Chapter 225: Detour and Confrontation
"Another three thousand soldiers of the Chu army have crossed the river, and they plan to join the thousands of Chu troops who retreated to Tuanshan Town to rest?"
was knocked out twice in a row, with the loss of nearly 6,000 soldiers, and the stupid * person is not joking this time. When the players and soldiers who were lucky enough not to be caught up in the ban reported what they had encountered, from the players to the NPCs, the coalition was quickly shocked and suddenly realized. It turned out that the Chu army had already planned and arranged, and they were neither here to lure the enemy, nor to attack grain and grass, but to be earnest-
Kite flying is using a very peculiar method.
Fighting the strong with the weak, kite flow is indeed a very good tactic. Eat a little bit of you today, eat a little bit of you, withdraw after eating, rest and come again, even if there are several times the number of troops, they can't withstand such a toss.
And the Chu army obviously realized that it was only three things, the first coalition army was unexpectedly beaten, and the second coalition pursued too few soldiers, which was considered a light enemy, but the third time, the coalition army obviously would not send thousands of soldiers to die.
Therefore, the Chu army has quickly transferred another 3,000 soldiers from the city to reinforce it, so as not to form an absolute gap in military strength, and continue to gnaw more with less.
This abacus is quite good. If the coalition forces send another 10,000 soldiers this time, it is estimated that they will be gnawed again. In this way, the 16,000 coalition troops were gnawed away, and the total number of coalition troops coming this time was only 60,000. In addition, the coalition army also has to leave a few thousand troops to prevent the Chu army and the player from attacking the grain and grass, and when the time comes, it will be 40,000 soldiers attacking the city defended by 15,000 soldiers, and the danger of the Han River of the Chu army fighting at home will be there, and it is not impossible to achieve a stalemate.
The southward march of the army is bound to win, and a stalemate is obviously not what the coalition forces want to see. And the more stalemate it is, the more unfavorable it is for the coalition army, because maybe the Chu army of the western expedition will urgently return to help - of course the coalition army will not, and the order given by the Chu King's Palace to the western expeditionary army is "no need to return to the division". In addition, the supply of food and grass and the safety of food and grass on the attacking side of the away game are also a problem. The Chu army took advantage of the twilight to send troops, and until now, night has fallen, and the possibility of attacking grain and grass at night cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, the coalition army quickly and decisively made a decision - leaving 10,000 soldiers to guard the granary, and the remaining 44,000 soldiers immediately attacked, divided into two routes, one way 34,000 people immediately attacked the Chu army, if the Chu army still wants to use the old way to play kite flow, then fight a decisive battle with the Chu army, and the other way 10,000 people make a detour to attack, if the Chu army dares to fight outside the city, then they will cut off the retreat of the Chu army, and the armies will encircle and annihilate the Chu army outside the city.
"Ah, the enemy army is large, and there are other armies trying to copy our rear road," when the coalition army marched a mile away, Xiao Ye was also quite simply, "Let's retreat, the players who left the [MIKU Guard] are here to break off, this matter, [Nine Princess] just greeted them." Let's first go and meet the more than 10,000 enemy troops outflanked on the flank - the old way. ”
Fancheng's scout players had already observed the approximate strength of the enemy army by flying in the air, and in the same way, the same was true for the coalition forces, and the intelligence of the opposing forces on both sides was still relatively fast. Although there are occasional confrontations between players in the air, since most of the skills require certain skill moves, even if they meet in a narrow way, many times they pass by, and players have not yet come up with an effective way to fight the air. Of course, you can't overdo anything, don't scout when you're close to NPCs camping or cities, because you'll be shot into an aerial hedgehog by NPC crossbows, and NPC archers can shoot you like birds in the wild, so you still have to.
As Xiao Ye wished, the Chu army quickly retreated and joined up with reinforcements. Taking advantage of the home advantage and being extremely familiar with the terrain, the Chu army marched non-stop, marched rapidly in a short time, and quickly circled along the west bank of the Baihe River, facing the 10,000 allied troops who were going down the riverbank. It's just that the enemy army is also on guard this time, seeing that the four or five thousand troops before the Chu army quickly retreated and joined the reinforcements, and then seven or eight thousand troops went straight to this 10,000-person team, they also decisively chose to retreat, stopping in the middle of Tuanshan Town and Baihe Village, five or six miles away from Baihe Village, and only two or three miles away from Tuanshan Town.
If the Chu army tries to eat their army here, then the tens of thousands of troops still in Tuanshan Town will quickly rush from the west to the east, and meet with them before the end of the battle here for a decisive battle. The 10,000 army is not said to be eaten for a while, the first few times there were few soldiers, and the formation was easy to be broken through, when there were more soldiers, once a solid defensive formation was placed in front and the rear was supported, then even if the Chu army used the previous peculiar method of dividing the enemy army, eight thousand to five thousand, it was impossible to solve them in the closed space in a short time. And if the Chu army tries to attack the grain, the result will be the same, and they will also be entangled here. ..., Chu Jun naturally understands this truth. Therefore, when he saw that the 10,000 coalition troops were stationed, he decisively chose to retreat. With the help of familiarity with the home field, he soon returned to the south of Tuanshan Town. Under the onslaught of thirty or forty thousand NPC soldiers, the pressure on the player legion to fight is quite great. If it weren't for the fact that the player legion had all kinds of convenient healing magic that NPC soldiers didn't have, and could add various buffs, then 50,000 players would have been defeated against 30,000 NPCs. And now, they have also fought and retreated, retreating two or three miles, and if they retreat two or three miles, they can drink the water of the Han River.
Due to the rapid return of the Chu soldiers, the battlefield was at a stalemate for a while. It is not that the coalition forces did not have the confidence to defeat the Chu army, but because the psychological pressure on the coalition forces from the previous two consecutive ambush battles was really not small. The Chu army now looks like it is retreating, and there must be other conspiracies. And the most likely conspiracy is to lure the enemy deep and defeat each one. So look at the darkness of the night, the coalition soldiers and players are not taking too fierce offensive postures, it is better to hold together, for the better. In the night, more than eighty percent of the defenders have a more obvious home advantage, and although the away army is strong, they don't want to lose their troops casually. In fact, just now, the Chu army's rapid military migration and detour attack in the area north of the Han River and west of the Baihe River forced back 10,000 coalition troops to outflank the army, which has already reflected the Chu army's extremely strong ability to grasp the terrain in this area, so that the coalition army does not dare to take it lightly, because maybe the Chu army will let the players delay for a while, and come to a larger detour attack, attack grain and grass or carry out the previous division and encirclement plus kite flow, or other tricks. The darkness of the night provided a good detour for this detour, and the Allied forces fighting away had to guard against it. For a time, the two sides formed a stalemate south of Tuanshan Town.
The coalition army also quickly made a decision, in order to prevent the Chu army from attacking the granary at night, moved the headquarters to the area of Tuanshan Town, together with the grain and grass of the whole army and most of the soldiers. More than 50,000 soldiers are in a group, even if there is such a peculiar division method as before, I don't believe that your more than 10,000 Chu troops can still gnaw it all down at night. If you dare to come and gnaw, I will be able to use the whole army to entangle you and surround you here.
As a result, a very strange situation soon appeared on the battlefield outside Fancheng, that is, the coalition army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, was cowering and cautious in front of the Chu army, which had an absolute disadvantage in strength, and kept a close watch, and there were constantly coalition players patrolling the entire battlefield. The Chu army, which had an absolute disadvantage in numbers, was very cooperative and domineering, showing the situation of "Brother will not retreat tonight, and even take advantage of the night to attack", and the two sides confronted each other in the night.
"When the day dawns, the whole army will be pressed, and you will see that you still have tricks"
When the two sides faced off for several hours, in the middle of the night, when a coalition general finally returned to sleep in his tent after arranging for his soldiers to be on guard, he spoke indignantly.
In the face of absolute forces, all tactics are floating clouds.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he couldn't wait for the dawn.
"Well, although it is a thick night, and most of the enemies have already moved to Tuanshan Town, these few miles are really terrifying......" Behind the high embankment in the east of Baihe Village, Xiao Ye looked at the coalition patrol players flying in the sky from time to time, as well as the coalition soldiers who had not been transferred to Tuanshan Town not far away and had been staying in Baihe Village, and complained in a low voice, "This costume is too conspicuous." ”
"......" Shana almost laughed out loud in the night when she heard his last words.
"But it seems that it is not as I expected," Xiao Ye said in a low voice, "The enemy army does not dare to be careless, so even if the large army is transferred, soldiers and players have been sent to patrol in all directions within a few miles of the battlefield. ”
"Hmm." Xana looked up, looked at the patrol players flying through the sky, and whispered, "They weren't careless. ”
How difficult it is to lurk all the way, Xana certainly understands it. In fact, the two of them have not retreated with the army since the previous time when the Chu army was chasing the 10,000-strong team of the coalition army until it reached Baihe Village and Tuanshan Town. Staying dormant in the darkness of the night for a long time before making a move, this caution is necessary. If this operation fails, they will become sinners in the whole city.
"But who would have thought that the soldiers of the Chu Army would not, and the players of the Chu Kingdom would not be in large numbers," Xia Na said in a low voice, "What about the two of us for something that would have required dozens or even hundreds of people to be busy for half a day?" ”
"Well, do the math, Asami and Kuroko's side should be ready to start acting at any time." Xiao Ye also smiled, quickly switched to the transformation state, and a unique disk appeared on his arm, "So, let's start first"
