Chapter 640 Tragic Attack and Defense, the Disadvantage of the Cannon Fodder Legion

Thank you "Lazy Sheep and Sheep" for your persistent daily reward for this book, and unconsciously promoted to the protector of the Dharma, thank you. [No pop-up novel network]

Guys, I'm shouting for recommendation votes again.

From the beginning of October, to the beginning of November. For a month, except for the ferocious offensive on the first day of the general battle, the rest of the time was basically a light and light fight.

On this cold day, a large-scale battle finally broke out in a way that no one expected.

The Shangyang Army suddenly threw in 600,000 troops and launched an offensive on all fronts. It was like igniting an explosive* packet, which immediately detonated the battle between the north and the south, leading to a magnificent battle that was bound to be decided or lost.

Everyone admits how beautiful Fu Xiwen's hand is, and they can't ignore that the execution of the Shangyang Army is quite good. In just two hours, the execution transformation from defense to offense was completed.

Sudden enough, stealthy enough. The Northern Tang Army naturally suffered a loss.

Since Wang Ce took office and annihilated the Great World Army, he has successfully changed the offensive and defensive posture of the Northern Tang Army and the Shangyang Army.

During the month-long stalemate phase, the Northern Tang Army implemented Wang Ce's strategic thinking and maintained an offensive posture. There is simply not and cannot be too carefully arranged for the forward line of defense. In fact, the Northern Tang Army had only one forward defense line on the east, west, and central routes.

When the Shangyang Army invested 600,000 troops to launch an attack on all fronts, the Northern Tang Army was defeated on all fronts without any suspense.

Before the war, many people thought that Wang Ce was a halfway monk and lacked military literacy. After discovering that the Shangyang army was attacking on all fronts, Wang Ce only said one sentence and ended the controversy.

Wang Ce said: "Order, instruct the rear army to prepare to collect the rout. It was this sentence that put an end to all controversy.

At that time, the Shangyang Army was about to launch an attack on all fronts, and Wang Ce didn't even think much about it, he judged that the front army of the Northern Tang Army would definitely be defeated, and his military quality was a little worse, so he might not be able to make this judgment.

One controversy ended, only to erupt another. After the generals studied the war examples, a controversy was born about "whether Wang Ce is a military genius".

At this moment, Wang Ce really didn't think about whether he was a famous general or a military genius.

If it were another person, even if it was a famous general, it would probably be defeated. However, Fu Xiwen was unlucky that his opponent was Wang Ce.

The Northern Tang Army will be defeated, but the War Spirit Army will not.

The three major theaters of war in the east, west and central have two million cannon fodder regiments each, and Wang Ce will replenish them every two or three days.

At the same time as the rout of the front army, the cannon fodder regiment launched a sniper battle after the break with the terrifying number, successfully forcing the Shangyang army to stop the pursuit, creating time and opportunity for the Northern Tang Army to gather the rout and regroup.

And then...... The first phase of the War of the North and the South ended. Move on to the second phase.

That is, the stalemate phase of the war. The situation of the past month was completely reversed, the Shangyang Army attacked fiercely, and the Northern Tang Army defended.

After the war, the generals generally believed that the first stage of the Armageddon of the Battle of the North and the South was a classic, and the second stage was the most tragic offensive and defensive battle, and it was also the most insipid stage of the Armageddon.

......

......

"Grass!"

Lao Yang scolded angrily, he didn't have the heart to be afraid, but in the most flexible way, he led his subordinates to keep shuttling and charging: "It's all fucking close, and Lao Tzu doesn't care about you when the ball dies." ”

Countless catapults roared, and hundreds of catties of boulders fell like rain.

Boom boom, it's really like artillery bombardment. The boulder fell down and rolled to the ground, and the impact of the explosion hit countless people to the point of either spurting blood or flesh.

This is the sound of countless Shangyang soldiers who could not dodge being smashed on the spot by a boulder.

A huge jar smashed to the ground, spilling fire oil all over the floor.

"Bastard of the Northern Tang Dynasty!" Lao Yang's face turned pale and roared: "Hurry up!"

The flaming fireballs were mixed with countless boulders, and they were frantically thrown thousands of meters and bombarded down. Whirring, in the blink of an eye, countless fire oils were ignited, and they immediately burned into a sea of fire, devouring thousands of Shangyang soldiers.

It was not an array battle, it was not a mutual charge, but the most tragic battle.

As far as Lao Yang could see, thousands of comrades on the left and right roared like him, and he knew that on the front of the middle road for two hundred miles, there were at least tens of thousands of comrades charging like him.

The charge from the farmland, from the hills, from the rocks, from the mountains and forests, was overwhelming like a furious tide.

At this time, no one cares or pays attention to the battle formation, just the craziest and fastest charge. Because everyone knows that if you can't rush through the defense line of the Northern Tang Army, it is a dead end.

This is a charge that has no advance or retreat.

Lao Yang couldn't help but lead the reduced subordinates, roaring angrily, while trying to beckon his subordinates to follow. When he rushed to more than 1,000 meters, his legs and stomach trembled and he roared loudly to vent the fear in his heart: "Keep up, keep up!"

He knew that the most painful and tragic part of the journey was about to begin.

On the defensive line of the Northern Tang Army, an officer coldly ordered: "Heavy crossbows, archers, prepare!"

"Heavy crossbow, shoot. Archers, throw!"

Like a rain of arrows like dark clouds, shooting from the top of the head, from the opposite side, overwhelmingly. Buzzing, like many, many bees coming together.

Lao Yang didn't know what a three-dimensional attack was, but he experienced it. Luckily leading fewer subordinates, he rushed over by luck, shouting: "Open the bag and throw it!"

As he and his men ran, they opened the cloth bags and spilled a large amount of dirt as they ran, covering the small trenches on the ground with oil.

"Rockets, salvos. There was a roar from the position of the Northern Tang Army.

The overwhelming rockets, bursting out with the power of heavy crossbows, carried burning flames, shot thousands of people with a pop, and ignited the fire oil on the ground. It burns as soon as it soars.

This rocket box is divided into a variety of specifications, some can hold 100 arrows at a time, and some can hold about 20 arrows at a time. Fortunately, this thing is expensive to build, it is not easy to fill, there are not many countries in any country, and I don't pay too much attention to it.

"Be careful, trenches. ”

I don't know who rushed to the front, shouting loudly to remind my comrades. Lao Yang turned around and shouted, "Don't jump! Don't go down the trench." ”

A few subordinates with little experience in attacking fortifications forgot about it and flew into the sky. Hundreds of meters away, the smiling Northern Tang sergeant raised his bow and arrow, and when these people fell, they had already turned into corpses.

Several of his subordinates also forgot and jumped down the trench. But they found that the trench was full of sharp objects, and after a few pops, these people could not come up.

A Shangyang Army commander watched his subordinates fall on the charging road with an expressionless face, the corners of his mouth twitched painfully, and he slowly knelt down on one knee in front of the commander: "General, let's send out the air attack battalion! They are all good, but they really can't hold on." ”

No one saw it, the commander clenched his fists, his muscles flare up, and he coldly refused: "No, the commander has no order!"

With tears streaming down his eyes, the chief watched his subordinates fall one by one, choked up inexplicably, turned around and led his guards, and charged to the battlefield almost without thinking about it.

Suddenly, the position of the Northern Tang Army erupted with a roaring and tyrannical atmosphere, and countless dense war spirits jumped out of the position frantically.

"It's over. ”

The commander of the Twentieth Legion turned pale, shook involuntarily, and his eyes were dark. After such a month of fighting, they already knew that Wang Ce didn't care about the loss of these war spirits at all.

These first-level battle spirits are really weak and weak. But, there are really a lot of them.

The commander of the Third and Fourth Legions cried loudly: "Commander, I beg you, I beg you, please send the elite." If the fight continues like this, the soldiers will all be sacrificed. They walked too much to lose. ”

Fu Xiwen's complexion was pale, and it seemed that the fiasco on his face had infected his whole body. He coldly refused: "No! No one is allowed to use elite troops without my order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

Hard-hearted, that's all.

The commander of the Third and Fourth Army Corps burst into tears and begged bitterly: "Commander, the soldiers have fought too badly, from the afternoon to now, we have suffered 130,000 casualties in the middle alone. ”

Fu Xiwen was expressionless, and said coldly: "I have already sent a lot of elite troops, how much more do you want!" ”

"Will it snow today and tomorrow?" he didn't look back, "Prepare your snow combat uniform." ”

Looking up at the sky, he whispered to himself, "It's getting dark." One hour, one more hour. Hope all sacrifices...... It's all worth it. ”

No one noticed that the corners of Fu Xiwen's eyes were soaked with tears.

......

......

Wang Ce stomped his feet and took a breath of white air: "The days in winter are too short, how long will it be dark?"

"At most, it will be completely dark. Zhu Xiangru said in a deep voice.

Wang Ce squinted his eyes and looked at the battle on the front line: "I have a feeling that Fu Xiwen will not stop." Ning said: "The anti-freezing problem of the soldiers...... I don't want to go wrong. ”

The military staff officer hurriedly wiped his sweat and said: "Marshal, please rest assured, all anti-freeze military uniforms and equipment have been issued." ”

"Have the casualties on both sides been statistically estimated?" Wang Ce did not reply, and the military counselor hurriedly submitted the report.

Wang Ce took a closer look and was surprised: "The casualties of the Shangyang Army's three roads are between 300,000 and 400,000?

Wang Ce also knew, so he didn't ask, he flicked his fingers and reported, and said with a smile: "Isn't Fu Xiwen crazy?

He fell into the eyes of others proudly, Xie Shimian couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed and reminded: "Marshal, our army's casualties are not big, but ......" He emphasized in an accentuated tone: "Most of the casualties are transferred to the War Spirit Army." ”

"Marshal, you only replenished the Battle Spirit Army for the middle lane once an hour ago. If I'm not wrong, I'll soon ask for a supplement. ”

It's just a cannon fodder army, Wang Ce doesn't care too much. Hearing this, his heart suddenly moved: "No, the three roads add up, plus I add up to the middle lane, that's eight million." ”

"Judging from the experience of the last general, from this afternoon to now, the War Spirit Army has lost at least five million. Xie Shimian persuaded in a low voice, and as soon as he said it, his face gradually changed: "No!"

Wang Ce frowned, the number of casualties was too large, and the casualty ratio of the Shangyang Army was twice as high as in the past month.

Wrong.

Wang Ce stared for a while, and his expression changed suddenly: "The killing efficiency of the cannon fodder army in defensive battles is far lower than that in attacking fortified battles. That's when he noticed.

"Not good. Fu Xiwen, this old fox, when did he discover this disadvantage?"

Wang Ce chuckled in his heart, and shouted: "Sand table!"
