The same heavy infantry duel, the situation in the Second Tiannan War was completely different from the first. 『『【Big > book> bag> small > said> net dashubao]

In the last battle, the Omans invested heavily in heavy infantry divisions, and had already captured the Jianhuangling section with the help of internal responses. In order to expand the results of the battle horizontally, the Tiannan Army was eager to regain the lost territory and recapture the Jianhuangling, so they invariably invested heavy infantry. Because the battlefield conditions, tactics, and even objectives used are very different, the results are naturally different.

In the first major battle, the duel between the heavy infantry divisions was more efficient and amazing, and the battle losses of both sides were beyond imagination.

And this time, because the Songjiang Army did not have a defensive line to fall, it could insist on defense more calmly and calmly, and the style of play was naturally passive. In addition, the overall combat power of the heavy infantry of the Songjiang Army was worse than that of the Tiannan Army at that time, which further led to the low lethality efficiency. The heavy infantry attack and defense at the Yushan battlement lasted for more than two days, and the number of casualties on both sides was less than half a day at the height of the last battle!

Although the Omanis exhausted their elite, adjusted their tactics, and caused big trouble to the immature Third Heavy Infantry Division several times, they were finally counterattacked by Xu Shizhong.

Although the corpses were everywhere and the disgusting smell of blood enveloped the entire defense line for a long time, the section of the Yushan battlement was still in the hands of the Songjiang army.

What made the Omani people even more chilling was that just a day ago, a batch of strong crossbows purchased by Chen Wutong Guò and the eldest prince finally arrived.

These powerful crossbows, made from the finest iron ore in the Northland, are exquisitely crafted and of excellent texture, and the matching special crossbow arrows are enough to penetrate two layers of armor at close range. In order to get these from the eldest prince and the Song family, and then smuggle them over to avoid the surveillance of the emperor's intelligence bureau, Chen Wu really paid a lot of price and effort.

Prior to this, although the Songjiang Military Combat Readiness Administration could also imitate a batch of self-produced military bows and crossbows, the quality was a grade worse than that of the Omani boutiques, and the quantity was not enough to meet the demand. Fight against the Omani crossbows. There is always no advantage. Their arrival greatly strengthened the city defense force of the Songjiang Army.

After the unexpected appearance, it gave the Omanis a head-on blow!

When the third day. After the heavy infantry divisions failed to open the gap, an atmosphere of depression hung over the Omani army's tent. Saladin suffered the casualties of his well-trained heavy infantry. I couldn't help but really move the mind of retreating. Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that Chen Wu of the Songjiang Army did no worse than the Tiannan Army.

After the new counterweight trebuchet failed to work, the troops landed across the sea were wiped out, and the heavy infantry divisions failed to break through the defensive line, the Omani army seemed to have no better way to take the fortress of Nanfeng.

Although it will definitely have a great impact on his prestige if he retreats now, he will continue to consume it like this. It's also hard to see a turnaround, and it only makes the situation even more embarrassing when you are forced to retreat a month or two later. Unless, he can regain the opportunity of the First Tiannan War to buy and coerce a high-ranking member of the Songjiang Army to defect.

It's hard!

The last time I got the chance, it was already a stroke of luck and coincidence. After the reorganization, the remnants of the Tiannan Army obviously did not have the soil where Zài was co-opted. And the brand-new Songjiang Legion has also been active in Songjiang County before, and the black-clothed guards have almost not been able to make a breakthrough, let alone be bought at this time.

But then again. With such a large loss of his own army, the situation of the Songjiang army should be even more embarrassing, right?

The strength of Governor Chen Wu's henchmen was only the first two divisions of Songjiang. A few divisions in the back. It's just been formed. The Third Heavy Infantry Division may be an exception, but it is the only one. Could it be that Chen Wu is just gritting his teeth now?

Saladin had such a fluke in his heart, as long as he added the last chip, he could retreat the Matsue army, which had reached the end of the crossbow.

It's just that no one knows how much this last chip will weigh!

Perhaps, just one more day of onslaught? Or, desperately to kill and wound another 30,000, or even 50,000?

If it was the former, then Saladin would wake up laughing in his dreams. If it's the latter...... The war has been waged until now. The 300,000 troops of the Kingdom of Oman died on the spot, disease, and death due to wounds. The number of dead soldiers has reached more than 40,000. Counting the 4,000 Guards who were completely annihilated after landing in Ninghai County, the number is close to 50,000!

If you add wounded soldiers and deserters. As well as the broken up formations, which are difficult to reorganize in a short period of time, the available military strength of the Omanis is already a full third less than at the beginning of the war!

If we take into account the low morale caused by the soldiers' war weariness and homesickness, the actual combat strength will only be weaker.

In this case, if another 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers are killed or wounded...... It's a disaster!

If one is not done well, the entire army may collapse.

The thought of continuing the offensive and stopping there flew back and forth in Saladin's mind, hesitating. It was at this time that the bad news from the rear helped him make a decision.

………

Chengxi Port!

A few years later, the harbor and now a small fishing village ushered in another peaceful dawn in the morning light. However, before the most diligent group of fishermen got up, an astonishing number of ships sailed in the open sea.

Under the cover of the warships of the Ninghai Division, a large number of sea ships quickly landed.

Before that, several clippers had already docked near the shore overnight to determine the water conditions here, and indeed allow the ships to drive very close to the shore. The speed of landing in this way was much faster than the landing of the Nanyang Navy Division outside the port of Quanzhou.

If it was a veteran officer who had followed Chen Wu for a long time, he would naturally be convinced of his words. But Shi Liang didn't follow Chen Wu for long, so he naturally didn't know Chen Wu's true energy and mysterious place. For the natural deep-water port of Chengxi, he was a little skeptical, so he reported the attitude of verification and let the clippers go first, but the result undoubtedly surprised him a little.

"The Governor's news is really well-informed!"

The Omanis themselves probably didn't even know that there was a deep-water port here, and the governor who was said to have lived in Taiping County would know about it!

Shaking his head, he put the thought aside and let the cavalry quickly begin the landing.

After sailing at sea for so long, both the horses and the riders looked a little sluggish. When they stepped back on land, they were able to adapt to the bumps of the waves, and many of them felt dizzy, as if the earth was shaking. However, once they recovered from this discomfort, the cavalrymen, who had not even eaten breakfast, quickly cheered up.

It's nice to have your feet on the ground!

Without waiting for all the cavalry and the subsequent heavy grain and grass to land, the first batch of cavalry disembarking had already moved quickly to blockade and capture the small fishing village of Chengxi Port. Subsequently, while resting on the spot, the troops began to connect with Nguyen Chonghuan's men, preparing to seize the city of Nahar as a supply point for the naval division.

一 qiē is carried out very smoothly.

The landing of the Ninghai Division at Chengxi Port exceeded the expectations of other coastal counties in the Chiang Mai Plain. After the fishing village near the coast was cordoned off for the first time, there was no leakage of information. The cavalry of 1,300 men made contact with Nguyen Chonghuan and arrived outside the city of Nahar overnight.

What follows is almost a repeat of the Castle of Koy two years ago.

However, there is one thing that is different from Castle of Coy. The latter was the only bridgehead of the Omanis on the Red River Valley front, and its size and garrison were enormous. Nahar City is different, it is just an ordinary small city on the Chiang Mai Plain, and the defense force in the city is no more than 200 people.

Under the joint attack of more than 50 lurkers of the Hue Dynasty, more than a dozen soldiers guarding the eastern gate were easily eliminated. Although the shouts woke up the people of Nahar, it was impossible to stop the vicious remnants of Hue. As the gates of the city opened, 1,300 cavalry swarmed in, crushing the weak resistance of the city and taking over the city with little effort.

Half a day later, Ninghai sent about 500 sailors to Nahar City.

The few horses, mules, and even ox carts in the city were requisitioned by them. A large amount of grain, grass, clean water and other resources were transported back to the small fishing village of Chengxi Port by these sailors in large trucks, and then transported back to the fleet, including a batch of fresh fruits and vegetables.

These replenished supplies are enough for the Ninghai division to stay here for a month, and then pick up the returning cavalry to return!

Sure that the sailors were strong enough to master the small city, the cavalry of the Matsue Army, after completely disarming the city of Nahar, left the city and embarked on an unbridled expedition.

The entire vast plain of Chiang Mai is their target.

Compared with the 4,000 guards and 100 accompanying cavalry, the number of cavalry landed on the Songjiang Army was much smaller, only about one-third, and it also did not have the strength to attack the city, but its mobility greatly exceeded the former. In particular, the terrain of the Chiang Mai Plain is very suitable for cavalry galloping, and it can be said that it comes and goes like the wind.

All the villages and towns on the route of the Songjiang cavalry and were not protected by the city wall were badly damaged. Everywhere he went, the light gold tickets and precious jewels were confiscated, and everything else that could be destroyed was destroyed, and those that could not were burned down.

In just four days, tens of thousands of people in more than 11 villages and towns were displaced.

The damage and impact caused far exceeded that of the Omani Guards, who had been targeted from the very beginning of the landing!

Of course, the Hue Dynasty forces, which provided intelligence, also helped a lot. To be honest, let them assist the cavalry of Shangguo to burn and loot in their homeland, and some of the remnants of Hue are resistant in their hearts. But they know better that now this is an enemy country. Only by driving the Omanis away will it be possible for them to regain their lost territory and regain their ground!

Compared with the First Tennan War, this time the Omanis left a little troops in the rear. However, at most, they could only defend the city, and there was no way to take more than a thousand cavalry. In addition to panicking, he kept sending urgent reports to the capital Valanga and the front line where the army was stationed, requesting that the army be transferred to encircle and suppress.

For a time, the entire Chiang Mai Plain was in chaos.
