Chapter 272: The Trapped Beast Fights

The battle of Uyanbaatar fell into a stalemate from the beginning, on the battlefield of Fang Yuan for more than ten miles, the snow had already been trampled by the soldiers of both sides without a trace, and the mud with red blood stains was frozen hard after a night, but the color was particularly dazzling compared to the white outside the battlefield.

After several days of fighting, no one on both sides could take advantage, and the Dingzhou soldiers were numerous and well-armed, especially long-range weapons, which suppressed the wolf running army so much that they could not raise their heads, and they often had to pay a great price before they could engage the other party. Uyanbaatar, the first of the two generals, used trebuchets for sieges, and ballistas for field battles.

Temporary changes on the battlefield, command skills, Hu He is indeed far above Lu Dalin, often Lu Dalin just exposed a flaw, or when he is about to reveal a flaw, Hu He can accurately grasp it, and give a targeted blow, and Lu Dalin After suffering a few losses, he changed his strategy, fought steadily, let you Hu He expose a thousand flaws, bury thousands of traps, I only have one way to deal with it, that is, the army is like Mount Tai to press, to clumsy and clumsy. Don't be greedy, don't take shortcuts, and compress the opponent's living space step by step. The current Lu Dalin has this capital.

Under Lu Dalin's seemingly extremely stupid style of play, Hu He was also helpless. Compared with the combat power of the two sides, the 40,000 soldiers of the wolf running cavalry are indeed stronger than the cavalry of the Dingzhou army, and on the side of the Dingzhou army, there are only the whirlwind battalion and the Changsheng battalion, the two battalions of flag soldiers can compete with it, but in terms of foot soldiers, the Dingzhou soldiers have won too much, even if they are riding on foot, the Dingzhou soldiers are not lagging behind.

After discovering this fact, Lü Dalin quickly made a change, and all the soldiers on the left flank, led by Wang Qinian's Tianlei Battalion, were transferred to the central battlefield, supplemented by the 20,000 cavalry of Lü's division, to fight against Huhe's wolf run, while the other more than 10,000 cavalry of Lü's division were transferred to the left flank.

The Wolf Ben Army is divided into three camps, and in the middle is Huhe's Chinese army, where more than 30,000 main forces of the Wolf Ben are gathered, and the left and right battalions are a few miles away from each other to lead the army of Nokia and Haoge, and the three armies are each other's horns, responding to each other, and containing each other's attacks. But since the start of the war, Lü Dalin has not launched any major attacks on the two flanks at all, but only ordered Wang Qinian and Yang to target the opponent, while his Chinese army aimed at Hu He's Chinese army and attacked with all his might. This unreasonable and arrogant style of play made Hu He uncomfortable, and he could only fight with all his strength, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Nokia and Haoge are also very bearable, in front of them is the famous whirlwind battalion in the Dingzhou army, the Changsheng battalion, these two cavalry even against the dragon howling wolf run will not fall behind, and in their hands, there are only thousands of wolf run as the backbone of the ragtag army, not to mention their sophisticated equipment, sometimes look at the other party's excellent iron armor, expensive hand crossbow (in the grassland, even if the wolf run, it is impossible for every soldier to be equipped with a hand crossbow), and then look at the miscellaneous army under their command, they can have a leather armor is good. Nokia couldn't help but feel a sadness from the bottom of his heart, how can this battle be fought, as Hu Shuai said, when we faced the Dingzhou army, there was only a spirit of blood and fearlessness of death.

Several encounters, can not break through the blockade of the Changsheng battalion, in fact, there is no breakthrough at all, but the other party does not use all his strength at all, but firmly blocks himself on the side of the battlefield, so that he can not form a strong support for the tiger handsome, and he does not dare to throw alone, because on the side of the Changsheng battalion, there is also Yang Yidao's selection battalion, if he throws alone, even if he breaks through the blockade of the Changsheng battalion, there is a great possibility of losing the left battalion, and the gains outweigh the losses.

On the other side, Hauge faced the same problem. The thousands of wolf troops in his hands only let out to stabilize the battlefield situation and maintain the balance of power between the two sides when the front could not withstand it, he did not dare to let the wolf army pour out, once the thousands of wolf troops in his hands lost too much, the opponent's army pressed over, and the 20,000 miscellaneous troops in his hands could not resist the impact of the other party.

Looking at the dense chariot of the other party that appeared in his field of vision, Hauge's scalp was numb, he was not afraid of hedging and slashing with the enemy cavalry, but he hated this way of playing the Dingzhou army, the foot soldiers used the chariot as a cover, opened the way with bows and crossbows, approached step by step, the cavalry swam on both sides, you showed a little flaw, he pounced like a mad dog, tore off a piece of your flesh, and when you gathered strength to hedge with him, he shrank to the side of the infantry.

How to break the chariot phalanx of the opponent's foot soldiers, Hauge didn't think of a move if he wanted to break his head, if he had enough large weapons in his hand, as sharp as the Eight Bull Crossbow, maybe he could still try, but now, except to fill it with human lives, there is no way at all. And what the grassland lacks most now is human life. Even if you break through these pawns in front of you, you can't change the passivity of the war at all.

Nokia and Haoge were at a loss, watching Lu Dalin concentrate his superior forces for a long time, eating away at the Chinese army little by little.

Lu Dalin is now fighting with Huhe.

It began to snow again, and Lu Dalin was very happy, the more extreme the weather, the more it would highlight Dingzhou's huge advantage in terms of materials compared with the other party. Hu He thought that the logistics supply line of hundreds of miles would cause great difficulties to the state army, but it was a big mistake, for this winter operation, the Dingzhou army has been preparing for too long, all kinds of emergencies have been considered extremely thoughtfully, and the emergency plan formulated in advance has minimized the impact of this kind of thing. Behind them, tens of thousands of people were mobilized to send urgently needed materials to the front line, in the words of the marshal, Dingzhou wants to fight a national war, soldiers are on the front line against the enemy, and the people must also mobilize to support the front line, of course, the Dingzhou state government will pay a certain amount of remuneration for these people, although the remuneration is not much, but the grievances between Dingzhou and the barbarians for hundreds of years have made the people of Dingzhou enthusiastic, and there are endless crowds of people from Dingzhou to send all kinds of things.

Looking at a strange-shaped guy in front of him, well, the handsome called him a sleigh car, no wheels, in fact, the Dingzhou craftsman battalion has solved the bearing problem of the car, and now the carriage or other vehicles in Dingzhou have greatly improved the transportation efficiency, but in the snow, this thing is indeed much more useful than the carriage. The polished smooth bottom plate ran up on the snow without much effort, which made Lu Dalin, who was observing the scene, amazed, the head of the handsome man is always full of these strange things, with this sleigh car, whether it is to let the livestock pull the car, or purely use manpower, it is much more labor-saving and much faster.

When the sleigh cart came, it was full of supplies, and it was not empty when it went back, and the remains of the soldiers and wounded soldiers who died in the war will also be transported back to Dingzhou with these sled cars, although now each battalion of the Dingzhou army is equipped with a military doctor, and the entire army is equipped with a medical battalion, but on the front line, the conditions are always much worse than Dingzhou, as long as the wounded can withstand the long journey are transported back to Dingzhou, after these wounded soldiers recover, as long as they can still step on the battlefield, they will become the backbone of the Dingzhou army in the future, This is a consciousness that Li Qing instilled in his generals after taking power, and after several years of fighting, Lu Dalin and others have really realized this, the soldiers who have returned from injury have not only greatly improved their combat skills, but also far stronger than before in terms of ferocity.

The fierce battle between the two sides has also brought great losses to the Dingzhou army, and there are thousands of soldiers alone, plus the wounded, the 100,000 Dingzhou army has lost more than 10,000 people, but Lu Dalin believes that the price paid by Hu He will not be lower than his own, and these he can afford it, but Hu He can't afford it.

Will Hu He choose to retire? Lu Dalin weighed it repeatedly in his heart, if he retreated, then Guan Xinglong, whom he had sent out earlier, would play a great role, but what if Hu He didn't withdraw his troops and chose to forcibly support him here? Lu Dalin felt a faint sorrow in his heart, Guan Xinglong's military resources with the army could not support him for long, and it was impossible for him to replenish him, how would he deal with this situation!

"We must not retreat!" Hu He flatly rejected the advice of his generals.

"We have no way back!" Hu He sat behind the big case, and said categorically: "If we retreat, we will put these 100,000 enemy troops into the grassland, we can retreat there, we can only retreat to the royal court, and the result of retreating to the royal court is to directly burn the flames of war to the royal court, and now His Majesty the Emperor is concentrating all his strength to deal with the Murwei people, if we lead this enemy away, have you thought about what the consequences are?" Now that His Majesty the Emperor has beaten the Murwei people to the point where they have no power to fight back, as soon as we retreat, we will ease the enemy's breath and allow the two enemies to merge. Then all our plans will be frustrated, and we will be surrounded in the royal city. If that is the case, how far are we from destruction? ”

"But Hu Shuai, if we don't retreat, we won't be far from destruction!" A general stood up excitedly, "Hu Shuai, did you hear that?" In our large battalion, the wounded soldiers are wailing and untreated, they are dying in agony, our swords are cut but not replenished, the feathered arrows in our quiver are seriously insufficient, our food and grass are no longer enough to feed the soldiers, our war horses have become languished because of lack of food, how can we still hold on! ”

Hu He stood up and said sensen: "If there is no food, we will kill the horses, and if the wounded soldiers can't get better, we will give them a good time." The knife is broken, the arrow is gone, and we still have two hands. In short, we must stay in Uyanbaatar until His Majesty the Emperor comes to our rescue, or we are perished here! ”

The generals looked at Hu He in shock, confirming that Hu He was indeed talking about this seriously, and they were all a little stunned, killing horses? In the past, this was something that I didn't even have to think about.

Overnight, rows of fences were erected in front of Huhe's camp, and between the fences were filled with earth and watered, and a shiny wall of ice appeared in front of the camp, and behind this ice wall, more earth ramparts were being built by soldiers frantically. Seeing all this, Lu Dalin and Shang Haibo glanced at each other, Hu He was about to fight the trapped beasts, and he had no intention of retreating at all.

"Mr. Shang, where is Guan Xinglong, do you want him to withdraw? There was no point in him staying in Monrou. Lu Dalin asked.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "General Lu, instead of letting him retreat, it's better to let him fight out." ”
