I’m The King Chapter 805: : Sunrise East (30)
In the rear main formation of the Zhengdong Army, a high-character flag fluttered in the wind. Gao Yuan, who had been staring at the changes in the battlefield, saw that the First Division had stood firm, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The first three axes of the army are the most difficult to resist. As long as the first wave of attacks is blocked, it will get better and better in the future. If they can't break through the army formation and take advantage of their speed, the palace guard army will have nothing to fear. When the cavalry of the Eastern Conquest Army cannot compete with the opponent, the powerful infantry with suitable weapons is still the only magic weapon against the cavalry of the Eastern Hu.
The palace guards in the central battlefield began to retreat. They needed to distance themselves and launched a second charge. The first division did not stop them. The five hundred Mo Dao soldiers strode forward and stood at their original positions. The first battalion and the second battalion moved closer to the two sides of the Mo Dao soldiers, and a solid army formation was formed again
On the two wings, however, the cavalry battle continued. Countless horses galloped back and forth. Whether it was infantry or Shangguan Hong, they all pulled the Donghu cavalry on the two wings to the distance intentionally or unintentionally, making them farther and farther away from the central battlefield. The generals of the palace guards they were facing were not aware of this, but it was not so easy for them to retreat. The opponent was also a cavalry, and now the two sides were cooperating, and they could not help but follow each other farther and farther.
Gao Yuan turned his head, looked at Kumamoto beside him, and asked with a smile, "General Xiong, what do you think of my Eastern Army?"
Kumamoto himself is a titan himself, and he has fought countless battles, but he is still overshadowed by the fierce battle just now. Generally speaking, an army,. When one-third of the battle is lost, it has already lost its combat effectiveness, and if the battle loses more than two-thirds, it will definitely collapse, but today. What he saw was another look. The two battalions of the Young Guards of the Zhengdong Army at the forefront definitely lost more than one-third, or even close to one-half, but they still fought to the death. , and successfully merged into one at the last minute. Once again, the defense was stabilized, and the oppressive style of play of the first division also made the palace guards extremely uncomfortable facing the powerful palace guards. After withstood the opponent's first wave of attacks, the subsequent two wings pressed forward. . The mortar attack in the middle forced the palace guards to retreat and regain their strength. All the achievements they had made before had been completely wiped out at the moment they retreated. When they were ready for the second round of attack, facing The Eastern Expeditionary Army has already completed the layout of the army formation
A cavalry attack on infantry. It turned into a war of attrition, which is absolutely unbearable for Donghu people
"Such a powerful army. No wonder the governor has been invincible all these years. He has beaten Donghu to the brink of extinction. Even the well-known palace guards can't break through the formation of the Eastern Conquer Army. I can't imagine that there are such An army that can rival your army, Commander "Kumamoto Road
"There is still some!" Gao Yuan turned his head and looked towards the west
Kumamoto's heart tightened. Immediately understood what Gao Yuan was referring to, the Qin people. The army of the Qin Kingdom far in the west is also an invincible and powerful army. Over the years, countless small countries have been destroyed, and even South Korea, one of the top seven, has no power to resist. Now it is Wei's turn to tremble under their swords. But now the country of Zhao has also crossed the river like a bodhisattva, and it is hard to protect itself. It is really hard to say how long it will last for the people of Wei.
"Captain, how long do you think the Donghu people can last?" Kumamoto asked
"General Xiong, you are too humble. You have the talent of a general, and you have fought countless great battles. I believe you have already seen the key to this." Tell me, what will Thorpe do next?"
Kumamoto looked at the Donghu army formation in the distance, "Then the general will show his shame. Thorpe gathered troops in Yulin to seek a decisive battle with the governor. The big victory is almost a foregone conclusion. In a few days, troops will attack Lin, Yulin, and Thorpe from two sides. He can only fight like a cornered beast, hoping to defeat the governor here, and seek the slightest chance of turning defeat into victory out of the impossible. So , he will never admit defeat. In fact, at this point in the battle, Thorpe should also understand that he has absolutely no chance of winning. The only thing he can do is to withdraw troops, but withdrawal means failure for the Donghu people , Yulin has no danger to defend, he can only retreat to Helin, and the army of Zhengdong Army besieged Helin, how long can Helin last? This time, it is not the last time that the Donghu people deliberately did it."
"So, Thorpe will definitely not retreat, but will launch a desperate attack"
"Yes, Thorpe's reason for the decisive battle with the governor here is nothing more than hoping for the strong combat effectiveness of the palace guards, but now, the palace guards are obviously unable to break through our defense, I think Thorpe will try again once, and then he'll launch an all-out attack, launching a suicide attack"
"Suicide attack?" Gao Yuan laughed, "What good does it do him? His troops are lost here, and my East Army can still take Helin."
"What he wants is your life." Kumamoto turned his head and said: "If you can kill you, then the Zhengdong Army will be in chaos, at least temporarily unable to attack Helin again, and win this precious respite I think it's exactly what Thorp wants"
"Will my life?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Thorpe, who claims to be the arrogance of a generation, is so naive as General Xiong. In that case, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"If he wants a decisive battle, let's give him a decisive battle. We don't have to wait for them to launch first, but we can pre-emptively attack and disrupt their deployment. I think the governor ordered the infantry general and General Shangguan Hong to fight against the enemies on the left and right flanks." The more you ride, the farther you go, so that's the meaning, right?"
"Okay, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. What General Xiong said is exactly what I want to say. He wants a decisive battle, so let him fight!" The palace guards, here, tens of thousands of troops will launch a fatal blow to Thorpe, he wants to kill, why don't I want to kill him"
"Commander, Kumamoto requests an attack!" Kumamoto looked excited. As the general of the former Yan Kingdom, why didn't he want to destroy Donghu and take back the Liaodong Peninsula all his life? But in the country of Yan, this ideal can only be a fantasy, but now, this possibility has been infinitely magnified. Participating in this battle, defeating Donghu, and recovering Liaodong, his name will also go down in history along with the governor Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan smiled gently, "General Xiong's loyalty and bravery are understandable, but your troops have not recovered to their best condition, so let's use it as the last wave of attack. At that time, I believe Donghu is already in danger , you lead the army again and give them the final blow. They need a hearty victory to boost their morale and restore their confidence." Gao Yuan looked at the 20,000 Zhao army array behind Xiong himself
Kumamoto nodded speechlessly. He knew very well that Gao Yuan was right. With the intensity of the battle he had just seen, the subordinates he commanded were really unable to deal with it. If his subordinates were at the top right now I'm afraid the position of the first division has already collapsed
What Gao Yuan said about giving the final blow to Donghu's army in a precarious situation is actually just a nice way of saying it. A victory to bring his army back to its previous spirit
"But water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. If our attack does not go well, General Xiong, it will be up to you." Gao Yuan raised the Mo Dao in his hand
"Does the governor want to fight in person?" Kumamoto asked in surprise
"Of course, I haven't played in person for a long time, and my bones are a little loose." Gao Yuan laughed and said: "It's rare today, there is an opponent who is equal in chess and drums, so naturally my hands are a little itchy. I will go into battle in person. General Kumamoto, you come to the battle. When it is time to join your army, you can decide for yourself"
"Thank you, Governor Nobushige." Kumamoto was very grateful, and bowed his fists, "The final general is definitely not what the governor wants."
Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid Thorpe is still looking forward to the miracle of Alundai and Usu Suotan's side. The army?"
In Jingyuan, the headquarters of the Northern Army led by Xu Yuan, the First Army of the Northern Army led by Yan Peng, Gongsun Yi, and Luo Lei led tens of thousands of independent cavalry divisions. More than 5,000 cavalry, coupled with infantry from all walks of life, in the direction of Jingyuan, the East Army has a greater advantage
Gao Yuan raised the Mo Dao in his hand and rode his horse forward. As the banner of his Chinese army moved forward, the whole army of the Second Army under the command of Luo Weiran also advanced together
"Eastern Conquest~IndoMTL.com~Wan Sheng!"
Every time the lofty banner passes by a phalanx, the soldiers in the phalanx give out deafening cheers
Yang Dasha turned his head and saw that the high-character banner was approaching the front line. He also raised his Mo Dao high and roared: "The commander-in-chief has gone to battle in person. Does it mean that our young guards still need the commander-in-chief?" Come to the front line, that is our shame, Young Guards, advance, assault!"
"Youth Guards, move forward!" The two brothers Mei Hua and Wu Ya stood side by side, raised their swords and echoed loudly
Yang Dasha strode forward with the Five Hundred Modao Squad. On their left and right was the First Battalion and the Second Battalion of the First Division. Behind them, Mei Hua and Wu Ya led The **** remnants of the third battalion and the fourth battalion regained their strength and made great strides to keep up
Guo Laolan raised his iron gun and swung a large spear in the air, "Youth Guards, go forward!" The second division also closely followed the pace of the first division in front
Thorpe's pupils contracted. This was the first time he saw the infantry charging towards the cavalry (to be continued)
