Chapter 484

Another 10,000 people...... Seeing that Gao Senqi was so crazy and wanted to go down, Gao Senqi was in a hurry after all. As for the Blood Qi Army, although the pressure on the entire front has suddenly increased a lot, the front is still very stable, and the officers at all levels on the front line are very keen on the adjustment and investment of troops, and they have tried every means to hold the front with small-scale troops. Due to proper scheduling, there were actually a few more soldiers resting than Ye Tao expected. In this kind of hand-to-hand melee with interlaced teeth, the superb individual combat ability of the Blood Qi Army has been fully demonstrated. Although the barrier outside the camp was not very high, the large stairs formed by the mountain became a very advantageous place for the Blood Qi Army in the defense. Seeing this advantage, Sun Bo, who was now wearing light armor to assist in coordinating the command of the front, even ordered to abandon the outermost camp and put the enemy in a little. The light infantry were divided into small groups to support and protect each other, while the soldiers of the guard battalion who were engaged in the battle were combined according to their own habits and formed small groups as well. The light infantry fighters prioritized maintaining the line and ensuring that the enemy did not rush through their defenses and threaten the archers on the second and third tiers of the barracks, while the warriors of the guard battalion used their combat strength to strangle the enemy's elite troops.

Staying on the second floor of the barracks, Jerro assisted in directing the archers to shoot the enemy one by one, while killing the enemy's officers and the tougher-looking individual soldiers. There are very few archers of this level in the whole world, and it is not difficult for him to stand there and shoot arrows at a certain distance, and he still has a lot of time playing tricks in this fierce battlefield. A series of beaded arrows, twelve of them, directly nailed a Northern Liao soldier to the ground. If it weren't for one of his own light infantry picking out and blocking his firing line, he had to temporarily raise his hand and let go of an empty arrow, and these twelve arrows would have directly solved a dozen enemies. There were also masters in the longbow camp, and some of them also had the intention of trying to compete with Zheluo, but seeing Zheluo's performance of such amazing skills, they could only be silent, and then made up their minds to practice more and more after they went back.

Letting the opponent enter the first-line position allowed the Longbow Battalion to fully exert its firepower, but it seemed to make the Northern Liao side see the hope of breaking through the defense of the Blood Qi Army. But Gao Senqi still felt that something was wrong, and a little later, he felt that the feedback from the front was wrong. The progress made by investing 10,000 people and not investing 10,000 people is exactly the same. The Blood Qiqi Army still defended their attack on the spot, and did not make a very strong counterattack, trying to expel them from the camp. Since the Northern Liao side had not yet understood the repair and rotation of the Blood Qi Army during the night battle, they had not yet discovered the strangeness inside.

Kanazawa personally led the soldiers of the guard battalion to fight on the front line, and there was already good news from the rear, and now everyone's morale is like a rainbow, and the combat effectiveness is extremely amazing. At this time, Ye Tao had already received a detailed battle report from the scout, and learned that Zou Shuangwen would come here as soon as possible to meet Ye Tao to discuss the next battle plan.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Tao said, "Let Zou Shuangwen not have to come over, I will leave these airship teams in Danyang here to start harassing and attacking the enemy army tomorrow." It turned out that those flying teams all followed Zou Shuangwen, trying to find a way to cross the river and go straight to the opponent's rear as soon as possible. I'm here...... It should be possible to hold on for more than two days. What kind of results can be achieved depends on whether Lao Zou moves fast enough. ”

Liu Yong also agreed with Ye Tao's opinion that it was impossible for the Northern Liao army to maintain such an attack intensity forever. They had already rotated at least half of their troops up in a day, and they hadn't repaired before attacking. Counting the previous march, the whole army has already tightened the strings, and if they can't continue the attack, the two sides will quickly fall into a stalemate. In fact, what Ye Tao said can last for two days is very conservative. Liu Yong felt that the Northern Liao army could continue to attack until dawn, which was already Gao Senqi's extremely powerful control of the army. The Western Route Army is indeed one of the strongest armies in the country of Northern Liao, and it seems that under the rapid growth of Dongping, the adjustment of Northern Liao at least in the Western Route Army has grown a lot. If Liu Yong was still in command of the Great Inner Guard, the army of Northern Liao would never have such endurance in this kind of offensive battle.

"When it's daybreak, take down the guard camp. Half of the trimmed heavy infantry is about the same. The front is enough to stabilize. Hold out until the other side retreats. My lord, try to keep as many mobile troops as possible. If you are not mistaken, whether the other party finds that Xiangning City has been conquered or finds that Zou Overseer's army is inserted behind enemy lines, I am afraid that they will have to flee. Heavy Infantry ...... Pursuit isn't a strong point. A staff officer said.

Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then do it." ”

Gao Senqi did not have this kind of calmness at this time, he personally crossed the river, came to the front line to observe, and felt more and more that the situation was wrong. The soldiers of the Blood Qi Army are certainly tired, but the Northern Liao military is also like this, and they still have to bear huge psychological pressure. When they attacked the camp of the Blood Qi Army again and again, and were beaten back again and again, this kind of deep fear and decadence in their hearts could not be solved by the encouragement of the officers or even the inspection of Gao Senqi. Gao Senqi watched the formation of the Blood Qi Army not move at all, and organized another strengthened assault of two hundred people on the spot, observing the movement of the Blood Qi Army with his own eyes. And in this attack, he saw Kanazawa, Jerra, and several other guards of the Guard Battalion whom he had photographed. Gao Senqi sighed and said, "Go back." It looks like there's little hope for today. ”

Returning to the command tent, Zhang Lixian listened to Gao Senqi talk about the soldiers of the guard battalion entering the battle, and was puzzled: "Major General, these should all be Ye Tao's personal guards, right?" Even the personal guards have already been thrown in, so if we work harder, won't we be able to take it? What do you say......"

"You don't know Ye Tao, he is not the kind of person who only cares about himself at the most dangerous moment. He is in the Blood Qi Army, and in the Blood Qi Army, at least there must be no internal response from our Northern Liao, right? Even if there were, just by his side Liu Yong, would anyone be able to assassinate him? It doesn't matter if the guards are around or not, he can naturally use them as a major battle force in this battle. And in the front, seeing that the soldiers of the Blood Qi Army were fighting in an orderly manner, they did not panic, and they gave up the first line of camps, just to kill and injure our army faster. Do you see what advantage we have taken advantage of after we broke through? Regardless of geographical gains and losses, but focusing on annihilation, attack and killing, this is also the style of Ye Tao, the Blood Qi Army and the Yunzhou Army. Moreover, if it was really an emergency, why didn't the heavy infantry come up, but go to the guard camp? Ye Tao had already considered the rotation of combat power. With this kind of backhand, at least for a few hours, there will be no progress. You see, how long can our sons and daughters hold out? ”

Zhang Lixian sighed: "What do you mean, young general?" ”

"Withdraw it. The pontoon bridge is ready to rush up at any time. After withdrawing, everyone repaired, selected elite soldiers from various armies, and formed an elite death battalion of at least 2,000 people. Tomorrow, first use the new force to rush away, wear down the sharpness of the Blood Qi Army, test its reaction, and then see if the death battalion can open a deep enough gap. As long as we can break through the front line of the Blood Qiqi Army and form a melee so that their longbowmen can't exert their power, we still have a chance. Gao Senqi commanded coldly.

"Yes, Major General." Zhang Lixian also felt that this was a good idea, and finally waved his hand and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Seeing that the Northern Liao army was slowly retreating, leaving only a few simple small bunkers built with layers of branches and arson fabrics on the river beach, the Blood Qi army breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers hurriedly took turns to rest, and the entire front of the battlefield was temporarily handed over to the guard battalion for vigilance and lookout. The entire camp was soon engulfed in snoring.

On the Northern Liao side, many generals who commanded the army were also very relieved, after this day's battle, the Blood Qi Army really scared them. From the original lack of understanding of the combat power of the Blood Qi Army, only hearsay and imagination, to now there is a pain in the skin, and the turning point in the middle is really too big. The Blood Qi Army was really strong, even stronger than they had expected. And what's even more terrifying is that no matter how you observe it now, the casualties of the Blood Qi Army should be more than three percent, but their morale is the same as before, let alone collapsed, even if they don't even feel that their morale has dropped in any way. This is too frightening, could it be that the Blood Qijun is a group of iron men without feelings?

At this time when the war was temporarily stopped, and both sides were so tired that they didn't have the strength to move, everyone didn't dare to slack off a little. Gao Senqi was certainly selecting elite troops and preparing to make another effort, while Ye Tao was also counting the various losses of the Blood Qi Army with the officers overnight, and he was still making various preparations. Piles of fire oil bombs were carried up the high platform, ballistas were recalibrated, and arrows and other items hoarded at the rear of the camp had to be redistributed...... Wounded soldiers must be treated in a timely manner so that small wounds do not endanger their lives. Although Ye Tao attaches great importance to the medical construction of the army, he does not have the ability to make antibiotics for the time being, and infection is still the most significant threat. Fortunately, the amount of all kinds of medicines hoarded by the Blood Qi Army is very sufficient.

By the next morning, it was the Blood Qi Army that had made all kinds of combat preparations first. The soldiers quietly entered the position, and one by one sat down in place in the combat position, waiting for another day of fierce battle to come. And Gao Senqi also discovered the group of airships that stayed above the camp of the Blood Qi Army at this time. Looking at the reinforcements that came from the sky, Gao Senqi sighed, he hoped that they were really from afar, not those who had been withdrawn from the battlefield in Xiangning.

"Let's get started." Today, Gao Senqi commanded. He was obviously not going to go back to "rest" today, he stood firmly in front of the command seat, holding a telescope to observe the position of the Blood Qi Army. The army crossed the river in a row on the pontoon bridge, and the heavy equipment battalion of the Blood Qi Army began to shoot at a relatively low frequency...... It looks like it's going to be a very dull day.
