Chapter 328: The Decisive Battle (2)

Two hours after the decisive battle began, the left guard of the Chinese army was still blocked by the three battalions of the Silent Annihilation Army three miles north of the battle line, and although the opponent was only 10,000 men, it fought very tenaciously.

In addition, in order to ensure the concealment of the roundabout, the two sides chose a long and narrow hilly valley, and the left guard of the Chinese army could not be fully deployed, giving full play to the numerical advantage, but allowing the stronger opponent to gain the upper hand.

Because of the war horse turmoil, Zuo Meng, who had been ruthlessly cleaned up by Xu Rui once, was covered in heavy armor, and dismounted with difficulty under the support of two personal soldiers, as soon as he landed, the war horse with three long arrows in his abdomen screamed and fell to the ground.

Zuo Meng didn't care about the life or death of the war horse, took off his helmet, wiped the blood on his face, and walked quickly towards the temporary tent.

In fact, there was no tent at all in the so-called temporary tent, because the two sides met so suddenly that Wang Yi's personal soldiers did not have time to set up tents at all, but just circled a vacant lot, put the map and arrows up, and used this place as a temporary command post.

When Zuo Meng came back, Wang Yi was carefully considering the battle situation in front of the map, and when he saw him approaching, he raised his head and asked, "How is the battle going?" ”

Zuo Meng smashed the helmet on the ground, and said stupidly: "Damn, I have never seen such a difficult opponent, and there are only about 200 people in the front pass, and at the end of the 3,000 people rushed three times, and they were beaten back by them."

Now they alternately deploy defenses along the hilly zigzag, and they don't know how many lines of defense have been erected, and they don't even think about going through without filling in three or four thousand lives. ”

Wang Yi was not surprised at all by what Zuo Meng said, although the name of the Silent Annihilation Army was not as loud as the Black Flag Army, but it was also one of the three Wuling pro-army, and every prestige was exchanged for blood on the battlefield, if it was really so easy to fight, it would be strange.

"It seems that the other party is trying to drag us here."

Wang Yi squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.

"That's the idea they just played!"

Zuo Meng said angrily: "At present, our army is in full swing, but it cannot last, not to mention that we have to compete for time with the Black Flag Army on the Western Front, they can afford to drag it out, we can't afford it, we can't afford it, we can only ignore the lives of our brothers and launch a strong attack." ”

Wang Yi shook his head: "If we launch a strong attack, even if we really break through the defense line, we won't have much combat power left, so what kind of roundabout outflanking is there to talk about?" ”

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What are our casualties now?" ”

Zuo Meng said: "These days, although we have fought a few tough battles, we have withdrawn in time, and then seized the time to fully repair, the real casualties are only thousands, and the main force is still alive at the moment." ”

Wang Yi nodded and said: "Slow down the offensive, just make a show, the most important thing is to ensure that we have sufficient strength, and we must not lose all our old capital here." ”

Zuo Meng was stunned: "But the big marshal wants us to break through the blockade at all costs, this is ......"

Without waiting for Zuo Meng to finish speaking, Wang Yi waved his hand and said: "It's useless, if we are blocked here, it means that the plan of the surprise attack has been ruined, even if we forcibly break through the blockade, another group of men and horses will come to intercept it immediately, and in the end it will only increase casualties." ”

Zuo Meng opened his mouth, originally wanting to say: "Even this can put pressure on the Silent Annihilation Army and help the commander turn the tide of the battle." ”

But he saw that Wang Yi seemed to have other ideas, and finally couldn't help but say this sentence.

Wang Yi saw what he was thinking, pointed to the map and said, "Come and see!" ”

His fingers slid down the marked battle line, eventually landing on an inconspicuous pass.

"The enemy's commander is very powerful, they have judged the current situation in a very short time, and made the most correct choice, the Silent Army continues to shrink the line along the valley hills, and the only breakthrough is in this valley.

If our army wants to fully break through the defense line of the Silent Annihilation Army, or even completely defeat the Annihilation Army, it must first break through this valley, but the Annihilation Army has not only hoarded heavy troops on both sides of the valley, but also the return artillery positions are nearby, once our army launches a fierce attack, it will inevitably attract a strong counterattack by the enemy.

In addition, although the current situation on the battlefield is very chaotic, the commander predicts that the Silent Annihilation Army will definitely ambush the soldiers near the valley, and when our offensive is frustrated, they will immediately launch a counterattack, and if they are lucky, they may be able to reverse the offensive and defensive momentum with a single charge.

Therefore, if our army wants to take the mountain valley defense line as soon as possible, it needs to gather at least 70,000 people to launch a general attack, and it must also maintain a continuous offensive to avoid the enemy's counterattack.

However, the commander said before the battle that although we have invested nearly 300,000 troops at present, in order to expand the battle line and force the Silent Annihilation Army to divide troops to defend, the 300,000 people of our army are scattered on the battlefield like sprinkling beans, and there are simply not enough troops to launch a threatening attack on the valley defense line.

Now the battle has turned into a refueling war, the two sides are actually competing for consumption capacity, and our army has no spare strength to show a truly deadly sharp knife, and the result can be imagined if it continues like this. ”

"Didn't Marshal Xiao say that there would be reinforcements?"

After listening to Wang Yi's analysis, Zuo Meng said the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

Wang Yi sneered and said, "Reinforcements? In addition to the really unusable border army, the saint almost gave all the troops that could be mobilized to the east and west fronts, and even almost emptied the grassland, and now even the saint himself can't take out a single soldier, where are there any reinforcements? ”

"But Xiao Dashuai didn't mean ......"

"That's just to stabilize the morale of the army and give us generals more hope in their hearts, if you want to say that the reinforcements are only Xu Rui's hundreds of remnants who don't know where to hide.

Hehe, even if they really come to help, I'm afraid it's not enough for the Southern Dynasties to stuff their teeth, what role can they play?

What's more, Xu Rui has always been treacherous, letting others be substitutes for the dead, and he is the best at benefiting the fisherman behind his back, and now the battle is so fierce, I don't think he dares to come at all. ”

Zuo Meng was shocked when he heard this: "In this way, isn't our army doomed to defeat?" I really don't know what kind of madness Xiao Shangshu had, he even ignored the opinions of the marshal, and launched this battle with all his might, alas......"

Wang Yi snorted coldly and said: "Isn't this clear, Xiao Jinwu is clearly wearing a pair of pants with Xu Rui, Xu Rui said to the east, he will go east, Xu Rui said to the west, he will go west, but I don't know that Xu Rui has only been fighting for a few days, and he really regards him as a soldier saint!" ”

"This Xu Rui again? This little puppet dog fights people, he is simply a cunning villain who does not learn and has no skills, Xiao Dashuai mistakenly believes in traitors, misleads the country and the people, and when Lao Tzu returns to the capital, he will definitely go to the saint to sue him! ”

Zuo Meng said indignantly.

Wang Yi shook his head: "Wait to go back?" If this battle is defeated, my Great Wei will inevitably perish, and I don't know where the Holy Lord is at that time, who are you going to complain to? ”

"This ......"

As soon as Wang Yi said this, Zuo Meng's face suddenly tightened, and his face became very ugly.

"Dashuai, is there really no way?"

Zuo Meng frowned and asked.

Wang Yi sneered: "There is naturally a way, and Ben Shuai has a plan, which can not only make the army desperate, but also maybe make a decisive battle." ”

"Oh? What else does the big guy have to do? ”

A glimmer of hope ignited in Zuo Meng's heart and asked eagerly.

Wang Yi looked around, grabbed Zuo Meng's wrist, and said in a low voice: "It's very simple, since the valley defense line is the key, and our army doesn't have enough strength to fight, then why don't the left guards of our Chinese army gnaw this hard bone?"

If our 50,000 men and horses can retain enough combat strength, and then unknowingly break away from the battle line and rush to the valley defense line to fight, they will be the greatest hero of this battle! ”

This battle is indeed planned by Xu Rui, but Wang Yi can see that the valley defense line is the key to this battle, as long as he is the one who wins this defense line, he can pick Xu Rui's peaches, no matter how much effort Xu Rui makes, it will become his wedding dress.

Zuo was taken aback: "Didn't you say that the valley defense line is extremely difficult to fight?" ”

Wang Yi said with a smile: "It's difficult for others, but it's not necessarily for Ben Shuai, even you can't think of things, how can the Silent Annihilation Army think of it?" If our army can really attack by surprise and attack it unprepared, the chance of victory is more than eighty percent! ”

"This ......"

Zuo Meng hesitated and said: "Marshal, if our army rashly leaves the line, it will be equivalent to exposing the rear battalion in front of the enemy, and if the Chinese army is taken by the enemy......

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yi glanced at him fiercely, causing him to swallow back the second half of his words.

Wang Yi sneered: "At present, almost all the main forces are on the front line, even if the Silent Annihilation Army takes the camp of our army, it is just a death of Xiao Jinwu, as long as our army can overcome the valley defense line and turn the tide of the battle, everything is worth it."

During the Battle of Jingyang, Xu Rui was able to use the 300,000 troops of the imperial court as bait to bring the 20,000 remnants of the Northern Wuwei back to the Northern Kingdom, why can't I sacrifice a Xiao Jinwu in exchange for a chance to survive my Great Wei?

Don't worry, even if Xiao Jinwu knows about this, he will be willing to sacrifice, not to mention that even if he opposes it, the saint will definitely not oppose it for the sake of the country! ”

"Handsome ......"

Hearing this, Zuo Meng's eyelids jumped wildly, Wang Yi's words were tantamount to explicitly saying that he wanted to murder the commander, which was a taboo in the army.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Wang Yi immediately lowered his face and said, "Why, have you forgotten how Xu Rui humiliated you back then?" I just picked you up from the camp that day, and Xiao Jinwu came to wipe Xu Rui's ass with his hind feet, without considering your feelings at all, and now you pity him? ”

Zuo Meng is a tough person, he does things regardless of the consequences, and the things of the day are the shame of his life, and he doesn't want to get back to the field all the time, but now he is reminded of Wang Yi's old things, and a stream of blood suddenly surged into his head, and the last bit of worry finally disappeared.

"Okay, what the big marshal says to do, I'll do it!"

Zuo Meng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer.

"Hmph, Ben Shuai also gave you a chance, since Xiao Jinwu and Xu Rui have to be smart, no wonder Ben Shuai is ruthless, as soon as he succeeds in ten thousand bones, Ben Shuai will step on your dry bones and climb up, don't shout injustice when you get to the ghost gate!"

Wang Yi muttered in his heart and laughed.
