Chapter 859: The so-called chess piece
Bane supported Su Yue at all costs, and Su Yue really didn't disappoint Bane. Su Yue's ace women's legion and Zhao Wenbin's elite corps had the upper hand in the first confrontation. Female soldiers are no less crazy than male soldiers, and some are even very bloodthirsty. And that's not the point, the point is that the weapons of the female soldiers are quenched with poison, and it is a special poison, and the general antidote is completely useless, which makes the combat effectiveness of the coalition soldiers suffer a great blow.
Since the beginning of the Battle of the Northern Underworld, it was the first time that Zhao Wenbin had encountered such a strong corps, and even the military divisions of the army felt pressure. When he was out of necessity, Zhao Wenbin and the military division reached a consensus and temporarily retreated.
Zhao Wenbin's retreat meant that there would no longer be any barrier between the imperial capital and Langfang City. Reinforcements from the north to the south will become unimpeded, which means that it will be difficult for the coalition forces to capture Langfang City in the short term.
When the good news reached the imperial capital, Sol smiled happily and immediately ordered three generals to lead 500,000 troops to support Langfang City. Bane, on the other hand, sent a large number of people to publicize the good news, which boosted the morale of the entire Imperial Palace a lot.
On the other side, in the military camp south of Langfang City, Jiang Feng personally met with Zhao Wenbin, intending to have a good understanding of the situation.
After a few simple greetings, Jiang Feng cut to the chase: "The leader of the women's corps is Su Yue, have you ever confronted her head-on?" ”
"Su Yue didn't appear, I guess this person should have a powerful ability, but he is not a general, so he won't come forward easily."
"It is rumored that Su Yue is one of the best beauties in the Gray Clan, but it's a pity that you haven't seen it." Jiang Feng actually laughed and teased.
"Is this your focus?" Zhao Wenbin looked puzzled.
"Or else?"
"This time we lost badly, losing the northern camp, losing nearly 1,000 soldiers, and more than 5,000 soldiers were seriously wounded. Do you really have nothing to say? Zhao Wenbin said solemnly.
"I've already heard the details of this battle from the military advisor, and I don't have anything to say, because it's normal that you will lose."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wenbin was suddenly a little angry.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your abilities. It's just that this time you lose, it's really normal. The weapons used by the women's corps are very high-grade poisons, some of which are similar to those found in the Suko Nights. You must know that Su Ko Ye is still in a coma in Wangcheng, and even Xia Yashuang has no way to deal with this poison. ”
"According to you, our situation is very bad, but you don't seem to be worried at all."
"Let me ask you, how many female soldiers are there with poison weapons? All of them? Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.
Zhao Wenbin recalled carefully, it seems that not all female soldiers have poisonous weapons. Some of the more powerful female soldiers still use conventional weapons. And some female soldiers with slightly weaker force values are the group that use poison weapons. This time, the total number of women's corps is about 50,000, but only about 30,000 have poison weapons.
"Not all, just over half." Zhao Wenbin replied.
"In this women's corps, the strength of the soldiers is between 80 and 100, and the average strength of the generals is about 150, which can be described as the elite of the elite. Even so, they couldn't make sure that everyone had a poison weapon. Therefore, it can be judged that this toxin is not easy to manufacture, and the total amount is very limited. ”
"That's true, but do you have a plan for it?"
"You can say yes, you can say no. In this way, you regroup your army as soon as possible, and then join up with Suhai Fanyan in the east, and then the two armies will merge and attack the Gray Women's Legion together, and by the way, the reinforcements from the north will be wiped out together. ”
"Even if it converges with Su Hai's Sanskrit, what can it do? In the face of those poison weapons, we still have no advantage. Zhao Wenbin was puzzled.
Facing Zhao Wenbin's questioning, Jiang Feng suddenly raised his voice and said excitedly: "Zhao Wenbin, the first brave general of the Southern Barbarians, Su Hai and Fanyan, the chief generals under the command of Breaking the Sky, plus nearly 100,000 elite soldiers with an average strength of about 100, and each soldier has armor with a certain poison attribute resistance, such a big advantage, you actually told me that there is no advantage?" ”
Jiang Feng's words carried some anger in them, as if to say: How can such an excellent soldier and such a powerful general still have a reason to retreat? Before you even fight, you're already scared? Are you so dished?
Zhao Wenbin fell into reflection and seemed to be awakened by Jiang Feng's words.
Yes, 100,000 elite soldiers, and excellent first-line generals, there is no reason to cringe.
"I understand, I will definitely defeat the enemy this time, and I will be ashamed." Zhao Wenbin cut the railway.
"This is the Zhao Wenbin I know." Jiang Feng patted Zhao Wenbin's shoulder.
"Then I'll leave now."
"Go ahead." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
After Zhao Wenbin left the tent, Song Yuan, who was originally silent on the side, finally spoke: "I don't understand you a little, are you sincere?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that the armor of our soldiers is high-quality armor and has a certain amount of poison resistance, but in the face of the high-level poison that can make Su Ko unconscious, this armor is of limited use. This battle, if fought hard, will have heavy losses. And Zhao Wenbin, or Sanskrit, or Su Hai, may end up in the same fate as Su Koye. Song Yuan analyzed.
"If you cower when you encounter a strong enemy, how can you fight this battle? The land east of the river is now being encroached upon by Ao Lie, and our time is running out. Jiang Feng said solemnly.
"Okay." Song Yuan saw Jiang Feng's solemn expression, so he didn't say more.
But in Song Yuan's heart, he still didn't quite understand that Jiang Feng had always been calm and cautious, but now he was getting more and more anxious. Could it be that Su Koye's coma caused a lot of damage to Jiang Feng?
These doubts had not yet dissipated in Song Yuan's heart, and Jiang Feng made an even more confusing move, that is, he ordered a strong attack on Langfang City, and the time was set for four o'clock tomorrow morning.
On the other side, the Long Shaoyu camp entrenched in the west of Langfang City.
When Long Shaoyu knew about the Women's Corps, he was itching in his heart, he very much wanted to personally lead the troops to meet the Women's Corps for a while, if he could be lucky enough to capture the leader Su Yue alive, wouldn't it be a great achievement. And when I heard that Su Yue was the most well-known beauty in the Gray Clan, I couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see Fangrong.
But the military advisor kept stopping Long Shaoyu and asked Long Shaoyu to stand still.
Long Shaoyu, as the nominal corps commander, was a little aggrieved in his heart. Since the beginning of the Battle of the Northern Underworld, Long Shaoyu has not been able to fight 100% according to his wishes, and he has to ask the military advisor for advice on everything. And the closer they got to Jiang Feng, the more power the military advisor had, as if Jiang Feng would support them.
At around 10 o'clock in the night, Long Shaoyu was about to take a nap, when the military advisor suddenly arrived with several signal soldiers.
Long Shaoyu got up unhappily: "What's the matter?" ”
"Urgent order, tomorrow morning at four o'clock, on time to storm Langfang City. We attacked from the west, and the lords from the south. ”
"Going to storm it? Isn't it to besiege the city and send reinforcements? ”
"Because of the women's corps, the situation of the war has changed. The three generals Zhao Wenbin, Su Hai, and Fanyan have led 100,000 elite soldiers to raid the women's corps, and there is a fierce battle going on in the north of Langfang City, and the reinforcements of the Gray Clan from the north will also be involved, and we must capture Langfang City as soon as possible. ”
"So Zhao Wenbin and they became bait to attract the women's corps and northern reinforcements, and Jiang Feng took advantage of them." Long Shaoyu and Zhao Wenbin have a good relationship, so there is a little resentment in his tone.
Who knew that the military advisor magnified his volume and shouted angrily: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, but General Long used the word "Usage" to desecrate the duty of a soldier, what is the purpose of this?" ”
Long Shaoyu was very unhappy when he heard it, but he didn't want to openly violate the order: "I know, I'm just a little upset, but that doesn't mean that I will violate the military order." ”
In Long Shaoyu's heart, he knew very well that he was just a pawn of Jiang Zhi's forces. But no matter what, as long as the chess pieces can play a role, Liu Chuan's forces will get a lot of benefits, so Long Shaoyu is willing to be a chess piece.
At four o'clock the next day, Long Shaoyu ignited Lang Fangcheng on time. Dozens of catapults, with explosive flints, unceremoniously smashed into the towering walls of Langfang City.
At the same time, Jiang Feng in the south also began to formally storm Langfang City, and the catapult and battering ram were used at the same time, smashing the entire Langfang City to shake.
The city lord of Langfang City was panicked, he understood very well that this was a battle of fish and nets.
Because under normal circumstances, if only the battering ram is used in the siege, and no catapults are used, it is to take the city. And this time, Jiang Feng and Long Shaoyu dispatched a large number of catapults, which meant that the catapults would smash the entire city wall to pieces. Even if the attackers won the battle, they would only take a ruined city.
Therefore, this battle is not to capture the city, but to slaughter the city, in order to reduce the living force of the zombie clan.
On the other side, north of Langfang City, Zhao Wenbin fell into a bitter battle here. Since the beginning of the fight last night, until now, the human soldiers have long been exhausted, but unfortunately surrounded by 500,000 reinforcements from the north. 500,000 reinforcements, in cooperation with the women's corps, fought extremely tragic battles with Zhao Wenbin and others.
This time, no one in the zombie army fled, no one retreated, and it could be described as a real fierce battle.
The battle lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning, and the casualties of the women's corps had reached more than 20,000, the casualties of ordinary zombie soldiers were as high as 200,000, and the casualties of human elite soldiers had reached more than 40,000. This is the highest number of casualties among the human coalition forces since the beginning of the Battle of the Northern Underworld.
Black flares constantly appeared in the sky, which were retreat flares fired by several military divisions in succession. But the remaining 60,000 elite soldiers were still in a state of encirclement, and they were exhausted, and seemed to have no hope of breaking through.
Generals such as Fanyan and Zhao Wenbin, who had already exhausted their abilities, were already seriously injured in order to find a way to break through, and the durability of their armor was getting lower and lower.
At one point, the zombie soldier's blade almost pierced the armor and hit Zhao Wenbin's heart. Fortunately, Su Hai desperately helped to save Zhao Wenbin. And Su Hai's left abdomen has been pierced twice, but because of the strenuous exercise, he cannot effectively stop the bleeding, causing his body to become weaker and weaker.
Su Hai, Fanyan, and Zhao Wenbin have all been injured to varying degrees, and their physical strength has bottomed out. Now even an enemy soldier with a combat power of 50 may kill them.
In order to keep the regiment commander, the lieutenant generals surrounded the three of them one after another, intending to forcibly break through and at least let the three get out of danger safely.
Zhao Wenbin shouted excitedly: "What are you doing? If the three of us are gone, what will the other soldiers do? They are likely to be wiped out. ”
One of the lieutenants shouted, "Even if you were still there, they would probably be wiped out." ”
Another lieutenant general also shouted: "In addition to the black signal flares, there are also blue-purple signal flares in the sky, which is the ultimate order of the military advisor, that is, to desperately protect you to break through, at least let the three of you get out of danger safely." ”
When the lieutenant shouted, the blood on his face kept dripping.
At that moment, whether it was Zhao Wenbin, Su Hai, or Sanskrit, they were completely shocked and moved. The military advisors, who have always been arrogant and domineering, would actually give such an ultimate order.
It turned out that they, no, it should be Jiang Feng, turned out to attach so much importance to the lives of the "chess pieces".
