Bain supported Su Yue at all costs, and Su Yue really didn't let Bain down. Su Yue's ace female army and Zhao Wenbin's elite army gained the upper hand in the first confrontation. Female soldiers are no less crazy than male soldiers, and some are even very bloodthirsty. This is not the point. The point is that the female soldiers' weapons are poisoned, and it is a special poison. General antidotes are completely useless, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the coalition soldiers.
Since the beginning of the Beiming War, this was the first time that Zhao Wenbin encountered such a powerful regiment, and even the accompanying military advisors felt the pressure. At this time, Zhao Wenbin and the military advisor reached a consensus and temporarily retreated.
Zhao Wenbin's retreat means that there will no longer be any barrier between the imperial capital and Langfang City. Reinforcements from the north to the south will become unimpeded, which means that there will be many obstacles for the coalition forces to capture Langfang City in the short term.
When the good news reached the imperial capital, Saul was beaming with joy and immediately ordered three generals to lead 500,000 troops to support Langfang City. Bain, on the other hand, sent people to publicize the good news with great fanfare, which greatly improved the morale of the entire Imperial Palace.
On the other side, in the military camp south of Langfang City, Jiang Feng personally met with Zhao Wenbin, intending to get a better understanding of the situation.
After a few brief greetings, Jiang Feng got to the point: "The leader of the women's corps is Su Yue. Have you ever had a head-on confrontation with her?"
"Su Yue did not show up. I speculate that this person should have powerful powers, but he is not a warrior, so he will not show up easily."
"It is rumored that Su Yue is one of the most beautiful women in the Gray Clan, but it's a pity that you didn't see her." Jiang Feng joked with a smile.
"Is this your focus?" Zhao Wenbin looked confused.
"if not?"
"We lost miserably this time. We lost the northern camp and lost nearly a thousand soldiers. More than five thousand soldiers were seriously injured. Do you really have nothing to say?" Zhao Wenbin said seriously.
"I have already heard the details of this battle from the military advisor. I have nothing to say because it is normal for you to lose."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wenbin suddenly became angry.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't question your ability. It's just that it's normal for you to lose this time. The weapons used by the Women's Corps are very high-level poisons, and some of the ingredients are similar to the poison Sukou Ye was exposed to. To I know that Su Kouye is still unconscious in Wangcheng, and even Xia Yashuang has no way to deal with this poison."
"Then according to you, our situation is very bad, but you don't seem worried at all."
"Let me ask you, how many female soldiers are there with poison-type weapons? All of them?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.
Zhao Wenbin recalled carefully and found that not all female soldiers had weapons with poisonous properties. Some of the more powerful female soldiers still use conventional weapons. Some female soldiers with slightly weaker force values are the ones who use poison-type weapons. This time the women's corps has a total strength of about 50,000, but only about 30,000 have poison-type weapons.
"Not all, just more than half." Zhao Wenbin replied.
"In this women's corps, the strength of the soldiers is between 80 and 100, and the average strength of the generals is about 150. It can be said that they are the elite of the elite. Even so, they cannot give everyone a poison-type weapon. So it can be judged that this toxin is not easy to produce and the total amount is very limited."
"That's true, but do you have any countermeasures?"
"It can be said that there is, or it can be said that there is not. Let's do this. Regroup your troops as soon as possible, and then join up with Su Haifanyan in the east. After that, the two armies will merge and attack the Gray Female Corps together, and destroy the reinforcements from the north. .”
"So what if we join forces with Su Haifanyan? Facing those poisonous weapons, we still have no advantage." Zhao Wenbin said puzzled.
Faced with Zhao Wenbin's doubts, Jiang Feng suddenly raised his voice and said excitedly: "Zhao Wenbin, the most brave general of the Southern Barbarians, Su Hai and Fanyan, the chief generals under Po Kong, plus nearly 100,000 elite soldiers with an average strength of about 100, and each soldier has Armor with a certain degree of poison resistance has such a huge advantage, but you actually told me that it has no advantage? "
There was some anger in Jiang Feng's words, as if he was saying: Such an excellent soldier and such a powerful general, how could he have any reason to retreat? You haven't even started to fight yet, but you're already getting scared? Are you such a bad person?
Zhao Wenbin fell into reflection and seemed to be awakened by Jiang Feng's words.
Yes, with 100,000 elite soldiers and excellent front-line generals, there is no reason to be timid.
"I understand, I will definitely defeat the enemy this time and avenge my shame." Zhao Wenbin said firmly.
"This is the Zhao Wenbin I know." Jiang Feng patted Zhao Wenbin on the shoulder.
"Then I'll leave now."
"Go." Jiang Feng smiled.
After Zhao Wenbin left the tent, Song Yuan, who had been silent at first, finally spoke: "I don't understand you a little. Are you sincere?"
"what do you mean?"
"Indeed, our soldiers' armors are all high-quality armors with certain poison resistance, but in the face of the kind of advanced poison that can make Su Kouye unconscious, this kind of armor has very limited effect. If this battle is fought forcefully, the losses will be heavy. And Zhao Wenbin, or Fanyan, or Su Hai may end up like Su Kouye." Song Yuan analyzed.
"If we cower when encountering a strong enemy, how can we fight this battle? The land east of the river is being eaten away by Ao Lie, and we don't have much time." Jiang Feng said seriously.
"Okay." Seeing Jiang Feng's solemn expression, Song Yuan said no more.
But in Song Yuan's heart, he still didn't quite understand that Jiang Feng had always been calm and cautious, but now he was getting more and more anxious. Could it be that Su Kouye's coma caused a big blow to Jiang Feng?
Before these doubts were dissipated in Song Yuan's mind, Jiang Feng made another even more puzzling move, which was to order a storming of Langfang City, scheduled for four o'clock tomorrow morning.
On the other side, Long Shaoyu Camp is located to the west of Langfang City.
When Long Shaoyu learned about the Women's Corps, he felt itchy in his heart. He really wanted to lead his troops to meet the Women's Corps in person. If he was lucky enough to capture the leader Su Yue alive, wouldn't it be a great achievement. And I heard that Su Yue was the most famous beauty in the Gray tribe, so I couldn't help but be curious to see her beauty.
But the military advisor kept stopping Long Shaoyu and asked him to stand still.
Long Shaoyu, as the nominal commander of the corps, felt a little aggrieved inside. Since the beginning of the Beiming War, Long Shaoyu could not fight 100% according to his own wishes, and had to ask the military advisor for his opinion on everything. The closer they are to Jiang Feng, the greater the power of the military advisor, as if Jiang Feng will support them.
At about 10 o'clock in the night, Long Shaoyu planned to take a nap, but the military advisor and several signal soldiers suddenly arrived.
Long Shaoyu stood up unhappily: "What's going on?"
"Urgent order, launch a strong attack on Langfang City on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning. We will attack from the west, and the lord will attack from the south."
"Are you planning to attack by force? Aren't you going to besiege the city and call for reinforcements?"
"Because of the incident with the Women's Corps, the war situation has changed. Three generals, Zhao Wenbin, Su Hai, and Fanyan, have led 100,000 elite troops to raid the Women's Corps. A fierce battle is going on in the north of Langfang City, and reinforcements from the Gray tribe are also coming from the north. will be involved, and we must capture Langfang City as soon as possible."
"So Zhao Wenbin and the others became bait to attract the Women's Corps and northern reinforcements, and Jiang Feng took advantage of them." Long Shaoyu had a good relationship with Zhao Wenbin, so there was a bit of resentment in his tone.
Unexpectedly, the military advisor increased his volume and shouted angrily: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, but General Long used the word "exploit" to blaspheme the duty of a soldier. What is the purpose of this?"
Long Shaoyu was very unhappy after hearing this, but he couldn't openly disobey the order: "I know, I'm just a little unhappy, but that doesn't mean I will violate military orders."
In Long Shaoyu's heart, he knew very well that he was just a pawn of Jiang Zhi's forces. But no matter what, as long as the chess pieces can play a role, Liu Chuan's forces will benefit greatly, so Long Shaoyu is willing to be a chess piece.
At four o'clock the next day, Long Shaoyu lit Langfang City on fire on time. Dozens of catapults, carrying explosive flint, hit the towering walls of Langfang City unceremoniously.
At the same time, Jiang Feng from the south also began to formally attack Langfang City. The catapults and battering rams were used together, causing the entire Langfang City to shake.
The lord of Langfang City was panicked. He knew very well that this was a fight to the death.
Because under normal circumstances, if you only use battering rams and no slings during a siege, it is for the purpose of seizing the city. This time Jiang Feng and Long Shaoyu used a large number of catapults, which meant that the catapults would smash the entire city wall to pieces. Even if the attackers win the battle, they only capture a ruined city.
Therefore, this battle is not to seize the city, but to massacre the city and reduce the zombie clan's vitality.
On the other side, north of Langfang City, Zhao Wenbin was in a bitter battle. The fighting started last night and has continued until now. The human soldiers are already exhausted, but unfortunately they are surrounded by 500,000 reinforcements from the north. 500,000 reinforcements, combined with the women's corps, launched an extremely brutal battle with Zhao Wenbin and others.
This time, no one in the zombie army escaped or retreated. It could be described as a real fierce battle.
The battle continued until ten o'clock in the morning. The women's corps had suffered casualties of more than 20,000, the casualties of ordinary zombie soldiers reached as high as 200,000, and the casualties of elite human soldiers had reached more than 40,000. This is the highest number of casualties among the human coalition forces since the beginning of the Battle of Beiming.
Black flares kept appearing in the sky, which were retreat flares fired continuously by several military divisions. But the remaining 60,000 elite soldiers were still surrounded and exhausted, and it seemed that there was no hope of breaking out.
Generals such as Fan Yan and Zhao Wenbin, who had already exhausted their powers, were seriously injured in trying to find a way to break out of the encirclement, and the durability of their armor was getting lower and lower.
At one point, the zombie soldier's sword almost pierced the armor and went straight to Zhao Wenbin's heart. Fortunately, Su Hai desperately helped, and Zhao Wenbin survived. Su Hai's left abdomen had been punctured twice, but due to strenuous exercise, he was unable to effectively stop the bleeding, causing his body to become increasingly weak.
Su Hai, Fan Yan, and Zhao Wenbin were all injured to varying degrees, and their physical strength had bottomed out. Now even an enemy soldier with a combat strength of 50 might kill them.
In order to protect the regiment leader, the lieutenants surrounded the three people one after another, intending to force a breakout and at least let the three people escape safely.
Zhao Wenbin shouted excitedly: "What are you doing? If the three of us leave, what will the other soldiers do? They will probably be wiped out."
One of the lieutenants shouted: "Even if you are still here, they will probably be wiped out."
Another deputy general also shouted: "In addition to the black flares, there are also blue and purple flares in the sky. This is the ultimate order of the military advisor, which is to protect you at all costs to break out of the encirclement, and at least let the three of you escape safely."
When the lieutenant shouted, the blood on his face kept dripping.
At that moment, whether it was Zhao Wenbin, Su Hai or Fan Yan, they were completely shocked and moved. The military advisors who had always been arrogant and domineering actually gave such a final order.
It turns out that they, no, it should be Jiang Feng, value the lives of the "chess pieces" so much.
