I’m The King Chapter 1133: : Carry on the past and open up the future (23)
Qiu He looked at the topographic map of the Green Willow Villa brought back by the scouts of the first battalion, and frowned deeply. If you have enough troops.
Green Willow Villa is surrounded by water on three sides. After several generations of efforts by the Liu family, they dug out a ring-shaped large lake around the villa and surrounded Green Willow Villa. In addition to the difficulty of water use in the surrounding area, it can be regarded as another version of farmland water conservancy construction, but at this time, it is a very difficult problem for the Han army.
If you want to break through the Green Willow Villa, there is basically no other way except to fight head-on. Qiu He didn't even need to think about it, the opponent must have deployed powerful firepower and most of the troops in the direction of the gate.
"Pig>Pig"Island" novel ww.m "How high is the wall?" Qiu He asked.
"It's very tall, at least two feet high, and there are figures dangling on it. It's no longer a wall, but a city wall." The scout said with certainty: "Every few tens of meters, there is a tower. The bed crossbows are arranged, especially the gate, where the bed crossbows are particularly dense."
Qiu He snorted, thinking that now they must also add the magic machine crossbows they seized from the first battalion. Thinking of the power of the magic machine crossbows, Qiu He felt a little headache. Let yourself like it very much, but when it's the turn of this thing to deal with yourself, you don't know what to do. Now he has some experience of the pain of the former big man's enemy.
"If you beat us hard, you will have to pay a lot of casualties. This obviously does not meet the requirements of the regiment commander, so we have to think of other ways." Qiu He said to his several company commanders.
"Battalion Commander, there is no other way but to attack hard, and we can't conjure up a few navy warships on this big weir." Yu Dafu, the commander of the company, said while touching his shaved chin.
"We can't turn into a navy, but it's not impossible. This is just a weir. How deep can it be dug out?" Qiu He looked at his subordinates. Try to find it, Yu Dafu, you are in charge of the main attack, pay attention, this is not to ask you to go all out, just try it, we need to understand the enemy's firepower configuration, and find out this point. You can return it to me .”
"What if I knock it down all at once?" Yu Dafu asked with a smile.
Qiu He's face turned cold, "Dafu, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. If you think so, be careful that you follow in the footsteps of the first battalion. You have been beaten and disabled, but you haven't even touched the edge of the enemy's position in Tucheng, how much better do you think you are than Fu Jiang?"
Yu Dafu shrugged. Not to mention that Fu Jiang's command ability is much better than his own, but in terms of personal bravery, he is not as good as him.
"Be careful, there is no big mistake." Qiu He stared at the few subordinates present, "The failure of the First Battalion has sounded the alarm for us. This battle is not as easy as we expected in advance, even if it is the one before us. This Green Willow Villa, if it can swallow the luggage in one gulp, it also has considerable combat power."
"Jiang Bing. I know that your water skills are not bad. There are many such people in your second company. Choose a group. Go explore the bottom of this big weir and see if you can find some from under the water. Breakthrough."
"Understood, Battalion Commander, if the company fails, it's up to me." Lian Changjiang Bing smiled and said, "We can always find dozens of people with good water skills."
"Let's do this for now. The third company will serve as the reserve team, and the order will be sent down. The whole battalion will march towards the Green Willow Villa. No matter what, we must speed up the time and strive to take down the Green Willow Villa in the shortest possible time. The head of the regiment has gone to Tucheng himself, if we are late, we will not be able to catch up with the battle in Tucheng."
In the middle of the third watch, the second camp Qiuhe arrived at the Green Willow Villa, just as the sun was rising, and a red sun emerged from the peak of the distant mountain. With half a head, the entire Green Willow Villa is bathed in the sun, and above the big weir that surrounds the Green Willow Villa on three sides, a misty layer of water vapor steams up, swaying left and right with the breeze. On the shore of the water, willows hang down with delicate branches, gently brushing across the water, causing ripples in the water.
"Damn it, Chu people can really enjoy it." Yu Dafu, who was born in the north, marveled, "It's really beautiful, like a fairyland, my God, there is a willow tree there that is so thick, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of people It’s next year, otherwise how could it grow so big? No wonder this place is called Green Willow Villa, and there are almost no other trees in sight?”
"No matter how beautiful it is, it can't stop us from being angry." Qiu He said coldly: "This Green Willow Villa was built here. I'm afraid it was used to guard against bandits or rioters at the earliest. This is not good, from a military point of view, this is a dead place. As long as an army seals their gate, they will have no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go."
"If that's the case, why should we risk their strong firepower to attack? As long as the Tucheng is captured, sooner or later this place will be the fish in our bowl."
"We don't know how many people there are in the village now, so how many people are left to block them. Killed all the supplies of the first battalion, and even snatched the military flag. The Han army has never been in such a situation since the beginning of the Fufeng Army, and there may have been times when they were defeated, but it was never like this battle. People didn't run out, and those who formed the system were eliminated by others. This happened in our second regiment, in the third division, and in the new first army. From the commander to the soldier, they were all shameless. .So this battle is not only a military need, but also a face need for the Han army. The Green Willow Village must be taken down, and the person in charge must pay for the lives of those who died in the battle. This is called blood for blood, tooth for tooth." In a few words, Qiu He clarified the mystery of Mao Afu's sending a whole battalion to deal with the Green Willow Villa. This matter, for the Second Regiment, is already going to bear serious consequences. Take down the Green Willow Villa and seize the main envoy , at least it will make the punishment a little lighter at that time, and everyone will look better.
After Qiu He explained the mystery here, Yu Dafu immediately raised the Green Willow Villa several heights in his heart, and the meaning of the battalion commander was already very clear. If there is a problem, the second group will really lose face.
"Let's start!" Qiu He ordered.
Yu Dafu laid out his formation in a well-regulated manner, but he was actually under such terrain. There is nothing fancy to talk about at all, just an honest and hard attack. The land road facing the gate of the Green Willow Villa is only less than 20 meters wide. If you want to break through the Green Willow Villa, you have to beat him hard The frontal defense opened his door.
The soldiers of the second company spread out and began to press forward slowly. In the middle of their ranks, the heads of the four **** machine crossbows mounted on the carts had just been raised, aiming at the distant City gate building. The crossbows in the hands of dozens of soldiers had already been loaded with arrows. When the whole team was three hundred paces away, they stopped. Thick steel columns were unloaded from the two carriages, and they were assembled at an extremely fast speed.
There was a depressing exclamation from the opposite city gate. As this huge weapon appeared in front of them, they finally figured out the purpose of this thing. This is an oversized trebuchet.
Liu An on the city gate gasped, they also seized this thing yesterday, but it's a pity they didn't capture a single prisoner, so they didn't know how to assemble it. How to use it? Seeing the appearance of this thing, Liu An suddenly lost confidence in defending the Green Willow Villa. The stones thrown by this thing might weigh hundreds of catties. Not to mention the thin city walls of Green Willow Villa, even Pengcheng might not be able to stop this guy's blow.
"Take down the city gate and building!" Looking at the distance, the opponent really put a heavy head weighing more than a hundred catties on the throwing part behind. Liu An's face turned green. No need to guess, the opponent's target must be where he is now.
Under the leadership of Liu An, the hundreds of celebrities above the city gate hurriedly left this conspicuous target. Just as they walked down the city gate, a huge whistling sound broke through the air. Liu An raised his head, and saw a boulder tumbling in the air, passed the city gate and flew towards a residential building in the village. Obviously, the opponent didn't aim at it.
Following a loud bang, the roof of the private house was smashed down like tofu by the boulder, and there was a scream from inside the house.
"The city gate can't be defended, immediately strengthen the second line of defense facing the city gate." Liu An ordered.
Looking at the fearful faces of his soldiers, they began to strengthen the second line of defense. It was the line of defense facing the gate, and it was prepared to counterattack the enemy after the gate was breached. machine crossbow.
The soldiers had just entered the second line of defense, when there was another loud roar from the road to the sky, Liu An was startled, the rate of fire must have been too fast. Looking up at the sky, this time the impact point was much closer, and it almost fell against the base of the city wall, smashing the ground into a huge hole.
The enemy is correcting the target of the shot. It seems that the next shot will hit the gate of the city.
Outside the city, Yu Dafu turned his head to look at the guys who were busy running around and manipulating the shots. Flying in the air is really scary, this is just one~IndoMTL.com~ If the whole division gathers these things together, there will be dozens of them, and if they are arranged in a row and launched together, the scene will be too much Spectacular.
"It's okay this time!" The gunner in charge of operating the trebuchet made a gesture to Yu Dafu, and with his order, the huge thing raised his steel giant arm again. Get up, the boulder is flying, and this time it hit the city gate building accurately. Under the cheers of the soldiers of the second company, accompanied by the loud rumbling sound, the city gate building disappeared from everyone's eyes, and the people who went down The upper half of the completed city wall was also smashed down.
"Son of a son of a bitch, it's really enjoyable, come a few more times, and blow down this section of the city wall for me." The protection of the wall that can barely be called a city wall in Green Willow Villa is still too weak.
The counterattack began on the top of the tower, and the bed crossbows on the watchtowers on both sides began to fire towards this side. For them, the target of this shooting had already been marked, and it did not need to be adjusted repeatedly like the trebuchet . However, the aim of the bed crossbow has never been known for its precision. Several bed crossbows came whistling, but they didn't even touch a single hair of the catapult.
"Continue to bomb, continue to bomb, God machine crossbow, suppress those bed crossbows for me, don't let them destroy this baby." With this feint attack, it is really possible to directly bring down the Green Willow Villa. (to be continued...)
