Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
Wu Houlu's task is very simple, it is to detect the enemy's whereabouts in time, especially the enemy's actions at night, and provide early warning for the city. Wu Houlu didn't know if his job would be effective. Maybe the enemy would not attack at night at all. After all, under such a tense situation, no one could be negligent. Wu Houlu thought it was not a big deal to achieve the effect of an attack by surprise. Perhaps, looking at the torches hanging high on the city wall behind you and the soldiers patrolling back and forth, you can imagine how tight the defense is.
However, Wu Houlu knew that his mission was not entirely to prevent the enemy's sneak attack. At least 2,000 soldiers suffered foot injuries from the thorns of this humble new weapon during the daytime battle. This kind of injury alone is not worth making a fuss about, every war will have casualties, even if two thousand soldiers were sacrificed, it is not surprising, but the morale damage caused by this weapon to the attacking soldiers is unimaginable, in order to avoid The foot was stabbed, the forward speed of various siege equipment was greatly delayed, and the time for soldiers and various siege equipment to be exposed to the optimal range of the defender's long-range strike weapons was also greatly extended, which brought His sacrifice is truly fatal. In order to solve the threat of this triangular nail, perhaps the enemy will adopt various means to solve this problem, and Wu Houlu just wants to observe whether the enemy will adopt some stupid methods to deal with this threat as his superiors imagined.
Everything seemed so quiet in the darkness, Wu Houlu's eyes seemed to be glowing faintly in the darkness, there was nothing, except for the occasional police whistles from the patrolling soldiers on the wall behind him, it seemed that this night was not the same. There will be some movement, and it should be the best time to move now, Wu Houlu subconsciously shook his head. This night is probably wasted again, and I guess there are at least two companions from the squad, it is really not worthwhile. But this is the task, and not every task can achieve satisfactory results. Just as Wu Houlu was comforting himself, the sound of dense and small footsteps began to come from a distance.
Kamapov sat quietly in the reserve camp near the east gate, without saying a word, and the cigarette in his mouth was never extinguished. He likes this kind of strong Burmese cigar, this kind of cigar Compared with the cigars produced in Northern Luzon, the taste is more spicy and stronger, but it is not as soft, delicate and mellow as the cigars in Northern Luzon, but in Kamapov's opinion. This is the cigars that men smoke. The cigars that the guy like Helian Bo smokes are purely a style of enjoyment, and he doesn't appreciate the power of the cigars at all. The identities of the upper-class celebrities in Western Xinjiang, but Kamapov doesn't care about these. He just likes this kind of thing that is more suitable for manual workers.
The smoke constantly gushing out of the nostrils made the whole camp a smoky atmosphere. Fortunately, his subordinates have long been accustomed to this situation under the influence of Kamapov. The boss also developed a habit of smoking cigars, especially such strong cigars, which made Kamapov very proud.
"Legion commander, do you really think that Chu Taifeng will send troops to deal with our triangular nails?" Judging from the situation during the day today. Tomorrow, the northern army's offensive might be even fiercer, so he had to plan for the worst. If the enemy really might break through the city defense, he would not care about sacrifices and could only let the cavalry protrude out of the city to launch a surprise attack to reduce the strength of the city defense. Although this kind of raid will cause the cavalry to suffer great losses and may even wipe out the entire army, it can effectively alleviate the crisis of the city defense in a short period of time. Of course, this is only for a short period of time, and it cannot really solve the substantive problem.
"Hmph, wait and see. I think so, Chu Taifeng's character should not wait passively, and our triangular nails have caused him a lot of trouble, and it has a greater impact on the morale of his attack group. , the battle will be more intense tomorrow. To solve this problem, it should be a good way to deal with it at night." Kamapov said steadily.
"Would Chu Taifeng expect that we might use his mentality to attack the army he sent?" the chief of staff asked further.
"It's hard to say, but in this situation, no matter what kind of melee is beneficial to us, after all, our cavalry charge in the dark can always bring them a lot of chaos. If they want to ambush our cavalry, we only need to If they don't fight with each other, they won't be able to take advantage of it. Let the south gate get ready. As long as the northern army has an ambush, our cavalry will just leave and enter the city from the south gate. If Chu Taifeng has the energy, let us It's not bad for them to come to practice their legs. But I guess he won't put too much energy on it, and his only wish is to win the Yunzhong Mansion as soon as possible." Kamapov replied with a smile.
The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the conversation between Kamapov and the chief of staff, and the sweaty and heavily armored soldiers rushed into the camp with expressions of joy: "Legion Commander, there is a letter from outside the city, and the enemy has indeed come out. There are about five thousand people."
"Five thousand people? Chu Taifeng is too stingy, just five thousand people?" Kamapov frowned.
"Legion commander, there must be fraud in this!" The chief of staff also reminded Kamapov.
"Well, of course there are frauds, but he is phony. If we don't move, he can definitely carry out his earth-covering project with peace of mind. If our cavalry moves, I guess he will arrange it on the two wings. The cavalry will come out to flank us, well, it’s indeed a good idea.” Kamapov put his hand on his chin and said with a smile.
"Then should we also change the way, Commander? Or just use catapults and ballistas to attack?" The chief of staff shook his head as soon as the words came out, "This effect is too bad, there is no clear Goal-oriented, it costs too much, but the effect is poor, not cost-effective.”
"It's time to change the way. Since they put too little bait, let's just drag the fishermen who are waiting behind to catch the fish." Kamapov said thoughtfully: "It seems More flavor."
"The legion commander means...?"
"Let the cavalry of one regiment prepare for a surprise attack, and the cavalry of the other two regiments attack from the north gate. Calculate the time. It is estimated that after Chu Taifeng's ambush comes out, the two cavalry regiments will give them the last With one blow, they will be caught off guard." Kamapov had a secretive smile on his face.
"The commander of the legion means to let a regiment of cavalry launch an attack?" A little surprised, he said loudly, knowing that there was an ambush, but sending only one regiment to fight, isn't it too risky?
"Surprise and unprepared, this is the essence of the war. The cavalry who came out of the city to attack was just to tease Chu Taifeng's ambush, and the other two regiments of cavalry were the real kill. Chariots and ballistas, I reckon that once the enemy ambushes come out, the lights of the torches will be able to expose their own positions, which is just right for the catapults and ballistas to be used as targets. It is good to entertain them once and let them have a good meal. Banquet." Kamapov stood up and pressed the end of his cigar heavily into the ashtray, and said decisively.
While Kamapov was thinking about the possible means of Chu Taifeng, Chu Taifeng was also sitting in his camp waiting for the news from the front line. Chu Taifeng and his staff members pondered over many solutions but could not think of a better solution. The only feasible solution seemed to be this stupid solution. Let the soldiers carry the soil and gradually cover it. Fortunately, the sharp thorns of the triangular-edged nails are not very long, and the problem can basically be solved as long as the soil is covered. Besides, the other party does not seem to have many such things prepared, otherwise they will be scattered all over the place. Sprinkle this thing, I am afraid that this battle will not have to be fought, everyone can only look at me~IndoMTL.com~I am watching you.
Chu Taifeng can be sure that the other party is also waiting for him to adopt this method, and the effect of launching a surprise attack on his troops in the dark is definitely the best, especially since he seems to have to follow the path arranged by the other party. However, this does not mean that the opponent will succeed. The cavalry of the First Legion are not vegetarians, they are fully capable of defending their own infantry, and even annihilating anyone who dares to go out of the city to attack.
As expected by Chu Taifeng, when the Xijiang cavalry took advantage of the night to attack the infantry who were busy dumping mud, Chu Taifeng did not hesitate to order his cavalry to counter-encircle, but let What Chu Taifeng didn't expect was that the enemy would ambush ballistas and catapults on the city wall. When the infantry on their side lit up their torches and prepared to annihilate the Xijiang cavalry who came to swallow the bait, they were met with an attack from the city wall. of stones and arrows. And the enemy seems to have a countermeasure for their own encirclement. The enemy cavalry coming out of the south gate proved that the enemy is not unprepared. Fortunately, Chu Taifeng is also prepared with both hands. The cavalry of both sides fought a melee under the east gate And because the infantrymen had to extinguish the torches to avoid the blows from the long-range weapons on the city wall, this also made the troops of the two sides who were plunged into darkness together finally have to separate separately. Finally, they took advantage of the dark night to get rid of the encirclement and entanglement of the northern cavalry and enter the city from the east gate. This was a melee with no winners, but Chu Taifeng's earth-covering plan was not completed, which brought many hidden dangers to the next day's battle.
