Chapter 325: Breaking the Formation

"What about the casualties now?" After stepping into the command tent again, . .

"It's a big win...... An unprecedented victory. Dai Shiheng pressed his right hand lightly, and sat down an officer who jumped up and was about to report the numbers. Before you know the numbers, make sure that the first thing you want to pursue is victory. ”

Ye Tao already knew at this time that although the casualty figure may not be really amazing, it must be quite impressive. He had been in front of him, and he had seen quite a few sergeants fall beside him. Although it was the first time he had seen such a scene, it still deeply touched his heart. He knew that he would never be able to get used to or even like such a scene.

"Since the battle is big, if you can't win, those sergeants will really die in vain. I admit it......" Ye Tao sat on a stool on one side, and the two guards immediately stepped forward to remove Ye Tao's armor. Ye Tao has been fighting for a long time, and in this kind of weather, the consumption is conceivable. The cotton and linen blend that Ye Tao wore inside the armor, and the samurai suit with pure cotton shoulder pads was almost completely soaked with sweat. Even, Ye Tao had begun to emit a somewhat sour smell. This smell was mixed with the thick bloody smell emitted by the armor, perhaps, it was the smell of the battlefield.

"So far, the total number of battalions engaged in the battle on our side is thirty-three battalions, all of which are troops within the regular establishment of Yunzhou, and even include four garrison battalions. There were also six or so battalions of reserves, including three auxiliaries from the Invalides Farm Ranch, and 10,000 tribal warriors sent by the Golan in advance. Golan himself also led more than 20,000 tribal cavalry, which, if completed, could appear on the battlefield at any time, and they were less in need of supplies than we did. Dai Shiheng said eloquently: "In addition, the troops who are also engaged in the battle are your guards and airships. In general, the combat situation is good. At present, the number of enemies destroyed has exceeded 120,000, and the exact number is not yet known. Our combat attrition is now about 17,400 men, of whom 8,900 were killed. ”

These numbers made Ye Tao dizzy, and almost the entire three battalions of sergeants died in this way. Naturally, Ye Tao also understood that this was indeed an absolutely considerable victory with a casualty ratio between the two sides, but no matter which leader the troops, he always hoped to kill as many enemies as possible, and the smaller his own damage, the better.

"Alas...... We must take good care of the families of all the dead and seriously wounded soldiers......" Ye Tao sighed.

Dai Shihuan didn't speak, he continued to think about it, and said, "Grind for a while, and then put the tribal cavalry and those auxiliary soldiers into the battlefield together and launch a general attack." The time is almost up. In addition, I have ordered the airship team to replenish and immediately come and attack the enemy. If you can go down in one go, that's the best. I still hope that the problem can be solved before Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun's troops come to the battlefield. ”

Dai Shihuan still didn't get his wish. After a while, Jia Qingyun came to the battlefield with a cavalry. Although these only a few thousand cavalry were far from being able to change the occupation, they greatly boosted the morale of Xiling's army.

"Dashuai......" Jia Qingyun rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowing in front of Jiang Xujing's war horse. The end will be ...... later"

"Where's Sigui?" Jiang Xujing stroked his beard and asked.

“…… Thinking of Him...... He died in battle. Jia Qingyun didn't dare to look up.

Jiang Xujing's body shook a little, but he didn't seem to feel much surprise. "Are those...... Those things that fly in the sky? ”

Jia Qingyun trembled and said, "Dashuai...... This...... I really don't know how to resist it. ”

"You get up, rest for twenty minutes, and then you take your part and give me a storming of Chi Lei's wing, and I will provoke him and entangle him. You...... Can it be done? Jiang Xujing asked.

"The last general will live up to the great expectations." Jia Qingyun said seriously.

Seeing Jia Qingyun away, Jiang Xujing let out a long sigh. Now he can only do his best, but what the result will be, Jiang Xujing himself does not know. In his eyes, a group of airships flying so leisurely in this mild wind weather appeared. This time, the formation of the airship group was more dispersed, and it was loaded with more fire and fuel bombs. Knowing that the flight distance was much shorter than just now, but the requirements for the amount of ammunition delivered were higher, this time the entire airship team chose to carry light fuel, freeing up weight and loading a lot of fuel bombs.

"Captain, Main Command Tower Order: Attack at will." The herald looked at the flags and light boxes on the main command tower and reported.

"Brothers, do you hear that? Feel free to attack! "I watched as all the signal boxes on the airships repeated the command and gave a response. The airship team was formed into two loose rows, and the slightly lowered height began to spread over the heads of Jiang Xujing's army.

One by one, the oil bombs were thrown down like this, and the airship tried to find the place where the crowd was most dense and dropped the oil bombs. Due to the limited space on the battlefield and the fact that there are so many people, almost every fire oil bomb can burn a large number of people. The wail of being ignited directly by the fire oil bomb made the people around him more and more frightened. Even the slightest splash of light oil burned by the fire oil bomb makes people feel unbearable.

"Spread out...... Spread out ......" Jia Qingyun hurriedly helped evacuate, but the Yunzhou army began to advance steadily with the heavy infantry as the vanguard after a little respite, and there were airships shuttling back and forth from time to time throwing fireballs, this kind of scene is really not something that the soldiers of this time and space can easily deal with.

"Dashuai...... Be careful! An officer whipped Jiang Xujing's mount on the buttocks, and the horse sprang out a few steps at once, but finally dodged an inaccurate fire oil bomb.

Jiang Xujing had palpitations, but more of annoyance. It's been so many years of fighting, but it's the first time I've encountered such a situation where I don't know how to deal with it. If you want to say that you have dealt with gliding bombs before, it is just a kind of weakness, but the accuracy of gliding bombs is really not so reliable, although it has been beaten more and more frustratingly, but it has passed with one eye open and one eye closed. Now it's different, the casualties caused by the shuttle airship are okay, and it doesn't seem to kill many people at a glance. But the army was in such a mess, especially the courage to fight that a large number of soldiers had almost lost, that it was impossible to deal with it at once.

"All-army assault." Jiang Xujing raised his sword high and ordered. The troops of the last two towns, which had been waiting for a long time, also moved, slowly accelerating, and rushed towards the battlefield.

"All-army assault." At this time, the same order also spat out from Dai Shihuan's mouth. Immediately, Dai Shihuan said to Ye Tao: "Ye Shuai, you are here to take charge." Old decay to loosen the muscles and bones. With that, Dai Shihuan stood up from the sand table and strode out of the command tent, and outside, not only him, but Dai Shijin had already stopped. The two guys, who were not too young, rode out of the Chinese military camp with their own soldiers side by side, heading towards the battlefield. Seeing Dai Shihuan and Dai Shijin on the battlefield together, the soldiers once again clamored. For many small soldiers, today's battle is too worthwhile, their commanders have been fighting side by side with them, the old patriarch and old commander of the Dai family, the new general of Yunzhou, the prince of Dongping, and the envoy Ye Tao...... For many, seeing even one or the other is a luxury. And now, these people are with everyone. The image of their loud command is deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers.

Ye Tao was not used to commanding this kind of battle against the sand table, so he climbed the main command tower in three steps and two steps, and gave orders completely through signals and command flags. Although Ye Tao knew that he still had to stick to this post at the moment, he did not hesitate to put the Guards Cavalry Battalion and the Guards Infantry Battalion into the battlefield again......

"Wan Sheng! ......""Wansheng! ……”…… With each order, the soldiers shouted a passionate shout, and marched in neat formations, cooperating with each other to deal with the enemy in front of them. The morale of the Yunzhou army is high, there are many troops, the cooperation between the arms is skillful, the armor protection is thorough, and the weapons are sharp and sophisticated, so it can be said that they are good at winning, but now the Yunzhou army has a great advantage: the air. When their opponents need to pay attention to the top of their heads at any time, the Yunzhou army begins to have a great advantage. It is true that the Yunzhou army is indeed tired now, but under the domination of a strong desire to win, this fatigue is ignored at this moment. Will this euphoria continue until the end of the war? In fact, both sides are now psychologically uncertain.

The decisive moment finally came, and when the remnants of Jia Qingyun's Ni Sigui Department finally appeared on the horizon, Jiang Xujing was almost unable to cry. Just a moment ago, relying on the two rounds of covering bombing of the airship team and the continuous concentrated attacks of the heavy weapons battalion, the right flank led by Chi Lei finally broke through Jiang Xujing's left flank. Because the scout cavalry is not good at conducting battles, Chi Lei is mainly led by a mixed force of Tieyun Cavalry and Jingyun Cavalry, which has always been unaccustomed to use, and when Tan Weiran kindly handed over the archer battalion that had been used as a reserve in the middle to Chi Lei, Chi Lei seemed to have suddenly discovered the feeling of attack. The kind of play that retreats at the touch of a button, and then constantly relies on killing and wounding to make the enemy's forces hollow, and then launches an interspersed charge, can be said to be very difficult and dexterous. And noticed that Chi Lei suddenly made smooth progress, Dai Shihuan, who was commanding at the front, Ye Tao who was on the command tower, and Tan Weiran in the middle of the road, and even Chi Lei himself asked to strengthen and strengthen him along the way. The consequence of the strengthening was that he actually directly cut through the military formation of the Zhenbei Military Division, and Chi Lei personally led a cavalry detachment of 2,000 people directly behind the enemy......

Jiang Xujing's Chinese army was facing Tan Weiran's oppressive fighting style, and he suddenly couldn't muster his strength to intercept the cavalry that had chiseled through Chi Lei's back. Jiang Xujing was a little aware at this time that the formation was about to be broken.
