Chapter 484
Another ten thousand people... Seeing Gao Senqi so crazy and wanting to go down, Ye Tao shook his head. Gao Senqi was anxious after all. For the Blood Qi Army, although the pressure on the entire front was greatly increased, the front was still very stable. The officers at all levels on the front were very sensitive to the adjustment of troops and invested in them, and tried every means to defend the front with small-scale forces. Due to the proper dispatch, there were actually more soldiers resting than Ye Tao expected. In this close-range melee, the Blood Qi Army's superb combat ability was fully demonstrated. Although the barriers outside the camp were not very high, with the help of
The layers of large stairs formed by the mountain have become very beneficial to the Blood Ki army in defense. Seeing this advantage, Sun Bo, who is now wearing light armor, assisting and coordinating the front line command, even ordered to give up the outermost battalion and put the enemy in a little. The light infantrymen were divided into groups to support and protect each other, while the soldiers of the guard battalion who were involved in the battle formed groups according to their respective habits. The light infantry soldiers were given priority to maintaining the front line to ensure that the enemy did not rush through their defense to threaten the archers on the second and third battalions, while the soldiers of the guard battalion fully utilized their combat power to strangle the enemy's elite troops.
Zheluo, who stayed on the second-level camp, killed the enemy officers and the seemingly powerful individual soldiers, assisted and commanded the archers to shoot the enemy smoothly. There were not many archers of Zheluo's level in the world. It was not difficult for him to stand there to shoot arrows at a certain distance. On this fierce battlefield, he was still leisurely playing with archery. A series of pearl arrows and twelve branches directly nailed a row of Northern Liao soldiers to the ground. If it weren't for a light infantry from his side who picked it out and blocked his shooting line, he had to raise his hand and emptied an arrow temporarily, and the twelve arrows would have directly solved a dozen enemies. There were also masters in the Longbow Camp, and some of them had the intention of competing with Zheluo, but seeing Zheluo's amazing performance, they could only remain silent and make up their minds to go back and practice.
The opponent was allowed to enter the front line, which allowed the Changbow Battalion to fully exert its firepower, but it seemed that the Northern Liao side saw hope of breaking through the defense of the Blood Qi army. But Gao Senqi still felt something was wrong. A little later, he felt that the feedback on the front line was not right. The progress made was exactly the same when investing 10,000 people and not investing 10,000 people. The Blood Qi army still defended their offensive on the spot, but did not launch a very powerful counterattack, trying to expel them from the camp. Since the Northern Liao side had not yet seen the renovation and rotation of the Blood Qi army in the night battle, they had not yet discovered the strangeness.
Kanazawa personally led the soldiers of the guards to fight on the front line, and there was good news from the rear. Now everyone is full of morale and has no worries. The combat effectiveness he has shown is extremely amazing. Ye Tao has received a detailed battle report from the scout at this time and learned that Zou Shuangwen will come here as soon as possible to meet Ye Tao and discuss the next combat plan.
After thinking about it carefully, Ye Tao said, "Don't let Zou Shuangwen come here. I will leave these airship teams in Danyang here and start harassing and attacking the enemy tomorrow. It turns out that those flying teams all followed Zou Shuangwen and found ways to cross the river and penetrate straight to the back of the opponent as soon as possible. Here... I should be able to hold on for more than two days. What kind of results can be achieved depends on whether Lao Zou moves fast enough."
Liu Yong also agreed with Ye Tao's view that the Northern Liao army could not always maintain such attack intensity. They had already rotated at least half of the troops in one day, and they had not repaired them before the attack. Including the previous marches, the entire army had already tightened their strings. Once they could not continue to attack, the two sides would soon fall into a stalemate. In fact, what Ye Tao said was that he could last for two days was very conservative. Liu Yong felt that the Northern Liao army could continue to attack until dawn, which was already Gao Senqi's extremely powerful control of the army. The Western Route Army was indeed one of the strongest troops in the Northern Liao country. It seems that under the rapid growth of Dongping, the Northern Liao army had at least made great progress in the Western Route Army. If Liu Yong was still in command of the Great Inner Guards, the Northern Liao army would never have such endurance in this kind of attack.
"At dawn, remove the guard camp. It will be almost done if the renovated heavy infantry is put into half. The front is enough to stabilize. Persist until the other party retreats. Sir, try to keep more mobile troops. If you are wrong, whether the other party finds Xiangning City captured or Governor Zou inserted behind enemy lines, they may have to escape. Heavy infantry...the pursuit is not a strong point." said a staff officer.
Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then that's what you do."
Gao Senqi did not have such calmness at this time. He crossed the river and came to the front line to observe it, and felt that the situation was wrong. The soldiers of the Blood Qi Army were certainly tired, but the Northern Liao army was the same, and they had to bear huge psychological pressure. When they attacked the Blood Qi Army's camp again and again and again, this deep fear and depressedness was not encouraged by the officers, or even Gao Senqi's inspection could solve it. Gao Senqi watched the Blood Qi Army's front remain motionless, and organized another enhanced assault of 200 people on the spot to observe the Blood Qi Army's mobilization with his own eyes. He saw Kanze, Zheluo, and several other guards whom he had met. Gao Senqi sighed and said, "Go back. It seems that there is no hope today."
Back at the command tent, Zhang Lixian heard Gao Senqi say that the soldiers from the guard camp were involved in the battle and said in confusion: "Major General, these should be Ye Tao's personal bodyguards? Even the personal bodyguards have been thrown in. Then we can take it down even more if we work harder, can't we take it down? What did you say..."
"You don't know Ye Tao. He is not the kind of person who only cares about himself at the most dangerous moment. He is in the Blood Qi Army, and in the Blood Qi Army, at least he must not have the inner supporters of our Northern Liao Dynasty, right? Even if there is, relying on Liu Yong alone, who can assassinate him? The guards are not around, and there is no difference. He can naturally regard it as a major combat power of this battle. When he sees the soldiers of the Blood Qi Army in an orderly manner, he is not panic. They give up the front line of camps, and they also
It's just to kill our army faster. Look at what advantages we have gained after we broke through. We don't care about the gains and losses, but focus on annihilation and attack. This is also the style of Ye Tao, the Blood Qi Army and the Yunzhou army. Moreover, if it's really urgent, why don't the heavy infantry come up and go to the guard camp instead? Ye Tao has already considered the rotation of combat power. With such a backup plan, you won't have any progress in at least a few hours. Look, how long can our children last?"
Zhang Lixian sighed, "What do you mean by Major General?"
"Retreat. The floating bridge is ready, you can rush up at any time. Retreat, everyone adjust it, select elite soldiers from each army, and form an elite suicide camp with at least 2,000 people. Tomorrow, first use the new force to slap the spirit of the Blood Kid, test its reaction, and then see if the suicide camp can open a deep enough gap. As long as it can break the frontier of the Blood Kid, form a melee, and make their longbowmen unable to exert their power, we still have a chance." Gao Senqi ordered coldly.
"Yes, Major General." Zhang Lixian also felt that this was a good idea, so he finally waved his hand and ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Seeing the Northern Liao army slowly retreating, leaving only a few simple small bunkers built with layers of branches and arson fabric on the river beach, the Blood Qi army breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers quickly took turns to rest, and the entire front of the battlefield was temporarily handed over to the guard camp for alert and observation. The entire camp quickly fell into snoring.
In the Northern Liao Dynasty, many generals who led the troops were relieved. After the battle this day, the Blood Qi Army really scared them. From the beginning, they had no idea about the combat power of the Blood Qi Army, they had only heard and imagined that they had a painful pain. The turning point between them was really too big. The Blood Qi Army was really strong, even stronger than they had expected. What was even more terrifying was that no matter how much they observed, the Blood Qi Army should have suffered more than 30% of the casualties, but their morale was as old as before. Not to mention the collapse, they didn't even think that they had any decline in morale. This was so scary. Could it be that the Blood Qi Army was a group of emotionally unaffected iron men?
When the battle is temporarily stopped, and both sides are so tired that they don’t have the strength to move, everyone dare not slacken. Although Gao Senqi is selecting elite troops and preparing to make another effort, Ye Tao also counted the various losses of the Blood Kid Army in this day with the officers overnight, and was still doing various preparations. Piles of turbulent bombs were moved to the platform, and the crossbows were recalibrated one by one, and the arrows and other items stored in the rear of the camp must be redistributed... The injured soldiers must deal with it in time so that the small wounds will not endanger their lives. Although Ye Tao attaches great importance to the medical construction of the army, he is not able to produce antibiotics for the time being, and infection is still the most important threat. Fortunately, the various drugs stockpiled by the Blood Kid Army are very sufficient.
The next morning, the Blood Qi army was ready for various combat preparations. The soldiers quietly entered the position and sat down one by one in the battle position, waiting for another day of fierce battle today to come. Gao Senqi also discovered the group of airships staying above the Blood Qi army camp. Looking at the reinforcements coming from the sky, Gao Senqi sighed. He hoped that they were really from afar, not those who had retreated from Xiangning's battlefield.
