Zhen Xiong looked at his subordinates below gloomily.
These people were frightened to death by the strange ball in the sky during the day.
It wasn't until it got dark and the strange ball was gone that I dared to leave the camp.
But you really can't blame them. The people on the strange ball during the day were too cruel.
Not to mention the low-level generals who were not qualified to see him, even those who could enter this big tent were missing three people.
There is also the strange fire that cannot be extinguished and can burn in the rain.
Fortunately, Zhen Xiong had kept an eye out, and when he came, his tent was no different from an ordinary tent, otherwise he would probably have thrown those strange fires on his head.
"Tomorrow... you must win Baozi City for me tomorrow!"
Zhen Xiong's voice was a bit hoarse and dry.
I originally thought that with a newly equipped 600,000-strong army, I was able to take Baozi City overnight with another surprise attack.
But who would have thought that the Tang army would see through the raid on the first night. Fortunately, those who went up to die were all natives captured from Nanyang.
But on the first day, when his regular army arrived, they still had not breached Baozi City!
This was just a border military town of the Tang Dynasty, and he brought almost all the elites in the country except the navy, but he couldn't take Baozi City in one day.
This made Zhen Xiong, who had been so proud when he set off, a little confused. You must know that he had said that the Tang army could not use their divine cannons, but they could only defeat Baozi City in one day at most.
But fortunately, although Baozi City was not captured on the first day, the defenders of Baozi City suffered heavy casualties.
I thought I should win it today.
As a result, Tang Jun flew out a strange ball from the city again. The sharp archer on the ball had deadly arrows.
"Every army will report the situation! Tomorrow morning, we will make the final blow!"
As Tang Ping and the others thought, they were originally on the border of East Vietnam, and Zhen Xiong had no intention of fighting a protracted war, so he only brought food and grass for a few days.
At first, he planned to kill Tang Ping and then retreat. However, he was nailed to death in front of Baozi City for two days in a row, unable to advance even an inch.
"The four naval forces suffered more than 30,000 casualties, more than 10,000 killed, and... thirty officers above the general level were killed."
"Tianhe Army, more than 40,000 people were wounded, more than 20,000 were killed, and 22 officers above General Pi were killed." "Nujiang Army, more than 60,000 people were injured, more than 40,000 were killed, and 30 officers above General Pi were killed. six people."
"The Nanyang Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties and more than 50,000 casualties. Forty-eight officers above the general level were killed."
After each army report, the corners of Zhen Xiong's mouth twitched.
In just two days, his army of 600,000 was reduced by 120,000, and there were still more than 100,000 wounded soldiers.
The 100,000-strong Nanyang Army that had just been formed was basically wiped out in these two days.
"Where is Datang? How many troops does Datang have?"
"The news that came back before the war was that there were a total of 100,000 soldiers and auxiliaries in Baozi City. In the past two days, they were probably lost... about 10,000."
With a sound of "Bang!", Zhen Xiong kicked over the table in front of him angrily.
"We suffered 200,000 casualties in the army, but in exchange for 10,000 Tang troops? Ten thousand!!"
You must know that in the past few years, he has led people to sweep across the East China Sea, but he has suppressed Fuyu, Fuso, Silla, and Goguryeo. In addition, he has opened up Nanyang, and he even thinks that his 600,000-strong army can fight against the Tang army. Wrist.
But I never thought about the reality, so I gave him a big bag and defeated a Tang army town by myself, and it ended up like this.
"General, the Xuanjia Cavalry brought by Tang Ping are helping to defend the city. Their Xuanjia is so powerful that our new ordinary swords cannot break their Xuanjia. Only heavy weapons can cause a little damage. ."
"Hmph, I will definitely kill all those trash from the Ministry of Industry when I get back. I spent so much money and bought so much good iron, but I still can't build armor like the Tang Army. What do you think I need them for?" Zhen Xiong His eyes were red, and besides being angry, he was now more afraid.
The Tang Dynasty was too strong, too powerful.
There is no doubt that he will soon receive thunderous revenge from the Tang Dynasty.
He has even begun to consider evacuating all cities outside the water area, and then digging out all the bridges when he returns, relying on the natural barriers of the Yangtze River and naval forces to block Datang.
And tomorrow will be his last ditch effort. If he still can't take Baozi City tomorrow, he will immediately choose to retreat. Otherwise, when reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive to bite him, it will be difficult to escape.
It's just that Zhen Xiong is not feeling well, and the same goes for the Tang Army in Baozi City. Even though their number of killed seems to be less than one-tenth of Dongyue's, almost all of the remaining people are injured.
After Xue Rengui got off the hot air balloon, he couldn't even lift his hands. More than 100 of the 1,500 black armor cavalry were lost, which was already the largest battle loss data in recent years.
"Three days, no, two days at most, two days at most, we will definitely have reinforcements!" There is a blood mark on Yao Yuanzhi's face, which was scratched by a cold arrow when he was commanding on the city wall today. It made him look much tougher.
Tang Ping also took out all the medicine he brought out, but for so many wounded soldiers, it really didn't have much effect.
Everyone in the Xuanjia Cavalry will carry a first aid kit, and at this time all the first aid supplies in it have been used up.
If it weren't for these, the number of casualties in Baozi City would never have been more than 10,000. It is very likely that even Baozi City would have been breached today.
"But general, how are we going to defend tomorrow?" A deputy general asked: "Our army and the cooks are all on board, and now there are not many arrows and utensils to defend the city."
"How to defend? Guard with your life!" Yao Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows: "At five o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will demolish the house, bring appropriate stones, bricks and wood to the city wall and smash those dogs to death for me."
On the first day of the siege, several gates of Baozi City were broken. Yao Yuanzhi had already demolished a house once to block the gates.
After all, Baozicheng's troops did not have the right to leave the city for a surprise attack. Even if there were 1,500 black armored cavalry, it would be difficult to get an advantage in front of the trenches and horses.
"Everyone, think about what is behind us? Behind us are the people who are frugal and have to spend their money to give us the good things at home!"
"Eastern Vietnam invades our border. If we cannot show our Tang Dynasty's bloody character, the surrounding countries will be shaken! So this time, including me, we will die on the wall of Baozi City."
What Yao Yuanzhi saw was not just this battle. If Baozi City was easily captured by Dongyue, then the strength of the entire Tang Dynasty border defense force would be questioned by surrounding countries.
Even though they just went to Chang'an to pay tribute, as soon as they discovered the flaws of the Tang Dynasty, they would turn into a pack of wolves, and everyone would come up with grinning teeth and want to bite off a piece of the Tang Dynasty's flesh.
So they can only win this battle but not lose!
