Under the command of Zhao Sihu, the City Guard Regiment Cavalry Brigade left the city to attack the allied army.
Faced with the ferocious cavalry of Shanhai City, the allied army was on the verge of collapse from the torrent of arrows. With a single charge, the eastern army was torn apart.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
The western army was on high alert. Seeing that the Shanhai City army only attacked the eastern army, they rejoiced.
Ha Ri Chagai felt that his luck had taken a turn for the better.
Allied Army Command Center.
Dai Qin stood on a high platform. Seeing that the Shanhai City army had taken the initiative to attack, he smiled.
Since he dared to let the vanguard attack, how could he not have made preparations? A group of ten thousand cavalrymen had long been prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
Dai Qin was afraid that the enemy would be a coward. Since the enemy dared to leave the city, he was naturally happy. According to his plan, the cavalry would not only rescue the Sky Rat Division and Sky Dog Division, but also attack the enemy.
The only thing that surprised him was that the enemy had chosen the right time to attack.
Dai Qin did not think too much. With a wave of the flag, the cavalry hidden in the barracks shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the eastern battlefield.
The ten thousand soldiers arrived in an instant.
Zhao Sihu was very alert. Moreover, with General Bai Qi's prior instructions, he led his troops to attack the eastern army for a while. Then, he did not linger and immediately stopped. Before the grassland's reinforcements arrived, he returned to the city.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated without a fight, the ten thousand cavalrymen laughed mockingly.
The scene of ten thousand cavalrymen cursing at the bottom of the city wall was spectacular.
On top of the city wall, the soldiers of the City Guard Regiment had ugly expressions, all of them filled with righteous indignation.
Zhao Sihu looked at the scene below and laughed coldly.
If it wasn't for the fact that they had to defend against the Yan Huang Alliance's reinforcements, the three Regiments of Shanhai City would be able to defeat the grassland's allied army. How could they be so arrogant?
Under the protection of the ten thousand cavalrymen, the eastern army finally stabilized.
At this point, the grassland's allied army had finally taken the moat after paying a heavy price.
Seeing that Shanhai City had retreated, Dai Qin shook his head regretfully. He waved the flag again and led the army forward.
Since the moat had been taken, Dai Qin naturally had to move the army camp forward and keep an eye on the moat. This was to prevent Shanhai City from opening the moat again and wasting their efforts.
The mighty army immediately broke camp.
Zhao Sihu stood on top of the city wall and looked at the overwhelming army in silence. He carefully observed the army, trying to see through the enemy's secrets.
Needless to say, there was indeed a strange place.
At the very back of the allied forces, there were actually dozens of large carriages. The cart was covered with sackcloth, and no one knew what it was. It was a little too high to say that it was a heavy load of provisions.
Zhao Sihu did not dare to neglect and informed the guards to report this information to the Commander-in-Chief.
By the time the allied forces set up camp in the north of Shanhai City, it was already sunset.
The moat had been taken over by the allied forces, and the lonely northern city wall had become an isolated island.
That night, the archers of the First Division and the City Guard Division quietly withdrew from the city walls. The crossbowmen of the First Division would set up a second line of defense outside the city, while the City Guard Division would be responsible for defending the Youyi District.
The army of Shanhai City completely abandoned the northern city wall.
Just like that, the first day of the battle ended.
Shanhai City had killed more than 8,000 soldiers from the grassland allied forces without losing a single soldier.
Be it Dai Qin or Bai Qi, they knew very well that this was just an appetizer.
The real battle was about to begin.
The night was as dark as ink, and not a sound could be heard.
In the main camp of the allied forces.
A man in black appeared in Dai Qin's tent.
"Isn't it time for you to make your move?" Dai Qin seemed to be very familiar with the man in black, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
The allied forces had suffered heavy losses on the first day of the battle, and Dai Qin was naturally unhappy.
"Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive soon!" The man in black said expressionlessly.
"When exactly?" Dai Qin was very dissatisfied with the man in black's answer.
"At the most critical moment!" The man in black said nonchalantly, "The most important thing now is to attract the main forces of Shanhai City's army, clear the peripheral obstacles, and create the conditions for the final battle."
"I don't need you to teach me!" Dai Qin's expression was cold. They were fighting to the death on the battlefield, while the other party was hiding behind the scenes and making sarcastic remarks. It was really easy.
"I wish you all the best for victory tomorrow!"
With that, the man in black left the tent and disappeared into the night.
After the man in black left, Dai Qin spat, "Scoundrel!"
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
The sun shone on the vast land of Lianzhou Basin, but it did not bring any warmth to the people.
War was always this merciless.
Because of the war, the farmers outside the city could not farm normally, and the workshops in the city were not in the mood to open for business. The people were on tenterhooks, asking each other for news, afraid that they would wake up and become prisoners.
"Did you hear? The enemy has taken over the moat yesterday!"
"The grassland barbarians are so cruel!"
Among the vast crowd, the expressions of the survivors of the Tianfeng Tribe changed, and it was hard to tell what they were thinking.
They exchanged looks of excitement and nervousness.
On the tall buildings on both sides, two spies from the Military Intelligence Department were like calm hunters, staring at their prey.
The calm Shanhai City was actually surging with undercurrents.
Every time there was a war, the dark side of society would be exposed.
The discussion of the people naturally could not stop the rhythm of the war.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the war began.
Dai Qin led 12,000 soldiers to the Northern Military Camp and monitored the Friendship District.
The remaining 30,000 soldiers split into two groups, bypassing the northern city wall and heading straight for Shanhai City.
The western group was led by Lakeshon, while the eastern group was led by Xiri Gou Lige.
The eastern and western groups were like a pair of pincers, deeply embedded into Shanhai City.
At this time, apart from the buildings, all valuables in the outer city of Shanhai City had long been moved to the inner city.
Lakeshon led his troops into the outer city, and the scene in front of him left him dumbfounded.
In the empty space outside the city, a large number of barricades and arrow towers were densely arranged. Especially on both sides of the bridge that crossed the river to Qiushui City and Shanhai City, there were even more arrow towers.
Apart from that, there were also many caltrops scattered on the ground. It was truly sinister.
Whether it was the barricades or the caltrops, they were all war resources that the Combat Readiness Department had prepared for a long time. The role of a powerful military industry in war was undoubtedly evident.
Not only that, but the bridge was also heavily guarded. On the bridge to Qiushui City, a group of cavalry was waiting in formation, and the military flag was raised. It was the cavalry of the Second Division.
On the bridge to Shanhai City, the sword and shield soldiers of the First Battalion of the First Brigade of the First Division were waiting in formation.
Bai Qi's strategy was very simple. Before the enemy's trump card was revealed, the Shanhai City army would try their best to avoid a battle to the death. They would rely on the terrain to deplete the Allied Army's strength as their number one priority.
Even if the battle was a little ugly, as long as it was effective, Bai Qi did not care.
Lakeshon's scalp went numb, and he felt like he did not know where to start.
"General, what should we do?" His adjutant also looked helpless.
Lakeshon's face darkened, and he yelled, "What else can we do? Do nothing! "
If they did not clear these obstacles, the cavalry would not be able to move an inch.
Helpless, the Allied Army could only send out suicide teams to clear the barricades and caltrops to clear the way for the army.
Along the way, there were tears of blood and tears of blood.
The Shanhai City archers stood on the arrow towers and looked down at the suicide teams from above. The effect was shocking. The Grassland Allied Army could only shoot a few arrows from their warhorses to vent their frustration.
What was worse was that before the suicide teams could clear the foot of the arrow towers, the archers hiding on the arrow towers had already retreated and escaped. They could not do anything about it.
Lakeshon stomped his feet when he saw this and cursed. How could they fight in such a shameless manner?!
When Dai Qin, who was overseeing the army in the center, received the news, his face darkened. He finally understood what the man in black meant when he said to clear the obstacles last night.
Those damned scoundrels. They had already received the information, but they used them as weapons.
Dai Qin was depressed, and his face was gloomy.
Dai Qin's reaction was transmitted to the Eastern and Western Armies. Lakeshon and Xirigou Lige's hearts trembled. They thought that the Commander was dissatisfied with their speed of advancement.
Helpless, the two of them could only grit their teeth and send more suicide teams to clear the obstacles.
For the entire morning, the dare-to-die squads came in wave after wave.
Around noon, the obstacles at the Friendship River and the Qiushui River were finally cleared.
In just one morning, the Allied Army had lost another 4,000 men.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Lakeshon asked Dai Qin if they should continue clearing the obstacles on the other side of the river or take advantage of the situation to surround the Friendship River District.
The news he received was that they had to take the bridge.
Dai Qin was also very helpless. He also wanted to immediately surround the Friendship River District.
However, if they did not take the bridge, the traffic between the three cities would be blocked. When they surrounded the Friendship River District, they could be ambushed by the army of Shanhai City at any time.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the intense battle for the bridge officially began.
This was the first time the Grassland Allied Army and the army of Shanhai City faced each other head-on. As soon as it began, the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
A single bridge could not accommodate too many troops.
On the bridge, which was not wide, the soldiers of both sides fought each other, their eyes bloodshot.
In less than half an hour, the bridge was filled with corpses. Blood flowed along the cracks between the stone slabs, dyeing the bridge red. It was an exceptionally beautiful sight.
Towards the end of the battle, in order to make room for combat, the soldiers had no choice but to throw the corpses of the soldiers who had died in battle under the bridge. The corpses were thrown into the river and floated in a dense mass. It was like purgatory.
In addition to the battle on the bridge, the two sides also used the arrow towers to shoot at each other across the river.
The battle cries made the people in the city tremble with fear.
Until four o 'clock in the afternoon, under the relentless attacks of the Grassland Allied Army, the army of Shanhai City took advantage of the situation and retreated. The two bridges were lost one after another and were completely taken by the Allied Army.
The battle began to turn in the direction of the Allied Army.
As for the truth of the battle? Everything is still unknown. (To be continued.)
