Chapter 54: The Great Victory of Backing Mountain Town
The team leader in front of Dou An, holding a yellow long card in one hand and a one-handed hook in the other, also pushed up towards Cao Jun. Dou An followed behind the squad leader with an iron rod in his hand, blocking the long knife that came from the side for him.
Behind him, two hook and sickle spears stabbed out from both sides of Dou An's body, and suddenly dragged back two enemy soldiers, Dou An erected an iron rod and poked it hard at the door of a Cao soldier with the tail of the stick.
Poof, Cao Jun's head was like a ripe watermelon, and it was smashed to pieces at once, and due to the excessive force, the splashed brain sprayed Dou An's face.
After killing Cao Jun, Dou An stood in a daze, letting his brain drip down his chin on his face, his heart seemed to be clutched by something, his eyes were filled with blood, and he couldn't see anything.
"Go to the back in a daze!"
I don't know who yelled in Dou An's ear, and then was dragged behind him and pushed to the wall of the trench.
Dou An's whole body made intimate contact with the wall, and the back of his head hit the earthen wall through the helmet, and the strong pain made him sober up, and when he looked at it, the person who dragged him turned out to be the history instructor of the Black Earth City Warrior Training Camp.
Suddenly, a fallen Cao Jun threw himself at Instructor Shi's feet and hugged his feet tightly, while another Cao Jun jumped down from the top of the trench and stabbed Instructor Shi in the chest with a short gun in his hand.
Instructor Shi stumbled on the soles of his feet, his body lost his center of gravity, and the double axes in his hands did not hold Cao Jun's short spear, and he was stabbed in the chest.
He shook the axe in his hand, grabbed Cao Jun's arm, and shouted to Dou An: "What are you still stunned about!"
Dou An only felt a buzz in his head, and all the fear and nervousness disappeared, and a cloud of anger ignited in his heart. I saw him scream strangely, shook the iron rod with both hands, and rushed forward, and the tip of the stick slammed into the door of Cao Jun's face that had just jumped down like lightning.
In front of the barracks of the 12th Division of the 2nd Central Army Corps, the 600-meter-long trench was full of scenes of sacrificing their lives, whether it was a newcomer who had just stepped onto the battlefield or a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, as long as he was negligent, he would be killed by the enemy.
When the first Cao army jumped into the trench, the catapults in the barracks began to throw boulders into the array of Cao archers. The archers on the arrow tower and the camp wall also began to fight back, especially the Cao army, which had lost its shield defense by the side of the trench, was named one by one by the archers of the Shaodian Kingdom.
The 6,000 cavalry led by Teng Yan kept a distance of about two kilometers from the Cao army, and the Cao cavalry brigade ran after them, and the Cao cavalry returned and they came up again. The generals of the Cao army were a little worried about the looming troops on the mountain, and did not dare to let their cavalry go too far, forcing Teng Yan and their cavalry brigade to guard the periphery of the battlefield.
Cao Guo's archers did not dare to line up too far in formation, so they would use more cavalry and infantry to protect, and only suppress them from a distance directly opposite the mountain town and the barracks.
The first wave of infantry that was sent to attack the barracks, with 5,000 men, was stopped when they came to the trench, and as soon as the long-range troops of Shaodian Kingdom opened fire, the casualties of this first wave of infantry began to increase rapidly.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the general of the Cao army hurriedly ordered the trumpet of retreat, and the dense formation in front of the trench suddenly retreated like the ebbing tide of the sea, and the soldiers who had already jumped into the trench launched a suicidal attack on the enemy in front of them.
In the first wave of the attack, Cao Jun killed more than a thousand people and wounded several hundred, mainly because the troops who jumped out of the trench could not retreat, resulting in twice as many dead as wounded.
On the other hand, on the side of Shaodian Kingdom, seven or eight hundred people were also killed, and about five hundred people were wounded, and they had a slight upper hand by virtue of the pre-built position.
Dou An also became one of the wounded soldiers because his left arm was cut, and compared to the tragic battle, he was lucky not to die.
The side of Gushan Town was only a long-range fire, which did not cause many casualties, and Xun Yue's strategy of concentrating troops to defend the military camp worked.
The plundering Cao army brought some improvised siege equipment, but it took time to assemble them. The generals of the Cao army saw that the Shaodian military camp had a good defensive capability, and a direct attack would produce large casualties, so he ordered the assembly of siege equipment, the cavalry troops drove the cavalry of the Shaodian Kingdom out of the battlefield, the archers built simple defensive positions, and the infantry rested in place to prepare for the next wave of strong attacks.
This seemingly safe order caused the evil result of the rout of the Cao army's Shuanglong City war zone.
When the siege equipment of the Cao army had just been assembled, the Shaodian ** team of the four divisions suddenly appeared in the rear of the Cao army, directly cutting off the back road to Shuanglong City.
The reaction of the generals of the Cao army was quite decent, and they immediately asked the cavalry to turn their horses and charge the Shaodian ** team that cut off the back road, and the infantry and archers abandoned all their baggage and followed the cavalry to charge in the direction of Shuanglong City.
The reinforcements that suddenly appeared in Gushan Town were the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th divisions of the Second Central Army Corps, and after receiving Xun Yue's urgent report, under the personal leadership of the corps commander Long Shun, they forcibly marched all the way to arrive.
Originally, Long Shun was going to participate in the war in the Xijiang Shuizhai War Zone, because he was worried that Cao Guo's forbidden mage would forcibly cast forbidden magic on the side of Shuanglong City, Long Shun and the magician Qu Yi and five Kaita mages caught up with the Shuanglong City reinforcement team.
After receiving the military information sent by Xun Yue, Long Shun, who was the commander of the corps, also discovered this excellent fighter and ordered the whole army to rush to Gushan Town at full speed at all costs.
The four divisions of the 2nd Central Army Corps marched at full speed for three hours, and when they arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, they found that Cao's army had suspended the attack, so they rested in place for half an hour, sent a letter eagle to Xun Yue in Gushan Town, and then unceremoniously rushed into the battlefield and cut off Cao's army's retreat.
Except for special cavalry divisions, the proportion of cavalry in a fully formed division accounts for about 20 percent, but the proportion of cavalry in the 1st and 2nd Army Corps is higher than that of ordinary ones, reaching 30 percent.
Long Shun easily formed a group of cavalry with more than Cao's army, and personally led the team to launch a counter-charge against Cao's army.
This is a tragedy for the cavalry of the Cao army, the number of knights in the cavalry of the Shaodian Kingdom is twice as many as theirs, Long Shun of the arrow is a fearless knight in the later period, and the guards around him are all shield-breaking knights.
When the cavalry of the two armies met, the cavalry of Shaodian Kingdom was like a steel knife cut into butter, and the speed seemed to increase sharply when they collided, and as a red and dark red spear and sword flashed, the backs of most of Cao's horses were empty.
The gates of the castle of Gushan Town and the barracks of the 12th Division had been completely opened, and Xun Yue rushed out with all the soldiers who could still run, and pounced on the rear team of Cao's army, which was still sorting out the formation.
Teng Yan, who had been fighting guerrilla warfare with the cavalry of Cao State, erected his division and regimental flag, and led the cavalry of the two divisions to block and rush towards the Cao army.
When the five magicians flew over the Cao army, the Cao army's troops immediately thawed, and the soldiers and generals lost their morale and fled in all directions like headless flies.
It's not that Cao Guo didn't have magicians with the army, but they all stayed in the landing camp and let the magicians follow to grab food, and they couldn't afford to lose this person.
In this way, an encounter turned into a pursuit battle.
The two sides are actually not far apart in terms of strength, and there are about 10,000 more people in Shaodian Kingdom, but the general of Cao State did not expect so many enemy troops to appear behind him, and when he found out, it had become a situation of being attacked by the enemy.
In addition, there was an obvious gap in the combat power of the cavalry, and the fighting spirit was completely defeated by the magician, resulting in the final collapse.
Afterwards, some people analyzed that if the generals of the Cao army sent cavalry to break through to the north, the infantry and archers formed a circle formation, slowly left the battlefield to the west, and reached the foot of the mountain in Daozhongshan, the whole army retreated to the mountain, and then broke through separately, more people should be able to escape.
The reality is always cruel, more than 30,000 people were captured in this Cao State grain grabbing brigade, nearly 10,000 people were killed in battle, and in the end, less than 3,000 people fled back to Shuanglong City.
Long Shun counted after the battle, less than 4,000 people were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded, which can be said to have achieved a great victory, almost completely annihilating the five divisions of Cao's army.
The Shaodian army was still cleaning up the battlefield, and the main division of Hu Qin of the 14th Army Corps sent a vanguard to Gushan Town, telling Longshun that the 135th and 136th divisions would arrive here in the evening, and they could set off for Shuanglong City together.
These six divisions of the 2nd Central Army Corps either went through fierce battles or forced marches for a long time, and most of their physical strength had been consumed, and they were no longer able to sneak attack the Cao Army camp 30 kilometers away.
Long Shun ordered to rest in place and wait for reinforcements to arrive, while the forbidden mage Qu Yi took the five Kaita mages to take the lead and flew to Shuanglong City to sit down.
During the battle of Gushan Town, the water army of Maoerwan Water Village appeared on the river outside the water village of Shuanglong City, and fifty large warships and one hundred and fifty medium-sized warships formed a phalanx on the Tongyuan River.
Seeing this, the Cao State naval army besieging Shuizhai stopped attacking one after another, and listed a long snake formation across the river to confront the warships of Shaodian State.
In addition to attacking the water village, Cao's warships also had to escort the transport fleet, and they did not dare to attack easily in the face of the Shaodian navy coming from upstream.
Maoerwan Water Village is located in the upper reaches of Shuanglong City, downstream in the Tongyuan River, and the speed of rushing to Shuanglong City is much faster than that of Lianbakou Water Village, Fang Ba is also very surprised by the arrival of Maoerwan Water Army.
Qi and Cao jointly sent troops, according to common sense, the water army of Maoerwan should go to support Xijiang Water Village, and was restrained by the water army of Qi State, instead of coming to Shuanglong City at this time, Cao Guo's prediction is only the water army of Lianbakou Water Village.
In the evening, the worse news reached Fang Ba's handsome tent, and the remnants of the westward grain grabbing fled back to the camp, and he angrily smashed his handsome case on the spot.
