Chapter 145 Advancement
Chapter 145 Promotion
Thanks to the full cooperation of Yunzhou, the Blood Qi army almost did not need to carry food supplies when marching rapidly. There were naturally barracks that could be stationed in one place, with sufficient food and drinking water. The Blood Qi army was able to carry a large number of Mars bombs, sulphur bombs, and more large amounts of arrows and other materials in preparation for high-intensity combat. They would inevitably encounter high-intensity combat.
Qiu Haohui did not regard Xiling's camp in Mengnan Banner as any threat. Just when Jiang Xujing was thinking about attacking the Blood Qi army, Qiu Haohui, Chi Lei and others had already cooperated with Tie Yunqi to formulate a plan to remove the Mengnan Banner camp. In this plan, the main task that the Blood Qi army would undertake was to block the reinforcements sent by Jiang Xujing from Zijing Valley where the Blood Qi army was camped. Since ten thousand cavalry followed Ye Tao north to participate in the alliance, the main ones left were heavy infantry, Changbow Battalion, baggage battalion and heavy equipment battalion. Even with Chi Lei's scout cavalry, there were only a few thousand cavalry, which was not enough to participate in the decisive battle of the cavalry regiment. Their equipment and training ensured that they could carry out extremely strong garrisons.
"Brother, what do you think of the Blood Qi Army and the others?" Because his daughter was already in the original host of the Wolf, Dai Shikui did not accompany Ye Tao to the north, and asked Dai Shu, a powerful figure in the younger generation of the Dai family, to accompany Ye Tao. Dai Shikui himself came to the western front of Yunzhou with the main force of the Blood Qi Army, and together with his elder brother, Dai Shining, the leader of the Dai clan, to prepare for an attack on Xiling.
With quick and powerful tactical actions, he strives for a critical victory in a short period of time, thus achieving favorable conditions in morale, diplomacy, etc. Dai Shining was extremely supportive of such a strategy. The Blood Qi Army has always obeyed his command in a very friendly atmosphere since he came to the Western Front, which made him feel the generous and sincerity of Dongping in his heart. He threw it with peaches and responded with Li. Dai Shining also gave the Blood Qi Army absolutely sufficient voice in several military discussions after the arrival of the Blood Qi Army, and even asked the Blood Qi Army to give priority to the task when the battle mission was assigned.
Originally, Dai Shining and other core figures of the Dai family were preparing to hand over the last attack on Mengnan Banner to the Blood Qi Army. Such a task was not dangerous and would not be very damaged... In fact, if the early offensive could be carried out smoothly, this last attack would be a purely profitable action. However, the serious and modest Blood Qi Army's acting governor Qiu Haohui, the young master of the Dongping Taiwei family, and Zou Shuangwen, who had an equally extraordinary origin, met and asked for the task of blocking Jiang Xujing's main force to help. This is the most dangerous task in the entire battle planning. When Dai Shining asked about any other requests, the request they made was simple, hoping that after besieging the enemy troops of Mengnan Banner, they could distribute an iron cloud cavalry to protect their flanks and ensure that Jiang Xujing had to attack them head-on. The most legitimate and simple request...
Although the troops were relatively tight, Dai Shining directly allocated 5,000 Iron Cloud Cavalry to Qiu Haohui and temporarily obeyed their command. Correspondingly, the Blood Qi Army's heavy equipment battalion allocated a team of more than 500 people, carrying enough sulphur bombs and crossbows to assist Yunzhou in the battle. Although it can be said that it was the first joint battle between Yunzhou and Dongping in history, the two sides had already had a tacit understanding.
Dai Shikui was a little puzzled about the blood Qi army that he had to endure a considerable casualty before he could complete. Dai Shikui was a little interested in the Blood Qi army. Dai Shining was a general who could lead troops to charge, but was not a good commander who liked to interfere with the command of his subordinates. He did not follow the Tieyun Cavalry to Mengnan Banner to vigorously remove the nails of the advance camp, but instead stayed in the current 20,000 infantry stationed now. It ensured that Jiang Xujing could not directly enter the key location of Yunzhou's destruction after failing to attack the Blood Qi army: Suiyuan City. Since Suiyuan City is only less than a hundred miles away from the Blood Qi army's camp, he has been staying in the Blood Qi army camp with Dai Shikui these days. Seeing that the Blood Qi army received the task that their brothers thought was extremely tragic, Dai Shikui was still extremely happy. His morale was as bright as a rainbow, Dai Shikui was increasingly confused about the Blood Qi army.
"Hehe, they really have confidence. After years of fighting on the battlefield, they rarely see an army that is so confident in their strength." Dai Shining smiled heartily and said, "This time, Jiang Xujing is in trouble."
"They only have 20,000 people, and even if they are given the 5,000 Iron Cloud Cavalry in the ground, they will only be 25,000. But Jiang Xujing was pressing forward in a blink of an eye. Can the earth really stand it?" Dai Shikui hesitated.
Dai Shining shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Warning war is useless, just looking at the number of troops, otherwise everyone would just bring the tyrants to compete in the formation, and what else can I do? I dare not say that the Blood Qi Army can definitely defend it. After all, although they have experienced the battle formation, they are not the kind of iron army that has been in the forever battle. But from the beginning, the Blood Qi Army was not ready to defend it. They were even more energetic."
Dai Shining asked his guards to take paper and pen and briefly draw the distribution map of the Blood Qi Army camp he saw. He explained to Dai Shikui: "Look, they concentrated the catapults and crossbows in one direction. It was about 1,200 to 2,000 steps. One side of the barracks is three layers of barriers, and the other three sides are only two layers. The passage design in the camp facilitates all troops to gather and line up on the front of the width of less than 2,000 steps... The Blood Qi Army did not want to guard the camp at all. They just wanted to fight in the field."
Dai Shikui was shocked and said, "Although the camps on the plains did not take much advantage, but in field battles? How many times the troops do they dare to fight in field? After all, they have to take advantage of a lot of more camps."
Dai Shining put down his pen and said, "So they are so arrogant... But if I have equipment, training, and such complete logistics as the Blood Qi Army, I would have chosen to fight in the field. Just wait and see."
Jiang Xujing's troops attacked at the forefront not Jiang Xujing's main cavalry, but 10,000 cavalry of Ni Sigui's unit of Zhenbei Army and 30,000 infantry of Zhao Li's unit. Jiang Xujing felt the threat of the flanking Suiyuan City. Although Suiyuan City had limited troops, it was possible to get reinforcements at any time after all, he placed 10,000 cavalry of Jia Qingyun's unit in the direction of Suiyuan. He himself led his own cavalry to support him. As for the more than 20,000 Daomingzong's escort army, Jiang Xujing didn't know how powerful the combat power was, so he didn't dare to send it rashly. He was afraid that if these 20,000 escort soldiers would not be able to fight like the tycoons who stuffed them into his combat sequence, they would retreat first, and the situation would be difficult to deal with.
However, Zhao Li was attacked on the night before the Blood Qi Army. When he was just a little unstable, Zhao Li was very careful after all, and the nighttime attack was meticulously deployed. However, the attack camp planned by the Blood Qi Army was extremely exciting. First, a team of more than 2,000 people approached Zhao Li's camp, triggered the ringtone of the alarm, and retreated in disappointment before joining Zhao Li's troops. Then Tieyun Cavalry was active nearby, as if he was preparing for a strong attack at night. In order to allow the soldiers under his command to rest, Zhao Li brought 10,000 people to fight, but unexpectedly, Tieyun Cavalry was close and did not fight closely with them. Just when Zhao Li didn't understand what the other party was thinking, the Blood Qi Army launched
The official night attack. After nearly half a quarter of an hour of fire attack, thousands of Blood Qi army cavalry and longbowmen who were fighting on horseback launched a general attack on the camp. If Zhao Li had not responded in time, and had a soldier under his command who fought to the death, he had held a small area in the camp and gradually gathered the soldiers who fled everywhere due to the fire, he might have been completely defeated that night. Although Zhao Li had performed very well, the 30,000 infantry in his subordinates still died and injured more than 6,000 people in his subordinates. In fact, if Ni Sigui's troops had not seen the fire at night and drove the entire army to help him in time, forcing the Blood Qi army to retreat slowly after taking a vote, I'm afraid Zhao Li would have lost the camp and entered the camp in an extremely indecent manner.
The Blood Qi army was too arrogant. When Jiang Xujing got the news, he was furious. He immediately ordered the Daomingzong's escort army to top. In addition to Ni Sigui's army and Jia Qingyun's army maintaining the two wings of the army, he placed the 20,000 cavalry in his headquarters on the front of the Blood Qi army, as if he wanted to fight against the Blood Qi army in field. What annoyed him even more was that the Blood Qi army did not hesitate at all, but instead took his letter of war happily and fought to a decisive battle tomorrow. Jiang Xujing had never seen such a arrogant and domineering army. Even the legendary No. 1 army in the world, he didn't think he could have such qualifications.
However, not long after the decisive battle began, he realized that the Blood Qi Army was a terrible army. Ni Sigui's 10,000 cavalry, who cooperated with Zhao Li's combat power, and jointly attacked the Blood Qi Army's military formation, and did not even break the first line of defense. When Xiling launched an attack, the cavalry and infantry had just rushed through the middle line of the battlefield, the Blood Qi Army's heavy equipment camp began to express their opinions. One by one, the sultry bombs fell on the battlefield, landing between the dense infantry and cavalry. Because there were too many sultry bombs projected, it even caused a shocking explosion effect on the battlefield. The heavy bombs shot out by the Divine Arm Bow even caused a shocking explosion effect. The heavy bombs shot out by the Divine Arm Bow even caused a shocking explosion effect on the battlefield.
The arrows were aiming and shouting, yelling and cursing the officers who maintained the front and morale of the soldiers of Xiling. After avoiding these and rushing within a hundred steps in front of the Blood Qi army, they encountered a raging fire that ejected from the pipe. Even though they fought desperately to break through these defenses, the Xiling cavalry found that they could not cross the long spears at all. The heavy infantry of the Blood Qi army stood tower shields, and had long spears that could pierce the claws of the mud at the tail of the gun. There were people in the team holding long swords in their hands to make up for leaks. Behind them were orders to shoot without restrictions, so they didn't have to worry about hurting their own people...
