Chapter 487: Burning Shimen Mountain
"Kill, kill, kill."
The sound of bayonets, swords, and countless weapons clashing together. The soldiers on both sides were mechanized wielding weapons in their hands, harvesting each other's lives. The blood mist exploded in the air, and one soldier after another fell, like stubble harvested by a sickle.
The battle had been fought for half an hour, and less than a third of the more than 8,000 prisoner troops were still alive at this time, and the corpses on the ground were piled up, exuding a fishy smell of blood. The Prisoner Army is still a prisoner in the end, and it is far from being an opponent for a professionally trained professional soldier like the Qin Army. Although the front army also paid two or three thousand casualties, the Qin army was still able to maintain the offensive queue at this time.
On the contrary, looking at the prisoner army, they have been beaten a little crushed at this time. The prisoner army has been completely confused by the Qin army, and they are completely following Chen Sheng's actions at the moment, fighting without any rules, and they are completely holding on.
"Mingjin, Chen Sheng can't hold it." In the rear, Feng Zheng commanded at the heralds on the left and right.
The purpose of letting Chen Sheng lead the prisoner army to take the lead was to consume the new force of the Qin army. It's just that Feng Zheng didn't expect that Fusu actually sent elite troops at the beginning. Speaking of this first battle, Feng Zheng was defeated, but Feng Zheng also knew it, and he expected that he would definitely be able to take Shimen Mountain. Let Chen Sheng withdraw, but he was also afraid that the whole army would be wiped out in this first battle, which would affect morale.
"Go, go, go." The sound of gold resounded throughout the battlefield, and the sound sounded in the ears of the prisoner army as if it were heavenly sound.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."
Before Chen Sheng could give the order, the remaining soldiers of the Prisoner Army shouted. The troops were withdrawn, and the order was ordered to be withdrawn. Although they didn't take the line of defense in front of them, it was the people above who ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and it was not their fault. They survived, and from this day forward they are no longer prisoners.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Suddenly, there was a fierce explosion in the retreating army of prisoners.
"Take the way out, don't fight." Chen Sheng yelled.
At this time, the prisoner army had been beaten and confused, forgetting that there were mines planted on the way to retreat, and many people were killed in a hurry when they got carried away. This made everyone's morale drop a lot in an instant.
"Poor Kou Mo chase, let's retreat to the next line of defense." Fusu stopped Zhao Que and others, who were preparing to pursue, and took the initiative to evacuate the first line of defense.
"Childe, our battle is a big victory, why do you want to withdraw?" Zhao Que asked with some puzzlement.
"Although it is a big victory, but in fact, our troop losses are two or three percent, one or the other, Shimenshan Development Zone is too big, we may not be able to defend it." Liu Bang said with a sigh.
"Lord Liu also thinks we can't hold it?" Fusu asked.
"It's all my own family, so I won't say anything polite. Shimen Mountain is too big, and there is no city wall to defend it, so we can't defend it with our troops. Now that we have given up the first line of defense, we will have to abandon the second line of defense once the enemy is attacking and our forces have been reduced to a certain extent. ”
"The enemy attacks, the strength is lost, and the defense is contracted, this is an endless cycle with no solution. Once our defenses shrink to a certain extent, then we will really become a turtle in an urn. Liu Bang analyzed it clearly, and this person does have a set of strategies in terms of strategy.
"What Master Liu said is right, we really can't hold it for a long time. I'm betting, let's bet that before the teacher leads the army back to help, the rebels won't be able to break through Shimen Mountain. Although we don't know exactly how many troops Feng Zao has in his hands, it won't be much more. As long as we hold out until the teacher comes back to help, once the siege begins outside the city, Feng Zheng will inevitably take care of one and lose the other, and then it will be time for us to cooperate with the outside and the center to bloom. Fusu said.
"From the accident on our side, to the news to Yuecheng, and until the Hou Ye led the troops back to help, it will take at least five days to come and go, and we have to defend for at least three days." Zhao Que thought for a moment and said.
"Three days, I'm afraid it's not easy to keep." Liu Bang said with a sigh.
"Do your best and let it be the fate of heaven." Fusu said.
On the periphery of Shimen Mountain, the prisoner army has withdrawn to rest. Chen Sheng came to Feng Zheng with a bloody face and said, "Damn, I can't even take down the first line of defense, it's really embarrassing." ”
Feng Zheng didn't blame Chen Sheng, he stared at the Shimen Mountain area with blazing eyes, and after a long time, he said, "If nothing else, they have already withdrawn." ”
"What?"
"They obviously won the battle, how can they say that they will withdraw." Chen Sheng asked a little puzzled.
"We're fighting this battle to deplete their troops, but they're going to win a big battle to boost their morale. The goal was achieved, and they naturally withdrew. There are not many people in Fusu's hands, and it is impossible for him to defend all of Shimen Mountain. If I'm right, they're trying to drag on with us right now. Feng Zheng said slowly.
"General Feng, we can't drag them down. In case it drags on, what Rong Lu is waiting to come back to help, and then the turtle in this urn will be us. Chen Sheng hurriedly said.
"How does General Chen Sheng think this battle will be fought?" Feng Zheng turned his head and asked.
"General Feng, let's burn it. Start setting fire from the outside, burn them inside, and burn them all inside. Chen Sheng said ruthlessly.
"Chen Sheng, do you know how many good things there are in this Shimen Mountain? Countless treasures of gold and silver, mountains of goods, and state-of-the-art weapons. Feng Zheng stared at Shimen Mountain in the darkness and said in a low voice.
"General Feng, what we have in hand is ours. There are a lot of good things in Shimen Mountain, and that's not ours. Storm Shimen Mountain, not to mention whether Shimen Mountain can be captured before dawn. Even if we can barely take it, how many brothers will we have to die. After this battle, can we still hold Zexianyang City? ”
"General Feng, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. Only by setting fire to Shimen Mountain can we take Shimen Mountain before dawn, and our troops can also be preserved, only in this way can we compete with Li Chen. Chen Sheng advised.
To say that Chen Sheng was even slightly better than Feng Zheng in terms of strategy, he must have that Feng Zheng just lacked systematic tactical learning. Chen Sheng's strategic judgment was completely correct, their biggest enemy was not Shimen Mountain, nor the Imperial Palace. These two places are like poisonous sores on their bodies, disgusting, but not fatal. If there was no threat from Li Chen outside, it wouldn't take long for them to clean up these two places.
It's just that now they need to be on guard against Li Chen's return to help, once they lose too many troops in Shimen Mountain, then how can they resist Li Chen's return to help.
Since the establishment of the Shimenshan Development Zone, it has collected countless wealth from the grassland people for Daqin, which can be said to have made a huge contribution to the improvement of Daqin's GDP.
"General Chen, from now on, you will take command. It doesn't matter how you beat me, I want you to take Shimen Mountain before dawn. "Feng Zao is a monkey spirit person, and he threw this hot potato to me Chen Sheng in an instant.
