Standing up with clenched fists, Fang Mingjian had no choice. As a soldier, he only had one choice, which was to execute the order, even if the price behind the order was sacrifice!
The entire Anyanji immediately turned into a hive of chaos. Except for retaining one regiment of soldiers as a reserve team, Fang Mingjian sent all the other soldiers to the front line, digging trenches, building simple defensive fortifications, setting up traps to entrap the deer village, and installing There are only a dozen or so heavy defensive weapons like ballistas and catapults, which were originally used for city defense, in the entire Anyanji. They are a drop in the bucket for defense requirements, but at this time Fang Ming Gradually, I no longer care about much. According to the intelligence sent, the enemy will arrive and launch an attack within three to five hours. A few hours will pass by in a blink of an eye. If you don't make good arrangements and use it, I'm afraid you will be left with nothing. Only death remains.
Fang Mingjian didn't know why the Legion Headquarters only got the news that Luo Bei Cavalry would attack Anyanji at this time. What was the intelligence department doing? What are the people in the staff doing? Is it possible that the Luobei people cannot grasp or predict such a large operational theater command post? Even if he was given a few more hours, he could improve Anyanji's defense capabilities a lot, but now, with only a few hours, he could only try his best to give it a try.
The resentment in Fang Mingjian's heart seems to be felt even by Helianbo and Huyanqiu who are far away in Wusun City, but they are also exhausted. Through targeted reconnaissance, it can now be concluded that the Luobei people attacked Anyan this time. This concentrated operation is a well-deployed and large-scale serial operation. Inconveniently, two attack groups will participate in the first phase of the operation. What makes Helianbo and Hu Yanqiu even more frightened is that the main attack group of the Luo Bei people and another An attack group that has been operating in Gaochang has also joined forces and entered Wusun territory. During this period, the Luobei cavalry operating in Loulan and Gaochang turned out to be disguised as an escort cavalry from the Tengger Grassland. , its purpose is self-evident.
After understanding each other's strategic intentions, Helianbo and Huyanqiu would have almost drank wine to celebrate if the war hadn't started yet. A man counts a tiger, and a tiger counts a man. When our side was thinking about how to deal with the Luo Bei invading army on the southern front in one fell swoop, they did not expect that the Luo Bei people were also attacking their own side's three divisions of infantry and 20,000 cavalry stationed in Wusun. Regarding the reserve team's idea, it seems that the logistics supply problem and the investment on the northwest front have made the Luobi people want to find something to end the battle on the southern front, so this battle will exactly meet the intentions of both parties.
Now is the time to mobilize the four Ranger regiments that have been wandering in the southern border area. While issuing orders to quickly move along the Kuqa and North Luzon border to the Indian-Indian border area, they also quickly ordered to The three infantry divisions in Sun City are ready for battle. If they want to pretend, they must pretend to be fake enough. Helianbo and Huyanqiu almost unanimously agreed to end the battle on the southern front in Anyanji, and the outcome was determined by this.
Fang Mingjian had never been so eager for the arrival of reinforcements. The flying arrows passing by his ears caused screams. The attacks of the Luobi people became more and more fierce. Obviously, they also wanted to get ahead of the Wusun reinforcements. Capturing Anyanji would end the battle so that they could concentrate on dealing with the reinforcements from Xinjiang coming from the east, but this was exactly what Fang Mingjian could not let the other side achieve.
There are no heavy defensive weapons to suppress it, and there are no city walls to resist. The Luobei cavalry appeared to be extremely unruly, and their good cavalry and shooting skills made Anyanzhen the best hunting ground for them to show off their abilities. Each wave of attacks brought up countless arrows like locusts, crushing the Western Xinjiang soldiers and demolishing the houses in the market town. You can't lift your head under the built fortifications. The only ones in the Western Xinjiang Army who could counterattack were archers, although there was a regiment of archers. However, in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry charging in turns, with at least 5,000 cavalry arriving in each attack wave, a regiment of archers could not pose a substantial threat to the opponent's attack. On the contrary, the archers in Western Xinjiang suffered a lot of losses.
Fortunately, after Fang Mingjian briefly consulted the merchants and gentry of Anyan Ji, he issued a decisive order to close Anyan Ji. All streets leading to the outside were blocked by demolished houses, and the entire Anyan Ji was cut off from the outside world. In a dead town with constant communication, only by using this desperate method can we effectively block the enemy's cavalry attack, and also strengthen the determination of the people of Anyan to coexist with our own army.
But Fang Mingjian never imagined that the enemy did not want to occupy Anyanji at all. They just wanted to use the attack on Anyanji to attract Wusun City's main reinforcements. When the rockets flying in the sky rained down on Anyanji's defense circle, Fang Mingjian, whose eyes were splitting, realized that he was truly stupid. This tragedy, known as "The Burning of Anyanji", directly led to the destruction of the entire Anyanji. It was the season of high winds and dry weather. The rockets of the Luobei people immediately turned the entire Anyanji into a sea of fire. The sea of fire prevented the Luobei cavalry from further attacking, but the casualties caused to the people of Anyan and the Fourth Division of the Indian Army far exceeded the casualties caused by the real battle.
A fire in Anyanji reduced the entire Anyanji to ashes. Except for the southwest corner, which was saved due to the quick response of the soldiers of the Fourth Division, a fire zone was dug out. Countless properties and houses in the remaining streets were all burned to the ground. In the future, more than 20,000 people died in the sea of fire before they could escape. The Fourth Division was responsible for peripheral defense and had no time to move, so more than 10,000 people died in the sea of fire. In addition to the casualties at the beginning of the war, the Fourth Division The division has almost reached the point where its designation has been cancelled.
At this time, Kurdo was not happy about Anyanji's victory. The two Western Xinjiang infantry divisions and 20,000 light cavalry in front of them are the big fat that makes Kurdo salivate. It should be said that everything is running according to his own plan, starting from the siege of Anyanji to attract reinforcements from Western Xinjiang in Wusun City, to the reinforcements from Western Xinjiang falling into the trap and rushing to aid Anyanji, and then to being surrounded by 80,000 of his own cavalry, with no village in front and no store behind. In the open space, plus the attack group that had separated from the battlefield from Anyanji, these two divisions with 20,000 cavalry have actually become turtles in the urn, which can be said to be easy to capture.
But precisely because everything went so smoothly, Kurdo had a bad premonition. This premonition was due to the fact that the other party was too calm and collected. Kurdo admitted that among the two divisions surrounded by him, the first division of the Second Army of Western Xinjiang, known as the "iron wall", was one of the best heavy infantry divisions in the Western Xinjiang Army. From the Motes and Kamans to the When it comes to their own people, no cavalry team can get a good deal from them. In every war, this Gaoyue division, which always stands on the front line, has brought countless nightmares to their enemies that are difficult to look back on. But this does not mean that he can challenge an army of 100,000 in his own hands with just one division. Among them are 20,000 heavy armored cavalry specially selected for the purpose of attacking the city. These are the marshal's darlings. They have been sharpening their swords for ten years, and now it is time to unsheath them. Now that the people of Xijiang are surrounded by their own army of 100,000, how many decent fortifications can they build in a hurry? Facing the impact of one hundred thousand of their own cavalry, their only fate is to perish.
But why is the other party's attitude so bland and quiet? Apart from digging trenches and setting up camp, they seemed to have no expression. Kurdo didn't think this was normal, even if the opponent was a strong enemy. But it's a bit strange that he can still show this state when he is at an absolute disadvantage and has no possibility of turning around.
The forward light cavalry has begun to launch a harassment offensive to prevent the opponent from building any more fortifications. Now should be the best opportunity to completely defeat the opponent, but Cuerdo has not issued an attack order for a long time. What exactly is the problem? Kurdo thought hard about the connection. Did the enemy's reinforcements come too fast? Moreover, this cavalry could obviously arrive first, but why did it maintain the same speed as the two infantry divisions, as if it was escorting the two infantry divisions. Did they already know that they would be attacked on the way to reinforcements? Then why did the other party still want to go through this journey
Kurdo's face became a little ugly. He still couldn't figure out the reason. There must be something weird in it, but he couldn't figure out the reason. Could it be that the enemy has reinforcements? Shocked in his heart, Kurdo calculated the opponent's troop deployment. The Xijiang people still had an infantry division in Wusun City. If it dared to come for reinforcements, which Kurdo wanted, it would only increase the number of Xijiang people. A division whose designation has been cancelled. Although there is a division in Kuqa, it is too far away to reach. Secondly, this kind of infantry division travels a long distance. Even if it arrives, it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness. Faced with this, For his own cavalry, he can only become a meal on the plate. In particular, the Indian Army is not yet the main force in Western Xinjiang. As for the Western Xinjiang Army in Bejia and Loulan, there is no way they can make it in time. When they arrive, they will only be able to replace them. It was up to their companions to collect the corpses. So what is the other side trying to do by standing still and waiting for help
Seeing the hesitant and thoughtful look on the general's face, several of the surrounding cavalry commanders who were eager to try were a little impatient, especially the two armored cavalry commanders. Now that the enemy's foothold was not stable, it was a good time to launch a charge. As long as Break the opponent a little bit. These tens of thousands of people were not torn to pieces in front of the cavalry like a pack of wolves, and this first achievement can definitely only be recorded on the heavy cavalry led by him.
"General Cuerdo, time waits for no one. The enemy is building fortifications right now. If we really let the enemy go like this, I'm afraid it will cause great losses to our attack. Now is the best time to launch an attack. I'm sorry. If you want to ask for battle first, please ask General Cuerdo for the order!" In the end, one of the two heavy cavalry commanders couldn't help but ask for battle first, and the tens of thousands of cavalry commanders also agreed, and came from Anyanji It was reported that the first attack group had succeeded in attacking Anyanji, successfully burning Anyanji and trapping the enemy garrison in the fire. If the few of us didn't hurry up and let those guys arrive, we would have to share the credit.
Seeing the expectant looks of the generals, Cuerdo was also reflecting on whether he was worrying too much. There was no armed force that posed a threat to him for hundreds of miles around. If he missed this opportunity to destroy this hooked force, , then I really feel ashamed of my trust in the commander. After this battle, I can rush to the northwest with peace of mind, and wipe out those damn Motes and Tubu people by the way.
Taking a deep breath, Kurdo, who had considered it over and over, finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "The two heavy cavalry concentrated their forces to break through from the right, trying to avoid the opponent's heavy infantry, except for Kaldan's ten thousand cavalry. In addition to the reserve team, the remaining five light cavalry detachments followed up to help the two heavy cavalry detachments attract the enemy's attention, and the camera broke through!"
Faced with the thunderous sound of iron hoofs, Shanzhu knew without looking that the Luobi cavalry on the opposite side was about to begin their final glory. Look at these bastards, they are still dreaming of annihilating themselves in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect that the encirclement has already been opened, and the graves have been dug for them. Now let them show the last performance of the fire-fighting butterflies. Shanzhu, with a grin on his face, even took off the armor on his chest, revealing his furry chest. The weather in this ghost place in the Western Region is really weird. It's so hot at noon, but it's extremely cool in the morning and evening. No matter what, let his sons give it to him. These incorrigible bastards should learn another lesson.
As the huge tower shield in Shanzhu's hand was suddenly raised and paused, more than 10,000 tower shields were raised and paused at the same time. Even tens of thousands of iron hooves stamped on the ground could not cover up the shaking of the earth caused by this, "My sons, let these Damn Luobi dogs, let’s see the bravery of His Highness the King of Qin’s loyal guards, let these humble and ignorant donkeys taste the taste of our spears and throwing spears, and let them roll into hell with endless regrets after their dreams are broken! bring it on!"
Following the high-pitched and wild shouts of Shanzhu, more than 20,000 rich voices suddenly played a symphony; "Come on! Come on! Come on! The gates of hell are open for you, come and die!"
Even though the Luobei cavalry were used to the blood and cruelty of war, they were still startled by the sudden shouts. There were even dozens of recruits who had never been in battle before being jolted by the frightened horses and fell off their horses. , was instantly trampled to a pulp by the comrades who were covering up behind them. Being frightened by this sudden attack, the originally quite neat formation experienced a brief disconnection and confusion. Fortunately, the riding skills of the Luobei cavalry were indeed outstanding. , in this short distance of a few dozen meters, they adjusted their pace and launched their first wave of attacks according to the attack rhythm again.
