Chapter 1443: Siege of Nanjing City (11)

"Attack with all your might! Be sure to hold off their magicians!" Shao Diantai ordered his team of magicians.

Even if a part of them is set aside to deal with the magicians in Nanjing City, the magicians in the sky above the Beidaying are still one-third more than those of the Tenth Legion, and Ding Kui has always been very calm for this reason.

The 93rd Division rushed into the Beida Battalion, and the defensive line in the battalion began to loosen, but the Glaive Formation in the center was still as stable as Mount Tai.

Wu Yu successively organized 4,000 people to attack the Glaive Formation, killing and wounding only more than 1,000 infantry in the front row, and Wang Chou commanded the remaining 3,000 people to be firmly stuck in a hundred steps in front of the general.

If it weren't for Wu Yu's ruthlessness and use a group of war horses to cover the retreat of the troops in front of the Glaive Formation, his four brigades would have all folded in, and finally escaped back with more than a thousand.

Counting the losses on both flanks of the attack, the 92nd Division lost half of its men. It's not that Wang Chou's Glaive Formation is more powerful than the cavalry, it's just that it just happened to encounter special conditions, and the 92nd Division was unlucky and suffered a big loss.

The cavalry is known as the strongest type of troops on land and its rich and diverse tactics are inseparable, but the Glaive Formation can only attack head-on in the position of the Beida Battalion, and there are not many tactics that the 92nd Division can use under the constraints of the battlefield.

Shaodiantai wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements to break through the Beida camp, and Wu Yu had to adopt a simple and crude way of fighting, striving to solve the Yanyue Formation in the shortest possible time.

On flat ground, in a straight line, a strong crossbow plus a crossbow is a nightmare for cavalry, not to mention that there are auxiliary means such as tripping horses and throwing nets, and in front of the glaive array is a death passage.

There were still more than 5,000 people in the navy, and at the request of Wu Yu, two shield walls and temporary platforms were built.

"What about the people of the 91st Division?" Wu Yu found that Shaodiancang and his subordinates were gone.

Gan Yun turned his head to look at the east and said, "It should be to attack the enemy's Shuaitai." ”

Wu Chao's eyebrows tightened, and he said: "I can't rush over the platform in front of me, can Shaodian Cang beat the handsome platform?"

Shaodiancang went more smoothly than expected, and at this time he had hit under the Shuai Tai, but there were dense horse rejection piles around the Shuai Tai, and there were a large number of elite armored infantry behind the horse rejection stakes.

If they want to get to the top of the platform, they have to abandon their horses, walk around the horse rejection stakes, kill all the elite infantry, and of course have to guard against the crossbowmen overhead.

"Get off the horse, rush up, and capture Jiang Zhi alive!" Shao Diancang looked up at the panicked young chief of staff, and a great fortune was on his head.

There are at most 500 elite infantry under the Shuaitai, and there are 3,000 under his command, such an opportunity is rare!

He also didn't want to think about why the enemy's chief of staff was only with this little bit of men?

However, he did not send everyone, and left a thousand people with him.

Nearly 2,000 cavalrymen changed their swords, jumped off their horses, surrounded the shuaitai, and the soldiers in the front row began to swing their swords and cut down the horse stakes. They are not accustomed to fighting on foot under difficult terrain, and would rather spend a little more time cutting out a spacious battlefield.

"Hehe, I haven't completely lost my mind yet. Some of the means prepared by Jiang Zhi did not come in handy, "Send a signal!"

"Yes!" the soldier raised a red flag and waved it from side to side.

When Shaodiancang saw it, his heartbeat immediately missed half a beat, this flag was definitely not for him, it could only mean that there was an ambush nearby.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Hugh is gone, Shaodiancang!"

"Capture Shaodiancang alive!"

......

The situation was reversed in an instant, one moment it was still shouting "capture Jiang Zhi alive", and the next moment it became "capture Shao Diancang alive", the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and an inconspicuous decision may affect the final result.

The ambush soldiers came out from behind, cutting off the way for the 91st Division to retreat to the North Camp, but gave way to go deep into the East Camp, but Shao Diancang dared to choose to go deep into the East Camp, and quickly ordered to retreat to the North Day.

The elite infantry guarding the platform rushed out and entangled the unmounted cavalry to prevent them from leaving.

Shaodian Cang and the 1,000 cavalry left on horseback did not withdraw as soon as possible in order to wait for their companions, and without their protection, the ambush soldiers and crossbowmen on the Shuai Tai had already shot the empty war horses to death.

By the time most of the cavalry returned to their horses, the ambush had approached, and the cavalry had no distance to charge. The cavalry, which could not run, had no advantage over the infantry in the battle formation, and it was easy to be shot by the bow and crossbow while sitting on horseback, and the 91st Division was once again on the verge of annihilation.

This time, Shaodian stood up unharmed, regardless of the sneak attack of the crossbow arrows, fought to the death to open a bloody road, and the commander of the covering division led five hundred elites to break through the interception of the ambush soldiers, and finally bleed too much to fight again and was killed by the pursuers.

Shaodiancang fled back to the main battlefield of the Beida Battalion with the last 500 men of the 91st Division, and Chen Panqiu was leading his troops to storm the east side of the rear camp.

After the 93rd Division rushed into the Beida Battalion, Chen Panqiu did not blindly storm the Yanyue Formation, carefully observed the entire defense line, and decided to start from both flanks and risk penetrating the camp tent to go around the rear of the enemy.

He didn't know if there were ambushes or traps in the tent, and his instincts told him that the camp was far less dangerous than the enemy troops blocking the road.

As a result, he bet right, there are indeed traps in the camp tents of the large army, but each camp will cause a maximum of single-digit casualties, and the maximum loss of a hundred camps will be a few hundred, which is nothing compared to the friendly troops in front.

Ding Kui found out that something was wrong and quickly ordered the magician to burn the camp tent.

When the first fire-based magic concentration camp tent was held, Xi Xiu gave the order to transfer to the middle camp.

The damn glaive array finally retreated, and Wu Yu led the troops to the front of the general's platform, and saw that the people here went to the airspace.

"Hmph! It's not like they're just fleeing if they lose their territory, and without powerful long-range weapons, the Eighth Legion is scum!" he said deliberately loudly so that his subordinates around him could hear him.

"General Wu, please come to the platform. Gan Yun also brought someone to follow.

Wu Yu looked up at the battle in the air and said, "The enemy's magician has the strength to attack us, this general is too high, please add a layer in the middle." ”

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The defenders of the Northern Battalion set fire to the tents and bunkers along the way as they retreated.

"They're not going to fight us. Wu Yu was glad that he didn't chase too closely, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the fire.

"This, is this still useful?" Gan Yun looked at the fire in the distance and hesitated.

"That's right!" Wu Yu suddenly came to his senses, "Don't worry about it, go and dismantle the camp tent and remove the fire barrier before the fire spreads!" He quickly ordered his subordinates to join the demolition operation.

The barracks are mostly flammable, and the fire is out of control, not to mention that their magicians can't attack it, and it is difficult to extinguish the fire without the help of water magicians.

"The 96th Division is coming up. "A scout came to report, and just happened to meet Shaodiancang and Chen Panqiu coming.

"The big marshal means that there is also a strong attack. Shaodian Cang immediately saw the intention of the commander of the legion.

"The enemy has been prepared for a long time, and the places close to the middle camp have been lit, and there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the side of the middle camp, and there are at least five thousand crossbowmen, so we are vulnerable to firefighting. Wu Yu didn't mention a word that he couldn't attack, but his meaning was very clear.

"It's hard to disobey military orders. Chen Panqiu spit out four words with difficulty.

"Why don't we turn around and attack that Shuaitai, there were only a few thousand men there when I hit it just now. "Shaodiancang has not forgotten Jiang Zhi, the one who almost wiped out his army.

"Will there be an ambush?" Wu Yu was a little moved.

"If there is an ambush, I won't be able to come back, you can ask Xiaoqiu. "Shaodiancang is a little scared now, he can't leave with five more ambush soldiers.

"Hmm. Chen Panqiu nodded.

"The soldiers and horses in the eastern military camp should have been transferred here, even if there are left-behind troops, there will definitely not be many here, I support Lao Cang's proposal. "Wu Yu is simply going to attack the East Daying.

"Do you want to ask the commander?" Chen Panqiu felt that Wu Yu was right, but he didn't want to disobey the military order.

"Yes! I'll ask the marshal. Shao Diancang didn't dare to act without permission.

Shaodiantai can see them in the sky, so he doesn't need to send someone to ask for instructions, and he can communicate with the flag. The regular army has a mature flag language system, especially the cavalry units, and their battlefield area is generally large, and the flag language and military horn are important means of communication.

Shao Diantai saw the situation in the Beida Camp very clearly, and knew the difficulties of his subordinates, but he didn't know the specific situation of the Dongda Battalion, and the people pretending to be soldiers did play a confusing role.

However, years of combat experience made him quickly make a decision to agree to Shao Diancang's request.

Of course, Ding Kui could understand the flag language and smiled, "When I'm blind." He suddenly raised his breath and shouted, "The East Camp can be ambushed!"

Where did the Dongda Battalion come from to ambush? All the soldiers and horses were sent to the Beida Battalion, and the 5,000 people under the Shuai Tai were still from the Nanda Battalion, Jiang Zhi understood as soon as he heard it, and Ding Kui clearly asked him to be careful of the Dongda Battalion.

"Give Xi Xiu the banner and let the Dongda Battalion Headquarters return to defense. Jiang Zhi didn't dare to hold it up, so he left Shuaitai after giving the order, and decided to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge.

The preparations of the Eastern Battalion were not as sufficient as those of the Northern Battalion, so Jiang Zhi had to order everyone to act together, move all the rejected horses to the north of the rear camp, and then bury the piles and pull the cables, and use all the means to deal with the cavalry.

After receiving the order, Han Rujian immediately led people back to rush back, and ran to his own camp first, and sure enough, he saw that Jiang Zhi was already waiting for her in the Chinese military tent.

"Abandon the rear camp, I have ordered someone to pile up the things that cause fire, and you lead your troops to guard the entrance of the middle camp, and then make plans according to the further actions of the enemy. "Jiang Zhi doesn't plan to stick to the camp behind Dongdaying.

Because the 71st, 74th and 75th divisions came.

It has been more than half an hour since he found that the Tenth Army had lit the wolf smoke, and Dong Ba began to lead his troops to clean up the enemy scouts before a stick of incense, and the men and horses of the three divisions were on standby five miles to the southeast, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.

There is a deep ditch behind the eastern camp, and the enemy troops entering the rear camp can be blocked by encircling it on three sides, and then a fire can be lit to destroy the enemy without fighting.

Shaodiancang didn't know the danger in front of them, and they didn't encounter any resistance and entered the back camp of the East Battalion, but it took some effort to deal with the obstacles.

The 96th Division ran to the East Camp to join them, and in order to ensure their safety, the 99th Division, which was in charge of the left flank of the army, also went around to the rear of the East Camp and stood guard on the other side of the deep ditch.
