Chapter 875: Chaotic Battle
"How did this battle come to this!" X2
Although they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Wang Shu and Qin Kai sighed in unison.
Coincidentally, both of them plan to use the trick of luring the snake out of the hole to break the enemy. Of course, luring the snake out of the hole is not just talking, it requires careful arrangement and precise command, otherwise it is easy to be self-defeating.
Three days later, Wang Shu sent his army to carry out a carpet search, eager to dig through the rat nests.
A large number of troops went out, which naturally led to the relative emptiness of the city's defenses. Wang Shu planned to deliberately sell a flaw to lure Qin Kai to take the initiative to show up.
In fact, the people who were sent out to search were all second-line troops, and the real elites were secretly lurking, and the elites of hundreds of thousands of main combat regiments were ready to fight at any time, ready to launch a fatal blow to the enemy.
And Qin Kai also had the idea of luring the snake out of the hole. More than 100,000 troops were dispatched, deliberately revealing flaws, intending to divert the enemy's main force, and then launch a thunderous blow while the enemy's garrison was weak.
The ideas of both sides are quite beautiful, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and under the superposition of various coincidental factors, the situation has exceeded everyone's control!
The timing of the actions of the two sides was very clever, Wang Shu thought that the bait troops sent by Qin Kai were the snakes that were lured out, and Qin Kai also thought that the enemy's large-scale mobilization of troops was caused by the decoy troops.
Both sides rejoiced at the same time, and then began to plan the next step.
Wang Shu hurriedly stepped up, and hundreds of thousands of elite main forces rushed directly to the decoy troops sent by Qin Kai, and at the same time ordered the surrounding regular troops to assemble quickly, preparing to cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the enemy army.
And Qin Kai was also overjoyed when he saw the enemy's "dang", and sent 400,000 real main forces to attack the empty Xinyue City!
Strategically speaking, Qin Kai is still a step ahead of Wang Shuji. After all, Qin Kai achieved the goal of diverting the enemy's main force, and Wang Shu only surrounded more than 100,000 second-line decoy troops with weak combat strength. Of course, this weak combat power is also relatively speaking, and it can be called elite among any other forces.
If the plot ends like this, then Wang Shu may really lose in this contest. Although it will not lose all the games, but let Qin Kai occupy a huge city, have a foothold, with the ability of the Heavenly Soldier Group, he will definitely quickly form a large number of servant armies, and it will be difficult to destroy them!
At the critical moment, Qin Ping, who stayed in Xinyue City, showed his skills. The second-line troops that had been dispersed earlier were urgently withdrawn. With more than 100,000 troops stationed in Xinyue City as the core, supplemented by nearly one million second-line search troops, it successfully resisted Qin Kai's attack.
It's not right to say this, strictly speaking, Qin Ping didn't block Qin Kai. But Qin Kai also did not occupy Xinyue City.
Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, Qin Ping decisively gave up the outer city to shrink his troops when the outer city walls could not be defended, and fought a street battle with Qin Kai's army!
Although Qin Ping's choice was a helpless move in an emergency, it was precisely aimed at Qin Kaijun's death hole.
The Heavenly Soldier Group has not many troops scattered in the rear, and it adds up to a million. At first, nearly 100,000 were wiped out piecemeal, and later Wang Shu came back to preside over the encirclement and suppression work, and more than 100,000 were eliminated.
By the time Qin Kai was sent to the rear to preside over the overall situation, the remaining army was already less than 700,000. Also branched in all corners. In the end, Qin Kai only collected more than 500,000 people.
In order to carry out the plan to lure the snake out of the hole, more than 100,000 people were sent out. Qin Kai could only use it to attack Xinyue City about 400,000.
This number seems like a lot, but Xinyue City, as a giant city, has a vast area, with houses and streets lined up one after another, and various streets and alleys are intricate.
In the frontal offensive and defensive battle at the beginning, the second-line Pingzhou Army troops that had been temporarily retracted faced the elite Qin Kai army, and they did not last long before they were defeated.
But after turning to street fighting, the Pingzhou Army relied on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain and the advantage of troops, and stubbornly dragged down the enemy's footsteps.
Although there were heavy casualties, more than 80% of the area of Xinyue City had been controlled by Qin Kai's army, but the core 20% was firmly controlled by Qin Ping. Moreover, as the area occupied by Qin Kai's army became more extensive, the more stretched the troops became, and the slower the advance speed naturally became.
Of course, if it continued, it was only a matter of time before Xinyue City was lost, and Qin Ping's stubborn resistance would not last long!
However, the real fatal point is here - Qin Kai doesn't have much time!
As soon as Qin Kai's army appeared within the scope of Xinyue City, Qin Ping reported the news to Wang Shu.
And Wang Shu also realized that he had been tricked at the first time, and under the shame and indignation, Wang Shu handed over the 100,000 bait army surrounded by the regiments to Gongsun Du, Wang Yun, Wu Jing and others to deal with, and he himself led Lilis, Tizok, Alex and other main generals to lead hundreds of thousands of elite main forces to rescue Xinyue City quickly.
Qin Ping gritted his teeth and defended the core area of the inner city with huge casualties, precisely because he knew that Wang Shu would lead his troops to Xinyue City in a few days.
If Wang Shu can survive until he arrives in Xinyue City, the situation will definitely be reversed, and Qin Kai's army will be trapped and killed in Xinyue City.
On the other hand, the Qin Ping army can completely conquer Xinyue City before Wang Shu arrives, activate the various functions of Xinyue City, and Xinyue City will probably become a nail, which will restrain the energy of the Pingzhou army to the death, so that the rear cannot effectively support the front line, and create favorable conditions for Wu Qi and Le Yi to win.
What Qin Ping and Wang Shu can see, Qin Kai can naturally see as well.
Now there are only two ways in front of Qin Kai, one is to make a decision immediately and retreat. Taking advantage of the fact that the elite main force led by Wang Shu had not yet arrived, he immediately withdrew from Xinyue City and continued to lurk, looking for an opportunity. The second is to fight hard and try your best to take Xinyue City before Wang Shu arrives!
The former is more conservative and does not have the worry of annihilation, but it loses a great opportunity. The latter is more radical, and if it wins, everything will be fine, but if it loses, it will really be a hundred times.
Regarding the current situation, Qin Kai was also a little undecided. Now it is natural and simple to go, and if Qin Ping is given three more dares, he will not dare to lead a group of remnants of the defeated generals to pursue.
But what happens when you're gone? was able to hide Wang Shu's investigation one after another, relying on his talent to hide from the sky and the sea. But this kind of talent can't be used if you want to! It requires careful layout, a lot of preliminary work, and certain geographical conditions.
Qin Kai was sure that Wang Shu would definitely not give him another chance this time. After leaving, you have to fight a real guerrilla war!
really started guerrilla warfare, even Qin Kai didn't have the confidence to persist in Wang Shu's iron bucket encirclement and suppression. After all, Wang Shu's military advantage is too great.
Including auxiliary troops, Wang Shu can mobilize more than 10 million troops, including 2 million front-line combat troops and 500,000 high-level special troops. Even if Qin Kai had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult to parry.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Kai waved his hand fiercely: "Let's go, go to the front line with the general to see the situation, and make a decision after determining the situation!" ”
The adjutant general nodded hurriedly, even if he retreated, he was not in a hurry, Wang Shu's rescue force was still far away, and he couldn't catch up for a while.
