CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 6 HEGEMONY Section 125 Awkward Things

In the eyes of many military experts in later generations, if Chu Taifeng, as the commander of the coalition army, could be more calm and calm to analyze the situation, or the scout of the northern army could more accurately and objectively understand the number of rangers attacking the western frontier, maybe the whole war would have changed dramatically. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the 16,000 Rangers seem to be mighty, even if they can't organize an effective defensive circle with the strength of the coalition forces at that time, as long as they use the cavalry team to fight to the death, or at a certain price even if the loss of 35,000 infantry destroys the Rangers' intention to defeat the entire coalition army, it is worth it, as long as you insist on attacking for another day or even half a day, it is entirely possible for Yunzhong City to be conquered, and once Yunzhong Mansion is conquered, many histories of future generations will also be rewritten, and there will even be many unpredictable and conjecturing turns. But all this can only exist in imagination, history has always been composed of countless accidental factors, and the battle in the clouds that decided the fate of Xijiang and the Situ family was no exception.
It is not that the Western Frontier Army does not want to pursue, but the physical strength of this group of rangers has reached the limit, and even the horses under the crotches of some cavalry when attacking the Northern Army have appeared foaming at the mouth and unable to fall to the ground with their feet and legs. And Jebu also did not dare to pursue easily, there were only 16,000 people in his hands, although he had the upper hand for a while, if he was really understood by the other party, it was easy to cause some unnecessary variables, it was better to maintain this big appearance of the virtual and the real, and it was already commendable to achieve the current situation.
Maybe as Chu Taifeng envisioned, just a few hours may be able to decide the outcome of a war, if this ranger reinforcement arrives a day late, maybe Yunzhong Mansion City has fallen, and once Yunzhong Mansion City falls, even if more than 100,000 rangers all arrive, it will be useless, the coalition army that has obtained the support point of Yunzhong Mansion City can easily deal with everything, and once Yunzhong is opened, plus Yulin under the control of the Poole people, the entire Northern Plains region will be under the view of the Northern Army, and more importantly, if the Northern Alliance wins this battle, it will be the incentive for the conservative nobles within the empire can be imaginedMore importantly, it can also win more support from the Liboa countries for Situ Tai, perhaps even the Sithro and Kaman people will be affected and change the current wavering attitude, while the Maqi Khans in the south, the Luzon people in the west, the Japanese people in the east and the Great Eastern Ocean in the east, and countless anti-Li forces around them will be encouraged to varying degrees.
Kamapov was not able to breathe a sigh of relief until the encirclement from three sides completely disappeared, and at this time, he found that his hands that had been holding the clairvoyant mirror had stiffened, so he kept holding up the posture of looking around, from early in the morning to the afternoon, for a full nine hours, in the middle of which there was neither time to eat nor rest, coupled with the intense work of the previous few days, when he was sure that all external threats had been completely eliminated, and the situation in Yunzhongfu had turned from dangerous to safe, he really couldn't support his body, and he was paralyzed in the big chair, at this time he didn't want to think about anything, he didn't ask for anything, he just wanted to lie on the ground and sleep beautifully。
The surrounding soldiers also seemed to be able to understand the mood of their commander, no one bothered him, let him curl up in the big chair and fall asleep, the bellows pulling like a snoring sound drifted around under the castle tower, until the tired Jebu finally ended their pursuit and returned to the city of Yunzhongfu, Kamapov, one of the protagonists of the battle in the clouds, was still snoring at the top of the city wall, so that the birds who wanted to rest on the castle tower in the evening did not dare to land.
The battle in the clouds was pinned on by Situ Tai, Situ Yushuang and the nobles of Yanjing, as well as some well-intentioned people, the battle in the clouds ended in such a posture, in this big war, the two sides used more than 500,000 troops, but from the beginning of the war to the end of the war was only five days, but in these five days, blood was almost always spilled, and every second died, every day thousands of lives were buried under the city wall of less than 15 kilometers in total, and the corpses of the dead soldiers were lined up enough to make the city wall more than ten circles! According to the statistics after the war, after the end of the war, the Northern Army had 130,000 people in six full divisions, only less than 40,000 remained, and the rest were either killed, surrendered, or lost their combat effectiveness; the Poole people were also not easy in this battle, and the three corps they participated in this battle paid the price of more than 70,000 people, of course, this also has a lot to do with their backward siege equipment and means and outdated tactical thinking, and the people who really survived in this battle were the flexible Dodon people, who only lost less than 40,000 people in the two corps, and Supchenko faithfully carried out their instructions of King Andrei, and acted when the wind and the opportunityand do everything possible to preserve their strength.
The Western Frontier Army in this battle is also a blood and life in exchange for this fruit, the four divisions of the Fifth Army really retained less than thirty percent of the veterans, the number of killed is more than half, and in the next two days, a large number of Yunzhong athletes joined Although they rose up to fight the enemy with enthusiasm, but they were not real soldiers after all, and the cruel war also brought them considerable casualties, according to statistics, in this battle, there were at least nearly 10,000 athletes in Yunzhong who bravely sacrificed themselves for this glorious battle.
More than 200,000 people on both sides of the battle in the clouds were killed in this battle, its tragedy and cruelty far exceeded that of any other war, the Fifth Army was able to resist the crazy attack of 500,000 troops for more than five days without losing the city, this alone was enough to make Kamapov stand proudly among the bright stars in the western frontier and not fade, this battle can be called an absolute model of defensive operations in terms of hardship and strategic significance or the use of defensive tactical means and facilities, Qin King Li Wufeng after learning the news, there is no extra language, and there is no other reward, only personally inscribed the Fifth Legion as the "Rock Army" as a reward, but it is this autographed inscription that makes the Fifth Legion famous on the continent since then, no matter how the name of the Fifth Legion changes, this Rock Army has been following them, which has also become the most proud glory of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Legion, every time the Rock Army is mentioned, the battle in the clouds must be mentioned first, and it is this battle that really laid the great military prestige of the Rock Army.
This is also the first time that Li Wufeng has given the title of a legion-level army, although he was given the title of the Tiger Wing Army of the First Division of the Fifth Army in the early stage, but many people think that this is actually the favor of His Royal Highness King Qin for this special unit that has always been in the position of the Guards Division, of course, this army is indeed first-class in all aspects, but this is not an affirmation of the combat effectiveness of the entire army of the Fifth Legion, but this time His Royal Highness the King of Qin gave the title is really unmistakable, the Fifth Legion, this combat unit can finally appear as a first-rate identity in the future Brilliant Emperor[***] in history.
When Wu Feng learned of the victory, it was already the middle of the night the next day. When Kamapov and Jebu spent a night completely cleaning up and dealing with the aftermath of the entire Yunzhong Mansion, it was already dawn the next day, this unprecedented tragic battle, although the time was short, but the number of casualties on both sides was incomparable to any war, and the damage brought by the war to the entire Yunzhong Mansion was also unprecedented, in addition to the death of a large number of strong men, there were also a large number of soldiers of the Western Xinjiang Army who died and died in the aftermath of the various aftermath that needed to be solved, a large number of light and serious wounded people need to be treated in time, these people are rare and precious wealth, as long as they can recover, everyone will be fearless of any hardships and hardships in the future。
Although it was believed that it would be impossible for the Northern Coalition to organize an attack on Yunzhong or pose a substantial threat to Yunzhong at such a time, the veteran Kamapov still sent a large number of scouts to grasp the retreat of the various units of the coalition army and prevent any accidents. It was not until the early morning of the next day that the casualties of the Western Frontier Army were truly counted, and compared with the losses of the Northern Coalition Army, Kamapov sent urgent letters to Cui Wenxiu in Qinghe Province and Qin Wangfu in Hanzhong Province.
When the emergency military intelligence from Yunzhong was delivered to Wu Feng, Wu Feng, who was staying in Lin Yue's heart, jumped from Lin Yue's bed to the ground wearing only a pair of underwear, and was so excited that he almost shouted in a roaring voice: "The big thing is done!
Even Lin Yuexin was so shocked by Wufeng's performance that she hurriedly got up to dress for her crazy lover, and when she learned the result of the battle in the clouds, she couldn't help but hug Wufeng with relief to celebrate, the clouds survived, like a nail stuck in Situ Tai's abdomen, and the Yulin occupied by the Poole people has become a tree without roots, water without a source, and the Western Frontier Army can take it back at any time, I believe that it will not be long before the Poole people will withdraw from Yulin by themselves. The more important thing in this battle is to completely cripple the main force of Situ Tai's Northern Army, so far it is almost impossible for the Northern Army to regroup, and the Western Xinjiang will not give them any more chances, as for the city guards and the Praetorian Guards in the south, although they still pose violently as if they want to eat people, but in the eyes of Lin Yuexin, an expert who is familiar with military affairs, it is purely a papier-mâché tiger, which will be broken when poked, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is just right for the Western Xinjiang Army to practice and practice.
