Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
The defeat of the City Guard Corps in Longquan dealt a heavy blow to the central government of the empire. The ministers including Lu Wenfu did not expect that the two legions would deal with the Longquan Mansion guarded by the two divisions. Lost soldiers and generals, even the self-proclaimed elite city guards of the empire were maimed by a surprise attack by the opponent's rangers, and the performance of the third army was simply unbearable. Is there any need for such an imperial army to exist? , originally planned to let the Eighth Legion cooperate with the Imperial Guards to launch an attack on Jinzhong. Now no one dares to mention this. The difference in combat effectiveness between these newly built and rebuilt Imperial Legions is beyond imagination. Sidon, the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, directly proposed to disband Including the third, eighth, and ninth legions, there is no need to spend huge military funds on these garbage troops, but the imperial military minister Ji Lin asked, without these garbage troops, how can we defend against the threat of the southern Western Frontier Army?
Situ Yushuang also felt a dilemma. The combat power of the three newly formed legions was estimated to be similar. Situ Yushuang was relieved, and Situ Tai also made it clear that he was willing to put the First Division of the First Army Corps stationed in the imperial capital into the battle against Jinzhong. The certainty of facing the portal is suddenly much greater.
But Ma Yuan reminded Situ Yushuang of the threat from the south, and there was a change of flag in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Wufeng's dominance in the south was inevitable. , living in the land of the three prefectures, but it is precisely in this situation that we should seize the time to win Jinzhong and ensure that the west is safe, so that we can free up our hands to deal with the possible threat from the south. This is what Situ Yushuang racked his brains for. Helpless move. Right now, he doesn't have much energy to take care of other things. Situ Yushuang also understands that the battle that really determines the Situ Dynasty is actually the battle in Yunzhong. Even a tough person like Situ Yushuang cannot avoid the reality of failure. Before the battle of Yunzhong decides the outcome, being able to control Jinzhong can be regarded as an extra chance for the Situ Dynasty to breathe.
Chu Taifeng has already realized the seriousness of the war. The news of the defeat of the Southern City Guards under the Longquan Mansion has already spread. Chu Taifeng does not intend to let his subordinates know this news. Let them know at this critical time. These situations can only be confusing. Those self-righteous guys in the City Guards thought they were the so-called legions directly under the central government of the empire, so they could be arrogant. You must know that this is a face-to-face life-and-death fight, a gamble with blood and lives as a bet, not just exercises and training. Can achieve the purpose. Chu Taifeng has never looked down on those arrogant guys who stay in the imperial capital all day. Now the cruel reality has taught Yousuf a lesson, making him understand that the current situation is very different from the past. The Xijiang Army is not a weak force. The army is really a pack of vicious and hungry wolves.
Chu Taifeng is not satisfied with the progress of today's battle situation. Although he has long been mentally prepared for Xijiang's tenacity, he still did not expect that Xijiang's resolute resistance has brought such a huge loss to his army. It should be said that the Dortons and Pooles basically did their duty as allies, but their clumsy siege methods are obviously not suitable for the urgently needed countermeasures.
A batch of new siege vehicles and siege towers were sent to the camp again. The logistics department's preparations for this battle can be regarded as the most complete in the history of the Northern Army. All kinds of materials are quite abundant, that is to ensure that the first battle is won, and the nail of Yunzhong Mansion must be pulled out before the western border rangers who are already rushing fast.
Negotiations with the Puer army also went quite smoothly. Perhaps the Puer people also noticed their shortcomings in siege, and they agreed to send three elite infantry troops under the command of Chu Taifeng. They will also continue to launch offensives in the west, and the Doton people have also accepted some suggestions from Chu Taifeng. They will appropriately adjust their attack methods to make their attack strategies more threatening and lethal.
Chu Taifeng didn't expect to win completely on the first day, if that was the case. That is an insult to the combat effectiveness of the Western Frontier Army. It also insulted Li Wufeng's intelligence. Kamapov is not easy to deal with. Today's performance has proved his ability, but this cannot change his fate. Chu Taifeng firmly believes in this. The key lies in the next three days. Chu Taifeng hopes that within three days, the defense of the Western Frontier Army can be completely destroyed and the city won. He also has this confidence.
At the same time, Kamapov was also inspecting the preparations for the four city walls, which were still the focus of defense. The First Army deserves to be the First Army. On the first day, they fought so hard that they were not allowed to join the reserve team. This made Kamapov admire but also a little worried. Chu Taifeng's style is wild and aggressive, especially the front ax. Kamapov can proudly say that if it were another army, there might be a crisis on the first day of the enemy's all-out offensive, but the Fifth Army stubbornly blocked the enemy's fearless charge and gave the enemy caused enormous damage.
Kamapov has a lot of experience in the reasonable arrangement and use of the sniper team, especially how to maximize the function of the sniper team in defensive operations. A set of means gradually perfected. It should be said that Kamapov achieved very good results by building a turret so that the crossbowmen and gunmen in the sniper team could fan out and control a large area of sniping surface. The Northern Army paid a heavy price in this regard. .
According to the statistics of the staff department, at least 60 officers above the squad leader of the Northern Army were killed by the sniper team with arrows and thrown guns during the battle in the entire south gate city wall on this day, while the killing team They also killed at least 30 officers above the squad leader of the Northern Army, which accounted for at least 60% of the total number of officers killed in the Northern Army. And it also effectively destroyed the attack command effectiveness of the Northern Army's front line.
However, the strong fighting spirit of the northern army was indeed beyond Kamapov's expectations. There was almost no gap between the successive attacks. The army's adequate preparations, especially the adequacy and perfection of siege equipment, also exceeded Kamapov's expectations. The number of large siege vehicles and mobile arrow towers is unbelievably large. Kamapov did not expect that the Northern Army would be willing to spend such a high price to build so many city assault vehicles and mobile arrow towers. Especially the city rush vehicles, this kind of goods consume a lot of money, and the northern army has also improved the moving conditions of this kind of equipment, increased the speed and shock absorption, and the northern army can invest dozens of vehicles at one time to participate in the battle, which is very important for the city defense. It caused great pressure and was also the main reason why Kamapov had to use the reserve team in advance.
The dragon cannons and giant catapults were obviously not ready to fully attack these threatening siege vehicles. At the end of the day's battle, most of the dozens of siege vehicles were still able to launch an offensive, which made Kamapo The husband was very angry, and the captain of the engineering wing had been dismissed for this reason.
The northern army has also made quite sufficient preparations for long-range strike weapons. More than 30% of the crenels and battlements on the city wall of Yunzhong Mansion have been damaged. The damaged catapults and ballistas are also being repaired and replaced as soon as possible, and the maintenance and repair of the dragon cannon is the top priority, and they will play an even more important role in the ensuing battles.
In view of the severe situation, Kamapov had to send the Tuji team organized by the people in the cloud to the front line. Although it is not yet time to rely on them to change the situation, let them adapt first. It is also quite necessary to take a look at the tragic atmosphere on the battlefield. On the contrary, Kamapov is quite pleased with the high fighting spirit of these civilian commandos~IndoMTL.com~Although most of these people from gangster gangs have never participated in real wars, most of them have had a desperate life in the rivers and lakes They are not too unfamiliar with this kind of **** massacre. I believe that as long as they are given a little time and opportunity to adapt, they can become a good helper for their own army.
The blazing torches on the top of the city illuminate hundreds of meters below the city like daylight. There seems to be no good way for this kind of small thing. Maybe covering the soil or putting up wooden boards can reduce the damage to the soldiers' feet, or you can only add shims to the soles of the soldiers' boots, but in a hurry Where can I find so many suitable iron sheets? The only way is to use the night to cover the soil. After all, this kind of weapon with not too long thorns only needs to be covered with a thicker layer of soil to make it lose a considerable degree of power, and launching an offensive from the front needs to go through this The area of a section is not very large, and it is not too difficult to achieve this goal.
Wu Houlu, who was hidden in the mud, tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked ahead. The dark night was like ink. Wu Houlu didn't know how long he would stay in this dark pit. It depends on the change of the situation. This dark pit should have been dug half a month ago, and it was set up very concealed, not too far from the city wall, so it should be a quite suitable observation point.
