemy stood firm in these gaps, it would be their doomsday. Although the individual sniper soldiers were far superior to their opponents, they were still suppressed in front of such dense gun forests. They could splice good personal abilities and constantly cause casualties to the other party. However, if one fell down, another soldier immediately filled it up and squeezed the gap that had already expanded step by step back.
