Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 3 Guan Po
The sky in the dark night is like being splashed with a bucket of ink. You can't see your fingers. It's a small building, and the residents here are not fixed. Sometimes it's the city guard, sometimes it's me as the head of the first security division, and sometimes it's the head of the second security division. Colleague Wang Fengshan, as the commander of the third garrison division with the shortest time to build an army, has never had the opportunity to stay here, because the garrisons of the two divisions were retained at the same time, and there was no chance of getting them their turn.
The situation on duty at night is quite satisfactory. It seems that the Kamans will not launch an attack tonight. It is dark outside the pass, and the Kamans also need to rest. The high-intensity attack for several consecutive days did make Shen Jin feel a little strenuous. The enemy fully demonstrated the power of their siege equipment, especially the powerful attack power of the mobile catapult and the nine-bow bed ballista, which made Shen Jin really grow up. After some experience, the Kamans successfully improved the accuracy of their mobile attack weapons, which greatly increased the hit rate of these two types of weapons, and also caused great damage to their own side. Although their own side also had some preparations, However, the power of the enemy's improved weapons was obviously underestimated. In a few days, the number of soldiers killed and incapacitated by these two types of weapons alone was as high as 6,000, while the actual casualties caused by the actual hand-to-hand combat were only more than 3,000. This can't help but give him a headache as the commander-in-chief.
It can be said that the intensity of Kanman’s attack this time was far beyond Shen Jin’s expectations. After many **** tests, Shen Jin has long been accustomed to the Kaman’s attack. Offending, that is not normal. But this time the attack seemed a bit unusual. In addition to the attack from the north and the south, what is surprising is that even the rarely seen Kaman Royal Guards also joined the battle sequence, and the attack in the past few days The quantity and quality of all kinds of siege equipment used by the Rikamans was also unprecedented, which could not but arouse Shen Jin's attention.
The fighting power and fighting spirit shown by the Kaman soldiers also made Shen Jin a little worried. Judging from the designation of the enemy's attacking troops, the one located in Guannan is the Royal Guards of the Kaman people, and its fighting power naturally does not need much It is said that the other army is also the main force of the Kamans - the Seventh Corps, and the Guanbei is the third Kaman Corps known as the "Iron Cone", and its attack power is also ranked among the main forces of Kaman The forefront of the regiment. After a few days of fighting, the natural defense capability of the fortress certainly caused huge losses to the Kamanians, but the losses on the defensive side were not small, far exceeding Shen Jin's estimate before the battle.
Of course, this does not affect the overall defense capability of the fortress. Jiayuguan, known as the number one pass in the world, has established a complete set of emergency defense plans long ago. Among the 80,000 civilians in the fortress, there are about 20,000 strong men. They are all from the hinterland of the empire. Their long-term frontier life has created their aggressive character and style. The fortress conducts routine reserve training for them almost every year, although There is no real formation of an army, but only one order is needed, and an armed force with strong combat effectiveness can be formed immediately. There are sufficient weapons and materials in the fortress. As long as they are fully equipped, a brand new team can be at Shen Jin's disposal . As long as they rely on the excellent fortifications of the fortress, they can also exert great power.
Back in the command mansion, make a cup of strong tea. Although it seems that the Kamans will not launch an attack tonight, Shen Jin still has difficulty sleeping, especially because he cannot see through the conspiracy behind the opponent, which makes him even with the most The strongest and most complete defense system is still difficult to sleep easily. The careful inspection of the front gate and the back gate reassured him a little. The strict on-duty system, as well as the fact that there is a reserve team of each wing at the gates of the front and rear gates, such a strict deployment, Shen Jin also Consciously dare not boast that it is safe, at least it can be regarded as impenetrable.
Spreading out the map on the case, Shen Jin carefully inspected the situation around the fortress. Another large army of Kamans had already approached Taixuanfu City, but he was not too worried. There should be a way to deal with it, as long as I firmly hold on to Jiayuguan from falling, I will be the first achievement, and the rest is out of my control. Days of fatigue would be hard to resist even with strong tea. He rubbed his eyes heavily and walked out. Everything was so peaceful. Who would have guessed that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind this calm?
The mouths of all war horses are covered with special mouth cages to prevent them from making noise, and the four hooves are also wrapped in thick cotton cloth. Even soldiers are made an exception and are required to hold a stone in each mouth. To prevent accidental exposure, everything was done silently. The 10,000 elite infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry moved quietly to a hidden place one kilometer away before the pass, and further ahead was the enemy army. As far as the light can reach.
Like other ordinary soldiers, Claudia patiently lay down on the wet grass. The sweltering weather indicates that there will be another heavy rain soon. Even after applying a lot of mosquito repellent, it still cannot stop the mosquitoes However, the soldiers were quietly lurking there like a group of stone statues that had already solidified.
"My lord, there is still a moment before midnight."
"Well," took a deep breath, then stood up, Claudia tried his best to calm down, "Order the first and second thousand infantry teams to move forward quickly, and the remaining five thousand teams will go forward in five minutes. Follow up, the cavalry waits for the signal."
Waves suddenly surged on the grass, from small to large, and quickly rushed towards the distant city wall. The first and second thousand troops are the elite of the Claudia Royal Guards, and their combat power is unparalleled in the entire Kaman army. Not using it, just preparing for this day, when good steel is used on the blade, the outcome will be decided in one fell swoop.
Seeger walked back and forth in front of the city gate anxiously. He kept rubbing his hands together to hide his uneasiness. After more than ten years of hard work, it depends on today's night. Already doomed?
The soldiers on duty secretly looked at the deputy head of the division who was a little different from the usual calm and composed image. Maybe the **** battles of the past few days made the deputy head of the division Sig too excited. Climbing up to the tower, Sig had enough eyesight, but he couldn't see farther. He looked at the time, gritted his teeth, and made a gesture with several of his capable confidants. The suspension bridge on the city gate creaked. Come down, at the same time, the tightly closed heavy iron gate slowly cracked a big crack under the forceful push of a dozen soldiers. All this seemed so sudden that even the other soldiers on duty around them did not even react. .
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, an officer who looked like a captain ran up and saluted and asked, "My lord, what do you want to do when you open the city gate?"
"Oh, according to the command of the commander-in-chief, reinforcements will arrive quietly tonight, and I am ordered to welcome them into the city." On the surface, he looked lightly, but Sig's heart was pounding.
Although I didn't get any news about this, the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and he is still the number two person in his division. The officer just scratched his head and returned to his post without asking any more questions. Sig's clenched hands were already covered with sweat, and he didn't dare to do anything else, just pretending to be impatient and waiting for the visitor.
Fortunately, this torment did not last long, and a sound of orderly swishing footsteps came from far and near, quickly extending towards the city gate. Although the soldiers on the city wall who were notified by the officer were very strange, they just held their swords, guns, bows and arrows and curiously looked at the somewhat weird team below the city, but they never thought that this team would become the death king who ended their mission.
As soon as Claudia, who was among the infantry, stepped into the city gate, he saw the calm man standing on the edge of the city gate. The hands were tightly held together, and the soldiers who swarmed in had already begun to take over the defense of the city gate according to the order.
The soldiers who had been sticking to their posts finally felt a little strange, why this friendly army would take over the defense of the city gate as soon as it arrived. people, and they were all as silent as dumb.
However, all of this did not last long. When a soldier accidentally discovered that the clothes of the friendly army were actually golden yellow military uniforms, all of this had its answer.
"They are Kamanians!!!" A panicked and shrill voice pierced the silent night sky, and the originally amiable friendly army suddenly turned into a murderous butcher. The entire city gate quickly turned into a slaughterhouse with the Kaman soldiers coming in preparation. When the reserve team guarding the side woke up, the Kaman army had firmly controlled the city gate that was crucial to the survival of the fortress.
Following the signal, when Lei Dong's cavalry's hooves rolled in, the battle for the city gate also entered into a frenzied desperate battle. After rushing into the city gate, they quickly lost their advantage ~IndoMTL.com~ But they dared not take half a step back. Fighting is death, retreating is death, and the reserve team of an alliance with the idea of living and dying with the enemy soon Disappearing in the torrent of Kaman soldiers constantly pouring in, when the main force of Taixuan arrived after hearing the news, they were greeted by Kaman armored cavalry who rushed in overwhelmingly.
With the iron halberds of the armored soldiers dancing wildly, waves of blood were rolled up. The sleepy and unprepared infantry phalanx was unable to resist these natural infantry nemesis. The best place for power, the soldiers fell in rows under the raging iron hooves, and the Kaman infantry who followed quickly participated in the sweep of the streets and houses in the fortress, and the defense was stunned The army could no longer organize an effective defense, and the influx of Kaman soldiers into the fortress made the fortifications completely useless, and the entire city gate was completely controlled by the Kamans.
Shen Jin looked desperately at the raging fire, and the deafening shouts of killing spread throughout the city. Even though the soldiers fought **** battles, the garrison troops, which had lost the opportunity and had a certain gap in number and combat effectiveness, were gone. They are no longer able to make effective resistance, and worthless resistance may bring unimaginable disaster to everyone in the fortress. Maybe the Kamans are trying to find an excuse to bloodbath the fortress in order to avenge the suffering suffered by their troops these days. Loss.
Shen Jin closed his eyes in pain. After receiving the promise from Marquis Claudia, the commander of the Kaman side, to ensure the safety of the surrendered troops and the residents in the fortress, Shen Jin handed over the command of the troops to his deputy commander. He must have an explanation, he does not want his wives, concubines and children to become playthings ravaged by the nobles, and suicide has become his only choice.
