Fighting is definitely going to be fought, and where to do it is also a place to test wisdom.

All the generals agreed that it was the most unwise to directly attack the Eastern Emperor's Army in the middle at present. Because the Eastern Prince's central army was the largest in number and had support from both the north and south, the attack on the middle part was likely to be flanked by the north and south.

In terms of the specific selection point, there were two voices among the generals, one was to attack the Southern Front Army of the Eastern Prince, where the number of people was small, and the Central Army of the Eastern Emperor was still pinned by most of the Qin army, so it could not rush to the southern front.

The other sound is to attack the east-sloping city in the northeast, which is too important. It is at the intersection of the Eastern Prince, the Northern Prince, and the Qin Army.

As long as you take the East Tilting City, you can completely cut off the ground communication between the Eastern Prince and the Northern Prince, which is of absolute significance to the entire battle situation.

Qin Ning summed up the opinions of all parties and finally decided to attack the East Tilt City again.

In order to contain the strength of the various group armies of the Eastern Prince, Qin Ning ordered the Southern Wu Chongtong Army to advance fifty miles to the enemy to harass the enemy on a small scale, and under certain conditions, the enemy could be bombarded with heavy artillery, but not to engage in a frontal ground battle with the enemy. As soon as the enemy is aware of an attack attempt, it immediately disengages and attacks the enemy for the purpose of harassment.

The central group army of the Qin army sent countless assassination squads to specifically touch the forward posts of the enemy's central army, mainly assassinating the opponent's generals, creating a false impression of panic for the group army where the Eastern Prince was located.

Qin Ning dispatched 300,000 Qin troops and went straight to the east.

The situation in the East-Leaning City that Tanma gave back is finally normal. The 500,000 Northern Front Group Army of the Eastern Prince all moved into the Donglian City and reinforced the place that had just been damaged. At the same time, a number of defensive bunkers were built outside the city.

In the usual siege of the city, the tactic of besieging the city is usually adopted. Only by concentrating all the enemy's vital forces in the city can we effectively carry out key strikes.

However, the situation of the eastern tilting city is very special because of the current war, in the south, the eastern tilting city has the support of the Eastern Prince's Central Army, and the north is not too far from the army in the area controlled by the Northern Prince. The city has an army of 500,000 troops, which is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements from each side.

In view of these special circumstances, Qin Ning decided to adopt the attack method of starting from the East City of the East Tilting City and implementing a carpet crushing method.

300,000 Qin troops, leaving 100,000 as reserves. The remaining 200,000 were deployed fifty miles outside the eastern part of the city, ready for a ground attack.

After the formation was unfolded, the first thing to go into battle was the carpet bombing of a hundred sorties of large aircraft.

The targets of the large aircraft are the fortifications outside the eastern part of the city, as well as the guards at the head of the eastern city.

More than a hundred large flying machines swooped down as if they were covering the sky and the sun, and under the throwing of the high-explosive high-grade alchemy products carried by the large flying machines of the fortifications outside the East Tilting City, they were lifted into the sky by a powerful explosion in an instant.

Outside the eastern city, the radius of ten miles was like purgatory, filled with flames and billowing smoke.

Large aircraft bombed the outer positions. Immediately pounced on the head of the East City.

At this time, the anti-aircraft fire point at the head of Dongcheng City also began to counterattack, and the rumbling cannons and the explosion of projectiles thrown by aircraft resounded in the sky.

Large aircraft are constantly being shot down from the sky. However, the defense force of the head of Dongcheng was quickly swept away under the powerful attack of the flying machine.

The first wave of bombing ended, as the large aircraft flew back. The heavy artillery battalion of the Qin army immediately pushed the heavy artillery battalion to the forefront and carried out a covering attack on the city wall and its extension in the east of the city.

After a round of artillery fire covered. The large aircraft took off again, filling up the gap for the heavy artillery battalion attack. Carry out aerial fire strikes on the deep positions of the east-leaning city.

The further the development of the eastward inclined city into the city, the artillery defense of the defenders of the eastward tilting city became more and more fierce, and more than 30 of the more than 100 large aircraft formations were shot down after two rounds of bombardment.

According to the normal order of attack, at this time it should be the heavy artillery battalion to extend the coverage and fire, the ground troops began to charge to take the east city as a strategic stronghold, and then the large force followed up and occupied the entire city.

But Qin Ning felt very bad in his heart today, and he was a little hesitant about the use of ground forces.

The generals of the forward battalion twice asked for instructions on whether to carry out a ground attack, but Qin Ning vetoed them.

According to Qin Ning's judgment, under the double blow of large aircraft and heavy artillery battalions, the actual losses of the defenders of the Dongluo City were not large. After all, the other party has a garrison of 500,000, and if you charge inside, the power of some things such as rainstorm pear flower bombs in the city will not be visible, and if you fight hand-to-hand combat, the losses of the Qin army will not be small.

The main thing is that the enemy's military spirit has not dispersed!

Judging by the firepower of the large aircraft organized by the enemy, the enemy was organized and planned. The other party's generals were obviously well versed in the offensive and defensive routines of the Qin army, perhaps the other party retreated like this and did not carry out firepower exchange, just to lure the Qin army into the city.

Once it enters the battle for the number of armies on both sides, it is still the Qin army that loses the cost!

"The heavy artillery battalion advanced to the east city and carried out non-stop fire strikes on the depth of the enemy city, and large aircraft still carried out non-stop bombing!" Qin Ning pondered for a long time, but still did not throw the ground attack troops up.

The attack on the city suddenly turned into a fierce bombardment regardless of the consumption of ammunition. The heavy artillery battalion stretched forward to the east of the city, so that the artillery coverage of the heavy artillery battalion could cover the entire east city.

The shells of the heavy artillery battalion smashed into Dongcheng like hail of money. The large flying machine also cooperated, and the entire Dongcheng was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.

By the time the heavy artillery battalion finished firing, the ground forces could not think of a move. Now there is no resistance in the entire Dongcheng, and the ground troops must go in to clear the field, if they only enter the heavy artillery troops, once the enemy's ground troops enter the shooting corner of the heavy artillery battalion, all the soldiers of the heavy artillery battalion are not enough to clean up a squad of infantry soldiers.

Qin Ning sent 10,000 vanguard troops into Dongcheng to clear the field.

The vanguard of 10,000 entered the city and immediately occupied the commanding heights. A detailed cleaning of all parts of the eastern city was carried out and found that there were no problems. The vanguard sent a signal of safety to Qin Ning.

Qin Ning ordered the heavy artillery battalion and 200,000 ground troops to enter Dongcheng. Under the cover of the heavy artillery battalion, the ground forces attacked the positions in the middle of the city. At the same time, the reserve of 100,000 reserves followed, and lined up a defensive formation outside the eastern city to prevent reinforcements from the north and prevent abnormal changes in the city.

The heavy artillery battalion soon entered a new position, and after adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, the heavy artillery battalion immediately covered the center of the city to the east.

At this moment, Tanma quickly broke into the city and reported an important situation to Qin Ning.

Straight north of the reserve upwards. A large number of combat vehicles appeared, and behind them, an unknown number of ground forces followed.

Qin Ning's heart tightened, and he immediately ordered the 200,000 ground troops who had already entered the city to withdraw from the eastward tilt city.

The generals of the ground forces thought that they had misheard, and if all the ground troops withdrew from the east-tilting city, once the enemy counterattacked, the entire heavy artillery battalion would be killed by the enemy.

Qin Ning's order was beyond doubt, and while ordering the ground troops to retreat, Qin Ning ordered all the fighters of the heavy artillery battalion to blow up the heavy artillery at once. With the withdrawal of ground forces from the East-Leaning City.

The fighters of the heavy artillery battalion blew up one heavy artillery cannon after another almost with tears in their eyes, as the ground troops withdrew from the eastward slope of the city. Qin Ning led an army of 200,000 people who had just withdrawn from the East-Leaning City, and the counterattack organized by the guards in the East-Leaning City had also begun.

Qin Ning could clearly see that due north was upward. Tanks the size of houses were moving at high speed in the direction of the reserves, and at the speed of the ground forces, it was impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the tanks.

And from the direction of the city in the east. Countless ground troops mixed with chariots also poured out of the ruins, with chariots as the pioneer. Ground forces followed suit and carried out mixed joint assaults.

Qin Ning ordered all the large aircraft to carry out aerial bombardment strikes on the combat vehicles due north. The 200,000 troops immediately retreated to their base camps, and the 100,000 reserves stayed behind to cover, fighting and retreating.

The chariots left a deep impression on the Qin army, and the high-explosive projectiles dropped by large aircraft could overturn the bombing target several times, but these chariots were like they were fine, and they could be put into battle again as soon as they moved.

A small number of chariots rushed into the ranks of the reserves, and all the weapons of the Qin soldiers were ineffective against the chariots, and the chariots did not even need to fire the shells on the chariots, but they were crushed in the Qin army, causing a large number of casualties among the reserve soldiers.

Qin Ning was blocking the chariot in the direction of the eastern tilting city, seeing this situation, Qin Ning hurriedly rushed back and threw out the chariot that rushed into the reserve of the Qin army.

The large army had already withdrawn, and Qin Ning ordered the reserves to also begin to retreat, facing the troops surrounded on both sides by himself.

Qin Ning discovered a problem, that is, the opponent's ground forces always followed the combat vehicles to move together.

The chariot uses the hardness of its own material and the advantage of fast movement to effectively suppress the Qin army, and at this time, the enemy's ground forces can press up, which is equivalent to facing the Qin army in poor condition with a high-spirited force.

If the opponent was faced with conventional tactics, there would be no way to carry out such a battle, and the Qin army could be said to be in a situation where the army was passively beaten.

Qin Ning had no choice but to use brute force to slow down the speed of the chariot's advance.

Under the cover of Qin Ning's best efforts, the reserve team also broke away from the main battlefield and entered a safe defense area.

In this battle, because Qin Ning saw the opportunity early and gave the retreat order in a timely and decisive manner, the ground forces of the Qin army did not suffer much blow.

But in terms of ordnance, the losses of the Qin army were not light.

One hundred heavy artillery guns of a heavy artillery battalion were destroyed, and more than fifty large aircraft were lost, such battle losses were rare in the battles of the Qin army.

But Qin Ning also understood one thing through this matter, that is, the Qin army could no longer use its inherent tactics to deal with the armies of the Eastern Prince and the Northern Prince.

The Qin army's tactical plan must be innovated!(To be continued......
