Chapter 1195 Fighting the Wuzhi Mountain again
The tragic defeat at Wuzhishan made Ye Darkfeng furious. The 17,000 soldiers of the Rising Sun Army alone made him feel heartbroken. Not to mention the 1,000 Youtan Army and 200 Pegasus horses who were regarded as his thorns.
Whether it is Youtan Army soldiers or Pegasus, it is extremely difficult to replenish them. Every time one of them dies in battle, one's side's strength will be reduced by one point.
Ye Anfeng, who was furious, summoned his men to summarize the battle: "Let's talk about it, why was there such a disastrous defeat?"
As the commander of this battle, Ma Zhongyi walked out tremblingly and said: "This cannot be entirely our fault. It is mainly because the Chen people are too cunning. They set up an ambush in Wuzhishan in advance and dug tunnels.
, set up a fortress. And very insidiously, a phantom formation was set up on the fortress. Only if our army failed to check it for a while would we fall into the enemy's scheme."
The furious Ye Anfeng grabbed the stone inkstone on the desk, threw it at Ma Zhongyi, and roared: "According to your wishes, the Chen people will tell you all the ambush, so that you know how to fight."
Facing the inkstone smashed by the dark night wind, Ma Zhongyi did not dare to dodge. His head was smashed and bleeding, and he became even more frightened. He stammered: "Your Majesty, I really did not expect that the people of Chen State would be so insidious...
…”
Ye Anfeng raised his hand and interrupted: "In war, you have to use all possible means. There is no such thing as insidious or insidious. Being plotted by others only shows that you are stupid. Also, the thought of underestimating the enemy can cause trouble."
Ma Zhongyi argued forcefully: "The general will be cautious all the way and will never underestimate the enemy."
Ye Anfeng sneered and said: "How dare you argue that when you land in a mountainous area, why don't you occupy the high ground on the hillside as soon as possible, and after landing, why don't you attack the places (hillsides) that may pose a threat to you?"
Why don't you conduct fire reconnaissance? These are common sense in infantry combat. If it weren't for underestimating the enemy, why would you make such a low-level misplacement?"
Ma Zhongyi lowered his head and said: "The general will realize his mistake, but it is up to your majesty to decide!"
After Ye Anfeng pondered for a while, he cleared his throat and said: "Deputy General Ma Zhongyi made improper command during the Wuzhishan battle and lost control of his advance and retreat, which caused heavy casualties to our army. He can be stripped of all his positions and titles and demoted to an ordinary soldier."
, obey orders in front of the army. If anyone underestimates the enemy and advances rashly in the future, causing heavy losses to our army, he will be killed without mercy."
After sending Ma Zhongyi away, Ye Anfeng said to Cao Shen: "We can't let this matter go. Wuzhishan must be captured as soon as possible. We have wasted too much time in this damn Yupan Mountain."
Cao Shen asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, you mean to immediately organize manpower to attack Wuzhishan for the second time?"
Ye Anfeng nodded and said: "Yes, our left and right wings outside Yupan Mountain are less than two days away from Wuzhi Mountain. I plan to let them speed up their progress and launch an attack on Wuzhi Mountain from both left and right wings at the same time."
Cao Shen nodded and said: "According to Ma Zhongyi and the soldiers who retreated, the fortresses in Wuzhishan are all facing the central plain and the air. If we attack from the periphery, there should be little resistance."
Ye Anfeng nodded and said: "It is better to be cautious. This time you will go to take command in person. I will allocate 20,000 horses from the left and right wings of the Rising Sun Army to you. You will go with large-caliber magic weapons. After you see the target, first
Use magic bombardment for a while to reveal the true appearance of these hillsides to me first."
Two days later, the second Battle of Wuzhishan started again. Forty thousand soldiers of the Rising Sun Legion, led by Cao Shen, were divided into two groups: left and right.
Arriving at the outskirts of Wuzhishan Mountain, the battlefield of Wuzhishan Mountain had been cleaned up by the Chen Kingdom army, and even the phantom formations on the hillside had been completely restored. From the surface, it was not obvious that there had been a battle a few days ago.
Great war.
Cao Shen knew that there was a fatal danger hidden under the seemingly calm surface. He ordered all thirty large-caliber artillery pieces in the army to be fired at the five slopes of Wuzhi Mountain. Ten minutes later, the bombardment stopped.
, those tunnel entrances and combat fortresses hidden by the phantom formation slowly revealed their true appearance.
The positions of these fortresses in Chen State were very tricky. It was difficult to aim the artillery, and the hit rate of the artillery bombardment was very low. However, Cao Shen had plenty of time and artillery shells. He ordered the artillery to fire in an orderly manner and destroy the fortresses that were exposed on the ground one by one.
After three hours of hard work, Cao Shen finally cleared the Chen Kingdom fortress on Wuzhi Mountain. Then, he sent infantry to occupy these five small peaks that had been riddled with holes.
However, when the infantry approached the hillside, the change occurred again. At the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, a long crack suddenly opened, and countless Chen soldiers with crossbows emerged from the crack, facing the unsuspecting Nan Chen.
The soldiers of the state fired wildly. When the soldiers of the Nanchen state reacted and prepared to counterattack, these people disappeared without a trace.
Under this round of crossbow strikes, more than 2,000 Nanchen soldiers were killed by the enemy's powerful crossbows, and more than 3,000 people were injured. Afterwards, the inspection of the wounded made Cao Shen and the Nanchen people completely
Angry, the people of Chen State actually smeared a poison called Lance on the arrows they shot. Although this poison is not fatal, it will dissolve the meridians in the human body, causing the poisoned person to have magical abilities.
