Chapter 204

The battle on Xiami side is the main battlefield, but not all battles on the main battlefield can determine the outcome of a battlefield.

Liu Yan was sure that the battlefield would not stop soon. Even if he defeated Yao's army and Qingzhou army, wouldn't Xuzhou join the war? He can only choose the sword to take the side edge.

Jichang's team is not too many. It is limited by the number of ships that can travel on the inland river. It only takes 5000 people and is going to flash attack Guanggu city.

So far, Liu Yan has not understood one thing, that is, whether to lay down Guanggu city is to complete the task of upgrading the system, which can be upgraded from the "feudal era" to the "Castle era".

Liu Yan is eager to rise to the "Castle Age" quickly. He can realize that the situation is actually out of control. It is difficult to deal with the war again and again with the current strength of the Han ministry.

The number of people mobilized by the Han Dynasty to participate in the war has reached 70000. As a war force, it is more than 30000. The rest can only be regarded as auxiliary.

Liu Yan personally led 12000 people. Xu Zheng's 14000 people, plus Jichang's 5000 (excluding the crew), that's 31000 people.

As a tribe with a total population of just over 200000, the mobilization of 70000 has been very large. Considering that the population structure of the Han Dynasty is mainly young, it is not impossible to mobilize more people to join the war, but it will hurt the muscles and bones once it continues to increase.

It always needs someone to build and produce, doesn't it? The second is that the more people directly involved in the war, the more material consumption. To tell the truth, with a population of 200000, the Han Dynasty was able to mobilize 70000 people to participate in the war. That's really because Liu Yan's number plate system worked at the beginning, and then the accumulation over the past three years was not in vain.

On the 24th day of the battle of Xiami, the originally fierce battle has been replaced by procrastination. In particular, the coalition forces have been unable to attack the Hanbu camp on the West Bank of glue, resulting in an extremely low morale of the coalition forces.

At this time, the news that a partial division of the Han army broke into Dong'an County was also known by the senior level of the coalition army. For the senior level of the coalition army, it could not be attacked for a long time. If a partial division of the Han army attacked the rear, it would be even more discouraged by the war.

"We lost nearly 25000 people on the other side of the stronghold, but we couldn't capture them!" Yao LAN will not be angry anymore. He said completely gloomily, "I haven't seen Han reinforcements coming from the east bank, but Han wounded soldiers from the camp. Where did they come from?"

The Allied forces also made a special observation. The corridor connecting Xiami's main city and Zicheng also had no reinforcements to the camp. They just couldn't understand why the soldiers on the other side of the camp couldn't be killed. No matter how much they lost, there must be a thousand soldiers again the next day.

Yao LAN has made rough statistics. There are at least 3000 warriors destroyed in the local battlefield of the camp, which is a full 3000 warriors!

Even if the armor of the Han Dynasty is not heavy armor, it is not so easy to have a metal armor these days. How many heavy armor cavalry and infantry are there in Shijie, Zhao Guoju's national strength, and Murong Yan's national strength has only produced 3000 iron cavalry. The Han Dynasty is not a country. The Han Dynasty has only developed for four years, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is even less, Where on earth does it come from that strong ability to make so many iron armor!?

If only wearing iron armor, as long as people with eyes can see that the battle of the warriors in the Han Dynasty may be rigid, but it is frightening that the warriors in the Han Dynasty are only brave and fearless.

"We..." Liu Zheng's face was a little gray: "the reinforcements of Qi county will come tomorrow. Let's discuss how many troops to leave. We should divide them into several ways to recover Changguang County, Donglai county and Dongmou county."

"No, no, no, it's not a matter of recovering any county." Yao Lan said with a wry smile, "there are partial teachers in the Han Dynasty who harass our back road. The Feiyan rebels who fled earlier also entered Dong'an County. Our back road has been broken, and now the initiative is in Liu Yan's hands."

The only thing that deserves the high-level congratulations of the coalition is that there are few Liu Yanbing. They have lost nearly 38000 people in the past month. Isn't there still more than 70000?

There are still 70000 troops in the coalition. Qiang soldiers and Qingzhou County soldiers have not lost much. Although the number of coalition troops has been reduced from 110000 to 70000, the main force is still there.

"That..." Wang Teng was going to give some advice, but he heard a noise in his ear.

Someone hurried into the tent and shouted, "we've been attacked!"

The top level of the coalition forces in the military accounts were stunned. The secret war had been going on for nearly a month. In addition to the short assault held at the meeting, the Han ministry really didn't take the initiative before tonight.

They quickly walked out of the military tent and looked around. There were pieces of fire in the South and North barracks under the night. The noise and shouting of killing shook the sky.

"Mobilize the cavalry quickly!" Yao Lan was not worried but happy: "no matter how many people they sent to attack the camp, they should always return, stop, stop!"

The layout of the coalition camp is relatively simple. In addition to the necessary fences and wooden fences, there are also horse rejections. At the beginning, they will patrol the camp carefully, but the Han Army has not attacked the camp for a long time, which has made the coalition slack for a long time. As a result, it was suddenly here tonight.

There was obvious chaos in the coalition camps in the north and south. In the light of the fire, a group of soldiers with red upper body and black lower body could be seen chasing a group of people in colorful clothes to chop, chop and stab. Where they passed, there must be constant screams and wails, and the number of bodies on the ground continued to increase.

Li Kuang, who led the troops from Xiami main city, presided over the attack camp on the north side, while Wang Pu led the army to attack the camp on the south side.

Wang Pu has been full of energy recently. As long as they can win this war, individuals can be directly turned into regular soldiers, and the rest will be turned into servants and soldiers.

Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. Only when you clearly know the difference between class treatment will you understand what to pursue. The pursuit of Wang Pu and other newly attached troops is very simple. That is to continuously improve their identity until they can record their achievements like soldiers, and 40% can be left after war capture.

Wang Pu killed an enemy soldier who ran into him with a knife. He looked around and shouted, "set fire!"

The coalition camps are not particular about it. It seems that the number of military tents is not large. They are mostly some shacks erected indiscriminately.

A shack made of wooden beams, branches, leaves and weeds will burn violently as long as there is a little spark, and then the wind will blow the spark to ignite, and the fire will spread very fast.

The Han soldiers of the attack battalion were ordered to just rush forward, and then they thought about the northern and southern breakout. At that time, Liu Yanhui personally led a force to attract the attention of the coalition forces and gave the two attack battalions the opportunity to return everywhere.

Yao LAN gathered cavalry to intercept, and Yao Jingxing rushed over in person.

"Liu Yan personally led the army except Xiami city!" Yao Jing was almost gnashing his teeth: "this is an opportunity!"

The Allied forces can't guess why the Han Army chose to attack the camp tonight, let alone why Liu Yan personally led the army out of the city. As long as they can catch Liu Yan and kill him, they will win the war. And this opportunity was delivered by Liu Yan himself!

Why did Liu Yan do that? Cao Yan gave a clear answer. Xuzhou will send troops to participate in the Qingzhou war in three days, under the banner of eliminating rebels.

Liu Zheng can declare Liu Yan rebellious. Is that what Xuzhou calls rebellious Liu Yan?

It's not certain, but it's not bad for Liu Yangen. No matter what the goal of sending troops to Xuzhou is, the Han ministry will be the enemy if it wants to occupy Qingzhou, so it can only speed up the battlefield progress of Xiami.

"In fact, it should take another month or two. This is not the moment when the morale of the coalition is at its lowest!"

Liu Yan was dressed all over, holding a long gun in his hand. On both sides of the horse's neck under his seat, there were war knives, riding bows and arrow bags respectively. He rode alone in the front of the whole army. The first square behind him was 2000 system swordsmen. On the left and right sides were gun arrays composed of 2000 free soldiers and spearmen, and the archers who were guarded on three sides were about 2000 archers.

Four zigzag military formations are placed in the west of the main city of Xiami, about a mile from the city wall?

In the middle of the night, there were no torches in the array. It looked like huge black squares. 8000 people stood quietly in place, in obvious contrast to the incomparable noise on the other side of the coalition.

Tonight is a day without the moon. That's why Liu Yan chose to attack.

"It's all forced..." Liu Yan looked up at the stars. He liked to climb high and look far, and he also liked to look at the stars: "the situation is getting bigger and bigger, out of control is inevitable. Is this the history of change?"

There is no doubt that Liu Yan led the army to Qingzhou and launched the war, which obviously involves a certain overall situation. For example, Fei Yan started the army, and then, for example, there was a change in Xuzhou. It should be something that would happen if Liu Yan didn't wave his army to Xigu, but now it's Liu Yan who opened the situation.

Alone, the Yao brothers led the army to Qingzhou, which is clearly aimed at Liu Yan, which is a troublesome thing that must be solved.

The roar of horses' hoofs rolled in. In fact, we couldn't see how many cavalry there were under the night. We could only see that it was dark.

In the age of malnutrition, most people had night blindness. In fact, they were not suitable for fighting at night. As a result, although Yao LAN and Yao Jing led their troops to the front of the Han army with a good formation, they did not attack directly.

"How long before dawn?"

"Should it be an hour and a half?"

Liu Yan led the troops out of the city to fight, but the main purpose was to attract the attention of the coalition forces and create more opportunities for the two attacking battalions.

The two camps of the coalition army are already ablaze, and the smoke is rising to the sky continuously. It is visually observed that the fire spreads very fast. If it is not extinguished, if it continues to burn, it is bound to destroy the two camps, but I don't know how many casualties it will cause?
