Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 835: The officers forced to withdraw
Lu Xun was also quite confused. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
The opponent fell for all kinds of strategies and calculations, and suffered batches of enemies killed, but in the end, nothing happened to him.
Still has full fighting power.
If it were an empire like Rome or Kushan, the country would probably be in turmoil by now.
Rome had just suffered a major defeat before, and afterwards it had no potential for war at all, and was forced to be united by Xinghan.
However, the losses incurred by the Qing court from the beginning of the war to the present are probably enough to cover half of Rome, but there is no sign of decline.
Although the fighting on various battlefields is fierce, in fact, Xinghan has not achieved a single strategic goal so far.
However, they had no way of retreat when they attacked Silla this time. If they failed to achieve this strategic goal, they would probably become passive next.
They don't want to be like Xiang Yu when he fought against Liu Bang, who won countless battles but lost everything after losing just one.
Lu Xun analyzed the situation calmly. He had developed his spiritual talents very deeply. Not only could he spot problems in other people's judgment, but he could also eliminate some wrong options for himself.
This allows him to eliminate more wrong answers and find as many correct routes as possible when analyzing.
For the Qing army, the only thing that could limit their performance on a battlefield of this scale was the limit of the number of troops that could be deployed.
Silla's territory is so small and the environment is so complex that it is very difficult to deploy troops on a large battlefield.
However, even though it was difficult, the Qing army still deployed a large number of soldiers to encircle and suppress them.
But they had no way to retreat, and if they retreated further they would be within the navy's attack range.
When the time comes, they will undoubtedly be defeated when faced with a pincer attack from land and sea.
But Lu Xun was not thinking about how to resist, but how to win. The fire attack had been used once and was unlikely to be effective again.
Lu Xun only had one option left: water attack.
But the terrain here for Lu Xun is too difficult. If the water attack fails, they might even be drowned.
"Organize an elite corps to lead the main force to attack the junction between the enemy's center and flanks."
Zhao Hui concentrated a wave of troops to launch a counterattack. After suppressing Xinghan's elite troops again, he immediately ordered his men to lead the vassal army to attack.
He finally understood that it was impossible to win by relying only on miscellaneous soldiers.
Especially the elephant soldiers, it is really impossible to defeat these war beasts without the participation of elite troops.
Therefore, Zhao Hui chose to deploy elite troops in advance and cooperate with miscellaneous soldiers to restrict Xinghan’s elite army.
Bo Cai felt the pressure instantly.
The junction between the center and the flanks is an inevitable weak point.
As ruthlessly as their elite troops dealt with the miscellaneous soldiers, the opposing elite troops were just as ruthlessly dealing with their vassal troops in this place.
No matter how they are deployed, the vassal army can only maintain double talents at best, and they cannot withstand the fierce attack of the opposing guards.
And because it is the connection between the central army and the flank, naturally half of the area has to face the Royal Guards, and they are unable to break out.
In particular, the elite Qing troops were guarded by vassal troops on both sides, making it extremely difficult for Bo Cai to counterattack.
After all, the initiative of the attack was in the hands of the Qing army, and Zhao Hui applied this method flexibly.
Zhao Hui does not have the ability to command hundreds of command lines, but he still has the ability to completely abandon the vassal army and concentrate on commanding the elite troops to attack.
This kind of offensive almost completely disregards the vassal army as human beings, but it happens to be the most suitable for the Qing army at this moment.
Relying on the combat objectives that still exist in the minds of middle and low-level officers, with the core elite taking the lead, the corps as a whole attacks the opponent, which in turn triggers the entire army to strike the attack target.
Although there will certainly be a series of problems in the process such as blind obedience, confusion in attack targets, mutual obstruction of attacks, etc., under Zhao Hui's coordination, 80% of the effective supply is still achieved.
If the scale is large enough, the Qing army only needs to exert its own military advantage to solve most problems, and Zhao Hui also thinks so.
Bo Cai responded calmly, taking the risk of shrinking the defense line directly, moving the elite troops from the outside to the inside, and then mobilizing Yan Yan and Meng Huo to form a pocket formation for encirclement.
The officers and soldiers of the Qing army were suddenly caught in a dilemma.
If they charge forward, they will run into the pocket formation prepared by Meng Huo and his men, and there will be no way to turn back. Even if they can turn back, they will probably be cut off by Zhang Ren and Wutugu. There are considerable risks both forward and backward.
"Now!" Zhao Hui suddenly started to attack.
Just when Bo Cai was planning to hunt down these elite Qing troops who had broken into the inner side of the main army, the Qing troops on the front and flanks began to attack fiercely, and a large number of elite troops rushed out from the miscellaneous soldiers.
Wutugu was killing people so hard that he didn't have time to react.
"Throw spears, use bows and crossbows, and kill this barbarian!"
Following Zhao Hui's order, the archers and javelin teams instantly sent massive supplies to Wutugu who was slaughtering people on the battlefield.
The ten-foot-tall Wutugu was still extremely conspicuous in this chaotic battlefield. Dozens of javelins and hundreds of arrows instantly locked onto Wutugu!
More arrows and javelins surrounded Wutugu, covering every inch of space where Wutugu might hide with a super-saturated supply.
"Ha!" After Wutugu's strong intuition swept away a large group of enemies in front of him, he immediately discovered the supplies flying towards him.
He roared and swept most of the javelins away, and used the rattan shield to block the remaining attacks. After the javelins pierced the rattan shield, the remaining force pierced through Wutugu's armor, and then pierced into Wutugu's body, leaving a deep scar.
Almost in an instant, Wutugu turned into a mysterious creature like a porcupine.
Wutugu was severely injured in an instant and almost went crazy. Even if he had practiced hard to break the realm, he could not withstand the concentrated fire of almost an entire legion.
Wutugu violently unleashed his enormous strength, and his internal energy burst out from his body, knocking away all the javelins and arrows that were stuck in his body.
Almost his entire body was covered in blood, and the huge amount of blood loss made Wutugu feel weak.
However, even a weak Wutugu was still an unstoppable terrifying beast on the battlefield, still wielding his weapons wantonly and killing people.
However, the good times did not last long. The dancing mace suddenly hit a gun blade. Wutugu roared and burst out with extreme strength, directly knocking the gun blade that dared to stop him off track.
Even in a weakened state, not everyone can contend with him.
The mere internal energy leaving the body is simply not enough to stop the ravages of Wutugu.
"Die, lunatic!"
However, at this moment, several people with internal energy leaving their bodies rushed out from the crowd.
Under Zhao Hui's order, these people directly chose to cross the bottom line and chose to besiege. Anyway, on the battlefield, any means used are reasonable.
One person lured the enemy, and several others attacked. At the moment when Wu Tu Gu just finished his outburst, several weapons containing internal energy were launched towards Wu Tu Gu. For a moment, Wu Tu Gu was terrified and tried to parry, but his weak body was unable to resist the full-force sneak attack of several people with internal energy.
"what!!!"
Looking at the pierced body, Wutugu felt the shadow of death. He roared furiously and swung the mace in his hand directly away.
One of them was unable to dodge and had his head smashed in the instant his internal energy left his body. The remaining few people also quickly retreated.
They didn't want to be taken to hell by Wutugu.
Wutugu stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth with difficulty and retreated to the rear under the protection of his personal guards.
Several people with internal energy leaving their bodies ruthlessly slashed at the surrounding soldiers, and the Qing soldiers behind them suddenly became more powerful.
The elite soldiers that Zhao Hui had arranged in advance launched a fierce attack from Wutugu's position. Because of Wutugu's retreat, the entire front line lost its backbone and was penetrated by the elite Qing army in almost an instant.
"The first one!" Zhao Hui watched the advancement of the battle line with indifference.
Although they paid a greater price than Xinghan in this process, it didn't matter. Destroying Xinghan's defense line was the top priority.
Only in the midst of chaos can the advantages of miscellaneous soldiers and cannon fodder be better utilized. The Xinghan Defense Line with a complete formation is a gap that is difficult for miscellaneous soldiers and cannon fodder to break through.
The moment Wutugu's defense line collapsed, the elite Qing troops that had attacked the inside began to turn back, and a large number of elite soldiers instantly poured into Meng Huo's pocket formation.
The pocket formation actually increased the area of engagement. The soldiers involved in the battle had no time to rotate and could only hold on and exchange with the miscellaneous soldiers.
The elite troops who were supposed to enter the pocket formation had now gathered together and rushed towards the front line of the vassal army's defense, piercing through the defense like sharp fangs.
"The next one is the second one!" Zhao Hui knew that he was forcing the exchange, but he felt it was worth it.
Even though the price to pay was high and the losses were even several times higher than a normal fight, he was determined to do it.
On the other side, Zhang Ren was happily beating up the miscellaneous soldiers.
"Die!" Zhang Ren swept his spear across. Although he was not a top-notch general, the momentum he displayed was comparable to that of a super general like Wutugu.
Under the leadership of Zhang Ren, his headquarters quickly defeated a corps of miscellaneous soldiers.
However, just when Zhang Ren was planning to reorganize his formation and retreat to avoid going too deep into the enemy's territory.
A large group of archers appeared in front of Zhang Ren.
"Charge!" Zhang Ren gave the order to attack without even thinking.
But when the army howled and rushed into the archers' camp, the opposing archers had already shot five waves of arrows.
The arrow flew out of his hand and aimed directly at Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren dodged as much as he could, but the thumb-thick arrow still hit him, and then more arrows came over.
Zhang Ren fought bravely to break through, but was still stabbed like a hedgehog.
Compared with Wutugu's vitality, Zhang Ren almost lost consciousness the moment he was pierced like a hedgehog.
The guards beside him quickly dragged Zhang Ren away and stuffed life-saving pills into his mouth.
"The second one!" Zhao Hui watched Zhang Ren fall and directly led the army to attack the defense line.
"The combat effectiveness of a dedicated legion with a commander as its core will indeed be stronger, but once the commander is injured, the combat effectiveness of the entire legion will drop sharply!"
"As long as we pay a certain price, this kind of siege can be achieved. I want to see if each of your commanders has good luck enough."
Zhao Hui looked at the chaotic battle front and finally a smile appeared on his face.
The archer corps in front of Zhang Ren was almost completely wiped out, but after Zhang Ren was killed, Zhang Ren's corps almost immediately lost its suppressive power and was overwhelmed by the subsequent corps.
Bo Cai's face turned pale. When the enemy relies on their large numbers to play a game of exchange with you, and is even willing to use a legion to exchange for the opportunity to severely injure one of your officers, how can you fight them?
They simply cannot afford to replace the dozen or so officers that accompanied them. Even if they were all replaced, they could not replace an army of 100,000. The madman on the opposite side might really dare to do so.
What's even more terrible is that Bo Cai discovered that this tactic of exchanging pieces seemed to be extremely threatening to them.
Xinghan's side is almost entirely made up of exclusive legions with the main general as the leader. While their combat effectiveness is off the charts, they do pose a huge hidden danger.
Even if Wutugu and Zhang Ren were not dead, they could still participate in the next battle, but the problem is that there will be no next time for them.
They can't afford to lose this battle.
Bo Cai commanded Meng Huo and Yan Yan to reinforce the defense and ordered all officers not to go to the front line to fight.
Once severely damaged, the entire legion would lose its combat effectiveness very quickly.
But this order undoubtedly directly suppressed the combat effectiveness of these legions.
For a while, the battle line retreated again and again, and the soldiers at the front could not withdraw at all, and were directly surrounded and attacked by the chaotic army.
"Kusroyi, you also go to the front line. Remember to fight as a group. Don't go to the front. There are too many hidden masters on the opposite side. Let's fight as a group. Don't fight hard!"
Bo Cai took a deep breath and sent Shuguang to rescue the situation.
Zhao Hui’s method was very simple, but even with this extremely simple method, Bo Cai was unable to come up with any solution.
The opponent is willing to spend several times the number of people to exchange pieces with you, which should be a stupid move in itself, but the problem is that this move effectively broke Xinghan's defense line.
In this situation, the number of people who were sacrificed before seems to be worthwhile.
Moreover, due to the damage on the battle line and the expansion of the combat area, the casualty ratio is still shrinking rapidly.
Zhao Hui looked at the advancing battle line and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Truth and falsehood, reality and unreality are still the core of all military strategies.
If you can do something that the enemy thinks is impossible and unexpected, then winning will become relatively easier.
His unexpected exchange of pieces put Bo Cai into a disadvantageous position.
After tasting the sweetness of defeating Zhang Ren and Wutugu, he repeated the same method several more times.
After successfully sniping and killing several middle-level officers of Xinghan and destroying the local defense force, the situation became unstoppable.
However, after encountering setbacks at the hands of Yan Yan and Kusroyi, Zhao Hui quickly resumed his normal command.
He has not yet reached the point where he is carried away by victory and continues to exchange pieces without thinking.
Knowing when to do what is his greatest strength.
Being ruthless and cruel is just his nature, and it is far from being his advantage. (End of this chapter)
