Chapter 174: Return to the Horse Gun
No matter what happens, Xu Yan can still deal with it with a calm heart, after all, in such a situation, if he can't be calm, then how can he command an army?
Others can go crazy, but he can't, because he knows very well that although this line of cliff is also like a nail in the heart of the enemy, it is also the enemy's back.
Whether it is the front or the back, it will be completely suppressed during such a period of time.
It is not an easy thing to hold here, nowadays, the casualties are indeed not large, only more than 1,000 are killed, and the soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness are only more than 2,000, and even if they are injured, they are only minor injuries, and they will get better immediately.
However, this battle is not important, even if there is a price of blood, it can still defeat the other side, and the real miserable time is when the follow-up troops come.
Whether it's the front or the back, you're bound to encounter a crazy attack, and if you don't have a mental awareness, you won't be able to succeed at all.
"Let the soldiers rest for a while, and the generals above the rank of staff general are all here, I have something to tell them. Xu Yan saw that everyone was collecting the loot and burying the corpses, so he ordered again.
"General, you are really a god! This line of heaven is so difficult to conquer, you actually took less than an hour to conquer it, and if it is transmitted back to Great Qin, your prestige can definitely make people fearful. "The current generals are really convinced and worship Xu Yan.
What are you kidding, even such a difficult place can be conquered so easily.
If this is not the general's strategy, who will it be?
You know, if it weren't for the fierce attacks of those warlocks on the peaks on these two sides that caught them off guard, with a narrow opponent like a line of heaven, there would be no way to break through in a while.
It can even be said that even if they are given ten days, they may not be able to fully grasp this place, which is still without caring about consumption.
"It's just that they were caught off guard, this battle is not the main thing, and it is nothing to beat this line of cliffs, the main thing is to hold this place. Xu Yan became quite serious at this moment.
He knew very well where the shortcomings of their troops were, and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated.
If these soldiers and generals really start to become proud, then the next battle will definitely be lost. He didn't want to see the strategic place that he had finally won down was taken away by the other party again, and in that case, his own army would be finished.
"Hold?" the generals almost didn't drop their jaws.
This time, the general actually asked them to desperately defend this line, what if the enemy also played this hand with them? Could it be that they all died inside?
"After breakfast, I will take the Liuyun Battalion, the Tangshan Battalion and the Praetorian Guard Battalion to stay here, no matter what the cost, you must keep me here for a day and a night. Xu Yan did not hesitate and began to speak at this time.
If you can't hold it for a day and a night, then the result is conceivable, your own army will definitely be destroyed.
The Tangshan battalion, no matter how you look at it, is not an elite army, if you don't put some pressure on them, it will definitely be difficult to become a division of a hundred battles.
Under this condition, even if Xu Yan felt a little cruel, he had to do it, because this was something that no army had to go through to become a real elite.
Of course, because this place is indeed too important, he also feels uneasy, so he left the real elite Praetorian Guard Battalion, so that it is possible to hold here.
"The Praetorian Guard Battalion went to the south, plus 15,000 soldiers of the Tangshan Battalion, you must give me to defend here, if you can't hold anywhere, if you can't hold it for a day and a night, the commander will come to see me. Xu Yan said again.
"Yes, don't worry, general, if I can't hold it, I won't live alone. "Hold your fists and give orders, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, will not be the slightest slack.
"The entrance to the north is less stressful, but it must be more crazy than the south, and you must be prepared for this, for if they do not break through, they will be defeated. Xu Yan continued.
"So, this time the burden of the Tangshan Battalion is very heavy, do you have the confidence to complete it? If you don't have confidence, the Converter Cloud Battalion will come over, and you will attack the East Fence City with me. Xu Yan was a little indifferent.
Obviously, if you think about it carefully, it is actually a somewhat thankless job, but it is very suitable for Tangshan Camp.
Because they need a fierce battle more than the Liuyun Battalion to increase their combat effectiveness.
But the Liuyun Battalion is different, even if they are a relatively powerful battalion, even if the task of the main attack itself should be theirs, under such a premise, this kind of thing will naturally be left to them, and it doesn't need to be too tragic.
The reputation is gone, but such a loss can't let the Tangshan camp eat in vain.
A truly discerning person can see that in fact, Tangshan Camp is the real and most tragic battlefield.
However, when Xu Yan said this, it became inevitable that they would take advantage.
After all, this inflammatory nature is really a bit speechless.
"In that case, we should also have a battle to prove our strength, rest assured, I am the same as the Praetorian Guard Battalion, if I don't hold it, I don't need you to cut off my head, and I will directly end myself. The commander of the Tangshan battalion said without hesitation.
This man, after all, still has to be a little bloody, at this time, it is just an opportunity to prove himself, how can he let it go?
"That's fine! Remember, if you really don't hold it, General Ben will never retreat to save you. Xu Yan said.
The generals who insisted on it also nodded heavily at this time, and they all began to look forward to the tragic battle in their hearts.
Not everyone is afraid of death, especially under such incitement, and even more so, no one has said that they will leave their lives on this battlefield, which is already relatively reasonable.
"Okay, then it's up to you next, if you can succeed, I will definitely report to the court and remember your first credit. After Xu Yan finished speaking, he took another commander and prepared to leave.
In any case, in such an environment, the most important thing is here in Dongli City.
Only when the East Fence City is truly breached, will they have a place, or a chance to succeed.
In this regard, even if you can't do it, you have to do it step by step.
"Can they really resist?" said Xiao Mo behind him very worriedly when the army had already begun to turn back.
He is familiar with the art of war, and he knows that it is very difficult to be attacked by the enemy in such a belly, even if he occupies the best of the territory, and wants to really defend it.
If this was handed over to the Liuyun Battalion, it would be more reassuring, but it was such a spacing task that Xu Yan handed over to the Tangshan Battalion.
So much so that the kind of drumming in his heart has never been better.
"Don't worry, I just need them to hold out until noon today, and if the army of more than 50,000 people can't hold it until noon, then they really should die. Xu Yan said very casually.
The reason why I said that before was to give them the courage to die and survive, but it really doesn't take that long to attack an East Fence City.
Under the double-sided attack, if it can't be broken within a period of time, if it doesn't succeed in half a day, it won't succeed for three days and three nights.
This is not a war of attrition, Xu Yan knows in his heart that the most important situation is this.
"Then you!" Xiao Mo was speechless, and now he found out that His Royal Highness still had such a dark belly.
No matter what kind of fluctuations in people's hearts, he can play here, and at this moment, he is truly convinced of his master.
This is really a way to fight with anyone, it's best not to fight with your own highness, this kind of endless small tricks, it's really good or not that can kill people.
In such an environment, even he is somewhat creepy.
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of being played to death, but in front of me, His Royal Highness, is really an existence that can play a person to death, it's too terrible, don't offend him in the future.
"I only now know why you, Your Highness, were able to fight your way out of this heavy surrounding. I sighed.
Fortunately, the next bad luck is coming, and they don't have time to gossip about anything.
"Kill!" I heard the sound of killing in the city in front of me.
At this moment, Xu Yan also directly pulled out the sword in his hand, and said to the fifty thousand soldiers behind him: "Brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, we have worked so hard all night, and now this East Fence City is at your fingertips, and the first to enter the city! ”
Suddenly, the entire rear area directly killed the sky.
That kind of appearance that is not afraid of life and death can be completely infected by the surroundings.
What's more, Xu Yan's promise, for those ordinary soldiers, is the motivation to risk their lives to fight hard.
A soldier's resources in a year are only a few low-grade spirit stones, but if he can be the first to rush into the city, he will have five hundred, such a wealth is not just as simple as blushing, right?
Seeing that this group of soldiers even began to fly recklessly, the guards of Dongli City, who had already been prepared, widened their eyes, full of that strong sense of crisis and incredulity.
What kind of army is this? At such a time, that kind of courage has never appeared in front of them.
If they really sprinted, would they really be able to resist it?
Xu Yan knew that he couldn't hide the attack behind his back, and he didn't plan to hide it, what he had to do now was to do his best to attack the confidence and morale of the people who defended the city.
