"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1159
"The Han Navy has many arrows and sharp weapons. Except for a small number of Tibetan soldier caves on our wall, most of the guard brothers in the section were exposed to the arrows of the Han Hai, causing heavy casualties."
Zhou Ting, head of the 18th Banner in the field, led his troops to repel several attacks by the Hanhai army, and also deeply learned the opponent's sharp arrows.
Compared with them, Hanhai soldiers' melee combat ability is a little worse, but almost all of them wear standard leather armor, so their equipment is better than that of Qinghe army.
As the head of the banner commanding the battle on the front line, Zhou Ting also reported what he learned to Wang Cheng, the head of the army.
"It's nice of you to have these discoveries."
Legion Commander Wang Cheng did not expect that Zhou Ting, Commander of the 18th Banner, not only led his troops to repel Han Hai's attack, but also observed it so carefully, which is quite gratifying.
After all, as a general in charge of the army, it is not enough to only know how to charge and fight bravely. You also need to see all directions and listen to all directions, and know the battlefield well.
"Do you have any good ideas about defending the White Horse Pass?" Legion Commander Wang Cheng set his sights on Zhou Ting.
"Master Legion, I suggest that the two banner battalions be used as an echelon, and the guards will be rotated in batches to close the wall."
"In this way, the brothers will not be crowded on the wall and be shot by arrows, and it will also give more brothers the opportunity to rest and replenish their strength."
Facing the question from the regiment commander Wang Cheng, Zhou Ting, the commander of the 18th Banner, also expressed his thoughts unabashedly.
"What do you think?"
After listening to Zhou Ting's opinion, Wang Cheng turned to ask the deputy army commander Wang Hu, Dong Hao and others.
"I think what Commander Zhou Qi said is good and feasible." Dong Hao, deputy commander of the army, also nodded.
Wang Hu, the deputy head of the army, wanted to get in touch and said: "Except for the guards going up to the city in echelons, our reserves of thunder stone logs have been exhausted. I suggest demolishing nearby houses to supplement the consumption of thunder stone logs."
"Brother Wang Hu, then you are responsible for leading people to demolish the houses near the closed wall, and send all the bricks, stones and timber to the city wall."
"No!"
After Wang Hu, the deputy head of the army, responded, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the head of the army Wang Cheng.
"Tell those people that after the battle, our Qinghe army will be responsible for rebuilding their houses. If they can't win the battle, once the vast sea enters the customs, they will all suffer¡ª"
"No!"
After Wang Hu nodded, he stepped down the city ladder and went to be responsible for demolishing houses to raise masonry and wood.
"Can your 18th Banner Regiment still fight?"
After seeing Wang Hu leave, Wang Cheng, the head of the army, asked Zhou Ting, the head of the Eighteenth Banner.
"Master Legion, our 18th Banner Regiment can still fight!" Zhou Ting also gave an affirmative answer.
"Well, today's defense will still be from your 18th Banner Regiment, and the 20th Banner Regiment will serve as the reserve team."
"No!"
Legion Commander Wang Cheng inspected the wall, observed the enemy's situation, and left after making arrangements for the defense.
Because he got the news that Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, had rushed over in person when he learned that Han Hai had launched an attack on Baima Pass, and he had to meet him.
When the Qinghe army was making intensive defensive deployments, the Hanhai army was also not idle.
The 200,000 troops of the Tiger Legion of the Hanhai Army approached the city. They originally planned to sneak attack at night and take down Baima Pass in one go.
As long as Baima Pass is captured, then to the west is the plain and hilly area of ??Yimapingchuan, and the Hanhai army will easily capture the eastern provinces of the Far East.
But what they never expected was that the guards of the Qinghe Army guarding the Baima Pass were so vigilant that they blocked their sneak attacks and storms, and instead let the Hanhai side steal a lot of money.
In the front tent of the Hanhai Tigers, a disgraced captain of Hanhai was also dejectedly explaining the reason for the defeat to Zhang Yuande, who was also the leader of the Tigers.
Several teams led by the lieutenant of the Han Navy did not win the Baima Pass until dawn, which made Zhang Yuande, the head of the Tiger Army, very angry.
"Don't you brag about being invincible in the world on weekdays? Why did you lose the first battle? How can I explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor?"
Zhang Yuande, the head of the Tiger Army with a livid face, was sitting at the main seat in fine armor, and asked the disheartened man coldly.?Lieutenant of the Military Academy.
"I am ashamed of my humble position, I have failed His Highness's trust¡ª"
Seeing the stern-faced school captains and the sullen Tiger Army commander Zhang Tiande around him, the defeated school captain also wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
"The defeat in the first battle has affected the morale of our army. You should apologize to God Jinwu."
Seeing that the captain, whom he had placed high hopes on, lost the battle, Zhang Tiande, the head of the Tiger Army, also needed a scapegoat to bear the responsibility for this defeat.
After hearing the words of the army commander Zhang Tiande, the leading lieutenant who was kneeling there was also taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife from his waist.
"Long live the Golden Crow God!"
After the leading lieutenant of the Hanhai Army let out a roar, he cut his sharp saber into his abdomen under the eyes of everyone, and then fell limply to the ground, with blood flowing out from the wound, and soon died.
Two cold-faced Hanhai soldiers strode into the big tent, and dragged down the Hanhai captain who apologized, leaving a pool of blood behind.
The rest of the lieutenant-level officers in the military tent also looked serious when they saw their colleagues apologize.
"Our Tiger Legion has not experienced war for too long, let you forget the taste of blood, and forget the honor of my Tiger Legion!"
The head of the Tiger Army looked around at the school lieutenants standing awe-inspiring, his eyes were like knives, which made these high-ranking school lieutenants straighten their chests and dare not look at them.
"I ordered that each team take turns to attack, and within five days, capture the White Horse Pass!"
The defeat in the first battle made Zhang Tiande, the leader of the Tigers, realize that although their army has a great reputation, it has not experienced cruel battles for too long, resulting in a severe deterioration in combat effectiveness.
So he is going to use the White Horse Pass as a sharpening stone, and train troops by the way, so that his Tiger Legion can regain its glory.
The Tiger Legion has forty field teams under its jurisdiction, and each field team has 5,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to a banner battalion of the Qinghe Army.
And now the head of the legion, Zhang Yuande, is letting these forty field teams take turns to go into battle, exhausting the defenders' physical strength with continuous attacks, and at the same time achieve the purpose of actual combat training.
Following the order of Zhang Yuande, the head of the Tiger Army, the field teams of the Tiger Army quickly set up an offensive posture outside Baima Pass.
At night, standing on the wall of Baima Pass, you can only see a sea of ??torches outside the pass, stretching to the sky.
But now it's dawn, and the field of vision has become wider. Forty field teams are lined up, with swords and guns like a forest, and flags like a sea. Look dignified. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
