Chapter 180: Drawing the Sword in Anger (2-in-1)
Chapter 180: Draw your sword in anger
(PS: Today's first change, something, come back the day after tomorrow to break out.) )
"There are more than 20,000 people left in our army who can still fight, of which 5,000 are brothers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and more than 10,000 are brothers of the Tangshan Battalion.
More than 10,000 people were wounded and lost their combat strength. When he said this, even if he was a big man, his expression was quite helpless at this time.
If you say that you really have that kind of ability, it would be great, but unfortunately, such a battle now completely proves the inadequacy of the Tangshan battalion.
Whether it's the way of fighting or whatever, here, it can be said that more and more people are dying.
On the other hand, the Praetorian Guard Battalion is only 10,000 people, and now at least half of the combat strength is still there, even more terrifying is the results they have achieved, which is not much better than their Tangshan Battalion.
Such a gap, he may have been prepared in his heart before, but if he really said it at this time, it would still be very disgusting, okay?
In such an environment, there is no need for everyone to hide anything, after all, in many cases, they can not do a lot of things, in such a situation, to be able to go this far, which in itself is very commendable.
"What about the enemy army?" Okay, when Xu Yan heard this amount, the whole person began to be a little incredulous, such a tragic battle is really unimaginable.
Nearly half of the soldiers fell on this battlefield, so that the army was still fighting, and had not lost its combat effectiveness, so strong, even if it was sudden, if you didn't feel any emotion in your heart, it was completely impossible, okay?
Only now, in his heart, can he truly understand this meaning, war, for him, is indeed a place of baptism, but for the real army, why not a place of baptism?
Xu Yan dared to imagine that if after a period of time, these veterans who really survived the battlefield, the combat effectiveness would not be as simple as before, whether it was the soldiers here in Da Zhou or here in Da Qin, it would be the same.
Compared with the battle of this line cliff, in fact, to be honest, the battle of the east fence is simply pediatric, okay?
It's not that they don't agree with this kind of battle in their hearts, but it's because there are so many things that can be learned in such a battle, that even they, at this time, have nothing but admiration for these soldiers.
"With such an army, I should be happy in Daqin!" gave an evaluation at this time in his heart, a real evaluation, even if he was himself at this time, when he thought of all this, his heart was full of emotion and helplessness.
If he had succeeded in taking Dongli City earlier, how could there have been such a miserable war as he is now? Unfortunately, there is no point in regretting it and thinking of other ways now.
In the entire few days of war, they have already lost 50,000 combat strength in the Southern Third Army, such a war, even if it was some time ago, it rarely happened in Daqin, okay?
Whether it is tragic or otherwise, at this time, in fact, in everyone's hearts, there is only one thing left to defend the country.
"Today's Great Zhou army, the losses are more serious, almost more than 70,000 soldiers and soldiers died on this battlefield, we rely on the strong terrain, really gave them many fatal blows, and this war, even if it is the general of the Great Zhou, it is estimated that they can only sigh. His expression was a little better when he said this.
In any case, the outcome of the battle was gratifying, whether it was for the sake of killing the other party's living force or for something else, and the tactics of their separation during such a period of time were very useful.
Only a few hours have passed, and more than 70,000 enemy soldiers and generals have died on this battlefield.
Now Xu Yan's heart is also somewhat relieved, in his opinion, there are 150,000 troops here to attack, this can be regarded as a real desperate bet, and now there are at most less than 100,000 soldiers left, plus his own reinforcements, it is not very difficult to swallow this kind of army.
However, the next sentence from the other party still completely extinguished his thoughts, and he only heard the other party say: "They have an army of 200,000 this time, which can be said to be the largest army in the past, even if it is at this time, they can still effectively attack." ”
Xu Yan was dumbfounded when he heard it, this is the rhythm of the decisive battle?
Could it be that this Eastern Fence City is really so important that the general who commanded millions of dollars on the other side has no regard for the rear?
If that's the case, it's a huge opportunity for them, and now that things have come to this point, everything is already on the surface.
Xu Yan didn't think that he would be able to fight that big Zhou in a short period of time, but now the other party's posture is clearly wanting to pull off the posture and do it himself.
Such a result is somewhat unacceptable to anyone for a while, right?
You know, this can definitely be said to be a huge surprise for Xu Yan now, okay? Especially when the battle situation is at this level, this is even more so.
"General, do we have the ability to eat this army at this time?" I have to say that Xu Yan at this time is really moved, if he is not moved like this, then he will not be a qualified general.
Xiang Tianxiao is also moving in his heart, but he has always been quite cautious when fighting.
Without knowing why the other party is so crazy, it is absolutely difficult to make a conclusion at this time, although his heart is also inclined to Xu Yan's current thoughts.
"If you can eat it, this is naturally the best, but the hundreds of thousands of troops, even if we really go all out now, they will still be able to break through, and now the encirclement and suppression, some of the gains outweigh the losses, and it is very likely that they will take advantage of the loopholes. "Smiling at the sky is more sensible.
After all, if he really started attacking like crazy, it wouldn't be a safe thing for him to do.
If they really launch a tragic encirclement and suppression at such a time, it is very likely that they will attack this line of cliffs after they break out, and when the time comes, the troops of the first line of cliffs will be empty, and it is not impossible to be directly attacked by them within a period of time.
And in that case, if they contacted the lone army in the territory of Great Qin and attacked the East Fence City again, the result would be really terrifying.
Such a thing is not completely impossible, and it can even be said that it is very possible.
Naturally, if this really comes to that time, this army will definitely pierce into Daqin's heart like a needle, and you can't completely wipe it out if you can hide.
At that time, it is not known whether it is really a good thing, even if they have achieved the feats they are doing on the front line, because of this thorn, they will not have much achievement.
To be honest, he would not advocate this at this time, but this point was raised by Xu Yan.
In Xu Yan's heart, eating this kind of army now is the best way, and Xiang Tianxiao naturally knows that it is better not to say this too much.
Only then did he say to Xu Yan with some solemnity, even if he saw Xu Yan's ability, but it was impossible to really say that his senses in his heart had reached the limit.
This person, after all, there are still times when he makes mistakes, especially when Xu Yan is a teenager, and he happens to be young and vigorous, which is why Xiang Tianxiao feels that he will also be in the three armies of the South in the future, mainly because he is afraid that Xu Yan will be in a hurry for quick success.
The arrogant army will be defeated, and everyone understands this truth very well in their hearts.
"Do you have other ideas?" After finishing speaking, Xiang Tianxiao looked at Xu Yan with some doubts.
Regardless of whether he is young and vigorous or not, His Royal Highness King Yu in front of him is indeed a person who is very good at fighting, especially at critical moments, his thinking is quite clear.
If he could give his reasons and convince himself, he wouldn't mind helping out at this time, and even go all out.
But if he just took a risk, even if it was His Majesty the Emperor standing in front of him, he would still not be able to say a word.
After all, the battlefield is not child's play, and the situation of the war cannot be influenced by people's emotions in a lifetime.
This kind of rapid change is completely difficult for many generals to imagine, and naturally, he also wants to hear Xu Yan's opinion.
"My opinion is very simple, if we lose this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to eat this army in front of us. Xu Yan was a little helpless.
He didn't know who the commander of the other party was, but at least he was a general who did know some strategies, otherwise, in this line of cliffs, he would not be so miserable when he occupied the right time and place, and he also had the Praetorian Guard.
It is precisely because of such tragedy that Xu Yan, who ordered Xu Yan, paid more or less attention to those generals, and it can be said that the other party was also a rather cautious existence.
Now, this is the best opportunity, if even this opportunity is missed, it is very likely that the next step will be a stalemate, or even a fight for attrition.
"What's more, as far as I can see, the reason why they sent an army of 200,000 to attack our first-line cliff so frantically this time is that they feel that we will not attack them, if it is true, once we make a move, it is very likely that we will be caught off guard. A glimmer of divine light flashed in Xu Yan's eyes, whether this was true or not, at least, for him, such a situation was very easy to find.
War, which in itself is a state of rapid change, would not have made such a decision at such a time if I hadn't seen such a number.
Even if he knew that it would be difficult to get out of all this, at such a level, if he really didn't do anything, the final result would be as difficult as a mirror in his heart.
Even so, even if it is a gamble, it still has a lot of odds for him, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't really be so aggressive.
"I understand what you said, but once they really break through, or even attack the first-line cliff, this result is really unimaginable. Indeed, Xu Yan's words also have a certain attraction in his eyes.
However, this does not mean that he can give up his cautiousness and truly cooperate with Xu Yan in such an environment.
After all, war is a matter of death, even if you know that there will be a lot of gain in such a situation, but gambling with the lives of soldiers is not a good thing.
"It's not just because I want to attack. Xu Yan said at this time after all.
In his eyes, these so-called reasons are certainly very important, but what is more important is that he can now grasp the situation.
Whether it is the Tangshan battalion stationed here, or the reinforcements that came later, none of them are without hatred, and this kind of hatred will turn their army into killing machines.
Many times, it is regarded as useless morale by those soldiers and generals, but to a large extent, it can play a very incredible role in the war, and because of this, even if Xu Yan knows very clearly in his heart that this encirclement and suppression may be a bit risky, he still can't help but do this.
It's like gambling, you may have the possibility of losing, but the outcome of losing is not completely unacceptable, but once you win, it will be a terrible victory.
With such a trade-off, if Xu Yan didn't understand this Xiang Tianxiao after he said it, he would not be considered a qualified general.
After Xu Yan whispered to the other party, Ben was still smiling at the sky who was quite entangled, and finally nodded solemnly, obviously, all this has become obvious now.
Xu Yan's plan is better than his previous conservative ideas, even if it is a bit risky, but as he himself said, even if it fails, what can he do?
It was still the land of this Great Qin, and if Great Qin really wanted to exterminate the hidden army at all costs, this would not be a completely impossible task.
Without much loss, if the encirclement and suppression of this army were really successful, in those few days, the three southern armies would have really wiped out the 500,000 Great Zhou army.
With such a record, I'm afraid that even among all the Great Qin armies that went out, it can be regarded as second to none, right?
Of course, 300,000 is not a small amount, but at this point, if there is no such plan as Xu Yan, it will be difficult to complete such a huge victory.
What's more, after the victory, the propaganda effect of this Great Qin is even more terrifying.
Today's Daqin is the most lacking in a hearty victory.
Xu Yan chose to do this because he took this into account.
"Then let's take action! Since we are going to fight, we will take them by surprise as soon as possible. "Xiang Tianxiao is quite cautious in his own right, but he is also a resolute person, and once he decides something, he will not change in the slightest.
And at this time, they naturally knew this result clearly, so much so, knowing that this situation was in this situation, Xiang Tianxiao directly ordered to start preparing for the attack.
The slogan is very simple, to avenge the death of the brothers on the first-line cliff, almost all the soldiers and generals, after hearing this sentence, began to scream directly, in this way, it can be regarded as a real war.
Seeing the tens of thousands of soldiers under their feet die on this battlefield, who really has no anger and no hatred in their hearts? Since there is already hatred between the two sides, the desire to fight and fight is extremely strong.
On the contrary, the other party has been unable to attack for a long time, and Xu Yan's reinforcements have come, the edge can be said to be long gone, encirclement and suppression at this time, and even directly eat this army, is obviously the best tactic.
Seeing his army rushing out of that line of cliffs like hungry wolves, and even the mountains on both sides were countless troops, after all, Xu Yan was small at this time.
Drawing his sword in anger, even if it is him, he has to temporarily avoid the tactics of the edge, at this time to deal with this army that itself has long been no longer sharp and its morale is relatively low, in fact, in Xu Yan's heart, this is not a difficult and challenging war.
And such a terrifying record of 500,000 troops being annihilated, if it is really reflected in his career, what a glory it will be, even if he is a teenager, when he thinks of this, his heart is quite bloody.
It's really hard to imagine that on such a battlefield filled with countless lives, there are still people who can find a sense of identity and glory here, how shocking it is.
In fact, the military is like this, without that identity, without that loyalty, how can we talk about the army?
Only those who truly have their own ideals can not be afraid of life and death on the battlefield, and even the simplest things cannot be forgotten.
On the contrary, in war, there are countless people who are afraid of death, and why? The absolute reason is that they do not have that sense of belonging.
What's more, who is a really battle-hardened general, who is not as good as a stone in the end, in their eyes, life may not be just a number, but when necessary, it can still be used as a consumable.
In this regard, there has not been much so-called change from beginning to end.
Xu Yan clearly knows this truth in his heart, so he will mourn for those dead soldiers, but under such a general trend, how can he really avoid the war and immortals?
