Chapter 206: The Battle for the Defending City Twenty

Ling Xia asked people to take out the herbs in the warehouse that were packed in wooden boxes, and dozens of large wooden boxes were placed at the door of the warehouse, the scene was spectacular, after retiring his subordinates, he quietly configured it himself, because there were successful examples before, so Ling Xia was very handy when configuring, and it only took half a day for him to prepare more than 30 boxes of hemp boiling.

After all the medicinal materials were consumed, Ling Xia stopped, and then, Ling Xia ordered the military doctor to grind these hemp boiling into medicinal noodles, and packed them in an airtight one, after hearing the order, the military doctors began to get busy, and they were busy all night before grinding those medicines into powder and filling them in the jar.

Because Ling Xia was equipped with a super powerful hemp boiling powder this time, and when the military doctor was grinding the powder, a military doctor inadvertently sniffed the ground powder, and as a result, he instantly passed out, seeing that the medicine effect was so violent, all the military doctors were startled, and hurriedly tied the towel to their noses, so as not to smell the powder and pass out.

Two thousand four hundred jars of medicinal foam were neatly placed on the ground, watching these finished hemp boil and disperse, Ling Xia called Yue Qianfeng and Ji Mo to him: "Later, you send someone to take these jars away, the medicines in them can completely turn the tide of the battle, but they can only be used once, so you must use them at the critical moment."

Up to now, we have been stationed for 25 days, and the task assigned to us by the war zone is to defend the city for 30 days, and in five days, we can withdraw the defense, but the enemy will not let us retreat safely and steadily, and the next attack, the enemy will inevitably do their best, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a bloody battle. ”

"Master Pony, if we really want to fight, what should we do? Do you want to fight each other? Even with the help of these medicine pots, the difference in the number of the enemy and us is too great, there are only 75,000 people on our side, while the enemy has 500,000 people, and the other party has suppressed us with just his momentum, and the brothers are not confident enough. Yue Qianfeng sighed.

"What's lacking? Isn't it half a million enemy troops? Thinking about the 300,000 enemy soldiers killed last time, the brothers will have confidence, and besides, do I just count on these medicine jars? Tell the big guys that I've made a careful plan to make sure nothing goes wrong. Ling Xia's face was full of confidence as he spoke.

Looking at Ling Xia's calm and confident expression, the worry in Yue Qianfeng's heart dissipated a lot, and after chatting with Ling Xia for a few words, he ordered his soldiers to move away those jars full of hemp, and when Yue Qianfeng left, the composure on Ling Xia's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of worry and heaviness.

After inspecting the city wall, Ling Xia came to the camp where Fu Qingyun was, at this time Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu happened to be here, everyone went straight to the point with a little greeting, Fu Qingyun and Nangong Xiu and others were not optimistic about the current situation, especially Xiang Kunlun, he was responsible for protecting the safety of Fu Qingyun and generals at all levels, when he learned that Nakashima Snow Bank had wanted to attack the camp of the guards at night, he was full of worries about the safety of the generals every day.

"Ling Xia, although I am the commander of the legion, but I am not as good as you in terms of military deployment, this is a matter of life and death, let's not care about what position is inferior, everyone work together to tide over this crisis, let's be honest, do you have any good solutions? Able to withstand enemy sieges? Fu Qingyun asked bluntly.

"Yes, General Ling, we also obey your ability, there are only five days left before the end of our defense mission, and the enemy's purge work has also been completed, it is estimated that they will attack the city soon, this time it is a life-and-death battle for you, to be honest, none of us want to die, so as long as you can find a way to resist the enemy army, we will listen to you." Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu expressed their stance at the same time, letting Ling Xia take the idea to resist the enemy army.

Ling Xia groaned for a moment, then got up and said: "Since the corps commander and the two division commanders have talked about this, then I won't shirk it, I really have a plan, if it is implemented properly, it may be able to withstand the attack of the enemy's five legions, but this plan can't be relied on by us alone, it needs the cooperation of the other two legions." ”

"You mean the First and Second Legions? They are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they have all been driven to hide in Tibet, how can they have the ability to cooperate with us? Xiang Kunlun shook his head, feeling that Ling Xia's plan would not work. Not only Xiang Kunlun, although Fu Qingyun and Nangong Xiu did not speak, but looking at the expressions of the two of them, it is estimated that they are the same as Xiang Kunlun.

"Although the situation of the First Army and the Second Army is more difficult, they must come to support us, because once the enemy army breaks through our defense line, then they will close our remnants and the two legions in Dongcheng, and then the enemy's seven legions will join forces to encircle them, and everyone will be finished, so we are grasshoppers on the same line."

Speaking of this, Ling Xia walked up to Fu Qingyun and said unhurriedly: "The corps commander can give General Gao a letter to explain the pros and cons, as long as General Gao is willing to come forward, the first and second legions will definitely come to Beicheng to help us, my plan is this, draw a division from the first corps, and let this division and regiment flow around."

Let's use a division to attract the enemy's attention, quietly transfer the remaining forces back, with the distance between Dongcheng and us, it will only take one day to reach the battle line, according to the current situation, the enemy will come to attack the city by tomorrow morning at the latest, and when the First Army and the Second Army come to help, it should be in the white-hot stage of the siege battle.

Through these offensive and defensive battles, I found a flaw in the enemy's army, that is, they always line up large troops on the front line, and hoard grain, grass and materials in the rear, although this arrangement can ensure the safety of logistics materials, but there is also a hidden danger, that is, once the front-line troops carry out the siege, their rear camp will be empty.

And this is our only chance to turn defeat into victory, when we hold the city wall and find a way to bring all the enemy's large forces over, so as to cause a defensive hole in the enemy's rear, and at this time, our two legions attack the enemy's logistics troops from behind, destroying their food, grass and all supplies.

The enemy army has a full 500,000 troops, and if so many men and horses run out of food, grass and materials, not to mention three meals a day, and even the tents and quilts for camping at night are gone.

Without food, grass and material replenishment, they will never dare to stretch the army line, grain, grass and materials are destroyed, they can only go back to the corps base camp to replenish resources, and then turn back after they go back to replenish grain and grass, this time back and forth will take at least seven or eight days, and at that time we have completed the deployment and withdrawal of troops, although this plan is a little disgraceful, but it is our only way. ”
