Chapter 325 Breaking the Array
Chapter 325: Breaking the Formation
"What are the casualties now?" After stepping into the command tent again, Ye Tao asked bluntly.
"It's a big victory... an unprecedented big victory." Dai Shiheng gently pressed his right hand and asked an officer who jumped up and prepared to report the numbers to sit down. "Before you know the numbers, make sure that you are pursuing first is victory."
Ye Tao already knew at this time that although the number of casualties may not be really amazing, it must be quite impressive. At this moment, he had seen quite a few soldiers falling down beside him. Although it was the first time that he had seen such a scene, it still deeply touched his heart. He knew that he would never get used to or even like such scenes.
"Since the battle is too big, if the victory is not achieved, the soldiers will die in vain. I admit it..." Ye Tao sat on the stool on one side, and the two guards immediately stepped forward to remove the armor for Ye Tao. Ye Tao had been fighting for a long time, and in this weather, it is conceivable that the consumption was consumed. Ye Tao wore a cotton-linen blend in the armor, and the warrior suit with pure cotton shoulder pads was almost completely soaked in sweat. Even Ye Tao had begun to emit a somewhat sour smell. This smell mixed with the strong bloody smell emitted by the armor, and perhaps it was the smell of the battlefield.
"So far, the total number of our troops involved in the battle is 33, all of which are formally organized by Yunzhou, and even four garrison battalions. There are about six battalions of reserves, including three auxiliary soldiers from the Farms and ranches of the Francisco, as well as the 10,000 tribal warriors sent by Golan in advance. Golan himself also led more than 20,000 tribal cavalry. If the task is completed, they may appear on the battlefield at any time. They do not need supplies than us." Dai Shiheng said: "In addition, the ones involved in the battle include your guards and airships for these troops. In general, the combat situation is good. The number of enemies annihilated has exceeded 120,000, and the specific number is unknown. The combat reduction of our troops is currently around 17,400, of which 8,900 people were killed."
These numbers made Ye Tao dizzy, and almost three battalions of soldiers were killed in battle. Naturally, Ye Tao also understood that this was indeed an absolutely considerable victory for the casualties between the two sides. However, no matter which leader was, he always hoped that the more enemies he killed, the better, and the smaller his damage, the better.
"Oh... I must place all the families of all the dead and seriously injured soldiers..." Ye Tao sighed.
Dai Shihuan didn't say anything. He continued to think about it and said, "Grind for a while, then put the tribal cavalry and those auxiliary soldiers into the battlefield and launch a general attack. The time is almost the same. In addition, I have ordered the airship team to supplement and come and attack the enemy immediately. If it can go down, it is best. I still hope that I can solve the problem before Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun's troops come to the battlefield."
Dai Shihuan still couldn't get what he wanted. After a while, Jia Qingyun brought a cavalry to the battlefield. Although the only few thousand cavalry could not be changed, it greatly boosted the morale of Xiling's army.
"Master General..." Jia Qingyun rolled off the horse and was worshipped in front of Jiang Xujing's war horse. "It's too late in the future..."
"Where is my home?" Jiang Xujing stroked his beard and asked.
"...Si Gui, he...he died in the formation." Jia Qingyun did not dare to look up.
Jiang Xujing's body shook for a moment, but he didn't seem to feel too much surprise. "Are they those...those flying in the sky?"
Jia Qingyun said tremblingly: "Master... this... I really don't know how to resist it."
"Get up and rest for twenty minutes, and then you will take your piece to attack Chi Lei's wing, anger him and entangle him. Can you... do it?" Jiang Xujing asked.
"The last general will live up to the great general's reputation." Jia Qingyun said seriously.
After seeing off Jia Qingyun, Jiang Xujing sighed. Now he had to do his best, but Jiang Xujing himself didn't know what the result would be. In his eyes, there was a group of airships flying leisurely in this gentle windy weather. This time, the formation of the airships was more scattered and loaded more scattered bombs. Since he knew that the flight distance was much shorter than before, the requirements for ammunition delivery were higher, this time the entire airship team chose light oil, freeing up the weight and loading a lot of scattered bombs.
"Captain, the main command tower command: attack at will." The messenger looked at the flag and light boxes on the main command tower and reported.
"Brothers, have you heard it? Attack at will!" Looking at the signal light boxes on all the airships, they responded. The airship team formed two loose rows, and the slightly lowered height began to scatter above Jiang Xujing's army.
The sulphur bombs were thrown down one by one. The airship tried hard to find the densest place in the crowd and dropped the sulphur bombs. Due to the limited battlefield space and too many people, almost every sulphur bomb could burn a large number of people. The whistle that was directly ignited by the sulphur bomb made the people around them even more and more courageous. Even if the light oil burned by the sulphur bombs was splashed to a little bit, it made people feel so painful.
"Scatter...Scatter..." Jia Qingyun quickly helped evacuate, but after a short breath, the Yunzhou army began to steadily advance with heavy infantry as the vanguard. There were airships shuttled back and forth on it and threw fireballs from time to time. This kind of scene was really not something that soldiers in this time and space could easily deal with.
"Master-in-law... be careful!" An officer whipped Jiang Xujing's mount hard, and the horse rushed out a few steps, but finally dodged an inaccurate sulphur bomb.
Jiang Xujing was still scared, but more of it was annoyed. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time that he had encountered such a situation that he didn't know how to deal with. To deal with the gliding bullet before, it was just a kind of powerlessness. At least the accurate head of the gliding bullet was not so reliable. Although he was always beaten, he turned a blind eye to one eye and passed. It was different now. The casualties caused by the airship that shuttled back and forth were fine, and it seemed that many people were killed at first glance. But the army was so chaotic, especially the large number of soldiers who almost lost the courage to fight, which was a problem that could not be dealt with at once.
"Assault by the whole army." Jiang Xujing raised his sword high and ordered. The troops of the last two towns, who had been waiting for a long time, also started to move, slowly accelerating, and running towards the battlefield.
"All army assault." At this time, the same order was also spit out from Dai Shihuan's mouth. Then, Dai Shihuan said to Ye Tao: "Master Ye, you can stay here. Let's loosen your muscles and bones." As he said that, Dai Shihuan raised his body from the sand table and stepped out of the command tent. Outside, not only him, but Dai Shijin had already been on the verge of being a pawn. Two young guys, shoulder to shoulder, led their personal soldiers, rode straight out of the Central Army camp and headed towards the battlefield. Seeing Dai Shihuan and
Dai Shijin went to the battlefield together, and the soldiers started to clamor again. For many soldiers, today's war was worth it. Their commander has been fighting side by side with them. The old patriarch and commander of the Dai family, the new generals of Yunzhou, the prince of Dongping, and the strategic commander Ye Tao... For many people, even if they want to see one of them, it is a luxury to see one of them. Now, these people are with everyone. Their image of loud command is deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers.
Ye Tao was not used to commanding this kind of battle against the sand table. He climbed the main command tower in three steps and issued orders completely through signals and order flags. Although Ye Tao knew that he still had to stick to this post at this moment, he was not hesitant to put the Guard Cavalry Battalion and Guard Infantry Battalion on the battlefield again...
"Wan Sheng!..." "Wan Sheng!..."... With the release of each order, the soldiers shouted passionately, and they were neatly arranged in line to fight against the enemies in front of them. The Yunzhou army was in high morale, with many troops, skillful cooperation between the troops, careful armor protection, sharp and exquisite weapons, which can be said to be good at winning the field, but now the Yunzhou army has a great advantage: in the air. When their opponents need to pay attention to their heads at any time, the Yunzhou army began to have great advantages. Indeed, the Yunzhou army is indeed tired now, but under the control of a strong desire to win, this fatigue is ignored at this moment. Will this state of excitement continue until the end of the battle? In fact, both sides are not sure of it now.
The decisive moment finally came. When the remnants of Jia Qingyun and Ni Sigui's troops finally appeared on the horizon, Jiang Xujing was almost unable to cry. Just a moment ago, relying on the two rounds of the airship team's coverage bombing and the continuous concentrated attack of the heavy equipment battalion, Chi Lei's right wing finally broke through Jiang Xujing's left wing. Because the scout cavalry was not good at fighting, Chi Lei led mainly the mixed troops of the Tieyun Cavalry and Jingyun Cavalry, and he was always unfamiliar with it. When Tan Weiran kindly handed over the bow cavalry battalion that had been used as a reserve team in the middle to Chi Lei, Chi Lei was good
It seemed like I suddenly discovered the feeling of attack. The kind of attack that was about to retreat at a touch, and then constantly relying on killing to make the enemy's troops empty, and then launching a interlude charge was very difficult and very agile. I noticed that Chi Lei suddenly progressed smoothly. Dai Shihuan, who was commanding at the front, Ye Tao on the command tower, Tan Weiran on the middle, and even Chi Lei himself asked him to strengthen the way. The consequence of the strengthening was that he actually drilled through the military formation of the Zhenbei Army Division, and Chi Lei personally led a cavalry team of 2,000 people directly inserted behind the enemy...
