Chapter 533 The Attack Begins
In fact, Yi Yi's idea is very simple, that is, he does not have the so-called military level, nor can he command an army to fight. What he knows is only the art of controlling people.
The most important thing is that his ability to control people relies more on his own identity. The prestige of the court in Jiangnan has obviously begun to decline, so he needs to train himself, or hide his own, so as not to make his Waste abilities exposed.
And this is why he made this arrangement.
Because in his opinion, his Jiangnan camp seems to be unable to defeat the White Lotus Sect at this stage.
So holding back the White Lotus Sect so that it cannot expand, and then relying on Daqian's huge size to consume the White Lotus Sect, is his current choice.
So in this way of thinking, it may be a mistake, but his idea is indeed correct to a certain extent.
"Master Xiang, look, Daqian's army is coming!"
In this kind of battle, both sides naturally sent out enough scouts to investigate the situation, so the Daqian army sent troops to fight, which naturally caused the White Lotus Sect to move.
It was not a very big pass. The generals guarding the city couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts when they saw that there were more than [-] Daqian troops approaching the city.
"Quickly, report to the general that Daqian is attacking us. There are more than [-] people in the vanguard. We can no longer withstand it and ask for support."
This is really asking for reinforcements before the war has begun, but there is nothing we can do. The troops defending the city only have [-] guardian troops and some forcibly recruited religious troops. Facing the enemy's attack of tens of thousands of troops, they cannot defend it at all. !
As for how long it can last, it depends on the intensity of Daqian's attack.
In this regard, after the arrival of Daqian's army, they did not attack directly, but began to repair on the spot and then build siege equipment.
The newly formed Jiangnan Camp is different from the original Jiangnan Camp. Although the original Jiangnan Camp has brave soldiers, it does not pay much attention to military craftsmen and the like, so that the engineering equipment is always insufficient, otherwise it will not always be possible to climb. Yilan County.
If they had sufficient engineering equipment at that time, even if Yilan County would not have fallen at that time, the Fifth Infantry Brigade would definitely be in a hard fight.
The newly formed Jiangnan Camp was different. These were formed by county soldiers or some militia groups who often fought against Bai Lian. Although the soldiers were not very brave, they still valued life-saving things.
Therefore, among the army, if they want to attack, they must build enough siege equipment before they can attack. Shield vehicles and the like are the top priority.
You can say that they cherish their lives or are cowardly, but precisely because of this, their attack is really methodical, unhurried and steady.
Similarly, the White Lotus Sect also has enough experience in dealing with this. After all, they have been pushed back by Daqian many times in the past two years, and they have already developed their abilities.
So in this case, what really determines the fate of a city or an army is not their own, but the reinforcements from the rear outside the battlefield that can arrive in time.
This is a test for each other's general planning, and it is also a huge test for each other's intelligence.
If there is an error in army dispatch due to incorrect intelligence, once it is breached and the enemy seizes the opportunity, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage.
Likewise, if handled properly, you can at least hold the line of defense. In good cases, you may even be able to eat up the enemy's army, and then take the opportunity to expand your results.
In theory, it is.
However, it was actually Yang Shida who fell into deep thought as he looked at the letters for help sent from many passes.
In this regard, Jiang Fenghua also frowned and said: "If these news of asking for help are true, it proves that Daqian divided his troops to attack, and each army has more than [-] people. What does this mean? ?"
"Aren't they afraid that we will concentrate our forces and take advantage of the opportunity to eat up several of their armies?"
After listening to Jiang Fenghua's words, Yang Shida couldn't help but look up at him, knowing that this was for him, and wanted to concentrate his forces to eat one or two of Daqian's troops.
In response, he directly handed some information to Jiang Fenghua, "See for yourself!"
Jiang Fenghua took the intelligence and looked at it carefully, and found that the intelligence stated that two large armies in Daqian were heading east, and seemed to be preparing to attack from Pengzhou.
The intelligence of these two armies did not specifically describe how many people there were, but it was generally known that the total number was about 6.
So Jiang Fenghua frowned even more fiercely, "General, if this is the case, are you going to divide your troops into two groups to fight?"
"But what does this mean? To suddenly weaken the main force by 6 or [-] people, is it possible that Da Gan's brains have been kicked by a donkey?"
Yang Shida took back the information and explained: "There are more than 20 troops in this campaign. Now there are only 6 or 10,000 troops missing on the front line. There are still [-]+ troops, which is enough."
"Besides, have you seen it? They attacked a total of five groups, each with about 10 troops. This means that the reserve force behind Dagan still has nearly [-] troops."
"With so many troops and the two sides so close, do you think we can succeed if we concentrate our army to eat one of them?"
Jiang Fenghua was a little jealous of Daqian, "I'm so wealthy."
Then he was puzzled and asked: "What on earth did Da Gan think?"
Yang Shida shook his head: "I don't know either. Do you think he is trying to hold back our army so that he can provide cover for his [-] to [-]-strong army?"
"But this is obviously wrong. You must know that the army is only tens of thousands of people. With our layout in Pengzhou, it is obviously impossible for them to achieve any kind of results??"
Yes, Yang Shida is relying on serious tactics to conduct deductions. According to the current situation in Pengzhou, the tens of thousands of people in Daqian will not be able to capture many cities, and then they will inevitably be beaten back by the protective army and the skitarii who reacted.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for Daqian to open up a new battlefield.
Not only that, if Dagan gathers all the troops together, it will put huge pressure on them.
However, it is difficult to understand, and now we must ensure that the frontline pass is not lost.
So under Yang Shida's mobilization, the army began to move forward to reinforce the front line.
However, the more troops involved, the more difficult the operation becomes, so the front line must withstand it for at least four to five days.
At this time, after three days of stability, there were also small-scale confrontations between each other, but Da Qianzhong finally completed the construction of the engineering equipment, and then immediately launched an attack.
"Brothers, take this Jianbaguan today and show off the power of our army!"
The general of Daqian roared angrily and began to command the army to attack the city.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the army began to attack with shield carts, trench bridges, and ladders.
