Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 354 Defeat
The siege in half a month was very violent, the mighty Marquis almost didn't give the Taiping army a chance to breathe, he attacked the city every day without a day's rest, and there were endless tricks.

The Taiping Army in Guangyang County, except for the [-] foundations, the other [-] are all patchwork. The combat effectiveness is not strong, so how can they adapt to long-term battles.

Under the continuous offensive of the Shu army, although the Taiping army withstood waves of attacks, they also suffered heavy losses, resulting in low morale.

The Shu army is the attacking side, and the Taiping army is the defending side. When it comes to the losses of the army, the Shu army is no worse than the Taiping army, and even higher.

Speaking of this, I have to complain about the incompetence of the Taiping Army. The casualty ratio between the siege and the defending side must be at least one to five to be considered normal. However, the casualty ratio between the Shu Army and the Taiping Army is as high as A heinous two to one.

Although the number of deaths in the Shu army was twice that of the Taiping army, they were well-trained elite soldiers. Even though the casualty rate was high, their morale was not hit too much, but the Taiping army did not.

After half a month of fierce fighting, the casualties on Taiping Road have reached 3 people, and the Taiping Army really can't hold on anymore.

On the contrary, the army of the Shu Kingdom suffered more than 5 casualties. Although morale suffered a small blow, it did not suffer heavy losses and could still fight on.

Once again he rode his horse and stood under the city wall of Guangyang County. Marquis Mighty looked at the vast city wall in front of him. Within half a month, a lot of blood was left on the city wall, and he smiled coldly.

"Today, I will definitely destroy Guangyang County."

Looking at the neatly arranged Taiping Army in Guangyang County, Mighty Marquis said coldly.

During half a month of fighting, Marquis Mighty Wu had already seen that the morale of the Taiping Army was gradually declining. At this moment, it had already dropped to a certain level, and it was a good time for a general attack.

"Siege!"

After the mighty Marquis gave an order, all the Shu army lined up at the bottom of the city rushed towards the top of the city with a shout, and the sound of fighting went straight to the sky.

Today, the Shu army lined up under the city is nearly half smaller than before, and it can be seen that the number of square formations is much smaller.

It turned out that nearly half of the [-] troops of the Shu army had died after half a month of fighting, and only [-] were left.

However, even the [-] troops are still very sharp, and their morale has risen instead of falling, and even, it has a little tragic meaning.

The army attacked the city, and all kinds of siege equipment came out. The power of the attack seemed to be more ferocious than before, making it difficult for the Taiping army to resist.

This kind of battle has been going on for half a month, and the Taiping army has become numb, but numbness does not mean that they can deal with it indifferently.

Under the tyrannical attack of the Shu army, the morale of the Taiping army further declined, and it was very difficult to withstand the step-by-step attacks of the Shu army.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the fierce battle below, Zhao Ji's heart was full of worries. If the battle goes on like this, it won't take long for Guangyang County to really lose its hold.

Thinking this way in his heart, watching the more fierce fighting in the city and the city, Zhao Ji suddenly felt that this is very meaningless, really meaningless.

With such an idea in mind, looking at the battle between the Taiping army and the Shu army, Zhao Ji suddenly felt that it was so meaningless, even he himself didn't know what he was doing.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, the Taiping army on the city wall really began to be defeated. On the siege ladder, more and more Shu troops climbed up.

A soldier from the Kingdom of Shu came up. If before, the Taiping Army had already killed the Shu Army, but at this moment, the Taiping Army was too tired and its morale was also greatly low. How could it be the opponent of the army of the Kingdom of Shu.

More and more Shu troops went up to the city wall, and the Taiping army was retreating steadily and lost to the enemy. Even if the Taiping army invested a lot of masters, they could not save the defeat.

The battle of large armies is not a contest of masters after all, no matter how strong a master's martial arts skills are, but the number of people is small, how can he be an opponent of an army of tens of thousands.

In the Taiping Army, there are a few strong men in the Dao Accumulation Realm, but no matter how strong the Dao Accumulation Realm is, how many people can be killed by one person.

Moreover, among the army of the Kingdom of Shu, there are still many powerful innate warriors. After forming a battle formation, although their strength is not as strong as that of the Yundao Realm, it is still no problem to entangle them for a while.

More and more Shu army rushed to the top of the city, moving neatly and uniformly, and after seeing the dawn of victory, they made more powerful moves.

At this time, it can be said that Guangyang County has reached a critical moment, as long as it strengthens a little more, it will be easy to break Guangyang County.

"Old Ancestor, please make a move."

Liu Xiao knelt in front of Zhang Jiao and begged.

Zhang Jiao's expression was indifferent, and said: "Liu Xiao, you want me to attack and kill the enemy army, but does it make any sense? Your own strength is not strong, so it doesn't make much sense to always think of me to attack."

Liu Xiao argued: "But, Patriarch, it's just that the time we occupied Guangyang County is too short. As long as you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to train a group of powerful troops. At that time, with this army The army is at the center, attacking cities everywhere, and the people of the Taiping Dao in the world will definitely respond in groups, and the world can look forward to it."

When he said these words, Liu Xiao looked a little excited, with anticipation in his eyes. It seemed that he really believed in the scene he had painted.

Zhang Jiao didn't want to make a move at first, but Liu Xiao kept pestering him. Moreover, after hearing this, Zhang Jiao felt that it made sense, so he finally decided to make a move.

When Zhang Jiao's figure was suspended in the air, he saw that on the four walls of Guangyang County, the Taiping Army and the Shu Army occupied half of the territory, and the Taiping Army was still retreating steadily. The trend made him shake his head slightly.

However, when he cast his eyes on a city wall and saw half of the city wall, thousands of soldiers guarded the city, formed a battle formation, and fought with the enemy.

That army was the military discipline battalion under Zhao Ji's command. After half a month's battle, the military discipline battalion also suffered heavy losses. Although it lost slightly less people than other battalions, there were only less than 8000 people left.

The attack of the Shu army is getting more and more fierce. Now, the Taiping army can't even keep the reserve army. There are [-] miscellaneous troops, no, now there are only less than [-] troops left, and they are all forced to go to the top of the city to fight against the enemy. fight.

In this way, Zhao Ji's military discipline battalion was responsible for half of the city wall, so that the troops were not so tense, so that this section of the city wall could be defended well, and there was no retreat.
