Chapter 854: Sunrise in the East (79)
If the defeat of the left bank was opportunistic, and the Eastern Army showed their cunning and victory, and Huo Si'an's strong attack failed, so that the Eastern Army performed their extraordinary skills in hand-to-hand combat, connecting the two battles, both ended in the defeat of the Qi army, especially in the second battle, the left and right flanks of the Eastern Army each dispatched less than a thousand people, and then repelled the attack of thousands of Huo Si'an, so Tian Dan did not pay attention to it.
The facts did not seem to match his guesses, Tian Dan was greatly shocked by the combat effectiveness displayed by this so-called new First Army, and when Huo Si'an launched a second attack, he also rushed to the front line from the base camp, and he wanted to see for himself the capabilities of the opposing army.
The coach came in person, and Huo Si'an naturally showed twelve points of seriousness, and once again launched an attack on the opposite position. This time, there was no trick, no contempt, just as Tian Dan envisioned, with a dignified and upright teacher, crushed from the front, and pushed flat.
It may seem clumsy, but it's the most effective.
After easily winning two victories, the defenders of the Eastern Army finally ushered in a tough battle.
The bed crossbow roared and fired, the Mengchong cars were shot down, the rockets flew, on the battlefield, blazing fires everywhere, the Qi army shot a jar of grease into the fortress group, and then ignited it with rockets, and the Eastern Army also adopted the same strategy, using rockets to draw fuel and fat, burning the opposite Mengchong car, heavy shield position.
On the battlefield, the smell of burnt paste and the smell of meat, mixed with the screams of dying and the screams of the charge, converged into a reproduction of the scene of the sub-Asura hell.
Li Shan held a heavy shield and slashed straight between the two wings of the Eastern Army, and after paying a heavy price, the Qi army finally entered the fortress group, and in the large camp behind them, the earth-shattering drums sounded because of their breakthrough. Then encouragement is also destruction.
But Li Shan, who broke in, was definitely not a little happy, because he suddenly found that he had suddenly become an enemy on three sides from the previous one, although he destroyed the opponent's first breastwork, but those breastwork that connected the fortress one after another, it seemed to be endless, and the moment he broke in, the attacks from three sides came in unison.
In an instant. He lost a third of his men. There were not many heavy shield soldiers rushing in with him, and he tried hard to command his subordinates, trying to cover all the soldiers with heavy shields, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do this, and he lost the cover of the heavy shield, and the Qi army, which was facing attacks from three sides, fell under the crossbow arrows of the opponent one after another.
"Retreat, exit! Li Shan shouted in despair. If you don't make a decision, let alone take a step forward, it is impossible to retreat.
Seeing Li Shanwolf withdraw from the area that had just been broken, Huo Si'an's originally slightly happy face suddenly became gloomy. Look at the entire battlefield again. Except for the little achievements that Li Shan has just made, none of them can take a step forward.
"Mingjin, collect the troops! Tian Dan couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, but Huo Si'an could hear his dissatisfaction from this faint sentence. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
The Qi army began to retreat, and Cui Chengxiu immediately led his troops to rush out of the chest wall and began to counterattack in reverse. Gao Chengdong on the other side was the same, but this time, they suffered a loss, when the Qi army retreated, the seemingly chaotic rear army was killed by Cui Chengxiu and fled, but what was revealed was not the butt of the enemy's main force, but a pocket formation that was waiting for it, Cui Chengxiu was not guarded, and the front team was swept in.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Chengxiu quickly retreated, but the hundreds of people in the front team were surrounded by the enemy, and they kept shouting and killing inside, but Cui Chengxiu was powerless to rescue, and when he retreated to the defense line, he could only watch the more than 100 soldiers fighting alone inside, and gradually the shouting and killing gradually subsided, and a qiē returned to calm.
The Qi army retreated like a wind, leaving behind the remains of the dead on both sides all over the ground.
"Li Shan, tell me about the situation inside the other party's position." Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was a little solidified, Tian Dan stared at Li Shan, who was still stained with blood on his body, and asked.
Li Shan stepped forward and bowed: "Xiangye, the opponent's defensive formation is definitely not what we see outside, this defensive formation they set up is interlocking, covering each other, there are no dead ends, after the last general rushed in, he was immediately attacked from three sides."
Tian Dan's eyes narrowed slightly, "In other words, the opponent's defense line is not a single line?" "
"Yes, Xiangye, the last general thinks that the other party deliberately let us break through a section and rush in, and then use this defense to kill and injure a large number of our soldiers, so this is a trap."
"What's the best thing to do? "
"Flat push! Li Shan said without hesitation: "Don't care about the flaws that the opponent shows in a certain direction, because we don't know whether it is a flaw or a bait, the best way is to hit the fortresses one by one and cut them off layer by layer from the outside."
He paused, "Of course, this will cause a lot of casualties among the soldiers."
Tian Dan nodded, and turned to look at Huo Si'an, "Si'an, in the end, the counterattack against the counterattack of the Eastern Army was very beautiful, and he killed the opponent's arrogance fiercely, this is a white-knuckle battle with the opponent, what do you think of the opponent's combat effectiveness?" "
Huo Si'an stood up, "Xiangye, in the last battle with the enemy, although we won, but we also paid a lot of price, the Eastern Army surrounded by us, in terms of fighting, does not look like a well-trained veteran, there are very few experienced veterans like this, it should be their officers, so this army should be a new army as judged by Xiangye, but what the last general is worried about is that the will to fight of this new army is extremely strong, and it can be seen from not a single prisoner, I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Gao Yuan poured into these people, these soldiers are not afraid of death at all."
Huo Si'an's words made the temperature in the big tent drop a few degrees again, Tian Dan nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand, and said, "Let's stop here today, everyone is tired, go down and rest first."
Everyone retreated, in the big tent, only Tian Dan was left, at this time his face showed some fatigue and anxiety, Wei and 20,000 cavalry into Liaoxi, now Kuoshan Pass was blocked by the Eastern Army, they became a lone army, although now there is no large enemy army in Liaoxi can threaten them, but this is still an unstable dìng factor. The most critical issue is the supply problem, once Wei He's supply is in difficulty, the combat effectiveness of this army will be greatly reduced.
And the action of Chu State, so that Tian Dan was a little unexpected, Chu Huai Wang, who has always been like a sick cat, made such a big determination this time, and transferred troops to Linyi, although the combat effectiveness of those Chu soldiers was unbearable, and the soldiers and horses left in the country were enough to deal with them, but the determination expressed by King Chu Huai made Tian Dan very worried, after all, Chu State was a big country, and it was restrained by the Qin people, but once King Chu Huai was determined to make a big move, Qi Guo must also deal with it with all his strength to be able to stop it, but now, the conditions are obviously not available.
No matter what King Chu Huai has in mind, but in a short period of time, it is impossible for the Chu army to threaten our Great Qi! Silently estimating the strength comparison between the two sides in his heart, Tian Dan came to a conclusion. Over the years, he has been quietly accumulating strength, the domestic armament is sufficient, and when he left, he left a soldier in Linyi just in case, and now it seems that it is very accurate.
Now the most important thing is to conquer the east of this war, if you win, it is a sunny spring, a hundred flowers blooming, if you lose, the harsh winter will inevitably come, even if the Chu people are weak, they will inevitably come to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Thankfully, it is indeed a new army stationed at Kunshan Pass, at most some experienced officers have been incorporated into it, and taking them down is something that I must do now.
Tian Dan finally made up his mind, on the battlefield before, the moment he saw the ferocious counterattack of the Eastern Army, he was already a little shaken, and even planned to retreat, taking Langya and controlling Tianhe, which was also a good result, although in the end he had to face the counterattack of the Eastern Army.
If you can smoothly break through the enemy army in front of you and enter Liaoxi, you will be a profitable business, and of course it is worth gambling. Withdraw the troops, leaving behind the great enemy of Gao Yuan, and the future will be endless.
Kill to the end, and never leave your hands behind.
Tian Dan made up his mind, and Zhang Hongyu's new First Army was destined to experience a test of blood and fire at Kunshan Pass. And at the same time that Zhang Hongyu is facing a huge test, in Langya County, the situation is developing in a good direction, Tian Dan only left Tian Fucheng with 20,000 troops to contain the defenders of Langya County and Guangping, in Tian Dan's view, these two armies have now lost the ability to go out of the city to fight, but Tian Fucheng still takes into account the task of raising grain and grass for the Qi army, saying that it is raising, in fact, it is looting, and a group of troops are sent out, sweeping all over the country, and the troops are greatly weak. Ding Wei of Guangping and Zheng Xiaoyang of Langya County seized a rare opportunity and converged in one fell swoop, Ding Wei gave up Guangping, and the whole army broke through Tian Fucheng's interception and entered Langya County, Ding Wei's arrival not only made up for the loss of Langya County these days, but also raised the morale of the city to a peak.
Tian Fucheng made a big mistake in a panic, he transferred Tian Jingwen's department that confronted Huang Zhan at the foot of Qinglong Mountain directly to Langya County to maintain his advantage in troops, but as soon as Tian Jingwen went, Huang Zhan immediately became active, Huang Zhan did not go to Langya County, but marched to Xinhui in a grand manner, threatening this fortress that the Qi army had taken with great difficulty.
The situation in Langya County immediately became delicate.
Just when Tiandan stormed the Kunshan Pass, the cavalry led by the infantry had already entered Chima, and the independent cavalry divisions of Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei had also arrived at Cuiping Mountain, and a war of extermination against Wei and the 20,000 Qi cavalry was about to begin.
