Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
Part Two, Chapter Six, Conquering Hegemony, Section One Hundred and Fourteen, Soldier
Under the dim light, the entire tent was gloomy and pale. This was the first joint meeting since the war started. An optimistic atmosphere, although the people of Xijiang have deployed a strong force in Yunfu, but with five times his powerful military force, the not-so-strong Yunfu will surely become ashes, according to Chu Taifeng himself According to his estimation, Yunfu City should be under his feet within three days. At that time, he was even thinking about how to prevent the Dotons and Poole people from ravaging the city too much.
But now it seems that I was too optimistic like everyone else at the beginning, so optimistic that it was almost arrogant. Attacked the top of the city several times, but were driven down without exception. The strength that the Xijiang Army exploded at the final critical moment did not insult their self-proclaimed title of "bronze wall and iron wall".
The battle on the third day has come to an end. Compared with the battle situation on the second day, the tragic situation on the third day is not inferior at all. Perhaps the Puer people also realized that they could not make a breakthrough from the west gate. They also sent their most elite infantry of 30,000 people to the east gate to join Chu Taifeng's attack sequence as agreed. On the third day, Chu Taifeng attacked. It can also be said that they tried their best to push the 30,000-man team of the Puer people plus the second division of the second army to the front line, and the second and third divisions, which had only had time to rest for a day, were once again the reserve team. Join the order of battle.
A corps leader of the Poole people personally attended the battle to observe the performance of the Poole soldiers after receiving the support of various weapons to attack the city first. It should be said that the performance of these three elite 10,000-man teams from Poole is still remarkable. Although it still can't catch up with the performance of the divisions of the First Legion, in the words of the representative of the Puer people watching the battle, the performance of the Tanghe people and the Xijiang people in this battle "completely subverted his past perception of the Tanghe army's combat effectiveness. "
The performance of the Poole people is not bad, especially with the support of the large-scale siege vehicle, which is a pioneering and large-scale siege weapon. The head of Yunfu city. They have retreated countless times with **** heads and bleeding, and they have tried their best. However, the performance of the Xijiang soldiers was even better. They almost did not give the Puer people any chance of success. Every time they charged, they felt as if they had kicked into an iron wall, unable to shake them. Finally disappeared under the city wall.
Siege towers are not very suitable for them. The Poole army, which focuses on overall strength, is not suitable for this kind of equipment that requires more individual capabilities. Often, the siege tower iron bridge has just been put on the city wall, and the Puer soldiers only have time to fight and struggle on the iron bridge for a while, and even the city wall is seldom able to control it. The team and the killing team cooperated perfectly and tacitly to kill.
The officers who watched the battle from Puer also believed that their soldiers had fully demonstrated their strength, and they had done their best, but the tenacity and audacity of the Xijiang people were so terrifying that they could not use any reason to explain why They will never be able to make a breakthrough when they are several times stronger than the opponent. In the end, Poole's generals can only use the astonishing performance of "the inhuman treatment that soldiers in Western Xinjiang may encounter after they may be on the verge of the city slope" A kind of discourse that is close to playing with the art of language to explain.
Zhu Kui also wanted to prove himself and the Second Army through this battle. Chu Taifeng was obviously dissatisfied with the performance of Gao Qiushan's Fifth Division on the first day, which would damage the overall image of the Second Army. Zhu Kui hopes to use the performance of the Second Division to impress the opponent in today's battle. But he still didn't expect to encounter such a tragic and unforgivable encounter.
When the fireballs were thrown by the catapult within 200 meters from the city wall, Zhu Kui realized that something was wrong. The burning things on the ground were obviously poured and sprinkled on it, and there was nothing on the ground. It ignited a fire like everyone imagined. But it did burn, but the fire was not that big, but it produced a lot of thick smoke, and the billowing smoke filled the entire battlefield for a time. Could this be a new tactic adopted by the Xijiang army, hoping to use this thing to block their sight so that they can attack on the move? No, it's impossible, Zhu Kui didn't believe that the generals of the Western Frontier Army would be so mentally handicapped. But how effective is this smoke? Don't you just want to slow down the pace of your side's attack?
Zhu Kui soon discovered that he was actually mentally handicapped. The not-so-strong northwest wind from the northwest caused the thick smoke to spread and quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield. area. To Zhu Kui's dismay, this kind of thick smoke did not seem to be the thick smoke produced by ordinary burning plants. The stench mixed with strong irritating smoke quickly made the soldiers of their own division who were advancing steadily uncomfortable, and their eyes were red and swollen and unable to open. There was suffocation in the lungs, spasms in the stomach, and a large number of soldiers fell down like felled wheat. Like the plague, it quickly spread to the entire battlefield. Their forward troops have at least had several battles with the Xijiang army, but Zhu Kui's division was used by Chu Taifeng in the third wave of offensive, but their luck was so unlucky that they caught up with the Xijiang army all at once. The army's new poisonous gas.
The unprepared Second Division of the Second Legion and an elite Poole team of 10,000 people encountered this kind of real disaster on the spot. The smoke quickly caused more than 30,000 soldiers who were preparing to attack to lose most of their combat effectiveness The soldiers vomited and went blind one after another. In such a situation, not to mention the attack, it was considered a good performance not to collapse on the spot. Fortunately, Chu Taifeng was still responsive and promptly ordered the follow-up Second and Third Divisions of the First Legion to take off their robes Soaking in water covered their heads and went forward to respond, which prevented the Xijiang cavalry who had taken advantage of the situation from achieving their goal of counterattacking, but even so, the Second Division of the Second Army and a 10,000-strong team of Puer people who had not yet entered the battle were all defeated by the Xijiang cavalry. The raid caused considerable losses, and the damage caused by this poisonous gas could not be recovered in a day or two. Many soldiers were still blind until night, which greatly damaged the morale of the Northern Army.
But these are not enough to make Chu Taifeng so restless. A partial tactical defeat cannot change the final outcome of the battle. Although the Western Frontier Army can gain temporary benefits by using this type of poisonous gas, it also relies on changes in the weather. Wind power, once these natural conditions no longer exist, then their good days will come to an end. What bothered him was the information he had just obtained. More than 100,000 cavalry from the four ranger regiments in Xijiang had passed through Northwest County and entered Terok territory, and it is estimated that they will enter Yulin territory soon. Far. It's not that Chu Taifeng was not mentally prepared for the nomadic cavalry from the western border to return eastward, but he did not expect the enemy cavalry to return so quickly, almost desperately running wildly, although the nomadic cavalry showed it when they wandered around on the grassland. His endurance is quite astonishing, but this time is different, it is nearly 4,000 miles away, and it takes more than ten days to rush back, which is unimaginable. You must know that the march of this brigade of cavalry troops is not like that kind of passing Whether it is the soldiers or the horses in the flying relay of Yishu, they will bear considerable physical exertion, and the reckless forced march will only completely collapse this army.
The grim reality forced Chu Taifeng to summon the commanders of Dorton and Puer people to hold the first joint meeting since the start of the war. The situation of the coalition forces will become extremely unfavorable~IndoMTL.com~More than 100,000 rangers will plunge the coalition forces into endless battles of pull and raids, think about the more than 100,000 rangers who have disappeared without a trace Playing this kind of hide-and-seek war of attrition with his own army, Chu Taifeng felt a headache, and more importantly, time was not on his side. If he had enough time, he would not be afraid of the harassment of more than 100,000 rangers, but The Western Frontier Army invested heavily in the southern peninsula, obviously to completely solve the problem of the Maqihan people. Once the Maqihan people can't cause trouble for Li Wufeng, it is almost impossible for the three legions to be placed on the peninsula. There must be two legions going north. At that time, with the addition of the First Legion of Western Xinjiang, which has already gained an absolute advantage in Wuhu, Chu Taifeng dare not think about it anymore.
"Everyone, just now I have informed you of the information we have obtained. I believe you can also understand the threat behind this. Li Wufeng's 120,000 rangers are rushing desperately, and their purpose is to save Yunfu. It is estimated that we will cross Jieluk and enter Yulin in at most two days, which means that we still have three days at most, maybe only two days, and I have sent a large number of scouts Reconnaissance along the line to grasp the progress and movements of these rangers, so there is no need to panic too much for the time being. But what is before us is that once the rangers join the battle, we may have to face a very difficult situation. If we can’t achieve the goal we originally envisioned, we will win Yunfu, and the nail of Yunfu is in our hearts, and all our arrangements and responses will be greatly restricted and restricted. I believe everyone should be clear about this.” Chu Taifeng even It is at this time that he still behaves calmly and calmly, without revealing the fear in his heart.
