Section 817 Bloody Battle of Abadan (3)

"After several days of continuous attack, 5,000 people were killed every day, and on the first day of the use of chemical bombs, more than 8,000 people were killed, and the number of wounded was the same as the dead, and since the beginning of the war, our army has lost 50,000 people and 50,000 wounded!"

He had 200,000 infantry under him, and the loss of half of them was not trivial, but Fan Wuxian's voice was flat and there was no fluctuation in his voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is death, if you really want to fight until there are no soldiers available, then he, the general, will fill it in by himself!

How can you not die when you are a soldier, although the Western Army tries its best to avoid the dead, but when it is time to die, no one wants to run!

Fortunately, Wei Xi brought a large number of reinforcements to arrive, so he didn't have to rush into battle, Fan Wuxian thought about it, and listened to Wei Xi say: "Our army has suffered such casualties, the enemy should die more than us, how many enemies are there in this city?" ”

"There are about 300,000 defenders!" Fan said without injury.

"300,000 defenders!" Wei Xi muttered: "It seems that there are gaps in our intelligence system, and we underestimate the big cannibals." ”

As soon as the words came out, Chief of Staff Jiang Shi pleaded guilty to him: "Our intelligence is wrong, we didn't do it home, resulting in a lot of casualties in our army, I'm sorry General Fan, I beg the prince to punish him!" ”

At the beginning, the military information he gave was indicated: Abadan, 50,000 defenders, 100,000 people.

I didn't expect that the enemy was doubled, and the pressure was great, if it was the original number of defenders, the city would have been defeated a long time ago.

200,000 attackers fight 300,000 defenders, this is reversed, and it is also a loss to Fan Wuxian, if it weren't for the Western Army's catapults and bows and arrows that are too perverted/perverted, and vigorously help, let alone strike at the enemy city, I am afraid that it will be laughing in vain.

The intelligence is not allowed, it can be big or small, Wei Xi waved his hand, and then revealed it: "It is not possible to do without intelligence, but intelligence is not omnipotent, and it may not always be accurate." It's good that they are gathered together, we don't have to work too hard, come more, kill more, and wait until the city of Abadan is defeated, and the rest of the city can be passed on! ”

He said with a fierce look on his face: "If Abadan's city dares to resist our army, there is no need to let the Bodhisattva Holy Light shine on them, and from today onwards, I will not throw the Bodhisattva Divine Elephant to the city (I will not play the matter of collecting all the Dragon Balls to summon the Divine Dragon), and hurt so many of my lives, Lao Fan, I will leave it to you, just let it become a dead city!" ”

"Obey the order!" Fan Wuxian bowed down to receive the order.

Jiang Shi summoned the personnel of the General Staff and said: "The enemy situation is unknown, our intelligence is wrong, although there is a reason for the incident, but after all, a mistake is a mistake!" ”

At that time, it was not easy to collect intelligence, even if the Western Army attached great importance to intelligence work, after all, there was no aerial reconnaissance, radio transmitters, etc., although there were agents in the city of Aladan, but when they encountered martial law in the city, they were not allowed to enter or leave, so they stared dryly.

Jiang Zhi was neat and neat, and punished himself with 30% of the year's salary, and the others were fined 10%!

Everyone accepted the punishment and secretly felt pain, but they didn't dare to blame Wei Xi and Jiang Shi, but scolded the big cannibal angrily.

Speaking of which, Khaled, the defender of Abadan City, is also a powerful character, and originally sent him 50,000 troops to defend Abadan, but when he went to see the caliph, he tried his best to determine that the focus of the Tang people's attack must be in Abadan!

"The Tang people attack our two rivers region, Abadan City is the top priority, even if the river defense other cities are lost, from Abadan City to send a naval army upstream, the Tang people are hindered in the rear, they will not be able to move forward, and they will not be able to exert their strength!"

"Whoever has insight among the Tang generals must first take the city of Abadan, and our army will strike at it under the city to achieve the attrition of His Majesty the Caliph

The caliph thought he was justified, gritted his teeth, and gave 100,000 soldiers!

Khalid got the army, arrived at the city of Abadan, immediately cut off the internal and external barriers, did not let the news leak out, and then vigorously recruited the four strong to enter the city to defend, and the conscription reached 200,000!

His strategy was very effective, so that Fan Wuxian could not get the information and gathered a crowd to attack.

If Fan Wushu knew that Khalid had so many people, he would have besieged him with another tactic, and within three months, Khalid would have defeated himself!

Because he doesn't have so much food!

In fact, when Khalid stuffed a large number of soldiers into the city, the civilian officials in the city were already worried, where could they get so much food!

For two consecutive years, the Western Army spared no effort to attack the food supply in the country, and the cities had fallen into a state of famine, and there was really not enough food.

Khalid scoffed at the civilian concerns about the lack of food, and confidently told everyone not to worry.

Sure enough, after the start of the war, the Tang people suffered heavy losses, and almost 100,000 people died in the city, and the pressure of eating was immediately relieved!

……

In Fan's uninjured military tent, the generals gathered together.

However, there were a few more fresh faces in the crowd, and there were people in the middle of the handsome case who sat with Fan Wuxian and fought in court.

Fan Wuxian introduced: "This is the Changshi of Jiang in the palace, everyone knows it, and our orders are signed by him!" ”

Jiang Shi is the chief of staff of the army staff, and the orders of the Western Army are all issued by the staff and are in charge of military orders, so he can sit with Fan Wuxian, who is an old qualification.

"Jiang Changshi is good!"

"Hello Chief of Staff!"

The gossiping voice sounded, Jiang Shi stood up, made a circle and said: "This time, due to the inaccurate intelligence of the General Staff, everyone has been killed and injured a lot of brothers, I have asked the prince for my guilt, and the prince has promised me to make meritorious service and cooperate with you to conquer Abadan City!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, with Jiang Zhi participating, it was like a tiger with wings, and it was more certain to capture Abadan City.

The battle has reached this point, not only the casualties of the comrades, the size of the merits, but also the face of everyone, if you do not take the city of Abadan, you will not withdraw the troops!

Jiang Shi is a capable person, he helps everyone to attack the city, and the success is even greater.

Therefore, on behalf of the whole camp, Fan Wuxian warmly welcomed Jiang Zhi's arrival, saying that he would be able to break through the city of Abadan with one heart.

……

Jiang Zhi introduced his tactics, mainly to use his strengths to defeat the enemy's shortcomings!

"Our tactics can be divided into bayonets, hammers, anvils on trebuchets--- and continuous pressure on the enemy!" Jiang Shi explained.

"There are more telescopes that act as eyes and ears, directing trebuchets, and in addition to stationary trebuchets, mobile trebuchets also have portable trebuchets to shoot close to the city."

"More archers, spearmen, and oil bottles!"

"Condescendingly, watch where the enemy is assembled, and constantly inflict stone-throwing and bow-and-arrow damage on the enemy!"

"The infantry besieging the city is mostly armoured, and they will not hesitate to be injured by mistake!"

"Attack day and night, even if the soldiers can't go up, the throwing will continue day and night, and you must make people tired!"

……

Jiang Shi talked endlessly, and after a phone call, he discussed with Fan Wuxian and assigned tasks to the generals.

Later, what he talked about and the experience summarized after the war were summarized into a set of "Siege Encyclopedia", and in the future, the generals operated according to the rules and attacked the city.
