Chapter 554: Quick Battle

"How could this happen? Isn't the Leiyin Demon Sect the combat power superior?" Lord Xiling asked anxiously: "It shouldn't be fought like this?"

"This has nothing to do with the Leiyin Demon Sect. The army with religious foundation is indeed prone to such problems. Moreover, it is not a loss now." Ye Tao was very open-minded and said plainly.

The situation in Taizhou is indeed quite complicated. After a war, the overall loss rate of both sides exceeded 60%. Even the original cavalry from the distance, they entered the fanatical fighting atmosphere without realizing it. They sacrificed their lives to launch repeated attacks regardless of the cost. After the two horses they carried were exhausted, the cavalry who could still fight dismounted as infantry and continued to enter the battle. A war started on various scales on a long front that lasted for more than 400 miles. After the war that lasted for nearly ten days finally came to an end, the two sides fixed the front and counted the number

The word "六文" made the soldiers in both sides not know what to do. The Daomingzong invested various troops in total, with a total of 750,000 casualties reaching 550,000 casualties, of which 220,000 were killed. The Leiyin Demon Sect and the Zhenzhou coalition forces invested a total of 390,000 military forces, with a total of 240,000 casualties reaching 240,000. However, the battlefield rescue and logistics of the Leiyin Demon Sect were much stronger than that of Daomingzong, with less than 80,000 casualties. The main difference in the number of casualties lies not in the battlefield, but in the rescue on the battlefield. The treatment of wounds was almost the only way to leave the will of fate. Almost most of the deaths of Daomingzong were caused by post-war infections.

The consequence of this war is that both sides cannot organize a large-scale offensive and defense in a short period of time. Everyone maintains the current front line and licks their wounds. Of course, in terms of specific recovery, the Leiyin Demon Sect is much better. Lei Huang's report said that the Leiyin Demon Sect can reorganize the response-scale military force within one month. At the same time, reinforcements from Zhenzhou will also come in a steady stream. When the Leiyin Demon Sect launches another attack, the military force will be more than 30% stronger than now. But Lei Huang also frankly stated that in this month, he may not be able to put enough pressure on the northern border of Daoming Sect. The opponent will concentrate some troops, and then the army will go south.

This conclusion would make the Yin family even more nervous, but Ye Tao did not think there was any problem. The various problems exposed by the Emperor Daoming Sect in that battle were too serious, and it was a huge loss to the morale of the superiors and subordinates. Their military strength was almost twice as strong as the Leiyin Demon Sect, but it was like this, and the number of casualties was three times that of the other party. In the eyes of the commander, the injury was a relative number. Once the injury recovered and he was reorganized into the army, the combat power of the veterans was not of the same level as the new recruits who had not been tested in the war. Lei Huang's estimate of the combat power in a month can even be said to be conservative.

If Emperor Daomingzong would pile up a large number of troops in the north and prevent specific numbers from spreading, then they might have a chance. Wait for the combat power to recover, and in another battle, even if the military strength of the Leiyin Demon Sect and Zhenzhou are in place, it is hard to say with their huge military strength advantages. But now it seems that Emperor Daomingzong obviously did not organize a large number of troops to move, and could still be in order. You can tell from their death rate, and the logistics is seriously insufficient. In one month, they would move hundreds of thousands of troops from the north of the control area to the south, carry out one or two decisive battles, and then move back to the north to continue to fight against the Leiyin Demon Sect-Zhenzhou coalition forces? What a joke? Even the regular army, elite troops, and the main generals of Dongping have to think carefully. Is this too much load on the troops? What's more, these mobs of Emperor Daomingzong?

Therefore, Ye Tao had to take action, forcing the other party to move a large number of troops south, and then look for his own fighter in the huge chaos and fatigue. Considering the power in his hands, Ye Tao decided to take the initiative.

"I'm just explaining this battle. I hope everyone understands it. Leiyin Demon Sect and Zhenzhou coalition are not considered defeated no matter how they say it is. I think they have done a good job. It is beyond my expectations to do so with limited troops. In fact, at first I thought that if they retreated a little, it would be harmless. Letting Daomingzong's large force move to the north will win time and space for us to carry out combat activities. Daomingzong's battles on both sides is the greatest disadvantage, and we must fully amplify this disadvantage infinitely." Ye Tao said, allowing everyone present to recover from their previous tension and anxiety. Good fortune is the hidden danger, and misfortune is the dependence of good fortune. It is not only a matter of luck, but also depends on whether the people standing in the highest position have the ability to operate and discover.

"Is there a chance to turn a battle on two fronts into a battle on three fronts?" Tan Weixin suddenly asked.

"Fight on the third line? Xunshan Pass?" Ye Tao understood. This side of Xunshan Pass was already the area controlled by Emperor Daomingzong.

"In the first battle zone, Old General Yu also needs to assist in the defense of Jinzhou. King Juxian is unwilling to use Chunnan's military strength to fight Chunnan's military strength..." Ye Tao slapped his head and suddenly realized: "I understand, what do you mean is to let King Juxian lead his army from Xunshan Pass to Xiling?"

This idea made the whole court boil. Everyone argued enthusiastically, and then became quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Tao who was thinking seriously, waiting for his conclusion.

"Send a report immediately to ask about the possibility of such arrangements. There are several key points. First, whether Chang Hongquan's troops are willing to accept my direct command and enter Xiling battle now. In addition, they have to take a few days to start the attack. If within five days, let Danyang send a team to coordinate and command and contact to Xunshan Pass to get the whole thing." Ye Tao ordered the staff officers on the side. The staff officer knew that the matter was urgent, so he nodded and immediately went out to send a telegram.

"So, can we raise 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops from the current military power?" Ye Tao asked. In terms of title, he has always been ambiguous. Otherwise, it would be obvious that it would be inappropriate for the Lord Xiling to call His Majesty. Call Your Majesty or Lord? He has not been officially incorporated into Dongping yet, which is too bullying. Both sides know this, and everyone is also ambiguous.

"What are the uses for 30,000 elites?" asked the Lord Xiling.

"Since the other party wants to mobilize, there will inevitably be a large-scale chaos. I will order the airship team to start harassing with all their strength. Now that most people know that the two sides have joined forces, it doesn't matter to directly use Anqing as the airship's attack base, but it will be more difficult to replenish. I let the team come with a full load, and the supply can be carried out at most several large-scale air strikes. But if the harassment is dispersed, the effect will probably be greater. Although the north is unable to launch a powerhouse, the North will not be able to launch a large number of air strikes.

There is a large-scale offensive, but I assigned the Zhenzhou Front Army to make some noise. Dai Yun had 100,000 people in his hands, which was enough to carry out a massive attack. The important thing was to mobilize the core military force of Emperor Daomingzong. Let their entire chassis be filled with soldiers and fall into chaos. Then, I used 30,000 elite troops to penetrate the center of Emperor Daomingzong in chaos. Catch all their highest levels in one place, and the remaining problems are easy to solve." Ye Tao said.

"Do you know where the bishop of Emperor Daoming and the people around you are?"

"The inner court guards have found the location. Now there are still several parties to conduct some tests and confirmation. By then, I will be at least 70% sure to find the right position. If not, I will have a second plan."

"I want to burn the main altar of Emperor Daomingzong, not only the Laojun Palace, but the entire mountain." Ye Tao's tone was cold and indifferent, but the evil spirit contained in it shocked everyone. Ye Tao was easy to talk to, but he could become the General Commander of the Northern Frontier and the Supreme Commander of the Northern Liao Dynasty. He is even now the Grand Commander of the Dongping Army. Even Tan Xiaopei was assigned by him in the battle. How many battles did he fight and how many battles he won along the way? This is definitely not something that a person with no iron blood can do. "It is enough to see this scene within a radius of hundreds of miles. The army with religion is fierce to fight, but once it grasps the key, it will disperse very quickly."

"Jingluo Ye, isn't such a tactic a bit risky? I think Your Majesty will not agree to you taking risks in person. Or should you assign a general, or we and you each have one, and you will be the main one?" asked the Lord Xiling.

"It's not impossible..." Ye Tao pondered for a moment: "There is no need to focus on us. If you want to be familiar with the terrain, your understanding of the place, and as convenient as possible for those who are being carried, I suggest that you focus on you. But this commander has very high requirements. I am not very familiar with the talents in the Xiling army, so I hope you can come and propose it."

After Ye Tao made such a statement, everyone continued to discuss. Since Dongping did not assume the main command responsibilities and was more of a liaison work, Ye Tao decided to let Dai Ting be the representative. After a series of discussions by the ministers of Xiling, the commander of the strange soldiers elected was also from the Xiling royal family. Yinbo, who was only 22 years old. Ye Tao had no objection to this. The Yin family gave him a good feeling and had a good grasp of the slight and heavy advancement and retreat. He was indeed a very ruling family. Although Yinbo was young, the young general was very calm and exchanged many precautions with Ye Tao. In a short time, he had already made some calculations about how to complete this extremely dangerous task. He just stated that he might find someone willing to help him in the enemy army. Ye Tao was not interested in listening to other information, so he did not need to explain it. Ye Tao was very interested in promoting such a young and promising general.
