Chapter 661: The Wolf Army

Austin City became a nightmare for the Red Turban Army. In the first round of attacks alone, they lost a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people. This was a major loss they had never encountered before. The bodies were piled up in the wilderness, and blood gathered into a stream, but they had never even climbed the city wall.

The red scarf soldier, who was bleeding from Austin, had to retreat and rest. The huge casualties caused the originally high morale to fall sharply, and the continuous rain and food shortages made the heart of the Northern King Wu Tiance shrouded a layer of haze.

"How long can our food and grass last?" In the military tent, Wu Tiance's face was so gloomy, but his whole body revealed a deep sense of fatigue.

The staff member whispered: "In addition to our elite Wolf Army directly under the jurisdiction of the country, there is only one day to store grain, and many of them have already lost food."

Food has always been a major problem that plagued the Red Turban Army. They did not have a stable logistics base. The strategy of fighting to support the war made them constantly conquer cities and lands so that they could not be hungry. However, Lin Chuan's solid walls and clear fields and Austin could not conquer the food crisis, which put the Red Turban Army, which reached 300,000 people, in the danger of division.

Although the Red Turban Army is a unified name, it is actually a loose alliance gathered by countless rebel armies, and they are not subordinate to each other. Although Wu Tiance is the northern king of the Red Turban Army, if its strength is greatly reduced, the rest of the kings will annex his tribes. This is a cruel reality.

"I don't believe that I can't capture this city if I pass the order and let the Evil Wolf Army go to the city." After thinking for a long time, Wu Tiance would definitely send the most elite Evil Wolf Army under his command to attack the city.

The Evil Wolf Army is the real elite unit of Wu Tiance, which is his greatest reliance. All the soldiers of the Evil Wolf Army are burly and strong. Compared with the ragged weapons in the hands of the other Red Turban soldiers, they are equipped with unified swords, armor and iron shields, and their strength is not weaker than the regular army of the other dynasties.

Now Wu Tiance is in a difficult situation. If he cannot attack Austin as soon as possible and get supplies, his 300,000 army will collapse. Without food, the army will have no combat power. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless. Wu Tiance knows the seriousness of the matter.

There is another reason why Wutiance sent the Wolf Army to attack the city. Now the other leaders have suffered heavy losses in the siege, but their troops are intact, which has made many leaders very dissatisfied. If they want them to continue to serve them, they must appease them.

The Wolf Army is the elite of the Red Turban Army, all of which are experienced in battle. Most of them were soldiers of the regular dynasty before. Compared with the ordinary Red Turban soldiers converted from farmers, they can be considered well-trained.

"Brothers of the Wolf Army! Conquer Austin, I allow you to plunder for three days!"

Wu Tiance personally stood on the chariot and mobilized the ten thousand evil wolf troops under his command before the battle. However, he was not educated and had always been simple and crude in boosting morale. However, it was also the most effective for the evil wolf troops.

If the other Red Turban Army troops had encountered such encouragement, they would have screamed excitedly, but the people of the Wolf Army did not cheer. They just silently pulled down the steel mask, pulled out their sharp weapons, stared at Austin like a Wolf, and prepared to act.

"Go and build your own merits!"

Wu Tiance waved his hand and the evil wolf army was already rushing towards Austin City like a wolf.

"Brothers, follow the Wolf Army!" The other Red Turban Army leaders naturally did not want to win the fruits of victory were picked separately by the Wolf Army, and they also commanded the Red Turban Army soldiers to launch a charge.

The appearance of the Wolf Army boosted the morale of the Red Turban Army. In previous battles, any hard bone that could not be chewed will definitely be unstoppable as long as the Wolf Army comes on the field. Therefore, this time the Red Turban soldiers still blindly believe that Austin will definitely be broken.

After the war stopped for two hours, it broke out violently again. In the first round of defense, the defenders poured out a million arrows, consuming one-third of the inventory, and the results were also very significant, destroying tens of thousands of red scarf soldiers.

Faced with the Red Turban soldiers who rushed over again, the Nanchuan soldiers guarding were no longer able to carry out long-range strikes in batches without giving instructions. The screams, the whistling of arrows, and the shouts of shouts were intertwined on the battlefield again, and countless vivid lives were constantly disappearing.

But this time was different from before, the Red Turban Army's offensive momentum was more fierce than the last time. Faced with the rain of arrows like locusts, they were constantly shot and killed, but they continued to go one after another. The abnormal situation quickly aroused the alertness of the flag commanders and quickly reported it to the commander of the corps, Lin Cunzhi.

Lin Cunzhi did not dare to be careless. Although they had solid city walls and sharp weapons, the number of opponents exceeded them too many, and if they were not careful, they would make a big mistake, so they immediately climbed the city and checked in person.

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army continued to charge forward, very brave. If they were equipped with excellent weapons, their combat effectiveness might be improved by more than one level. Lin Cunzhi's eyes searched among the charger of the Red Turban Army, and soon he discovered an abnormality.

Among the charge of the Red Turban soldiers, there was a team very special. Although they were also wearing variegated clothes, they were almost all equipped with leather and iron armor. The weapons in their hands were much more sophisticated than the other Red Turban soldiers. They had already approached the city wall with the cover of the other Red Turban soldiers.

"We may be in trouble," Lin Cunzhi told Chief of Staff Chu Ming: "Pull up our heavy infantry flag battalion just in case."

The new chief of staff, Chu Ming, also realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately turned around and ran towards the city, preparing to transfer the heavy flag camp.

However, the attack speed of the Red Turban soldiers exceeded Lin Cunzhi's expectations. When they approached the city wall, they suddenly accelerated, and then quickly built a ladder and climbed up the city wall. The archers had only time to release two arrows, and the other party had already climbed to the middle of the city wall.

"Swish!" Lin Cunzhi suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist and yelled: "Person Guard, follow me!"

The soldiers of the Wolf Army were actually much more elite than the other Red Turban soldiers. They were very experienced in evading arrow shooting. A Nanchuan archer tried to shoot the Wolf Army that was climbing up. Not only was he avoided by the other party, but the dagger he threw shot the caught off guard and killed the Nanchuan archer.

The soldiers of the Wolf Army supported the city wall with one hand, and their bodies tumbling up and jumped onto the city wall. Facing the chopped sword, the Nanchuan archers subconsciously raised the big bow in their hands to block it, but with a click, the longbow was cut off from it, and the archer soldier was also slashed into the front door and fell to the ground with a straight body.

The defenders were arranged on the front line were archers, and the second line was slaughtered. The evil wolf army that broke into the city wall was slaughtering the archers. The slaughtered soldiers arranged on the second line hurried forward to try to block the evil wolf army.

However, the soldiers of the Wolf Army were very fierce. One person dared to charge at dozens of Nanchuan spearmen. Although they were quickly stabbed to the ground by the spearmen, more wolf soldiers crashed into the spearmen.

In close combat, the 1.7-meter-long spear was no match for the sword at all. The length determined the flexibility was greatly reduced. The entire city wall was in chaos, and cheers burst out from the city, and the red scarf soldiers rushed up the city wall along the gap.

"Stop them!" Lin Cunzhi personally led his own personal soldiers to join the battle, but the fierce fighting power of the Wolf Army made him unable to withstand, and he was killed and retreated step by step. (To be continued)
