Xiangqiong originally discussed with Yue Xuan that he would lead the main force to attack Batu City, while Yue Xuan would guard the rear of Yeliang City. Firstly, it would prevent the occupied city from happening, and secondly, it would be able to coordinate with the frontline troops, allowing them to attack or retreat.
But now, in order to attack Batu City immediately, Xiangqiong also mobilized most of the reserve army formations to the front line.
Of course, there are many monks in the army. In this era, the status of monks in various sects is very special, because they are all people who have mastered some kind of secret method of cultivation and possess magical powers. Although from a certain perspective, they are still mortals.
, there is no essential difference from other creatures in the world.
But after all, they have embarked on the road to transcendence. Of course, the vast majority of monks believe that they are different from ordinary people in the world, and that they are more precious than ordinary people. If it is not absolutely necessary or fate is involved, many monks will try to avoid being involved in it.
Entering the disaster of war. Even if you have magical powers, you will still die by swords in a fierce battle between armies.
But nothing is absolute. The army will definitely bring monks with it. There are two main situations. The first is like Panhu. He is the general in the army and his responsibilities are his. How can he not go to the battlefield at this time? The second situation
They were monks who were recruited by the king, and they were often called "co-workers with the army".
These monks either serve in the country and must obey the king's orders; or they are trained by major clan forces and accept conscription on behalf of the clan to serve the king;
That's all. The soldiers accompanying the army will also go to the front line, but usually they will not directly charge at the front of the military formation. Instead, they are the focus of the army's protection.
Gonggong with the army has many tasks, such as leading civilians and soldiers to build fortifications, and building and repairing various armor and equipment. Without their help, the frontline army would not be able to build various siege vehicles in a short period of time. Gonggong with the army also has many tasks.
An important task is to heal wounds, and use magical powers in a timely manner to stop bleeding and bandage injured soldiers who have been withdrawn from the front line, regulate vitality, and prevent wound suppuration and infection.
Not to mention serious injuries, even minor injuries can often kill people if the wounds are not treated in time. With the help of the army, Gonggong has greatly reduced the death rate of frontline soldiers. It can also quickly restore the combat effectiveness of many lightly injured soldiers.
.For example, in Shaowu's army, there are many monks from elder sects. They are good at refining medicine and healing wounds. They are responsible for treating the wounded on the front line.
Of course, the army Gonggong will go to the battlefield when necessary, but they will not stand directly at the front of the military formation and charge. Instead, they will use various magical powers and spells to attack the opponent's military formation under the cover of the military formation. But it is also very dangerous at this time.
Dangerous, if they break up or fight together, they may also suffer casualties.
And Xiangqiong decided to gather together with a group of soldiers, and they formed a charge in the front siege formation, and together they used magical powers to break a gap in the city wall. The faces of the generals almost turned dark when they heard this, but they
Knowing that the decision made by the monarch at this moment could no longer be refuted, he did not disobey or dissuade him.
…
The pass between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain has been occupied by Xiangqiong's army, and the barracks and fortifications have been reduced to ruins. The soil in many places has been soaked with blood. Now the damaged barracks have been simply repaired, and Yuexuan sent military formations
Stationed here to ensure the smooth delivery of logistical military supplies.
The mountains on both sides of the pass are high and densely forested. In a peak to the southeast, in a secret place not far from the top of the mountain. General Beitao is sitting there quietly. This general has been sitting there for many days. If it were not during the war, he would even
People may mistakenly think that he is practicing in seclusion.
The two elite military formations trained by the Beidao clan in the Pengshan forbidden area were recently sent to this pass to reinforce Bao Qizheng. They also covered the defenders' withdrawal into Batu City. However, the Beidao clan did not follow the military formations.
, he had restrained his breath and remained motionless these days. He was just taking some elixirs to regulate his qi while in the state of fasting.
The Beidao family saw all the mobilization of Xiangqiong's army and silently calculated in their hearts. In an age without writing, it did not mean that people could not record information and calculate, nor did it mean that people were not smart enough. In the case of Beidao,
The level of cultivation of General Shi. He uses mental arithmetic to calculate clearly what is needed for the frontline war.
Beidao clan has been observing how many soldiers Xiangqiong brought through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangrenshan, how much food and military supplies were transported, at what time and in how many batches they arrived. After so many days of fierce fighting, how many wounded were withdrawn from the front line?
How much is the consumption ahead, and how many remaining personnel and materials should be left.
When Xiangqiong's army mobilized a large number of reserve army formations from Yeliang City in the rear and rushed to the front line of Batu City, Beidao couldn't help but his eyes lit up. These army formations only carried ordnance. In addition to their own use, they also had to replenish the ones that had been consumed and damaged by the front line.
Arrows and armor. However, the military rations that Xiangqiong has hoarded on the front line are currently only enough for three to five days, and will continue to be transported from the rear.
Now that Xiangqiong has mobilized so many reserve army formations at once, according to marching practice, without a military food and baggage convoy to follow, the soldiers march with only two days of dry food, which is enough for them to reach the barracks assembled in front. Supplementary
With so many soldiers, there are also so many more mouths to eat every day.
It is not possible to resupply on the spot outside Batu City, and including these new military formations, the military rations that Xiangqiong has hoarded at the front line may be used up in three days. Therefore, within these three days, they must be transported from the rear in time.
The general Yue Xuan, who was guarding Yeliang Town in the rear, was certainly not a fool. This batch of reserve army formations was sent out, and the convoy transporting military supplies would soon pass through the passes of Pengshan and Zhangrenshan. It should be within three days. It was already in the dark.
After waiting for many days, Beidao finally stood up, turned around and walked towards higher ground. He would assemble another military formation lurking in the mountains - a military formation that could not be considered a military formation.
There were originally two military formations stationed in the Pengshan forbidden area, and they had all been involved in the battle some time ago. If even the country could not be saved, what could be saved about the nine dragon-blood treasure trees and medicinal fields deep in Pengshan?
In addition to the two military formations, the Pengshan forbidden area has always been guarded by monks from various sects in the country, because there are not only medicinal fields that everyone has jointly cultivated over the years, but also a treasured place for cultivation. After General Beidao guarded Pengshan
, also ordered these monks to cooperate with the military formation drills, and used their superb cultivation and strong methods to suppress these people and organize them.
These monks come from various sects in the Bashi Kingdom. They are all cultivated in the four realms, and there are more than thirty people in total. If it were in the past, they probably would not be willing to take the initiative to get involved in the war. They have not held formal official positions in the country.
It is okay to contribute appropriately to the country or the city, but it may not be worth it to work hard.
When Xiangqiong's soldiers entered the country, General Beidao issued an order: Those who are willing to leave can leave, but they will no longer receive rewards from the Bashi Kingdom. In the future, these people will also receive tribute from the Bashi Kingdom to their sect.
They will lose the qualifications to enjoy themselves in the sect. In the future, their children and grandchildren will no longer be appointed in each city. Their direct descendants will have to wait two generations before they can be rewarded and appointed.
As for those who are willing to stay, the Beidao Clan will organize them into a new military formation, and they will not have any contact with the outside world for the time being. They must obey the Beidao Clan's orders and take action once, just this time, but they must do everything possible.
Try your best. As long as you do this, you will be rewarded afterwards. Even if the monk himself does not care about the rewards, the Bashi Kingdom will also confer a title on his son.
Even if I am a monk, no one can guarantee that my descendants will be able to enter the first level and practice, let alone most of their family members are ordinary people. And even if they have cultivation, they will not be able to reach this level in this life.
The hope of ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal is extremely slim. It is impossible to completely leave the support of the secular city walls, and it is impossible not to deal with the city walls and the people.
The Beidao clan wants these monks to help. They can refuse, but in the future, don't think about the benefits that Chengjie and Bashi Kingdom will continue to offer. If they agree to help, not only will all the services remain as usual, but military merit and rewards will be counted separately, they will also be given
Even if the monk himself has no children, he can designate a descendant in the clan to receive the title of nobility.
When the young minister recruited the casual cultivators from the country to serve, he also gave the same conditions. It was just that the Beidao clan added a clause to sever their future support and rewards based on the special circumstances of the Pengshan forbidden area. All these thirty-odd cultivators were
They stayed. In fact, they had received a message from the elders of each sect some time ago, and they would try their best to serve the country of Ba on behalf of each sect.
…
Xiangqiong ordered the monks to go to the front line to participate in the charge, and mobilized reserve army formations for reinforcements. After the army was completed, he immediately launched an unprecedented fierce attack. The army attacked the city from three directions at the same time, attacking the north gate in one place and the north gate in another.
East Gate, one attack on the city wall between the North Gate and the East Gate.
Bashi's national workers, Zhengshrike and Fuzheng, and soldiers were standing on a high platform erected in the center of the capital. Listening to the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the city wall, they kept giving orders to mobilize soldiers and civilians to defend the city. An army formation suffered too many casualties and was withdrawn.
After coming down, another army formation immediately took up the place. Obviously, what they encountered today was an unprecedented attack since the beginning of the war, and the defenders of Batu City were under tremendous pressure.
Fu Zheng frowned and said: "Xiangqiong must have received the latest battle report from the master. He became ruthless and wants to decide on a fight."
Bing Zhengdao: "Three places are attacking the city at the same time. It should be two feint attacks and one main attack. Where will Xiangqiong choose the breakthrough point?"
Shrike pondered: "According to common sense, of course we have to attack one city gate in order to break through the city. But I think those two city gates may be cooperating with the feint attack, and Xiangqiong actually wants to break through the northeastern part of the city wall."
Bing Zheng was surprised and said: "Break the city wall directly? Why does Lord Shrike make such a judgment?"
Shrike raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "Because the wind is blowing from the northeast today, there are a batch of secret treasures that Xiangqiu has not used. If they are to be taken out, the wind direction needs to be coordinated... I will lead the workers from various countries to the northeast to provide warning, and the two adults will stay here to give command.
." After saying this, his figure turned into a ray of light and shadow, floating towards the northeast.
Shrike took a traditional artifact, which is an artifact that contains the magical power of flying. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
