Chapter 5329: Zhan Ying's Bait

The lady is in a critical situation, and ordinary people don't know the news.

The reports sent by the imperial court to various places in the world every day only said that Niangziguan was attacked by the army from the middle road of Tianjie. The heroic Niangziguan soldiers repelled the enemy's attacks time and time again.

With the precedent of Yingzui Cliff wiping out more than four million enemies ten years ago, the common people in the world feel that Niangziguan can recreate the victory of Yingzui Cliff. In this catastrophe, not a single celestial soldier will enter the heart of the Middle Earth. .

In fact, battle reports are meant to report good news but not bad news, so as not to damage the morale of the people.

Now the three major passes are in a tough battle, but Niangzi Pass is in a precarious situation.

The main reason was caused by Xu Kai's tactical mistakes before winter last year.

Layers of obstacles, using the lives of human soldiers to consume the number of heavenly warriors.

This kind of strategy of killing one hundred enemies and losing three thousand to oneself is actually very disadvantageous.

In several states outside Yumen Pass, Xu Kai deployed heavy troops in major cities and passes, and they were all elite divisions.

As a result, in less than a month, millions of human warriors were slaughtered under the fierce attack of the Skyfire Beast.

The entire Niangziguan defense line is said to have 27 million people. In fact, there are less than 10 million elite troops, and most of them are miscellaneous troops with low combat effectiveness.

More than half of the millions of elites in Xu Kai's hands were lost last year. If it weren't for Zhao Zian's timely withdrawal of two million troops from Yumen Pass to come to support, Niangzi Pass would be in an even more dangerous situation today.

I thought that the first thousand-hole cliff defense line was impregnable. Even if the enemy could break through, it would only take several months and they would pay a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, An Wenxiu only used one move to order the Legion of Destruction to spray fireballs towards the first line of defense, rendering the first line of defense at Niangziguan useless.

Seven or eight days ago, the general offensive of the central army began. There were several truces in the middle, but soon Tianjie would organize a new offensive, and each time it became more fierce.

More than half of the black powder produced by the imperial court was now shipped to the Niangziguan defense line.

Of course, there is another reason why the lady is worried about the war.

Heaven has developed many new weapons of war.

Among them, the one that has the greatest impact on the battle situation is the Diamond Umbrella.

The most proud crossbows in the world, even the powerful Eight Ox Crossbow, lost their advantage under the Vajra Umbrella.

In the past, when the enemy attacked the city, the soldiers fired thousands of arrows, which caused great damage to the enemy.

Now under the protection of the diamond umbrella, the enemy could rush to the city gate from a hundred feet away without much damage. This would have a great impact on the battle situation.

After seven or eight days of continuous attacks, Niangziguan's second line of defense was at the end of its strength.

The city wall collapsed in many places, and the most lethal rolling logs were destroyed again and again by the heavenly warriors, leaving gaps in many places.

If this continues, within three to five days at most, the second line of defense at Niangziguan will be completely destroyed by the heavenly army.

Only the upper echelons of the human world know about the war at Niangzi Pass. There are now frequent troop mobilizations across the entire northern part of the Huangyan River. Xu Kai has already made preparations for the large troops to withdraw southward to the Taihang Mountains to fight guerrillas after Niangzi Pass is broken.

Zhan Ying is also paying close attention to the battle at Niangzi Pass.

As the general manager of the march in North Liaoning Province, the battle status report Zhan Ying received was different from what the imperial court released, and was very close to the battlefield situation.

Now there are wars in the three major passes. Even in the northwest of Shanxi, there are millions of prairie wolf riders and northern border beast riders, fighting against the six-winged legion in the heaven.

Only in the northern Liaoning region, there was no war.

The higher-ups of the entire Heaven Realm seem to have forgotten that there are millions of people in northern Liaoning and tens of millions of people who have retreated from the Liaodong Peninsula in the Changbai Mountain area.

Now the Tianjie North Road army has transferred its main force outside Shanhaiguan. It seems that after concentrating its forces to capture Shanhaiguan, it can then go back and clear out the remaining human remains in northern Liaoning.

This gave Zhan Ying a relatively relaxed battlefield environment.

Some time ago, Zhan Ying was inspecting armaments in "Chang'an City" in Liaodong. Now he has appeared in the bay, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.

This general manager is different from other general managers in the world. He is not as good as Zhao Zian, Xu Kai, Li Xianjing and others. He is at his station from beginning to end and does not dare to leave for a moment.

Fortunately for Zhan Ying, he wandered around without seeing the end of the dragon all day long.

In the early morning, it was raining lightly. Zhan Ying was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, sitting on a large five-tooth ship, fishing leisurely.

Wanhuhou Wanyanku, a peerless general on the battlefield, was standing behind Zhan Ying at this moment.

There was a message from a scout that it was urgent to go 800 miles away. After Wan Yanku read it, he said to Zhan Ying: "There is news from the north that half a million of the one million high-quality war horses we bought with money from the grassland have arrived in Baicheng. The remaining half million will take a month can be sent later

Come. "

Zhan Ying said calmly: "So long?"

Wanyanku said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now all the tribes on the grassland have retreated to the Blackwater River. The remaining 500,000 war horses need to be driven from the Blackwater River, and they have to avoid the Storm Legion. It really takes a lot of money. a little time."

Zhan Ying hummed and said no more. Seeing that this young man was still busy fishing, Wanyanku couldn't help but said: "Commander, the battle report from Niangziguan is not optimistic. If this continues, in a month at most, the number of people in Niangziguan will be reduced." Every line of defense will be

Break through. "

Zhan Ying said: "I am the general manager of the march in Liaobei Province. If we talk about the division of responsibilities, I will not be in charge of Shanhaiguan, let alone Niangziguan."

Wanyan Ku said: "General..."

Just at this time, Zhan Ying's fishing hook moved.

Zhan Ying easily pulled a big fish weighing 20 to 30 kilograms onto the boat.

Zhan Ying seemed dissatisfied with this and kicked the big fish back into the sea.

Then, Zhan Ying said to Wanyan Ku: "Fighting is like fishing, you can't be impatient. Only the most stable people can catch the biggest fish.

Although Xu Kai's fighting style is rigid, he has many soldiers under his command. It will not be possible for the heaven to sweep all the defense lines of Niangzi Pass overnight.

Wait, don't be in a hurry."

Wanyan Ku said: "Then when should we wait?"

Zhan Ying hung a piece of fish bait on the fishing hook again and threw it into the sea.

Said: "Wait until the big fish is hooked. Wanyan, according to our original plan, we will distribute the war horses to our carefully selected soldiers as soon as possible, and form combat effectiveness in the shortest time."

Wanyan Ku wanted to discuss the current war with Zhan Ying, but Zhan Ying waved his hand and asked him to go down.

Wanyan Ku is very frustrated now.

Ten years ago, he followed General Zhebie to participate in the decisive battle in the southern Xinjiang wilderness. He was so high-spirited.

As a result, he followed Zhan Ying and traveled all day long. Now, he is still fishing at sea.

This made the brave Wan Huhou very unhappy.

But military orders are like mountains, and he cannot disobey them.

After Wanyan Ku went down, Zhan Ying's eyes gradually became sharp, and he murmured: "The time is not right, the time is not right."

Before these 500,000 cavalrymen reach the expected combat power, Zhan Ying will not interfere in the battle of Niangzi Pass or Shanhaiguan.

Last time when Niangzi Pass was in a tight spot, he dispatched the air cavalry and orc cavalry from the northern border to support it. This is the only thing he can do for Niangzi Pass.

The next step is to wait.

Wait for a suitable time.

As for Xu Kai and the more than 20 million defenders of Niangzi Pass, they were all baits released by Zhan Ying.

Zhan Ying knew that it was inevitable that Niangzi Pass would be breached.

His plan was to bite off a piece of flesh from the heaven in this destined battle, a piece of flesh that would be enough to injure the central army of the heaven.
