The battle plan for the defensive counterattack was a plan formulated by Lyon's General Staff, so in order to closely integrate the two combat units, Wei Yingcai's department only needed to follow the orders of the Lyon command and cooperate with Lyon's deployment of the battle in the form of assistance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, Leon's arrangement for Wei Yingcai's department is also very simple: "Order Wei Yingcai's department not to expose the troops." ”

"Sir, Wei Yingcai reports that they have sent a small force to attack the Xia army from the northwest by detour, with the purpose of disturbing the Xia army's line of sight, so that the Xia army will mistakenly think that they are in the northwest. ”

When Leon heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, but he was a little worried that Wei Yingcai's troops would act rashly, so he immediately ordered: "Strictly order Wei Yingcai, the whole army will not move! What's going on with Xia Jun?"

"The elite main force of the Xia army is camped east of Tai'an City. However, according to the report of Yangcheng intelligence officers, there are still many Xia army troops stationed in Yangcheng. However, there is still an important news that has not yet been clarified, and there is also an army of about 100,000 Xia troops that has left Yangcheng, but there is no accurate data on its whereabouts. ”

Leon paused for a moment before continuing: "I'm not worried about the other troops of the Xia army, as long as we defeat Bai Qi and his main force, we can basically control the overall situation." As for the other Xia troops, they are just the local armies of the Xia Kingdom, their strength is weak and their equipment is poor, but they are not a big threat to us. ”

"But general, will Bai Qi let the main force of the Xia army stand still, but let the local army of the Xia army play the vanguard for them, be cannon fodder, and use the strength of these local armies to storm our city walls to preserve the strength of their main force?"

"Possibly! But in this way, it will be against us. But in any case, if Bai Qi's main army does not move, we must not have a decisive battle. ”

Leon's thinking is very clear, in order to prevent Bai Qi from using Tian Ji's horse racing moves, their main army must also be the main army corresponding to the Shang Xia army, otherwise, if they attack easily, they will lose a lot because of a small loss.

"General, we will definitely be able to destroy the enemy in front of us!" the subordinate ordered.

"Jiangzhou can only be the Jiangzhou of the empire. Leon said domineeringly.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and soon it was sunset, and even the sunset seemed to disperse faster than usual.

However, Xia Jun, who had been waiting until the point to make a move, still thought that the time was too slow, no, as soon as night fell, Xia Jun began to move and continued to clear the mines.

Their strategy is to use the protection of the night, Bai Qi believes that under the influence of the night, the snipers of the Xinghua Empire will always be more difficult to aim at the target, so their existence is not as great as the daytime for the mine-sweeping operations of the Xia soldiers.

Of course, even if there is the protection of the night, but the Xia soldiers who carry out the mine-sweeping operation still need to risk their lives to carry out the task, after all, it is very difficult, but no one can protect it, whether the snipers of the Xinghua Empire will really aim at them in a dark corner!

It's just that after about half of the original minesweeping range was completed, the Xia army began to guess whether they were too worried, maybe the snipers of the Xinghua Army could not only accurately target them in such a late night, but more importantly, perhaps, the Xinghua Army did not think of fortifying at night at all.

Gradually, because the soldiers of the Xia army had never been sniped by the Xinghua army, they gradually relaxed their guard even more, thinking that it was a wise move for them to choose to sweep mines in the middle of the night! Perhaps, they would be able to sweep away the mines laid by the Xinghua army in one fell swoop tonight, when the Xinghua army was taking it lightly, and obtain a key guarantee for the Xia army's attack!

Xia Jun's guess can only be regarded as half right.

It is true that the Xinghua Army did not intend to send snipers to stop the Xia Army from carrying out mine-sweeping operations in this night when the visibility was not high, but the reason was not to take it lightly because it was quiet at night. On the contrary, the Xinghua Army actually has its own strategy. It is precisely because the visibility at night is not high and the high hit rate cannot be guaranteed, rather than wasting the sniper's bullets just to kill so many mine-sweeping Xia soldiers, it is better to save the strength to fight against the Xia army during the day.

Moreover, when the two armies were fighting, how could the Xinghua army not be defended? It's just that only when the soldiers of the Xia army were found approaching the city wall of Tai'an City would they shoot and shoot.

And just like that, the night passed.

Early the next morning, in the camp of the Xia army, clouds of white smoke could be seen, and the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom began to make breakfast.

This is the supply before the war, and after this breakfast, the Xia army should be about to attack the city.

Therefore, the Xinghua soldiers also seized the time and ate a hot meal. Because, this is the battlefield, and you can still have a hot meal, you must hurry up, once the war starts, I am afraid that some soldiers in the armies of both sides will never even have the opportunity to eat a bite of food.

Even if it is helpless, this is war.

Of course, the logistics of Xinghua soldiers are different from ordinary armies, and in terms of supply, they have never wronged every soldier as much as possible. Even if the conditions are rudimentary, as long as you boil a pot of hot water or a pot of soup, you can at least ensure that the soldier can choose instant noodles or eat yakiniku on his own.

In Tai'an City, there is a large military warehouse, which is specially used to store military supplies, and the grain in it is enough to ensure that the Xinghua Army does not lack food for three months.

The morning sun is getting brighter, and the sun slowly rises into the sky at about eight o'clock.

After resting, the Xia army began to assemble. Moreover, the Xia army seems to have recognized the east gate of Tai'an City, and at least half of the Xia army's troops are concentrated on the east gate.

On a small hill to the east of Taean City, Bai Qi climbed high and looked far away.

For this siege battle, Bai Qi prepared for half a year.

Moreover, in order to ensure victory, Bai Qi not only dispatched the 100,000 elite soldiers in front of him, but also equipped the 100,000 soldiers with all-armor battle suits, as well as various siege weapons, including bows and arrows, trebuchets, as well as Shenwu cannons, steel knives and swords, etc.

In this battle, Bai Qi is determined to win, and he is confident that he is bound to defeat the Xinghua army.

Therefore, in order to witness the birth of this moment of victory, he had to stand on a high place so that he could witness the whole process and watch how the Xia army broke through the defenses of Tai'an, entered the city, and captured the Xinghua army.

The big battle was like an arrow on the bow, Bai Qi proudly looked at the 100,000 Xia army led by him again, his heart was full of pride and excitement, as if the fruits of victory had been picked by the Xia army! Everything will definitely become a reality step by step as he imagined!

And when Bai Qi looked at Tai'an City, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of contempt -- in this battle, the Xinghua Army will definitely be defeated! Unless the Xinghua Army in Tai'an City and reinforcements are coming, the situation will be irreversible!

But in an instant, Bai Qi's mind suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning - I don't know what stimulation he was under, he actually remembered the defeat of the Sword Pass at this moment!

That painful experience was a shame for his life, but at this time, it gave him a head start - one of the reasons for the defeat of Jianguan was because of his underestimating enemies.

This thought made Bai Qi's back cold! He immediately shook his head subconsciously.

With a big war imminent, he can't grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of his own army, which will greatly affect the morale and thus affect the battle situation! But the past can be learned, Bai Qi thought to himself, maybe he should really be steady against the enemy.

Bai Qi paused, and once again confirmed the pre-battle preparations to the generals beside him: "You must clean the area around Tai'an City over and over again, especially in the direction west of Tai'an. If the Xinghua Army appears, they must be held back!"

Bai Qi believes that the 100,000 army is pressing, and the victory of the Xia army is very large, if it is possible for the Xinghua army to reverse the situation, the key is whether they have reinforcements arrived, so he specially explained to his subordinate generals to prevent the Xinghua army in the city from having the possibility of reinforcements to support.

"Rest assured, our army has prepared 10,000 soldiers. If the reinforcements of the Xinghua army do not come, they will teach them that there is no return. The general of the Xia army replied.

Bai Qi nodded, the generals who followed him were all generals of a hundred battles, and he trusted them very much.

It's just that before defeating the Xinghua Army, Bai Qi's heart couldn't be completely settled, and he was worried that the history of the fiasco would repeat itself, so he began to check and fill in the gaps in his mind, thinking about what else he hadn't thought of, or hadn't prepared yet.

But even so, Bai Qi still ignored it.

Wei Yingcai led more than 10,000 troops of the Xinghua Army and hid on a hill southeast of Tai'an City. Their hidden position is almost the rear position of the Xia army. The main scope of Xia Jun's search was west of Tai'an City, so naturally he did not notice the situation of Wei Yingcai's department.

Wei Yingcai ordered the troops to carry enough dry food and drinking water, and asked the troops to hide in the mountains and forests, not to use any open flames, not to go down the mountain, and not to leave the 100-meter range of the hidden place.

The Xinghua soldiers of Wei Yingcai's department were wearing camouflage uniforms, and if the Xia army didn't get close, they wouldn't be able to find it at all.

This time, Wei Yingcai wanted to wash away the shame of his several defeats. Therefore, he was also ruthless, personally followed the troops, ate dry food and drank cold water in the mountains, and slept on the ground for two days.

It wasn't until the Lyon Ministry sent a telegram informing Wei Yingcai that the Xia army had been dispatched and was about to attack the city, that he got up and ordered the troops to eat canned food, conserve their strength, and prepare to attack.

By Wei Yingcai's side, there were fifty multiple rocket launchers and more than a thousand rockets.

The Xia army fought against the Xinghua army many times and accumulated a lot of experience.

This time, Bai Qi's Xia army abandoned the previous dense attack formation, and when the soldiers attacked, they completely attacked Tai'an City in an irregular formation.

"Kill!" 50,000 Xia soldiers, carrying long ladders, launched a huge attack on Tai'an City under the cover of Shenwu cannons, trebuchets, and archers.

Bang bang bang......

The soldiers of the Xinghua Army also opened fire desperately on the city wall, and heavy machine guns and mortars were also returning fire, directly attacking the Xia soldiers on the battlefield.

The two sides exchanged fierce fire, and both fought with fire.

At this time, none of the soldiers on either side thought of retreating, and frantically went forward and followed.

The battle, which lasted more than half an hour, was climbed by the first Xia soldier on the city wall. Then, the Xia soldier brandished a knife and tried to kill the Xinghua soldier, but the Xinghua soldier shot and killed the Xia soldier. This kind of battle scene began to happen on the walls of Tai'an City continuously.

Bai Qi's Xia army was worthy of being elite, they were brave, paid thousands of casualties, and finally approached the city wall and climbed the tower. It's just that Lyon's Xinghua Army is not vegetarian. Even if the Xia soldiers climbed the city wall, none of the Xinghua soldiers retreated, and they were still constantly using the weapons in their hands to attack the Xia soldiers.

However, as the Xia army attacked the city wall, Bai Qi ordered the high-ranking warriors in the army to charge. Bai Qi knew that close combat was the time when high-level martial artists could exert their greatest effectiveness. Immediately ordered his subordinates to rush to the city wall with hundreds of warriors above the third level.

On the walls of Tai'an City, these high-ranking warriors relied on their ability to resist one or two bullets, and they attacked the Xinghua soldiers regardless of their lives.

Under several impacts, the Xinghua soldiers on the city wall gradually became a little unstoppable.

At this time, Leon ordered the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw into the city and engage in a melee with the Xia army.

"Great Marshal, the city has been broken! The Xinghua army abandoned the city wall, they hid in the city, and they are still resisting fiercely!" An excited Xia soldier reported their results to Bai Qi.

"Okay! Order the whole army, whoever kills the chief general of the Xinghua army will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels! For every Xinghua officer killed, no matter how big or small, the reward will be 100 taels!Hahaha......" Bai Qi laughed happily.

Bai Qi finished laughing, and then said: "It is advisable to chase after the poor man and not give the enemy a chance to fight back." Immediately launch a general offensive and completely wipe out the Xinghua army!"

Bai Qi gave an order, and the remaining 50,000 Xia Army soldiers also began to move.

To the southeast of Tai'an City, on a hill, Wei Yingcai's walkie-talkie rustled.

"The enemy's main force is attacking, you can start moving!" Leon's voice reached Wei Yingcai's ears.

"Yes, Wei Yingcai understands!" replied Wei Yingcai.

Wei Yingcai took out a high-powered telescope and stood on a tall tree, easily seeing the battle situation at the east gate of Tai'an City. A large number of Xia soldiers are moving towards Tai'an City.

At this time, once Wei Yingcai does not support Leon, Leon will inevitably be defeated. However, Wei Yingcai did not have such a thought, nor did he dare to have such a thought. In the Xinghua Empire, officers were very important, but the army was not the private army of officers. The Emperor, at any time, could appoint a new officer to command the army. The object of loyalty of the Xinghua soldiers was the state, the emperor, not the commander.

"Multiple rocket launchers, adjust and shoot at Zhu Yuan, target the Xia army outside the east gate of Tai'an City, cover the attack ......" Wei Yingcai ordered.

"Zhuyuan is ready! Cover the attack, fire at any time!" The MLRS officer reported to Wei Yingcai. They had already prepared and waited for Wei Yingcai to give the order. Fit, they're re-checking, and it's extremely fast.

"Fire!" Three minutes later, Wei Ying saw most of the Xia army appear outside the east gate of Tai'an City, and he immediately gave an order.

"Ready!" shouted the artillery officer.

Woohoo......

With a fierce whistle, he rushed towards the intended target.

A strange sound came from the sky. When Bai Qi heard this, he was startled and pale, it was not the first time he had heard this voice.

When he raised his head, the place in front of the east gate of Tai'an City was already a sea of fire.
