Chapter 490: Warlord Dogfight Nineteen
Ling Xia has been confronting Baqibu from outside the city of Ziyan Territory for seven days, according to the battle plan deployed before, if everything goes well, it will only take about five days, and the battle guards in the city will be able to encircle and suppress the Japanese Invaders, even if there is an accident, the Japanese Invaders will be able to hold out for ten days at most.
The reason why Ling Xia is so confident is because compared to the Japanese Guards, there is a huge advantage on the side of the War Guards, that is, the War Guards have food supplies on their side, but the Japanese Guards do not have any food, even if the Japanese soldiers carry food and drinking water with them, they can only support them for two or three days at most.
Even if the Japanese soldiers are frugal, they can hold out for six or seven days at most, and after seven days, the Japanese will run out of food, once there is no food, the physical strength of the Japanese will be unsustainable, and their combat effectiveness will also drop exponentially, so Ling Xia is not afraid of time to drag on, in this case, the longer the battle drags on, the greater the advantage of the battle guards.
Ling Xia was calm, but Baqibu was in a hurry, although he didn't know how the battle was going in the city? But he didn't want the army to be blocked inside, in order to break through the city gate and city wall, so as to facilitate the evacuation of the Japanese in the city, Baqibu organized several attacks from outside the city gate, and wanted to break the city gate outside, but Ling Xia watched Baqibu tightly and didn't give him a chance at all.
During the confrontation with Baqibu, Ling Xia made full use of the advantages of the cavalry corps under his command, and kept letting the cavalry interfere from the outside, as long as there was movement on Baqibu's side, the cavalry on Ling Xia's side began to wreak havoc, in addition to the confrontation, the two sides also fought hard several times, although Ling Xia's side was cavalry, but the strength of Baqibu's side was twice as much as Ling Xia's.
If the pirates did not have catapults and black oil to rely on, the cavalry on Ling Xia's side could completely overturn the two legions of the pirates, but because of the consideration of the other party's catapults, the cavalry did not dare to pursue deeply.
Seeing that Baqibu used catapults to scare his cavalry at every turn, Ling Xia simply let it go, he asked the cavalry to arrange the catapults on the crossway at the gate of Ziyanjiang City, Baqibu wanted to lead his troops to break through the city gate, he had to pass through this crossway, and Ling Xia gave an order, as soon as he saw Baqibu and the Wakou, he would directly use the catapult to smash it.
In this way, Ling Xia successfully dragged the Baqi cloth, so that he could not break through the city gate to release the trapped Japanese invaders, although Ling Xia did not know the situation in the city, but at this moment the battle guards have an advantage, there is no doubt that the battle guards have the advantage, with Nangong Xiongba's ability to open the mountain, even if it is impossible to completely annihilate the Japanese in a period of time, but the besieged Japanese can not jump for a few days, after all, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great.
Ling Xia has already calculated, as long as he holds on for another three or five seven days, Nangong Xiongba and Niu Kaishan will be able to exterminate or capture the Japanese in the city, and by then the wood has been completed, even if Zhongyuan Sakuraki sent reinforcements to rescue the Japanese invaders, he can only return in vain, and after Xu Zhoujiang's victory, Ling Xia will integrate Xu Zhoujiang's troops, send troops to prestige Xinjiang, and force Xia Yuanjie to withdraw his troops and stop fighting.
There is a way that the plan has not changed quickly, just when Ling Xia was busy containing Baqibu, suddenly, a piece of news reached Ling Xia's ears, the evening before yesterday, Xia Yuanxiao, Xia Yuantu, Yu Qianqiong, and Ye Menglong each led two corps to attack Ziyanjiang, and the eight major corps divided their troops into forty roads to attack the city at the same time, and Maple Leaf Xinjiang and Moyujiang undertook food supplies, and Ziyanjiang was in a hurry......
