" Archers, fire suppression!"
As the Dengzhou Prefecture Army began to move forward and attack the Weihai Guards 'defense line, the Weihai Guards were not to be trifled with. Before this, three rounds of simultaneous shooting, shot and injured hundreds of people.
Then, he fired freely, shooting down the unarmored soldiers of Dengzhou Prefecture.
"Sword-shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the back, prepare for battle!”
"Light cavalry, mount your horses and prepare to charge!”
As the Dengzhou government went all out and paid the price of hundreds of casualties, the Weihai Army, which was less than 50 meters away from the defense line, began to get into formation.
Compared to the Weihai Guards 'proper formation, the Dengzhou Prefecture Army's formation was a lot more messy and only had a rough formation.
However, this was also the result of the Dengzhou Prefecture Army's commander putting in a lot of effort. After all, among the 50,000 soldiers of the Dengzhou Prefecture Army, there were only a few thousand elite soldiers. The rest were mostly farmers who had just thrown down their hoes.
Due to insufficient training, he was destined to not be able to use complex tactics. He could only use simple and crude human wave tactics.
Human wave tactics were simple and crude, but in this era, they were indeed very useful.
In a battle with cold weapons, it was a competition of who had the most soldiers, who had the highest morale, and who could withstand it better.
"Kill!"
Both sides mobilized thousands of people and began to fight at an important point.
The soldiers of the Weihai Army marched in an orderly manner, causing the ground to rumble as they marched towards the Dengzhou Prefecture Army. They were orderly and had a terrifying aura.
As the front rows of the two sides approached, they collided.
The sounds of shields and sabers were heard one after another.
The clash between the two armies was a terrifying test for the sword-shield soldiers. There was no room for him to dodge. He could only use the shield in his hand to strike forward and the saber in his hand to slash forward.
Every movement was done with all his strength.
"Spearmen, lunge!"
The officer of the First Guard's First Chiliarchical Office seized the opportunity and immediately gave the order.
"Stab!"
"Stab!"
"Stab!"
In this situation where communication was all about shouting, all the small flag commanders and hundred households shouted and passed the order to each spearman.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
The spearmen behind the sword-shield soldiers found a gap and stabbed the enemy in front of them with their spears at the fastest speed.
At the same time, hundreds of sword shield soldiers in the front row of the Dengzhou government army were killed or injured.
"Advance!"
"Advance!"
"Advance!"
On the cold weapon battlefield, if you didn't advance, you would die. There was no room for cowardice.
The sword-shield soldiers took the lead and took a step forward in unison. They used their shields and sabers to create a path for them. The spearmen behind them found the right opportunity to attack, clearing all the obstacles that the sword-shield soldiers could not clear.
With their weapons and equipment that were armed to the teeth, coupled with their fearlessness and high morale, the Weihai Army was gradually moving towards victory.
The frontline commander of the Dengzhou Prefecture in the rear was immediately anxious. Looking at the army formation that was about to be broken through by the Weihai Army, he gritted his teeth and roared,"Gather another 1,000 men and hold them off!”
The others opened their mouths, but they did not know how to refute.
This was the situation on the battlefield. Once the vanguard could not hold on and was forced back, the first battle would fail, and their morale would definitely decline. The subsequent battles would be even more difficult to fight.
Furthermore, the Weihai Army's light cavalry were gathered together, with hundreds and thousands of cavalry watching from the side. Who knew if they would suddenly charge at the flanks?
It was already difficult for infantrymen to fight cavalrymen. If they were ambushed by cavalrymen without any precautions, they would be even more defenseless.
If the Weihai Guards 'cavalry managed to ambush them from the flanks, causing the formation to collapse and a chain reaction, the consequences would be too terrifying.
The commander of the Dengzhou Prefecture Army didn't dare to take the risk.
He knew that if he was afraid that reinforcements would go up, they would at most have to retreat helplessly. It was impossible to take down the defense line, but he had no choice but to send reinforcements.
"The other side has sent more troops. Let the 2,000 households go up!”
Behind the Weihai Army's defensive line, the commander of the First Guard saw that the Dengzhou Prefecture Army had sent reinforcements again. He smiled and gave the order to send more troops.
Apart from this contest, even though the Dengzhou government army sent out a large number of elite soldiers, it could still be seen that the Weihai Army's combat strength surpassed the Dengzhou government army in all aspects.
They only needed to fight for a few more days to reduce the morale of the Dengzhou Prefecture Army. When their morale was low, it would be time to launch a full-scale counterattack.
An army without morale was terrifying. If they couldn't hold on, they would start to collapse, leading to a great defeat.
First, they would exhaust the enemy's energy and reduce their morale. When their morale was low, they would launch a counterattack and win a great victory. They would completely cripple the Dengzhou Prefecture Army!
This was the strategy for the second phase of the Weihai Wei frontline.
Time had always been on Weihai Wei's side. The entire army was not in a hurry at all. They were extremely relaxed and executed all kinds of plans and tactics.
On the first day, the Dengzhou Prefecture Army had lost over 3,000 soldiers, and the Weihai Guards had lost over 500.
The next day, the Dengzhou Prefecture Army seemed to feel immense pressure. Be it the front line or the rear line, the Dengzhou Prefecture Army began to launch even more frenzied attacks. The number of casualties reached 5,000 in one go. In the end, they were unable to fight anymore and retreated. The Weihai Army had suffered over a thousand casualties from the frenzied attacks of the Dengzhou Prefecture Army.
The Weihai Army's defense line was indestructible and as stable as Mount Tai. The generals of Dengzhou Prefecture, whether they were leading troops at the front line or commanding the rear, all felt despair.
Their military strength was no less than theirs, and their combat strength was even stronger than theirs. How could they fight?
There was no hope of winning at all?!
This was especially true for the commander of the Dengzhou Guards, who was commanding the 50,000 soldiers of the Dengzhou Prefecture. When he thought about how the magistrate of the Dengzhou Prefecture had repeatedly urged him to suppress the Weihai Guards as quickly as possible, he instantly exploded with rage!
The third and fourth day
It seemed that the crazy attacks on the second day had caused too many casualties and some of them were injured. These two days, the Dengzhou Prefecture Army's desire to attack had reached its peak. They hastily launched a few attacks and retreated.
In two days, there were less than 2,000 casualties.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Weihai Wei frontline command center lit up. They felt that it was time for a full-scale counterattack.
