Chapter five hundred and fiftieth not to be underestimated
Lucheng.
The Iron Front Army can only block the East and South Gate.
It is backed by the mountain in the north, and there is an official road leading directly to Licheng.
There are also Xiangyuan Liao army coming to help in the east.
Chen Feng was not afraid of field battles, but he could attack Lucheng, but he was willing but not strong enough.
The battlefield has not been cleared yet, and the casualties report of his own home is a bit shocking.
"Hiss, two hundred and seventy-six people died in battle?"
"More than 3,000 minor and serious injuries?"
Chen Feng took a breath.
There were only more than 40,000 Liao cavalry counterattacks.
He led the team of the Generals of the Jiageng region who were temporarily strengthened.
He has 30,000 troops!
Later, his younger brother Chen Yun sent two guerrilla troops to reinforce.
Both sides want to be the force of troops.
They failed to completely wipe out the enemy army, and their own losses...
Extremely heartache!
Guerrilla Chen Yuan sighed with a big yellow bow.
"We're at a disadvantage in this broken thing."
"Who could have thought?"
"There is actually ten thousand iron cavalry wearing stair armor and holding big yellow crossbows in Yelu Hanhai's tribe?"
"According to the past, our light cavalry approached 60 steps before they were injured by the small bow and armor-breaking arrow."
"I don't have to worry about heavy riding armor, forty or fifty steps."
"But the big yellow crossbow is different. You can shoot through forty armor within a hundred steps."
The heavy cavalry guerrilla officer Liang Zuo's qi was soothing.
"Over seventy deaths were killed by our heavy rider and more than one hundred of them were severely damaged."
"I checked it all, it was all caused by the Great Yellow Bow."
"An unprecedented loss!"
Chen Feng was in a heavy mood.
All of them have iron armor, which is slightly inferior to the large yellow bow of the monkey version of the composite crossbow.
Even the arrows are specially made.
This is just a partial army of the Liao army that surrounded and suppressed the bandits.
The main force of the Liao army besieged the capital.
How large is the proportion of such equipment?
The Liao Kingdom has a vast land and abundant iron ore, and can really be equipped on a large scale with a poor country's strength.
It wasn't that the proportion was so high before, it wasn't that they couldn't afford it.
But the enemy they face is too weak.
"We have to be careful in the future."
"We can't stop the Liao army from expanding the Great Yellow Bow, and there is also the Great Yellow Crossbow that is extremely threatening!"
Chen Feng pondered: "We must think of a way to effectively defend and reduce losses."
"Forget it, report the casualties."
"This kind of headache problem should be left to the Grand Governor."
"In one battle, we destroyed seven or eight thousand of the most elite iron-armored cavalry of the Liao army."
"At least, the war horses they equipped are very good."
"It is a powerful supplement to our heavy riding!"
Hearing this, several guerrilla generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing a strong enemy, the death rate of the Iron Front Army is still controllable.
Most of the injured can be cured.
At least, the iron-armored cavalry that destroyed the Tatars in the future will have a much better harvest than ordinary light cavalry.
At this time, Yelu Hanhai in Lucheng was so distressed that he was about to cry.
"What?"
"The iron armored cavalry lost more than 7,600 people?"
"Changshengtian, how did I explain to the prince?"
The troops and horses went south only equipped a total of 60,000 cavalry.
Last year, the Iron Front Army also snatched away five thousand sets of elite iron armor and rhubarb crossbows.
In other words, I ruined one-fifth of it.
Even if the King of Yingzhou does not pursue the matter, he will be exposed to His Majesty.
This level is not easy to pass.
On the contrary, only half of the troops retreated into Lucheng were left.
The one who lost the most was the Haner Army.
The court really doesn't pay much attention to it.
The most of the sixteen states in Youyun are the young and strong Han people.
It is said that the reserve cannon fodder in training is as high as one million.
Leather armor, with a Pu sword and a spear, is easy to make for the Liao Kingdom.
But the iron armor and the yellow crossbow were so hard.
There are materials and manpower.
The production cycle is too long, so the cost is so high.
If it weren't for pulling back a huge amount of wealth from the occupied area.
Your Majesty can't make such a big deal.
"Tell me, how should I deal with the Iron Front Army outside the city?"
When Yelu Hanhai saw a group of dejected generals, he was furious.
"Isn't it just a defeat?"
"you……"
Deputy Commander Qilian Hague quickly stood up and said.
"Good man! "
"The Iron Front Army's equipment is even better than our Iron Armored Cavalry."
"What's more, we are born at a disadvantage when we use steps to ride."
"It's already a victory to be able to withdraw so many people."
"Even if the King of Yingzhou and His Majesty know the truth, we cannot blame us."
"Who will be the same?"
Yelu Hanhai certainly knew it.
But I have to think of a solution!
Half of the men and horses were lost in one battle, and hundreds of thousands of loads of food and grass were left.
Faced with the good situation of the bandits, it will be put into action.
He was really unwilling to give up.
"Get Licheng, Xiangyuan, Wuxiang to pacify all the war horses, well, and iron armor."
"Send all to Lucheng."
"We don't lack knights, so let's ride against horses!"
"If it's not enough, just adjust from Taiyuan."
"The northern road is open, and there are not so many Tiefeng soldiers going to take advantage of our retreat."
Qilian Hague reminded.
"It will take time to draw war horses and run-in cavalry."
"Let's guard the city first."
"The most urgent task is to understand."
"Are the Iron Front Army passing by?"
"Are you colluding with Yang Chengliang?"
"If it's the former, they will have to leave after a few days."
"I heard that Zhao Guiyi from Chanzhou is very rampant, so I don't believe it."
"Shen Lin leads the army outside, aren't you worried about the safety of the old nest?"
Yelu Hanhai nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
He and Yelu Daming's navy have been packed up several times by the Iron Front Army.
As it turns out.
If the Iron Front Army was just passing by.
Generally, they will leave if they take advantage of the situation, and will never be delayed.
There are also many newly trained Han'er troops in Hedong.
The lost people will be compensated soon.
It does not affect the army's continued attack on Yang Chengliang.
If those two bastards hooked up together.
Then you have to be careful.
The cavalry can't attack the city, but Yang Chengliang's bandits can do it for him!
Lao Yang is not short of people either.
When the soldiers and armor outside are taken back, there will be no more than 70,000 or 80,000 bandits in a blink of an eye?
At that time, the form was completely reversed.
It was Yang Chengliang's turn to lead an army of 160,000 to besiege Lucheng.
What's even more terrifying is that.
The Iron Front Army can free up their hands to surround and attack support.
How many reinforcements will be given in vain.
Not to be defeated by each one?
Thinking of this, cold sweat appeared on Yelu Hanhai's forehead.
"The Hague, arrange someone to investigate immediately."
"Look for help from the spy department!"
"Abide by the order!"
Yang Chengliang released Shen Lin's pigeon.
He did not refuse to meet Shen Lin.
Originally, he proposed it first.
It just means that time will push back.
He would bring a VIP to the banquet.
As for time!
To be determined!
Shen Lin was too lazy to care about him.
The casualties of Chen Feng's troops were sent back.
Looking at the bodies of nearly three hundred martyrs covered in white cloth.
Shen Lin took off his helmet and saluted silently.
"brush!"
All the soldiers took off their helmets and saluted, and the atmosphere was sad.
The Liao army is progressing.
The battles in the future will be difficult to fight.
The corpse can only be cremated on the spot.
The army will record the names, collect the relics and hand them over to the family together with the urn.
Until today.
More than a thousand people have been killed in the Iron Front Army during the Western Expedition.
The injured person?
It had already exceeded 10,000.
There are nearly 2,000 disabled officers and soldiers in Chen Liang's fleet.
This time, we have to add two or three hundred, right?
In war, death and injury are inevitable.
But Chen Lin still felt very distressed.
There is nothing else, the Iron Front Army is not easy to develop.
