"Ma Yin! Xu Dexun! I will give you five thousand elite soldiers and thirty thousand auxiliary soldiers. We will attack Li Kaifang day and night with all our strength!"
Sun Ru shouted sharply.
Even when he was furious, Sun Ru also instinctively maintained his normal thinking.
If we retreat at this time, we can only save Wanshou City.
Wang Jing, who attacked Quy Nhon, led the cavalry.
Sun Ru led the main force to retreat and attack Quy Nhon, while Wang Jing could advance or retreat, and would not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Huainan army.
And retreating is not that easy.
Sometimes retreating troops can turn into a rout if they are not careful, as was the case in the Battle of Feishui in the former Qin Dynasty.
When Sun Ru retreated, Li Kaifang led his army to pursue him. The Huainan Army had no foothold and could easily be attacked from both sides by Li Kaifang and Wang Jing.
Instead of retreating, it is better to fight hard. As long as the rocky mountain in front of him is captured, what will Wang Jing do if he takes Quy Nhon? Shouldn't we bring people to support us to prevent the foundation from being shaken?
And this kind of aggressive attack is more in line with Sun Ru's wishes.
"The last general takes command!"
Ma Yin, Xu Dexun and others decisively accepted the order at this time.
boom!
The Huainan Army captured many craftsmen when they were in Wanshou City. With the full operation of tens of thousands of troops, these craftsmen quickly built the stone trebuchet.
When the veterans of the Huainan Army gathered the auxiliary soldiers and attacked densely towards the rocky mountain camp, the trebuchets kept roaring, and stones fell from the sky, killing many of the guardsmen who were blocking the front.
It was hard to hold on to the back of a three-wheel rock dump truck.
The Huainan army pushed out archers again, and two thousand archers fired in unison.
Whoosh whoosh! Sharp arrows roared out, turning into a rain of arrows covering a large space. It almost has an aura that blocks out the sky.
The guard army, which was originally the army of the former Qin Dynasty, was at the front.
Some of them were Hu people and some Han people. After being organized into the Guard Army, they were naturally unwilling to accept it. In the Sihong Army Mansion, the status and treatment of the Guard Army were lower than those of the soldiers.
General Sihong, who went to serve in the Guard Army, made it very clear that if you want to become a soldier and stand out and get more rewards, you can only achieve military exploits.
Within the Sihong military government system, he has the greatest military exploits.
Now this battle is an opportunity to make military exploits.
When the arrow rain fell, they immediately raised their shields and curled up as much as possible. The experienced veterans joined forces to form a shield wall to block the arrow rain.
However, sharp arrows still roared out, knocking every soldier to the ground.
After the rain of arrows, the Huainan army rushed to the front of the Luanshishan defense system. A large number of soldiers roared and shouted, bombarding them like a surging tide.
"The Huainan Army is using its full strength!"
On the rocky mountain.
Li Kaifang, Bu Zhi and others looked forward with solemn expressions. Li Kaifang was a general with rich experience in battle, and Bu Zhi was very thoughtful and wise. He could see this.
"The Huainan Army's attacks in the past few days are more like a test, constantly squeezing the strength of the Taiping Camp! They probably want the Lord to personally lead troops to support and win in field battles..."
"Why are they suddenly launching an all-out attack? This is different from their plan. Well, could it be that something big happened that made Sun Ru change his mind?"
Bu Zhi thought to himself.
"If you want to break through this general's fortress, these troops are not enough!"
A sneer appeared on Li Kaifang's face.
He took a step forward and kept arranging his troops. Whenever there was a gap in the defense system, the Taiping soldiers would fill the gap just right.
If one person from the Taiping Camp and Weisuo Army died, five or even more from the Huainan Army would die.
but.
As time passed and several hours passed, Li Kaifang couldn't help but change her expression.
Because the Huainan Army's offensive was like a tide, constantly surging and seemingly never ending. Before the previous wave of offensive stopped, the second wave of offensive came again.
This was different when Taiping Camp was besieged by the former Qin army.
The former Qin army deliberately consumed the Taiping camp's physical strength and deliberately slowed down the attack. The Huainan Army invaded like fire, and after launching all its strength, it was extremely sharp.
In less than half a day, four of the Taiping camp's fortresses had been lost.
The opponent's offensive was too fierce, and Li Kaifang had to abandon the outer defense line in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.
"General, the guardsmen have lost two thousand and three, and our Taiping battalion's elite soldiers have also lost six hundred...the losses are too great!"
A deputy Qianhu covered in blood came to report.
His face was a little pale, and he was obviously seriously injured.
In the rebellious army, generals who have not condensed Gang Qi are likely to be shot to death by stray arrows. It is impossible for a mere deputy Qianhu to lead his troops and horses to fight the enemy at close range without being injured.
Li Kaifang's face twitched.
He looked at the defense line in front. At this time, the Huainan Army was still attacking furiously. The opponent's losses were also not small, but with the dense auxiliary troops, they had an advantage.
To defeat a large number of soldiers with a small number, and to defeat the few with numbers, this is the correct way of war.
The so-called military formations and tactics are to use various methods to allow one's own side to fight with the enemy's troops, to defeat the smaller ones with more troops, and then continuously gain the upper hand.
As a general, Li Kaifang naturally understood this truth.
But in the current situation, there is no room for the so-called art of war. The Huainan Army has tens of thousands of auxiliary troops and five thousand elite troops, taking turns to crush them.
He had no room to move.
They can only continue to fight the Huainan Army with the lives of their soldiers.
kill!
At this time, Li Kaifang and Bu Zhi saw an armored general running out of the Huainan army. This man was tall and armed with a long sword, roaring out from the crowd.
As soon as the sword flashed, the elite Taiping soldiers and guardsmen in the camp screamed, and blood flew everywhere.
Third level general!
The general of the Huainan Army suddenly led his men to attack the camp.
"court death!"
The deputy Qianhu who came to report the situation had blue veins on his forehead and growled.
Without waiting for Li Kaifang to speak, he turned around and quickly ran towards the enemy general. The place where the opponent breaks out is the defense line of his soldiers.
"General, I think the Huainan Army is about to be exhausted. Otherwise, how could a general break out of the battle in person?"
Bu Zhi spoke to comfort him.
Li Kaifang clenched her fists and nodded slightly. The general personally broke into the formation, possibly to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop... Bu Zhao's words were nothing more than comfort.
He is the commander of Rock Mountain and cannot take action easily. If he falls into the formation, the defense line of Rock Mountain will be completely ruined if there is no one to command it.
The opposing general was wreaking havoc in the formation.
He could only rely on elite soldiers and horses to set up military formations to restrict the opponent.
In the fierce bloody battle.
The sky gradually darkens.
As if sensing the blood on the ground, the sunset reflected the blood-red sky. There were flashes of fire and raging black smoke. Even the fierce and violent attack of the Huainan Army failed to break through the defense line of Luanshi Mountain.
However, five of Rock Mountain's nine layers of defense have been lost. The enemy general who personally led the assault was eventually repelled by the Taiping soldiers.
The Huainan Army was like a ferocious beast licking its wounds, and chose to retreat after nightfall.
Both sides are gathering strength and waiting for the fight the next day.
At this time, Li Kaifang and Bu Zhi finally received the order from Wang Jing.
They still have more than 2,000 Taiping battalion elite soldiers and nearly 3,000 garrison soldiers left. A total of five thousand soldiers and horses continued to resist the Huainan Army here for two days.
"My lord, you really think highly of me!"
Li Kaifang couldn't help but said.
If the Huainan Army continues today's ferocious offensive, his troops will suffer greater losses.
However, the military order is like a mountain.
Li Kaifang took a breath and could only take the military order from Emuqi.
