Logically speaking, considering the size of the city of Laixi.
That is simply a model of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.
This city is built on the mountain, and the entire city is located on a hill about 100 meters high.
If you want to go up the mountain or attack the city, you have to walk through a gentle slope of more than two miles.
This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of siege.
Moreover, there are still 40,000 Japanese soldiers with firearms in the city who are stubbornly resisting.
If the general army of the Tang Dynasty were to come over, there might not be much they could do against it.
But don't forget, the army that is going to attack now is called the Liangzhou Army.
They have already beaten Jianmen Pass, is there still a little-known Lacey?
What's more, the firearms they have now are more sophisticated, and their tactics and strategies are also more complete.
In the early morning of the second day.
Twenty thousand Liangzhou troops led by Feng Guangyao personally launched a fierce attack on Laixi City.
At the same time, Liu Qi also led 20,000 Liangzhou troops to stand between the two cities to block Japanese reinforcements in Laidong City.
And what about Li Chengqian?
Naturally, he was not idle either. He still had nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
At this moment, he was also leading these people, standing outside the battlefield, ready to reinforce the two front lines at any time.
It has to be said that Li Chengqian is becoming more and more mature in commanding troops to fight, and at least he knows how to keep a backup plan.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese army also showed a very strong fighting will.
The battle in Lacey City was the most intense.
The attack started in the morning and lasted until noon. Almost the entire east wall was destroyed.
But despite this, the Japanese army built a simple barrier outside the city wall and continued to fight with the Liangzhou army.
This war was fought in a state of darkness.
The Liangzhou troops who attacked were beaten down in groups, which was extremely brutal.
Liu Qiyi on the other side was not much better.
As soon as the war in Laixi started, Laidong's team rushed to the battlefield non-stop, I want to attack Datang from both sides.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian was prepared and placed Liu Qi here.
But in the face of the Japanese offensive, which seemed to risk life and death, Liu Qifang really couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian responded quickly and subsequently sent 10,000 reinforcements. After half a day of hard fighting, the enemy's offensive was blocked.
And this is something that people like Li Chengqian and Feng Guangyao did not expect.
After all, even when they attacked Laizhou, they were not so strenuous. Under a round of artillery fire, the Japanese army was basically wiped out.
However, the current battle made them deeply aware that the Japanese army's combat power should not be underestimated.
That night.
Li Chengqian, Liu Qi, and Feng Guangyao gathered in the Chinese military tent.
At this moment, even when Li Chengqian reached heaven, he lost the sense of relaxation he had yesterday.
To be honest, he never looked down upon the Japanese army from the beginning.
After all, what if they had firearms?
You can create something more advanced and more powerful yourself.
But at the moment, this situation is obviously not just a matter of weapons and firepower.
"Now, this war has entered a fever pitch."
"And judging from what our army did before, the Japanese army should also start to react."
"Once this war fails, their own end will be death."
"So I estimate that the next war will be even more difficult to fight."
Li Chengqian looked up at the two of them and said, "You must be prepared."
When he said to be prepared, he naturally meant to be prepared for the huge sacrifice that the Liangzhou Army was about to make.
After all, judging from the current situation, the Japanese army has completely gone crazy, and the next war will definitely be a sword-to-knife, fist-to-fist fight.
At this
In such a war, no matter how elite the soldiers or the most powerful generals are, they cannot guarantee that they will survive.
Of course, these two people also know this.
After hearing what he said, Feng Guangyao said directly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army have long been prepared to sacrifice for the country."
"That's right."
"We are always ready to sacrifice for our country."
"And we also keep our mission in mind, and we will not take a step back no matter what on the battlefield."
Liu Qi also looked up at Li Chengqian, looked at him, and said: "But Your Highness, you have also seen the current situation. It has completely reached a fever pitch."
"If there is no way to break the situation now, I am afraid that no matter how much sacrifice we make, we will never be able to win this city."
"I think we still have to think of a way to break their zone defense first..."
Laidong and Laixi, these two cities are probably unknown to most people.
Because they are really not famous, but this is not because they are not dangerous enough, but because there are few wars here.
Therefore, these two cities seem a bit useless in peacetime and wartime.
Few people even want to garrison troops here.
And this is also the main reason why the Japanese army was able to occupy the entire Laizhou area in just half a month.
Speaking of these two cities, as mentioned before, the distance between the two cities is less than five miles, one is close to the sea and the other is close to the mountain, forming a corner.
If one side is attacked, the other side can come to support in less than half an hour.
Although Li Chengqian asked Liu Qi to block the support of the Japanese army in Laidong today, they were also hindered by them and could not attack Laishi side wholeheartedly.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian slowly raised his head and said, "Since no matter which side we fight, people from the other side will come to reinforce us."
"Then tomorrow, let's focus on reinforcements..."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, glanced at the two people, and then He said: "If that's the case, let's change it. Tomorrow Liu Qi will lead his team to attack Lacey."
After hearing this, Liu Qi also hurriedly responded.
Feng Guangyao on the other side said: "Okay, I will lead the team to stop the little dwarfs from Laidong tomorrow, and I will make sure they never come back."
"No."
Li Chengqian suddenly shook his head and said, "You will take my place tomorrow."
Hearing this, Liu Qi and Feng Guangyao were suddenly shocked.
What's the meaning?
Is Li Chengqian taking the initiative to lead his team to attack?
Although Li Chengqian's force was very strong, they were convinced.
But what is the current situation?
The enemy has firearms in his hands.
Do firearms have eyes?
Even if you can fight, doesn't it only work when you get up close and fight hand-to-hand?
The two of them were also a little worried. Feng Guangyao said directly: "Your Highness, you should command the entire army from the rear. Leave the frontline matters to me."
"It's useless if you go."
"Are you more familiar with my Qianzi camp than me?"
"Or are you more familiar with the Musketeers than I am?"
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "I told you earlier that as long as this war starts, it will be the end of the war. We can't afford it."
Previously, Li Chengqian only allocated 5,000 people from the 8,000 Musketeers and allocated them to the two of them.
But the two of them really had little experience in commanding musketeers.
Today's war really does not have the advantages it should have.
Therefore, Li Chengqian had to play in person.
After finishing his words, Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and said, "Listen to me, you two. Today is just a tentative attack. If we don't kill you, I won't say anything."
"But tomorrow must be the last battle of this war."
"Even if all of us are killed, we must completely drive the enemy out of the border..."
