Chapter 319: Street Fighting
Street fighting, similar to the urban warfare of later generations, half of which took place in cities or large villages, and the battles fought street by street and house in the streets and alleys were characterized by one of the striking characteristics of the two warring sides in hand-to-hand combat, often in an instant, and extremely cruel; Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoGenerally speaking, the battle loss ratio of street fighting is basically about one to five, which not only requires soldiers to have excellent fighting skills, but also to have a strong psychological endurance.
Shouts of killing, the clash of blades, and screams can be heard at any time, exaggerating the cruelty of the battlefield. Yuan Jun hidden in the shadows is like a poisonous snake entrenched, after aiming at the target, he will suddenly use cold arrows, leaning out coldly, swinging a knife to slash at the Yan army passing by, after cutting down the Yan army, he will immediately retract his figure, hide in the shadows, and wait for the next target to pass. Yuan's tactics brought a lot of losses to the Yan army.
However, in terms of psychological quality and will to fight, the Yan army is undoubtedly a lot higher than the Yuan army, at the beginning because of the terrain is not familiar, the Yan army is often attacked by the Yuan army, there are many casualties, with the gradual development of the battle, the Yan army relies on its own tenacious fighting style and super strong will to fight, slowly recovering the decline, suppressing the Yuan army into the alleys, and the situation of fighting against the Yuan army.
At the same time, under the two triangular battle formations with Yuan Qi, Ma Yue and others as the apex, the Yan army had a group for every three people, and a squadron was formed by three squadrons, and finally a brigade was formed by three squadrons, maintaining a triangular battle formation, while searching for the enemy's traces, while clearing the enemy in front of them, a large number of ordinary soldiers of the Yan army, driven by the two elites of Tiangui and Digui, quickly learned such a special tactic - street search. This is an unconventional tactic that Yuan Qi taught to the elites under his command according to the tactics of the special forces of later generations, and it is specially used to deal with fighting in a narrow area.
The appearance of the triangular battle formation effectively prevented the sneak attack of the Yuan army, and greatly reduced the battle losses and situation of the Yan army. began to be gradually controlled by the Yan army, and the pointer on the balance gradually began to tilt towards the Yan army.
And the last straw that pressed the camel was the two men and horses sent by Zhou Yu, Xu Sheng and Chen Wu. After they climbed to the top of the city and joined Gan Jing and Zhang Chong, after a period of rushing and killing, they finally joined forces to wipe out all the Yuan troops on the city wall. Subsequently, Xu Sheng briefly told Gan Jing and Zhang Chong about Zhou Yu's strategic intentions, and got the approval of Gan Jing and Zhang Chong. He was changed to command the Qilin army under Gan Jing, and the three of them divided into three roads and killed along the city wall. As for Gan Jing, he was knocked unconscious from behind by Zhang Chong, and someone was sent to escort him out of the city and back to a safe place in the outer city.
After sending Gan Jing away, Zhang Chong led the Qilin army directly into the city to find the main force of Yuan Qi, while Xu Sheng and Chen Wu each led more than 10,000 soldiers to move to the left and right on the walls of the inner city. At the same time, he kept firing rockets into the seemingly calm streets of the city, forcing out the Yuan soldiers hidden in them, and then shooting them one by one.
It was precisely because of Xu Sheng and Chen Wu's rocket raids that a large number of Yuan soldiers lost their hiding places, and they had to run out of the alleys where they were hiding in order not to be burned alive. Yuan Jun, who exposed his whereabouts, soon ushered in a head-on attack from the Yan army. From the highly concealed and sudden street fighting, he was forced to switch to hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the battle loss ratio of 1 to 5 in street fighting, the battle damage in white-knuckle battles is much more tragic, usually around 1 to 1. However, what Yuan Jun was facing was not a fish-belly army, but a Yan army, which had always been known for its bravery and good fighting! In the white-knuckle battle, the Yan army relied on its advantages of physical fitness, excellent equipment, and tenacious will to fight, and so on, it turned the situation around and fixed the battle damage of the white-knuckle battle at the ratio of one to four. For every Yan soldier killed in battle, Yuan Jun had to pay the price of four lives. If it weren't for the existence of a large number of ordinary sergeants in the Yan army, and only fighting with the three elite teams of Tiangui, Earthgui and Qilin, I'm afraid this proportion would be even higher.
Xu Sheng and Chen Wu's rockets reminded Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi picked up a Yuan Army's deputy general with a halberd, and shouted loudly: "Heaven belongs, throw torches into the streets and alleys, create smoke, and force Yuan Jun out!"
As the pro-guard army of Yuanqi, the Tiangui Army has the first-class treatment in the Yan Army, one of which is that every soldier of the Tiangui Army will be equipped with a small bottle of burning knife wine next to the saddle, but this is not for them to drink, but to wash the wound when they are injured, which has achieved the effect of disinfection and sterilization to prevent the wound from deteriorating. After hearing Yuan Qi's shout, nearly 20,000 Tiangui soldiers immediately took out the burning knife wine, and then poured it on the torch like pouring boiled water, and then lit the torch and threw it into the alleys and alleys of the city.
The flames and thick smoke, under the actions of the Heavenly Return Army, quickly rose from the alleys, allowing more Yuan Jun to run out of hiding place with their heads in their hands, and what was waiting for them was the butcher's knife that the soldiers of the Yan Army had already raised high!
New River City is not big, and in an instant, the small city is filled with fire, smoke, fighting, and screams. Almost every inch of the city is playing out this cruel scene at the same time. Death and blood have become the theme of the city. The blood of the fallen soldiers of the Yan army and the Yuan army stained every inch of land in Xinhe City, and the killing continued.
With the royal treasure, Yuan Qi is not afraid of the flames burning everywhere and the rising smoke, it has the triple effect of pulling out poison, repelling fire, and avoiding water, although its effect of repelling fire and avoiding water may not be as magical as pulling out poison, but there is no problem in dealing with such a flame in front of him. So, Yuan Qi temporarily handed over the command to Xu Chu, broke away from the large army, wandered outside, and specially picked some alleys where the fire was not too fierce to rush in, drive out the remnants of Yuan's army inside, or directly kill them.
A thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from the city gate, and the last Yan army also arrived at the battlefield. Qi Tian wore a golden crown, rode on a red rabbit horse, held a Qi Tian halberd, and looked mighty, and behind him, there were 20,000 flying dragon elites with blood-red feathers on their heads. Because the Flying Dragon Army is an authentic heavy cavalry, Yuan Qi arranged them at the end, after all, in the battle, the cavalry can not play a big role, and putting them at the end is also for the purpose of protecting the Flying Dragon Army.
With the arrival of the Flying Dragon Army, the four elites of Yuan Qi's subordinates all appeared, which had never appeared in previous battles. At the same time, the number of troops invested by the Yan army at this moment has also reached 100,000, and it has almost poured out, and only the 20,000 Jiangdong army led by Zhou Yu has stayed in the outer city.
As soon as Qi Tian appeared on the stage, he showed his demeanor as a god of war, Qi Tian's halberd turned around in the air, and it stirred up a rain of blood, and the heads of the two Yuan Jun's deputy generals flew into the sky with the blood that spurted out, filling in a little more blood for the already very cruel battlefield! Dancing Qi Tian's halberd to Yuan Qi's side, Qi Tian said to Yuan Qi: "Second brother, the military advisor said, capture the thief and capture the king first, where there is no flame, where is Yuan Ding's hiding place!"
Qi Tian conveyed Zhuge Liang's words, and immediately woke up Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi turned his head and shouted loudly to Ma Yue, who was fighting: "Ma Yue, take the Digui Lux to search along the way, where there is no fire, it is Yuan Ding's hiding place, you give someone to surround that place!" Yuan Ding must be afraid of death in essence, he is absolutely reluctant to let this world of flowers, therefore, Yuan Ding must still be hiding in which alley, commanding his subordinates to counterattack, at such a point of life and death, Yuan Ding will not abandon his soldiers, otherwise, it is looking for death, even if he wants to escape, it also needs a considerable number of soldiers to be his queen.
Ma Yue agreed loudly, turned around and searched deeper into the city with 10,000 returning troops.
At the beginning of this battle, the sun was just above the horizon, and as time went on, the sun began to deflect westward after reaching its peak. From sunrise to sunset, a whole day of fighting, for anyone's physical fitness and mental strength, is a great test, in the battle, the soldiers have no time to replenish food and water, completely in your life-and-death fight to spend, the spirit is always in a tense state, the contest between the two sides, gradually from the fight of knives and guns, transferred to the spiritual level.
At this time, the tenacious will to fight of the Yan army itself was vividly reflected, and the primary element of Yuan Qi's management of the army, the cultivation of the military soul of the soldiers, was also rewarded at this time. When it comes to long-lasting combat capability, no one can beat the right of the Yan army today!
In the face of the Yan army's still strong will to fight, Yuan's army collapsed, physical hunger and fatigue, mental exhaustion, and the danger of being killed at any time...... Multiple factors were superimposed, causing Yuan Jun to lose the desire to fight, and began to gradually become numb, Yuan Jun, who retained a little bit of sanity, had begun to abandon his weapons and surrender, while more Yuan Jun fell to the ground almost paralyzed, neither expressing surrender nor continuing to fight, they no longer even had the strength to stand. The 250,000 Yuan army was dragged down by the 100,000 Yan army, and the soldiers of the Yan army, with their tenacious combat style, once again won the final victory with less, adding a strong stroke to their invincible mythical halo.
