Volume 12 Qianqiu Achievement Needs Hundred Battles Chapter 1222 Cruelty
On this day, Yulin's important town in Fengzhou, inside and outside the city, there were loud killings.
From time to time, fireheads emerged from the city, and thick smoke rolled upwards and filled the sky. It was either the grassland soldiers burning their houses and dismantling the resistance of the defenders, or the defenders set fires themselves and hindering the enemy's advance.
The defenders of Fengzhou City are worthy of being the elite of the Left-Chang Army of the Western Xia. Their resistance was unexpectedly determined and stubborn. The south city gate was lost, and then the east city gate was also taken down, but they held the north gate and the west gate, resisting stubbornly. From morning to night, they fought with the grassland soldiers in the streets and alleys, and took advantage of their slight advantages in their forces to drag the grassland tribe army firmly into Fengzhou City.
Brutal street fighting is a situation that both the offense and the defense are least willing to see in any era. For both the offense and the defense, at this point, there will often be no winners in the end.
The troops were dispersed in street fighting. Under the repeated struggles in the most cruel and fierce places of the war, every step forward seemed to have to pay an unimaginable price.
Blood flows freely in Fengzhou City, and fires shine in Fengzhou City, screams, shouts of killing, neighing of war horses, impact of weapons, and whistling arrows, mixed together to form a wild and cruel movement, a unique movement of war.
The casualties are increasing, the grassland soldiers are red in their eyes, and the Xixia defenders are already crazy and unable to do so.
At this time, the war fell into a headache-inducing stalemate. Whether it is moving forward or retreating, countless lives have to be paid at the price...
It was not until the evening that the city of Fengzhou gradually became quieter. After the night fell, the tired soldiers finally fell down, both morale and murderous aura, and gradually gathered together amid the shouts of the officers. They began to retreat tacitly, each burying their own pots to cook and trim them.
During this battle, the casualties between the two sides fought fiercely, and their respective advantages and disadvantages were exposed.
The fearlessness of the grassland warriors and their precise archery skills often give them a certain advantage in the battle for the streets and alleys.
But to be honest, this is not the combat method that grassland warriors are best at. In the narrow streets, their most proud cavalry skills are restricted to death, which is also the main reason why they cannot quickly seize the city.
In another time and space, falling into such a situation is one of the best ways to hold the Iron Cavalry of the Grassland and cause effective damage to them. Of course, this requires the defenders to show great courage. You must know that once the city is broken and let the enemy kill into the city, it often means the loss of a city.
Under such circumstances, most defenders will collapse instantly. With the great boost of the enemy's morale, they will flee in all directions and cannot make effective resistance at all, let alone street fighting.
But like the current battle in Fengzhou, we walked in another direction, and the entire Fengzhou city became a battlefield. The defenders resisted stubbornly, but they caused casualties to the enemy beyond their expectations.
Compared with the grassland tribal cavalry, the advantages and disadvantages of the Xixia people are actually more obvious.
In street fighting, they can often arrange neat arrays and cooperate tacitly, so that they can often have a clear advantage at the beginning, allowing the scattered grassland warriors to rush over to divide and kill. What’s ridiculous is that in the eyes of the Han people, the Hu army in the Western Xia used serious Han tactics, and there were also many Han soldiers in the army.
But their shortcomings are equally prominent. Once they are shot by archers with accurate archery skills, they will definitely cause chaos. When their array is dispersed, the defenders will become headless flies and be chopped down to the ground one by one by the fierce prairie warriors.
In fact, in essence, it is a contest between Han and Hu, but what makes people feel strange is that these so-called Hu people came here to fight under the enlistment of Qin people.
But the side that looked very much like the Han people was under the command of the serious Xixia Dangxiang Qiang people. This was the sadness of the Han people, but the Hu people had nothing to be proud of.
But there are not so many reasons for war. People on the battlefield cannot think of those profound problems. Whether for survival or victory, they need to exert courage and blood in exchange.
It doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong, and whether it is right or wrong, war is always so cruel and cold. Only the winners have the power to speak, and only the winners represent the so-called justice.
This is the essence of war. The strong prey on the weak, the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy, is never like this.
However, no matter how much I say, the resistance of the Xixia people was tenacious. At this time, the fall of Fengzhou was actually inevitable. The resistance of the defenders was more like a dying struggle.
The laws of war cannot be changed no matter how much courage you put into it.
The strong city was broken, and the attacking side naturally had an advantage that was incomparable to the defenders...
A night that was not calm passed, and Raoer Hanmu Huali, the commander of the grassland tribe, finally ordered to search the people in the city, drive forward, seize Fengzhou as soon as possible, and promised the generals of each tribe that after capturing Fengzhou, they could plunder for a day, and they could not help but kill, and all the plundered belonged to each tribe.
In fact, this is the order to massacre the city. After this order, Fengzhou is already doomed.
This order completely released the animal nature of the grassland warriors he had been suppressing. Plunder and killing have always been the theme of grassland warfare.
After heading south, Mu Huali still gathered the reins of the grassland units, but in Fengzhou, he finally let go, and he had to do so, because in one day, there were nearly 3,000 casualties, and nearly six thousand-man teams were lost in the previous war.
Only then did he arrive in Fengzhou, he was still far from the decisive battle with the main force of the Xixia Left-Chang Army. If this continues, he will not be able to fulfill his promise to the general... Thinking about the general's anger, he was ashamed, and he felt a chill on his back, so he could not care about so much.
This will make the morale of each department immediately boost.
The sky had just turned bright, and the city of Fengzhou was boiling like water rolling out. The vicious grassland soldiers broke into the houses and drove out the people of the south and east city, regardless of age, young, women and children, like cattle and sheep, and used them as their vanguards to rush towards the streets occupied by the Xixia people.
For a moment, the sound of crying and calling for my parents in Fengzhou City was loudly heard. The defenders were at a loss for advance and retreat, and were at a loss. As long as they became soft, they were quickly rushed backwards by the people who were coming over, and eventually mixed with the people, and could no longer form effective resistance. They were defeated one by one by one by the grassland soldiers flocking behind.
Some people were also cold-hearted and killed all the people who came over, but the morale of the soldiers gradually collapsed in such killings, and could no longer stop the prairie barbarians who came over with red eyes. The streets and alleys were covered with corpses and blood flowed. The entire Fengzhou City was completely turned into hell.
The Xicheng Gate was lost, the Beicheng Gate was lost, the city gates on all sides of Fengzhou were wide open, and the grassland cavalry outside the city rumbled in. The resistance of the Xixia people was quickly extinguished, and the defenders everywhere were divided and surrounded, either killed or surrendered. However, at this time, the grassland people with red eyes could no longer tolerate any surrender and captives.
The entire Fengzhou City is soaked in blood and fire...
Fengzhou garrison Ren Duoleming led the remaining 2,000 people to retreat to the inner city, but it was useless. After only a little struggle, he was defeated by the grassland army surrounded by all sides, and surrounded him firmly in his mansion.
When the bloody grassland warriors swarmed into their mansion, Ren Duoleming led his personal guards and had killed his young son and two favored concubines in the mansion. He had already lost an arm. Ren Duoleming, who was covered with blood, led his personal guards to fight with the enemy again. He was cut into flesh mud by the besieged grassland warriors.
Deputy General Huanliang led his army to break through and was surrounded by Fengzhou East Gate. He led his army to fight to the death and was captured with great strength. Maluo Huain supported himself and came to Mu Huali to plead for him. However, when Huanliang saw Maluo Huain, he cursed and sweared to never surrender. In the end, his body and head were different. He thought about his courage, no matter how fierce the Ren was, Huanliang, and the Xixia generals and soldiers who died in battle, were buried outside Fengzhou City together...
In the Battle of Fengzhou, only the defenders and general Ma Sheng saw that they were not allowed. He took advantage of the night and quietly took a few guards to slide down from the corner of the city wall of Xicheng, and then detoured through the east gate, escaped and survived. The remaining Fengzhou defenders in Xixia were almost wiped out. This battle can be said to be one of the most fierce resistances of the Xixia defenders since the grassland tribe headed south.
The bravery and fierce generals of the various divisions of the Dangxiang were not inferior to those of other warriors of all races. After this battle, the elite unit of the Xixia Zuoxiang Army Commander took charge of the horse farm for the Xixia. The Fengzhou defenders who repeatedly conquered Hedong disappeared and no longer existed in the world.
It was already midsummer, and Mu Huali then ordered to take Fengzhou's food and grass and weapons for the use of the army, and then a large plunder was sacked for a day.
The various tragic phenomena during this period do not need to be described in detail. When the army set off to continue to move south, in order to prevent the plague, the fire of Fengzhou City soared into the sky, and it burned for three days, and completely turned Fengzhou City into ruins.
In this battle, nearly 100,000 people in Fengzhou City turned into evil spirits and wild ghosts in just a few days. None of them survived. Then they scattered all over Yulin, and the brutal acts of the grassland tribes were rumored...
