Chapter 8, Zhanchuan Shaanxi (1)
.On April 1, 999, the Empire’s Era, Tongguan, Shaanxi Road, Shaanxi Province, the Empire’s Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, Fenglingdu.
Fonseca led the army and finally landed successfully under the cover of a strong archer.
A reorganized Teutonic heavy infantry regiment, a reorganized Red Kingdom Battle Axe regiment, a light cavalry composed of five thousand Xianbei descendants who surrendered to Qinggang Province, and a slave cannon fodder team of more than ten thousand people.
These elite and murderous Western coalition soldiers gathered on the shore, with their targets being the "Twelve Cities" more than ten meters high in front of them, the more than ten thousand Fenwu soldiers above them, as well as the temporary military and civilians who were less than 30,000.
"The whole army contracted, and all archers arrived above Liancheng. The shield player immediately set up a shield to protect the archers!" Although Sima Nan was full of anger at this moment, he still gave orders in an orderly manner.
Soon, the archers who had first retreated from the river bank came to Liancheng one after another, and in front of them, the shield hands also set up a half-person-high shield.
"Forty-five degrees upwards, scatter!" Seeing that the enemy was still lined up and preparing to charge, Sima Nan ordered.
The rain of arrows splashed down from the high platform. Even if there were heavy armor protection, the battle axe regiment of the Red Kingdom did not have heavy armor protection. The Xianbei light cavalry that had just arrived ashore were even mixed with more than 10,000 cannon fodder troops, crowded with people and horses, and they were neighing, and they were in chaos.
"Teutonic warriors, follow my command and set up shields; the bad boys of Reed, go first; the damn Xianbei people, you cannot separate from the tenants first..." Fonseca cursed loudly.
Although Fonseca was just a ten thousand men, he was the commander of the station personally ordered by the coalition commander Jose and Archbishop Rembrandt, so several other ten thousand men or legion commanders carried out his orders silently.
The first batch of arrow rains of the Han soldiers probably caused more than 2,000 casualties to the just-land Western coalition forces, and most of them were caused by the chaos and crowding of slave soldiers from the poorly organized Xianbei cavalry and cannon fodder troops.
As for the 20,000 troops of the main attack Teutonic Heavy Infantry Regiment and the Reed Tomahawk regiment, there was almost no loss.
When the second batch of arrow rain fell, the number of people killed was even limited under the cover of the huge oak shield of the Teutonic heavy infantry.
Then, with the Teutonic heavy infantry regiment as the vanguard, the infantry of the Red Tomahawk regiment was mixed with shouting and rushed towards the 12-company city on the river bank. The two wings of the Xianbei light cavalry supported the cover to prevent the Han cavalry from leaving the city to attack. The cannon fodder slaves followed up and were ready to charge and cover the killing at any time.
Braving the dense rain of arrows from the Han soldiers, the first Thousand-man team of heavy infantry regiment quickly came to the forbidden ditch in front of the river bank.
This forbidden ditch was originally washed by rain and floods, about three meters deep, and now the bottom is full of corpses and blood, but the remaining height of nearly two meters is not something that Teutonic heavy infantry wearing nearly fifty kilograms of heavy armor can easily cross.
However, these Teutonic soldiers were obviously prepared. Hundreds of people in front of them raised shields on the edge of the trench to resist the rain of arrows from the Han soldiers above. Hundreds of people quickly came up behind them, holding wide and thick wooden boards in their hands, and quickly built suggestions on the trench.
Then, the large group of soldiers behind him followed closely and rushed towards Liancheng on the wooden board.
Of course, the Han soldiers on the high platform could not allow the enemy to easily cross the forbidden ditch.
Rolling wood and rocks, and buckets of hot oil were thrown down from Liancheng.
One by one, the Teutonic heavy infantrymen were baptized by the baptism of rolling wood and hot oil.
However, these Teutonic soldiers were obviously not comparable to those of other Western continents' siege troops a few days ago. Seeing their companions tragically die, the soldiers could not see any panic in their eyes, and they did not even use the supervision and urges of the officers beside them to fight. Everyone had a ruthless blood in their eyes, and they kept trying to set up ladders and climbed to the high platform.
Soon, the first Teutonic soldier who climbed up to the city wall waved his broad sword in his hand and slashed at the Han soldiers in front of him.
However, the Teutonic soldier did not succeed. The Han soldier stretched out several spears and poked him to the ground.
But more Teutonic soldiers climbed up, and the twelve cities, six on the left and right, gradually began to experience crises.
"Sir, the commander of the right three cities, Lin Sanqi said that he could not stand it anymore and beg you to send the military and civilians of the reserve team to a regiment." A messenger asked Sima Nandao.
"Bastard, his main group of more than a thousand people can't resist so quickly? Do you still have to prepare the group to push the tank for him? Tell him that unless he dies, I will not send him one more soldier!" Sima Nan roared.
When the battle reached this level, every Han soldier had tried his best. Sima Nan knew that Lin Sanqi was also a brave general of the Fenwu Army. When the Western Allied Forces had just entered the Central and Southern Province, his main group was the first to take over the enemy and the first team to fight with the enemy.
It was in this case that Lin Sanqi's main team's casualties were controlled within 30%, which shows his ability.
However, less than an hour after the war started today, he sent someone to say that he could not stand it, which shows that the enemy's attack today was so strong.
Moreover, today is the first time that the Tomahawk regiment of the Kingdom of Red has contacted the Han soldiers.
In the western section of the mainland highway, the heavy infantry regiment of the Teutonic Principality can be called the first, so if the tomahawk regiment of the Kingdom of Reed would only be under its reputation.
The heavy infantry of the Teutonic Kingdom Heavy Infantry Regiment is tall and strong, with a cold personality, and everyone is a professional soldier.
The predecessor of the Tomahawks in the Kingdom of Reedreid was the Mercenary Corps.
Hundreds of years ago, the Kingdom of Reed and the neighboring Duchy of Slav started war. The Kingdom of Reed valued the navy at that time, and the infantry was extremely weak. Forty thousand infantrymen of the Slav Kingdom drove straight through land and rushed all the way to the capital of the Kingdom of Reed.
At this moment, if the Kingdom Navy was rescued, it would be too late. Helplessly, the Kingdom King issued a conscript order, summoned several mercenaries in the capital, forming a team of less than 10,000 people.
These mercenaries are all people who lick blood on the edge of the knife and have a irritable personality. One of them is a mercenary group called the Battle Axe Group, and everyone uses the Battle Axe Group with several small flying axes on their waists. They can be close or far away.
It was this team of less than 10,000 people who left the city late at night and 40,000 infantrymen who attacked the siege of the Slav Principality were defeated, and the battle axe regiments among them killed countless enemies.
After the war, King Ruidian issued a reward order, and all the Tomahawk regiments and several other mercenary regiments were incorporated into kingdom infantry and established the Tomahawk regiment.
