Chapter 860 1st Way to Break the Bamboo
Yang Shida's original strategy was exactly the same as Lu Wenlun's. They both used their foundation to compete with each other, and it depended on who could not hold on first.
However, as the two armies of the Taiping Tao Kingdom failed to attack smoothly, he could only be forced to advance quickly to complete the decisive battle.
In this case, it is very likely that he will be the one who cannot hold on.
In fact, he was opposed to a three-pronged attack from the beginning. After all, this would be a huge waste of troops and people, and would also achieve poor results.
He initially strongly supported devoting all the strength of the country to attack Chuanzhou, but unfortunately due to various reasons, the troops were extremely dispersed.
It's good now that things have turned out like this, but he has no way to deal with it.
Obviously according to his wishes, there is a great possibility to capture Chuanzhou, thus completely stabilizing the Jiangnan area, and laying a solid foundation for the future destruction of Daqian in one fell swoop.
But this politics is so uncomfortable.
He understood what was going on, but this did not mean that he could adapt to the current internal struggle in the court.
In addition, compared to Li Tianwang and Jiang Fenghua, he is too honest, so he can only let others bully him.
Not only that, but now that the situation was so unfavorable, he had to try his best to save it so that others would still blame him.
It's really hard to bully someone who works hard.
"I don't know if this battle is right or wrong!"
Yang Shida also figured out during this period that fighting is sometimes not just about how good you are. Especially in this case, the comparison is who will not make mistakes and who will make fewer mistakes.
Now, the disadvantage lies with him!
Three days later, the defense change was completed, and the Western Expedition army launched a fierce attack on Daqian's third line of defense.
After six days of fierce fighting, the third line of defense was completely broken.
"Haha, I thought it was so powerful. I persisted for half a month, but I didn't even persist for half the time!"
Standing on the breached wall, the pioneer officer was filled with pride.
If nothing else, this camp made him famous.
As for the numerous casualties, so what?
After all, someone always dies in this situation!
However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that Yang Shida doesn't care.
The siege was too brutal, so the cleaning of the battlefield was completely left to the civilians, just to prevent the heavenly army from seeing such a scene and causing a decrease in morale.
"The vanguard army is destroyed!"
Looking at the low-quality vanguard soldiers, Yang Shida understood that they would have little fighting power in a short time and had to rest.
After all, tens of thousands of casualties were too great for the more than 4 people in the vanguard army.
"Mix the Pioneer Army with the later Protectorate Army to increase the number of troops stationed in the camp."
"Also, let them attack the camp of the Puppet Gan!"
This time, when breaking through the third line of defense, Yang Shida decisively chose to order the soldiers to drag them with them. They did not want to break through, as long as they could stand up to each other.
Following Yang Shida's order, the vanguard army rested on the spot, and the vanguard officer was retaken to command the new vanguard army and quickly rushed to Daqian's fourth line of defense.
As long as this line of defense is broken, Jianping Pass will be right around the corner. After all, Lu Wenlun has designed a total of five lines of defense.
Yang Shida looked to the west, and he seemed to see that in the near future, he would see the famous Lu Wenlun at Jianping Pass.
At the same time, he secretly whispered in his heart.
"I hope the fourth line of defense won't cost me too much!"
Yang Shida's so-called losses were too many. In fact, even if there was damage, it was best to damage the vanguard.
As long as he is not allowed to add more troops later, everything is fine.
And he led the central and rear troops and slowly walked towards the front line.
This does not mean that the road is difficult to walk, but that this is intentional.
In this case, in order to ensure morale, his best way is to prevent the army from directly seeing the frontline scene.
Only in this way, as long as they win, the troops under their command will be able to ensure sufficient morale.
So the essence of the current situation is to fight for information, and blocking information has become the top priority.
As a result, the marching speed needs to be even slower.
In this case, the camps along the road that were relatively close to the army became the place where he attacked, and used this to delay the march.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
With a huge military advantage, a hundred thousand troops surrounded a camp with less than 2000 people. After fighting for two or three days, the camp surrendered.
If many places were not suitable for deploying so many troops, he could lead his troops and push them through one by one.
Unfortunately, this can only be a dream.
After fighting and fighting like this all the way, the vanguard army finally couldn't bear its own casualties after eleven days of fierce fighting, and asked Yang Shida for help.
However, Yang Shida did not send out the heavenly army. Instead, he threw the newly arrived National Protector Army and civilian husband Qingzhuang into the past. At the same time, there was also Yang Shida's matching sword.
When the pioneer officer saw this, his face turned extremely pale. At this time, he still had no idea what Yang Shida meant.
To put it simply, there are no important soldiers, only the national defense army and civilians.
Besides, your army only has these. If you can't defeat them, then commit suicide!
The pioneer officer's face was ugly. At this moment, he thought about whether he should surrender to Daqian.
But as soon as this thought came up, he threw it behind him.
For no other reason, my whole family is in Shengjing.
If he dares to surrender, his entire family will die.
Holding Yang Shida's sword in his hand, the pioneer officer's face was full of grief and anger.
"Let the Protectorate Military Region fill in, and then choose the elites to attack the city with me!"
In the end, he decided to use the Protectorate Military District to consume the enemy first. After the Protectorate Army and civilians were almost exhausted, he rushed forward with the remaining troops.
Just die when the time comes.
Even if he fails to break through this level, as long as he dies in battle, it will be a disaster at most, and the responsibility cannot be traced to him.
In the following seven days, the National Protectorate Army and civilians, forced by the vanguard officers, frantically attacked the checkpoint, making Daqian's fourth line of defense crumbling.
On the eighth day, looking at the heavy losses of the Protectorate Army and civilians, the Pioneer Officer gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword given by Yang Shida and shouted in front of the army:
"Commanders, this is the commander-in-chief's sword!"
"If you don't win this battle, you won't be victorious!"
"I promise you, after the barrier is broken, I will not seal the sword!"
"Commanders, follow me and kill!"
Following the command from the vanguard officer, the vanguard army regrouped and charged forward again, and the battle became even more fierce for a while.
Finally, seeing that the attack was still not going well and that his own losses were extremely heavy, the vanguard officer led his troops and charged forward.
He knew that he no longer had any bargaining chips, and all he had was his own life.
Then use this life in exchange for victory.
Sure enough, with his charge, the morale of the vanguard army was greatly boosted, and they broke through the fourth line of defense in one fell swoop.
Yang Shida in the rear also received good news from the front line.
"Commander, the fourth line of defense of the Puppet Army has been conquered by the vanguard army!"
Yang Shida was unmoved, "Where's the bad news?"
The report document whispered: "The Pioneer Army suffered more than 3 casualties, the Protectorate Army and civilians suffered more than [-] casualties, and the Pioneer Officer died in the battle."
Yang Shida was silent for a moment, "So, the vanguard army has been completely wiped out!"
The clerk lowered his head. Although the vanguard army was not completely wiped out, its combat effectiveness was completely gone.
However, Yang Shida did not feel sad for it, but coldly ordered:
"Send the newly replenished National Defense Army to the front line and clean up the battlefield!"
"promise!"
