The first ones to attack the Bliss Camp were naturally the 50,000 Bloody Plateau Cavalry led by Xue Qingcheng and the 25,000 Hetao Cavalry led by Haotian Xian Lianchen. Due to the negligence of the Bliss soldiers, the Hetao Cavalry easily approached the camp.
Camp. When Hirō was there, many towering archery towers were arranged around the camp, and there were ten archers on each archery tower. If the Bliss army knew about the arrival of the Qingfeng coalition in advance, then with the help of these archers,
Although it is impossible to block the attack of the Qingfeng Cavalry, at least they are condescending and have a large number of arrows, which can cause considerable damage to the opponent and slow down the opponent's attack speed. However, the military discipline of the Bliss Army is really poor.
On the front of the attack, there were originally eight archery towers, but there were no more than twenty archers on these eight archery towers. Feeling, these blissful soldiers used the archery towers as sentries.
Although these archery towers did not cause any harm to the Hetao cavalry, the horse traps and horse-rejecting stakes scattered throughout the Jile camp did a lot of damage to the Hetao cavalry. Pinglang is a cautious and meticulous person, and he is very careful in
When he was stationed here, he expected that there would definitely be a battle with Qingfeng in the future. The Bliss Holy Cult was almost entirely infantry, and although there were many rivers on Yangzhou Road, the terrain was flat, so it was also suitable for cavalry to display their combat effectiveness.
When it comes to infantry versus cavalry, the Paradise Soldiers are not the century-old elites who have been trained for a long time and have rich combat experience and excellent combat traditions like the White Ear Legion. Therefore, if the victory is only a small victory, the defeat will be a big defeat. For this reason, a tie
Lang specially built many fortifications in the camp specifically to deal with cavalry. Being prepared means being prepared, and Pinglang's move really did a great favor to Cheng Xianqing.
Xue Qingcheng and Haotian did not expect that there were so many traps in the Paradise Camp. As a result, the cavalry who rushed at the front suffered a lot at that time, or they directly hit the horse-rejecting stake and were stabbed.
They were dripping with blood. Or they fell into a horse pit, and the war horses stumbled and knocked off the cavalry on their horses. The light cavalry were better. They fell to the ground, which was just a fall, but the heavy cavalry was different.
The armor on their bodies weighed dozens of kilograms in total. As soon as they landed on the ground, their muscles and bones were naturally torn apart. Before they had time to get up, they were trampled to pieces by the two warring parties.
Seeing this situation, Haotian and Xue Qingcheng wisely turned their horses around, avoiding the inside of the camp where the other party had set up numerous traps, and instead besieged the flanks of the camp. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry should be reflected in its speed and breakthrough
Instead of such a dogfight and a war of attrition. As for the main offensive task of taking down the Ji Le Camp, it should be left to Xiang Xing's Eastern Army and Lu Zhen Mu Shan's Hetao Infantry.
With a wave of Haotian's flag, the two cavalrymen immediately split to the left and right, giving way to the front of the army's attack, and killed them diagonally. Lu Zhen and Mu Shan, leading 50,000 Hetao infantry, immediately stepped into the gap.
As the army advanced, it cleared many traps such as horse traps in the camp. However, due to distraction, the speed was naturally a bit slow.
At this time, Cheng Xianqing was standing in the Chinese army camp with a calm face. Hearing the deafening bloodthirsty outside and looking at the raging fire that was already burning, he just stood there without saying a word. No one knew.
What's going on in his mind.
Cheng Xianqing had not thought that he would be weak after Pinglang's army went south, but he never expected that Qingfeng would be so bold. More than a hundred miles southwest of Changyin County was the hundred thousand Ji Le army led by Bing Heng, and
To the north of him, there are 400,000 Northeastern elites from Cassimbas and 200,000 land and sea troops from the Eastern Japanese Dynasty. Together with his own 100,000 soldiers, the total strength of the Paradise Alliance gathered in the north of Yangzhou Road has reached 800,000.
.And I am still in the central area of the 800,000-strong army. Every place is less than a day's journey from me.
Qingfeng's troops on Yuzhou Road are about 150,000 in the Hetao Haotian tribe. This is the most aggressive and combat-effective army among all the troops in the Qingfeng Empire. However, their number is not very large, and they are restricted by various aspects.
Therefore, the danger is not very great; the Li family in Qinchuan has 30,000 naval troops and 200,000 troops stationed, but the Li family's 200,000 troops are stationed on the east and west sides of Yuzhou Road, and the Li family and the Qingfeng royal family are not of the same mind, so temporarily
Not considered; in addition, the Qingfeng Imperial Court assists the Navy in defending the river defense line, the Qinglong Legion, the two reorganized second-line legions, the Dragon Cavalry Legion and the Guards Legion stationed in Tiandu Shengjing, plus the local garrison,
The total strength of the army has exceeded one million. However, this million-strong army does not have a true commander. The three parties are all thinking about their own affairs, and they are also thinking about how to kill each other with swords and consume the strength of the other party. Therefore, although it seems huge, it is also
They are just strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Moreover, according to Kasimbas’s estimation, the only ones that can really compete with the Paradise Alliance army are Haotian’s Hetao headquarters, Xue Qingcheng’s Blood Cavalry, and the Imperial Guard Dragon Cavalry and the Azure Dragon Legion directly under the Qingfeng Royal Family.
As for the Li family's army, although it is considered elite, with Li Tieming's personality, he will definitely not use up all his chips to compete in the world at this time. Therefore, Cheng Xianqing always feels that he seems to be in danger here, but in fact there is nothing wrong with him.
, but I didn’t expect that the lunatic from Hetao actually came, and also brought over the Eastern Legion directly under the Qingfeng Court.
"Master, the current battle situation is very unfavorable. I think it is better for the leader to retreat to a safer place first." At this moment, the commander of the soldiers, Wan Chengdong, stepped forward and said.
Cheng Xianqing waved his hand. For someone like him who has been planning a rebellion all his life and living on the tip of a knife all day long, life and death have long been ignored. Moreover, the dignified leader of the Holy Sect of Bliss controls the five countries under his command.
A powerful man with hundreds of thousands of troops, he actually took the lead in withdrawing when the war started. If word spread, where would he put his old face? Besides, although the Qingfeng Allied Forces had the advantage in strength, Cheng Xianqing was not an easy target.
No matter who the opponent is, he will make the opponent break his two front teeth first.
With a cold snort, Cheng Xianqing said nonchalantly: "Cheng Dong, as the leader of the Holy Sect of Paradise, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front, so naturally I have to beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers. Don't worry, although we
The current situation is somewhat unfavorable, but do you think they really have the strength to destroy our 100,000-strong army?"
"But leader, the opponent's total strength is at least 200,000, including nearly 100,000 cavalry, and most of them are Hetao Haotian's troops. Although there are many defensive facilities in the camp, the opponent only needs to
If you are willing to pay the price, we will undoubtedly lose. Leader, your safety is above all else, so you should leave first." Wan Chengdong said without giving up.
"Leave? If I leave, then this place will really be defeated." Cheng Xianqing said with his head held high. Compared with the soldiers of Hetao, the quality of the soldiers, weapons and equipment, and generals are not at the same level.
Above the level, the most important factor why the Holy Bliss Sect can stand firm despite being surrounded by Qingfeng's heavy soldiers is the fearless momentum and high fighting spirit of the Bliss Soldiers. It is their unswerving support for the Holy Bliss Sect.
The everlasting faith and infinite yearning for a better life in the future. The current war situation is very unfavorable, but as long as Cheng Xianqing stays here, the fighting will of the Bliss soldiers will remain strong, and their spirits will not collapse. And once he
If they leave, they will inevitably feel abandoned. In that case, how can the Ji Le soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit contend with the opponent? Moreover, Qingfeng has such an obvious advantage in cavalry that even if they run away, it is not that easy.
It's safer to stay here.
However, seeing Wan Chengdong still looking worried, Cheng Xianqing couldn't help but smile and pat his shoulder and said: "Don't worry about my safety. Haha, do you think the Qingfeng Alliance Army really dares to take a risk without restraint? Don't forget
To the south of us is the 100,000 elite army led by the military strategist, and to the north of us is the 400,000 Northeastern Allied Forces of Cassimbas. To the northeast of us is the 100,000 Eastern Japanese Army of the 14th Eastern Japanese Guards.
Behind us is the hinterland of our Paradise Holy Cult. The Qingfeng Allied Forces now have the advantage, but they absolutely dare not prolong the battle for too long. It only takes six hours for the Eastern Japanese Army to reach the battlefield.
, and at the same time, the military advisor's 100,000-strong army could immediately move northward and cut off their retreat. Therefore, the real time left for them is no more than six hours."
Wan Chengdong was curious: "Master, the Northeastern Allied Forces of Cassimbas are the closest to us, so what will they do?"
Cheng Xianqing narrowed his eyes, obviously regretting what he had just said, but since his subordinates had already asked, and Wan Chengdong's loyalty was trustworthy, he shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this.
Now is not the time for them to take action."
"But in this way, our brothers will have to face the siege of the opponent's superior force in these few hours. Even if we can sustain it, we will probably suffer heavy casualties," Wan Chengdong said worriedly.
Cheng Xianqing's face darkened: "There must be a price to pay for war. If we can't bear this little hardship, then why should we compete in the Central Plains and fight for hegemony in the world? The army is used to fight, and we have never experienced such a difficult and bloody battle.
Even if they fight hard, they can't become a real steel lion. Look at Hetao Haotian, why he was able to train such an elite army in just two or three years that can challenge the Three Kingdoms of Northeast China. Isn't it because of them?
Has the army been fighting in the most difficult environment and finally won the battle in the face of superior strength? Compared with the Hetao army, our soldiers do not lack courage and belief, but what we lack is the kind of invincibility
Their psychological advantage is the kind of heroism that can level the ground regardless of whether the front is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or a plateau and desert. What they need most now is a victory, even if it is just a tragic victory, or even survive the opponent's attack.
, in that case, they will be able to establish their own beliefs from now on. Given time, they will definitely become an elite division that is not inferior to the Hetao army."
"Yes! The leader." Wan Chengdong said sincerely, but the leader's talent is unmatched by ordinary people, and his courage is enough to inspire the soldiers below.
"Cheng Dong, bring me the drum. I will personally beat the drum to cheer for the soldiers!" Cheng Xianqing smiled proudly. Although the Hetao army is elite and the bloody cavalry is tough, I, the man of Paradise, am not a coward. I will let you guys do it today.
Let's see who has the harder fist.
The battle did not go as smoothly as Haotian imagined. Although the Qingfeng coalition gained the upper hand due to the laxity of the Ji Le soldiers at the beginning, it was only the upper hand. However, Hirō initially set up many defensive facilities in the military camp.
, this brought a lot of trouble to Xue Qingcheng and the Hetao cavalry. The heavy cavalry is suitable for destroying camps, but the premise is that there are not many defensive facilities such as horse traps in the camp. Therefore, the Hetao cavalry is in
After starting to rush into the Paradise Camp, they fell into a dilemma that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. They continued to charge, but the front was either trapped in a horse trap or blocked by a horse pile. If they stopped, the cavalry was not as practical as the infantry.
As soon as he saw something was wrong, Haotian immediately transferred all the cavalry out of the Paradise Camp. According to the nomadic fighting method, they constantly harassed the surroundings of the Paradise Camp. The infantry behind them quickly followed up and fought head-on with the Paradise soldiers.
The soldiers of the Hetao infantry and the Eastern Army attacked from the north and south sides of Ji Le Camp at the same time. The commanders of the Hetao infantry were naturally Lu Zhen and Mu Shan. These two generals had just retreated from the northwest battlefield and were still vaguely alive.
It carries the smell of blood that has not been washed away. Half of the soldiers below are veterans who participated in Bian Zhongxing’s pursuit and annihilation battle in the Western Regions that day, and the rest of the soldiers are all soldiers who performed well in the Jiayuguan defensive battle. Although Bian Zhongxing
I don't know what Haotian's intention is, but he still unswervingly implements Haotian's orders, so the soldiers dispatched are naturally the most elite among the 300,000 soldiers left behind. Of course, they and Hetao
There is still a big gap among veterans of hundreds of battles.
When they first entered the camp, the Hetao army still had a relatively obvious advantage. However, as the Jile army came back to its senses and the more defensive facilities there were in the Jile camp, the pace of the Hetao army gradually slowed down.
According to the estimates of Luo Xiang and Haotian, the combat effectiveness of the Bliss soldiers should be slightly inferior to the veterans of the Hetao headquarters, but it should be at the level of regular imperial armies such as the Qinglong Army and the Southern Army, and should be a little worse than the combat effectiveness of the Three Northeastern Countries. However,
Cheng Xianqing's 100,000 soldiers are the most elite troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Their combat effectiveness should be able to compete with the Hetao headquarters. Compared with the second-rate troops who stayed on the Northwest Third Road in Hetao, their combat effectiveness is naturally stronger. Moreover, the fighting will of the Paradise soldiers is also
No less than the Hetao army, and with the advantages of geographical location and defensive facilities, when the Hetao army rushed into the third line of defense of the Holy Sect of Paradise, they could no longer advance. Lu Zhen and Mu Shan were particularly
What's frustrating is that behind this line of defense, there are at least four lines of defense for the Ji Le Camp, and the place where Cheng Xianqing's Chinese Army Camp is located is just a small city. Both of them were a little dizzy looking at it.
However, compared to the situation of the Eastern Legion, the situation of the Hetao Army is relatively good. Xiang Xing led an army of 100,000 Eastern Legion. Facing the 30,000 soldiers of the Holy Sect who were negligent in defending, they only managed to break through one line of defense.
, it came to a standstill at the second line of defense. After all, the Eastern Legion was a completely rebuilt legion and had never experienced the test of the battlefield. Compared with the most elite protective soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise, it was naturally not a grade behind.
Even if Xiang Xing takes the lead, he still cannot break through the defense line of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
"Lu Zhen, what's the situation now?" Lu Zhen was standing in the middle of the army, cursing anxiously, when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"No." Lu Zhen said without hesitation, but he immediately came to his senses, quickly turned to Haotian and said respectfully: "Lord, why are you here?" He said this
Why is the voice so familiar? It turns out that Haotian is here in person.
Haotian waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that Lu Zhen didn't need to be polite, and then asked: "Mu Shan, why are you here alone?" Haotian himself was originally commanding more than 20,000 cavalry in Hetao.
However, because the Paradise Camp was not suitable for the cavalry to display their combat effectiveness, it caused a lot of casualties. Haotian had no choice but to take all the cavalry out of the camp. And staying on the outer battlefield, Haotian was
He couldn't arouse interest. And if he really wanted to charge into the battle himself, Qiu Mu Xinjiao, Xue Qingcheng and others around him disagreed. After all, Haotian's safety was too important to them. Haotian couldn't resist it.
These women had no choice but to hand over the Hetao cavalry to Xian Lianchen and let her and Xue Qingcheng continue to assist the infantry in encircling the Ji Le army, while they led a group of soldiers, Qiu Mu Xinjiao and others to watch the battle.
Lu Zhen said quickly: "My lord, the previous attack was not going well. Mu Shan personally stepped forward to take command, but it was not ideal either."
Haotian frowned slightly, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and then said: "It seems that the situation is somewhat different from our estimate. I originally thought that none of the four famous generals of Paradise were absent, and the Holy Sect of Paradise was suddenly attacked.
It would be panic and the combat effectiveness would be reduced. But I didn’t expect that the opponent only had 30,000 soldiers and blocked the attack of 50,000 of our soldiers.”
"My subordinates are incompetent, please punish me!" Lu Zhen said with some horror. Since the establishment of the Hetao army, it has been invincible. Even if it faces an enemy several times stronger, it can still fight its way out.
This was the first time that a superior force was used to attack the opponent's unprepared inferior force, but it was still unable to gain the upper hand. Therefore, Lu Zhen was naturally extremely panicked.
Haotian was slightly startled and said quickly: "I'm not blaming you for your poor command, but I'm saying that our initial estimate was a bit off. In fact, we only had one real fight with the Bliss Army, and that was under the command of the Blood Commander, Du Commander and others.
The Battle of Guangshen County. In that battle, although there was not much difference in the strength of our two sides, half of our Ji Le soldiers stationed in Guangshen at that time were replenished from Yangzhou Road after the Jiangzhou Attack and Defense Battle.
Recruit, it was at night, so we won. It seems that we underestimated the Holy Bliss Cult too much."
