Chapter 79 Blocking War
"Reported, there are only more than 37,000 heavy shield soldiers left." The counting soldiers replied, feeling relieved when they heard this. Fortunately, half of the heavy shields were still left, and there was still a chance to make a comeback. Without the heavy shield soldiers in front of them, the losses would only be so great that they could not even afford to drag them.
Wu Tuo gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that the enemy still had tens of thousands of spell talismans. You should know that the cost of arrows is far less than that of spell talismans. Thirty thousand arrows can kill thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, but 30,000 arrows can only be replaced with one spell talisman. If you attack with spell talismans, you can only kill dozens of ordinary soldiers. This cost-effectiveness is too low. Of course, ordinary arrows cannot break through the defense of heavy shield soldiers, but spell talismans can be easily broken through.
"Tell me the order, the heavy shield soldiers rank in front, the archers and archers pressed down, and rushed over!" Wudang gave this harsh order.
After ordering, all the heavy shield soldiers were arranged in formation, even if they knew they were killed, they were not ambiguous at all. This was the elite army, and the orders were prohibited. However, the soldiers of the Southern Yi were indeed quite fierce.
Under the strong rush of countless heavy shield soldiers and the suppression of a large number of archers, the two lieutenants that were originally fighting the mobile war also began to suffer heavy casualties.
"Sir, did you contact the brothers from the third battalion of the right wing to help us relieve the pressure? The brothers suffered a lot of casualties. This surnamed Wu was completely crazy. He actually used his life to rush to the defense line." A ten thousand-year-old captain reflected the situation to his boss.
"Take all the spells out, let the people below aim at the point, identify the heavy shield soldiers and throw them again. There must be batches of them, and don't throw them all out. Fortunately, General Fang issued 50,000 low-grade spells this time. If used well, it will be enough to destroy all the heavy shield soldiers of the opponent." The captain shook his head and continued: "The combat plan has been decided, and it cannot be changed at will. If it is held for a long time, the third battalion of the right wing will be put into battle. Before this, you must not let the enemy go for fifteen miles! Block me step by step and meet the enemy in a tiered manner."
The commanders of the two lieutenants battalions issued orders, no longer need to be stingy with the spells. They throw them out as long as they have the chance. Not to mention that the 50,000 spells had used more than 20,000 when they retreated in front, but isn't there still more than 20,000 left? As long as they are used well, they can destroy the opponent's heavy shield soldiers. As long as the heavy shield soldiers are not used, it is not impossible for these hundreds of thousands of troops to quickly break through the defense line, but at least half of the bodies must be left.
Although the order they received was to block the enemy for three days, if they could annihilate more than half of the enemy, it would be considered an alternative task, right?
------------------------------------------
Wutuo was a little dumbfounded. These people didn't treat the spell talismans as spirit stones. The number of spell talismans in Wutuo's team was only less than 7,000, but the other party's about 100,000 people actually threw them like this with 50,000 spell talismans, which was too extravagant. However, Wutuo had no choice. Nanyi was indeed poorer than Dashen, and it was not a little poorer.
I gritted my teeth and threw it away, I won’t throw it away too!
The soldiers of Nanyi also began to throw spell talismans. Although the number of spell talismans on Nanyi was not large, and the terrain defense advantage occupied by Dashen did not cause the defense line to collapse, the losses were not small. The first battalion of the left wing directly reduced by 10%!
The third battalion of the right wing finally walked around the enemy's butt and launched a brazen attack when it arrived at the designated time. Their target was a large number of archers from the rear army.
It is precisely because of the suppression of the long-range strike force of these archers that the front-line blocking seems to be too much casualties, and it is really difficult to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows!
The surprise attack of the third battalion of the right wing raided the Archery Team with 10,000 light cavalry. After a few encounters, the archery team was severely damaged. Once the troops behind were pressed, there was no need to say much about the consequences. The archer's long-range strike power was very strong, and he could attack hundreds of meters or thousands of meters away. However, if he was raided by the cavalry, it would be basically difficult to turn over.
But the third battalion of the right wing was mainly composed of Pu Dao and cavalry, specializing in archers and killed the archers camp. The cavalry attacked several times and divided nearly 70,000 troops into dozens of pieces, and was suppressed by the subsequent troops, and killed them for a while.
After seizing this opportunity, a large number of archers from the Second Battalion of the Left Wing began to show their power.
On the battlefield, there were mixed shouts of killing and screams, murderous intent and blood soaring. Dashen only had three lieutenants in total, with about 150,000 troops surrounding the nearly 400,000 troops of the Southern Yi army, and instead gained the upper hand.
The vanguard general of the Nanyi vanguard stood up and led his own three thousand personal guards, and rushed forward, causing great casualties to the Dashen army.
On Dashen's side, Long Kuang stood up and faced Wutuo. The other three captains also led their elite troops to fight with Wutuo's personal guards.
The monks from Tongxuan Secret Realm fought together, while the foundation-building warriors below fought together.
The advantage of the battle situation gradually began to turn to the Nanyi. After all, the Nanyi's military strength was three times that of Dashen. The army of more than 400,000 was against more than 100,000. The strength of the two sides was only equal. At the beginning, Dashen took a lot of advantages. With the stalemate of the battle situation, this advantage turned to the side with more sufficient troops.
"Retreat!" The three lieutenant ordered decisively. The order they received was to block the enemy for three days, only two days, so there was no need to put everyone here, which was extremely unprofitable.
Hearing this order, the soldiers below all retreated.
Seeing this situation, I was unhappy. You can come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, what do you think of me? He is now stopped by experts of the same level. Although both sides were in a ball, they actually did not use all their strength to fight. Because after reaching their level of cultivation, if you improve your cultivation level twice, you can live for five hundred to one thousand years, and no one wants to fight for it.
Although Dashen and Nanyi fought extremely fiercely, the real casualties were all foundation-building warriors, or cultivators below the third level of Tongxuan Secret Realm, and cultivators above the fourth level of practicing magical powers. No one is willing to really fight to the death, unless they are unable to force themselves or have an absolute advantage.
This is actually a hidden rule. When everyone is evenly matched, no expert on either side will take the lead. Of course, if there is a chance, no one side will mind taking the lead and killing the roots.
"Chasing!" Wu Tuo couldn't get a part of it, but he still had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
However, the pursuit was greeted by arrows everywhere, and it turned out that the person responsible for the response was a heavy weapon like Qinglong 1.
