Chapter 453: Victory Without Suspense
Miao He's attack has no technical content, long-range containment, melee attrition, and sneak attacks by elite troops are to use troops to eat the opponent. If he had time, he would not want to fight like this, there were 20,000 troops available, and there were too many tactics to choose from.
Ding Kui didn't know how to explain to Ao Yu, so he simply ignored the self-righteous dragon.
A dispute broke out in the Meng army camp, and the four captains had different opinions on whether to immediately and forcibly break through. Three thousand troops had already been invested in the defense and counter-charge of the camp, and only the sixth brigade was left without entering the battle. According to the commander-in-chief's intentions, when the counter-charge troops and the Shaodian army were fighting, the sixth brigade took advantage of the situation and rushed downhill, and all the soldiers in the camp followed to break through.
The commanders of the fourth, fifth, and sixth battalions all had the opinion that if the enemy still had a large number of reserves, then the sixth brigade would basically be doomed to annihilation, and the troops behind would not be able to escape a few people; if the enemy did not have enough troops, then there would be no need to break through the encirclement, and it would be completely possible to defend the battalion.
Bang, there was a loud bang, and the northern camp of the Meng army was blasted open by magic, and soldiers from the Shaodian Kingdom climbed up from the bottom of the steep slope one after another.
This sudden change quickly unified the opinions of the officers of the Meng army, and even without waiting for the counter-charge part to be consumed by the Shaodian army, they immediately opened the horse shed and pulled all the war horses behind the gate of the camp.
The four captains were the first to rush out of the camp gate, followed by the 6th Brigade with a thousand cavalry. The Meng soldiers, who were still on the fortifications, hurried to the gate, and if they ran fast, they could even grab a horse.
As long as they can't rush up, they will be surrounded by many people, and it will be difficult for them to fly. Miao He sent out all the reserves, leaving a few personal soldiers by his side.
The 8th, 9th, and 10th brigades of the 19th Division are long weapons and heavy armor samurai brigades, which are reserved for dealing with the cavalry of the Meng army, and now the Meng army is desperate and comes in handy.
Ding Kui saw that Miao He's side was empty, so he took Ao Yu forward and stayed by Miao He's side.
"Hmm, Captain Ding, why are you here?" Miao He didn't notice who the friendly forces were sending to observe the battle situation, and only found out when Ding Kui approached.
"My lord, I was ordered to come and observe the battlefield to prevent the rout from storming the camp. β
"Oh, do you have something to report?"
"No, the humble man saw that the guards around the lord were insufficient, so he took the initiative to come to guard. β
"Hehe, are you worried that the enemy army will be able to break through the encirclement of our troops and kill here? Don't worry, although the 19th Division is not an elite unit, I believe that they can stop the enemy army, not to mention that I am not a vegetarian. Miao He smiled confidently.
"I don't dare to doubt the strength of your department, just add an extra bit of insurance to the safety of adults, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so it's good to shout and cheer around my lords. β
When Ding Kui and the two came over, Miao He's personal soldiers did not stop them, and these personal soldiers also hoped that Miao He would have more guards around him.
"Okay, good, after dawn, Ben will have his own place to rely on your department, Captain Ding has the opportunity to show his powers, and I hope that Captain Ding will not hesitate to help Ben General. Miao He saw that there were not many people around, so he spoke to Ding Kui in a very polite tone, "You see, the enemy army hurriedly used cavalry to break through in the dark night, and really made a big mistake, this battle is decided!"
Ding Kui looked up at the high ground and saw that the cavalry of the Meng Army was forced to rush into a dark place by the archers of the Shaodian Army, and the 8th, 9th, and 10th Brigades of the 19th Division set up a position behind the darkness.
When the Meng army saw the formation of the Shaodian army's reserves, they could no longer stop the galloping war horses, and plunged into the spear shield rejection formation like a dense forest. The fourth captain of the Meng army was stabbed to death by three spears on the spot, and the other three captains did not hold on long before they fell into the gun shield rejection formation, and were trapped by the net hook after only a few struggles, and were knocked out before carrying a few sticks.
The sharpest arrows were blocked, and the cavalry brigade could not rush after breaking through the three-layer gun shield to resist the horse formation. As long as the rhythm of the charge is disrupted in the dark, the cavalry team can easily lose its own position, often tripping over its own people, and the team behind needs to reduce the speed of their horses as soon as possible.
The archers on the half-slope had already adjusted their formation, spread out on the side of the Meng army's breakthrough, replaced the rockets with armor-piercing arrows, and shot at the Meng army in blocks, giving the fleeing Meng army a fatal blow.
The infantry attacking the camp was divided into two parts, the first half continued to attack the camp, and cooperated with the troops who rushed into the camp from the north to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Mongol army; the second half assembled into a phalanx, outflanked the fleeing Mongol army from the rear, and cooperated with the intercepting troops at the bottom of the slope to form an encirclement, so as to completely encircle and kill the Mongol army that rushed out of the camp.
At this time, the fleeing procession of the Meng army was completely chaotic and began to rush in all directions, rushing with their heads down as long as there was no fire and no one was there. Neither the officers nor the soldiers cared about the formation, and if they could rush into the darkness at this time, they would have a chance to escape.
Ding Kui looked up at the sky in the east, "It's almost there, it's going to be dawn in a quarter of an hour, and it will be bright when these stragglers run to the 20th Division." Miao He's voice sounded in his ears, "Captain Ding, you immediately rush back to the camp and order Xue Chong, after Nan Wushuang leads his troops to take over your troops to guard the camp, your troops will immediately go to Wanggui City, and intercept and kill all the Meng troops who fled to the main camp of the Meng 84th Division under Wanggui City; β
"Yes! Humble command!" Ding Kui took the order flag handed over by Miao He with both hands, and immediately returned to the camp with Ao Yu.
Nan Wushuang's scout brigade was scattered around the battlefield before the battle began, beware of enemy forces in ambush or support, and at this time they were quickly assembling and preparing to rush to the camp to replace Xue Chong's first brigade.
"Organize the housekeeping in five minutes, and get on the horse and stand by when it's over!" Xue Chong motioned to Ding Kui to hand over the order flag to Ao Yu, and now he used Ao Yu as half of his own personal soldiers.
When the eastern sky turned white, Nan Wushuang led his troops to the camp.
Xue Chong immediately rushed to Nan Wushuang and clenched his fists and said, "There is Captain Lao Nan here." β
"Captain Xue rest assured, Nan will be able to protect the safety of the camp, and I wish your department a smooth trip. Nan Wushuang said in return.
"Captain Chengnan Ji Yan. The first team, let's go!" Xue Chong waved his hand and led the team to set off.

As soon as Yu Zhong led the 75th Division to take over the defense of the 76th Division, the sound of enemy drums sounded outside the camp.
"It's just dawn, and these grandsons are on it again. Jiao Mingguang followed Fan Yuzhen's ass and climbed to a watchtower.
"Well, this is the fourth day in a row that the assault has begun, and it would be naΓ―ve for the Meng army to expect this to exhaust our legions. Isn't the Meng Seventh Legion the descendant of some female general god? Hehe, they alone are not enough. A sneer appeared at the corner of Fan Yuzhen's mouth, "Be in good spirits, are your achievements the day before yesterday worthy of the world? If you don't fight well today, our brigade will become a joke of the whole army, whoever wants to harm me to be despised by the world, I will definitely peel him when I go back!"
