As for the fall of Tongzhou and the proportion of troops lost by both sides, Cassimbas later said this when talking to Haruka Jinxi: The difference between the elite division and the ordinary army is that during the battle, the ordinary army suffered a loss of 20% and at most 30%.
Morale will drop sharply. When the loss rate reaches half, no matter how the army leader threatens and induces, it is impossible for this army to take the initiative to enter the battlefield. And even after the elite division has lost half of its morale, the morale will still remain.
Quite high. Of course, the kind of army that fights to the end and still fights to the end is beyond the category of elite, but an iron army that is completely indestructible.
The difference between generals and commanders is that they lead their elite divisions against powerful enemies. Under the same circumstances, generals will lose more than half of their troops after annihilating the enemy, while commanders will only lose 23/10 or even less. The Battle of Tongzhou
, if Yelu Chixian had not broken through, then at least more than 30,000 soldiers in Hetao would have died in the battle. Yelu Wanhong's qualifications were average, and Dugu Yuming, the attacker, was the leading siege master in the entire Eastern Continent, and all the soldiers in Hetao were also qualified.
An invincible force that has experienced hundreds of battles. Considering the actual situation of the defenders in the city, it is extremely rare for Yelu Wanhong to be able to achieve this level.
Yao Jinxi asked with some confusion: Commander, if you are the coach of Tongzhou, how long can you hold on?
Cassimbas did not speak, but his expression said everything. As long as he still had breath, he believed that he would be able to persevere to the end.
After taking Tongzhou and blocking the connection between Taihang Road and the outside of the Great Wall, Hetao no longer had any worries. More than 400,000 troops slowly advanced to the foot of Zhizhou City and faced off with Cassimbas in the city. However, Hetao did not directly attack the city.
, after all, there is still Cassimbas in the city. Moreover, most of the famous generals from the three northeastern countries have been gathered in Zhizhou City. Even if Haotian has confidence in the powerful army under his command, he does not dare to take them.
adventure.
"Now, it's time for Cassimbas to go home and recuperate." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
Haotian nodded. If he did not drive away Cassimbas, he really had no confidence in resolving the war in the Sixteenth State of Youyun within a month. The actions of the three Northeastern countries were very unusual, and it was obvious that there was some conspiracy. But
Hetao is now unable to detect the opponent's plan, and it is difficult to get off the tiger. Therefore, it is necessary to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun in the shortest possible time. At the worst, all the military forces of the three Northeastern countries except the Great Wall defense line must be wiped out before wintering.
After taking Tongzhou, the 400,000 Yun army in Hetao could finally unscrupulously threaten the nearly 300,000 Northeastern Allied Forces in Zhizhou City. Although the Northeastern Allied Forces were huddled in Zhizhou City, they did not completely leave the city. After all, the material reserves in Zhizhou City were limited, so
, many supplies, such as grain and grass, still need to be transported to Zhizhou through Juyongguan. The team responsible for transporting these strategic supplies has become the target of attack by the Hetao army.
Starting from mid-August, more than 200,000 cavalrymen in Hetao have covered almost every inch of land from Zhizhou to Juyongguan. Beiyuan Road is the territory of Baijing. It stands to reason that under internal operations, the Baijing Dynasty should occupy considerable geographical advantages.
Yes. However, Hetao has no mercy at all for the people who worship Beijing on Beiyuan Road. Wherever the horses' hooves come and the butcher's knife points, corpses pile up in mountains and blood flows into rivers. Without the support of local people, the Northeastern Allied Forces in Zhizhou City are just like the Hetao Cavalry.
, all with a black eye. However, the Hetao cavalry had an absolute advantage after all. Under their full blockade, the Northeastern Allied Forces in Zhizhou City completely became a trapped beast. If it were not for not having enough time, Hetao would even
Able to turn Zhizhou into the original Tongzhou.
Half a month later, Hetao finally received the long-awaited good news. Due to overwork, Kasimbas, the undefeated and famous marshal in Beijing, suddenly spewed blood and fainted while handling military affairs. This time, military doctors in Zhizhou City rescued him.
It took at least a day before the eighty-year-old man was brought back from hell. However, with Cassimbas's mental state, it is impossible to stay in his position now. The only option is to return to China to recuperate.
"It is indeed good news! Soul Eater is so good that he can even find out such news. Haha, if we can detect the route and time of Kasimbas' return to the country, we can set up an ambush and kill this old man earlier.
That's perfect!" When Jiang Chenzhou heard the news, he jumped up excitedly. Guanying beside him just smiled. In order to detect the news, Soul Eater lost at least ten outstanding warriors.
Xin gave him a blank look and said viciously: "Would you like to give you a pillow so that you can have a sweet dream?"
Jiang Chenzhou fell silent. Xin Ke was his old leader, and when he was scolded by his old superior, he naturally did not dare to refute. When Lou Jing saw this, he immediately laughed. Jiang Chenzhou was furious, and regardless of the military meeting currently being held, he just punched
Swinging towards Lou Jing.
With a "bang", Lou Jing received a solid punch from Jiang Chenzhou, but he did not show any anger at all, he just smiled. Being an old comrade for many years, he naturally knew what kind of person Jiang Chenzhou was.
Xin was also furious. Haotian and he were still sitting aside. How dare this kid be so arrogant. If he and the others were not here, would he want to poke a big hole in the sky? He immediately grabbed Jiang Chenzhou's neck and swung his arm.
, Jiang Chenzhou's nearly two hundred kilogram body had been thrown out of the camp.
"Let's get some air outside first! If you still can't calm down, go back to the Loop and change seats in Zhanshu Hall!" Xin Ke shouted angrily. Jiang Chenzhou originally wanted to snort, but when he heard this, he didn't dare to say more.
Who doesn't know that staying in the Loop is just to watch the stalls? How can it be so colorful as fighting outside?
When everyone in the camp saw this, they didn't know what to say. Jiang Chenzhou was certainly a little more undisciplined, but Xin Ke's move didn't seem to be much better, right? However, Xin Ke's identity was different after all.
Haotian didn't say anything, and everyone just smiled kindly. Only Dugu took advantage of Haotian not paying attention, and quietly made a gesture of support to the letter.
Haotian also smiled cheerfully, and when he saw that everyone was almost laughing, he said: "Xinke, you should also sit down. Now you are one of the most senior generals in our Hetao, how can you do this? If the news comes back to your eldest sister
In my ears, I will inevitably scold you again."
Xinke was not afraid of heaven or earth, but he was just afraid of God's will. Thinking of God's expectant eyes, Xinke couldn't help but shrink his neck. If he angered his lord, the most he could do was kick himself. Anyway, he was thick-skinned, so he wasn't afraid.
It hurts. But God's will is different. God's will never gets angry at himself and Feng Jing. Every time, he looks at the two of them with sad and almost desperate eyes, which makes him want to find a hole in the ground to burrow down.
After seeing the letter and remaining silent, Haotian said: "It is inevitable that Cassimbas will return to China. If nothing else happens, the person who will succeed him will be either Hekimul or Jin Xiangliang. Of course, Jin Xiangliang is more likely.
If this is really the case, then we must prepare for battle immediately."
Everyone laughed again. It stands to reason that there are not a few people in Zhizhou City who can compete with Jin Xiangliang. Yelu Chixian from Mandan, Yelu Wanxi, Heji Mu'er from Beijing, Yao Jinxi and Huan Fuchuan, and Jin Zongbiao from Haixi.
However, except for Jin Xiangliang, all the others were defeated by Hetao.
Yelu Chixian was guarding the Taihang Road that day, with an army of 200,000, but now there are more than 20,000 defeated troops except Leng Fangbu, and he has almost become the bare commander. The entire five states of the Taihang Road, except Yunzhou, are temporarily controlled due to geographical factors.
In the hands of the Mandan, the four states of Wu, Tong, Jin, and Xuan have been completely lost. As for Yeluwanxi, one hundred thousand Mandan reinforcements were killed by the Hetao without a single battle in his hands, and regardless of their qualifications,
Still, the prestige is quite insufficient, so naturally it is not considered.
Yao Jinxi is a good piece of material. In the eyes of the Hetao military, among the three Northeastern countries, apart from Kasimbas, only Yao Jinxi is a headache. This person is talented, qualified, and has the heart of the military. However, this Baijing successor
After Cassimbas, the famous general who is most likely to become the backbone of the Beijing army is really not very lucky. From Yuzhou Road to Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture, he has never been able to get a good deal from the hands of Hetao. Over the years, every time he and Hetao
In a confrontation, Yao Jinxi has never won. Although this is a common phenomenon among the generals of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, Yao Jinxi is just an ordinary one among the many unlucky generals. However, Yao Jinxi also bears the blame for the failure of the Battle of Xuzhou.
That day, Kasimbas was seriously injured and fainted in the decisive battle with Tiezhen. Yao Jinxi temporarily took over the command of the army and continued to implement Kasimbas's strategic plan. However, he was really unlucky, and the coach of Hetao he faced
Haotian is obviously a fool who doesn't play by common sense. He actually attacked with all his troops regardless of the cost, and ultimately failed. The three Northeastern countries did not dare to cause trouble for Cassimbas, but they would not give up on the scapegoat Haruka Jinxi. If
If it weren't for Cassimbas' support, Yao Jinxi would still be Trixbus' deputy in Juyongguan.
Although Huan Fuchuan was a veteran of the previous era, he was killed by Hetao in the first battle after his comeback. Therefore, he did not have much prestige in the army.
Jin Zongbiao is regarded as the most outstanding general in Haixi, but like Yao Jinxi, he has suffered repeated defeats. In addition, Jin Xiangliang's current brilliance naturally completely overshadowed him.
Of course, Hetao has made a lot of efforts to bring General Jin Xiangliang to power. In the past half month, as long as Jin Xiangliang was responsible for escorting logistics supplies, Hetao would turn a blind eye and kill with blood.
Said, that is, everyone is not going out to fight, but just practicing. As for other people, Hetao is not so generous. As soon as they get the news, more than 100,000 cavalry will immediately join in like wolves.
Even a piece of steel would crush him. Because of this, Jin Xiangliang's reputation became even more prominent.
Haotian cleared his throat and continued: "Everyone, the news is good and bad. Cassimbas has finally fallen, which is a good thing. However, the rest of the news is not so good."
Everyone's expressions were startled. They all knew the current situation in Hetao. Although the Great Wall defense line was already at war, everyone did not take it seriously. As long as Tie Ying Qiu Ming's 300,000 coalition troops could not break through Yumen Pass, they could not threaten them at all.
To the safety of Hetao. Situ Lie, the commander-in-chief of the Yumen Pass war zone, is also a battle-hardened warrior. Not only are there 60,000 elite warriors in the pass, but there are also the Longxiang Legion led by Wu Xiaolangjun and 20,000 infantrymen in the nearby Miyun City.
Shang Uma has been neutralized, so there is no need to worry here at all.
As for the west, Jiayuguan Pass is known as the most powerful pass in the world. Its defensive power can be said to be the best in China. The commander-in-chief of the Jiayuguan War Zone, Chunjian Shang, not only has 50,000 soldiers of the Golden Eagle Legion, but also 50,000 soldiers of the Mushan Division of the Rock Army.
Soldiers can rush to the aid of Jiayuguan at any time. Even if the Western Region coalition forces outside the pass are powerful, it is almost impossible to break through the natural barriers of Jiayuguan.
If that's the case, what kind of bad news is there to make Haotian and Luo Xiang Xuanji so solemn?
"There is not much real bad news." Luo Xiang said calmly: "First of all, there is another change in the Dongwa Navy Army."
Zhang Xingxing asked doubtfully: "What does their unusual behavior have to do with us?" Zeng Dan and others quickly nodded in agreement. They were all cavalrymen, especially Greenis and others who were born in the Bloody Plateau.
I have no impression of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty outside of China.
Instead, Cheng Xiangxi opened his mouth and asked: "Sir, does Dongbo have plans to land on Donghai Road?"
Luo Xiang smiled approvingly. Among the third-level generals in Hetao, the most outstanding was naturally Lu Zhen. But now it seems that Cheng Xiangxi is not far behind him. This person is from the actual combat faction, but he has profound theoretical knowledge.
The young man with strong skills immediately understood what he meant. The Eastern Japanese were isolated overseas, and the Holy Sect of Paradise was now suffering heavy losses. The Eastern Japanese forces on Yangzhou Road and Huaihe River Road had been uprooted by the Hetao, and this time the navy and army acted simultaneously.
, obviously planning to land in China.
Dugu frowned and asked, "What is the current specific strength of Dongbo's troops?"
Meng Xiaoting stood up quickly and said: "According to the information from Soul Eater, the total strength of the Eastern Japanese troops is now about 450,000. Among them, the naval force is 200,000. It is divided into four parts. The leader of the Eastern Japanese Kingdom, Dekang, is convinced.
His son Dekonzouzov led a navy of 30,000 men to garrison at Shimonoseki, Dagang, west of East Japan. This place had been burned down once by Mistress Yuewan, but it has now been restored to its previous level. The deputy commander of the navy, Saburo Ogame, led a navy of 20,000 men.
The navy stayed in the coastal area of Yangzhou Road. Another deputy commander Kawamomo Shinoda led 40,000 navy to cruise along the Donghai Road. The main task should be to monitor the Goryeo Navy. Kato Taka personally commanded the 100,000 navy Chen Bing Donghai. In addition, Zhoushan
, there are also some sporadic Eastern Japanese naval forces on Ryukyu and Qiongya and other islands."
Xue Qingcheng said doubtfully: "Isn't General He Bugui's dragon army in the East China Sea and South China Sea? Ogame Saburo only has 20,000 naval troops in his hands, and he has nearly 80,000 soldiers. Why is there no movement at all?"
