Chapter 167: Raid

At eight o'clock in the evening, more than 100,000 troops brought by Zhao Chun from the capital arrived in City C, and at 8:30, Taodong Xiaouchi led 100,000 troops from City F arrived, and Zhao Chun asked the soldiers to eat and rest in place. Instead, a meeting of the commanders of the two forces was summoned.

At the meeting, Zhao Chundao: "Our target tonight is the enemy army on this road in Town A, and the reason why we chose this position is because the enemy army on this road is far away from the other two enemy forces, and the terrain is more favorable to our surprise attack." Taodong Xiaouchi, you lead 50,000 soldiers, interspersed with the enemy's back, cut off the enemy's retreat. Liu Chuanghao, you lead 40,000 soldiers and are responsible for stopping the enemy's reinforcements from the left army. Zhongshan Shanxi, you lead 40,000 soldiers and are responsible for stopping the enemy's right army reinforcements. The bid bureau stayed in City C. I personally led an army of 100,000 to launch a general attack. If there is a disobedience to the order, you can cut it first and then play. Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Commander-in-chief, why do you want to go into battle in person? Or is it better for you to stay in City C, you know that my specialty is to charge into battle, and command is not my specialty. Shen Ju scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"No, you are the commander-in-chief of this direction, you are more familiar with all aspects, it is better for you to stay, after all, in addition to tonight's raid, you also have to take care of the battles in other places, pay attention to unity and coordination, don't care too much about the loss of a place, you must be good at seizing the fighter, understand? I hope you can grow up in battle, fighting not only to be brave, but also to be strategic, in this regard, Taodong Xiaouchi has done a better job, he comes from the army of the Black Ice Tribe, and is familiar with the Black Ice Tribe. ”

Taodong Xiaonei was a little embarrassed by Zhao Chun's praise, and said: "I have already asked people to prepare thousands of sets of military uniforms of the Black Ice Tribe army, and I just need them tonight, the commander-in-chief can rest assured, I promise to complete the task of cutting off the retreat of the Black Ice Tribe army." ”

Zhao Chun nodded with satisfaction, while Shen Ju and the others were extremely surprised, people often say that there are two big think tanks in the army, one is Wang Zhen, the other is Taodong Xiaonei, for Wang Zhen, they are convinced, but for this Taodong Xiaonei who surrendered, there is still some discomfort in his heart, but now look at people, Commander-in-Chief Zhao just said to transfer him over, he immediately knew what the commander-in-chief was going to do, and he had already prepared, this is wisdom. Everyone has the same head, why do other people's heads think about things so well?

After arranging the task, everyone immediately went to prepare separately, and then Taodong Xiaouchi set off with the army first.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, after the participating troops reported that they were ready, Zhao Chun gave the order for a general attack, and suddenly a salvo of 10,000 artillery pieces lit up the entire night sky.

The commander of the Black Ice Tribe had received information before, saying that the Tianhai tribe had troops coming from the direction of the capital to reinforce it, but they didn't pay much attention to it, because they knew very well that there were only more than 100,000 troops stationed near the capital of the Tianhai tribe, and the rest were still in the direction of Xiongguan and the direction of the Oolong tribe, and now it was a duel of nearly two million troops, what could these hundreds of thousands of troops do? Not to mention that the capital is very far away from the battlefield, and it is difficult to get reinforcements for two or three days, and even if they do, can they turn the tide of the battle? This is obviously impossible, so everything is carried out according to the original plan. Some people even optimistically estimate that as long as three days, according to the continuation of this fierce offensive, the Tianhai tribe will inevitably collapse, and even if the immortals come, it will be difficult to turn the tide of the war.

When the commander in the direction of Town A reported to the commander-in-chief of the Black Ice Tribe's coalition that they were under unprecedented heavy artillery fire from the Tianhai tribe's side, the commander-in-chief realized that the Tianhai tribe might have concentrated its forces and ate the coalition army first, and hurriedly wanted to transfer other troops to reinforce it.

However, when the attack was first launched, in order to motivate the soldiers to forge ahead, all the armies were assigned tasks, and whoever attacked the city first would receive a reward of 10,000 taels of gold, a beautiful woman, and a feudal lord, but now they were asked to reinforce the other side, what if the other side attacked the city first? Wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? What's more, since the enemy had concentrated his forces on that side, wouldn't the defense on his side be weak? The enemy's defense is already precarious under the fierce attack of its own side, and as long as it increases its strength, it may be able to break through? Seeing that the first work is about to belong to oneself, how can one give up? What's more, the other party is not from the same tribe as oneself, and whether they will be wiped out has something to do with oneself, and perhaps one less person will grab the credit, and he will be able to get more shares.

Under the guidance of such an ideology, although the commander-in-chief gave an order urgently, the other two route armies were not very active in execution, but only symbolically sent 10,000 or 20,000 troops to support, but stepped up the offensive on their own side, they always believed that as long as they broke through the defense line and took City C, then the credit was their own, and it didn't matter whether the other party was eliminated or not, just don't die and be poor......

However, the Black Ice Tribal coalition around the town of A fought fiercely from midnight until dawn, but in despair they found that they were enemies on all sides, not only the supply lines were cut off, but none of the reinforcements were seen, and the sparse guns in the distance did not look like reinforcements, but as if they had come to watch how they failed. What is even more serious is that the army of 200,000 has been able to fight less than 80,000 by now, and the heavy weapons and the like have suffered heavy losses, and the promised aircraft and tank reinforcements are nowhere to be seen. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, and if they resisted any longer, they could only be completely annihilated, the so-called fame and fortune had already abandoned them, and in despair, they had to surrender under the leadership of the commander.

Zhao Chun did not embarrass them, and after some ideological education, he gave them two choices, one was to become prisoners of war, put them in prisoner of war camps, and after the war was over, let their families or tribes redeem them with gold, the price was one hundred taels of gold for soldiers, one thousand taels of gold for junior officers, five thousand taels of gold for intermediate officers, and ten thousand to twenty thousand taels of gold for senior officers;

The reason why these officers and soldiers joined the army of the Black Ice Tribe in the first place, in addition to having to obey because of the decision-making of the tribe's high-level, another very important reason is also because the Black Ice Tribe promised to give generous rewards and rewards, most of them are from the bottom of the society, if it is not a last resort, who is willing to fight with their lives. So when Zhao Chun's two choices were proposed, most people immediately chose the latter, jokingly, where could their family get so much gold to ransom them? The tribe would not pay such a big price for a captive, surrendering was shameful enough, and they had to be ransomed by their family members in bankruptcy, what kind of face did they have to live? Only a few diehards, thinking that their families could afford to pay the ransom, chose the first option.

Solving the problem of prisoners of war, Zhao Chun let people clean up the battlefield while healing the wounded officers and soldiers, and this time the assault, the Tianhai tribe killed more than 30,000 people, the loss is not small, but they feel that it is worth it, after all, the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's first army, there is a good start, which greatly enhances the confidence of the officers and soldiers to win.

After the soldiers rested for a while, Zhao Chun launched an attack on the other enemy army, before the attack, he sent people to disguise themselves as the enemy troops in the A town that broke through and escaped, mixed into that army, and then when the general attack was launched, he should wreak havoc inside and outside, and start the attack from the inside. This time it was even more beautiful than last night's battle, which ended before dark and captured more than 100,000 people.

The annihilation of two armies in a row made the commander-in-chief of the Black Ice Tribe thunderous and shocked, if it continues to develop like this, his army of 1.3 million is not enough for people to stuff their teeth, and it will be solved in just a few days, can the other party really have divine help? In a panic, he hurriedly ordered the other army to retreat, and the other 400,000 troops attacking City F also retreated, he planned to wait for these two troops to converge with the troops of Wufeng Mountain, and then concentrate on attacking from one direction, and at the same time fight with the Tianhai tribe, after all, he still has about 800,000 troops in his hands now, compared with the Tianhai tribe, they still have a slight advantage.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Chun didn't give him this opportunity, the battle here was not over yet, he had already sent someone to cut off the retreat of the Black Ice Tribe's last route army to attack City C, and then with the aftermath of victory, he launched a general attack on this route army.

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief of the Black Ice Tribe couldn't help but shudder, Nima's, is this guy still human? The battle is over, and he doesn't rest for a while? How can he move so fast? Could he be able to move people to another battlefield in an instant?

However, no matter what he felt in his heart, it was an ironclad fact that the last army attacking City C was now besieged. He found that since the more than 100,000 reinforcements from the Tianhai tribe arrived last night, he had been passive everywhere on the battlefield, not only was the momentum of the attack blocked, but even the attacking troops were surrounded and annihilated one by one, and there was no one more aggrieved than him.

He really wanted to mobilize all the troops and fight to the death with the Tianhai tribe, but he sadly found that he did not have this ability, or this speed, he was like a fire captain, where the fire started, he sent people to extinguish it, but in the end he sadly found that not only did the fire not be extinguished, but instead sent personnel and equipment to the enemy, he was ready to change his career to become a transport captain.

The commander-in-chief of the Black Ice Tribe, who did not succeed in fighting the fire, became angry and vented all his anger on Wufeng Mountain, gathered the last remaining more than 500,000 troops, launched a fierce attack on the defenders of Wufeng Mountain, and finally captured Wufeng Mountain at the cost of nearly 100,000 casualties, which was also the only victory he achieved in this battle.

All the 150,000 defenders of Wufeng Mountain died heroically, and not a single one of them surrendered, even the fierce soldiers of the Black Ice Tribe had to admire their iron bones, if their army was full of such warriors, how could they still be defeated so badly? The army that claimed to be 1.3 million was now only 400,000, only one-third of the pre-war level! In less than three days, more than 800,000 people had been wiped out, and it was terrifying to think about.

The commander-in-chief of the Black Ice Tribe really wanted to lead these more than 400,000 people back to the country, after all, 1.3 million people couldn't win the battle before, so what could he do with these more than 400,000 people?

However, the leader and military headquarters of the Black Ice Tribe gave him a death order, asking him to stick to Wufeng Mountain in order to hold the main force of the Tianhai tribe and cooperate with the battle in the direction of Xiongguan, and promised him that within five days, more troops and aircraft, tanks and artillery would be sent to support!

In this battle, Zhao Chun's side also lost more than 200,000 people, but his troops not only did not attrition, but increased from more than 700,000 to more than 800,000, and nearly 400,000 were converted from prisoners alone.
