Chapter 840 Seizing the City
The torrent of steel rushed past, the black armor was like ice, the spear was like electricity, and the torrent of steel was invincible.
The wide streets of Simla City are full of fleeing crowds. If you observe carefully, you can even find that there are many defeated Indian soldiers mixed among them.
Facing the fleeing crowd, the Black Armored Xuanqi showed no mercy, and all those who stood in the way, regardless of status, gender or even age, were all beheaded on the spot.
"Hold it! Hold it! The reinforcements are right behind, as long as we persist for five minutes, we can wipe them all out!!!"
An Indian mid-level general brandished a long knife and roared loudly, trying to make the fleeing soldiers turn around and fight the Pingzhou army, but his struggle was doomed to be futile. escaped.
"Ahh! Damn it!!!"
The general roared angrily, and with more than a dozen personal guards, he drew his sword and rushed towards the surging black-armored Xuanqi.
The miracle did not happen, and the slightly tragic behavior did not affect the rhythm of the Pingzhou Army's attack at all. In fact, his near-suicidal counterattack didn't even make a splash.
Including himself, more than a dozen "strong men" were crushed to a pulp by the cavalry in just a few seconds!
In the current city of Simla, there are hunting squads of hundreds of people everywhere. The target they chased and killed had several times or even dozens of times the strength advantage, but they had no ability to resist at all.
At this time, all the 100,000 Pingzhou troops had entered the city, but they had not encountered any commendable resistance. Even the strongest counterattack force carefully prepared by India, the Dragon Elephant Army, the top royal army in India, was vulnerable to the elite Pingzhou Army.
A large number of troops rushed up, and then routed at an even faster speed. The army composed of aborigines performed uncharacteristically worse than the army of ordinary players. Many of them were defeated by the defeat of other friendly troops before they even came into contact with the Pingzhou army. The whole process seemed to be funny.
On the contrary, some players' armies performed fairly well. Although they couldn't stop the Pingzhou army's edge, at least some of them managed to fight to the death.
However, a small number of brave players cannot change the entire battle situation. The current city of Simla has long been in chaos, and the situation can no longer be saved by relying on a few brave people.
In fact, at this time, the senior generals in Simla City were still in a state of bewilderment. The first news they got was that someone was going to attack the city, and before they could deploy any effective countermeasures, new news came that a medium-sized city gate had been occupied.
The senior officials of the Indian army quickly ordered the entire city to be under martial law and the highest alert, and at the same time tried to organize the army to retake the city gate.
The army responsible for recapturing the city gate has not yet arrived at the destination, and new news comes that the enemy army has begun to attack the city!
Compared with the Pingzhou Army, the response of the Indian District was always a few beats slower, and various effects accumulated. The final result was that the senior management of the Indian District was busy sweating profusely, but the control over the situation showed with the passage of time. Falling off a cliff.
The reason for this result is of course that the Indian command system is chaotic and the central response is slow, but this is only an inducement. The real root cause is that the Pingzhou Army's actions are too fast!
Siege, defeating the enemy, and advancing in depth, all links are closely connected, and the whole process is done in one go, cleanly and without sloppiness.
One step faster once, two steps faster twice, three or five times are superimposed, and the efficiency of the two sides' actions is no longer at the same level.
Shang Ji didn't do it himself, he was in his horse form under the protection of tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles.
Overlook the battlefield below.
Looking up, there are Pingzhou Army in charge of chasing and killing Indian Army who have thrown away their helmets and armor everywhere. Beacon smoke, wails, hisses, and screams spread throughout the city of Simla.
Just now, the last counterattack prepared by the Indian region ended in failure, and the 300,000 troops that had been assembled in a hurry were defeated.
Seeing that he was unable to regain control of the city, the commander-in-chief of Simla City cut off his wrists, and directly ordered to preserve the vitality and withdraw the army from Simla City.
Objectively speaking, this order is correct. The more the melee, the greater the advantage of the Pingzhou Army. It has been exhausted in the city of Simla, and the Indian army in the city must be wiped out. Withdrawing the army from the city, temporarily "giving up" the city of Shimla, waiting for the support of the surrounding cities, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, there is no problem in strategy.
However, the Indian commander ignored a fatal point and with the execution of the Indian army, can he perfectly execute this order at this critical juncture?
The result is of course negative!
After the commander gave the order to retreat, the Indian army fell into chaos! Rumors spread everywhere in the army, and the morale of the army plummeted.
Of course, Shang Ji would not let go of this good opportunity, and quickly ordered the army to take advantage of the situation to pursue it.
Under the pursuit of the Pingzhou army, the Indian army was finally defeated across the board, the command system completely collapsed, and countless routs rushed in all directions in a mess.
Faced with this situation, Shang Ji decisively issued an order to change the way of fighting. Let the 100,000 Pingzhou army be divided into dozens of groups, and chase and kill the enemy separately. It is necessary not to let the defeated army run around or regroup wantonly in the city.
And many top military generals headed by Zhao Yun are each in charge of an area, dispatching troops to encircle and suppress the routs in the area, and at the same time prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry and making large-scale damage to urban buildings.
Tai Shici, Wang Shu, Liu Meng, and Su Huan led 10,000 elite troops to directly attack the core inner city, controlling and occupying important buildings such as the heart of the city, the treasury, and the granary.
After observing carefully, Shang Ji nodded slightly.
The war situation has continued to this day, and Shang Ji basically doesn't need to worry about it. Shang Ji didn't need to do the job of cleaning the battlefield himself.
Sure enough, after waiting for more than half an hour, a pleasant system notification sounded in my ears: "Ding, congratulations player Shangji, you have successfully captured the giant city of Simla in India, and you will be rewarded with one million national war points."
Just a few minutes after the system prompts, the battle reports from Tai Shici and others have also been sent over. Without any accidents, the important buildings such as the city lord's mansion, barracks, granaries, treasury, and workshops in Simla City have all been occupied and controlled by the Pingzhou army. .
Although some troops from the Indian region attempted to destroy the buildings, due to the rapid action of the Pingzhou Army, most of the destruction plans in the Indian region were only paper orders, and 80% of the buildings were intact and ready to be used at any time.
Even if some buildings were lucky enough to be destroyed by the Indian region, due to the timely rescue by the Pingzhou Army, the damage was slight and they could be restored to normal use soon.
Although occupying most of the important buildings, this does not mean that the Pingzhou Army has really controlled the city of Simla!
Simla City is the most core giant city in India, with a population of tens of millions. Although the Pingzhou Army defeated and drove away the Indian defenders in the city with powerful combat effectiveness, due to a serious shortage of manpower, it was impossible to attack Simla City. The city formed effective governance.
Moreover, due to the lack of necessary administrative talents, the public sentiment and public security data in Simla City have collapsed, and there is no possibility of recovery for the time being.
