Chapter 60 Three Gains and Losses
Pius couldn't believe his ears, even if he was defeated, but there was no reason for the Dils army to catch up with him? Moreover, when he was pursuing, he sent scouts to investigate everywhere, but did not find the main force of the Dilcs army in ambush, so where did the enemy army come from to seize the defensive line?
One point that Bius overlooked was the waterways. From the very beginning, he had in mind that the enemy fleet was a means of transportation for food and escape, but he ignored that it was also a means of attack. Wei Song used the illusion of boarding his troops to create the illusion of trying to retreat by water, but in fact he crossed the Naura River with 10,000 men under his command to participate in an ambush against the Vultures' forces. After completing a multi-pronged ambush against the Vultures' pursuing forces, the two generals, Dara and Zaran, drew up their spare forces and once again attacked the Aswanda line by water.
The defensive line that had been drawn with 50,000 troops became very weak, coupled with the sudden attack, and there was no capable commander like Bius on the defensive line, which led to the rapid collapse of the entire defensive line, except for the sporadic troops who were still resisting with strong strongholds, the Aswanda defense line had fallen by the time Bius arrived.
In fact, if someone could look down on the entire war zone from above Yaki, he would be able to see it clearly. Wei Song's plan maximized the use of the limited strength of the Dils army, and later generations of war historians have evaluated Wei Song's plan differently, with some believing it to be a miraculous example of mobile warfare, while others believe that it is a groundless and pure suicide. The reason is very simple, that is, Wei Song's battle plan this time is too risky. The slightest mistake will end in failure, which is not an orthodox use of military art. Rather, it is a thaumaturgy. But in fact, Wei Song succeeded, whether it was luck or other factors. And he did.
With the fall of the Aswanda Line, the armed forces of the Yaqui Army on the Western Front were destroyed, and Bius had to flee to Durban with the remnants. In addition to arranging for the continuation of the pursuit, Wei Song also freed up some troops to cross the Nanluo River again to support Li Tianhao on the Eastern Front.
The focus of the war returned to the city of Aswanda on the Eastern Front. While Pius was suffering immensely between the plains of Efortans and Aswanda, the situation in the east had changed dramatically, albeit not, unlike on the western front, that it had not changed decisively.
Because Vultures came to his senses in time, and he found that the follow-up troops were not following up, he resolutely abandoned these troops when he realized that the other side had already begun to move. only led the men and horses of the headquarters to rush back to Aswanda City as quickly as possible, which barely stopped Li Tianhao's actions.
Even in this hurry, Vulture was still one step slower than Li Tianhao, and Li Tianhao's troops had already begun to attack Aswan City.
Li Tianhao's army did not fall from the sky, how could it launch an attack on Aswanda City so quickly? It turned out that he had already begun to lay out the layout when he stormed Aswanda City, and due to the fierce attack, the Yaji army and the Vultures were exhausted, so they ignored Li Tianhao's sneaking troops in the surrounding area. Later, Vultures confirmed his judgment by discovering the enemy's rearguard troops, and this was overlooked in the rapid deployment, which finally allowed Li Tianhao to successfully sneak attack. As long as people are convinced that their judgment is correct. will ignore some things that they think are no longer important in their minds, this is a common disease of human beings, and Vultures is no exception, and Wei Song and Li Tianhao set up this game in response to this.
When Vulture rushed back to Aswanda. The southern walls of Aswanda were on the verge of falling, and the Dils were storming the gates.
The arrival of Vulture was somewhat unexpected by Li Tianhao, originally Li Tianhao wanted to achieve suddenness. The number of soldiers lurking is not large, and he has been able to do this step completely by the momentum of the surprise attack and the trust of the soldiers in him. At this time, if someone attacks him from behind, Li Tianhao may not be able to withstand it.
Attack! Li Tianhao resolutely gave the order. Just delay for a moment or three. The southern city of Aswanda has been breached, as long as you enter the city, it is a matter of time before it completely falls, and the key is whether you can delay this little time!
Since the main force was all engaged in siege warfare, Li Tianhao only led 300 people to meet the troops of Vultures.
This was the first time Vulture had personally experienced Li Tianhao's strength. Since both sides understood that whether or not they could rescue Aswan City was related to the outcome of the battle on the Eastern Front, the supreme commanders of both sides personally took command of the battle, and Li Tianhao rushed to the front line in order to boost morale. Where the halberd waved, the blood flashed in front of people's eyes like a rhythmic note, and Li Tianhao was the embodiment of death who composed this movement.
Seeing the soldiers of the Yaki Army continuing to retreat, Vulture was really anxious: the city of Aswanda was in danger, and if even these three hundred people could not break through, then everything would be over. Even the soldiers of the Priest Army rarely saw the Vultures in battle, because Vultures believed that as long as he relied on his command ability, it was enough to win, but it did not mean that Vultures lacked the courage to fight in person. Although Vultures knew from the opponent's actions that he was no match, the honor and responsibility of the military commander made it imperative for him to meet him here. He drew his saber and led his priestly soldiers to the top.
Before Vulture's saber reached the attack distance, Li Tianhao's halberd had already come closer. If it were someone else, he would have used his saber to block, but Vultures didn't, his left hand, which had been empty, had already grasped the handle of the javelin in the saddle. Knowing the strength of the other party, Vultures made up his mind in an instant, throwing his javelin at the closest distance, and even if he died, he would die with the other party!
Vulture's desperate efforts saved his life. In terms of Vulture's martial arts, he is not the most outstanding, and even if his martial arts are enough to be proud of General Yaki, he cannot compare to Li Tianhao. But as soon as he took a picture, he was going to fight to the death of the net, which was indeed beyond Li Tianhao's expectations, and the javelin he threw at ultra-close range did make Li Tianhao startled, and he had to fight to dodge at the moment, at this time, Vulture's saber almost cut off Li Tianhao's shoulder armor, and in the eyes of others, Li Tianhao was at a disadvantage at that moment!
After a move, Li Tianhao suddenly saw the opponent's catties, and he swung his halberd at Vulture with a backhand, who knew that this was Vulture who actually jumped forward with a clamp on the horse's belly, and the halberd cut off Vulture's tail!
Vulture's desperate blow and the subsequent knife can be said to be a full-strength blow that condenses Vulture's strength and wisdom, but these two moves actually failed, and the shock in Vulture's heart is far greater than Li Tianhao's. At the moment, he didn't dare to fight at all, so he rode his horse and galloped away, Rao was like this, the horse's tail was cut off by Li Tianhao, and Vulture only felt that his vest was in a cold sweat. Fortunately, after this staggering, it would take a little time for Li Tianhao to return to the horse's head, and Vulture had already commanded his priest army to protect himself by taking advantage of this opportunity. The biggest difference between the priest army and the Yaji army is that they will not retreat, it is not so easy for Li Tianhao to break through the barrier of these people to kill the eagles, and what is worse is that after such an encounter, Li Tianhao's assault is equivalent to overkilling, failing to kill the enemy's main general, but being left behind by the enemy. Vulture's soft and practical command ability made it seem that he had planned it all in advance, but in fact, it was really conceived by him in an instant, and this alone was enough to put countless generals to shame.
Vulture, who barely got rid of Li Tianhao's block, did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight to the south gate of Aswanda City. At the moment when the Dils army was about to break through the south gate, the vultures stopped the tragedy, although they paid more than 600 casualties of the priest army of the headquarters, the vultures still broke up the siege of the Diles army, and the fierce battle lasted until the night, Li Tianhao had to give up the attack.
