Three Kingdoms

The Western Region Allied Forces just have a lot of people.

Therefore, Taksa's strategy is "more people".

Menghua initially thought that killing so many people in the Western Region Allied Forces was already a good effect, but he soon discovered that he was wrong. More people were swarming in the Western Regions Allied Forces.

Although the initial attack was defeated, the Western Region Allied Forces immediately dispatched more people.

This was actually a blow to the Han army.

Having more people is indeed an advantage.

More loose herdsmen, more archers, more elite warriors mixed in the queue...

『@#\u0026! This is going to be a waste..."

Menghua stood on the high platform of the military camp, looking at the Western Region Allied Forces surging in the distance like ants, and a slightly weird idea suddenly came to his mind. While he was a little worried and scared, he seemed to be a little excited. , if this military stronghold can withstand most of the coalition attacks, does it mean that the Western Regions will never dare to talk about rebellion from now on?

In other words, at least until this memory dissipates in the minds of the people of the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions will not dare to use weapons anymore?

He suddenly had a deeper understanding of the overall strategy of the Western Regions, understood why Zhang Liao wanted to defend this military stronghold, and also understood some other issues that he had not considered before.

The Han Dynasty has never controlled the Western Regions. Although there is a Protectorate of the Western Regions in name, in fact the Protectorate of the Western Regions is more like an expatriate colonial military government. Most of the time it just collects money and spends it. Except for that Except for a few people with extraordinary abilities and powerful tactics, the rest of the Protectorate Protectors are basically just hanging around.

Being able to mix in the officialdom is also a skill in itself, but this skill cannot bring direct benefits to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, in the historical records of the Han Dynasty, when a few people were in power, it is noted that the Western Regions brought Gain, at other times, it’s not the Spring and Autumn writing style, but there’s really nothing to write about.

One or two people, for a country as big as Han Dynasty, plus three to four hundred years...

And now Lu Bu, the Protector of the Western Regions, is he a qualified Protector?

What should a qualified guardian look like?

Meng Hua swallowed his saliva, and he vaguely ascended from the thinking of a captain to the level of a general. From a purely military perspective, he began to touch on higher-level issues. It's just that he hasn't answered these thoughts yet. Maybe that day he really thought through these questions on his own, and then he will definitely increase his political value.

The battle for the outer wall of the military camp has begun.

Li Si cut off the head of the Western Region Allied soldier who had just popped up with a knife, and blood spurted out with a pop. The headless corpse seemed to pause in the air for a few seconds. It was not known that it was climbing up before the strong executor was alive. Although he was still unwilling to fall into the boundless hell, he finally fell down and brought down another Western Region Allied soldier along the way.

Rolling stones and knocking trees, arrows and crossbows falling one after another.

These soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces, or the herdsmen of the Western Region who could barely be called soldiers, screamed and rolled back to their original starting position from the top of the slope, alive, dead, or injured.

After the initial panic, the Han soldiers in the military camp, under the leadership of Li Si, began to return to at least normal levels of training. The soldiers of the Western Region Alliance Army formed by ordinary herdsmen most of the time just attract firepower and cannot cause much damage to the Han soldiers. Of course, it is inevitable that individual Han soldiers will be killed and injured occasionally.

The direct casualties caused to the Han soldiers were mostly from the Kushan soldiers and some elite soldiers from various states in the Western Regions. Although the countries in the Western Regions are large and small, they have not stopped fighting during the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. Among these Western Regions, there are indeed many elite warriors who are good at all kinds of battles. skills, and also brought a lot of trouble to the Han soldiers in the military camp.

These elite warriors from the Western Region countries were mixed in with the ordinary Western Region herdsmen. If they were not careful, they might be fooled. When the Han soldiers thought they were ordinary herdsmen, these guys suddenly launched an attack, catching the Han soldiers off guard. .

It was as if there was a group of such warriors from the country, mixed in with the crowd, and when they reached the bottom of the military stronghold, they suddenly grabbed a ladder, and in a blink of an eye, they climbed up the outer wall of the military stronghold and started hand-to-hand combat with the Han soldiers.

At the same time, the archers of the Western Region Allied Forces were also struggling to suppress the inner and outer walls of the military stronghold. Missing arrows fell like raindrops, suppressing the archers on the inner walls so that they could not come forward to support the outer walls of the military stronghold.

Some archers on the inner wall tried to assist the outer wall as much as possible, but the rain of arrows from the archers of the Western Region Alliance Army was so dense that some archers were shot and killed as soon as they were exposed. Although the support for the outer wall was not finally given up, only the archers on the high platforms on both sides were beyond the shooting range of the ordinary Western Region coalition archers down the slope, and could more or less support the outer wall with some firepower.

However, the archers on the high platform of the military stronghold still have to be careful not to expose themselves too much, otherwise they will be targeted by the eagle shooters hidden in the Western Region Allied Forces. Several archers had been shot before and fell from the high platform screaming.

On the outer wall in the main direction of attack, the siege battle has entered a fever pitch.

Arrows were flying randomly in the air, falling stones and logs were jumping, and the cold light of swords and guns faced the wind.

Corpses and wounded soldiers were scattered all over the outer walls and slopes of the military camp.

The whines of the injured soldiers were mixed with the sounds of fighting, which seemed particularly harsh.

Taksa's sheep attack was very realistic. A large group of 500 soldiers was divided into ten queues, taking turns to attack the military stronghold. At the same time, there was also pressure and support from archers, so that in the fourth wave, some warriors from various countries mixed with ordinary herdsmen boarded the outer wall.

Fortunately, after these warriors climbed up the outer wall, most of the archers below the military camp adjusted their targets to suppress the inner wall because they were afraid of being injured by arrows. This gave Li Si and others some breathing space. .

As soon as a warrior from the country took out one leg and was about to step on the outer wall of the military stronghold, he was slashed at the ankle by a Han army from one side. He screamed and fell down. Another Bangguo warrior saw his companion falling from the air, howling, and jumped up to the military camp. Before the Han soldier stabbed his own chest with a spear, he aimed at the throat of the Han soldier in front of him. Got the sword.

The warrior of the country fell down the military stronghold with his long spear, and the Han soldier covered his neck, opened his eyes wide, knelt on the ground, made a few loud noises, and then died.

Li Si held up the sword of the charging warrior, and then kicked the opponent's calf bone. The cowhide boots covered with iron plates almost broke the opponent's calf in half, causing the opponent to scream in agony and his body twisted. He fell down and was immediately slashed on the shoulder and neck by Li Si, killing him immediately.

After getting a moment to breathe, Li Si shouted with all his strength to the mangled place on the high platform: "Support!" We need to support..."

Menghua remained silent and did not issue any orders.

The outer wall is indeed more difficult now, and the casualties are relatively high, but it is not completely unsupportable. Even if the outer wall is really dangerous, a counterattack can be organized directly from the inner wall. The key is that the archers in the Western Regions are still losing a lot of arrows, so he did not immediately order the use of reserve troops to support Li Si on the outer wall.

Because of Menghua, he saw that the Western Region Allied Forces below the slope seemed to have made some extra moves...

Menghua made no move, but after all, Li Si was originally the commander of the military stronghold, and a commander who had some friendship with him was on the inner wall. He saw Li Si with blood on his face and body shouting for reinforcements. Unable to hold back, he grabbed a shield and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill!" Support our brothers! 』

Shi Chang howled and rushed out of the hiding place of the inner wall, trying to reach the outer wall along the connecting passage between the inner wall and the outer wall. He held the shield high and charged forward with indomitable momentum. Behind Shi Chang, his subordinate soldiers roared angrily, and rushed out of their original hiding spot, following him closely, and flew away. Down.

Almost instantly, the archers of the Western Region Alliance Army below noticed Chang's move, and instinctively shot the arrow in that direction without thinking!

Shields are not omnipotent. Even shields with 100% blocking properties in the game are only in the direction facing the shield. As for other directions...

The arrow whistled, and soon struck the shield held high by Shi Chang, and also struck his body.

Shi's long and strong body shook, but he did not stop and still ran forward tenaciously with the shield on his head, but soon more arrows missed and pierced his body. He stubbornly wanted to move forward, but was driven backwards by more missing arrows...

Li Si was stunned.

Calling for support was his instinctive reaction, just like calling for the support of his partners when he encountered danger. However, he did not expect that his call would put his friends and partners in danger!

He saw the soldiers following the commanders fall down one after another, and then howled in pain.

Yishi's soldiers were unable to charge forward under the dense rain of arrows. Except for the last few slower soldiers who fled back to the hiding place of the inner wall, the remaining seven or eight soldiers were charged in fearlessly. , died needlessly.

Li Si burst into tears and waved his hands, as if to express that he wanted those people to go back, but...

Meng Hua sighed and refrained from swearing. Instead, he called the guards and said, "Go on, everyone must obey the military order!" Don’t act recklessly! 』

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions want to consume the soldiers of the Han army stronghold, and if people like those who just rushed down to die without taking any precautions, no matter how many soldiers they have, they will not be enough to consume.

Faced with the obvious attrition strategy in the Western Regions, we should make careful calculations rather than fight haphazardly!

The guards agreed repeatedly, and then immediately ran down the high platform and went to deliver orders everywhere.

The enemies on the outer wall surged up again, and more people were involved in the conflict of blood and iron. Fortunately, the archers of the Western Region Allied Forces who suppressed the Han army no longer aimed at the outer wall to shoot in order to prevent accidental injuries. Blindly suppress the inner wall and block the connection channel between the inner wall and the outer wall. As a result, more and more arrows were missing from the corpses of the soldiers lying on the passages of the inner and outer walls, and they were pierced like porcupines.

Li Si's hands and feet were already weak.

After he took a blow from the enemy forcefully, he felt for the first time that he was powerless. He staggered back from the shock and leaned against the wall of the military camp, breathing heavily. He saw his comrade being chopped down by the enemy not far in front of him, but he just didn't have the strength to raise the knife or rush over to save him. He couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a silent cry...

Fortunately, a dozen soldiers on the side rushed forward and pushed back the enemy again.

The sound of bull horns, the sound of war drums, the sound of fighting, and the screams resounded throughout the world and shook the sky.

Far away in the military camp, Taksa stared straight at him, feeling a little toothache.

Although he had already made plans in his mind for attrition, involvement, sheep attacks, etc., after the attack actually started, looking at the casualties of the Western Region Allied Forces, he couldn't help but feel a headache, toothache, and chest pain.

It's not that Taksa has any special feelings for these cannon fodder of the Western Region Allied Forces, but he knows that even though the Western Region Allied Forces seem to be extremely fanatical now, shouting about Buddha and just rushing up, but when they really retreat, After calming down, seeing so many casualties will inevitably produce other emotions.

Emotions last forever...

Taksa looked up at the sky, and then said in a deep voice: "Blow the trumpet and let them take action!" 』

The sound of huge horns slowly resounded throughout the battlefield.

The "knife" that was originally hiding behind the sheep attacking troops in front of the coalition forces finally came out and rushed towards the rear of the military stronghold.

This batch of coalition troops was divided into three parts. The first part was used to fill the holes.

The slope behind the military stronghold is relatively large. Normally, men and horses cannot run directly on the slope, so they need to deal with this slope first, which is to solve this problem with the dirt bags that Taksa had people dig quietly before. After the first wave of people packed the soil and paved the slope to a certain buffer angle, the second wave of people came up.

The second wave will be the warriors drawn from various countries, as well as most of the archers who were in front of the military camp. These national warriors will be equipped with a certain amount of armor, and the focus of the battle is to ensure the success of the ladder. Those archers will be responsible for suppressing the soldiers of the Han army's rear stronghold, giving their side time to charge up the city wall.

The third wave is the real attackers. Each of them is a specially selected hero. They have not shown up before. Each one is provided with good wine and meat first, in order to show their complete combat effectiveness at this time.

The plan was good and the execution went well in the beginning.

There is no problem in a small-scale sheep attack, with waves of 500 people, but when it expands to more people, problems arise. In the first group of people, they charge forward on horseback with dirtbags. The effect was very good at first, but when it was implemented, well, when it was implemented, there were some deviations.

The order was issued and everyone went up together, but when they arrived at the bottom of the hillside, there was no pre-arranged regulations, or even if there were some regulations before, it was expected that these herdsmen and cavalry could understand and implement them clearly. ?

As a result, what Taksa originally thought could be accomplished in a short period of time, like the AI ​​in a real-time strategy game that was not done well and soldiers and tanks were crowded together, could actually get stuck on the ground!

Although there is a steep slope behind the military camp, there is flat land below the steep slope!

Although this chaos is not fatal, it has greatly slowed down the suddenness of Taksa's attack, and the second wave of troops who followed had to wait until the congestion of the herdsmen and cavalry in the first wave eased before they could approach. Below the steep slope.

Moreover, the chaos and disorder of the herdsmen cavalry was not only reflected in the self-congestion on the plains, but also in the placement of those mud bags.

Everyone knows that mud bags should be stacked to create a relatively open and gentle attack route. Taksa understands this, and the leaders of various states also understand it, and then they think that their herdsmen can also understand it, but In fact, when these herdsmen threw these bags of dirt, some threw them out too early, some threw them out, and some missed them...

On-site command? There is a conductor on site. But what else can those commanders do besides shouting "Hurry up this way, hurry up over there"?

The herdsmen indeed received the Buddha's "inspiration", but they did not say that there was any systematic blessing immediately. Then everyone's attributes increased and they were upgraded on the spot. In addition, some people were inevitably nervous, with numb hands and feet, etc., making the originally perfect There were various loopholes in the plan from the beginning. So when the second part of the Western Region Allied Forces rushed up, they had to wipe the butt of the first batch of people, because if they didn't make some adjustments and re-laying of the mud bags, how could they build an offensive platform?

At this time, the Han soldiers behind the military stronghold also came to their senses and began to shoot condescendingly at the coalition soldiers behind the military stronghold.

At this time, the archers from the Western Regions who rushed over to provide support were somewhat unlucky...

Don't look at the time in front of the military stronghold. The archers from the Western Regions suppressed the outer and inner walls of the military stronghold. However, when they waited for their bows and arrows to move around from the front to the back, they were stuck, so they were delayed. He failed to enter the fighting position, so that he was suppressed and beaten by the Han army archers from the beginning. Before he entered the shooting range of his side, the coalition archers were shot down one after another.

Blood splattered and screams were heard. The protection of the coalition archers was average. Originally, they relied on the large number of people to get the upper hand to form a suppressive force. But now that the Han archers have taken the lead, naturally they They suffered a big loss, and the previous suppression of the outer and inner walls of the military stronghold actually consumed a lot of physical endurance, so morale collapsed very quickly. If there were not warriors from various countries holding down the battle, it would be impossible to say that they would have died on the spot. Will collapse!

The first part was not done well, which led to the second part not going smoothly. Then when the third part of the coalition rushed up, they discovered that they could not follow the gentle slope built as originally planned, and then in one breath Rush up to the back wall of the military camp!

Not to mention the bumpy slopes made of mud, the ladders were also crooked, and the archers were unable to provide effective support. Instead, the Han archers were allowed to shoot down unscrupulously!

Why did the originally good plan turn into this? !

They knew there was a problem, but because of the slowness and redundancy of the command system of the Western Region countries, the warriors of these Western Region countries could not directly receive the fastest changes in orders, and could only continue to rush forward according to the plan...
