Chapter 1512 Three-way attack

"How could there be any surprises? The slaughter has already begun!"

Xin Qiji was very anxious. This battle overturned his understanding of war. The siege tactics mentioned in previous military books were useless. The emergence of artillery meant that the defenders no longer had any advantage.

"Are you thinking too simply? This is a war!"

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji and said.

"What else is there? The army has already attacked, how can the enemy stop us?"

Xin Qiji couldn't help it. He had suffered a lot in the army in the past two months just to participate in this war. Now that the war had begun, how could he just sit there and watch?

"Behave yourself! The army is not your school. If you dare to disobey military orders, the military stick will not let you off!"

Seeing that Xin Qiji seemed to have some ulterior motives, Lu You immediately reminded him that it was okay for Xin Qiji to have done something wrong in the past, as no one would take him seriously as they were just kids in school.

But now it is different. This is the military, Xin Qiji is already a soldier, everything is determined by military regulations, and military regulations do not care about Xin Qiji's young age.

"I……"

Xin Qiji still wanted to argue, but when he saw Lu You's expression, he could only lower his head.

After the Xianzhen Camp reached the pass, they began to charge forward in formation, and the army in the rear also quickly gained a foothold on the pass.

However, the follow-up troops did not rush to advance. After gaining a foothold, they began to charge to the left and right to expand the width of the formation.

“They’re all up there!”

Xin Qiji became even more anxious as he watched more and more troops rushing towards the pass.

At this moment, Wang Jin was coming with his soldiers.

"General Wang, when are we going up?"

Xin Qiji hurriedly ran to Wang Jin and asked.

"You are the reserve team, why are you in such a hurry? Are the stretchers, bandages and medicines ready?"

Wang Jin looked at Xin Qiji and asked.

"No...are we supposed to do these things? Isn't it just the military doctor who can do it?"

Xin Qiji was anxious, but he didn't want to carry the stretcher.

"Pay more attention!"

Wang Jin glanced at Xin Qiji and shook his head.

"Boy, you're just an intern. We haven't even gone up yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shi Jin smiled and said to Xin Qiji.

"But the war is almost over!"

Xin Qiji pointed to the top of Xingxing Gorge and said.

"The end? Where did you see that?"

Shi Jin said with a smile.

"The army has already attacked, isn't it almost over?"

Xin Qiji spoke.

"Is this how you teach your little brother?"

Shi Jin looked at Lu You and asked.

"This kid won't listen to anything. He just wants to chop people with a knife. There's nothing I can do!"

Lu You said helplessly that Xin Qiji was just a hot-blooded crazy boy.

"War is never that simple. Although this is just the first battle, it is a large-scale melee involving 150,000 troops. It is not going to end that easily."

Shi Jin smiled and shook his head.

"Not that simple?"

Xin Qiji was puzzled. In his opinion, the enemies were about to die.

"Let alone 100,000 enemies, even if it's 100,000 lambs, you can't catch or kill them all in one day, right?"

  Shi Jin looked at Xin Qiji and explained

"This...seems...a bit difficult!"

Xin Qiji was not a fool. After being reminded, he realized that no matter how weak the enemy was, there were still 100,000 of them. It was not easy to kill them all. "So, the war has just broken out!"

Shi Jin left after saying this.

"Is this really the case?"

Xin Qiji looked at Lu You and asked for confirmation.

"Of course, you have also seen the topographic map. Xingxing Gorge is more than just a canyon. It is quite deep. Look at the enemy. They are all rushing to support us. How can war be that easy?"

Lu You pointed at Xingxing Gorge and spoke.

Because the Qi army had stormed up Xingxing Gorge with great force, the Eastern Karakhanid army also responded quickly, and the rest of the defensive armies headed towards the battlefield.

"Kill me! Kill!"

Ibrahim roared and commanded the army. Although the enemy had already reached Xingxing Gorge, he would not easily accept defeat. He had an army of 100,000 and was fully capable of engaging the enemy head-on.

The army of the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate was also a brave force. They filled up the entire valley and blocked the trap camp.

"kill!"

Li Kui swung his axe and chopped, but this time he felt the pressure.

"What's going on?"

Li Kui fought for a while and found it difficult to advance, so he looked around and found that the front was full of enemies. Although these people were poorly equipped, they were fearless and brave.

"There are too many enemies, and this valley is still a bit narrow!"

Bao Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke, saying that the terrain of this battle was not suitable for them to charge. Although the valley was very wide, it was still a valley. There were too many enemies, and it was extremely difficult for them to advance due to the crowd.

"Kill them too! Kill! Kill!"

  Li Kui was unwilling to accept this result. The Xianzhen Camp was the spearhead force of Qi State, and was invincible in breaking through the formation and killing the enemy. How could they be stopped by a group of mixed-race foreigners this time?

"Grenade!"

Bao Xu looked at Xiang Chong and Li Gun and shouted, "The enemy is crowding in front of us, and it is almost impossible for them to break through by manpower."

Xiang Chong and Li Gun immediately led the army to use grenades, causing chaos in front of the enemy. The explosion caused chaos in front of the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate.

But the power of the grenade was limited, and the enemies were all standing in front of them. The chaos in front of the formation did not spread, and the enemies in the rear were not affected at all.

Yue Fei had already reached the pass at this time, looking down at the entire battle situation from a high vantage point.

"This group of aliens are not simple! They are so fearless in fighting!"

  Ou Peng said, they thought this Western Expedition would be easy. After all, they had even destroyed the Jin Dynasty, so what were a group of Western barbarians?

"This battle is not as easy as we thought!"

Yue Fei also said with a serious expression that the enemy's tenacity made him realize the difference of this battle.

"Fighting head-on like this is not a solution. Let's get the follow-up troops to come up!"

Ou Peng said that they would definitely win if they fought head-on, but the price they would pay would certainly not be small.

"Pass the order down!"

Yue Fei nodded.

As the horn sounded, Lin Chong and Wang Jin also led an army of 10,000 to charge to the left and right at Xingxing Gorge. Their target was the other two passes where the defenders had just evacuated.

"It's up again! It's all up!"

Xin Qiji was very anxious. The first batch of troops that rushed up had only 20,000 soldiers. Now Lin Chong and Wang Jin each led 10,000 soldiers, and only 10,000 soldiers were left.

"Why are you so anxious? You are the youngest one, don't you see that so many veterans are not anxious?"

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji and said that among the 200,000 troops in the Western Expedition, Xin Qiji was the least experienced recruit, with only two months of military service, a complete rookie.

"Why aren't you in a hurry at all? They've all gone up there. If we wait any longer, we'll just have to carry the wounded!"

Xin Qiji roared.

"What are you yelling about? We are in the military!"

Mi Sheng heard Xin Qiji's shout and rode over with a big axe in hand.

"General Mi, this kid is a bit impatient. I have already taught him a lesson."

Lu You clasped his fists towards Mi Sheng.
