Chapter 463: Defeat the Meng 84th Division
There are more and more magicians in the Shaodian Kingdom, and the magicians of the 19th Division on the ground have also joined the battle group, the magicians of the Meng 84th Division have been suppressed, and a tower magician in the Shaodian Kingdom has his hands free to attack the Meng army on the ground.
The Meng army was already at a disadvantage in numbers, and one more magician would be even more unable to hold it, and it was estimated that the entire army would be wiped out before the reinforcements arrived.
Wow, a sword shot into the air of the fire-based tower mage. Deng Qiang, who was commanding the battle, made a hasty move, and only he, a fearless knight, could threaten the white-robed magician, and he couldn't run away without making a move.
The magician commander of the 20th Division didn't stop the sword even after shooting several fireballs, and finally relied on the flame shield to resist it, so he had to retreat and widen the distance with Deng Qian to avoid any accidents.
"Order the first and second brigades to block on the spot, and the seventh brigade will answer behind!" Deng Qian urgently ordered his subordinates to change the formation, "The eighth, ninth, and tenth teams will come with me to contact reinforcements." Seeing that the situation was not right, he decided to break the wrist of the strong man, leaving half of his men to entangle the enemy, and he himself took the other half to escape.
The main force of the Shaodian Army just arrived at the battlefield, and the dust was also rolled up in the distance to the east, Deng Qian could be regarded as running in time, and the back road of the Meng 84th Division would be cut off if it was one step slower, and it was difficult for them to hold out until the reinforcements arrived on the battlefield.
The Meng Army Magician Regiment escorted the division headquarters to the east, not that they ruthlessly left their comrades who were still fighting hard, firstly, the generals of the unified army had orders, and secondly, the comrades-in-arms were mixed with the enemy army, and the enemy magicians did not dare to use a wide range of magic, at most they were equivalent to the role of high-level archers.
Ding Kui patted the restless war horse sitting down to calm it down.
"If you run a big fish, is it more useful to kill him than to kill a thousand small soldiers?" Ao Yu pretended to be cold beside Ding Kui as always, and the war horse under the seat was very well-behaved and obedient.
"Yes, you can do it, Lord Miao's military order will be borne for you, as long as you take back the head of the enemy general. Ding Kui was unhappy, and the first squadron had to protect the joint command of the 19th and 20th divisions, and watched dryly as the friendly troops fought bloody battles on the battlefield.
"There are too many people, I can't do it alone, if you can lead someone to rush over, I can take advantage of the chaos to slaughter that big fish." Ao Yu licked his lips, he didn't have absolute security on this battlefield.
"If someone restrains the one in the sky, I will dare to take the risk of taking you to rush once," Ding Kui nodded at his subordinates around him, "Their lives are more important than enemy generals, and I am not willing to lose some manpower because of a division commander." "He is not afraid of the tower magician, it doesn't mean that his subordinates are not afraid, and the first squadron will have to pay a big price if they can raid and kill Deng Qiang.
"Hey, isn't that your senior brother's subordinate?" Ao Yu noticed a small group of cavalry rushing quickly.
"That's right, we didn't find anyone from our brigade on the battlefield, where did they go?" Ding Kui wondered in his heart.
The cavalry vanguard of the 20th Division attacked the enemy at any cost, and now more than half of the casualties have been lost, Ding Kui is very distressed, but he didn't find half of his comrades, and he was a little happy while worrying.
The squad of the second squadron came straight to Miaohe, and it turned out that they had come back to deliver information.
Xue Chong encountered a large number of scouts in the east, all under the banner of the Meng 85th Division, and the first brigade immediately responded to the battle and pursued and killed the Meng army scouts on the plain. It didn't take long to chase and kill, the overwhelming cyan army arrived, and there was an extra Meng 86 division in the banner, Xue Chong immediately asked Fengliang to send someone back to send intelligence, and the first brigade fought and retreated, not letting the enemy's scouts cross them.
"The 85th and 86th divisions of the Meng army, well, plus the 84th division is exactly three divisions, that should be the right flank of the Meng Ninth Army, so it seems that the main force of the Meng Ninth Army should not be too far from here. "Miao He is a little more at ease, but he can barely cope with it if he comes over two divisions.
"Our cavalry assault should not be far away, as long as we delay the enemy's right flank, we will definitely be able to cooperate with the cavalry assault to entangle the enemy's main force, but before that, we must destroy the enemy army in front of us. Xuanyuan Feng pulled out his long sword, "The whole army presses on, give me the shortest possible time to annihilate the enemy in front of me!"
Less than a third of the three brigades that were left to block the Shaodian army by Deng Qian were left, and under the order of Xuanyuan, thousands of Shaodian soldiers joined the battlefield, completely crushing the mental defense line of the Meng army, and they all dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
The attack on the main force of the Meng 84th Division was over, and under the threat of enemy reinforcements, Xuanyuan Feng did not continue to pursue the fleeing Deng Qiang.
Miao He took over the command and ordered: "The infantry will build a defensive line on the spot, the cavalry archers will assemble in the middle army, the soldiers will assemble behind the army, and the prisoners will be tied up and taken to the rear army for care." ”
Deng Qian escaped with about 2,000 people from the three disabled brigades, more than 700 people surrendered to the Shaodian army, more than 3,000 of the 6,000 main forces of the Meng 84th Division were killed in this pursuit battle, and only one-fifth of the 10,000 regular divisions were finally left.
The price paid by the 20th Division in the pursuit was not small, with close to 2,000 casualties, most of them cavalry. In order to quickly open the gap in the circle of the Meng army, the cavalry rushed towards the most dense place of the enemy without hesitation, and half of the more than 2,000 cavalry could not re-mount and fight.
In a battle in the hilly area at night, the 19th Division on the ground only annihilated the enemy at the cost of less than 1,000 casualties, and the total loss of the Shaodian Army in the two battles was less than 3,000 people, which was a great victory for the result of destroying a division.
"Report, Wangguicheng sent a thousand city defense troops and our rear army to arrive at full speed. "A scout arrived at the rear of the army.
At the same time that the rear army of the 19th Division received reinforcements from the Meng State, the city lord Jiang also got the news, and he immediately dispatched a thousand city defense troops to support the 19th Division.
If the 19th and 20th divisions retreat to the city and plan to defend the city, the Meng army will be able to wreak havoc on the surrounding villages and towns, and the Wanggui city will be greatly damaged after this battle.
The city lord Jiang had the responsibility of defending the territory, and immediately reacted that it was most beneficial for him to fight with the Meng army in the field, and at this time he could not be stingy with the strength at hand, and he had to use it when he should use it; not only that, but he also actively recruited mercenaries to assist in defending the city, and strived to send more city defense troops to the battlefield to support.
"Okay, our task is to hold back the enemy and hold out until dark, when the main force of the legion can arrive and can launch an attack on the main force of the Ninth Army of Meng. Ding Kui, immediately inform your cavalry brigade that there is no need to continue to block the enemy army, and withdraw to the rear of the army to rest. Miao He's spirit was shocked.
Although the losses in the two battles were more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 people, Xue Chong's first brigade plus Nan Wushuang's scout brigade had more than 1,000 people, and now there were more than 1,000 people in Wangguicheng, and Miao He still had nearly 20,000 troops on hand to deal with the right flank of Meng's Ninth Army.
