Chapter 475: Fierce Battle at Zhenjiang Fort (2)(2/2)
No matter whether they lived or died, treating them as cannon fodder was very resentful. In the end, they didn't even care about collecting the bodies and burying them.
Hadamba gasped and stared blankly. There was Gergen's body there, and there should be other tribesmen, all of whom would be decapitated and left violently dead in the snow.
He is the lucky one, but how long can this luck last? The next attack should be the work of cannon fodder like them.
Turning his head to look at the camp in the distance, Hadamba gritted his teeth. Likewise, he saw several familiar faces, all with gloomy and resentful expressions.
When the pressure reaches the extreme, it will either collapse or rebound. There are only two outcomes.
The result of collapse is to obey orders, lose your own thinking, and lose the courage to resist; if you want to rebound, you must do it at the right time.
The four thousand siege troops suffered heavy casualties under the overwhelming attack, and only about a thousand people escaped.
Moreover, this was even when the defenders did not use their full strength. Relying on the city, the defenders' casualties were very small. If compared, the disparity was huge.
Of course, for attacking a fortified city, as long as the defender is determined, the casualty ratio between the attacker and defender should be very high, and it is not too unusual.
However, in a short period of time, the defenders of Zhenjiang Fort had already displayed sharp and fierce firepower, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. This greatly frightened the Jianlu and made them dare not spend any more troops.
This is also the goal that the Dongjiang Army wants to achieve, to prevent the enemy from attacking by force, but they have to monitor and defend the defenders in the city to ensure a safe way out.
If there are too few troops left, the defenders and peripheral friendly forces can attack from inside and outside and break through Jianlu's camp; if there are too many troops left, Jianlu's troops entering North Korea will be insufficient, and they will also suffer a heavy blow.
