Chapter 902 Breaking the City (for all monthly passes)
Liu Mingzhi looked at the guards who were swarming out of the watershed city, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
The strategy is still slightly better than himself, although it is still essential to have a big battle, but the loss has been minimized without attacking the city!
"Order the three armies, not to cut off the head, and use the enemy's identity card to calculate the merits of the battle!"
"Order!"
Remembering the appearance of the six guards cutting off the enemy's head and hanging it on his waist during the first large-scale field battle in Cheshi Country, Liu Dashao was a little disgusted.
Although this can effectively deter the enemy, it can also become a burden to himself, Liu Dashao remembers most clearly, at the end of a major war, a soldier with thirteen heads tied with hemp rope around his waist, holding a rice bowl, talking and laughing with his comrades, a chill rose.
Liu Dashao thought it was an exaggerated statement in the history books, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Liu Dashao realized that it was not an exaggeration at all.
Use the enemy's head to declare your bravery, and the dynasties have been there since ancient times!
The officers and men of the three armies received Liu Mingzhi's order not to cut off their heads, and there was a trace of regret in their eyes!
The 150,000 army left 20,000 to defend the city, and it took a few quarters of an hour to rush out of the city gates.
When the Great Dragon Army stopped four miles away, Shahanru did not realize that something was wrong, after all, the smoke and dust raised by the Keqing River showed that the Great Dragon Cavalry was being killed by Danar and fled.
More than 50,000 war horses rushed and rushed towards the Great Dragon Army.
Liu Mingzhi held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the Dawan cavalry with smoke and dust billowing and began to chant silently: "Three, two, one!" ”
The location of one mile is only in the blink of an eye, and 20,000 soldiers have prepared more than 30,000 traps to play a big role.
The cavalry charged, and the horse's hooves fell into the pit, and the fate can be imagined.
The vanguard of the cavalry at the north gate and the south gate lost tens of thousands of people in an instant, and they were desperate on the spot!
The neighing sound of the war horse could even be heard clearly by Liu Mingzhi, who was three miles away, and could only be described as miserable.
Shahanlu was a fool when he found out that something was wrong, because he didn't know when Danar's Moon Clan King Banner was gone, and it was replaced by a big dragon dragon flag flying in the wind!
However, it was too late to withdraw the troops back to the city, and the cavalry led by Cheng Kaiduan could not bear to outflank the Dawan cavalry.
The east gate was also blocked by the three thousand sword and shield soldiers and three thousand archers that Liu Mingzhi had transported over in vain.
"Ye Baotong, catapults bombard the enemy's infantry phalanx, and the eight bull crossbows respond to Cheng Kai's cavalry!"
"Order!"
"Jiang Lei! Immediately ordered to open fire, the amount of shells remained the same, there were more people there! ”
"Order!"
"Han Peng!"
"The last general!"
"This commander wants to see if you, the cavalry commander, will command the foot soldiers, the sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the 80,000 archers will fire in three stages and three in a row, and each person will consume ten feather arrows!"
"Order!"
Shahanlu was furious, and Liu Dashao was also angry, and when he came up, the whole army charged and launched the most fierce attack!
The Dawan guards, who were less than one-third of the armor rate, were able to move in the hands of the Great Dragon soldiers, and they charged towards the Dividing Water City with a howl like a wolf.
Shahanlu immediately arranged for the shield bearers to defend against the attack of the Great Dragon Army, but now it is impossible to return to the city, so he can only fight to the death!
"Archer, shoot back!"
Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 archers began to shoot their feather arrows towards the phalanx of the Great Dragon Army, and the phalanx of the Great Dragon Foot Soldiers inevitably suffered casualties.
After a round of arrow rain was fired, the artillery exploded, and the catapult bombardment, the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun returned to the 80,000-strong Dawan guards.
The shield can block the bow and arrow, but it can't stop the power of the artillery, and every time the cannonball explodes the cannonball, there will be a gap and a dense corpse among the Dawan guards.
In terms of cavalry, Liu Mingzhi admitted that he was not the opponent of the Dawan cavalry, but the infantry and attack side of the Dalong soldiers, who had a 100% armor rate, were invincible in land battles, and it may be a little arrogant.
At best, there are few opponents!
80,000 archers consumed 800,000 arrows in a short period of time, which is simply an astronomical amount for other generals, but here in Liu Mingzhi, it is simply an ordinary thing that can no longer be ordinary!
"General, there are still about 30,000 people left in the six phalanxes, and the general trend has gone to surrender!"
Sha Hanlu looked blankly at the big dragon sword and shield soldiers who had not rushed to the front of him a hundred paces away, and the soldiers under his command who had been shot into hedgehogs by arrows were all weak.
More than 30,000 people died under the catapult artillery and arrow array before the handover of the short soldiers, which is simply an unacceptable fact for himself.
"Shaboye, how is the cavalry?"
"I don't know when the big dragon people secretly dug a trap in the horse pit, the cavalry directly converted into tens of thousands, we still don't know what the situation of the remaining 40,000 cavalry, we still don't know, we fell for the trick of the commander of the big dragon, Danar is simply the enemy army of the big dragon pretended, let's be fooled, surrender, another wave of arrow rain will be wiped out, roughly estimated that only three waves of arrow rain will be nearly 800,000 arrows!"
"Surrender, it's all General Ben who is too stupid and fell for the enemy, General Ben is sorry for you!"
"The general has an order, put down your weapons and surrender!"
320,000 people fought 150,000 people, there were catapults on the left, artillery on the right, and the middle was covered by a rain of arrows, so it can be said that there was no suspense about victory.
The geographical advantage occupied by Shahanlu was simply reversed by Liu Mingzhi's strategy one after another.
"Marshal, Shahanlu has led his soldiers to surrender!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the sun setting in the west and sighed: "Collect weapons and don't kill prisoners!" ”
"Order!"
After spending three days, Dawan's frontier city and Fenshui City finally planted the dragon flag of the great dragon and the banner of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Shahanlu, who was escorted by his own soldiers, nodded and signaled, and rode towards Fenshui City.
After climbing the city wall, Liu Mingzhi looked at the tragic appearance outside the city and sighed, if there was no strategy to trick Shahanlu out of the city, most of the corpses lying on the ground would be the soldiers of Dalong and the soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance.
The fierceness of the siege can be imagined.
Night fell, Liu Mingzhi held the battle report in Cheng Kai's hand, and his face was a little miserable.
"The strength of the three times Dawan cavalry has actually lost tens of thousands of cavalry, is the gap so big?"
"Da Shuai, the Dawan cavalry would rather exchange their lives for a life than pull our cavalry on their backs, the fierceness is unimaginable!"
"More than 3,000 cavalry were killed in direct battle, and the damage from the infantry under the cover of the artillery catapult arrow array is negligible, but the loss of this cavalry is a little difficult to accept!"
"How many cavalry are left in Dawan?"
"More than 27,000 people, all in the prisoner camp!"
"The old rules, learn from them and immediately kung fu, our shortcomings must be faced calmly, although most of the soldiers who lost are coalition soldiers with a low armor rate, but what does it mean that three thousand dragoons have suffered different degrees of light and severe wounds? Riding is not good! ”
"Heavy armor to protect the body, but was attacked by the leather armor-clad Dawan cavalry under the horse, this is an absolute gap, you must know that the defenders of Fenshui City have been hungry for a long time!"
"Order!"
"Shuai, guess what good stuff I found!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the elated Han Peng and put down the battle report in his hand: "How many horses?" ”
"Seventy-eight horses, all of them are first-class sweat and blood BMWs, sweat and blood BMWs!"
"Pretty, find a way to tame!"
"Yes!"
"The handsome Shahanlu is here!"
"Please come in!"
"Yes!"
Shahanlu was escorted into the main hall by his own soldiers, and Liu Mingzhi hurriedly greeted him, although he was an opponent, but Liu Mingzhi admired Shahanlu's talent.
You must know that in the past few days, you have been coming and going, Liu Mingzhi has drunk several bowls of tonic soup, and Shahanlu is the first general to make himself so energetic!
"General Sha, this handsome Liu Mingzhi is polite!"
Gu Mo Rongrong translated the past, and Sha Hanlu looked at Liu Mingzhi coldly.
"If you hadn't used treacherous tricks, how could General Ben have become your subordinate prisoner, you won't be able to win! You may not be the opponent of this general! ”
Liu Mingzhi listened to Gu Mo Rongrong's translation and smiled helplessly.
"General Sha, why does this commander have three million feather arrows to meet you in a short battle? The way of using soldiers is originally to deceive me, this commander doubles your strength, occupies the fierceness of artillery, the advantage of catapults, and the power of the arrow array, if you choose to engage in short arms, it is irresponsible to the soldiers under the command of this commander! ”
"80,000 foot soldiers, you consume 800,000 feather arrows, this is the confidence you want to try your best to force Ben Shuai out of the city to fight?"
"That's right, Ben Shuai's soldiers have always been covered with a rain of arrows, foot soldiers charge, and cavalry detours! You are not unjustly defeated, few people can make Ben Shuai so hard! ”
"It's too late for Shahan to repent, it's too late to repent!"
