408: A Dead End! Turingto Betrayed!

After returning to the magnificent camp, all the strength in Xi Li's body seemed to have disappeared, and he lay down on the gorgeous big bed. Hunting text?

Looking at the gorgeous tent!

When I came here, I was really full of ambition, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. At that time, he was not a king, but rather a king.

And only on the first day of the war, they suffered such a disastrous defeat!

"Fifty-seven thousand people were killed in the daily battle, and four thousand were injured." Shi Nian, the head of Shaojun's residence, said.

Zhili said: "The first wave of siege troops who died was only 50,000 people, why are there more than 60,000 casualties?"

Shi Dao, Chief of Shaojun's Mansion: "We were also very surprised, but later we found out that when Sauron's giant iron pipe attacked from a long distance, it caused more than 10,000 casualties."

The so-called giant iron pipe is the artillery.

Zhili was horrified. He remembered that after the first round of siege troops were wiped out, the two sides clashed from a distance.

Sauron's hundreds of cannons fired hundreds of iron balls at a time. If you look at the details, it was indeed bloody and terrifying. All the victims were hit with broken bones and bones flying.

But zooming in on the entire battlefield, hundreds of iron balls were smashed into a position several miles in length and width, which is completely insignificant. Just like a few stones smashed into a pond, how could there be such a large number of casualties?

"The shelling for more than two hours caused more than 10,000 casualties." The Minister of the Shaojun Mansion said: "Our army is too dense."

450,000 troops, 60,000 casualties!

About one and a half percent!

There is a saying that an army loses its combat effectiveness when its casualties exceed 30%.

This is right and wrong!

For example, if an army of 1,000 soldiers is put into the battlefield, once there are more than 300 or 400 casualties, it is very likely that they will lose their combat effectiveness and collapse directly.

As for an army of 100,000 soldiers, 30,000 soldiers were thrown into the battlefield and the entire army was wiped out, but the remaining 70,000 soldiers had a complete organization and a very comprehensive command system, so its morale would be damaged, but its combat effectiveness still existed.

Therefore, the remaining nearly 400,000 troops in Zhili still have combat effectiveness.

but,

Whether it's morale or people's hearts, it can only be described as low.

At this moment, the sound of a griffin suddenly sounded in the air.

"Crunch..."

Shi Li hurriedly sat up.

Not long ago, he sent Griffon Knights to the northern battlefield and the southern Sirius Pass battlefield.

Less than an hour has passed now, and the Griffin Warrior who went to the northern battlefield must have returned.

A master eunuch entered the tent and knelt down towards Shili.

"Quickly tell me, how is the Nujiang battlefield in the north? How many troops from Earl Chuye have crossed the river?" Xili's voice was anxious and excited, full of hope.

His emotions are mixed.

Originally, he wanted to personally lead the Chinese army to be the first to rush into Tianshui City and destroy Suoshi.

Therefore, he hoped that Chu Ye in the northern battlefield and Jian Ze in the southern battlefield would have some winks, and not steal the limelight from him as the crown prince.

But at this time his central army was frustrated, so he put his hope on the northern battlefield.

From Zhili's point of view, the northern battlefield is the easiest to break through. Earl Chu Ye was so powerful that he regained the entire territory of Linhai City in less than three days.

Linhai City and Tianshui City are separated by the Nujiang River, without any walls or lines of defense, breaking through is easy.

Not to mention, at this time Sauron's main force is all in the Fengleibao defense line and Sirius Pass, and there will not be many people in the northern defense line.

As long as Chu Ye's army breaks through the Nu River and enters the hinterland of Tianshui City, Sauron will definitely die!

"Ask you something?" Zhili said angrily.

The eunuch samurai said: "Earl Chu Ye didn't have a single soldier to cross the Nu River!"

Immediately, Zhili was stunned, and furiously said: "Is he eating shit? He was stationed in Nanlinbao, and he marched in the middle of the night yesterday, only a few tens of miles away. He should have reached the north bank of the Nu River in the morning and started crossing the river. Why is it late at night? Haven't passed a single soldier yet?"

The eunuch samurai said: "Earl Chuye's army has rushed to the north bank of the Nu River to establish a position last night, and has prepared enough rafts and rafts. This morning, it will start to cross the Nu River! But, when Sauron's new weapon unexpectedly hit Next, almost all the troops crossing the river were wiped out, and the positions on the north bank also suffered heavy losses. After a day of fierce fighting, there were more than 26,000 casualties, and they have retreated to Nanlin Fort to rest!"

Shi Li's ears began to roar again.

It seems that I can't hear anything, and the surrounding sounds seem to come from beyond the sky.

The central army was defeated, and the left wing was defeated!

In just one day, ** tens of thousands of people were killed or injured!

Even if they lost so badly in the northern battlefield, then there is no need to look forward to the Tianlang Pass battlefield in the south!

Jian Ze is the younger brother of the Marquis of Jianyong. Although he served as the commander of the Southwest Army with the support of Zhili, many officers of the Southwest Army are Turingtuo's students. Up to now, Jian Ze has not been able to grasp the Southwest Army.

Therefore, in Zhili's view, the battlefield in the south must be very pessimistic.

An hour and a half later!

The griffin warriors sent by Xili to the battlefield of Sirius Pass have returned!

"Earl Jianze, led the right-wing army to attack the Sirius Pass, and lost every day, with more than 59,000 casualties!"

Hearing this report, Shili's head was about to explode!

Come on, the Chinese army's attack on Fengleibao's defense line only resulted in more than 60,000 casualties, but you actually suffered 59,000 casualties at Sirius Pass?

How long is Fengleibao's defense line of four miles? Your Sirius Pass city wall is at best one mile long!

Are you, Jian Ze, a pig?

Attacking a city gate that is one mile long, can you kill 59,000 people in just one day?

Even if a pig came to fight, he wouldn't be defeated so badly, would he?

However, after listening to the eunuch and warrior's report, Zhili was completely stunned!

Jian Ze is not only not a pig, but a tiger!

"Earl Jianze's right-wing army has climbed up to Sirius Pass three times, and even completely broke through Sirius Pass once, occupying the outer city wall, and attacking the hinterland of Sirius Pass. But in the end they were defeated by Yan Chuoer and Yan Yan's rock bandits. Sirius Guan has also been retaken!"

After listening, Shili suddenly stood up!

This, this Jian Ze looks very ordinary, doesn't he? Why are you so brave?

The Chinese army's Fengleibao battlefield and the Nujiang battlefield in the north were fought so badly, but the Tianlangguan battlefield in the south was fought so fiercely?

...

In Fenglei Castle, Sauron received the latest battle report, and the cold sweat on his back continued to break out, and he was frightened.

Unexpectedly, what he thought was the weakest line of defense in the north turned out to be the most beautiful. It almost made Chu Ye unable to fight back, and the casualties were minimal.

And the battlefield of Sirius Pass, which he thought was strong and dangerous, turned out to be full of dangers!

The commander-in-chief of the Tianlangguan battlefield is the combination of Yan Chuoer and Yan Yan.

On the battlefield, the two of them did not make any mistakes, but they were still rushed up to the city wall of Sirius Pass by Jian Ze three times.

The last time, even the outer perimeter of the Sirius Pass was lost, so he had to retreat to the rear castle, and then mobilized 20,000 rock bandits to defeat Jian Ze's army that rushed into the Sirius Pass and take back the Sirius Pass!

In the battlefield report, both Yan Yan and Yan Chuoer pointed out that the Sirius Pass is too narrow, and there are no shooting holes in the city wall, so the number of artillery and trebuchets that can be placed is too limited to maximize the firepower.

Moreover, the artillery is not as powerful as the giant trebuchet at medium distances. In order to place more artillery, Sauron reduced a large number of catapults.

The most important thing is that when the army is approaching under the city wall, because the position of the artillery is too high, it becomes a shooting blind spot within tens of meters under the city wall, and it is impossible to shoot large-scale troops on the city wall with shotgun.

The most critical mistake is that the city wall is too narrow, and the soldiers who manipulate the artillery and transport the shells account for the majority. There was a serious shortage of soldiers entering hand-to-hand combat, which led to the final breach of the city wall.

As for how Jian Ze conquered the Sirius Pass?

It's very simple, human lives pile up without money!

Like moths rushing towards a flame, they have been madly rushing towards the city wall, not coming in waves, but continuously rushing upwards.

These soldiers could only charge forward, because if they dared to take a step back, the 20,000 supervising troops behind them would shoot arrows without hesitation.

Those who dare to retreat, die!

Zhili was reluctant to use up the fireproof cloak on the first day, but Jianze sent 20,000 soldiers wearing fireproof cloaks to the battlefield on the first day.

In short, under the almost crazy and desperate attack of Jian Ze.

The defense line of Sirius Pass, which was thought to be stable, was almost breached. In other words, it has been breached.

Many of the generals of the Southwest Army were Turingtuo's disciples, and Jian Ze couldn't fully grasp the Southwest Army after several years.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Jian Ze sent the army out to attack the city so free of money. Unlike Earl Chu Ye, who regards the Northern Army as his own territory, even the death of a soldier feels distressed.

The Southwest Legion and Turingtuo maintain the same will, that is to completely eliminate Sauron, so they will not be passive and idle on the battlefield.

Therefore, on the first day at the Sirius Pass battlefield, such a result was unexpectedly achieved.

Sauron only had 170,000 troops at hand!

The Fengleibao defense line has 90,000 troops, the Nujiang defense line in the north is less than 50,000, and the army left for the Tianlangguan defense line is only more than 30,000!

Yan Chuoer didn't mention much in the battle report, but in Yan Yan's battle report, he expressed his respect and admiration for the Rock Bandit Corps in the strongest tone.

And repeatedly emphasized that if it weren't for the existence of the Rock Pirates, the Sirius Pass would have been completely broken!

At that time, Jian Ze's tens of thousands of troops poured into the Sirius Pass, and the more than 10,000 defenders outside the Sirius Pass began to collapse after 30% of their casualties.

At the critical moment, Queen Yan Chuoer led an army of 20,000 rock bandits to fight fiercely with twice as many enemies in Sirius pass!

These rock bandits are really like wild beasts on the battlefield. Where there is danger, where there are many enemies, after being stabbed by the enemy, they cut off the opponent's head with a grinning smile, and slashed on their own chest together.

Facing this beast-like army, the mighty Jian Ze army retreated steadily and was killed out of the Sirius Pass.

In the end, on the first day of the battle, the Sirius guards suffered over 10,000 casualties, and the Jianze guards suffered nearly 60,000 casualties!

After reading the two battle reports over and over again, Sauron's hands trembled a little.

He found that he really only focused on weapons, and he really underestimated the enemy.

Especially in this sea battle with the rock demon, after winning a big victory because of the artillery, he felt that the artillery was omnipotent.

Therefore, after he placed more than a hundred cannons at Sirius Pass, he felt at ease. In the entire Tianlangguan battlefield, only more than 30,000 people were dispatched, and there were 200,000 enemies to face.

As a result, due to the special geographical environment of Sirius Pass and the primitive and backward structure of the city wall of Sirius Pass, the power of the artillery was far less than imagined.

In the end, the Sirius Pass battlefield was full of dangers, and it was almost breached.

If it wasn't for the rock bandit army being too fierce and tough, the Sirius Pass would have been breached long ago, and Jian Ze's hundreds of thousands of troops would have rushed into the hinterland of Tianshui City long ago.

Of course, thanks to the narrowness of the Sirius Pass, Jian Ze's army could not pour more into the city pass. Otherwise, no matter how brave an army of 20,000 Rock Pirates is, it will be difficult to withstand four or five times as many enemies.

Today's Tianshui City is extremely hard and extremely powerful.

But after breaking through this layer of shell, Tianshui City has no defensive power inside.

Once Jian Ze's hundreds of thousands of troops rush into the hinterland of Tianshui City? The consequences were unimaginable.

The main city of Tianshui has no defenses and can be breached easily.

Sauron placed cannons on the three battlefields, but the main city of Tianshui only placed seven or eight cannons symbolically, and they were still inferior products.

And the most frightening thing was that once Jian Ze led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack Fengleibao's defense line from behind, he would attack back and forth with Xili's army.

At that time, it will be difficult for the real gods to save Sauron!

Sauron closed his eyes and began to reflect deeply.

That's right, artillery is great, especially in naval battles, it is completely revolutionary, and it can make other navies helpless.

Even on the land battlefield, whether it is long-range shelling or nearby shotguns, it has amazing lethality.

But artillery is not omnipotent, especially in some special geographical environments, its performance will be unsatisfactory.

Before the invention of high explosives, artillery was still a little bit far from the title of God of War.

Princess Xiyan stepped forward, rubbed Sauron's temple lightly, kissed him on the mouth, and said softly: "My lord, there are only more than 20,000 troops in the Tianlangguan battlefield now, and the silver wolf army has suffered too many casualties." ,Low morale."

During the battle during the day, the Silver Wolf Legion on the battlefield of Sirius Pass suffered over 40% casualties. The morale of this army composed of mercenaries should have been greatly traumatized.

"Should we allocate 10,000 troops to support Sirius Pass?" Princess Xiyan asked.

Because of the addition of Luan Yang's Revenge Army, there were 10,000 more defenders in Fengleibao's defense line. So Xiyan would say, should we send 10,000 troops to support Sirius Pass.

It's a tough decision. Sauron's military strength is indeed stretched.

On the surface, Fengleibao's defense line was fought so beautifully today, with only a small number of casualties, more than 60,000 troops from Zhili were wiped out. Moreover, the defenders of Fengleibao didn't seem to play a big role, and there was no sword fight at all!

Most of the enemy casualties were caused by artillery, trebuchets, and kerosene. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in sending 10,000 troops to support Sirius Pass.

However, Sauron thought of tomorrow, the day after tomorrow's battle!

Jian Ze's record of almost capturing the Sirius Pass will strongly stimulate Xi Li, so he will adopt the same tactics.

That is to put all their eggs in one basket, use their lives desperately, mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at a time, and frantically attack Fengleibao's defense line.

At this time, Zhili is already like a trapped beast, and there is only one way in front of him, which is to be reborn after death!

Put all your eggs in one basket and fight to the end! This is the only option for Shili.

"No, there is no need to support the Sirius Pass." Sauron shook his head and said, "The most dangerous moment of the Sirius Pass has passed. Go all out, then decline, and finally exhaust. Today's battle situation will make Jian Ze's army feel that even if they break through It's useless to pass the Sirius Pass, and you still have to face the army of rock bandits like wild animals. And I'm sure that Jian Ze will never be able to organize such a crazy attack tomorrow. Today's casualties have completely hurt the Southwest Army. bone."

Princess Xiyan nodded. She noticed that in Yan Yan and Yan Chuoer's battle report, they only reviewed the mistakes made in today's battle, and did not mention reinforcements.

Sauron said: "Instead, our Fengleibao defense line may face a bloody and bitter battle next."

But at this moment, Zhuang Zhixuan's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Master, Turingtuo's emissary is asking to see you."

Sauron couldn't help being startled, Turingtuo actually sent someone over?

...

Soon, the envoy of Turingta appeared in front of Sauron, lifted his black cloak and mask, revealing his handsome face.

It turned out to be... Turing dust!

"Greetings, Your Highness the Princess, and Your Excellency Sauron." Tu Lingchen saluted meticulously!

Sauron was stunned and said, "Turing Chen, what are you doing here?"

Turing Chen said: "Come to negotiate!"

Sauron asked, "What are you talking about?"

Turing Chen said: "There are many things we can talk about, such as the fact that the Turing family is loyal to Her Highness Sheyan."

As soon as these words came out, Sauron was completely shocked!

Of course Sauron knew about Turingtuo's double-faced swords, but when he was born, he still felt that the reality was too cold.

Sauron said: "In other words, betrayed Shili?"

"Yes!" Turing Chen said, "Sell out Xili and help Princess Xiyan ascend the throne!"

...

Note: The second more than 4,000 words are sent, please support, thank you everyone! (To be continued.)
