Chapter 419 ?????? Divide and Attack

Chapter 419   Divide and Attack

"My lord, brothers have suffered heavy losses!"

The generals who watched the battle together from the rear saw that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers rushed up without even splashing a single splash, and their corpses were scattered all over the field.

Their soldiers are elite, and the quality of their soldiers is higher than that of the opponent, but no matter how high they are, they still can't reach the point of picking up boulders with bare hands, right?

Right now, the two sides are not fighting on the plains, but are engaged in siege warfare. As the siege side does not have an advantage in terms of location, if it continues to be beaten like this, the 100,000 soldiers will be wiped out!

Zheng Yuanyun swept around the generals, and said coldly: "Is there no loss in the war, or else you go and ask the opponent to surrender."

"this……"

One sentence choked everyone speechless.

In fact, their original intention is not to care about the loss of soldiers. To put it bluntly, they have command power over these soldiers, but they do not have the right to own them. All soldiers belong to the empire, and they can only be seconded when there is a war. .

It is almost impossible for the soldier seconded this time to be the same person as the next time, so to say how much affection there is between the soldier and the general is probably not necessarily the case.

So this also caused a result, that is, most generals don't care about the lives and deaths of soldiers. As long as it is beneficial to their own tactical arrangements, even if they need to send a team to die, they will not frown wrinkle.

In this world, if you can become a talented general or a wise adviser, then your status will be very high, so high that it is hard for ordinary civilians to compare.

But this is only for the generals.

For the lowest level of soldiers, their lives... are worthless.

The population base of the four empires is huge, and a large number of civilians live in hardship. It is not easy to maintain a sufficient food and clothing.

And if you want to change this status quo, and you don't have the qualifications to lead the army, then serving as a soldier is the best choice.

If you are lucky enough, you may not encounter a big battle from joining the army until you leave the army, but just deal with some tasks such as suppressing bandits with a very low battle loss rate, and safely support the family on the military salary.

And if luck is not so good...

Just like those soldiers who are now charging forward, they don't know if they have a whole body after they die, or if they can return to their roots and their homeland.

In the eyes of Zheng Yuanyun and most of the generals, the lives of the soldiers are actually just such a sentence: how can there be no losses in war?

The urgency of the generals did not come from the loss of soldiers, but from the anxiety of this situation where there was no progress.

After all, they are going deep alone. So far, they have heard that reinforcements are on the way, but they have not even seen a shadow of a man. Therefore, in this case, the troops on hand will be one less. In the end, you can no longer deal with unexpected situations, and if you are attacked by the enemy, it will not be worth the loss.

How could Zheng Yuanyun not understand what they were thinking?

So after being scolded, he quickly came up with a way to deal with it.

Just this way...

"Pass down the order, the reserve 200,000 stormtroopers will divide into two wings and continue to attack the city!"

Still... still fighting?

The generals looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Seeing Zheng Yuanyun stare, he said angrily: "Why, my commander's order doesn't work anymore?"

"No, no, no... no, that... obey!"

One of the lieutenants shook his body violently, and quickly responded, waving his hand to let his messenger soldiers play the flag.

The battlefield was spread out widely. If Zheng Yuanyun's orders were passed on by word of mouth, it would take a long time for them to reach the ears of the combat troops in front. At this time, semaphore is a very convenient and quick way to communicate.

An order is an order, and no one can disobey it. Therefore, even though the front is still howling, the Qingyang Empire is still following the order, and a large group of soldiers rushed out from the two wings to divide the Tianyuan in a roundabout way. The city is on both sides of the city wall.

"Oh? Learned to be smart?"

At the top of Tianyuan City, as the saying goes, stand tall and see far away. The orders issued by Zheng Yuanyun did not escape Ouyang Lixing's eyes. When he saw the opponent divide his troops and make a surprise attack, he was not frightened or frightened. Instead, he smiled slightly and ordered: "Let them go deeper and start again."

"yes!"

The messenger soldiers under his command responded, and hastily danced with flags, sending signals to the left and right.

Generally speaking, because the two ends of the city wall are far away from the city gate, they will not become the preferred attack direction of the attacking party.

Furthermore, the defenders of the city will not completely concentrate their troops near the city gate. Although the closer the city gate is, the more troops there will be, but the two ends of the city wall are not completely devoid of attack power.

On the contrary, the further you go to the end, the more troops you will actually have.

The reason is that the city wall will be a corner when it reaches the end, and soldiers from another city wall will be stationed on the other side of the corner.

Therefore, if you want to steal chickens from both ends of the city wall and climb to the top of the city, it is also very difficult, and it is like a head-on fight.

But right now, Zheng Yuanyun still has one certain point that he hasn't figured out.

That is, is it true that Ouyang Lixing has so many troops in Tianyuan City, or is he just playing tricks?

Let the soldiers attack two places separately, and he even deployed a large number of impact hammers in the army.

These impact hammers are made of a whole towering tree that is so huge that it takes four or five adults to hug it. Not only is the whole trunk soaked in copper oil to prevent fire and increase its strength, but also at the hammer head. Wrapped in refined iron.

A shaft wheel is installed under the impact hammer. For normal operation, a small team of twenty or thirty people is required to advance together. The faster the running speed, the stronger the impact force when it hits the city gate. Some small city gates even If you can't stand one or two bumps, you will be smashed to pieces.

Although the impact hammer is mainly used to smash through the city gate, its huge impact force is still powerful even if it hits the city wall.

What's more, the city wall outside Tianyuan City was built in a hurry after all. Zheng Yuanyun was also holding his hands to see if he could break a few big holes in the city wall so that his people could enter the city through the holes.

Based on two plans, Zheng Yuanyun's eyes became busy when the left and right sides launched a surprise attack at the same time.

From time to time, he looked to the left, then to the right, and finally, when he realized that the left would rush to the wall faster, he locked his eyes firmly on the charging troops on the left.

During the whole process, the artillery fire pouring from the head of Tianyuan City was still bombarding the frontal battlefield, and it seemed that there was no time to take care of the left and right sides.

So, is this their chance?

Zheng Yuanyun's expression froze. Could it be that his guess was right? Ouyang Lixing was just pretending to be mysterious. In fact, he didn't have that many troops in Tianyuan City?
