Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first

Jiang Han did not expect that Yusuf might adopt the tactics of attacking the east and attacking the west to carry out a surprise attack on Longquan Prefecture, but the huge difference in military strength and the fact that the rangers were tightly entangled by the light cavalry of the city guards made the party in Longquan The layout outside the Fucheng is obviously out of line. It is also impossible for him to evenly distribute the troops in his hands. If the four walls are distributed equally, each side can only get two regiments, and the south gate, which is relatively low like the city wall, is likely to become the focus of the enemy's attack. If the enemy If they really do their best to launch an offensive, I'm afraid that the defense line formed by the two alliances will collapse soon. Therefore, he can only selectively arrange deployment and increase the strength of the reserve team at the same time.

It should be said that Jiang Han's arrangement in the west gate is quite foresighted. Although at least one garrison team is not strong in defense, they are still able to operate those conventional defensive weapons such as catapults and ballistas. Competent, of course, face-to-face fighting can only rely on this alliance of the Fourth Division.

After the enemy surrounded the city of Longquanfu, they adopted a very strict method of strangling and attacking the scouts, which made it difficult for the scouts to understand the enemy's movements. The purpose is to use this method to achieve the intention of launching a surprise attack.

The two main divisions of the first and second divisions of the City Guard Corps launched the attack at the west gate. They came at a very fast speed. At that time, the two divisions of the City Guard Corps had already swooped in. Of course, if you want to achieve the purpose of surprise attack, you can only carry some relatively light siege equipment, and the ladder seems to be the only choice.

It should be said that although Longquan Mansion's security team is somewhat inexperienced in engaging them in face-to-face combat, they are quite proficient at operating defensive weapons such as catapults and ballistas. After all, in addition to suppressing the daily social security in the area under their jurisdiction, the other main duty of the guard force is to defend the capital city, so operating the catapults and crossbow carts erected on the top of the city can be regarded as their most basic skills.

Basic defensive weapons such as catapults and ballistas will be greatly limited in terms of lethality for the prepared siege troops, but for the city guards who want to achieve the purpose of sneak attack It is undoubtedly painful. The overwhelming crossbow arrows and stone rain poured down, and the simple ladder seriously restricted their climbing speed. In addition, the Fourth Division, which devoted itself to defensive operations, fought desperately. The First and Second Divisions of the City Guards Army This raid did not achieve the desired effect.

Although the battle for the top of the city is quite fierce, the simple siege weapon like the ladder, which is light but has gradually fallen behind the times, is obviously not suitable for the increasingly fierce battle for the city wall. The climbing speed of each ladder is far behind that of a large siege vehicle such as a city siege vehicle, and this relatively primitive ladder is not the same as the improved movable ladder that is commonly used now. The aerial ladder already has pulleys and movable hooks, which can easily fix the aerial ladder on the crenel of the city wall, but the city guards obviously did not enjoy this kind of equipment that has been gradually promoted and used, and the original aerial ladder was easily defended. Fang soldiers pushed down, and the casualties caused by this far exceeded the losses caused by the real fighting on the top of the city wall.

However, even if the Second Wing of the Fourth Division and the Guard Wing fight back desperately, it is still difficult to withstand the attack launched by the city guards who are several times their own. But they are lucky, the Fourth Division The head of the regiment, Zhao Shangwu, personally led a wing reserve team and a brigade directly under the division to arrive in time. The joining of more than 5,000 fresh troops changed the situation of the battle and saved the entire Longquan Mansion.

When Zhao Shangwu arrived, at least 1,000 soldiers from the Second Division of the City Guards had already climbed up the city wall. Tenaciously climbed up the city wall, but their luck ended here. Zhao Shangwu led the reserve team to arrive in time to end this imminent victory. More than 5,000 fresh troops destroyed the victory of the second division of the City Guard Army at once, and more than 1,000 soldiers fell on the wall of the west gate of Longquan Mansion. At this point, the sneak attack of the City Guard Army came to an end. , as if they had exhausted their last passion, they could no longer organize a decent offensive.

The ensuing battle seemed too dull. The city guards' feigned attack at the south gate turned into a real attack, but it was difficult for them to make a breakthrough in the face of the resistance of nearly a division. The annihilation of the Third Division had an unprecedented impact on Yusuf's plan. At the beginning, everything was arranged according to Yusuf's arrangement. Unfortunately, it was a pity that the killing of the opponent's rangers would destroy the entire situation. If the Third Division The regiment can fully participate in the Ximen offensive, and Yusuf believes that he can completely win Longquan in this battle. But this is just a conjecture, and no one can predict what the situation will turn out to be at that time.

At this time, the City Guard Army and the Third Army were caught in a real dilemma. Yusuf realized that he had made a huge mistake, that is, he believed in the Third Army too much, so that he made a mistake and ruined everything. lose. Now he has to face a difficult choice, should he continue to spend his time under the Longquan Mansion or should he make a new decision? The performance of the Third Legion was too poor. The attack at the east gate and the north gate, in fact, took less than three hours to be called an attack, and they were completely defeated. More than a dozen deserters still couldn't force these guys to muster up the courage to launch an attack. If it weren't for the Western Border defenders in the city, perhaps considering their lack of strength, they didn't take the opportunity to rush out of the city. I'm afraid the entire Third Army's designation would be cancelled. thing.

Staying in Longquan City is obviously impossible to obtain any valuable results. The defense system of Longquan Mansion is very sound. Although there are not many troops in the city, but think about it. But the defeat of the Third Division, coupled with the fact that the Third Army, which can be called rubbish, obviously has become an extravagant hope to win Longquan.

Perhaps it is time to consider the possibility of cooperating with Ma Yuan. If he can cooperate with the other party to win Jinzhong, maybe he can explain to the Emperor. Otherwise, you can only move your army northward and join the Twelfth Army of the Empire to attack Qinghe, but this is not a good idea. In Qinghe, in addition to the rangers of the Xijiang people, the only heavy cavalry division in Xijiang is also there. If you want to take down Qinghe, which is stronger than Longquan City's defense facilities, even with the Twelfth Army as the main force, Yusuf still has no hope. Yusuf felt a sense of loss, especially those new and reorganized armies. Although the Twelfth Army was led by Liu Ping, one of the four kings of the north, they were still ambushed in Qinghe. This situation aggravated Yusuf's sense of loss.

Ma Yuanchang didn't know whether he should be thankful or sad for the defeat of the City Guard Army in Longquan Mansion. Fortunately, the defeat of the City Guard Army in Longquan actually declared that all the hopes of the empire could only be placed in the north The battle on the northern front line of the battle has begun, and it seems that there is no need for the imperial guards to take the risk of attacking Jinzhong. If the northern army can successfully capture Yunzhong Mansion, and then follow Yunzhong south to capture Qinghe in one go, then the battle situation may have a turning point. Once the battle in the cloud enters a tug-of-war and a war of attrition, there will be almost no suspense in the situation of the empire. The north, which has already consumed too much financial and material resources by this infinite war, can no longer support this huge consumption. Knowing why Xijiang was able to support such a huge battle, they even fought against Situ Biao in Wuhu, and there were three legions in the peninsula fighting endlessly with the Maqihans, such a big consumption~IndoMTL.com~ I don’t know about Xijiang How to maintain it, Ma Yuanchang still can't figure it out.

But **** Yusuf, perhaps in order to restore the impact of Longquan's defeat, actually proposed that the Imperial Guards join forces to attack Jinzhong from two directions in the northeast and seize Jinzhong. It can't be any more stinking bad idea. The poor performance of the Third Army in Longquan proves how poor the quality of these legions established in the later period of the empire was. The Eighth and Ninth Army are nominally still defending the West Frontier Army in the Wuhu area in the south of Zhongzhou. But Ma Yuanxiang wondered whether they could withstand the attack of a division of the Western Frontier Army. It turned out that the plan of the idiots in the central government of the empire to hope that the Imperial Guards and the Eighth Army would jointly attack Jinzhong was shelved. Situ Yushuang and others probably also saw it. Seeing the unreliability of these new legions, Yusuf, a pig, actually made such an ignorant suggestion, which was in line with the wishes of these guys in the center of the empire. After reorganization, the city guards seemed to be able to make up four divisions. The four divisions of the Imperial Guard, and even Situ Tai expressed his willingness to put his last trump card, the First Division of the First Legion, into battle. It seems that it is not impossible to win Jinzhong, but the imperial capital seems to be It suddenly became too empty. Except for an independent division of His Royal Highness Xiang Wang, there seemed to be no other regular armed forces, and the situation of His Royal Highness Xiang in the Wuhu area was already quite dangerous. Will the changes in the Wuhu situation affect What about the changes to this division?

Ma Yuanxiang fell into deep thought, the current situation seems to have no choice, maybe he has no choice. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Part 2, Swallowing Thousands of Miles, Chapter 6, Conquering Hegemony, Section 106, The battle is still raging (10)
