Chapter seven hundred and forty third start the attack
Al Zhanhu and Xiao Fan led their troops away quite low-key, and Xia Fan did not send them off because he needed to focus more on the battle situation in front of him.
In the battle yesterday, the Holy Dragon Kingdom lost three thousand wind cavalry, which was like a blow, completely stunned them who had originally imagined that they could easily defeat the Baishi City army by just fighting. Although the loss of the Three Thousand Wind Cavalry was nothing to the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom, for the current situation in Qingcao Lake, the Holy Dragon Kingdom lost a force that was so powerful that it could be decided by investing in the battlefield when the battle was in a stalemate.
It will take at least one or two days to dispatch wind cavalry from the rear. For the current battle situation, it is really a bit far-reaching and incomprehensible thirst.
Although the losses of the San Thousand Wind Cavalry were a bit painful, Long Tieshan, the commander of the Holy Dragon Kingdom army, did not intend to withdraw his troops, but was more determined to defeat and kill the enemy.
Long Tieshan was not originally named Long, but Li. The surname was common and the name was ordinary. Li Tieshan was very ordinary and it was hard to find him if he was thrown into the crowd. However, he was one of the most capable generals in the Holy Dragon country who was able to fight and win battles. Because of his great contribution, he was given the national surname.
Yesterday, the Wind Cavalry suffered heavy losses, and Long Tieshan was also shocked and angry, secretly calling for a mistake, because he really didn't expect that the infantry formation in Baishi City actually used so many magic weapons to kill the Wind Cavalry.
Although he was a little angry, Long Tieshan did not lose his mind. Even though the camp was repeatedly harassed last night, he did not easily send troops to fight back. Because in order to know himself and his enemy, he had studied the battles commanded by Xia Fan and others, and found that they especially like night battles and were very good at night battles. He was worried that the harassment last night was just to lure him to send troops, and then launched a sudden attack while the night was falling. Therefore, Long Tieshan decided to ignore it for safety reasons.
But the price of the turtle shrank was really not small. Before dawn this morning, my subordinates came to report that after experiencing last night's harassment, not only 78 camps were destroyed, but also nearly 2,000 casualties, including 600 dead and more than 1,100 seriously injured, and the rest were minor injuries. In addition, due to the harassment last night, the soldiers were frightened overnight and did not have much rest. So now they are not only very sleepy, but also have a bad temper. As a result, there are occasional arguments that will cause a fight.
After listening to his subordinates' reports, although Long Tieshan's face was expressionless, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch. Although there were no one who could not die in war, so many people were killed and injured due to the enemy's harassment, which still made him feel very distressed and angry.
"Bang bang bang..." When Long Tieshan was about to say something, he heard a series of thunderous drums coming from outside, followed by a shocking shout of killing.
"Commander, the enemy has begun to attack." Someone hurried in to report.
"What?!" Long Tieshan was shocked and quickly stepped out of the tent. Then he heard the rumbling sound of the explosion, and even the screams of soldiers who were killed during the battle kept ringing, which made his face suddenly become even more gloomy. He never expected that the enemy had harassed all night last night and started an attack just as dawn. Do they not have to rest or eat?
Of course, ordinary soldiers and generals are not made of iron, and they will still be sleepy and not eat until they sleep. They will naturally have no strength to fight. However, the soul bodies in Xia Fan’s Ten Thousand Soul Banners do not need to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, so they can fight without interruption throughout the day.
Last night, Xia Fan asked Dudu to send more than 30,000 soul bodies to harass the camp of the Holy Dragon Kingdom army. At the same time, he gradually retreated the troops who had been ordered to harass them and asked them to return to the camp to rest. So although he did not look at the endless harassment last night, most of the troops on Xia Fan's side were resting very well.
Even at this time, the main offensive force was the 100,000 soul bodies under Dudu's command. Except for some sharpshooters who were responsible for occasionally shooting a few rune arrows, basically no ordinary soldiers participated in the battle because they were busy having dinner now.
Since Xia Fan decided to attack today yesterday and wanted to defeat the enemy in one battle, he naturally thought about how to fight to win more easily. So he had the strategy of starting the attack just now, in order to make a time difference.
To put it bluntly, the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom was either not awake or woke up, not to mention eating. However, the army on Xia Fan's side was full of energy after a night of rest and started eating in advance. With this alone, both sides were more than a little bit less in terms of mental state and physical strength.
Fighting and fighting, to put it bluntly, still tests the soldiers' energy and physical strength. After Xia Fan's actions, at least in these two points, his troops have already taken advantage of.
And this is far from over. Xia Fan asked 100,000 soul bodies to attack first, but it was still a strategy for exhaustion. In other words, whether these soul bodies can break through the camp of the Holy Dragon Kingdom army is not at all under Xia Fan's consideration. If they can break through by luck, it is of course the best, but if they cannot break through, he doesn't care, because all these soul bodies have to do is to attack continuously, and then force the Holy Dragon Kingdom army on the opposite side to fight, so that they don't have much time to rest and eat, and at the same time they have to keep their spirits tight.
A person is easily tired when he is highly nervous, and then he is prone to making mistakes. When he is in the battlefield, he listens to the sound of the surrounding weapons and the screams of his comrades tragically. He must be able to treat it calmly. Negative emotions such as anxiety and fear will inevitably appear, and then he will become extremely nervous and even passively tired. In addition, fighting with the soul body is actually very tiring, and fighting with the soul body is not only easy to get tired, but also easy to make people desperate, because ordinary attacks are almost difficult to cause fatal damage to them.
This means that you slash them desperately with one knife and one shot. You thought they would die, but they were still jumping around and even killed them with one knife with one hand. This kind of scene where the enemy could not be killed by any attack will be killed, but will not only be terrifying, but also very disheartening, and will have a great blow to the morale of the army and morale.
Even if the soldiers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom were not killed in the battle against the soul body, they would definitely be exhausted after several battles, and there would be no possibility of continuing to fight in a short period of time. In this way, these people would be deposed. At least they would have no use in the subsequent battles.
Xia Fan did not expect his small tricks to make the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom defeat without fighting, but he hoped to continue to accumulate his own advantages until the final victory was completely established.
Among the 100,000 soul bodies, the number of soul generals is the main one, followed by the Soul General and the Soul King. The number of Yin Gods with comparable strength is the smallest, and only a few of them are limited to the Flame White Ape King. However, the role they can play in battle is quite large, just like attacking Yingpan. Because there are some defensive formations outside the Yingpan, hundreds of ordinary soul generals may not be able to destroy it even if they join forces, but the Flame White Ape King can directly explode, which makes the attacks of the soul bodies much smoother.
However, although ordinary soldiers cannot do anything to their soul bodies, it does not mean that these 100,000 soul bodies can run rampant, because there are still many powerful cultivators in the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army. Since the Holy Dragon Kingdom invaded Yunhuanhu this time, it was originally an idea to do a lot of contributions to one battle, so the troops sent are definitely elite, so the proportion of cultivators in the Spiritual Peering Realm and the God Transformation Realm is quite large.
At first, the sudden attack of 100,000 soul bodies caused the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom to be busy with defense. However, after stabilizing the situation, these practitioners from the Spirit-Entering Realm and the God-Cultivating Realm began to show their power, not only blocking the crazy attack of the soul bodies, but also their magic, talismans and various magic weapons also caused considerable damage to the soul bodies.
Fortunately, the soul body is not a flesh and blood body after all. Therefore, even if it is seriously injured or even broken up on the spot, as long as the soul is not completely dissipated, it will be attracted by the Ten Thousand Soul Banners placed around the battlefield. It only takes a period of rest to recover.
The function of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is far more than that. On the battlefield, people are killed in battle at all times. Some people's souls are fragile and will dissipate on the spot when they are rushed by the extremely strong blood evil spirit. However, some soldiers are not weak and their souls are strong. Even after their physical bodies die, they will have residual souls. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner can be sucked away to fill the vacant space left by the loss of the soul body during battle.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he can continue to fight with war, then the number of soul bodies in Xia Fan's Ten Thousand Soul Banner will only increase but will never decrease. If the capacity of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is not limited, then after several major battles, the number of soul bodies in his hand can easily double more than once.
The two sides continued to compete for the favorable terrain of the camp, fighting wildly, and casualties occurred on each other.
When only 70,000 soul bodies were left on the battlefield, the casualties of the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army reached more than 60,000, and the war losses of both sides were close to one to two. This shows how elite the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army was. After all, they were not as good as the soul bodies, and they were not afraid of swords, and were able to achieve such a battle record.
Xia Fan has been paying attention to the changes in the situation on the battlefield, especially through Dudu, he is always understanding the casualties of the soul body.
He was not worried about the casualties of his soul, but he was able to roughly estimate the casualties in the Holy Dragon Kingdom so that he could adjust the battle in a timely manner.
