Under the dim light, the whole marshal's tent was gloomy and miserable, this was the first joint meeting since the start of the war, although the main commanders of the three sides of the coalition army had met before the war, but there was an optimistic atmosphere in the mood at that time, although the people of Western Xinjiang had arranged a strong force in Yunzhong Mansion, but in the face of five times his strong military strength, Yunzhong Mansion, which was not strong, would definitely become powder, according to Chu Taifeng's own estimate, the city of Yunzhong Mansion should be prostrate under his feet in less than three days, and he was even thinking about how to prevent the Duotun and Pur people from being overly poisonous and ravaged in this city。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But now it seems that he was too optimistic like everyone else, optimistic to the point of arrogance, the performance of the Western Xinjiang Army in this battle can be called flawless, although their first army has also attacked the city several times, but without exception was driven down, the strength of the Western Xinjiang Army in the face of the last critical moment did not insult their self-proclaimed "iron wall" title.

The curtain had come to an end on the third day, and the terrible conditions of the third day were no less than those of the second day. Perhaps the Poolers also sensed that they could not make a breakthrough from the West Gate, and they also sent their most elite 30,000 infantry to the East Gate to join Chu Taifeng's attack sequence as agreed, and on the third day of the attack, Chu Taifeng can also be said to have done his best to push the 30,000 troops of the Poole people plus the second division of the second army to the front line, and the second and third divisions, which had only had time to rest for a day, rejoined the battle sequence as reserves.

One of the Poole regiment commanders personally watched the battle to observe how the Poole soldiers behaved after being supported by a variety of weapons to attack the city. It should be said that the performance of these three elite 10,000 troops of the Poole people is still remarkable, although it has not caught up with the performance of several divisions of the First Army, but in the words of the representative of the Poole people watching the battle, the performance of the Tanghe people and the people of Xijiang in this battle "completely subverted his past perception of the combat effectiveness of the Tanghe army." ”

The Poole people did not perform badly, especially with the support of the large siege weapon of the city truck, they lined up in a neat queue in waves to charge, but, countless times rushed to the head of the Yunzhongfu city, and countless times the head broke blood and retreated, they had done their best, but the performance of the soldiers in the Western Xinjiang was even better, almost did not give the Poole people any chance of success, every charge they were like kicking the iron wall, could not shake, forced step by step by the Western Xinjiang army squeezed back, and finally disappeared under the city wall。

The siege tower is not very suitable for them, and the Poole army, which focuses on the overall strength, is not suitable for this kind of equipment that requires more individual ability, often the siege tower iron bridge has just been built on the city wall, and the Poole soldiers only have time to fight and struggle on the iron bridge for a while, and even the city wall is rarely able to control it, even if it is a short period of time, they will fall into the sniper net of the perfect tacit cooperation between the sniper team and the killing team in the western frontier.

The officers who watched the battle of the Poole also thought that their soldiers had fully demonstrated their strength and that they had done their best, but the tenacity and fierceness of the Western Xinjiang people were so terrifying that it was impossible to explain why they were unable to make a breakthrough when they were several times larger than each other, and in the end the Poole generals could only explain it with words that were almost a play with language art, such as "the inhuman treatment that the soldiers of the Western Xinjiang may have suffered after the inhuman treatment that may have been encountered after the city slopes, and the astonishing expression of this desperate mood".

Zhu Wenkui also wanted to prove himself and the Second Army through this battle, the performance of Gao Qiushan's Fifth Division in the first day was obviously not very satisfactory to Chu Taifeng, which would damage the overall image of the Second Army, Zhu Wenkui hoped to impress the other party with the performance of the Second Division in today's battle, but he still did not expect to encounter such a painful and unrelieved encounter.

When the fireballs were thrown by catapults within two hundred meters of the city wall, Zhu Wenkui found that the situation was not quite right, the things that burned on the ground were obviously poured and sprinkled on it, and the ground did not burn as everyone imagined, but it did burn, but the fire was not big, but it produced a large amount of smoke, and the billowing smoke once filled the entire battlefield. Could it be that this is the new tactic adopted by the Western Xinjiang Army, hoping to use this thing to block their line of sight, so that they can take the opportunity to launch an attack? No, it is impossible, Zhu Wenkui does not believe that the generals of the Western Xinjiang Army will be so mentally retarded. But how much effect does this smoke have? Is it just a matter of slowing down the pace of one's own attack?

Zhu Wenkui soon discovered that in fact he was the real mentally retarded, the northwest wind from the northwest was not strong, so that these seemingly thick smoke spread out all at once, quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield area, what made Zhu Wenkui panic was that this smoke did not seem to be the smoke produced by the burning of ordinary plants, the stench mixed with the smoke of the strong stimulus soon made the soldiers of his division who were steadily advancing uncomfortable, the eyes were red and swollen and could not be opened, the lungs were suffocated, the stomach and intestines were spasmed, and a large area of soldiers fell like a cut of wheat, like a plague, and quickly spread to the entire battlefieldThe Poole people who launched the offensive in the early stage still picked some cheap, and their forward troops had at least fought with the Western Xinjiang Army a few times, but Zhu Wenkui's division was used by Chu Taifeng in the third wave of the offensive, but the luck was so bad that they caught up with the new poison gas of the Western Xinjiang Army at once.

The second division of the second army without any preparation and the elite of a 10,000-strong team of Poole encountered this real flying disaster on the spot, and the smoke quickly made more than 30,000 soldiers who were preparing to attack lose most of their combat effectiveness, and the soldiers vomited and lost their sight, not to mention launching an attack, it was already a good performance if they did not collapse on the spot, but fortunately, Chu Taifeng was still very responsive and ordered the follow-up second and third divisions of the first army to take off their robes and soak them in water to wrap their heads and come forward to respond, which made the Western Xinjiang cavalry that took advantage of the situation not achieve the purpose of launching a counteroffensiveBut even so, the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army Corps and the 10,000-strong troops of the Poole who had not yet gone into battle were caused considerable losses by the surprise attack of the Western Frontier cavalry, and the damage caused by this poison gas could not be recovered in a day or two, and many soldiers remained blind until the evening, which greatly damaged the morale of the Northern Army.

But these are not enough to make Chu Taifeng so restless, tactical partial defeats can not change the final result of the battle, although the Western Xinjiang Army can use this kind of poison gas to achieve temporary benefits, but it also relies on the change of weather to borrow wind power, once these natural conditions no longer exist, then their good life will also mean the end. What bothered him was the information he had just obtained, more than 100,000 cavalry of the four ranger regiments in Western Xinjiang had already entered the territory of Gerlok through the Northwest County, and it was estimated that they would soon enter the territory of Yulin, which means that it would not be too far from Yunzhong. Chu Taifeng was not unprepared for the eastward return of the nomadic cavalry in the western frontier, but he did not expect that the speed of the enemy's cavalry return would be so fast, almost desperate to run wildly, although the endurance shown by the nomadic cavalry when wandering around on the grassland was quite amazing, but this time it was different, it was nearly four thousand miles, and it took more than ten days to rush back, which was simply unimaginable, you must know that the march of this brigade of cavalry troops is not like the kind of flying horse relay that passes the post book, both soldiers and war horses will bear considerable physical exertion, and desperate forced marching will only make this army completely collapse。

The grim reality made Chu Taifeng have to convene the commanders of the Dodon and Poole people to convene the first joint meeting since the start of the war, once it is impossible to capture the city of Yunzhong before the nomadic cavalry in the western Xinjiang rushes into the clouds, the situation of the coalition army will become extremely unfavorable, more than 100,000 rangers will make the coalition army fall into endless battles and raids, think about the more than 100,000 rangers who have come and gone without a trace and their own army to play this kind of hide-and-seek war of attrition, Chu Taifeng feels a headache, and more importantly, time is not on his side, if he has enough time, he is not afraid of the attack of more than 100,000 rangers, but the Western Xinjiang Army has invested heavily in the southern peninsula area, obviously to completely solve the problem of the Maqi Khan, once the Maqi Khans can not make trouble for Li Wufeng, the three legions on the peninsula is almost impossible, there must be two legions will wave troops north, by that time, plus the first army of the Western Xinjiang that has achieved absolute superiority in the five lakes, Chu Taifeng does not dare to think about it anymore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already informed you of the information we have obtained, I believe you can also pay attention to the threat behind this, Li Wufeng's 120,000 rangers are rushing to their deaths, and their purpose is to save the crisis in Yunzhong Mansion, and now they have passed the Northwest County and entered the territory of Gerlock, and it is estimated that they will pass through Gerok and enter Yulin in two days at most, that is to say, we have three more days, maybe only two days, I have already sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter along the line and grasp the speed and movement of these rangers, so there is no need to panic too much for the time being。 But what is in front of us is that once the rangers join the battle, I am afraid that we will have to face a rather difficult situation, we are afraid that we will not be able to achieve the goal we originally envisioned, that is, to take the Yunzhong Mansion, and the nail of the Yunzhong Mansion is stuck in our hearts, and all our arrangements and responses will be greatly restricted and restricted, which I believe everyone should be clear. Chu Taifeng still behaved calmly even at this time, and did not reveal the fear in his heart.
