Chapter 338: Hengzhou and Huizhou
【The third shift is delivered】
Feng Ye has been fighting in the south and north for decades, and it is the first time he has faced such an embarrassing situation, obviously the number of troops led by Feng Ye himself is more than five times that of the enemy, but he is chased and beaten by the enemy.
Feng Ye also used various tactics to deal with Lin Zhe's army, but without exception, all failed.
For example, in the night battle, under the cover of night, Feng Ye's army launched an attack on Lin Zhe's army camp, but Feng Ye's army had just approached Lin Zhe's army camp more than 200 zhang away, and the night actually turned into day, Feng Ye's army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat, and at the same time, there were some more magical legends about night turning into day in Feng Ye's army.
For example, in the raid of martial artists, Feng Ye organized five innate grandmasters and a hundred high-level martial artists to raid Lin Zhe's army, but the firearms of Lin Zhe's army were too powerful, even if the strength was as high as the sixth order of the innate martial arts master, they would be injured under the dense firepower, not to mention the martial artists whose strength was lower than that of the innate ones.
As for various tactics such as ambush and encirclement, Feng Ye also used them many times, but they were broken one by one by the cautious Lin Zhe.
In the end, such a situation will appear: Feng Ye's army can only hold on to the cities of Duqu County, Lin Zhe's army conquers the cities one by one, and eats Feng Ye's army one by one, Feng Ye's army cannot resist and has no ability to resist.
If Feng Ye's army can't hold out and the road to conquer the pass is opened, then Feng Ye's army will be completely wiped out by Lin Zhe's army.
The battle on the battlefield of Hengzhou continues, and a major battle is also breaking out in Huizhou, the neighbor to the north of Hengzhou.
On June 19, Wang Shuo led an army of 200,000 to the south, targeting the five great families of Su, Shenmeng, Li and Hu in Huizhou.
The Su and Shen families had a total of 80,000 Huizhou troops, the Menglihu family had a total of 90,000 horses, and the five major families together had a total of 170,000 troops, which was 30,000 less than the 200,000 army led by Wang Shuo, and Wang Shuo's army occupied a little advantage in strength.
Among the five major families in the alliance army, the Huizhou army, which is known for its elite, and Wang Shuo's army also has the tiger cavalry formed by Wang Shuo himself, and the tiger cavalry still makes up for 10,000 places, including 3,000 heavy cavalry and 7,000 light cavalry.
The heavy cavalry is simply invincible on the battlefield, charging into battle, irresistible, Su and Shen have suffered the loss of heavy cavalry, in order to deal with the tiger cavalry, the family alliance army has prepared a variety of equipment such as horse repellents, traps, tripping horses, and thistles.
At the beginning of the war, the five great families decided to refuse to defend the city, and used the city to consume the strength of Wang Shuo's army.
However, Wang Shuo's army was so easy to deal with from time to time, and before the war began, Wang Shuo ordered people to build various siege equipment in the south of Yuanzhou.
With these siege equipment, the losses of Wang Shuo's army in the siege of the city are smaller, but they are still more than the family alliance army, but Wang Shuo still does this, Wang Shuo wants to subdue all the people under his command who are not completely obedient to him in this war against the five great families or eliminate them by the hands of the enemy.
Wang Shuo's name as the god of war is not for nothing, as soon as Wang Shuo appears on the battlefield, the morale of Wang Shuo's army will skyrocket, and Wang Shuo personally led the army to charge into battle, and the cities in Huizhou were quickly conquered by Wang Shuo's army.
However, Wang Shuo also knew that the real war had not yet begun, and when the two armies fought a decisive battle, it would be a big battle with a total strength of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, and even if it was a decisive battle, it would be separated from time to time in a day.
Of course, Wang Shuo firmly believed that he could achieve the ultimate victory, not only by defeating the alliance of the five great families, but also by defeating the Yun clan and becoming the new ruler of Guannai.
Wang Shuo was also a little surprised when he learned of the change in form on the battlefield in Hengzhou, the 150,000 Tang army could not defeat the more than 30,000 Yun army.
The Yun army is good at winning more with less, but it is the army of other families in the Guannai, and the recruits in those armies account for a large proportion, and there are not many recruits in the Tang army, but the Yun army still defeats his enemies.
Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Wang Shuo's emotions were also excited, since Wang Shuo stepped into the battlefield, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he would win every battle, in Wang Shuo's heart, the five great families were not worthy of being his opponents, and the Yun family was Wang Shuo's only opponent, and the only opponent who could make Wang Shuo take it seriously.
Two months passed in a flash, and both the Hengzhou battlefield and the Huizhou battlefield reached the final decisive battle.
In Zhending County, the last city controlled by Feng Ye's army in Duqu County, Hengzhou, Feng Ye led 50,000 horses to carry out the final desperate resistance, Feng Ye didn't know how much time it would take to open the Zhengguan Road, Feng Ye could only resist the enemy's attack as much as possible.
Feng Ye also wanted to understand one thing in his heart, even if the Zhengguan Road was opened before Zhending County was breached, Feng Ye would lead his soldiers and horses to withdraw from the Zhengguan Road to the Tang Empire, and dissuade the emperor from destroying the Zhengguan Road and not attacking the Guannei for decades.
The strength of the Yun clan army has almost frightened Feng Ye, this is the first time that this situation has occurred in Feng Ye's southern and northern wars for decades, if he can choose, Feng Ye is really unwilling to take the Tang army out of Guannei, in Guannei, there are already nearly 200,000 soldiers who have fallen on this land.
"I am a sinner in the Tang Empire." Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, Feng Ye had muttered this sentence many times, in Feng Ye's heart, as long as he could return to the land of the Tang Empire to complete the last thing in his heart, Feng Ye was willing to apologize with death.
One by one, the shells fell into the county town of Zhending, where there were only the Tang army and no ordinary people, and the county town was strengthened by the Tang army, and the resistance to the shells increased, and the soldiers in the city also found various ways to dodge the shells.
It's just that Zhending County is so big, if you want to be able to survive in Zhending County, it depends entirely on luck, and if you are unlucky, you will be killed in the first wave of shells of Lin Zhe's army, and if you are lucky, you can hold on to the end.
A decisive battle is being fought on the battlefield in Hengzhou, and the final decisive battle is also being fought on the battlefield in Huizhou.
On the plain north of Huizhou City, the 120,000 armies of the five great families and the 130,000 Wang Shuo armies fought here.
In two months, the loss of Wang Shuo's army reached 70,000, which was 20,000 more than the loss of the alliance of the five great families, but after two months, Wang Shuo had a stronger ability to control the soldiers and horses under his command.
Compared with the almost one-sided "massacre" on the city of Hengzhou, the battlefield of Huizhou can be described as a real bloody battle, Wang Shuo's army and the family alliance army are mixed together, and countless soldiers fall on this land every moment.
In order to block the tiger cavalry led by Wang Shuo, the family alliance army came out with all means, which could resist the tiger cavalry, but could not prevent the tiger cavalry from leaving.
It was not until both sides were exhausted and it was difficult to tell the winner that the two sides withdrew their troops and fought again in the coming day.
