062, the siege of Badu (above)
Xiang Qian originally discussed with Yue Xuan, he led the main force to attack Badu City, and Yue Xuan guarded the rear of Yeliang City, firstly, to prevent changes in the outline of the occupied city, and secondly, to be able to meet the front-line army, which could be attacked and defended. But now, in order to immediately break through Badu City, Xiang Poor has transferred most of the reserve army to the front line.
Of course, there were many monks in the army, and the status of the monks of various sects in this era was very special, because they were all people who had mastered a certain secret method of cultivation and possessed supernatural cultivation. Although, from a certain point of view, they are still mortals, and they are not fundamentally different from other living beings in the world.
But after all, they have already embarked on the path to transcendence, and the vast majority of monks certainly think that they are different from ordinary people in the world, and that they are more precious than ordinary people, and that many monks will try to avoid getting themselves involved in war unless it is absolutely necessary or implicated. Even if you have supernatural powers, you will also die under the sword soldiers in the fierce army confrontation.
But there are no absolutes in everything, and the army will definitely carry monks with them, and there are two main situations. The first is like Pan Gu, who is himself a general in the army, and his responsibilities lie, so how can he not go to the battlefield at this time? The second situation is the monks who are recruited by the king, and they are often called to work with the army.
These monks either served in the kingdom and were subject to the orders of the king, or they were trained by the major clan forces to accept conscriptions and serve the monarch on behalf of the clan, or they were scattered in various places to make meritorious deeds and obtain rewards...... The list goes on. The army also goes to the front, but they usually do not charge directly at the front of the army, but they are the focus of the army's protection.
There are many tasks to work with the army, such as leading the men and soldiers to build fortifications, building and repairing various armor and equipment. Without their intervention, it would be impossible for the front-line army to create all kinds of siege engines in a short period of time. Another important task of working with the army is to heal the wounds, and use magical spells in time to stop bleeding and bandage the wounds and remove the soldiers from the front line, regulate their vitality, and prevent the wounds from suppurating and infecting.
Not to mention serious injuries, even minor injuries can often kill people if they are not treated in time. There are co-workers with the army, which greatly reduces the death rate of front-line soldiers. It can also enable many lightly injured soldiers to quickly recover their combat effectiveness. For example, in the army of Shaowu, there are many monks from the elder family, who are good at refining medicine and healing wounds, and are specifically responsible for treating the wounded on the front line.
Of course, the co-workers will also go to the battlefield when necessary, but they will not directly stand at the front of the military formation to rush and kill, but will cast various magical spells to attack the opponent's military formation under the cover of the military formation. But it's also dangerous, and they can also suffer casualties if they break up or get mixed up.
And Xiang Poor decided to gather a group of army workers, and they were organized to charge in the front siege battle array, and cast magical spells together. Break a gap in the wall. The generals' faces almost darkened when they heard this, but they knew that the decision made by the monarch at this moment was irrefutable, so they did not disobey the order to dissuade them.
......
The pass between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain has been occupied by the poor army, and the barracks and fortifications have been reduced to ruins, and the soil in many places has been infiltrated by bloodstains. Now the damaged barracks have been simply repaired, and Yue Xuan has sent a military array to garrison here to ensure the smooth delivery of logistics and military supplies.
The mountains on both sides of the pass are dense with forests, and in a mountain peak to the southeast, it is a hidden place not far from the top of the mountain. The General of the Northern Dao Clan sat there quietly. This general has been sitting for many days, and if it weren't for the time of war, people would even mistake him for a retreat.
The two elite army formations trained by the Northern Dao Clan in the Pengshan Forbidden Land had been sent to this pass to reinforce Bao Qizheng not long ago. It also covered the retreat of the defenders into the city of Badu. However, the Northern Dao Clan did not follow the military formation, and his astringent aura did not move these days, but he only took some elixir to regulate his qi in the state of Bigu.
The movement of the poor army, the North Dao clan saw it all. And silently calculated in his heart. In the age when there was no writing, it didn't mean that people couldn't record information and calculate, or that people weren't smart enough. Take the cultivation of the general of the North Sword clan as the realm. He used mental arithmetic, and calculated the needs of the war on the front line of the poor.
The Beidao clan has been observing how many soldiers and how many food and military supplies Xiang Qian brought through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, and when and how many batches they arrived. After so many days of fierce fighting, how many wounded were withdrawn from the front line, how much was the consumption at the front, and how many remaining personnel and supplies should be left.
When the poor army transferred a large number of reserve troops from Yeliang City in the rear to the front line of Badu City, the Beidao clan couldn't help but light up in his eyes. These formations carried only ordnance, and in addition to their own use, they had to replenish the depleted and damaged arrow armor of the front line. At present, the military rations hoarded by the poor on the front line are only enough to consume for three to five days, and they will continue to be transported from the rear.
Now that Xiang Poor had transferred so many reserve formations again and again, according to the usual practice of marching, in the absence of a convoy of military rations and baggage, the soldiers marched with two days' worth of dry rations, enough for them to reach the barracks where they were assembled in front. It replenishes so many soldiers, and at the same time, it is equivalent to having so many mouths to eat every day.
There is no local supply outside Badu City, and counting these new military formations, the military rations that Xiang Poor has hoarded on the front line will probably be exhausted in three days. Then within these three days, it will be necessary to transfer from the rear in time.
Of course, Yue Xuan, the general guarding Yeliang Town in the rear, was not a fool, this group of reserve troops was sent out, and the convoy transporting military rations would also pass through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain immediately after, and the time should be within three days. The Northern Dao Clan, who had been waiting in secret for many days, finally stood up, turned around and walked towards the heights, where he would assemble another army array lurking deep in the mountains—an army formation that could not be counted as a military formation.
There were originally two army formations stationed in the Pengshan Forbidden Land, and they were all engaged in the battle some time ago. If even the national capital can't be saved, what can the nine dragon blood treasure trees and medicine fields in the depths of Peng Mountain have to protect?
In addition to the two military formations, the Pengshan Forbidden Land has always been guarded by monks from various factions in the country in turn, because there is not only a medicinal field that everyone has jointly cultivated over the years, but also a treasure land for cultivation. After the general of the Beidao clan defended Pengshan, he also ordered these monks to cooperate with the military drills, and suppressed these people with superb cultivation and tough methods, and organized them.
These monks came from all the sects in the Ba Chamber, and all of them were cultivators of the Four Realms, with a total of more than 30 people. In the past, I am afraid that they would not be willing to take the initiative to get involved in the war, and since they have not held official positions in the country, it is okay to contribute appropriately to the country or the city, but it is probably not worth it to work hard.
When the poor soldiers entered the country, the general of the North Dao clan issued an order, and those who were willing to leave would leave, but they would not be rewarded by the Bamuro country in the future, and the Bamuro country would worship its sect in the future, and these people would also lose their qualifications to enjoy it in the sect. In the future, the cities will no longer appoint their children and grandchildren, and their direct descendants will not be rewarded and employed until two generations have passed.
As for those who are willing to stay, the Northern Dao Clan will organize them into a new military formation, and they will not have any contact with the outside world for the time being. They had to obey the orders of the Northern Dao Clan to strike once, and this time would be enough, but they had to do their best. As long as this is done, he will be rewarded afterwards, and even if the monk himself does not care about those rewards, the Bamuro Kingdom will also give him a knight.
Even if he is a monk, no one can guarantee that his descendants will be able to enter the initial realm and be able to cultivate, not to mention that most of his clan relatives are ordinary people. Moreover, even if there is cultivation, the hope of crossing the path to heaven and becoming an immortal in this life is too slim to be any longer, and it is impossible not to completely leave the offerings of the secular cities, let alone not to deal with the cities and the people.
If the Northern Dao Clan wants this group of monks to make a move, they can refuse, but don't think about the benefits that Chengkou and Ba Muru will continue to offer in the future. If they agree to help, not only will they be supported as usual, and their military merits will be rewarded, but they will also be given a knighthood. Even if the monk himself has no children, he can appoint a descendant from the clan to be knighted.
When Shaowu recruited those loose cultivators in the country this time, he also gave such conditions, but according to the special situation of the Pengshan Forbidden Land, the Beidao Clan added a sentence to cut off his future devotion and reward. These more than 30 monks all stayed, in fact, some time ago, they had already received a message from the heads of various sects, and they would try their best to serve the country of Pakistan on behalf of each sect.
......
He ordered the monks to go to the front line to participate in the charge, and mobilized reinforcements from the reserve army, and when the army was finished, he launched an onslaught on an unprecedented scale. The army attacked the city from three directions at the same time, one at the north gate, one at the east gate, and one at the wall between the north gate and the east gate.
Standing on a high platform erected in the center of the capital, Ba Mu Gong Zheng Bo Lao, Fu Zheng and Bing Zheng listened to the shouts of killing from the direction of the city wall, and constantly ordered the mobilization of soldiers and civilians to defend the city. One army was withdrawn with heavy casualties, and the other was immediately replenished, and it was clear that today was under a strong attack unprecedented since the beginning of the battle, and the defenders of Badu City were under great pressure.
Fu Zheng frowned and said: "Xiang Qian must have received the latest battle report from the lord's side, he was ruthless, and he wanted to fight." ”
Bing Zhengdao: "Three attacks at the same time, it should be a two-way feint attack and one main attack, where will the poor choose the breakthrough?"
Shrike muttered: "According to common sense, of course, it is necessary to attack a city gate so that it can break through the city. But I think those two gates may have been coordinated with a feint, and Xiang Poor actually wanted to break through the northeast section of the wall. ”
Bing Zheng was surprised: "Directly break the city wall?
Berau looked up at the sky and said: "Because the northeast wind is blowing today, there are a batch of secret treasures that have not been used, and if they are taken out, they need to cooperate with the wind direction." ...... I led the national workers to the northeast to guard, and the two adults stayed here to command in the center. After speaking, his figure turned into a light and shadow, and flew towards the northeast.
Shrike took a national artifact, which is an artifact containing the magic of flying to the sky, (to be continued......)
