Chapter 358 It’s time to fight back
"Why are you panicking? We have 200,000 cavalrymen. They know that, don't they?"
"They are not fools. One hundred thousand cavalry against two hundred thousand cavalry? They are probably just pretending to put pressure on us."
"If that's the case, the Changhe defenders are probably going to collapse soon!"
Maximilian said with disdain.
"Yes, General Mark is right, that should be the case."
"Looking at it this way, our strategy of attacking with all our might was correct."
Day agreed.
"Yes, with all our strength, we will capture Changhe City in no time."
Maximilian suddenly became full of confidence.
............
The next morning.
The coalition forces launched the most fierce attack on Changhe City since the war began.
The 80,000-strong coalition army attacked Changhe City from four directions, and the huge momentum was terrifying.
Seeing this, Bai Qi did not dare to delay and immediately increased the number of troops defending the city from 30,000 to 60,000.
Over the next day, both sides fought each other, blood flowed like a river, corpses were everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the entire sky.
The battle lasted until evening, when the coalition forces finally called off their attack.
In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.
The coalition forces suffered at least 30,000 casualties, while the Daqian side suffered more than 7,000 casualties.
But compared with the casualties of the coalition forces, Daqian still made a profit.
"Your Majesty, it seems the enemy is getting anxious."
"Look, they seem to be preparing for a night battle."
On the top of the Changji city wall, Bai Qi looked at the enemy camp and said.
Although the enemy's attack today failed, they have no intention of withdrawing their troops.
Tens of thousands of troops were gathering in the enemy camp, obviously preparing to launch a night battle.
"Well, that should be it."
"In that case, we can start preparing for a counterattack."
"This way, we will hold out for two more days. When the enemy's morale is weakened to the extreme, it will be time for our army to counterattack."
"In this battle, the enemy must be completely annihilated."
Ning Quan said slowly, his face firm.
"Your Majesty is wise, and we will definitely fulfill our mission!"
Bai Qi bowed and said.
The next three days were destined to be disappointing for the coalition forces.
After three days and three nights of sleepless attacks, they still failed to capture Changhe City and suffered heavy losses instead.
This made the morale of the coalition soldiers even lower, and some soldiers even collapsed.
Even Maximilian and Day were somewhat hopeless.
Looking at the mountains of corpses and sea of blood below the city, both of them felt helpless and bitter.
"We can't go on like this! Our army has suffered too many casualties."
Dai couldn't help but say to Maximilian.
"But what if we don't fight? Should we withdraw?"
Maximilian shook his head.
"Then let's suspend the attack, at least to allow the soldiers to recover their morale."
Dai Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"Well, okay then!"
Maximilian nodded in agreement.
"Order the army to rest for three days!"
Then, Dai shouted loudly.
"Yes."
After hearing Dai's order, the soldiers responded weakly and then returned to their tents.
...........
Night falls.
Twenty miles southwest of the coalition camp, one hundred thousand Khitan cavalrymen lined up in neat formation.
At the front of the team was a man wearing black armor and holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. It was Lu Bu.
Since the end of the war in Japan, Lu Bu has been transferred to the Luosha front. This time he returned with Bai Qi and was responsible for commanding the Khitan cavalry.
At this moment, Lu Bu was riding a tall horse with an indifferent expression and cold eyes.
He exuded a powerful aura, looking down upon the world like a god of war.
"General, the scouts within ten miles have been cleared."
A lieutenant beside him spoke up.
"Well, have the scouts keep watching. We must not let them discover our army's movements."
"The army will set out in an hour."
Lu Bu nodded and said.
"Yes."
The lieutenant general said respectfully, then turned around and gave the order.
Lu Bu looked towards the west, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
At the same time, in Changhe City.
The 100,000-strong army is also ready. These 100,000 people are all former surrendered soldiers of the Great Qi. After the baptism of blood and fire, they have now become real elites.
Ning Quan now has a serious shortage of generals under his command because the territory is too large and all the generals have been assigned, so this attack can only be led by Bai Qi himself.
Of course, Bai Qi’s fighting power is also online, no less than Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and others.
Time passed second by second, and soon it was midnight.
“Prepare to attack!”
Ning Quan said to Bai Qi.
"promise."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi bowed in response.
"Ah."
Ning Quan nodded, then suddenly pressed the detonator
"Bang bang bang~"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent roar was heard.
The enemy camp outside the city was instantly engulfed in flames and explosions.
Bai Qi buried a total of 400 kilograms of explosives under the enemy camp and set up more than 200 explosion points.
These 400 kilograms of explosives are absolutely high-tech products, and their power is dozens of times that of ordinary explosives.
If one bomb explodes, everything within a radius of 500 meters will be reduced to ruins.
The explosion razed the enemy camp to the ground almost instantly.
Looking at the sea of fire in front of him and listening to the screams in the enemy camp, Bai Qi smiled.
"Soldiers, follow me."
“Kill~~~”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi waved his halberd, shouted loudly, and led his army out of the city gate and rushed towards the enemy camp.
"The whole army charges."
Behind the enemy camp, Lu Bu also gave the order to attack.
Led by Lu Bu, the 100,000-strong coalition army shot towards the enemy camp like sharp arrows.
The cavalry was extremely fast and rushed into the enemy camp in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the entire enemy camp had already fallen into chaos.
Faced with the ferocious cavalry, they were completely unable to resist.
At this time, Bai Qi also led a large army to attack.
Bai Qi was the first to rush forward, the long spear in his hand emitting a dazzling golden light, and blood splattered wherever he passed.
Faced with attacks from both front and back, the enemy army collapsed instantly and the allied soldiers fled in panic.
No matter how Maximilian and Dey shouted, they turned a deaf ear.
"It's over, everything is over."
Dai murmured as he looked at everything in front of him.
The coalition forces were defeated!
Such a complete defeat.
"General, what do we do now?"
A personal soldier asked.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
Dai said hurriedly.
After saying that, he turned and fled out of the camp.
“Let’s go too!”
Maximilian saw this and immediately shouted.
The situation is hopeless. Let’s not worry about anything else for now. The most important thing is to save our lives.
"Order the outer cavalry to close the net and not let any escape."
Lu Bu roared loudly.
Lu Bu had already arranged 10,000 cavalrymen to wait outside to block the fleeing soldiers.
Seeing the enemy troops fleeing in all directions, he immediately gave the order.
“Here~”
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately blew the horn.
Soon, teams of cavalry appeared from a distance, quickly stopped the fleeing enemy soldiers, and drove them back.
Among them, of course, are Maximilian and Day.
