Chapter 1313 War of Attrition
Ye Xi pondered for a moment and said: "This plan is good. According to my will, Qiu Ping on the front line of Kenzhou launches a comprehensive counterattack against Ye Anfeng's army. This counterattack must be massive and steady, forcing Ye An to
The Feng Army is engaged in a large-scale war of attrition with our army. I also want to see if the Ye Dark Wind Army, which lacks logistical supplies, is still that powerful. In addition, send people to pay close attention to the direction of Luping Island. Once the Ye Dark Wind Army
If the navy can retake Luping Island and resume supplying supplies to the armies of the three southeastern states from there, we must immediately adjust our strategy."
Wang Zhigang nodded with deep sympathy and said: "Your Majesty has foresight. We must always be on guard against Ye Dark Wind to retake Luping Island and restore the East China Sea route. Mi Chong is really unreliable. I hope she can withstand Ye Dark Wind."
It is simply unrealistic for Dark Wind East China Sea Fleet to attack Luping Island. Although this guy's actions may seem unconstrained, he is by no means a loser. Dongsheng Fleet has no battleships and cannot compete with Ye Dark Wind's East China Sea Fleet.
I suspect that she is very likely to evacuate Luping Island on her own initiative."
Ye Xi smiled bitterly and said: "I also think that it is entirely possible for this guy to do this. Please remind Qiu Ping and ask him not to go too deep behind enemy lines, lest it be too late to retreat when the situation changes."
Qiu Ping, who was on the front line of Shangyang County, implemented Ye Xi's intention very well. After receiving the order from the court, he immediately dispatched a million-strong army, divided into two groups, and rushed towards Ye Anfeng's army in a mighty manner.
Relying on their numerical advantage, the Chen State army quickly cleared the outer positions of the Ye Dark Wind Army and approached the two counties of Shipai and Yangze, making a plan to drive the Ye Dark Wind Army out of Kenzhou.
Posture.
Nanchen Kingdom's garrison in Shipai County and Yangze County is nominally the main force of its five legions, with a total strength of more than two million, but the only two legions with real combat effectiveness are the Red Star and Tiger legions, and the rest are Ye Dark Wind Xinjin.
The new soldiers recruited in the occupied territory had not received systematic military training, and their combat effectiveness was negligible. Facing the menacing Chen Kingdom army and Nanchen Kingdom Red Star, the Tiger Legion unanimously chose the tactic of defending the city.
Faced with the enemy's shrinking defense, Qiu Ping did not attack blindly. Instead, he organized all the artillery in the army to launch indiscriminate bombardments at the two counties of Shipai and Yangze. The Red Star and Tiger Legions relied on the county cities.
The defensive formation resisted tenaciously.
As mentioned before, the operation of any formation requires a large amount of energy to maintain. In many realms, the operation of formations is maintained by the energy of spiritual stones. But the fairy medicine world is a place where spiritual stones are extremely poor.
The operation of the formation can only rely on the soldiers to continuously input spiritual energy into the formation. When the spiritual energy of the soldiers who maintain the formation is exhausted, they need to be rotated. The soldiers who are replaced either absorb spiritual energy from nature.
To recover, you can either take replenishing elixirs.
Absorbing spiritual energy from nature is very slow to recover. After a monk's spiritual energy is exhausted, it usually takes more than twenty-four hours to replenish his own spiritual energy by absorbing spiritual energy from nature. During these twenty-four hours,
, these monks basically lost their combat effectiveness.
However, the world of elixirs is a place where elixirs and elixirs are particularly developed. Soldiers in the army carry a large amount of elixirs with them. When their own spiritual energy is exhausted, they only need to take elixirs to quickly replenish them.
own spiritual energy, thereby gaining the ability to continue fighting.
The current defenders of Nanchen Kingdom lost the possibility of replenishing the elixir in a short period of time because the logistics base Luping Island was attacked by the Dongsheng Fleet. Qiu Ping concentrated a large number of magic artillery to attack the two counties of Shipai and Yangze.
The purpose is to consume a large amount of the healing elixirs carried by the defenders. Once the defenders in the county and the healing elixirs are exhausted, the city's defensive formation will collapse. At that time, the defenders in the city can only become magic spells.
The innocent soul under the gun.
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the Red Star and Tiger troops had to choose to take the initiative, intending to destroy the enemy's artillery positions and drain the firepower. But Qiu Ping was well prepared for this. When arranging his troops, he used his own.
The artillery position was tightly protected.
What was originally a fortified battle turned into a field battle. The two sides set up their own formations under the two counties of Shipai and Yangze, and launched a hand-to-hand life and death struggle. The battle became fierce from the beginning, and soldiers from both sides sacrificed their lives.
They fought desperately, and soon the land under the city was dyed blood red. In the end, neither warring party could take advantage, and each ended sadly with the loss of more than 200,000 soldiers.
The sudden change on the Kenzhou front line made Ye Anfeng furious. He never expected that Ye Xi would react so quickly. As soon as the news of the attack on Luping Island reached the Imperial City, Ye Xi made the decision to counterattack. Ye Anfeng
