Chapter 1244: Invitation to Battle
Ma Yue stood under the banner and watched indifferently at the desperate struggle of the soldiers on both sides in front of him, and now he knew why in the battle of the Tiger Prison, why the counterattack of those armies he had tangled up had failed.
The Ming army in front of them had fought in the Tiger Prison, and now, when facing these Ming troops, the strongest Thunder Army of the Qin State, not only could not take advantage of them at all, but was faintly suppressed, especially in front of these humanoid beasts in the miners' camp, they were completely suppressed. Previously, he wanted to lure out the miner battalion so that they would lose their mutual cooperation with the giant wood battalion, but now they have fallen into a situation that is not embarrassing, the general of the miner battalion is extremely cunning, the battlefield experience and observation are very good, and his troops stop at a critical node, so that the Thunder Army cannot advance or retreat. can only hardly hold on to the opponent's round after round of blows, trying to break through the military formation of the miners' battalion. But at this time, the formation of the miners' battalion is getting thicker and thicker. Behind the heavy infantry, their ranged weapons had already followed, causing great damage to the Thunder Army's follow-up forces.
Ma Chao brought almost 40,000 Thunder Army here, but it doesn't mean that he can put 40,000 cavalry into battle in one go, because the terrain is in the system, in front of the two enemies, he can only deploy more than 10,000 cavalry, but even these more than 10,000 cavalry have been filled with space.
Cavalry attacks are no more than infantry and they need more space.
The heavy loss did not make Ma Yue move in the slightest, like a sculpture, he calmly looked at the hellish battlefield of Shura. Time slipped away quietly, and the Thunder Army's onslaught on the Giant Wood Camp finally paid off, and they began to shrink their defenses. And the miners' battalion also began to shrink backwards in order to maintain unity with the battle line of the giant wood battalion.
After an hour of fighting, the Thunder Army finally took a big step forward.
The morale of the Thunder Army was greatly boosted, but the experienced Ma Yue knew that the battle was just beginning. The greater the retreat of the Ming army, the greater their density will be, the thicker the front will be, and the more difficult it will be to break through.
But now, it is obviously impossible to chisel through and divide the Ming army.
Ma Yue didn't care about the casualties of the soldiers at all, for him, every time he consumed an elite soldier of the Ming army, it was worth it. At this moment, whether it is an attack here, or a battle on the other side of Yongdu City, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to attract all the attention of the Ming army, so that his son Ma can go as far as possible, the longer the battle is fought, the greater the casualties caused to the Ming army, and the safer the horse will be.
The current Qin State is hopeless, so he has to use this last strength to alleviate some obstacles for his son's future. A strong army is not something that can be trained in a short period of time. Now every time the Ming army consumes a point of strength, the difficulties encountered by Ma Chao, the son of the other day, will be a little smaller.
Ma Chao guessed that after Daqin was destroyed by the Ming State, within two or three years, the Ming army would inevitably take action against the Chu State, and the Qi people would naturally not sit idly by and watch the Ming people occupy the Chu State again to strengthen their own strength, and they would definitely send troops to intervene, but no matter what, the chaos in the Chu State was inevitable, and this was the opportunity for his son. If he succeeds, then in this troubled world, it is not impossible to rise.
The enemy after the Ming Kingdom is Daqi, two strong tigers meet, it will inevitably fight in the dark, the sun and the moon have no light, their attention will only remain on each other's bodies, those who are weak, but will be ignored by them, the so-called heroes in troubled times, nothing more than that.
Just like Qin Feng back then, who would have thought that a small border lieutenant in Chu State, an insignificant mountain bandit in Yue State, would actually make a career as big as his mouth.
Is it really important for Ma Yue to destroy the other party's logistics camp or not?
The answer is no.
Even if he can defeat the enemy in front of him and destroy the enemy's baggage camp, he will inevitably bear the counterattack of the Ming army in the future, and all the Ming troops here are enough to destroy him.
What he has to do is actually use everyone's lives to firmly attract the attention of the Ming army.
On the Shuanglian City, Qin Feng looked at the increasingly white-hot battle, turned his head to the generals beside him and said, "Raise my royal flag and the military flag of the Agni Death Battalion, and tell Ma Yue that I am here and welcome him to attack me."
"Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers and horses in Shuanglian City, if Ma Yue tries his best to attack, we will have a hard time dealing with it." The general hesitated a little, "There is still half an hour before Yu Chao's wind-chasing battalion and horse monkey's cavalry arrive, and an hour later, General Huang's Ruijin battalion and Dazhu's mountain-shaking battalion will rush to the battlefield."
"You think we won't be able to hold up for half an hour?" Qin Feng laughed: "In half an hour, they can fight to the city, which is good. Raise the King's Banner, let's take a little relief from the pressure on the Miners' Battalion and the Giant Wood Battalion."
In the Shuanglian City, the Great Bright Sun and Moon Banner with gold edges, which represents Qin Feng, is rising, and next to it, the hideous battle flag of the Fire Death Camp is also waving in the wind. Hunting in the wind.
As the general said, there weren't many soldiers in the city. Most of the soldiers equipped in the twin cities are technical troops and auxiliaries, and all the wounded battalions have been transferred in, and those soldiers who have been slightly injured naturally put on armor at this time, picked up weapons and walked to the city, not in the field, but they can also manipulate countless long-range weapons.
At this time, the concentration of ranged weapons in the twin cities is dense enough to make any attacker feel desperate.
And as the main armed strike force, it was Qin Feng's own 3,000 Agni Death Battalion. Originally, the fire death battalion of 5,000 people, Qin Feng let the horse monkey take away 2,000 to form a new war camp, and the remaining shortfall has not been filled, the soldiers of the fire death camp are replenished from two aspects, one is the brave soldiers drawn from the various armies, on the other hand, it is the recruit with great potential, and now the Ming Dynasty is attacking the Qin State, and on the other hand, he is confronting the Qi State in the direction of Zhaoguan, Qin Feng does not want to draw elite soldiers from the front-line army to join his own personal guard army at this time.
But the 3,000 cavalry of the Agni Death Battalion is already a force that is enough to make people tremble.
"Your Majesty, please let me go into battle to kill the enemy!" A voice came from behind Qin Feng, Qin Feng turned around, and saw that Shu Wan and Xu Lai had actually put on armor and appeared above the city with a group of their subordinates.
The martial arts cultivation of these two people was extremely skillful, but Qin Feng didn't want them to go to the battlefield.
After all, no matter how good the martial arts are, among the thousands of troops, the role it plays is not particularly big, Qin Feng doesn't want a high-tech person like Shu Wan and Xu Lai to have anything in case, if something really happens, then he has no place to cry.
"Two, your mission is not to kill the enemy!" Qin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Doctor Shu's battlefield is in the wounded barracks, every time you save a soldier, that is to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, Master Xu's battlefield is on the transformation and repair of our weapons, and every additional weapon with great lethality is much better than if you go to the battlefield in person."
Seeing that the two of them still wanted to argue about something, Qin Feng waved his hand and said directly: "There is no need to mention this matter, we are winning this battle, how can there be a reason for you to go into battle, please go back!"
Dropping this sentence, he turned his head to look at Xu Sanmei: "General Xu, I guess that Ma Yue will definitely launch a crazy attack on Shuanglian City next, when the enemy breaks through to Shuanglian City, I will lead the fire death battalion to attack, and the guards on the city will be handed over to you. There are not many soldiers and horses in the city, but the weapons are extremely sophisticated, and those who operate the weapons are no worse than the soldiers outside the city, you just need to defend the twin cities."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Sanmei said loudly.
Qin Feng nodded at her with a smile, turned his head to the pro-soldier generals beside him, and said, "Gather all the soldiers of the Agni Death Battalion and assemble at the gate of the city."
"Yes!" The general shouted in response to the order and turned away.
Ma Yue turned his head in the exclamation of the cronies and guards around him and saw the bright sun and moon flag waving in the wind in Shuanglian City not far away. The Ming Sun and Moon Banner inlaid with gold borders is only qualified to be raised by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, the military flag of the Flame Death Battalion with the double knife frame skeleton in the raging fire is the side of the Wang Banner.
Where the Agni Death Camp is located, the Ming Emperor Qin Feng will inevitably appear there.
Ma Yue giggled.
Cao Hui of the ghost shadow is really right, here in Shuanglian City, it is a big trap, a hook to lure him to come to the decisive battle. But what does it matter? Cao Hui just wanted to let himself stay in Yongdu City for a longer time and let Qi Guo get some benefits, even if he knew that Qin Feng was coming, this was a trap, he would still come without hesitation.
If you really want to shrink back and let the Ming army block all the main roads in Yongdu to death, how can Ma Chao have space to leave this dead land and fly to another vast sky?
You think you have a plan, but unexpectedly, you are also in my arms!
He turned his horse's head, looked at the Shuanglian City where Qin Feng was, and laughed coldly: "Since you have invited me to fight, then I will fight, if I can drag you to hell before my Great Qin fails, it will be a real surprise."
With a choking sound, Ma Yue pulled out the long sword in his waist, pointed at Shuanglian City, and shouted: "Attack, target, Shuanglian City!"
In the sound of war drums and horns, Ma Yue, who was originally in the rear, personally led tens of thousands of cavalry and rolled towards Shuanglian City.
In Shuanglian City, although there are not many soldiers and horses, outside Shuanglian City, all kinds of defensive flags are extremely complete, especially those small wires hidden half a foot underground, which are even more lethal to cavalry.
Seeing the rolling thunder cavalry rolling over on their backs in the traps, Qin Feng laughed and drew his knife, turned around and walked towards the gate of the city.
"Third Sister Xu, the city is handed over to you."
