Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 3052 Desperate Counterattack 26
This time the Xihu people attacked the bastion near the capital. This was for the convenience of mobilizing manpower and food to the greatest extent. After all, if they wanted to attack the bastion in other directions, they would have to march a long distance. Replenishment is also inconvenient.

However, it is convenient to attack the bastion near the capital, but there are also disadvantages - once defeated, you will have to bear the consequences of the opponent's road being too close, attacking the capital, and driving them away.

So this battle must be won, not lost.

Seeing that Xihu's [-] troops had arrived, An Ran didn't dare to push her too hard, so she immediately withdrew the people from some frontline fortresses, leaving only the army behind.

In this way, the previous bastion was lost, and the army withdrew to the latter bastion to continue fighting.

She wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to defeat the Xihu people, it was just a matter of how many bastions she lost, because in the end, either Xihu found out that she couldn't beat them and ran away, or the opponent was determined to fight to the death, and finally fell [-] troops on her side In front of layers of bastions.

They don't even know how many bastions they have built on the northern land, and every time they break through a bastion, they have to pay a huge price. In the end, they either walk by themselves, or fall the last person in front of these bastions .

Fortify the stronghold and fight dumb battles. With the bastions on her side, not many people will die, but the other party will have to pay a huge price to flatten these bastions.

Commanding the [-] troops this time is the royal family and the number one general of Xihu.

They were all heroes who fought against the Central Plains Dynasty before. They thought that the people below exaggerated the horror of Anran Wubao, but when they actually fought, they found that these Wubao were different from when they had not yet invaded the Central Plains. Wubao, a rich man from the Central Plains, was completely different.

They are all experienced in hundreds of battles, and immediately discovered that such a bastion is like a tortoise shell, extremely difficult to chew, and the opponent can attack from multiple sides, it is difficult for the attacking son Lang to charge up.

Not to mention the opponent's innumerable bows and arrows, which are as numerous as stars. I don't know where they got so many bows and arrows. It is really difficult to fight with bows and arrows all the time.

——Who made An Ran have the fear of lack of firepower? In addition, his subordinates discovered iron ore, so they can make bows and arrows vigorously. When the enemy comes to attack, first a wave of arrows will wash the ground. what.

Of course, Xihu's top generals, coupled with an army of [-], are not bragging, and they have broken through several strongholds in Anran.

But as Enron predicted, that's where it ends.

On Anran's side, there was a smooth escape route, so after the bastion was breached, there were no casualties caused by the bastion breach.

So although several bastions were breached by the enemy, the casualties on Anran's side were limited, but Xihu's [-] army paid a huge price for breaking through these bastions.

There is no way, every bastion is extremely difficult to break through, and the defense line is broken purely by human flesh.

However, after breaking through a few bastions, the Xihu people suffered [-] to [-] casualties, which is more than the casualties they have suffered from beating the Central Plains court over the years.

And with the increase in casualties, morale is declining rapidly. If it continues, the remaining [-] to [-] will be thrown in front of the bastion of Enron sooner or later.

But they didn't dare to retreat, because once they retreated, it would mean failure, and they would have to withdraw from the prosperous world that they had worked so hard to conquer. How could they be willing to do so?So they could only grit their teeth and ordered the rear to continue sending support.

Although 3 or [-] people died, didn't Tang Anran break through several bastions?Don't be afraid, as long as they keep fighting, they will always be able to break through all of Tang Anran's bastions.

But they didn't think that if they continued to fight like this, if Anran's bastions were not completely breached in the end, they would be the ones who died.

You know, they can't even catch cannon fodder now, because the refugees in the north know that they want to catch people as cannon fodder in the war, so they ran far away, or hid in the mountains, they couldn't catch them at all.

If they can't catch cannon fodder, they can only go to battle in person. In this way, for every person who dies, there will be one less Xihu people.

After a long time, the Xihu side really couldn't bear it, especially the old and weak women and children who stayed at home, when they heard that their son/husband/father had died, they would often cry and be very sad. This kind of emotion would be contagious, leading to The Xihu people who lived in the capital and lived happily for the past two years are not happy now, and the whole capital is filled with a sense of sadness.

Many people began to discuss in private, saying whether they should stop fighting and go back to their hometown. Although they can’t live such a good life, but at least the son/husband/father is still there, it’s better than no one now. Anyway, the two I also grabbed a lot of things in the year, even in the desert, I can live a good life.

But the high-level people know that they can't back down. If they are defeated, can they really retreat to the desert and continue living?At that time, he might be chased and killed.

So they couldn't care about the arguments of the people below, and they continued to draw troops to push down Ran's bastion.

As they broke through several bastions, after they occupied the bastions, they found that this kind of bastions were indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. No wonder they couldn't attack for a long time.

——In fact, what they got was the incomplete version of the bastion, because after finding out that it was about to be breached, some institutions were withdrawn or destroyed by An Ran, so An Ran's bastion was more complicated than what they saw.

Also, An Ran still left tunnels or back doors in the bastion, so if the Xihu people planned to occupy these bastions in the future and engage in a tug-of-war with them, it would be out of the question.

The Xihu people decided to fight to the end, but An Ran was actually unwilling.

Although if this continues, the population of Xihu people will be severely damaged, and they will be driven away in the future. Because the population is too small, they will go to other places to survive, and they may disappear in the long river of history, but I am afraid that Enron will be broken again. fort.

Although the outer bastions are all newly built, most of the people living inside are soldiers, and the common people have not arranged to move in. Most of the common people inside were helping with the work, and they have all been evacuated. After harvesting and transporting away, the other party won't get much if they grab the bastion.

However, it will always cause damage to the bastion, and it will take time to repair it in the future, which is also a waste of time.

So An Ran didn't want to fight to the death with them.

If you don't want to die, there is a way.

At present, An Ran asked the people engaged in propaganda to go to the capital and other places to tell about the tragic situation of the war.

Those Xihu Erlang's family members, such as parents, children, wife, etc., really couldn't stand the news when they heard the news.

I didn't want to fight at first, but I just talked about it in private. Now that I heard the news from the front, and the battle is not going well, the king still wants to recruit soldiers. A child died in the family, and there are other children who will be taken away soon. It was really hard to sit still, and the discussion became louder at the moment, spreading from the bottom to the middle and upper.
