Chapter 1171: Lessons
Listening to Liu Rufeng's words, Xuan Bao and You Yong glanced at each other, and shocked expressions appeared on their faces.
Originally, I thought that only two or three thousand people had been sacrificed, but I didn't expect it to be 30,000 people! Xuan Bao looked at Liu Rufeng and said, "How many corpse soldiers have died in total?"
Liu Rufeng sighed and said: "The corpse soldiers of the other two gates are all harassing battles, and they don't attack when they can't enter the gate, but they just contain the heavenly soldiers, so the battle is not very intense, the casualties are about 5,000 people, and the heavenly soldiers have no casualties." ”
In other words, one corpse soldier exchanged the lives of two mortal soldiers! This battle was indeed a bit of a nest, and the Xuanbing, who was accustomed to fighting big with small in Jiangnan, was planted this time and suffered a heavy blow!
But if you think about it carefully, this battle can only be fought like this! Fierce Tiger's strategy is to break one door, as long as there is a breakthrough, it will be the capture of Yuezhou City!
At that time, in that situation, the heavenly soldiers could only rush over, otherwise all the soldiers could not arrive in time, and even if they did, they would not be able to resist, because the equipment defending the city should have been concentrated at the West Gate!
Therefore, Liu Rufeng's contingency plan is right, if it is replaced by Xuanbao, he will do the same! It's just that in this way, the pressure on Ximen will be greater, and 50,000 mortal soldiers will have an advantage in terms of numbers, but in terms of combat power, it is a real disadvantage!
"Ximen's battle, whose credit is it?" Xuan Bao looked at Ao Yi and the others.
Ao Yi was stunned for a moment, the emperor said the word credit, which means that he has seen the difficulty of this battle, and also knows that the casualties of these 30,000 people are reasonable, his heart is wide, he stretched out his hand to the back, pushed one person to the front, and said to Xuanbao: "Thanks to this guy, otherwise the entire army of Ximen will be wiped out, and he will not be able to hold it!"
Xuan Bao looked at this sloppy bearded man, and he was expected, and frowned and said to him: "Baishengzhi, if you are given two more days to prepare, it is still 50,000 Xuan soldiers against 40,000 corpse soldiers, how many casualties can you control?"
Bai Shengzhi said without hesitation: "Within 10,000! If you give me a week, I can let the Xuan army not kill a single person and wipe out all the corpse soldiers!"
As soon as I heard this answer, those who didn't know thought that this guy was blowing a conch and bragging, but Ao Yi and these people knew that he didn't say anything big, and he had this ability!
This guy seems to have been born to live to attack and defend the city! If it weren't for the fact that the Yin army was too weak back then, he wouldn't have lost Fengdian City!
Of course, Xuan Bao also knew this person's strength, nodded and said to him: "Okay, let's go and join the Western Route Army, and then fight in Kyoto, you will have full command!"
"This..." This puts him in the position of a general, and it is strange that he is not in a panic! It is not that he has never been a general in his life, but he is also a colonel general and the like, leading more than 10,000 soldiers, and now the emperor has promised that he will only have hundreds of thousands of people, so that he will not be frightened!
Xuanbao squinted at him and said, "What, shouldn't it?"
Yum laughed, arched his hand and said to Xuanbao: "The last general's order!"
Since the army was already gathering, Xuanbao did not let the middle route army enter the city, and directly turned around and went to the avenue, and when the army in the city came out, it would unite and immediately pursue the corpse soldiers who had retreated!
Yuezhou City was completely taken over by the Xuan Army, the Yuezhou prefect has been withdrawn, temporarily taken over by the military, leaving 10,000 Xuan Army, and the remaining 10,000 joined the Middle Route Army, plus 50,000 heavenly soldiers, and then set off mightily!
However, what made Guan Yuanguang depressed was that the original vanguard battalion had become the Chinese army, and the vanguard was replaced by the heavenly soldiers.
The 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers acted as the vanguard army, led by a group of True Dragon Warriors of Lu Wuwu and Yan Wujian, and they did not deliberately rush and walked at the same pace. This is also the speed at which a normal person has to trot, much faster than a corpse soldier.
Ao Yi specially prepared three carriages, one belonged to the command car, one was reserved for the queen and the imperial concubine, and the other was Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyin, brothers and sisters.
At this moment, Ao Yi and You Yong were sitting in the command car, looking at the map of Kyoto in front of them, and Xuan Bao sat on the side with his eyes closed and listened to Ya Wubian tell him about the battle situation in the past two days.
The Eastern Route Army fought a battle, which lasted for two days and two nights. Then Liehu knew that Yuezhou City could no longer be occupied, so he immediately withdrew his troops without any nostalgia, which was also his extraordinary ability!
It seems that the battle situation on the other side of the inner wilderness has also reached his ears, but what did he rely on to get the information? As an excellent general, the information will definitely not lag behind, even if Xuanbao asked the earth kite to kill the hidden bird, Yinhu and Liehu also have other ways to get information!
Xuan Bao lifted the sedan curtain, looked up at the sky, showed an imperceptible smile on his face, put his hand in his mouth, whistled, and the earth kite descended from the sky and stopped on the wheel.
"Find a way to get close to those things, they could be the messengers of the Fierce Tiger!" Xuan Bao stepped out of the carriage, stood on the wheel and pointed to the sky.
The earth kite looked up at the sky, with a look of disdain on his face, and said to Xuanbao: "Okay, I'll destroy them all now, in fact, I've been suspecting for the past two days, these guys have followed us all the way from the inner wilderness!"
Hovering in the sky is the eagle. In the past two days, eagles have been appearing overhead, and Xuanbao began to think that it was just normal predation, but now he suspected that they were specifically there to keep an eye on him.
To deal with someone like Liehu, you have to seal his eyes first, so that he can't see the movements of the Xuan soldiers, so that his deployment can be disrupted!
It is also very likely that his withdrawal was because he knew that a team of Xuan troops had taken a shortcut, so he would retreat immediately. Otherwise, the 40,000 corpse soldiers can be dragged on for another day, and it only takes one day to be able to break through the West City Gate!
There is only this fierce tiger around Yinhu, if this person is eliminated again, Yinhu will have no available generals, and when the time comes, defeating him will be like a bag!
The corpse soldiers had set out a day early, and according to their footsteps, they should not have reached the commercial road at this moment.
Xuan Bao looked at the map and said to Ao Yi: "The distance must be controlled for about half a day, it will be dangerous if it is too long!"
"Is the emperor afraid of corpse soldiers crossing the river?" You Yong asked as he looked at Xuan Bao.
Next to him, Ya Wubian shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be to cross the river, even if it is harassing the riverside town, it will be a big trouble! If it is a distance that can be reached in half a day, they will not dare to stop and do evil, so they can only run away desperately!"
"They can't run fast yet!" Xuan Bao smiled and said, "Don't look at the speed of mortals, but compared to the heavenly soldiers, it is far behind! And no horse can withstand the yin qi on their bodies, so they will be caught up sooner or later! Not to mention that we still have a response in front of us!"
With a sneer on his face, Ao Yi said to Xuan Bao: "I don't know if I don't compare, putting the heavenly soldiers and the corpse soldiers together, it's simply a world of difference! The heavenly soldiers are all independent individuals, beyond the mortal divine soldiers, but the corpse soldiers can only be said to be moving corpses, and they have no human habits at all! If the two armies face each other, the 50,000 corpse soldiers will not survive half an hour under the charge of the 50,000 heavenly soldiers, and they can all be killed!"
This is obvious, once a mortal is enlightened, his brain is much more flexible than before! His physical strength will also be higher, so all the heavenly soldiers are equivalent to supermen.
The corpse soldier is to close most of people's perception, become a corpse that can walk and run, even people's normal thinking can not be satisfied, and return to the stage where everything depends on instinct, but even instinct is cruelly closed, unless it is burned by fire, even if it is a face-to-face knife chop, they will not dodge!
In this way, the heavenly soldiers and the corpse soldiers are fighting, it is like a kung fu master hitting a moving wooden stake, it is easy to hit the wooden stake, and it is also easy to dodge the counterattack of the wooden stake, so the heavenly soldiers killed 5,000 corpse soldiers, but no one was injured!
The battle of the Eastern Route Army was not as ups and downs as the Middle Route Army, and the siege of the corpse soldiers was very savage. And the main weapon of the defending side, the suppressive bow and arrow shooting, is basically useless for the corpse soldiers! So this is where the mortal soldiers of the Eastern Route Army suffer more!
After they arrived in Yuezhou, they first fought a small battle with the 2,000 defenders of Yuezhou, and they surrendered after being shot by the winged people.
The Xuanjun took over the city defense, only to find that many city defense facilities had been destroyed. After two or three days of hard work, the city defense weapons that can be prepared are really pitiful, and it is indeed not easy to kill 10,000 corpse soldiers without throwing thunder, only two cannons and six shells!
You Yong had exchanged experience with Ao Yi about dealing with corpse soldiers before, and only then did he find that the weaknesses of those corpse soldiers that the middle route army had explored could only be used in plain warfare, and it was not suitable at all for siege warfare!
For example, beheading, the corpse soldiers originally deliberately bowed their heads, and then attacked from the city to the top of the city wall, it was even more difficult to see the throat, and they couldn't get the knife, resulting in many brothers defending the city seeing their knives cut on the necks of the corpse soldiers.
Then there is the fact that they fall and then cut down, even if they fall, they will fall under the city walls, and they don't have siege ladders, they can't knock them down if they want to, and once they see them, they will climb up!
In the end, Yum thought of a way, he asked Xuan Jun to pour oil down, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, the oil was sprinkled on the barrel of the gun, making the barrel of the gun extremely slippery, and the corpse soldiers couldn't settle on it at all, and kept falling, and in the end, the oil could also ignite and turn into a raging fire, burning the corpse soldiers below!
It's a pity that the preparation time for war is too short, and the oil collected in the city is too small, so although this method is good, it can't be promoted by the big mask!
Just for this, Yum cut down the original Yin army guard when he was fighting, and the entire warehouse of oil reserves was burned up by that guy, and he didn't get rid of his hatred after killing him three times!
Fortunately, it was the corpse soldiers who withdrew, otherwise Yuezhou City really couldn't stand it, and the lack of war readiness materials was the most important thing, and the main reason for the lack of materials was that in addition to being destroyed by the Yin army, there was also an important factor, that is, the distrust of the people of Yuezhou and their lack of support!
After fighting all over the south of the Yangtze River, Xuanbing can best understand how the battle supported by the people is smooth, what do you really need the people to send, and you would rather save yourself and be frugal, but also let the Xuanjun eat well!
But this situation has never been encountered in Jiangbei, on the one hand, because it is close to Kyoto, and it is too deeply poisoned by Yinhu, and anyone who wears military uniforms, whether it is Yinjun or Xuanjun, does not trust it!
On the other hand, the time of contact is too short, and the Xuanjun army has been attacked by corpse soldiers before they have time to get close to the people, which has led to the disconnection between the army and the people, which is the main lesson!
