Text: The Great Power Battle_Chapter 280 The heart and soul are broken
After the reappointment of a new commander of the navy, Ville began to redeploy troops. After all, the Xilong Territory is now in danger, and the Els Territory is about to face the threat of the Beichen Army. This point cannot be ignored by Weil. Once you are not careful, the five million troops that are now concentrated on the Western Front against Xia are likely to be wiped out.
Later, Veil sent a general with an army of 300,000 to support Graca, and to cooperate with the 200,000 troops there to guard the grain and grass baggage. After that, Vir asked two generals to lead an army of 100,000 to the eastern part of the Els territory. Garrison at the border between Els and Xilong, once Xilong is fully occupied by the Beichen Army, and the Beichen Army enters the Els Territory, immediately retreat and report to the army. And here in the big camp, they are doing everything they can to defeat or repel the Xia army as quickly as possible, and strive to achieve victory when the Beichen army attacks the Els Territory.
A few days later, most of the troops sent by Vir were already in place, and only the 100,000 troops heading to the easternmost part of Els's territory were still on the march. However, we have already walked more than half of the journey, and we will be able to reach the designated location in four or five days. At this time, the infantry that Xue Rengui asked for support from Xiao Chen's headquarters also came to the blocked Galahad camp.
On the same day, Xue Rengui and Ma Chao greeted the infantry at the gate of the camp early. Because the cavalry dismounted and attacked the camp of 200,000 people, it was really a little too hurt, so Xue Rengui had no choice but to send someone to Xiao Chen to ask for infantry support. Xiao Chen also quickly dispatched Yue Yun to lead 500,000 infantry, carrying a lot of siege weapons in a carriage, and marched all the way to here day and night. Today is the time when Yue Yun led the army to arrive. Therefore, Xue Rengui and Ma Chao waited for Yue Yun's arrival at the gate of the camp early.
Although the official ranks of the two of them are much higher than Yue Yun, they can't resist having a good father. Therefore, even if Xue Rengui doesn't give Yue Yun face, he has to give Yue Fei, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, a face. As for Ma Chao, it's even simpler, Yue Yun is his brother-in-law, and he can't afford to offend. If this little guy has the wrong tendon and casually says something bad about himself to his father or his sister, then he will be in the dark for the rest of his life.
Yue Yun didn't let the two generals wait too long, and after a while, patches of dust and smoke rose in the distance. those who march all year round; The two naturally knew that this was a scene that would only appear when the army was marching. When they thought that Yue Yun had no choice but to lead 500,000 infantry, Xue Rengui and Ma Chao both showed a hint of a smile. The two had been chasing Galahad for days, and now they were finally blocked. Unexpectedly, Galahad actually set up a large camp, which made the two helpless for a long time. Now, the infantry has finally arrived, as long as the infantry comes, then Galahad's camp will be destroyed, and Galahad will finally have to pay the debt with blood.
Yue Yun led several generals in the army and quickly came to Xue Rengui and the others. Immediately dismounted and saluted: "Yue Yun has seen the two generals, and he has come to support the two generals by order of the king. ”
"The little general is polite, and the two of us thank the little general for coming to support!" Xue Rengui replied to Yue Yun very politely.
Ma Chao said listlessly on the side: "Come on, don't stand here and be numb." Let's go, let's go into the account to discuss, destroy Galahad as soon as possible, and avenge General Luo Cheng! ”
After Ma Chao finished speaking, Yue Yun's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "General Xue, the king said that you will command the army when the last general is leaving. Now the last general will hand over the talisman to the general! Yue Yun said as he took out a wooden tiger-shaped object from his arms and handed it to Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect that he had only been in the Beichen Army for only a month, and his own king would actually let himself lead an army of nearly 600,000 alone. For a while, Xue Rengui felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
After Xue Rengui took over the Tiger Talisman, he quickly began to dispatch the army. Because the 500,000 troops brought by Yue Yun had been marching continuously for several days, and the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, Xue Rengui directly let the army enter the camp to rest. After that, some trivial things in the army were arranged.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day, after all the soldiers in the camp had eaten lunch, that Xue Rengui led an army of 200,000 and came to the front of Galahad's camp again. This time, there were 200,000 attacking troops under Xue Rengui, and they were all professional infantry. This is to lead 200,000 infantry to attack the enemy camp, which is much more confident than leading 50,000 dismounted cavalry to attack the enemy camp.
The division of labor among the 200,000 troops was very clear, and the 300 catapults were taken care of by nearly 6,000 soldiers. Huge rocks were piled up next to the catapult, ready to attack. Behind them, 80,000 sword and shield soldiers held large shields, covering the bodies of their comrades behind them, and stood in the front row of the military formation in a neat line. Countless Changge soldiers stood solemnly in the military formation. In the back, 40,000 archers hung the strings of their longbows and carried a quiver around their waists.
A phalanx of 200,000 people stood neatly outside the Galahad camp, red in color. In the military array, countless banners danced in the breeze, making the entire army full of hideous atmosphere. Xue Rengui, Ma Chao and Yue Yun stood on the high platform, looking at the army below, just waiting for everything to be prepared and ready to attack at any time.
"Report! General Qiyu, the soldiers and horses on the right flank are ready! ”
"Report! General Qiyu, the Chinese army is ready! ”
"Report! General Qiyu, the soldiers and horses on the left flank are ready! ”
"Report! General Qiyu, the catapult troops are ready! ”
Xue Rengui was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face, and still said seriously: "Command the flag officer, the catapult troops will immediately attack, and the left and right armies will advance and start attacking!" ”
"No!"
The flag officer quickly spread Xue Rengui's order throughout the army, and the three hundred planes were placed at a distance of five hundred paces in front of the Galahad camp, and immediately launched a bombardment of the enemy camp. Hundreds of boulders, under the manipulation of the soldiers, flew into the sky and smashed directly towards Galahad's camp.
The 20 infantry phalanxes of the left, center, and right armies also marched forward under the wave of the command flag in the formation. All the soldiers were silent, looking solemnly at the enemy camp in front of them. In my heart, to the sound of war drums, the fear was gone, and only the desire to fight remained. The banner of hunting in the wind, also under the hands of the soldiers in the front row, followed the footsteps of the army.
The boulder roared into Galahad's camp, causing a tremor in the camp. Many of the soldiers of the country who never set did not have time to react, and were smashed into pulp by the flying boulders. There are also many camp walls that have been directly hit by boulders, and sections of walled walls have collapsed, which will make the next battle of the Beichen Army infantry a hundred times easier. When the infantry phalanx advanced to one hundred and fifty paces, the sun did not set on the country, which had been beaten for a long time, and began its own angry counterattack. Countless arrows were thrown above the heads of the Beichen Army, but in front of the infantry shield of the Beichen Army, they were very powerless.
And at this time, the military formation of the Beichen Army also began to separate. In each military formation, there were twenty rows of sword and shield soldiers and twenty rows of archers, a total of exactly two thousand sword and shield soldiers and two thousand archers. The 4,000 men stopped advancing and quickly formed a formation again. The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are in the back, one row after another. Then, countless arrows flew out of these new formations and shot towards the camp wall.
After shooting a wave of arrows, the archers of the Beichen Army didn't care what they had gained. Quickly burrowed under the big shield of the sword and shield soldier in front of him, pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his waist again, put on the longbow, and pulled the full moon. After that, he leaned out in an instant, shot the arrow in his hand, and then hid under the cover of the big shield. Such a shameless tactic made the soldiers on the camp wall miserable.
Watching the archers of the Beichen Army shoot arrows towards the camp wall, the archers of the country where the sun never sets are naturally unhappy. So he hurriedly counterattacked, but all the arrows he shot fell on the shield of the Beichen army. As for the archers hiding under their shields, they were unharmed and continued their obscene tactics.
The infantry soon rushed under the camp wall, and set up ladders on top of the camp wall, and the soldiers began to climb towards it. The Changge soldiers relied on the Changge Commander in their hands, standing directly under the camp wall, attacking the enemy troops above, covering their own climbing soldiers. Between the several sections of the camp wall smashed by the catapult before, a bloody battle of life and death began. Countless soldiers of the Beichen Army and the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets are crowded here, vying for the right to occupy the gap.
The fierce battle ended quickly, and the infantry of the Beichen Army was still very strong. Especially before the attack, the catapults had already smashed more than a dozen sections of Galahad's camp, so the key target of the Beichen Army was these dozen sections of the collapsed camp wall. And the rest of the directions are just to take the opportunity to attack and contain the enemy's forces. But on the contrary, the troops of the Beichen Army attacking the collapsed camp wall did not rush in. Even the troops pushing the siege cones failed to reach the enemy camp in the first place. However, the soldiers who climbed the ladder occupied several sections of the city wall early. Then, relying on more and more soldiers who poured up, he completely drove the army of the country on which the sun never sets off the camp wall.
After losing the protection of the camp wall, countless soldiers of the country where the sun never sets, no longer have the spirit of fighting before. In particular, the camp gate was also knocked open by the siege cone soon after, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the country who never set the sun either fled, or laid down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to the soldiers of the Beichen army.
After the Beichen infantry arrived, they began to attack the Galahad camp, and until the end of the battle, it only took two hours. The 200,000 troops, after taking the camp wall, immediately dispersed, chasing and killing the soldiers of the country who had escaped. And those troops who surrendered, there were also groups of Beichen Army soldiers escorted to the big camp outside the camp. When the evening sun set, the Beichen army fully occupied the Galahad camp and cleared all the remnants of the enemy.
All the enemy troops did not run away, either kneeling and surrendering, or they were cut off by the soldiers of the Beichen Army who caught up and asked for merit. The results of the battle were also quickly handed over to Xue Rengui, Ma Chao, and Yue Yun.
In this battle, 100,000 soldiers and horses in the enemy camp were annihilated, of which more than 47,000 were beheaded and more than 50,000 enemy were captured. The losses of their own side were only more than 30,000 people, of which more than 14,000 were killed and more than 16,000 were killed or wounded. Wherever such a result is placed, it is a big victory. Many soldiers were also rejoicing at their achievement, after all, they had completely annihilated 100,000 enemies, and their own only 30,000 casualties, isn't it worth rejoicing?
Many soldiers rejoiced in their hearts, on the one hand, because of the desire for the victory of the government in the hearts of men, and on the other hand, they were happy that they wanted to see the head of the hanging. These are all military exploits, and this is a good thing! However, Xue Rengui, Ma Chao, and Yue Yun in the tent were not so happy on their faces. The three of them sat in the tent with blue faces, and the anger in their hearts was very great.
For nearly half a month, 100,000 cavalry surrounded and intercepted Galahad's 200,000-strong army. In the pursuit a few days ago, Ma Chaozhong lost more than 20,000 cavalry. This finally blocked Galahad's 200,000-strong army in the newly breached camp, with more than 10,000 cavalry losses. Now the infantry brothers came, and with 30,000 casualties, they gloriously annihilated 100,000 enemy troops.
But why is there only 100,000 people, and doesn't Galahad 200,000 men in his hands? Why are only 100,000 horses annihilated now? And what about Galahad, and the 100,000 men?
Xue Rengui and Ma Chao, who were annoyed and full of doubts in their hearts, quickly found several high-ranking guys among the captives and handed them over for questioning.
The captives were also very acquainted with each other, and it turned out that when Galahad arrived here a few days earlier, he had ordered the army to set up camp. On the night of the construction of the camp, he led 50,000 horses to break into pieces and fled from all around the camp. The next day, in the evening, 50,000 horses were sent to escape from the camp. The 100,000 men and horses were divided into pieces in batches in two nights, and the old ones escaped from the camp.
And the scouts sent by Ma Chao also encountered a lot of enemy soldiers who were broken into pieces at night, but they only thought that they had encountered the enemy's reconnaissance troops, or night patrol troops, and they didn't pay too much attention to them. And these little things were not reported to Ma Chao. After all, if Ma Chao had been reported to Ma Chao when he encountered many enemy reconnaissance troops and night patrol teams, it was estimated that Ma Chao would have been annoyed to death.
Xue Rengui and Ma Chao listened to the captive's answer, their faces were hot. Unexpectedly, he and others chased and intercepted him for nearly half a month, but he was still led by Galahad to lead 100,000 horses to escape. Now it is estimated that Galahad has returned to Xilong City, what a great irony!
At this time, Galahad stayed in the city lord's mansion, drinking wine and looking at the map. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said to himself: "Hehe, two stupid cats, you should also break through the camp arranged by General Ben now." Isn't that very surprising! Hahaha..."
