Chapter 548: Retreat
"Tentative attack, but found some situation, although the defense of this city is tight, but the strength of these defenders, but it is not good at all, in the afternoon when the sky is cooler to attack the city, this time it will definitely be able to fight!"
Although he did not take this small city, but this General Lin did not care at all, as for the casualties of more than 3,000 soldiers, for the army, it was nothing at all, and this operation was only a tentative attack, but it also caused a thousand casualties to the defenders, and their casualties were nothing at all!
The army outside the city retreated, and the corpses were pulled back by the retreating army, leaving only blood all over the ground and messy arrows and armor, as if to tell people what was happening here!
Above the head of the city, it was also bloody, the No. 1 soldier defending this section of the city, his eyes slightly showed a trace of solemnity, obviously the strength of the enemy army, the military quality of the enemy army is stronger than imagined, although this battle, it seems that the enemy army has suffered more losses, but this is because the enemy army did not launch a full-scale attack, otherwise, if the army fights to the death, his cannon fodder army defending the city will definitely not last long.
However, after this battle, the young men were also trained, and they saw the enemy retreating, and immediately let out cheers, although the process was very difficult, but after all, they still repelled the attack of the enemy army, and defeated the attack of the elite army of Izumo Country before, which has unimaginable benefits for the growth of these young people's confidence!
"The large army takes turns to rest, and the enemy's offensive in the afternoon must be extremely fierce. However, we rely on the city to defend, and there are reinforcements coming later, so we just have to wait. Take out the skills you train on weekdays, then there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
The ten-star soldiers, one by one, spoke, they cheered for their subordinates, these soldiers knew that these subordinates, although they were cannon fodder. Even if they are all dead, there is no pity, but it is the capital of their future conquest, easily. I still can't give it up.
Therefore, these ten-star soldiers are extremely hardworking and have shown all their skills!
War has always been the best place to hone your temper, General Lin in the afternoon. Circumference three missing one. The cities in the north, east, and south were all surrounded, but this time there was no tentative attack, 200,000 soldiers and horses, leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses as mobile troops, and the remaining 150,000 troops were dispatched together, divided into three ways to besiege Lin'an City!
Lin'an City is not large, and each city can only accommodate 20,000 troops at most. Therefore, it can only let six ten-star soldiers take turns to defend the city!
It was a terrible battle. There were heavy casualties between the two sides, and the city was almost lost at one point, and if it weren't for the participation of the backup soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the city would be extremely critical.
Lin'an City is only a small city, the city's defense is limited, so the situation from time to time appears critical scenes, so that the defending side, although it has a geographical advantage, but it is under the siege of the local army, it is extremely difficult, and after all, the training time of the young people is a little shorter, so the casualties are also extremely heavy!
The sun is setting, the afterglow of the sunset is sprinkled all over the earth, at this time the huge amount of troops invested by both sides is inseparable, seeing this, General Lin's brows furrowed slightly, helplessly, it is already late, which is not conducive to the soldiers attacking the city, so although the city is crumbling, it seems that there is a possibility of falling at any time, but it is already late, but it is in vain, so General Lin sighed secretly, it is worth issuing a military order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but it is also very satisfactory to him!
Because of a siege and bloody battle this afternoon, although this city was not broken in one fell swoop, this small Lin'an City was already full of devastation, and the defenders were extremely heavy in casualties.
After the two sides calculated the losses that night, their faces were solemn, today's siege, General Lin's troops and horses, the strong attack continued, strong military literacy, coupled with the average slightly higher strength, so that they had an advantage, but the number of casualties was more than 15,000, it was really surprising, but after thinking of the enemy's casualties, this General Lin's face was much better!
"Although this defender occupies a geographical advantage, but our army attacks fiercely, occupies an advantage, it is estimated that the enemy's casualties are at least 25,000 as much, so that if you fight again tomorrow, the enemy's strength will be lacking, so if the enemy has no reinforcements, you can break through this city in three days at most!"
General Lin is full of confidence, and this battle did not take the city, nor did he have some other ideas, in his opinion, this Lin'an City is just a small city, today's battle is already full of devastation, three days later, even if the enemy reinforcements arrive, but this city does not have much protective ability, how many reinforcements will inevitably die here, when the time comes, the attack on Yunmeng City can also be less defensive troops, when the time comes, it must be a lot easier!
This General Lin is a battle-hardened general, although he has not become a congenital general, but he has also reached the pinnacle of the general's level, his strength is extremely amazing, and he is also a general who has risen from a small soldier step by step, so he naturally has an excellent understanding of war, and he is not a general on paper!
And as General Lin expected, in the first battle in the afternoon, the army suffered a lot of casualties, plus the casualties in the morning, the number of casualties in the army today reached nearly 27,000, on average, each ten-star soldier under the soldiers, are more than 4,000 soldiers and horses killed and wounded, this kind of loss, has been extremely heavy, if it were not for the army has been trained, and these young men are extremely afraid of the army, and there are nearly 30,000 Chelong Kingdom elite troops stationed, I am afraid that these young men have already been extremely demoralized.
However, now they also have a deeper understanding of war, as long as they can survive this war, then they can definitely grow up, and it is not impossible to become an elite in the future, or even become a soldier!
That night, Lin'an City was brilliantly lit, and the army was resting at the same time, but it was also pulling the strong men in the city to start repairing the city, although the young and strong had been anxious, but in this world, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the strict sense did not exist at all, even if it was a child, it was also a strength, participating in the repair of the city, that was not the slightest problem!
This time, Cai Zhong was ruthless, and moved the young residents of another town he was responsible for, as well as the rural residents under his jurisdiction, into this city, so the people have a lot, so that this small city of Lin'an, the population has doubled, reaching as many as 600,000, although it is a little crowded, but at the time of the war, it is not so much, some warehouses, public facilities, etc. are vacated, but these residents do not have many complaints!
And although the people were recruited to repair the city, Cai Zhong also let go of the treasury and exchanged materials for the labor of the people, so the progress of repairing the city was not only accelerated, but the people did not resist at all.
It's just that the looted materials are quickly consumed like flowing water, but Cai Zhong didn't pay attention to this at all, not to mention the materials from the Chelong Kingdom, as well as the beast meat support of the five generals in the Silent Mountain Range, even the plundered materials are also a lot, and as long as they gain a firm foothold in this Yunmeng City and train the cannon fodder legion, then this can march again, attack this mausoleum city, and after taking this city, this material is naturally a lot.
Therefore, for materials and other things, the generals, including Cai Zhong, are not reluctant at all, and can exchange for the attachment of the people, what are these materials!
Early in the morning, burying the pot to make rice, after the two sides finished breakfast, the snare drum was beating, General Nalin continued to launch an attack on Lin'an City, but today these young people are a lot more confident, although they are still not elite, sometimes it is inevitable to panic, but the effect of this resistance is a lot better, after a long time of fighting, the damage of both sides is not counted, the enemy has no way to take the city, and then retreat!
In this battle, General Lin had five thousand casualties under his command, and the defenders had about six thousand casualties, although so, but it was six ten-star soldiers, nodding secretly, war is really the best means of growth, the growth of these cannon fodder is absolutely amazing, the threat of death, the stimulation of war, has made them grow a lot, although there is still some gap with the enemy, but this gap is rapidly narrowed!
"The young and strong recruited by the enemy army have grown so quickly, but fortunately, they can't hold out for long, and although this city has been repaired, but after this battle, it still caused this Lin'an City, more trauma, now it depends on whether the enemy will send reinforcements over, I hope they send reinforcements, in this way, if you can use this Lin'an town as a decisive battlefield, this is a good thing......"
…………
At the end of the arrival of the Lingcheng army, Zhao Yun had already received the exact news, and Zhao Yun was also extremely concerned about this battle, seeing the growth of the Caizhong cannon fodder army, Zhao Yun immediately nodded with satisfaction, and even issued a military order!
And just after the Lingcheng army took a lunch break, the spirit was reinvigorated, and the army was attacking the city, but it was only found that the enemy army was actually retreating quietly, and even coerced those people, which made General Delin slightly stunned, and suddenly became angry, and hurriedly led the army to rush forward!
At this time, Cai Zhong's army was guarding the retreat of the people, while the six ten-star soldiers were leading their own cannon fodder regiments to block the pursuit of the Lingcheng army...... (To be continued......)
