Chapter 687, Bloody Guard

In one day, nearly two hundred thousand people fell on the way to the counteroffensive, and of course, they took more of the enemy. Killing the red-eyed soldiers, until Ming Jin withdrew his troops, some of them did not react and died in vain.

The later you get to the game, the more difficult the fight becomes, if you put it ten years ago, a battle of this scale on the flat ground could lose two or three million in a day, nearly one-third, but today's game, it has not yet exceeded one million.

It's not that the strength of the Jiangdong Army has weakened, but that others are catching up. In contrast, the improvement of the strength of the Jiangdong Army was too slow, not to mention that it could not catch up with those big princes, and even the gap between it and some small princes could not be widened. The Jiaozhou coalition army is this kind of alliance of small princes, and after the baptism obtained in the war, its strength has increased significantly. Liu Feng wanted to speed up the promotion of generals through this war, and he hoped that soldiers would advance and train special troops.

Compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he is much late.

……

Although the quality of the people in the game is far beyond reality, the consumption of war is greater, no one is iron, and everyone is tired after a day of fighting. But the rest that should be rested, and the rest that should be on duty is still on duty.

The big tent of the Chinese army in the camp was brightly lit, Bai Jian, Liu Ye, and Buqi were discussing tomorrow's tactics, but in some of the tents in the dark, some people couldn't sleep.

Dong Xi is one of them.

Very early, Liu Feng was initially determined to meet Ji County, and he joined the Jiangdong Army, when he was only 5th rank. In the past twenty years, he has advanced to the 6th order very early, but he has been hovering at the peak of the 6th order all these years, and if he wants to advance, he has always been a little behind. He served as a county magistrate to govern the locality, and also participated in the battles of Lujiang and Hefei, thinking that he was not lazy in it, and even worked harder than others, but the result was still the same.

Is it talent? He doubted himself more than once, but those big men in the army had praised his talent, and had given him encouragement when he was confused, telling him to take his time and not be in a hurry, and even the lord had praised him. Every time he thinks about this, he builds up his confidence in himself again.

Before the Battle of Jiaozhou set off, he decided that he must advance in this war. It's not that there is not enough time, but for him, there are not many opportunities. There are more and more talents gathered under the lord, and the rising star is gradually growing, and if he does not advance early, there will be fewer chances in the next war. The strength of the seventh order will become the standard for leading an army.

"Work hard!" He closed his eyes and reminded himself again.

……

Not only Dong Xi thinks so, but Zhang Cheng also encourages himself.

As the second generation of officials, his father held an important position in the Yangzhou Pastoral Mansion, which can be said to be the top few figures, and he will naturally gather all kinds of eyes, and envy and jealousy, there are those who hate and cannot be replaced, and of course, there are also flattering and clinging people...... But these are all because of his father's aura, and few people know how much pressure he has been under and how much effort he has put into it.

In the face of other people's strange eyes, he can only bury all his thoughts in his heart, no one knows how strict his father is with him, the same thing, he has to behave better than others to pass the test with his father. He was originally a civilian, and he had served as a county commander before, but he was forcibly stuffed into the army by his father, and he had reached the peak of the 6th order, and he was still only a captain, and he was overshadowed in the talent-rich Jiangdong Army. In the past few years, he has not had no chance of promotion, but at the last moment, he was rejected by his father, which made him very unwilling.

He understood what his father meant, and didn't want people to feel that he was promoted by connections, so he made more efforts while complaining that his father was pedantic and inflexible.

If one day he reached the 7th rank to catch up with his father or even surpass his father, then his father would have no reason to deny himself.

Thinking, he went to sleep with a smile.

……

The next day, the whole army still launched a counteroffensive, and from this day on, Bai Jian personally led his escort army to the front line to fight.

The next day, the Jiangdong Army lost 200,000 ......

Day 3, 170,000 ......

Day 4, 160,000 ......

On the fifth day, 120,000 ......

Day 6, 100,000 ......

On the seventh day, it broke through double digits for the first time, with only 88,000......

……

The fierce fighting day by day has never stopped, and the number of soldiers and horses lost every day is constantly decreasing, which means that the difficulty of the battle is gradually increasing. At this time, except for the new reinforcements, it was not easy for every soldier to deal with.

By the thirteenth day, the Jiangdong Army had been sharply reduced to 900,000, but these 900,000 people were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. There are newcomers, and more veterans, exuding a breathtaking atmosphere.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhou coalition army is poor, there are more men and horses, and there are nearly three million capable fighters at this time.

Zhang Jin thought he was used to war, but such a lifeless attrition still made him frightened. Looking at the battle damage outside the city these days, he strongly asked Shi Yi and the others to send some more soldiers and horses to support, but no one took action.

The previous reinforcements had already tried their best, and they were ready for the annihilation of the whole army, and if they sent people again, their own territory would be unstable.

Asking for help to no avail, Zhang Jin took advantage of the truce at night to withdraw the army outside the city and defend the city. But the nearly three million army can not enter the city in an instant, Bai Jian took the opportunity to organize the soldiers to kill again, although it was not unexpected, but the broken soldiers were already abandoned, the morale was not high, and they fought for a day, they were very tired, and they were quickly dispersed, and the army that entered the city was chaotic, Zhang Jin paid the price of 300,000 people for entering the city, and the soldiers and horses guarding the city were less than five million, and most of the two million troops who defended the city before had not experienced the baptism of the battlefield, watching and listening to the fighting outside the city every day, and the morale was very low.

On the fourteenth day, Bai Jian did not rest, continued to make a global sortie, and began to attack the city.

Ten besieged it, but this time Bai Jian attacked the city with inferior forces.

Exhaustion is inevitable, after all, after more than ten days of high-intensity fighting. But fatigue is also relative, and the Jiaozhou coalition army is just as tired, the key is to see who can hold on longer.

At this time, the siege equipment had already been upgraded, and all kinds of large equipment were pulled out and attacked on three sides at the same time. The upgraded well railings, siege vehicles, ladders, etc., are not easily damaged, so they quickly attacked the city. At this time, when the bloody battle began, Bai Jian personally led people to rush to the city, occupy a small area, and rush forward to provide a foothold for the follow-up soldiers.

……

The spear was nowhere to be found, and it could not be used on the city wall, so he grabbed a steel knife at random and slashed forward. Dong Xi didn't know where he had been, and he didn't think about how much trauma his body had suffered, but he kept moving forward and moving forward, which became an inertial action, and his consciousness was a little muddy.

"Poof", the steel knife was framed, he had forgotten that he had encountered a strong enemy, with his sense of swinging the knife, to avoid danger, a moment suddenly blessed to the heart, the brain sobered up for a moment, so he changed the angle of the knife, in an instant the speed soared, cut off the enemy's arm holding the weapon, and then beheaded it with a knife.

The powerful feeling stimulated the brain, and Dong Xi suddenly woke up.

"Advanced?" He couldn't believe it, he couldn't even believe it was true. He had also slashed the opponent of the 7th order, but he didn't expect that the unconscious act of slashing the enemy would allow him to break through the bottleneck that had lasted for more than ten years.

He didn't have a chance to think about the superfluous again, because the enemy surrounded him again.

"Kill!" With a low roar, Dong Xi lifted his spirits and killed again.

……

"Ding Dong, the system prompts that Dong Xi, the military general under your command, has successfully advanced to the rank 7 military general through long-term efforts."

"Dong Xi, I didn't expect the first one to be him." Since the decisive battle, Liu Feng has been paying attention to the system prompts, and received the message as soon as possible, "It seems that the real blood is flowing like a river!" ”

"Ding Dong, the system prompts that Lu Meng, the military general under your command, has successfully advanced to the rank 7 military general through long-term efforts."

Still thinking about the war in Jiaozhou, another system prompt came.

Liu Feng's gaze became gloomy. Although he had already explained, if things changed in Jiaozhou, even if Bai Jian did not allow it, He Qi would come to Luling with soldiers and horses.

"It looks like we've come to a critical moment." Liu Feng thought about it, but there was still no action - he trusted the judgment of the front-line generals.

"Ding Dong, the system prompts that Bai Jian, a military general under your command, has successfully advanced to the rank 8 military general through long-term efforts."

"Dingdong, the system announces, Bai Jian, the military general under your command, has successfully formed the only special troop - the Bloody Guard."

The surprise came suddenly, which made Liu Feng a little distracted.

There are no announcements, no rewards, but they are really displayed on the attribute board, representing its authenticity.
