"General Han! Our army has been attacking for more than a month, and military supplies such as kerosene have been reduced to less than 30%! More than half of the siege equipment has been lost!" Jiang Shuihan said with a tired look.
For more than a month, the coalition forces have been on the offensive almost day and night, without taking a few breaks. Although the coalition forces have been rotating troops to attack the city relying on their large numbers, they are still tired.
Enough.
"It doesn't matter!" Han Xin shook his head and said. More than half of the siege equipment was lost, and military consumables were almost exhausted, but Han Xin did not take these things to heart.
It should be said that few coalition generals took this matter to heart.
The losses of siege engines and military consumables were valuable, and they played their due role.
"Tell General Lie, the soldiers and horses of the three cities may not be able to sit still anymore, and it will be their turn to perform next!" Han Xin said with a smile.
During this period of time, Han Xin had been detaching tens of thousands of troops from participating in the battle, just to prevent the troops from the three cities from suddenly attacking their rear.
Although the soldiers and horses of the three cities are watched by the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, how can outsiders completely trust them, and how can they leave all their behinds to them?
However, the coalition forces have been attacking Tianjing City continuously for more than a month. In this more than a month, Tianjing City has lost at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, and at least 20,000 soldiers and horses have been lost due to serious injuries in the battle.
Without combat effectiveness, it can no longer be counted into Tianjing City’s defense strength.
Therefore, after more than a month of continuous fighting, there are actually less than 80,000 defenders left in the Imperial City. The eighth squad of defenders may be enough for other cities, but for the Imperial City
For such a large-scale city, it is relatively insufficient and can only be said to be barely adequate.
Yu Fengjun is also considered a talented general. He is also the number one figure in the Forbidden Army. He is one of the famous generals of the Great Cang Army and the future pillar of the Great Cang Army. However, when he faced Han Xin, it was like he was reducing his dimension.
The blow is the same.
Even with the help of a strong city like Tianjing City, Han Xin still controlled their casualty ratio within the range of 1:2. Moreover, this was because Han Xin had to send out those second-rate soldiers from Tianshi Dao from time to time.
once.
When the regular troops of the coalition and even the Zhenxi Army came on stage, Han Xin was at his lowest, and even controlled the casualty ratio of both sides to less than 1:1.5.
It can be said that after more than a month of attrition war, Han Xin has laid a good foundation for launching the final blow against the imperial capital.
In more than a month, the garrison strength in the city has suffered such heavy losses, and it is absolutely impossible for the remaining soldiers and horses of the three cities to continue to sit down. Even if they know that the Zhenbei cavalry is watching them, they still have to take risks.
.
They didn't dare to take risks before, because the situation in the Imperial Capital had not yet reached the most dangerous stage, so they dared to continue. But now, with the Imperial Capital in such a situation, how could they continue to sit down?
As a minister of Da Cang, seeing that his monarch is in danger, and even the country is about to be broken, if he can continue to sit down, then this person is no longer a pure minister!
"Don't worry, General Han. Those fools in the Zhenbei Army are probably already ready to make a move at this time." Tianshi Dao General Da Hong said with a smile.
As a famous general, Dahong can probably guess some of Han Xin's psychology. The three cities are still in annihilation, whether they send troops or not, they are a threat to the back of the coalition forces.
People like Han Xin need to remove this threat first, and then he will finally let go and take action.
"It's just these three or two days. Everything will be clear after three days!" Han Xin said with confidence.
He believed in his own judgment. If the soldiers and horses of the three cities had not betrayed Da Cang, they would definitely take action within three days at most.
Han Xin's predictions were quite good, and even his predictions were a bit conservative. Even after he said these words, the soldiers and horses of the three cities had already started to take action the next day.
The situation in the Imperial Capital is becoming more and more critical. Not only are they worried, the Imperial Capital is also constantly trying to send messages to get the three cities to send troops to help. Under the pressure from both inside and outside, it is not easy for them to survive until this day.
The soldiers and horses of the three cities were all sent out, and Lie Yuan Sheng also took action. Each of the three cities had 50,000 soldiers and horses. After the three cities were added together, this was no longer a small number.
Of course, it is certainly impossible for all of them to be soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army. Only half of the soldiers and horses in the three cities are soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army. The rest are veterans who have been retired for many years. Due to the critical situation of the war, they were summoned again temporarily.
stand up.
Lie Yuansheng's light cavalry attacked. The cavalry force faced off against the infantry force, and the strength of the cavalry was still higher than that of the infantry. Lie Yuansheng had no reason to fail. In this regard, not long after the soldiers and horses of the three cities had just set off, there were already soldiers and horses of one city.
Was defeated by the Zhenbei Army.
However, the troops of one of the cities took advantage of the Zhenbei Army to choose another target, and because their location was relatively close to the imperial capital, they avoided the Zhenbei Army.
However, they avoided the Zhenbei Army, but they did not avoid Han Xin. They were blocked by the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left by Han Xin as a precaution.
After that, the elite Panshi heavy infantry and Shen Gong battalion of the Zhenxi Army surrounded the rear of this troop. Under attack from the front and rear, the general was shot dead by the leader of the Shen Gong battalion in the chaos.
15,000 soldiers and horses were killed in the battle, and the remaining 35,000 were captured by all forces.
The soldiers and horses in the last city saw that their two companions were already cold, so they could only return home obediently.
The commander-in-chief of the last city's soldiers and horses also saw at this time that the coalition forces were setting a trap and were waiting for them to come out. If they went out, they would be eaten by the coalition forces without leaving any bones or dregs!
But instead, they obediently stayed in the city to defend themselves, which made the coalition forces fearful of them and had to set aside a force to defend them.
In the end, there was only one city of soldiers and horses left, which might still be able to pose a threat to the descendants of the coalition, but this threat had been greatly reduced. There was no need for Lie Yuan Sheng to continue to entangle them here, and the Flame Tiger Lie Leopard Cavalry
After staying here and watching the last battle, he led the remaining ordinary Zhenbei cavalry to the battlefield of the Imperial Capital.
As two layers of the troops in the three cities were defeated, leaving only the troops in the last city struggling to hold on, Han Xin also believed that the time for him to end this battle was completely ripe!
