Chapter 627: Cruel Methods
War gradually turned into a confrontation of wills. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Whoever is the first to show fatigue, even a hint of timidity, will lose.
Fortunately, the Eastern Route Army has an experienced god general in charge, who can adjust the combat strategy in time according to the battlefield situation. After Zheng He fine-tuned the artillery and other departments, he then issued a military order: "Vice General Pei!" ā
"The last general!"
"You take the personal guards, the reserves, and two thousand sword and shield soldiers, and suddenly insert them from the two wings, and you must strike a blow and completely crush the enemy's will to war, understand?" Zheng He pressed all the troops that could be used and took the initiative to attack.
"No!"
Pei Donglai was already convinced of the governor Zheng He.
"Remember, you only have half an hour." Zheng He's expression was not relaxed at all. The entire Eastern Route Army will have a tight string that may break at any time.
"Understood!" Pei Donglai turned around and left.
Five minutes later, the various divisions were assembled, and like two sharp arrows, they suddenly rushed out of the position, from the left and right sides, and inserted into the two ribs of the Inhuman Legion.
Because of the limited time, Pei Donglai led the troops and fought very fiercely and resolutely. Zheng He, who commanded in the center, commanded archers, artillery, and firecrackers, cooperating and covering.
In the face of the surprise attack on both flanks, the Inhuman Legion was really in disarray. In the final analysis, this is just a group of adventure players, basically all of them are on the battlefield for the first time, and they have been able to support it until now, all thanks to their enthusiasm.
In terms of tactical execution, the Inhuman Legion can't even match a new recruit.
Both flanks were attacked, and the attack in the middle was again and again blocked. The enemy position in front of him was like a devil, constantly devouring the lives of his comrades, but he did not have the slightest fatigue and stood tall.
Pessimism and despair began to spread among the army, and casualties increased exponentially.
In this way, morale drops to freezing point.
"Withdraw!" It was proposed.
If we continue to resist, we will only increase the senseless sacrifice.
"Withdraw!"
Tears in the corners of the player's eyes slowly withdraw from the battlefield.
This time, they didn't leave the battlefield out of fear. They are not deserters, but they can't see the dawn of victory, so they can only retreat strategically, retreat to Fengshan County, and then make calculations.
No one can criticize such an army.
"You've done enough!"
"Welcome back our heroes!"
Countless female compatriots gave applause, praise and hugs to the withdrawn fighters.
The will of the Star Kingdom is far from being destroyed.
It's just that the two fiascos in a row have been a serious blow to the confidence of Star Country players. The war ended, and nearly half of the combat professional players in the Star Kingdom were completely buried on the battlefield.
Of the 40,000 Inhuman legions, less than 10,000 have returned alive.
A tragic meaning hovered over Fengshan County and could not be dispersed for a long time.
In this way, the player's resentment towards the [Temasek Mercenary Group] is naturally even worse. The accusations against the Temasek Mercenaries at the forum were even stronger than the accusations against Shanhai City.
In Fengshan County, there are all kinds of negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, and sadness. It was in such a mood that Chen Guang led the elite group of Temasek Mercenaries to Fengshan County.
When I got the news, the whole city was in a stir!
Temasek Mercenary Group is an elite player with 50,000 combat professional players and more than 10,000 life professional players, exceeding the number of players in the previous two times combined.
Those who remained in the Lion City had less than 3,000 reserves.
In this way, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating.
No one can blame the Temasek Mercenary Group.
In Fengshan County, there was once again a warm meaning, and the previous pessimism was swept away.
As an empire in the hearts of Star Country players, the [Temasek Mercenary Group] is an invincible and invincible existence in the eyes of Star Kingdom players. Even if it is the lord of Fengshan County, he will be a little shorter when he sees Chen Guang.
Without any obstacles, Chen Guang smoothly took over the command of the Inhuman Legion.
In Chen Guang's heart, there was no trace of pride.
From the mouth of the lord of Fengshan County, Chen Guang obtained a detailed front-line battle report, and after listening to it, the whole person was silent. The strength and tenacity of the enemy army were completely beyond his expectations.
Chen Guang climbed the city wall and looked at the black enemy position outside the city, his face twitched. In less than an hour, the position of the Eastern Route Army has taken on a new look.
The entire position was enclosed in a huge arc.
Along the arc-shaped heights, a hundred guns were lined up one after another, and the cold muzzles were terrifying. The most important thing is that there are still people on the position who are constantly busy and continue to strengthen the fortress.
Chen Guang is not an ordinary player and will never be impulsive. Rushing out of the city to attack such a position is simply to send it to death. The huge arc, like a large mouth, can devour all incoming enemies.
It's like the enemy has dug a hole and is waiting for the Star Nation player to jump into it.
Therefore, Chen Guang made up his mind to defend the city and never take the initiative to attack. In this way, the Star Kingdom is invincible, and once the enemy army cannot supply materials, it will naturally be self-defeating.
I have to say that Chen Guang has a good calculation.
************
At noon, the position of the Eastern Route Army.
"Whew!"
Seeing the enemy withdrawing, a hint of relief flashed on Zheng He's fair face. In this confrontation of war wills, under his ingenious arrangement, the Eastern Route Army won a complete victory.
As a result, the Eastern Route Army gained a rare respite.
hot artillery, get rest; The newly transported artillery can also be deployed on the high ground in time.
By the end of the war, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
As the winner, Zheng He ordered the sailors to rush to the battlefield and take back all the weapons, armor and other items left by the Inhuman Legion. What's more, recover as many arrows as possible.
As for the soldiers, they should seize the time, rest and adjust, and replenish some energy by the way.
The positions destroyed by the Inhuman Legion have been repaired at an alarming rate. The Star Kingdom players on the city wall could only watch the enemy army on the opposite side, recovering step by step.
By the time Chen Guang and his troops arrived, everything was over.
"Damn it!" Some people hate it, but they can't do anything about it.
In fact, the Eastern Route Army did much more than that.
Taking this opportunity, the Eastern Route Army led by Zheng He not only successfully established stronger fortifications, but also sent troops to start searching for food and materials in the villages outside the city.
Some of the aboriginal strong men in the village were also recruited to the battlefield by the army to assist the army and continue to strengthen the fortifications, such as digging trenches, making horses, and so on.
The whole fortification is getting better and better.
Some particularly strong men were even asked by Zheng He to put on armor collected from the battlefield, pick up spears, and form a servant army.
For the peasant, there is no difference between a national war and a lord's war. Their purpose is nothing more than survival, and they can compromise anything in the face of survival.
After all, they are not sergeants.
Therefore, the formation of the servant army is extremely smooth, but its combat effectiveness is really worrying, and I am afraid that it cannot even compare with the Inhuman army on the opposite side.
Zheng He naturally did not expect the servant army to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he formed the servant army, but in fact, he had another purpose.
In addition, mixed with the strong men, there are also some Star Kingdom adventure players. These players are either fighting monsters in the wilderness or doing tasks in the villages, and are all brought back to the camp by the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army.
They have suffered unjustified calamities.
Among the players, there are both combat pro players and life pro players.
Throughout the afternoon, the Eastern Route Army moved from village to village. In this way, a total of more than 3,000 people were recruited and transferred to labor, more than 2,000 servant troops were formed, and more than 200 players were captured.
It's a lot to learn.
The entire territory, except for Fengshan County, has become the territory of the Eastern Route Army, which gallops at will.
Regarding the "atrocities" of the East Route Army, the players in Fengshan County were stunned and excited. If it weren't for Chen Guang's intervention, they would have rushed out of the city gate and fought to the death with the Eastern Route Army again.
Chen Guang was also so angry that he couldn't do it. Intellectually, he knew in his heart that the enemy was doing this in order to lure them out to a decisive battle. But emotionally, it's still very angry.
It was unbearable to see the Star Nation compatriots, especially the players, being driven into a captive camp and being abused.
The hatred between the two sides is accumulating deeper and deeper.
ā¦ā¦
The Star Kingdom players were angry, and Zheng He was not happy.
Zheng He didn't expect that the new Inhuman Legion would be so calm, no matter how he provoked, the other party would not move, and he was determined to defend to the end. Storming Fengshan County, Zheng He was not sure of winning. In this way, he is in charge of the task of containing the Inhuman Legion, and I am afraid that it will fail.
Thinking that the prince was still waiting for his good news, Zheng He was worried. Seeing that the sun was sinking in the west and the first day was about to end, Zheng He could no longer remain calm.
"Governor, there will be a plan in the end." Pei Donglai said suddenly, "It's just that this plan hurts Tianhe." ā
"Speak quickly!" Zheng He said urgently.
"Didn't we capture a bunch of Inhumans? The last general thought that if he brought all these strangers to the front of the position, they would be executed one by one. Then threaten the enemy and execute one person every ten minutes. Pei Donglai said in a cold voice, "The last general doesn't believe it, and the enemy can still calm down." ā
āā¦ā¦ā
When Zheng He heard this, his face twitched, and he was speechless for a long time. Fundamentally, Zheng He is not a qualified general, because his heart is not ruthless enough.
Historically, Zheng Heke was a messenger of peace.
If the main general at this time is Bai Qi, or even Han Xin and other generals, I am afraid that they will not say a word, and directly adopt Pei Donglai's suggestion.
But Zheng He can't.
If it weren't for the previous attack on Annan, Ouyang Shuo gave Zheng He a vivid on-site war lesson. It is even said that if he attacks the Star Kingdom now, Zheng He will have psychological obstacles.
Now it is really difficult for some strong people to ask him to give the order to strangle the prisoners of war one by one.
"Let me think about it." Zheng He spoke with difficulty.
"Governor, we can't delay any longer!" Pei Donglai was a little anxious in his eyes, "If it drags on any longer, it will definitely affect the trend of the entire war." In this case, how can we explain to the prince?! ā
Pei Donglai's words made Zheng He's heart tremble.
After a while, Zheng He said in a silent voice: "In this case, leave this matter to the general!" ā
"The last general commands!" Pei Donglai was decisive.
