It is very effective to use cavalry as heavy infantry. Although there are only 7,000 people, which is very small compared to the Persian army that has tens of thousands of people in each attack, these 7,000 people are used as surprise troops.
.
Every time the Persians attack with bows and arrows, these 7,000 people can stand at the front, withstand the enemy's arrow rain, and block the first wave of enemy infantry siege and attack. As long as they can withstand this first wave of attack
, it will be much easier for players later.
Fengxiang City seems to be in danger every day, but the Persians just can't defeat it. After several days of high-intensity attacks, almost no one of the players has died. Similarly, the Persians have also suffered huge losses. Since the beginning of the war, the Persians have suffered nearly ten casualties.
There are 10,000 people. If Persia hadn’t replenished its troops during this period, the Persian army would have been somewhat exhausted by now!
According to the intelligence received by Zeng Yi, except for the southwest battlefield, which was calm and there was not much fighting, the fighting at Yanmen Pass and Jiayuguan was also very fierce, especially at Jiayuguan. The Xixia people did not stop even at night. They continued to attack, several times during the period.
After storming the Jiayuguan city wall, fortunately the northwest army was very powerful and repelled the enemy several times.
The Xixia people attacked at night, but the grassland and Tubo never attacked at night. The main reason was that many soldiers in the grassland and Tubo suffered from night blindness at night and could not see clearly at night.
As a player, Zeng Yi knew very well that the main reason why such a situation occurred was that the soldiers in the two places lacked vitamins. One characteristic of these two places is that they both lacked vegetables, and the people in these two places mainly supplemented their vitamins.
They rely on tea to supplement their health. However, since the Four-Nation Alliance, trade routes to the Central Plains have been blocked and there is a shortage of tea in both places. As a result, a large number of soldiers lack vitamins and suffer from night blindness.
In fact, not only them, many soldiers on the front lines of the Central Plains also suffer from night blindness. This is why both sides try to avoid night battles.
Zeng Yi once thought of taking advantage of this situation to launch some attacks on Persia, but it was a pity that there were very few Persian soldiers like this. Although they were not familiar with night battles, they were not that afraid of night battles.
Persia launched a desperate attack. Although there were heavy infantry to respond, the pressure on Fengxiang City was increasing. Fortunately, with the help of its allies, Fengxiang City was able to withstand the Persian attack.
Zeng Yi also felt the pressure from Fengxiang City. If this continued, even if he could withstand Persia, the losses would be too great. Just when Zeng Yi was thinking about how to solve this problem, he received news from Jin Yiwei.
Hantian and others summoned him back, saying that the imperial court had important matters to discuss with him!
Zeng Yi received the news, said hello to Jingfenghua Qianyuexia, and then committed suicide and returned to the capital.
After returning to the capital, Zeng Yi realized why. The offensive between the grassland and Xixia was too fierce, which resulted in huge casualties on both sides. However, the Xixia grassland gritted its teeth and replenished its troops, but the northern army and the northwest army did not receive such treatment.
.Zhongyuan is indeed unable to mobilize enough manpower.
The imperial court summoned the big guys from the DPRK and China mainly to study countermeasures. If this continues, the Northern Army and the Northwest Army will not have much confidence that they can block the attacks of the two countries!
"Your Majesty, I think we can allocate some troops to the southwestern army to supplement the northern and northwest armies!"
"What about Southwest?" Someone immediately retorted.
"The war in the southwest is relatively stable for the time being, and Tibet is not capable of attacking. I think there should be no problem in dispatching part of the northwest army."
"Haha, do you dare to bet that if you allocate manpower, the other three countries will soon add Tibetans!" A military general said because he couldn't stand the sight of a few civil servants giving advice.
After everyone argued for a while, Zeng Yi said, "The situation in the Western Region is the same. The Persian attack is very fierce. No one can say how long the cities in the Western Region can hold out."
"Then I wonder if Master Ni can do anything?"
Zeng Yi thought for a moment and said: "Wei Chen thought that we could actually concentrate our strength and destroy a group of enemies first, so that we can mobilize enough manpower!"
"Destroy one enemy first? Who?"
"Obviously, Tubo is the weakest, and it is easiest to destroy Tubo first. Once the Tubo army is destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest can be mobilized to support the other armies. Moreover, after Tubo is defeated, for the Western Region, it will also be
It is very beneficial. At the very least, the southwest army will march on the border of the Western Regions, and the Persians will have to leave a certain number of troops to prevent the southwest army from entering the Western Regions."
After listening to Zeng Yi's words, everyone began to discuss. After discussing for a while, someone asked again: "Although Tubo is the weakest, it still has hundreds of thousands of troops. It is not easy to destroy the Tubo army."
matter!"
"Of course I know it will be difficult to handle. If it were easy to handle, the southwest army would have taken action long ago! But we can continue to think of ways, and the opportunity cannot be missed. If Tubo gets support from the other three countries again, there will not be such a good opportunity!"
Everyone discussed for a while and finally decided to let the Southwest Army give it a try.
Zeng Yi discussed with the leaders of the Ministry of War and the military for a long time, and decided to try to take advantage of night blindness. Tubo is located on the plateau, and ordinary people have never even seen fresh vegetables. After the tea output was cut off in the Central Plains, ordinary people in Tubo
Night blindness is very common among people.
..."Obviously, Tubo is the weakest, and it is easiest to destroy Tubo first. Once the Tubo army is destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest can be mobilized to support several other armies. And after Tubo is defeated, for the Western Region
, is also of great benefit. At the very least, the southwest army will march on the border of the Western Regions, and the Persians will have to leave a certain number of troops to prevent the southwest army from entering the Western Regions."
