Chapter 763 Small battles are frequent
Mingtang sent generals Li Wei and Wu Zheng to lead their troops to attack the Demon Tiger Fort, while the task of the other troops was to block the reinforcements of Asura on the grassland.
The suicide squad organized by Li Wei and Wu Zheng attacked the Demon Tiger Fort for several consecutive days. The defenders of the Demon Tiger Fort prepared a large number of wood and huge rocks in the city and smashed them down from a high point, causing great casualties to the Asura Imperial Army troops who were sieging the city.
When the news of the Demon Tiger Fort was urgent, Asura, the grassland, immediately dispatched a large army, attempting to rescue the siege, but they were stubbornly blocked by the Asura Imperial Army, and the progress was extremely slow for a while.
Mingtang was very dissatisfied with the slow progress of the siege and summoned Li Wei and Wu Zheng to prepare for military law.
The two of them asked Mingtang to be given another three days of grace. If the city cannot be broken by then, they will be willing to die. Mingtang considered it and agreed.
The battle was very fierce. The Asura reinforcements in the grassland, which had the advantage in numbers, wanted to break through the defense line of the Asura Imperial Army, attacked desperately, and pounced one after another. The Asura Imperial Army paid a heavy price to finally curb the offensive of the Asura Army in the grassland.
In the siege battle, in order to save his head, Li Wei and Wu Zheng ordered soldiers to attack the city day and night at any cost. Those soldiers would be beaten if they were slacking off, and in severe cases they would be beheaded.
After three days of bloody battle, the Asura Imperial Army finally captured the Demon Tiger Fort with great difficulty and captured the enemy's guard Luo Xing and many soldiers.
The Asura reinforcements on the grassland were still unable to break through the defense line of the Asura Imperial Army until this time. When the news of the fall of the Demon Tiger Fort came, they had to lead the army to retreat, proclaiming that the rescue had failed.
In this battle for the Magic Stone Fort, the Asura Imperial Army paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties. It can be said that the losses were heavy. As the victorious side, the casualties were many times more than the failure side.
The battle for the Demon Tiger Fort did not end here. Instead, it became a focus of the mutual war between the Asura Army and the Asura Imperial Army, and many battles broke out one after another.
For the Moonshura Emperor Army, seizing the land within the radiation range of the Demon Tiger Fort is the top priority.
Because this rich land has great significance for the Asura on the grassland, and the Magic Stone Fort is the face-to-face portal for the Asura on the grassland to guard the land. The particularity of its status also determines the intensity of its competition.
On the Asura Imperial Army, there are also many generals who oppose the attack on the Demon Tiger Fort.
During the first Battle of Demon Tiger Castle, many important generals at that time were opposed, and later even Zong Tian also opposed it.
From the analysis of the military situation of the war between the Asura Emperor's Army and the Asura on the grassland, the capture of the Demon Tiger Fort did not have a decisive impact on the situation. No matter from any perspective, it was a war that was not worth the loss, and there was no real victory for both sides.
The profitable.
The Asura Emperor's Army insisted on launching the Battle of the Demon Tiger Fort, reflecting the supreme command of the Asura Emperor's Army, that is, the Asura King Council. After the fall of Asura Emperor, there was a rigidity and regression. From the previous large-scale corps movements to fighting a large-scale annihilation war, it retreated to a position war that fought for cities and lands.
Therefore, the war strategy of the Asura Imperial Army is actually very problematic. Even if it occasionally has the upper hand, it is always limited to border wars and cannot change the situation of being evenly matched with the Asura Imperial Army on the grassland, or even gradually being at a disadvantage.
Eagle Fort is a small castle located in the upper reaches of the Hei Shui River Basin. It guards the main transportation route between the Demon Tiger Fort and the heart of the heart, and was once called the portal.
At this time, Eagle Fort was also captured by Asura on the grassland. The one who led his army to break Eagle Fort was a general named Bu Kuan. He was resourceful and extremely powerful.
Bu Kuan defeated the city in one battle. Even Asura on the grassland is now a real strong man. It is surprising that he is at the upper hand most of the time in the fight against the Asura Imperial Army.
Moreover, this incident greatly angered the Asura King's Council. These Asura Kings believed that the Demon Tiger Fort was at the hands of the Asura Emperor, and decided to punish Asura on the grassland and start a war against Asura on the grassland.
The Asura King Council decided to take advantage of the large-scale attack of Asura on the grassland to continue to work hard to seize strategic areas and establish an impeccable defense line.
A series of battles began. In fact, many times, the Asura King Council was still very reliable in hiring people. However, seizing new cities and building cities to defend the city were not the strategic level of these Asura Kings, but mostly based on the planning of the front-line generals.
The new city is above the Heihe River, connected to the valley in the west, and can be placed on the flanks of the mountains. This city rejects the road to the big river and protects the gateway to the east, making it difficult for Asura, the grassland to launch an attack from the other side of the Heihe River.
In this way, the defense line of the Asura Imperial Army was advanced to the east bank of Baihu and formed a whole. The Herong City built by Guo Yuanzhen before also became the rear.
But on the other hand, the battle to regain Rongcheng, which was stolen by the enemy, suffered a tragic failure due to the lack of famous generals like Zong Tian.
Bu Kuan also led Jiannan troops to recruit Liangcheng, and built two cities on the left and right sides of Rongcheng, thinking that they would be blocked. He immediately rushed to the bottom of Pengpo Ridge to transport supplies to defend them.
I don’t know if the battle to rescue Rongcheng was commanded by the general, but Bu Kuan was obviously not the opponent of the opponent’s elite troops.
The time interval between these battles was very short, almost in the same year. Asura, the grassland, also realized that the Asura Imperial Army was strong and it was difficult for them to fight back with all their strength. Therefore, the best ones were to deal with the elite troops. The tops and lowers were indeed a great victory.
Rongcheng will not be recovered, and the grain production area of the Asura Imperial Army is safe
All will not be guaranteed.
Fortunately, the new deputy defensive envoy later used his inner support to regain Rongcheng.
By the end of the year, Asura on the grassland launched a large army to try to retake Rongcheng, but the attack failed.
In other words, shortly after the capture of the new city, the enemy snatched the new city back, and then the enemy army captured the new city again, guarded by the general, and could freely use it to move and other things.
From this point of view, Bu Kuan is tough and tenacious, flexible and mobile in combat, and is actually a powerful enemy of the Asura Emperor.
At this time, Rongcheng had recovered, and the city's defense was even better than before the great defeat that year. King Asura would be satisfied for a moment.
However, just a few months later, a news that was like a bolt from the blue reached the ears of the Asura King Council, and the Demon Stone City fell!
Subsequently, hundreds of thousands of Asuras on the grassland attacked the fort. Judging from the positions of Asuras and Asura Imperial Army, if Asura Imperial Army withdraws its troops on the grassland, if Asura Imperial Army adds a knife behind the grassland, the effect will definitely be very good.
Not to mention the amazing number of hundreds of thousands, such a huge mobilization will be huge logistical pressure on Asura, the grassland.
And hundreds of thousands are undoubtedly the one who is crazy enough to catch the strong men within the control range, so that so many people can be mobilized. Such a huge mob can't conquer Eagle Fort at all.
In fact, it is to attract the attention of the defender. He Feng, the current defender of Eagle Fort, used to fight in another area, and was unfamiliar with this area and suddenly served as a part-time member. It is also a fact.
The terrain of the Demon Tiger Fort and the Eagle Fort is high in the north and low in the south. After the Asura Emperor's army acquired it, it is easier for Asura to attack from the north on the grassland.
Asura, the grassland, deliberately led his troops to enter from west to east, and shot with a flick. However, the Asura Imperial Army must have increased its defense here because of the huge number of Asura Army in the grassland.
Then the territory, which was already weak in defense, became even more empty.
Therefore, Asura on the grassland first broke the Eagle Fort, then took the Demon Tiger Fort, and attacked him unpredictably. It was truly a surprise attack by geniuses.
I have to sigh that the most important thing Asura in the grassland is strategist.
After regaining the Demon Tiger Fort, it regained some strategic initiative, and since then it has frequently invaded and harassed the border, which is undoubtedly true.
Such battles can be imagined to happen very frequently, and this is the tactic that Asura on the grassland is best at.
Compared with the two, Asura is actually the least afraid of time, because time does not hurt them.
