Chapter 540 Breaking the City
The battle here made Zuo Zhen annoyed.
Although he had calculated everything, he failed to predict that Xu Yong, whom he had placed high hopes on, would be so unlucky. In less than one round of the fight, the strongest member of his army was killed in front of the battle, causing the beheading operation to appear prematurely unsuccessful.
this moment!
Zuo Zhen couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
When did this ferocious strongman appear in Tuodi Wasteland?
Why don't you know?
Zuo Zhen was angry at Xu Yong's incompetence, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The situation was very urgent at this time, and I didn't have much time to think, so I had to make a decision immediately.
If the sneak attack fails and you are attacked from both sides, what should you do?
As a clear-minded, cruel and cold-blooded commander, Zuo Zhen knew very well that the Warhammer Fortress was important, but the Boundary River Dam was the foundation for survival. Once the Boundary River Dam was lost... the third division he led would not even have a foothold.
.
Only when that time comes will it really be said that it is beyond redemption!
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhen could only choose the lesser of two evils.
"retreat!"
Zuo Zhen made a decision.
The Third Division army, which came with murderous intent, could only return in despair.
…
The battle is over!
This battle can be said to be completely anticlimactic, but both sides were frightened into a cold sweat.
As far as Song Ziyu is concerned, although he resolved the crisis, he also exposed his shortcomings.
I was too arrogant and almost fell into the enemy's position.
Song Ziyu, who had learned a lesson and gained wisdom, did not dare to make any more mistakes, and immediately moved the command post to the center of the army to avoid being attacked by beheadings again.
At the same time, Song Ziyu rebuilt the defense network, improved the defense posture, and no longer gave Zuo Zhen any opportunity to take advantage of...
After completing these arrangements, Song Ziyu began to mobilize troops and generals, preparing to gather heavy troops to attack Warhammer Fortress.
Because Pang Kaijiang on the other side of the river is leading Northern Steel
The containment of the Iron Alliance army caused the main force of the Third Division stationed at the Jiehe Dam to be overwhelmed and had no time to think about anything else, giving Song Ziyu a lot of time to operate.
Song Ziyu threw away his arms, grabbed the Warhammer Fortress and attacked it fiercely.
However……
The officers guarding the fortress were very tightly arranged and gave Song Ziyu almost no chance.
Longshan's warriors, who lacked heavy firepower, were unable to defeat Warhammer Fortress.
finally!
After several days of continuous strong attacks, Song Ziyu waited for the reinforcements he had been longing for.
Song Ziyu, as the former organizer of the Wasteland Alliance, sent a note to the major settlements in Tuodi Wasteland, inviting them to fulfill the agreement of the year and expel the invaders of the wasteland under his call!
After waiting for many days, troops from settlements in Datuodi Wasteland, led by Kunshan and Sheer settlements, gradually arrived on the frontline battlefield.
The equipment of these people may not be very sophisticated and their combat power is quite low, but manpower is always of great use!
With so many people to deploy, Song Ziyu's plan could finally be implemented as his own civil engineering work plan.
After mobilizing these people, Song Ziyu told the commanders of the major settlements according to his own ideas, and asked them to immediately arrange for everyone to go into battle and use soil work to destroy the foundation of the wall of the Warhammer Fortress.
This is a very labor-intensive task. Before the people from the major settlements arrived, Song Ziyu could not complete this project with only Longshan's soldiers.
At this time, the defenders in the Warhammer Fortress have been completely besieged by the army led by Song Ziyu. Anyone who dares to show their head will be beaten... This provides conditions for the people who are digging under the city wall.
Under such a fierce operation, the defenders of Warhammer Fortress had no time to care about these earthworkers and could only let these people torment them.
finally!
In the midst of suffering!
After all the hard work, the soldiers working on the soil work successfully dug down a large section of the fortress wall!
Without the protection of the wall, Warhammer Fortress immediately opened its doors.
An open space appeared in front of them, and the internal structure of the fortress appeared before everyone's eyes.
Longshan's soldiers, who had been gearing up for a long time, finally couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed into the fortress with guns and cannons.
A fierce street fight began.
…
Guan Xingming was sitting on a chair in the temporary command post, holding a long sword inlaid with gold and jade in his hand.
As the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division, Guan Xingming is the commander and direct person in charge of the Warhammer Fortress.
As early as a few days ago, Warhammer Fortress was cut off from the main force of the Third Division on the Boundary River.
From that moment on, Guan Xingming knew that his fate had been sealed.
Surrender or die in battle, there are only two options. You must make a choice.
Guan Xingming made his own choice!
"Captain, the enemy has dug through the city wall and invaded!"
The soldiers under his command were panicked.
Guan Xingming did not blame these soldiers. In the face of an enemy several times his own, everyone felt that a disaster was coming.
Compared to the chaos of his soldiers, Guan Xingming seemed very calm.
There was no emotion on his face other than the unique resoluteness of a soldier.
The shouts of killing are loud all around!
Guan Xingming slowly stroked the long sword in his hand.
This sword was a famous sword given to Guan Xingming personally by the marshal of the Steel Alliance after he achieved great results against the Federation and was evaluated by the Military Merit Committee.
This sword also represents the most glorious moment of Guan Xingming's entire military career.
All gone...
Now, with the Third Division being designated as rebels, professional soldiers
Guan Xingming also fell into a trance.
The bounden duty of a soldier is loyalty, and Guan Xingming has been fulfilling this motto throughout his life.
But now that things have come to a point, Guan Xingming is also very conflicted.
Who are you loyal to?
Is it the third division, Zuo Zhen or himself?
As a soldier, Guan Xingming didn't have any answers.
so……
In Guan Xingming's view, dying in battle may be his best choice.
Soldiers wrap their bodies in horse leather and die because they deserve to die.
Standing up slowly, Guan Xingming said to his subordinates: "Wear armor for me!"
…
Song Ziyu was looking at his troops swarming into the Warhammer Fortress, with a smile on his face.
Taking down the Warhammer Fortress can be said to be crucial to me.
This is the general logistics base of the Boundary River Defense Line. All the troops on the dam need supplies here.
As long as we capture this place, the dam will be cut off from supplies, which is a disguised declaration that the war is coming to an end.
How could this not make Song Ziyu happy?
The offensive and defensive battles over the past few days have been very tough, and it is time to end the battle.
However!
Just as Song Ziyu was contemplating the next deployment, the sound of fighting in the city suddenly became louder.
There is a situation!
Song Ziyu's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through everything.
Outside the collapsed wall of Warhammer Fortress, a man wearing iron armor and holding a long-handled strange sword was standing in front of him with the aura of one man standing in front of him. With a casual wave, the strange sword could kill people.
Under his strange sword, it seemed as if the god of death was calling.
Seeing this scene, Song Ziyu could tell almost instantly that this was a master.
"Bring me my knife!"
Chapter completed!
