Chapter 272: Stalemate Defense, Protracted Battle
The two regiments, relying on their excellent morale and considerable professional combat ability, broke through a gap, and then kept relying on rifles and submachine guns, as well as soldiers who fought on the side to delay time, and constantly escaped from this encirclement.
The departing soldiers also did not flee immediately, but covered the retreat in an orderly manner.
On the contrary, Ye Lie's army, which was focused on the encirclement, suffered a big loss.
"Two thousand people, can you fight like this?"
Ye Lie, who came to the city tower to watch the battle, sighed.
He didn't know whether he should hate or envy.
Ye Yu's army is well-trained, except for the small number of people, there are basically no shortcomings, and even the breakout can be so disciplined in an army of 30,000!
This really is the army of his dreams.
On the other hand, if he has 30,000 people and has lost a lot of people, he still let half of these 2,000 people escape!
And those who did not escape are still fighting, fighting to the last moment and would rather die than surrender!
"Your Majesty, the battle is over."
Ye Lie looked at the army in front of him blankly, a little distracted, and only after the black tiger came to report did he react.
"If only my army could be like this, how good it would be......"
Ye Lie sighed and came back to his senses, "How are the casualties?" ”
"Your Majesty, a total of 23,000 people participated in the siege battle, 1,000 were killed, 3,000 were seriously injured, 1,200 Ye Yu's army were eliminated, and the rest were let run away."
The black tiger reported truthfully.
Now that the war has begun, it is simply impossible to retrain the army according to this situation.
"Well, I know, 20,000 people are resting and stationed here."
Ye Lie nodded, thought and said.
"Your Majesty, since you have occupied the city tower on the border, do you use their railway to drive directly into it?"
Black Tiger tentatively suggested.
But before the words of this suggestion fell, it was vetoed by Ye Lie.
"No, the railway was built by Ye Yu, and he knows the importance of the railway better than me."
"Do you think Ye Yu will be on guard?"
Ye Lie slowly spoke, "The whole army rests, do a good job, dig those ditches, and prevent them from raiding." ”
"Yes!"
Black Tiger nodded.
"Did the cannons cross the river?"
Then Ye Lie asked.
He felt that the cannon in his hand was the only advantage against Ye Yu's army.
For a new musket like Ye Yu, and even an automatic weapon, it has an absolute range advantage.
In land warfare, aside from the tactics that can find a way to get close, artillery is the god of war.
"The cannon is too heavy to cross the river, and now the minister is ordering part of the army to build bridges based on those chariots."
The black tiger shook his head as he spoke, "I guess it will take some time." ”
"Well, during this time, find out some people from the musket team and let them adapt to Ye Yu's equipment."
"I want them to be a commando and have a good fight with Ye Yu in the future!"
Ye Lie said and left the small city tower on the border between King Anding and the Southern Dynasty.
He took the black tiger to the study of the king of Anding.
"Your Majesty is here, and the minister is sincerely afraid!"
King Anding and Linghe were discussing future countermeasures when they suddenly found that Ye Lie had come in with a black tiger.
Anxious, they could only immediately get up and salute Ye Lie.
"That's not necessary, fourth uncle, you have contributed a lot to this war."
Ye Lie said and smiled slightly, "If you hadn't made Ye Yu suffer a lot before the battle, I'm afraid I wouldn't have entered so easily." ”
Anyway, the most difficult defense line in the Southern Dynasty has been taken by Ye Lie, and there is no problem in saying it now.
"This will still be done by the unstoppable courage of Your Majesty and Your Majesty's army."
King Anding spoke slowly, not even daring to look up.
"However, I heard that there is a lot of gunpowder in your territory."
Ye Lie spoke slowly, "Fourth Uncle, raise your head." ”
Hearing this, King Anding and Linghe's hearts suddenly cooled, and they raised their heads in horror.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Didn't know about it. ”
After hesitating for a moment, King Anding slowly spoke.
"It's okay, I didn't know at the beginning, I thought Ye Yu suddenly wanted to lose money to help you."
Ye Lie raised his hand and motioned for them to relax, "Fourth Uncle, King Gong's territory is relatively large, have you considered it?" ”
And after these words, King Anding and Linghe both understood what Ye Lie meant.
Ye Lie looked at the mineral resources in his territory.
After all, he has no technology, but Ye Lie and Ye Yu have the technology to mine.
"Your Majesty's meaning, is the minister going to move to the territory of King Gong?"
King Anding asked.
"What does the fourth uncle think?"
"Now that I am officially at war with Ye Yu, Fourth Uncle, this place of yours is considered a war area."
"If you move out, there is no danger of war."
Ye Lie said slowly, "If you move to the land where King Gong once was, the place is large and the population is large, there is a seaport where you can trade, and the living conditions are much better than here. ”
These conditions are indeed tempting.
King Anding swallowed.
But what he was most afraid of was that Ye Yu would be taken down directly by Ye Lie.
When Ye Lie obtains those weapons of Ye Yu, he will be even more toyed with by Ye Lie!
"This ...... Please ask Your Majesty Rongchen to think about this? ”
"Is it possible to reply within three days?"
King Anding spoke slowly, raising his head slightly to look at Ye Lie.
Ye Lie seemed to be very happy, after all, after winning the battle, he was now attacking on all fronts, and anyone would be in a much better mood.
"No problem, please think about it carefully, and then we can move the people out and let me use this place as a military camp."
Ye Lie said and nodded with a smile, and then left with the black tiger.
"Your Highness, this time, Ye Lie is probably already thinking about the post-war."
Linghe opened his mouth and said, "Moving the territory, and then relying on the geographical advantage, either force His Highness to rebel, or fully control His Highness." ”
"I know that too!"
King Anding said and sighed, "What can I do?" ”
"The minister also has to rearrange the intelligence personnel, the territory is large, there are many vacancies, and the black tiger is estimated to interfere."
Linghe said thoughtfully.
"This is forcing me to stand in line and completely stand on his side."
King Anding spoke, "It is estimated that we are doing business with Ye Yu, which makes Ye Lie suspicious. ”
He thought about it for a long time, and was silent.
In the end, it was decided to migrate.
After all, Ye Lie had won a battle that they couldn't even imagine.
"The main thing is that Ye Yu lost."
Linghe said and sighed, "I saw it well before." Ye Lie attacked Ye Yu several times, and Ye Yu was defended. ”
"I don't know how Ye Lie took it down, but ...... Maybe it's a lot of people. ”
"I heard the gunfire before, Ye Yu estimated that there were no more than three thousand people here."
King Anding said slowly, "Even if it is a business, it is impossible to turn hundreds of thousands of people into a musket team, and even Ye Lie can't do it." ”
Because of Ye Yu's defeat, King Anding finally decided to move to the original territory of King Gong.
Ye Lie set up as Gongzhou, and King Anding left as soon as possible.
