Chapter 41: The Iron Army Retreats


Wu Deli led 30,000 old Qin soldiers and was ordered to block the northern coalition forces in order to buy time for Bai Zhengheng's main force to attack.

When Sajiali and Zhang Leng saw the Iron-Blooded Army attacking Wei Zeng's central army, they immediately led their troops to attack the rear of the Iron-Blooded Army, leaving the Iron-Blooded Army to defend its rear.

Wu Deli's old Qin soldiers were extremely powerful and could not lose to the northern coalition forces in a head-on confrontation.

Sajiali and Zhang Leng's troops failed to assist Wei Zeng in time.

Wei Zeng's main force was stormed by Bai Zhengheng, and the northern coalition was blocked by Wu Deli.

It seemed that the key to success or failure lay in who could survive to the end in a head-on confrontation.

Although the Yanbei rebels have the numerical advantage, most of them are new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

The Iron-Blooded Army are elite warriors who have fought in every battle and have certain strategies for attack and defense.

Only by relying on the company and battalion to hold on, the Yanbei Rebel Army did not fall into a disadvantage.

But in this storm, Bai Zhengheng was determined.

The Iron Blood Army suffered huge casualties, and the Yanbei Rebels were naturally not easy either.

Jiang Luqing observed that the battlefield situation was not good for the Yanbei rebels, so he came up with a strategy to reduce the pressure on Wei Zeng.

Jiang Luqing suggested that Sa Jiali and Zhang Leng send a force to attack near the Guanluo River, in a posture to cut off the Jagged Army's retreat.

In order to ensure that the retreat route is not cut off, the Iron-Blooded Army will inevitably divide its troops to guard, and then the pressure on Wei Zeng on the front battlefield will be reduced.

If the Iron-Blooded Army retreats, then chasing the Iron-blooded Army while their morale is low will surely defeat them.

Sa Jiali and Zhang Leng thought it made sense and agreed.

Jiang Luqing went to Wei Zengzhongjun in person and reported the matter to him.

Zhang Leng's army was not large to begin with, and it suffered a heavy blow at the beginning of the war.

Now Zhang Leng didn't want to confront the Iron Blood Army at all.

After hearing Jiang Luqing's proposal, he immediately expressed his willingness to send a force to attack the rear of the Iron Blood Army.

So Sajiali's 20,000 troops continued to attack Wu Deli's army and made a posture to support Wei Zeng, while Zhang Leng's Tianjia Army marched towards the Guanluo River border.

Wu Deli had noticed the movements of the northern coalition forces.

He did not dare to neglect, so he informed Bai Zhengong.

Wu Deli wanted Bai Zheng to suspend the offensive and cooperate with the defenders in the rear to first eliminate the Tianjia army that had circled to the rear, and then planned to defeat Wei Zeng's main force.

It was already noon the next day after Bai Zhenguan received the news from Udeli.

After weighing the two sides, Bai Zhenguan decided to take a risk, threw Udeli's letter aside, and continued to command the army to attack.

On the first day of the battle, more than ten companies and battalions of the Yanbei Rebel Army have been captured.

Today, the offensive is stepped up and it is not impossible to defeat the Yanbei Rebel Army.

More than 10,000 people were lost on the first day.

If it was easier for the enemy to withdraw after a sneak attack, wouldn't these losses be in vain?

After Zhang Leng's Tianjia Army is defeated, Wei Zeng will definitely have completed the repairs of the company.

By then, the morale of the army will be lost, and the Yanbei Campaign will definitely end in failure.

Bai Zhengrong was unwilling to give in.

Wei Zeng retreated eighty miles and set up a company camp here to echo the northern coalition and resist the attack of the Iron-Blooded Army.

Wei Zeng originally planned that as long as the enemy army could not advance, he would inevitably retreat; as long as the enemy retreated, he would lead his army to pursue him.

Even if he could not defeat the Iron Blood Army, he would definitely drive the Iron Blood Army out of the Yanbei border.

This forceful attack by the Iron-blooded Army was really unexpected, especially before the Iron-blooded Army had an absolute advantage.

Such a strong attack that does not care about the life and death of the soldiers will definitely be a disastrous defeat once defeated.

Bai Zhengheng's desperate move this time is really a risky move.

However, Wei Zeng realized the power of the Iron Blood Army once, but he lost more than a dozen companies and battalions in one day.

If this continues, the Yanbei Rebel Army will not be able to defend for a few days.

After receiving Jiang Luqing's notice, Wei Zeng decided to adjust his deployment and hold on for a few more days.

As long as Zhang Leng's army successfully cuts off the Iron Blood Army's retreat, the Iron Blood Army will be defeated.

His situation is not easy, and the Iron Blood Army, as the attacking party, is naturally even more difficult.

But just defending was too passive.

The loss of each camp had a great impact on the morale of the army.

Therefore, Wei Zeng decided to organize troops to recapture the lost camps.

The attack on the second day was a battle fought repeatedly by both sides.

The Jagged Army could not concentrate on attacking the camps, but also had to guard against recapturing the captured camps by the Yanbei rebels.

Therefore, the progress of the Iron Blood Army on the second day was not too great.

Bai Zhengheng didn't have much time to wait.

The first day's offensive made him confident that he could defeat the Yanbei rebels within three days, but the second day's offensive made him anxious.

On the third day, Bai Zhengheng decided to use his soldiers as the main offensive force, and he must give a fatal blow to the Yanbei rebels on the third day.

On the morning of the third day, with the rising sun and the beating of drums, the iron-blooded warriors formed a square formation and marched in order to attack the remaining camps of the Yanbei Rebel Army.

The Iron-blooded Army has suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and its morale has been somewhat low.

However, the Iron-blooded soldiers have not suffered much losses, and they are also the army with the most complete organization.

This is Bai Zhengheng's last trump card.

He cannot allow this attack to fail.

The main force of the Yanbei Rebel Army has all gathered in the last few camps.

This is the last line of defense of the Yanbei Rebel Army.

Wei Zeng cannot allow this defense to fail.

The elite Yanbei rebels have also assembled, preparing to face the strong attack of the iron-blooded warriors.

The front group of iron-blooded warriors held giant oars to resist the crossbow fire of the Yanbei rebels, while the rear group held heavy crossbows and continuously attacked the Yanbei rebels above the camp.

When approaching the camp, the iron-blooded warriors put up a long ladder on the camp, then rushed forward to fight with their stainless steel swords.

The camp was temporarily built, but it was only more than three meters high.

It could not effectively defend against the attack of the Iron Blood Army, but it could indeed increase the defensive advantage of the Yanbei Rebels.

The combat effectiveness of the iron-blooded soldiers is very strong.

They can face off against the same number of cavalry in the field, and they are even better at fighting infantry in close combat.

Facing the attack of the iron-blooded soldiers, the Yanbei rebels could not resist, and He Kuai lost a camp.

Wei Zeng could not allow this defense to fail.

Strength could only be countered by strength, and strength could only be checked by strength.

The soldiers of Guanshan Camp were sent by Wei Zeng to stop the iron-blooded warriors.

The soldiers of Guanshan Camp have been assisting in the defense these days, and Wei Zeng does not want his elite to be used up in the first place.

The soldiers of Guanshan Camp finally waited for the opportunity to attack head-on, and everyone's morale was high.

While the iron-blooded warriors were fighting, they suddenly encountered the Guanshan warriors, who were also made of steel, and were suppressed for a moment.

The Guanshan warrior's blunt weapon easily broke through the block of the iron-blooded soldier.

If it hit the soldier's iron armor, a human life would be lost.

The Guanshan warriors cooperated well.

They struck first with iron rods and steel whips, and then attacked with giant axes and hammers, forcibly driving the iron-blooded warriors out of the camp.

The iron-blooded soldiers knew that the enemy they faced this time was not comparable to before.

After adjusting their deployment, they attacked the camp again.

After the iron-blooded soldiers attacked the camp, they no longer fought everywhere as before.

Instead, they held steel shields and swords and formed a formation to cover the subsequent soldiers rushing up.

After the subsequent soldiers rushed in, they replenished the dead soldiers, expanded the attack front, and attacked and defended the camp as if they were fighting on the ground.

Although the Guanshan warriors struck with blunt weapons, causing considerable casualties to the iron-blooded warriors, they still failed to stop the enemy's attack, and soon another camp was lost.

Bai Zhengheng was very happy to see that his soldiers had defeated the enemy to only three strongholds in less than half a day.

As long as the enemy loses the defensive location of the camp, his Iron-Blooded Army will not only have to flee.

Just when Bai Zhengfa decided to launch the final offensive, an unfortunate news came.

Zhang Leng's Tianjia Army invaded the Hexi area.

A large city has been completely lost, and the Iron Blood Army's retreat has been cut off.

"Three days, I only need three days, can't you give me even three days?"

Bai Zhengran's mood changed from excitement to despair.

The amount of food and fodder required by the Iron-Blooded Army's 100,000-strong army is huge.

Without the food and grass transported from Hexi, Bai Zhengjun would not be able to support it at all.

Without the preparation of sufficient food and fodder, once the morale of the army is scattered, there is no chance of rescue.

Bai Zhengfa was very unwilling.

After paying so many casualties, would it end in failure in the end?

Bai Zhengfa had no choice but to retreat and regain the lost land in Hexi.

The Iron Blood Army fought for three days and suffered huge casualties, but this was the final result.

Now the morale of the Iron Blood Army has dropped to the extreme.

Wei Zeng was a little anxious in the face of the steady retreat.

Once the company camp was captured, Shifeng City would be exposed to the enemy's front.

Just when Wei Zeng ordered his soldiers to fight to the death to hold on to the last camp, the Jagged Army retreated.

"It seems that there has been progress on Miss Sa's side.

The time has come for the soldiers to defeat the Iron-Blooded Bureau.

Follow me to pursue the enemy, and you must not let anyone go."

Wei Zeng's mood suddenly cheered up, and he immediately led his troops to pursue the enemy.

Iron-blooded army.

Zhang Leng's Tianjia Army took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Iron Blood Army was unable to escape, and traveled day and night to the land west of Hexi.

The defense in Hexi was empty, and Zhang Leng took the opportunity to capture the main cities in Hexi without any effort.

Zhang Leng was a little surprised that the head coach of the Jagged Army ignored Hexi at all, but he was very happy about it.

Less than half of the land lost a few months ago has now been recovered.

As long as we follow the plan, cut off the Iron Blood Army's retreat, and cooperate with the Yanbei Rebel Army to attack the Iron Blood Army, it will not be impossible to capture the hinterland of Anyun in the future.

Wu Deli also sighed after receiving the news that Hexi had been lost.

"General Bai is too impatient.

How can he completely ignore the rear in order to attack the enemy.

Now the battle of Yanbei has completely failed.

I just hope that the land in Hexi will not be lost again because of this.

Otherwise, the commander-in-chief will really not be able to explain it."

Bai Zhengheng has led the main army to retreat to Hexi, and Wu Deli has also led his old Qin soldiers to retreat.

In the past few days, Sajali was just trying to hold off Udli's army, and Udli was just trying to hold off Sajali's army, so neither side suffered too many casualties.

Naturally, Sajiali would not let go of the opportunity to pursue the Iron-Blooded Army.

She pursued and killed them all the way across Guanluo River and to the west of Hexi.

After joining Wei Zeng's Chinese army, they began to attack the Iron-Blooded Army in Hexi.

It seems that this posture will not stop until the Iron-Blooded Army is driven out of Hexi
