Chapter 148: Blood Sacrifice (1)
At most, they let their men take risks, and they sit back and enjoy the results.
But now, Mandu Ratu asked them to attack the city in person, and they couldn't help but wonder if Mandu Latu had lost his mind and gone crazy.
If they die in battle, will Mandu Ratu be able to afford it?
They represent not only themselves, but also the intricate web of relationships that stretch behind them. Among these networks, there are by no means one or two who are more advanced than Mandu Latu.
When the time comes, even if Mandu Ratu succeeds in counterinsurgency, don't try to curry favor.
A bad, even the least cared about massacre, can be a reason for Mandu Rathu's guilt.
Meng Yuan ruled China for more than 100 years, and he had long learned the use of "two mouths of official characters". It's not too easy to get a person guilty!
"General......" several commanders shouted in unison.
Mandu Ratu interrupted them again, saying categorically: "This is the final military order!" Unless you want to disobey military orders, you can go to your respective armies now. ”
Under the military order, there was only an embarrassing silence.
The generals stopped talking, but looked at Mandu Ratu with different eyes. These eyes are hateful, pitying, incomprehensible, and cold......
However, no matter what the generals thought in their hearts, when Mandu Rathu came up with military orders, they could only respect the orders - the military orders were like a mountain.
The generals were ordered to leave.
Looking at the generals' tense or flamboyant backs when they were ordered to leave. Mandu Latu knew that he had offended his generals miserably.
But he had a reason to do it!
The attack and defense of the city became more and more fierce.
With the addition of more and more middle-level generals of Mengyuan. The combat strength of the Meng Yuan army that besieged the city was very significantly enhanced. Coupled with the fact that they were already engaged in first-class military skills, the battle situation began to shift to the side of Meng Yuan.
The Protectors could no longer be as calm and methodical as before.
They began to care about one at the expense of the other, feeling that every section of the city wall was in danger of being attacked. As a result, there are more mistakes and omissions in the chaos, and they are even more hurried.
Outcome. More and more Mengyuan soldiers, led by their respective generals, rushed to the city wall and quickly formed a military formation to gain a firm foothold. Then. More Mongol and Yuan soldiers followed one after another and continued to expand the occupied area.
The soldiers of the Protector Army are already working hard, but they still can't stop the Meng Yuan soldiers who are also desperate.
The reserves led by Haichuan, Jia Taoyu, and Long Weiwen also worked hard, but they also couldn't stop the increase in the number of Mengyuan soldiers on the city wall.
In war. The strength of an individual (as long as it is not an extraordinary strength like Pang Shiyuan) is still limited after all. It is impossible to decide the outcome of the war. What can really determine the outcome is the overall strength of the entire army.
The Protector Army, after all, is still too short to form an army, and its combat strength still cannot be compared with the old Mengyuan army.
Even though Pang Shiyuan, Chen He and others had already worked hard to raise their fighting experience by forming a temporary Dharma Protector Regiment and using the combat experience of the soldiers of the Protector Army, the time was still too hasty, even if the morale of the Protector Army was high and they were not afraid of death. It is also impossible to make up for the gap in military skills and overall combat effectiveness.
In addition to the carefully selected elite army like the teaching regiment, it can suppress the Mengyuan army under the leadership of the strong. Once the other French Protector armies confronted the Mengyuan army head-on, even if it was a defensive battle based on the city, it would be extremely difficult.
Needless to say, it's just archery.
The power of Meng Yuan's soldiers to shoot arrows under the city wall is actually greater than that of the Protector Army on the city wall, and they have also formed a bow and arrow suppression, so you can know the huge gap between the two armies.
Looking at the city wall again, it is clear that there are more soldiers in the French Protector Army and they are more fully prepared, but as long as the Mengyuan soldiers can form a military formation with middle-level generals (centurions, brand heads, etc.) as the core, and initially gain a firm foothold, it will be very difficult for the French Protector Army to knock them down the city wall.
From a few people, to a dozen people, and then to dozens of people, it is completely impossible to contain.
The pressure on the Protectors is growing, growing.
The gap in military strength and technical cultivation was completely revealed at this moment.
And this has to be said to be true, their original judgment was correct.
Zhengshi and they believed that with the help of the power of the Meng Yuan government, they could easily eliminate Pang Shiyuan and the rebels, and they would be able to successfully complete the task.
So they worked hard and succeeded in making the Meng Yuan government, which did not take the rebels seriously, to face up to the existence of the rebels and send troops in advance, which also interrupted Pang Shiyuan's plan to train and confuse.
Now it seems that they did the right thing.
The Protector Army, who had no time, was indeed no match for the Mengyuan army.
It's just that they can't be happy when the plan comes true.
Their position at this time is no longer on Meng Yuan's side. In this case, Meng Yuan has the advantage, why are they happy?
"Honestly, the Protector seems to be a little bad!" Seeing that more and more Mengyuan soldiers occupied the city wall of Shixian, but the Protector Army could not drive them down in time, Zhengxuan was a little worried.
Zhengshi was very indifferent, and said confidently: "Don't worry. You see, on the city tower, Pang Shiyuan has only shot arrows until now, and has never shot directly at all. This shows that everything is still under control. and the cavalry that made the Mengyuan army lose face before, also did not appear. It also shows that the Protector Army still has spare strength. ”
As soon as Zhengxuan analyzed this, Zhengxuan and they all nodded when they looked at Pang Shiyuan, who was standing firmly on the city tower and shooting arrows.
Pang Shiyuan's strength, what they have heard and witnessed in the past few days, they have understood enough, he definitely has the extraordinary strength to change the outcome of a war by himself.
Since Pang Shiyuan has not made a full shot, it means that this city offensive and defensive battle is still to be fought.
And what happened next also proves the true analysis, this war has just begun!
"Actually, I'm more worried about Mandu Ratu and the old shaman." Masashi was not happy that his analysis was recognized, but rather a little worried.
"What happened to them?" Zhengsheng was a little puzzled.
"Yes! What tricks can they play now? Doesn't it mean that the altars along the road have been destroyed, so that the old shaman's sacrificial practice has failed, and he is still cultivating? When Zhengdan spoke, his tone was a little gloating.
In the army, rumors are forbidden to spread.
However, Zhengsheng can now walk in the army openly, and the officers and men in the army are now convinced of them, so naturally there will be no shortage of news about them.
Even the news that Mandu Rathu deliberately concealed could not escape their ears and eyes. (To be continued.) )
