I’m The King Chapter 1476: : Han Banner World (one hundred and sixty-six) years ago, the last battle (…

Shannan County was established by the State of Qin. King Wulie of Qin defeated the Huns on the grassland and annihilated the Huns royal court in one fell swoop. , unwilling to entangle with the Huns on the vast prairie, so Shannan County was established, and a troop was stationed here to monitor the prairie. It means to prevent the Huns from getting bigger again.

The strategic abandonment of the prairie by the Qin people is of course extremely wrong from the present point of view, because it gave Gao Yuan who was in Jishi City the best opportunity to encroach on and cannibalize the Huns. After a few years, the Huns were integrated into the banner of the East Conquest Army, which made the strength of the East Conquest Army suddenly swell, and firmly controlled the grassland.

Later, in order to compete for Shannan County, many conflicts broke out between Gao Yuan and Qin Ren [猪^猪^岛^新闻][www].[zhu][].[], and Shannan County also changed hands several times. I lost a lot of my generals and troops here. Finally, after Li Xin and Wang Xiao invaded that year, the Qin army took over again. This time, the Qin people stationed heavy troops here to strengthen the city walls, and the Han army also at this time Already so strong that it was difficult to shake, although the Qin people occupied Shannan County, they could no longer pose much threat to the big Han, and the Han army did not send troops to fight again.

But when the Great Han wiped out all the countries on this continent except Qin, and the front of the soldiers pointed at Qin again, Shannan County became the focus of contention again.

Taking Shannan County opened the door to marching into the northern part of Qin State, and the Han army could attack Qin State from both north and south directions. When the importance of Shannan County became prominent again, the Qin people discovered that they simply did not have enough strength to reinforce Shannan County.

When Wang Changyong left the customs, he took half of Shannan County's garrison with him, and he never returned. Now more than 10,000 people have to defend Shannan County, which has to be said to be a very heavy task.

In recent years. With the strong rise of the Han State, Qin State has repeatedly failed on the battlefield, and Shannan County has been reinforced and heightened again and again. Every time the Qin people lose a battle, Shannan County will carry out a large-scale upgrade. renovation. Shannan County now is not the same as it was when Lu Chao was guarding here.

From the original adobe mud wall to the wall covered with blue bricks, and now the outer wall rebuilt with reinforced concrete, the city of Shannan County has been covered with a thick and solid shell, even the artillery of the Han army , and only punched shallow pits on it. And unable to drill through, smashing down his thick city wall.

However, the wall is strong enough, but the buildings above the city wall are not so strong. The shells fell on the city wall, destroying the tower above it, blowing down the cave for hiding soldiers, and overturning a platform crossbow , ignited countless Lei Mu, and blasted away piles of stones that were intended to be used to smash the enemy when the Han army attacked the city. The fire was raging above the city wall, and there was a lot of wailing.

This is the first time that Fan Zhang, the governor of Shannan County, has been attacked by so many artillery pieces. If it weren't for the quick hands and feet of his personal soldiers, the highest official of Shannan County would have been caught in the first wave of bombing. They will be buried together with the collapsed towers, thus becoming the fastest-dead defense chief in history.

After several rounds of bombing, the highly nervous officers and soldiers of Shannan County found that there was nothing to say. The Han army did not let their infantry attack at this moment. It seems that they are not yet ready to attack the city.

This made Fan Zhang heave a sigh of relief. After the shelling stopped, he began to organize people to clean up the messy city. Most of the defensive facilities on the city wall were destroyed, and there were ruins everywhere. Wounded soldiers lay in the ruins and wailed, and among the ruins, people who died in this round of artillery attacks could be seen everywhere. remains of soldiers.

The only thing that makes Fan Zhang happy is that the main city wall of Shannan County City still stands proudly under the attack of artillery fire, and has not suffered much damage.

Outside the city, He Lanxiong was summoning the commander of his engineering unit and the commander of the artillery battalion.

"Commander, according to the artillery bombardment just now, we can judge that the outer body of the main wall of Shannan County City is cast as a whole with a reinforced concrete structure, and its strength is extremely high. With our current artillery, it cannot be damaged. Too much damage, and it is even more impossible to use engineers to destroy the wall, it is impossible to dig at all, and to destroy the wall against the counterattack of the enemy in the city, this is completely worth the candle."

"Then what can engineers do for me?" He Lanxiong asked, frowning.

"Commander, we can only build bigger and stronger siege vehicles, ladders and other things for you. To take Shannan County City, I am afraid that we will have to rely on infantry in the end." The engineer commander was a little embarrassed Authentic: "We can provide enough siege vehicles for the infantry. It is close to Huolan Mountain, and the wood is inexhaustible. We can continuously build siege equipment."

"Can't you build a siege road vehicle?"

The engineer commander shook his head: "Commander, the height of Shannan County City is too high and the angle is too large. It is difficult for cavalry to charge on it. Even if it is built and leaned against the wall, the defenders are very easy to defend. They It can use a large steep angle to cause a lot of damage to our cavalry."

"I, I see, you go down, according to what you said, build more siege towers for our soldiers, remember, the stronger you build, the fewer casualties our soldiers will have, and This is the meaning of your engineers' existence."

"The end will do its best!" The engineer commander bowed and retreated.

He Lanxiong's eyes turned to the artillery commander: "Can the artillery really blow up this **** city wall?"

"Yes." The artillery commander nodded and said: "The outer wall of the entire Shannan County City is a whole, and the reinforced concrete structure endows it with a strong resistance to destruction. The entire wall is built as a whole, and it is thick enough that it is difficult for solid bullets to cause too much damage to him. Commander, I suggest that the next main task of the artillery is to cause damage to the defending Qin army. And the infantry Siege provides artillery cover."

"From now on, the artillery can attack the county anytime and anywhere. The purpose is to destroy and kill." He Lanxiong stood up and walked back and forth in the big tent. , to destroy the enemy's courage and will to the greatest extent. Make them feel irresistible."

"I will understand at the end."

"Don't worry about the loss of shells. Now only our family is left in the army of the big man who is still fighting. The others are being repaired. The logistics supplies will meet the supply, so I'm afraid you won't be able to consume them all." He Lanxiong smiled and said: " This is also a good opportunity for you to practice your artillery. The artillery of our third military region is inferior to that of the first and second military regions. There are fewer actual combat opportunities. In this battle, let your artillery practice their accuracy and let them show their talents next year. "

"Yes!" The artillery commander beamed with joy. As far as he is concerned, there is no better news than this. The artillery's cannons are accurate, and it is completely fake if they just talk about it without practice. A good gunner, an experienced gunner, is completely fed by shells. After coming out, the Third Military Region is not the main combat area, and there are not many opportunities for artillery live-fire exercises. Now it's a unique good opportunity to train with battle without worrying about ammunition.

The artillery commander left happily. He Lanjie walked in quickly. "Commander, the tortoise shell in Shannan County City is really hard."

"It's hard enough. Since we can't break the turtle's shell, we can only go straight to chop off the head." He Lanxiong smiled and said: "Ajie, lead your troops to build a snow platform for me. You should be very close to the distance. Are you clear?"

"Snow platform? High platform skiing?" He Lanjie was startled, and suddenly understood. "Are you going to fly over?"

"Climb on the ground, fly in the sky, I still don't believe that Shannan County City is really impenetrable." He Lanxiong sneered. "The characteristics of our third military region, this battle must be fought."

The sound of the artillery was rumbling, and it sounded from time to time every day. The Qin army above the tower did not have any sense of security and a relatively safe time, because the shelling below was completely irregular. The sporadic shelling has never stopped, and occasionally there will be a salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces. Some of the defensive facilities that had just been built with great difficulty were destroyed again and again in such shelling. What's more terrible is that the soldiers on the city wall found that the opponent's artillery was getting more and more accurate. The initial sporadic shelling often caused the artillery to fire indiscriminately. Except for the sound, it didn't have much lethality, but three days passed~IndoMTL .com~ Qin Jun, who had been bombed many times, found that the accuracy of those sporadic bombardments began to become scary.

This made the soldiers of the Qin army feel so frustrated that they took pains to carry the sand cannons one by one onto the city wall. A few lives, since that's the case, what a fart! The soldiers didn't want to show their faces on the city wall anymore. They would rather hide under the city. Anyway, the Han army had no intention of rushing up to attack the city, and no one wanted to climb on the city wall to die in vain.

What made Fan Zhang even more anxious was that more and more Han army siege vehicles appeared outside the city. In three days, there were more than a hundred such siege vehicles. The height of these siege vehicles is at the same level as the city wall. Once they are allowed to lean against the city wall, the consequences will be disastrous. What puzzled him even more was that the Han army used snow to build high platforms outside the city. Seeing that those high platforms were getting higher and higher day by day, they had far exceeded the height of the city wall. ramp. Because of the continuous bombardment of the Han army, the city did not have enough countermeasures, and they watched these snow platforms being repaired little by little to a place only more than a hundred meters away from the city wall.

It won't work if it goes on like this, if it goes on like this, the Han army doesn't have to fight, and the Qin army will collapse under such pressure.

Fan Zhang decided to fight a battle first no matter what, to boost morale. (To be continued.)
