Chapter 327: The Decisive Battle (1)
Listen well, from the time the Black Flag Army marches westward to the time they completely defeat the 90,000 soldiers on the Western Front, it will not take more than ten hours at most, and these ten hours will be the time for us to defeat the Silent Annihilation Army.
In the limited time, even if we can't win a big victory, we must cause enough pressure to force the Black Flag Army to return to help, as long as we can make it difficult for the Black Flag Army to take care of both the beginning and the end, our opportunity will come, this is what Xu Rui said 'Siege silence to save the West'"
At the left moment of the combat meeting, Xiao Jinwu arranged the combat mission and said the last sentence to the generals in a loud voice.
Although Xu Rui tampered with the idiom of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", his combat ideas were the same as those of Sun Bin thousands of years ago, and the key to this battle was to see whether the main force of the Northern Dynasties could put enough pressure on the Silent Annihilation Army and mobilize the Black Flag Army.
Once the Silent Annihilation Army fell into a situation of life and death, the Black Flag Army had to give up its mobile advantage and return to the aid of the Silent Annihilation Army, and at that time, Xiao Jin Wuda could deal with Zhong Qingyuan in the same way that Sun Bin dealt with Pang Juan in the Battle of Maling.
And if Zhong Qingyuan made a desperate gamble and still insisted on defeating the Western Front first, Xiao Jinwu could only bite the bullet and eat the Silent Annihilation Army, so that the two sides would still be on the same starting line.
Xu Rui didn't know how Zhong Qingyuan would choose, but this plan was almost the last chance to survive in the dead.
Less than half an hour after the end of the combat meeting, Xiao Jinwu raised his army and launched a counterattack against the Silent Annihilation Army, and invested nearly 300,000 troops on the frontal battlefield more than 20 miles wide.
After the Black Flag Army left, the Silent Annihilation Army also expected that Xiao Jinwu might react violently, but they didn't expect that he would really jump over the wall in a hurry, so recklessly.
At the beginning of the battle, the ill-prepared Silent Army was attacked head-on, and the several battalions that had been charging the Northern Army were immediately routed by the tsunami-like enemy.
However, Tong Yang, the commander of the Silent Annihilation Army, was by no means an ordinary person, the moment he received the battle report, he immediately understood Xiao Jinwu's purpose, and quickly turned from attack to defense, relying on weapons such as return cannons and dragon shields, and established a line of defense along the hilly area.
At the same time, Tong Yang sent people to sprinkle a large number of sharp iron nails in the open area to block the charge of the Northern Dynasty cavalry, and then divided two teams of 10,000 men each to bypass the frontal defense line and raid the flank of the Northern Dynasty army, disrupting Xiao Jinwu's offensive rhythm in a vain attempt to delay time.
Tong Yang knew very well that such a fierce attack by the Northern Dynasty would inevitably be powerless, and the key to victory or defeat was whether he could withstand the few hours of the Northern Dynasty's ruin.
If Zhong Qingyuan can wait for Zhong Qingyuan to win the victory on the Western Front and arrive with tens of thousands of reinforcements, the tired main force of the Northern Dynasty will no longer have the strength to fight back, then the Northern Dynasty will really run out of energy, and the Southern Dynasty will have no waves in dominating the world.
The generals of the Northern Dynasty naturally understood this truth very well, and the pre-war mobilization was just a word, either to win this battle, or to be willing to be slaves of the country.
In order to save his old friends on the Western Front, Chi Shengwei fought the hardest, and the right guard of the tiger was like a chisel, taking the lead in breaking into the main position of the Silent Annihilation Army, and broke through the enemy's three lines of defense one after another.
But just as they were about to tear the hole and let the follow-up troops penetrate the enemy camp in one fell swoop, the Silent Annihilation Army, which came to the aid later, cut off the connection between the Tiger Ben's right guard and the reinforcements under the cover of the return artillery, and divided and surrounded them.
Even so, the Tiger Ben Right Guard still resisted stubbornly, the number of the Silent Annihilation Army was too small to annihilate it, in order to avoid being completely surrounded by the enemy, the Silent Annihilation Army had to temporarily confront the Tiger Ben Right Guard, and dispersed the already small forces to establish a broad defensive line.
The rapid response of the Silent Annihilation Army caused Xiao Jinwu to rely on his numerical superiority to abort his plan to surround the enemy in one bite, and the two sides launched the bloodiest and most brutal battle on the open frontal battlefield.
At the beginning, because the battle line was too long, an average of five or six enemies had to be faced by a silent sergeant, and the numerical advantage of the Northern Korean army was too huge, and it completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield.
However, the Silent Annihilation Army still relied on its strong combat power to block Xiao Jinwu's tidal attack, and then alternately covered and retreated, shrinking the defense of the camp step by step.
The Annihilation Army was like a spring, shrinking tighter and tighter, and the strength of the rebound became stronger and stronger, and when the battlefield was reduced to one-third of its original size, they were able to stabilize the tide of battle.
However, when the battlefield continued to shrink, the large armies of the Northern Dynasties began to overlap, a large number of troops could not be deployed, and the numerical advantage was sharply reduced.
In order to reverse this situation, Xiao Jinwu decided to open up a new battlefield, and ordered Liang Tongfang and Wang Yi to lead their headquarters to bypass the frontal battlefield on the north and south sides at the same time, and launch a surprise attack from the rear of the Silent Annihilation Army.
As the so-called heroes see the same, these two groups of centaurs have just begun to make a detour, and they collide head-on with the two strange troops of the Silent Annihilation Army, and start a decisive battle on the spot.
The battle situation has once again fallen into a stalemate, if you can look down from the sky, you will find that the entire battlefield is intertwined, and the two sides are repeatedly fighting for a commanding height.
"Chi Shuai ......"
At the forefront of the battle, the guards carried a corpse in front of Chi Shengwei.
The corpse was already a blur of flesh and blood, the armor on his chest had long been smashed into pieces by the enemy's spear, he was very young, at most eighteen or nineteen years old, his face did not show any fear, he still remained hideous, obviously until the last moment before he lost his breath and was still fighting the enemy.
The moment he saw this corpse, Chi Shengwei, who was over fifty years old, was shocked, this person was none other than his youngest son Chi Changyun.
"Big marshal, the little general was blocked from charging and did not retreat, and he was martyred."
Zhang Xiaoqi, the commander of the guards, said with a sad face.
Chi Shengwei stretched out his trembling hand, wiped his son's face, slowly closed his round eyes, and then didn't look at the cold corpse, and said loudly: "There are tens of millions of dead and wounded soldiers, and it is beyond the boss's care, this corpse will be temporarily abandoned here, and in the future, the soldiers below the fifth grade will not have to report to the commander!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Xiaoqi waved his hand at the soldiers around him, signaling them to carry down Chi Changyun's body.
Chi Shengwei asked, "Where is the forward battalion?" ”
Zhang Xiaoqi said: "The forward battalion is about a mile ahead, surrounded by the enemy, and has lost contact with the battalion. ”
"General Ling Zhonglang will lead the army to continue to attack, and it is necessary to establish contact with the forward battalion!"
Ji Shengwei said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "Marshal Qiqi, just now the enemy army attacked the flank of our army, and the second battalion of Anguo and Red Fox was defeated. ”
Chi Shengwei frowned, groaned slightly, suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "The pro-guard battalion listens to the order, and goes into battle with Ben Shuai in person, be sure to open the passage with the forward battalion and bring them back!" ”
Zhang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately turned his head to gather the guard battalion, preparing to go to the front line with Chi Shengwei in person.
Such a scene abounds, and under the critical situation of the war, these marshals of the imperial court did not hesitate to lead the pro-army to rush to the front line, and inspired the soldiers to continue to fight with their blood.
No one can afford to lose this battle, especially the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, it can be said that the fate of the whole country depends on them, even if they have not fought a few battles before, but the situation forces them to defend their homeland with blood.
In a desperate situation, if you want to turn the Jedi around, you naturally need to be united, everyone gives their best, but some people do their best, and naturally there are people who cheat and cheat, such as Wang Yi who is angry in his heart.
