Chapter 37 Kill back
"Send the order!"
Wei Guang thought of the consequences of withdrawing his troops, and became angry. He ordered in a cold voice: "Attack! Take down Rushan Pass!"
attack?
Upon hearing this order, all the generals present were stunned.
Especially Zhang Yun, he knew that the granary was destroyed and the logistics were inadequate. If he attacked rashly now and failed to quickly take the mountain pass and was delayed for a few days, the fate of the hundreds of thousands of troops would be a devastating disaster.
"Absolutely not!"
Zhang Yun quickly reminded: "General, this is too risky!"
How to attack when the food and supplies are destroyed?
Withdraw!
This is the most rational decision!
In this attack, apart from the loss of several generals and more than 17,000 soldiers, they suffered no serious losses and were fully capable of organizing the next attack.
It won’t be too late to launch an attack on Xingzhou after returning to Liangzhou and collecting enough food and grass!
As for the loss of food and fodder this time, the imperial court can fully afford it.
Nothing less.
During Ye Jiuxing's reign, the government was stable and the people were harmonious, the administration was clean and honest, and he often confiscated people's property, accumulating a rich fortune for the court.
Not to mention an army of more than 300,000, even if a million soldiers were deployed, the logistics would still be sufficient.
"That's too late!"
Wei Guang shook his head.
Withdrawal?
That's a dead end!
die?
Of course he doesn't want to die!
In that case, let’s try again. He still has two or three days of military rations. As long as he can defeat Ye Jiuxing during this period, he will be considered a success.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Wei Guang saw the generals standing there, his face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Attack! We must capture the mountain pass before the sun sets today!"
"promise!"
Upon hearing the order, all the generals immediately returned to the army and prepared to command the army to attack the city.
boom!
at the same time.
Zhu Wu suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of divine light burst out, successfully breaking through the Yin-Yang realm.
Bai Qi saw him break through, and then glanced at the generals of Dayu in action, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! They are going to attack the city! However, it is not right to attack the city at this time."
He could see that Wei Guang came here today to fight with the generals.
Why the sudden attack?
Is it
Bai Qi thought of Cao Chun leading his army into Liangzhou, squinted his eyes, and thought to himself: "General Cao was in Liangzhou, and attacked the enemy's important stronghold, forcing Wei Guang to attack in a hurry?"
What was the attack?
"forage!"
Bai Qi thought about it and slowly uttered two words.
Only when the granary was attacked would Wei Guang panic and take action at all costs.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi smiled.
He has found a way to defeat the enemy!
"kill!"
Outside the city, the commander of the vanguard army roared and led the army to rush towards Rushan City.
Still 30,000 people!
yesterday.
After returning to the camp, he asked Wei Guang for more than 17,000 people to complete the establishment.
Thirty thousand people!
Only when the troops are fully staffed can the strongest army-breaking formation be deployed.
However, compared with yesterday's siege, the strength displayed by the vanguard army at this time was much weaker.
On the one hand, the supplementary soldiers were weak.
On the other hand, the coordination was not tacit enough and the power of the military formation could not be fully mobilized.
An army of thirty thousand soldiers marched forward towards the mountain city.
Blood and killing soared to the sky.
It was like a blood dragon with bared fangs and claws, extremely ferocious and able to tear apart all obstacles.
"Fire arrows!"
Bai Qi looked at the enemy below and said coldly.
shhhhhh!
The words fell.
More arrows were shot out from the sky, emitting dazzling red light, and exploded when they hit the army formation.
This time, the vanguard army did not switch the defensive formation.
The soldiers could only raise their shields for defense and charge forward.
"what!"
Immediately, many vanguard soldiers were shot and nailed to the ground, emitting screams of pain that echoed continuously.
At least thousands of people fell in a pool of blood. Since both sides were warriors, the sacrifices were greater, the number of deaths was higher, and it was bloodier.
"Continue the attack!"
"Anyone who retreats will be killed!"
Wei Guang's face suddenly changed, but he quickly regained his composure and ordered in a cold voice: "Capture Rushan Pass at all costs!"
The generals had no choice but to go and supervise the battle in person.
They couldn't understand why Wei Guang, who was against the use of human wave tactics yesterday, suddenly went against his usual behavior and launched a fierce attack into the mountain pass today?
They vaguely guessed that something big might have happened in the rear.
But what exactly happened?
Zhang Yun might know.
They have some judgment in their hearts.
However, they did not dare to ask or confirm it, because once they knew the truth, it might disrupt the morale of the army and they would not even have the courage to fight again.
The war continues.
People kept falling down and closing their eyes forever.
Then someone else stepped on the corpses, rushed forward, and quickly approached the city wall.
But not long after, they were also killed and fell in a pool of blood.
death!
charge!
Death
It became the main theme of this battle.
Liangzhou.
On a certain plain.
A war is also breaking out at this moment.
Cao Chun led three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry out of Jianfeng Pass, headed south, and attacked the potential. After several days, they finally found the granary.
Wei Guang attached great importance to the granary, placing it in the hinterland of Yongzhou. He also mobilized 50,000 local second-line troops and set up a multi-layered defense line.
Fifty thousand troops!
This is a strong force!
If an ordinary army encounters this, they can only shake their heads and take a detour, not daring to engage in direct conflict.
This is also the reason why Wei Guang felt unbelievable when he heard that the granary was attacked.
I left behind an army of fifty thousand men.
Is there anyone planning to attack the granary?
Have you eaten the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard?
Unfortunately, despite Wei Guang's numerous defenses, he failed to defend against Cao Chun, and he never imagined that Cao Chun had three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under his command.
Three thousand soldiers with the lowest cultivation level, all in the Purple Mansion Realm.
Plus the main general Cao Chun.
Such strength.
There is no need to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege us, we can come and go freely.
"burn!"
"Burn all the food and fodder!"
Cao Chun rode on a dragon horse, his body full of blood, and shuttled through the granary, shouting orders.
boom!
Clusters of flames shot up into the sky.
Gradually they connected into a whole piece, and before long, the entire camp was on fire, illuminating half the sky.
At this time, a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came up to Cao Chun, bowed and saluted, and said, "General, an enemy general has escaped. Should we pursue him?"
"Need not!"
Cao Chun looked into the distance and said with a smile: "I let him go on purpose! If he hadn't left, how could Wei Guang go crazy?"
They don't have enough foundation!
Unlike the Dayu court, which can easily dispatch a dozen Yin-Yang realm warriors and hundreds of thousands of troops.
With Bai Qi around, it would be almost impossible for Wei Guang to capture Rushan Pass.
But delay will lead to changes.
The longer you wait, the more things will change.
The court is not stupid.
Zhao Wan'er is not a fool at all.
If the front line becomes deadlocked, they will immediately send in reinforcements.
If Empress Zhao Wan'er made up her mind to start a national war, she might not be able to hold out in the mountain pass.
Therefore, he occupied the granary and destroyed the food supplies in the shortest possible time.
but.
not enough.
Cao Chun looked at the burned food and grass, then looked towards the north and ordered in a deep voice: "The army will rest. In two hours, follow me and return to Xingzhou."
