064, the turning point of the battle (I)
Only by relying on the city and the pass to fight positional warfare can we block the impact of the spirit beast cavalry of the Silk Country, but this also means that it is difficult for the Ba Room Country to launch a counterattack, and once the defense line is lost, it will be in a dilemma of retreating. There are not only spirit beast cavalry in the country of Silk Chamber, but also the whole country is conscripted to fight, and it has been prepared for this for many years, and the prosperity of the situation is especially above the poor army of the year.
If the second line of defense laid by Hanxiong is broken through again, then the third natural barrier in Bamuro Country is the line of Meishan-Pengshan-Zhangrenshan, which has already reached the outside of Badu City. Therefore, in any case, the country of Silk can no longer be allowed to fight in that position, otherwise Shaowu will have to invest all the reserve elite to fight the country.
When that time comes, no matter whether you win or lose, the price that Bamurokuni will pay will be very heavy. The combined forces of the two countries may not be able to destroy the Bamuro country, and after pacifying the Xiangmuro country and the Zheng Muro country, there is still enough strategic depth in the rear of the Bamuro country.
However, in the view of Parang, if it really enters the hinterland of the country and can force the few countries to make peace, the first strategic goal will be achieved. Occupying the most fertile land in the center of Ba Yuan, weakening the strength of the Ba Mu Kingdom in the long run, if the results of the battle are consolidated and managed well, over time, the Pa Mu Kingdom will become stronger, and the Shao Wu will lose the hope of unifying Ba Yuan.
Silk Rang paid great attention to the use of the spirit beast cavalry, and never let this army go to attack the city or break through the pass to defend the pass, and all of them were used in the field battle, using its mobility and impact power to pursue and harass the retreating army formation and baggage team of the Bamuro country, and try to avoid it falling into a heavy siege. If it is a battle in the field, there must be the cover of other military formations.
Bo Rang knew very well in his heart that the spirit beast cavalry was not invincible, and it could not withstand too much damage, and the cost of continuing to cultivate was too great and it would take too long. It is like a winning treasure in the monk's fighting method, in a stalemate between the two sides, the spirit beast cavalry can break the balance of the situation and be used in the most appropriate occasion.
Silk makes me very "nostalgic" for Fu Kui. If only Fu Kui hadn't died. The spirit beast cavalry of the Silk Country was actually trained by Fu Kui, and it was Fu Kui who took the initiative to plan and liaise and contribute to this national war.
It's a pity that now Fu Kui is dead, and the sect master of the Beast Mountain has been replaced by the Shanzha Demon King. Silk Rang has the means to drive Fu Kui, but he can't expect the unruly Shanzha Demon King to obey his orders, and although the Shanzha Demon King is highly cultivated, he is not good at training spirit beast cavalry.
The battle situation on Ba Yuan had reached a critical moment, and the army of Pa Rang organized a large army to storm the second line of defense laid by Han Xiong. In the vast territory occupied by the Paburo Kingdom, only isolated cities remained in the Bamuro Kingdom. The reinforcements sent by Hanxiong and the several counterattacks launched by them were all routed by the elusive spirit beast cavalry, and then annihilated by the follow-up army of the Silk Country.
Washing the Wind City. It is the hometown of Dajun and Xiaoyang, and it is also the fief of Xiangjun Zimo after his surrender, which has been located in the hinterland of the original Bamuro country, and has now become a strategic point. It was the weakest link in the second line of defense laid by Hanxiong's army, and it was almost impossible to defend. As long as the city of washing wind is captured, the army of the country of Silk can go straight to Yeliang City, reach the pass between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, and then go under Badu City.
The country of Parumo didn't even need to capture the castle, and the army directly bypassed the castle as before, and only trapped the other party in the lonely city. In previous encounters. Once the defensive line is breached, the Hanxiong army will often not line up for a field battle, and the remaining soldiers and civilians will hold the city outline, while the main army will retreat to the next position.
But not this time. If the city of washing wind is broken through, and the army of the Silk State really hits the passes of Pengshan and Zhangrenshan, Shaowu will have to invest all the reserve elites in the country, and I am afraid that he will also start preparing for peace talks.
this day. Bao Shubing, the general of Zhenguo, who led the army on the front line of the Silk Country, received a battle report that the soldiers and civilians of Xifeng City had not all withdrawn into the city as before, and the local garrison had not retreated. On the contrary, another reinforcement team came from the direction of Yeliang City, which should be to transport military supplies. It seems that Hanxiong can't retreat anymore, and has to defend the city of Washing Wind, and not just defend the castle.
The army of the Silk Country can drive birds to reconnoiter the terrain, and these birds are also trained by the Silk Rang at a great cost, and each one is very precious, only used on the most important occasions on the front line, they can track the enemy's movements, and deliver simple messages. According to the bird reconnaissance, the reinforcement team from Yeliang City was about 500 people in size and transported about 50 truckloads of supplies.
Bo Shubing immediately ordered to dispatch the spirit beast cavalry, and at the same time sent another ten military formations to coordinate and cooperate, so as to annihilate the other party in one fell swoop, grab all the materials that can be used, and burn the materials that are inconvenient to transport on the spot.
The number of spirit beast cavalry is not too much, and it is only three complete military formations when it is fully counted, but it is these three military formations that can often change the situation of the battlefield. Together with the ten army formations that cooperated with the battle, Bamuro sent nearly 700 men to intercept it. When they arrived at the battlefield, they found that the army of the Bamuro Kingdom had not retreated as usual, but had set up battle formations and were ready to fight.
This is by no means an ordinary logistics baggage team, looking at the spirit of the soldiers, it is definitely the most elite military formation in the Bamuro country, in the face of the fierce spirit beast cavalry, they are not only fearless, but also in a short period of time they have chosen the battlefield and set up a formation. What surprised the general who led the troops of the country of Pamuro was that a big banner was erected in the army opposite, and it was actually the banner of Hanxiong, the general of the town of Bamuro country!
There were only more than 500 people and ten army formations in the field, and General Zhennan was among them. This was a very unusual situation, but the generals of the country of Pakiro had been carried away by the merits, and their eyes lit up when they saw Hanxiong's banner, and if they could kill or capture the opponent's main general here, it would be the greatest battle feat since the beginning of the war!
Han Xiong was familiar with the art of war, and the position he chose relied on a small hill, and he was condescending on the hillside, obviously to delay the impact of the spirit beast cavalry. There were not only ox carts carrying supplies, but also twenty chariots, lined up at the forefront of the battle formation, and the wagons carrying the baggage were hidden behind the hills.
Using a chariot to deal with the spirit beast cavalry, the frontal impact can barely match, but the chariot is relatively bulky, especially when it is difficult to turn when arrayed, and the mobility is far inferior to the spirit beast cavalry. If the battle is defeated and the battle is defeated, it is difficult for the chariot to retreat, and even if the spirit beast cavalry is defeated, it can calmly leave the battlefield and avoid its own losses.
Look at this team, there are only twenty tanks, which is still too small. The general of the country of Silk gave the order that the spirit beast cavalry attacked, although it was not a problem to deal with these chariots, but in order to avoid losses as much as possible, the spirit beast cavalry was divided into two roads, left and right, and rushed up the hill from the side to attack the flank of the opponent's army formation.
In previous engagements, it was not without encountering the chariot formation of the Goba Muro Kingdom, which was the best tactic of the spirit beast cavalry, inserting into the flank or rear of the opponent's army formation in a roundabout way, and launching a strong attack at the same time by the frontal army, which could defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.
Han Xiong stood on the chariot, the sergeant beside him holding the banner alof, he held the stone sword like a sword embryo in his hand, and his lips were pursed with a solemn expression. He had also just received an order from the monarch to attract the opponent's spirit beast cavalry to battle and wipe out the spirit beast cavalry here. For this reason, Shao Wu finally used the back hand that had been prepared for a long time, and it was not until today that Han Xiong learned that the lord had been preparing for many years.
In the field to deal with the impact of the spirit beast cavalry, Han Xiong actually thought of a lot of ways, and even tried to install a large ballista on the chariot. However, ballistas have always been placed in fixed places, such as castle towers, to protect against individual masters, and they are very cumbersome and difficult to maneuver in field battles.
In desperation, Hanxiong even thought about using the Soul Eater Smoke. It was a secret treasure refined by Meng Yingqiu's masters, and sending monks above the four realms to sacrifice it to the wind could achieve large-scale killing. However, Shao Wu told him that he must not use the Soul Eater Smoke, not only because this thing was too ferocious, but also because it was also Chiwangqiu's request.
Soon after the start of the national war, Shaowu sent an envoy to Chiwangqiu to express his reverence and offer many precious gifts. Of course, Bai Sha did not show up, and Xingsha, who was in charge of the affairs of the sect, received the envoy of Shaowu. The envoys of the Shaowu faction were nothing more than to show their attitude, no matter what the outcome of the national war on Ba Yuan was, it would not affect the status of Chiwangqiu and the situation of the people of the Baijia clan.
If the Bamuro Kingdom wins, it will still respectfully worship Chiwangqiu. Shao Wu's main purpose in doing this was not to want Xingyao to send Xuanyi Iron Guard to the battlefield. And Xingyao also sent someone to ask Bao Rang, do you need to send Xuanyi Iron Guard to lead the army?
Silk Cloth Country already has an advantage, and Silk Rang himself is also ambitious, and he doesn't want Xuanyi Tiewei to interfere. The strength of the Xuanyi Iron Guard is not mainly in directly killing the enemy, but in commanding the military formation to coordinate and cooperate. From a selfish point of view, Parang didn't want the army of the Silk Kingdom to fall under the control of the Xuanyi Iron Guard. Since neither the Ba Mu Kingdom nor the Silk Country wanted the Xuanyi Iron Guard to go into battle, then there was no reason for Xingyao to send the Xuanyi Iron Guard to intervene.
However, Xingyao also made a clear request to Shaowu through the messenger, that is, not to use Soul Eater Smoke in battle. The reason is also very legitimate, this secret treasure is too vicious, and its use is harmful to heaven and harmony. The national war of Ba Yuan was a brotherly dispute between the clans, and the soldiers were all the people of Ba country, and Chi Wangqiu could not bear to see them poisoned by this.
Of course, Xingyao knew that Meng Yingqiu was supporting Shaowu, and the Secret Treasure Soul Devouring Smoke refined by Meng Yingqiu was most suitable for mass destruction in the battle array. After all, the number of secret treasures such as Soul Eater Smoke is limited, and there are restrictions on meteorological conditions when using it, so it may not be able to change the outcome of a large-scale national war. But it can be used in the most critical battles, it can play an unexpected role, and it can be used to restrain the spirit beast cavalry.
Xingyao just put forward such a request, so that Shaowu had to agree, and his attitude was clearly biased towards the country of Silk Chamber. If Shaowu really violated his promise and used Soul Devouring Smoke, then Chiwangqiu would have a reason to intervene directly, because in a sense, this was also equivalent to Meng Yingqiu's direct intervention in the national war.
