Chapter Eighty-Five: Bombing the Camp
More than 1,000 wounded were brought back to the camp, where they could only lie down and wait for death because of the lack of medical treatment, and they kept wailing, which led to the demoralization of the entire vanguard army.
The morale of the army has always been at the bottom, and if it weren't for the fear that if you become a deserter, you might be implicated in your family, and there may have been deserters in the army long ago.
And the sudden night attack of the captive army became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Vanguard, bomb the camp!
It started with the wounded barracks, then quickly spread around, and it didn't take long for the entire vanguard army to fall into disarray.
There is even a momentum to spread to other barracks!
Tens of thousands of troops were penetrated by hundreds of cavalry of the Dangling Army!
Although more than half of the hundreds of cavalry casualties were killed and wounded in this army, this was still a big victory!
Hu Poyu's face was also full of shock, he didn't expect that he would be able to achieve such a result, originally he just planned to cross the Western Xia army camp, and then return to Zhehe City, who would have thought.
The Western Xia army was unexpectedly bombed in one rush!
Their night attack burned the grain and grass of the Western Xia army, and it would definitely not work if they wanted to go back to Zhehe City by the same route, and the cavalry of the Western Xia army was not vegetarian.
In the process of their hundreds of horsemen returning to the city, there were enough iron horsemen in Western Xia to swallow all the scum they swallowed.
Hu Poyu decided to take a gamble and cross the camp of the Western Xia army, if he could catch the Western Xia army by surprise, maybe he would be able to successfully return to Zhehe City.
But he never thought that his gamble would achieve such a big result, and the Western Xia army bombed the camp!
"Oooh......"
"Oh......"
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Long live the Grand Governor! Long live the Sweepers! ”
“……”
Luckily killed through the camp of the Western Xia army, the surviving cavalry of the Dang Captivity Army cheered excitedly, did not dare to stop at all, and rushed towards Zhehe City.
……
At the head of the city, Chen Yan looked at the chaotic Western Xia army camp and smashed his mouth.
It's just a pity that it's only one military camp that is in chaos, not all of them, otherwise Chen Yan would have the idea of leading the army out of the city to add fire to the Western Xia army.
Chen Yan sighed, turned around and went back to rest.
Back in the room, Liu Yueying helped Chen Yan untie his cloak, Chen Yan sat behind the desk, and began to write something on the desk.
Chen Yan's textbooks have been copied to high school, except for the Chinese language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, biology, Chen Yan is copying out.
As for speaking English......
Chen Yan said that reducing the burden on dolls began in the Song Dynasty!
He wants the whole world to learn Chinese, and as for English or something, go to death!
Chen Yan sorted out the textbooks systematically, but they did not spread on a large scale, and before the system of the Dangling Army was not strong enough, these things could only be circulated among a small group of people.
For example, those students of Chen Yan and the veteran craftsmen in those workshops in Anping County, but even so, they only know some scratches.
Emma, which is almost equivalent to the level of elementary school students in later generations!
But even so, he is an absolute genius in this era!
Those things that have really reached depth, Chen Yan will not release them until he dominates the world.
……
On the second day, when the sun rose again, the pale golden sunlight shone on the earth, and the vanguard army of the Western Xia army that bombed the camp gradually calmed down.
The barracks were in shambles, the ground was full of corpses, blood was flowing everywhere, the soldiers were scuffling together, many people died, everything was so shocking.
Richard Geha dared to send people to the vanguard army camp to check after dawn, but the final statistics made Richard Goha almost vomit blood.
Nearly 30,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 7,000 were wounded, the barracks were completely destroyed, and all the grain, grass and ordnance in the barracks were destroyed.
And that's not even the worst of it.
The rear army camp was attacked, and it almost bombed the camp, but fortunately, the main general Ye Lirong was ruthless enough, and it took dozens of people to barely stabilize the situation.
However, the grain and grass in the rear army camp for the entire army were partially burned.
Even if Brother Ye Lirong hurriedly organized people to put out the fire, at least one-third of the grain and grass were lost, and the army's already not abundant food was now nervous.
Richard Geha's eyes looked gloomily at Zhehe City in the distance, his eyes were full of hatred and blazing killing intent.
The vanguard army was completely abolished, and the 30,000 casualties were almost eight or nine thousand, plus the soldiers they died in the defense of the city, the casualties had exceeded one-third.
Even if the Western Xia were aggressive, after losing more than one-third of an army, it was almost abolished.
If they are sent to the battlefield again, unless it is a good wind to harvest heads, it is very likely that they will encounter a nail with a difficult point, and they will collapse directly, or even lead to a rout of the whole army.
And although these people in the vanguard army can't be dragged to the battlefield, they still have to be fed with food!
The Western Xia army was already short of food and grass, so this is really disgusting!
If they can't be in half a month...... No, the current grain and grass are not enough for half a month to consume, at most ten days, if you can't break the city within ten days.
This elite army of Western Xia is likely to be completely finished in the absence of food, and by then, Western Xia may be almost finished.
"Have the people who went to a big tribe to ask for Han Chinese slaves have returned?"
Richard turned his head to ask one of his own soldiers.
"The marshal is not yet, even the nearest tribe has to travel for a day, and they are afraid that they have not yet arrived."
The pro-soldier said honestly.
Richard Geha sighed, his eyes staring in the direction of Zhehe City without blinking.
"Prepare for the siege! Within ten days, take Zhehe City! ”
"No!"
The second siege of the Western Xia army began, but this time it was not the original Zhehe city defenders who were in front, but the elite army drawn from the Song-Xia border.
The morale of the Western Xia army was like a rainbow to launch an attack on Zhehe City, and the Danglu Army and the Beggar Army also felt great pressure, and their offensive strength was much stronger than that of the original Zhehe City defenders.
Whether it is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers or the morale of the army, it is not comparable to the original fold and the city defenders.
However, it still didn't work!
The defensive line composed of the Danglu army and the beggar army was still solid, and the Western Xia army attacked for a whole morning, and there was nothing else to gain except for the hundreds of corpses left under the city of Zhehe.
For a whole morning, the Western Xia army was not able to set foot on the head of Zhehe City, and where was the part of the city wall that was blown down, it had long been turned into a meat grinder.
There were more than 700 Western Xia soldiers killed in the battle, and more than 400 were filled in that gap!
After a morning, the Western Xia army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and the Western Xia army, which had suffered heavy losses, had to retreat, and Richard Geha's eyes were full of unwillingness.
The Western Xia army withdrew, and the Dang Capture Army was also relieved, the Western Xia Army suffered heavy losses, and the losses of the Dang Capture Army and the Begging Army were not small.
