In the Qinghe camp, the main force of the Third Army also completed its assembly.
Smoke and dust were billowing in front of the camp. Anyone with a little military knowledge could tell from a quick observation that there were at least tens of thousands of infantrymen lined up in front.
Behind the infantry, there should be a lot of armored cavalry and elite infantry as the core assault force.
Corresponding actions were taken in Jingdong City. No matter how the reinforcements fought on the periphery, it was actually unreasonable that there was no movement in the city.
But after repeating the meaningless breakout attempt of the previous few days, the army in the city fell silent again. However, no matter what, the reserve troops were always prepared. If the reinforcements could really create a miracle, the defenders in the city could rush out and fight to the death.
Not long after, there seemed to be movement on both sides of the Qinghe camp, and a large number of infantrymen gradually appeared in the wilderness on both sides.
It is obvious that Qin Shou invested a lot of money this time.
In Qin Shou's judgment, although the number of the Qinghe Third Army was a bit strange, it only had about 10,000 people in total. He dispatched 20,000 people to launch an attack and stretched the front line as much as possible in order to maximize his military advantage.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Qin Shou's judgment.
The total strength of the Qinghe Third Army reached 20,000 people, but the field force was only 10,000 of them. The rest were mostly mobilized militia and mobilized soldiers, used for logistics and auxiliary work for the entire army.
But when it comes to training and equipment, the militia and mobilized soldiers are actually not weaker than the recruits under his command, and are even stronger. After all, soldiers recruited under a complete military training and mobilization system are inherently stronger than the temporarily recruited young men.
However, Qinghe had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of Qin Shou's troops.
After all, the long march from Taijing to here is enough for the scouts to get a clear picture of the enemy's situation.
Therefore, except for Pan Liangyong who was still looking at the reinforcements from afar on the city wall of Jingdong, everyone knew that today was the day of the general attack by the Cambodian reinforcements.
He launched a general attack on the first day of the war. It has to be said that although Yang Yizhen had no other qualities, he was very brave.
"headmaster."
In the center of the camp, Ding Lin and several guards hurriedly climbed onto the giant platform. Then, with a nervous look on his face, he said to Lin Hai, "It's still dangerous here. Why don't you go to the main camp and wait, or go to the old army to inspect it first..."
Indeed, if Qin Shou knew that Lin Hai was in this position, he would probably charge with his entire army to cover his men's crossbows to get within range, and then take a risky attack.
"That's not necessary." Lin Hai did not wear Qinghe's standard armor. Instead, Shi Zhen'er wore a set of iron armor. Although the iron armor was a bit big, making the movement quite clumsy, as long as no one spoke, at least the soldiers would not know that their commander brought a woman to the battle.
"Besides, if the opponent can kill me standing in this position, we will almost lose this battle." Lin Hai felt a little tired after standing for too long, so he asked someone to bring a chair and leaned his hands on the wooden fence in front of him.
"Besides, I think that neither Yang Yizhen nor Qin Shou would know that I am here. Not many people know that I am in the army. Could it be that you or Zhen'er ran over and told him?" Lin Hai made a rare joke.
"Okay, as long as you are willing. But this command platform is the command post before the war, so I have to come to this platform as well." Ding Lin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and asked people to put up their own flags on the platform and move in all the necessary affairs. It seemed that he was indeed preparing to take command from the platform.
"Don't worry, you are in full command, and I will only be responsible for watching the fun." Lin Hai said with a smile.
That's actually what Ding Lin meant. It's like taking an exam: doing the questions myself versus having the teacher standing by and watching me do them are two completely different experiences. He was also worried that Lin Hai might be giving him random advice, so should he listen or not?
However, after hearing what Lin Hai said, and seeing Lin Hai ask his followers to go to the kitchen to get some tea and even move his seat to the side, he no longer worried about it. Instead, he took a deep breath and calmly entered his own state.
It can be seen from the smoke and dust on the opposite side that although Qin Shou has no intention of saving troops, the main force is still on the opposite side, with more than 10,000 people, and thousands of people on each side, which adds up to about 10,000 people.
It can be seen that Deputy Commander Qin is taking a gamble.
For Ding Lin, as long as he could block the opponent's first three attacks and effectively weaken Qin Shou's core group of veterans, there would be no suspense in this battle.
What needs to be considered more is Lin Hai's proposal to completely wipe out the Cambodian reinforcements in preparation for the capture of Bangkok.
However, because the Second Army's blockade of Jingdong was not far behind the Third Army's camp, both sides could only decide the outcome on one front.
However, although the large force could not be sent out, Qin Shou still drew a small part from his tight elite troops, hoping that they would start from the west, take some time to cross the river downstream, make a big circle, and try to bypass the camp of the Qinghe Third Army and the blockade line of the Second Army to see if they could find the possibility of directly defeating the Second Army from behind.
At the very least, we must give the people in the city a certain degree of confidence, letting them know that reinforcements are not only coming, but also have the power to save them.
Otherwise, if he defeated the Qinghe Third Army and then found that the Second Army had entered the city and was defending it, that would be the most embarrassing situation.
Of course, Qin Shou was just testing the waters. His requirements for this special forces were very simple: if they encountered resolute resistance from the enemy or were at risk of being surrounded, they should withdraw immediately. After all, the elite troops were not a bunch of new recruits, and he could not afford the losses.
