Chapter 139: Bullying the Few

Under the city of Shenjing, as Ganchao's troops slowly advanced, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry also opened the camp gate and formed a formation to fight.

When the distance between the two sides was two miles away, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry began to act and kept wandering around the edge of the battlefield, intending to find flaws and then attack.

When the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty moved, the movements of the soldiers and horses were naturally much slower, so they were always prepared for cavalry raids.

The attacking Ganchao army was divided into three square formations, He Yuansheng was in the middle, the Five Military Camp and the Shenji Camp were arranged left and right, and were commanded by the deputy general.

When the Yuan Dynasty camp was equidistant and more than a mile away, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry seized an opportunity to attack the soldiers of the Five Military Camp on the left.

The cavalry and shooting in the Yuan Dynasty were very powerful. Fortunately, the five military camps had many soldiers and formed a battle formation, so they did not suffer any losses.

For a moment, both sides could only use bows and arrows to attack from a long distance.

After a short battle, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers and horses wandered again, and the deputy generals of the Five Army camp who were commanding the battles were average in ability and poor in adaptability, so they followed the rhythm of the Yuan Dynasty cavalry, which was quite passively beaten.

"idiot!"

He Yuansheng, who was in the middle of the square, cursed hatefully, and then sent an order: "Start up the marching speed and approach the Yuan Dynasty camp!"

"promise!"

The messenger responded immediately, then waved the flag to issue the order.

The generals of the three thousand camps acted upon hearing the order, and even Qin Yaozu did not dare to disobey him.

When the three thousand battalions moved, the five military camps and Shenji camps on both sides of the left and right wings naturally followed suit. Yehedoduo, who was commanding the cavalry to wander, had no choice but to launch an attack.

After all, he couldn't watch and attack the camp.

The attack direction Yehedodo chose was the five military camps on the left, and the two sides began to fight in close combat.

Faced with the soldiers of the Five Barracks who formed a battle formation, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry had little advantage, and with the disadvantage in the army, the two sides quickly became a stalemate.

"Supervisor, will he send someone to support the Five Military Camps!" Wang Wenyuan, who was commanding the battle together, asked for instructions.

"No, head straight to the Yuan Dynasty camp!"

He Yuansheng immediately refused, but it was not that he stood by and watched, but that the Five Military Camp could still support him. If he went to support now, the formation would be in chaos.

Moreover, the two sides are fighting normally. Once the Three Thousand Battalions and Shenji Camp move, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry can escape from the battle because the cavalry is too fast and they have the initiative on the battlefield.

"promise!"

Wang Wenyuan didn't say much, after all, on the battlefield, the authority of the head coach cannot be shaken.

Although He Yuansheng was just a military supervisor, the prince had already granted him the right to command the entire army before the battle.

Soon the Sanqian Camp continued to advance, and the Shenji Camp on the right also followed and approached the Yuan Dynasty camp.

Ye Hezhen in front of the camp gate couldn't help but look serious and immediately made various arrangements.

In a short while, Ganchao's army approached the camp and launched an attack against the rain of arrows from the Yuan Dynasty's troops.

The tragic close forces were connected, and the casualties were naturally great, especially the main attack of the Three Thousand Battalions, which resulted in a single hour of attack, thousands of casualties were killed or killed.

The same is true for the Shenji Camp on the right, and the casualties were even greater than those of the Three Thousand Camp.

"The military supervisor, if you continue to fight like this, there will be too many casualties. Should you withdraw first?"

Wang Wenyuan was a little worried and made a suggestion to He Yuansheng, because the people who were mobilizing to enter the palace are all his men.

"The battalions are fighting alternately, and the attack cannot be stopped!"

He Yuansheng knew that Wang Wenyuan was worried that his direct descendants would suffer too much, so he issued this order.

Because of this kind of war, we cannot distinguish between each other, otherwise the morale of the army will easily become disintegrated.

"promise!"

When Wang Wenyuan heard He Yuansheng say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. After the soldiers in front retreated, he arranged for other troops to attack.

Even He Yuansheng's direct recruit camp was arranged to fight with the Yuan Dynasty soldiers.

He Yuansheng did not object, because soldiers who had experienced wars could become veterans. Now, it is time to fight against the weak with the masses.

However, after two hours of fighting, the attack strength of Ganchao's army was reduced due to the great sacrifice.

Especially in the Three Thousand Battalions, due to the excessive number of new recruits, there were people who retreated without authorization.

"The supervisory team stepped forward, all deserters were executed. If the order was sent, anyone who dared to retreat without permission would be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this situation, He Yuansheng issued a strict order, because the situation would soon collapse because he would not kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"promise!"

Lao Zhou immediately stood up and led the general team forward.

He Yuansheng's iron-blooded methods quickly calmed down the situation, and even the recruits did not dare to retreat.

The soldiers became more brave by this forcing, and the pressure on the Yuan Dynasty camp became even greater.

At this time, there were less than 30,000 people in the Yuan army camp. Although Ye Heduoduo restrained the five military camps, there were also 80,000 to 90,000 troops in the three thousand battalions and Shenji camps. Such a desperate attack naturally caused heavy losses to the Yuan army.

"Damn it!"

Ye He cursed hatefully, if there was no burden on the camp, he would not have been afraid of tens of thousands of infantry soldiers, and he would even have the chance to defeat these people and wipe out them all.

But now, in order to defend the camp and protect the food and grass, we can only fight head-on and close forces, and the advantages of the cavalry cannot be exerted at all.

In this way, even if the Yuan Dynasty's troops are strong in combat, they will be somewhat passive when facing about three times the Ganchao army.

The war lasted for a long time until the sun set, and He Yuansheng ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty did not bother with each other. After all, they were trapped in the crowd after fighting for a day.

After counting the battle situation, He Yuansheng was in a heavy mood. Because of the day's battle, more than 8,000 people were injured and injured in the three major camps. Although they were not injured, they were considered to have suffered heavy losses.

When entering the palace to report the situation, the prince said worriedly: "He Qing, there are so many casualties. If the Yuan soldiers come back, can we still stop it?"

"Your Highness, we have suffered heavy casualties, but the Yuan soldiers have suffered a lot of losses. Even if we change two, we will make a profit!"

Before He Yuansheng could speak, Xiao Dezi directly explained and his expression was relaxed.

He paused and said, "And there are many young and strong people in Shenjing City. If the situation is critical, they can also recruit young and strong people to defend the city."

Based on the battle situation in the past two days, Xiao Dezi has already found a breakdown and is no longer worried about the loss of the city.

"Your Highness, don't worry. If the Yuan soldiers come back, I will lead the troops to retreat!"

He Yuansheng has also let go of his worries now, because the war has been in a stalemate. Unless the Yuan soldiers attack Shenjing desperately, there is a possibility of taking down the city.

"That's right, your highness don't have to worry about the Yuan soldiers!"

Xiao Dezi smiled and then said, "It would be better if the Yuan Dynasty soldiers come back later, let Commander He break through the camp and capture Yuan Emperor Ye Hezhen alive!"

When the prince heard this, he also revealed a trace of expectation, as if he believed Xiao Dezi's words.

This made He Yuansheng feel helpless, thinking that the two people who don’t understand war were really good, but not realistic.

Because at the critical moment, the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty would definitely return to the rescue. After all, there were their food and grass and robbed property in the camp, and they would not give up at all.

Even if the Yuan soldiers came back late and were lucky enough to break through the Yuan Dynasty camp, tens of thousands of cavalry were not dead. As long as they threw away their bags and fled, the large group of infantry soldiers in the court had no choice but to catch Ye Hezhen.

The three people talked about today's war, outside the city, the Yuan army camp, and Ye Hezhen was also thinking about the current situation.

"Your Majesty, let Ye Hexiong come back!"

The military advisor was also a great minister named Yuwen Hu who was granted the title of "After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty", and made suggestions.

The situation in front of us is very obvious. The Yuan Dynasty must defend the camp, but facing a fierce attack of more than 100,000 troops, the troops are obviously insufficient. If the stalemate continues, it is very likely that the camp will be broken.

Once the camp was broken, the food, supplies and supplies were lost, and the Yuan Dynasty's troops could only retreat.

"No, I'll send a command to Ye Hexiong to attack Huailai County as soon as possible!"

Ye Hezhen rejected this opinion because the current Yuan Dynasty camp can still hold on. If Ye Hexiong returns to his army, it would be futile. It would be better to persist and buy him time.

However, Ye Hezhen now has a concern, thinking that this time, he may not be able to achieve his goal.

Because the Shanhaiguan Guard had no intention of coming out, and there were no targets worth attacking around Shenjing. If the troops were divided into expeditions, the camp would be in danger.

As for setting up camps and camps, it is not realistic. After all, there is a lot of food and supplies, so it is inconvenient to move.

What's more, after a period of time, the reinforcements from the Dagan Dynasty arrived, and the situation would be even worse.

"promise!"

The situation was still under control, so Yuwen Hu did not object and immediately sent someone to pass on the order.

Late at night, Ye Hexiong received Ye Hezhen's order, and his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn. He knew that if the war had not changed, there would not have been such an order.

Looking at the Huailai County Town in front of him, Ye Hexiong looked fierce and increased his efforts when he attacked the city the next day.

But the people in Huailai County also knew that if the city was captured by the Yuan Dynasty, not only would the property be robbed, but their own fate would be either killed or become slaves.

Therefore, the people in the city, both men, women, young and old, were all dispatched to help the official army defend the city. Even if the Yuan soldiers' offensive was fierce, they would not be able to take over the city in a short period of time.

The war in Huailai County was fierce, and the war was raging under the city of Shenjing.

After sunrise, He Yuansheng led more than 100,000 troops to attack the Yuan Dynasty camp with all his might.

With yesterday's experience, Ye Hezhen did not send troops to fight, but directly guarded the camp.

Although this move has a good geographical advantage, it allows the troops who have no harassment to launch an offensive without any scruples.

The battle ranged from sunrise to sunset, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, due to insufficient troops, the Yuan Dynasty's troops were extremely tired.

Although the soldiers of the three camps were also exhausted, more than 100,000 troops attacked in turn, and their condition was still stronger than that of the Yuan army.

On the third day of the battle, Ye Hezhen, who was guarding the camp, couldn't bear it anymore. Because the soldiers were tired, the casualties increased a lot, and they were equal to Gan Chao.

Faced with the situation of being trapped in the face of a lack of horses, Ye He had no choice but to send someone to send an order to let Ye Hexiong return to the camp.

Huailai County was in danger at this time. After all, the fierce attack of tens of thousands of soldiers was not something that could be resisted by the county town with shortage of soldiers.
