Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 112 Broken Wrist
Jiang Bin's anxious eyes wandered on the city wall for three days. He didn't know how he got through these three days. There was a burst of fear, a new day of torment was about to begin, and they were about to face endless torment and ravages. Wave after wave of charges knocked the self-proclaimed steel defense line of Lulong City to the ground. Look at the section of the city wall in front of you. Almost every inch of the land has been plowed by the enemy, and every inch of the city wall is soaked in the blood of Crusader soldiers.
What worries Jiang Bin the most is not the enemy's brave soldiers, but the endless offensive weapons of the opponent, from powerful catapults to long-range bed ballistas, from mobile arrow towers to cross-city vehicles, from conventional stone bombs to fire bombs Attacks from unconventional oil sacs, phosphorus fires, and cigarette bags, round after round, wave after wave, seemed endless. Although he had made quite thorough preparations before the battle, at this time, Jiang Bin still From the bottom of my heart, I felt powerless to resist.
Strolling around the top of the city, looking at the wounded soldiers who still persisted in defending the city, while stimulating the morale of the subordinates. The end is not far away. No matter what I think in my heart, I can't be discouraged at this critical moment.
Most of the catapults have been destroyed by the enemy's crazy attack. Fortunately, the organizational system of the crossbowmen is still complete and can be used. However, under such a fierce offensive from the enemy, how many days can they last? Thinking of this, Jiang Bin involuntarily turned his gaze to the enemy camp far outside the city wall. The endless camps stretched for more than ten miles, with a well-proportioned layout and a rigorous defense system, so that I had to give up this plan to rob the camp and sneak attack. It's just that under the current situation, although the morale of the brothers is still strong, if there is no foreign aid or other ways out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. His own distress letter had already been sent out long before the enemy formed a siege, but he was also full of ambivalence about his colleague's coming to help Jiang Bin.
The battle at Heshuo has probably entered the most critical stage. As a senior general of the Crusaders, Jiang Bin certainly knows the significance of the Battle of Heshuo. Space is a necessary means to consolidate and expand the strength of the Holy Kingdom. As long as Heshuo is captured, it will not only have an immeasurable impact on the rule of the Tanghe Empire, but also bring out the forces and contradictions that were dormant in the first place. It is those forces that have been secretly moving around for a long time. I am afraid that they will all act at this time, and the collapse of the empire will not be far away.
At this time, my letter of appeal for help fell into the hands of Prime Minister Bo, what would Xiang Xiang think in his heart? As the temporary capital of the Holy Kingdom, Anyuan may only have the necessary protective force left, and it may be impossible to deploy troops from there. Then the only source of reinforcements is Longdong in the south, but Longdong is also in the same place. Under the threat of the Northwest Army closing the Partridge Pass in the west, would they dare to act rashly? What's more, now that Xikang has also fallen into the hands of the Northwest Army, they are in full swing. Could it be that they deliberately adopted this aggressive posture against Lu Long to attract Longdong's help, and then took the opportunity to sneak attack Longdong? A series of questions hovered in Jiang Bin's mind, but it was a pity that he couldn't see through the head of the enemy coach ten miles away, and had to fall into a painful inner struggle.
The lights in the handsome tent were brightly lit, and Wufeng, who was dressed in military uniform, had a stern expression on his face at this time. The losses he suffered in the past three days were somewhat beyond his expectations. He tried his best to keep the city wall intact under the offensive, and even the night attack last night did not achieve satisfactory results, which made him very uncomfortable. But if you think about it, if you can take on the important task of the Taiping Sect's west gate, without two brushes, wouldn't it be too insulting to the Taiping Sect to have no one.
After listening to the generals' report, Wufeng didn't have much to say. He asked for three reports a day on the progress of the battle in the Heshuo area. With the development, the offensive launched by the Taiping Army in the Heshuo area is in the ascendant. The fall of Heishan and Longquan has plunged the entire empire into a great crisis. The losses in the battle have exceeded the ability of the empire to bear, and now there is no extra mobile force to restore the crisis.
The only hope is probably that the city guards in Qinghe Mansion can get rid of the shackles of the Taiping Army and go straight into Jinzhong and enter the Heshuo area, but this kind of hope seems too illusory. There is definitely something wrong with the guy, but I don’t know which prince this guy has hooked up with. With such a strong confidence, he dared to ignore the imperial army’s urging orders three times a day, and only soaked mushrooms in Qinghe territory. Come on, if He Shuo is lost, what kind of situation will develop, even Wufeng can't predict.
"There is still no movement in Longdong?" Wufeng finally raised his gaze from the desk.
"Return to your lord, not yet."
"Oh, it seems that Bo Jinchen is also afraid that we will use the siege to fight for aid, but it doesn't matter, the war on Heshuo will not end in a short time, we still have time, and increase our attack on Lu Long Pressure, I'd like to see if You Daofang still wants him to be the place where he was born and raised." Plain words squeezed out from Wufeng's teeth, with a bit more ruthlessness, the three divisions and three Tian Lai took turns to go to battle, although he had the idea of training soldiers, but Wufeng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart due to such a big injury, "If he doesn't want it, we will accept it bluntly, if he wants it, we have to." It would be better to exchange something real."
None of the generals in the audience answered the questions. They could hear that their superiors were not satisfied with the battle situation these days, especially the problems shown by the infantry and engineering soldiers in coordinated operations. It is very different from the real fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield this time. This not only makes the coach dissatisfied, but also embarrasses the heads of several divisions including Mu Lige, so at this time, the coach's tone has eased. , but a few people still dare not strike up a conversation easily.
"Okay. Don't be too discouraged, everyone. The problems in this siege battle are not entirely your responsibility. The lack of cooperation and coordination led to the failure of the attack. This problem is not the commander's problem alone. In the past, our Northwest Army paid too much attention to the training of field battles and positional battles. In the siege, the training that needs to be coordinated with engineers is not enough. This is also a lesson, and it also fully demonstrates that training cannot replace the tempering effect of real combat. , I think we can also give us a lot of enlightenment through this battle." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wufeng also felt that his previous words might be a bit too heavy, which made his subordinates dare not speak out, and deliberately relaxed, "At least we This round of battles between the three divisions has also played a big role in training troops, there are still many obstacles in front of us, and with this experience, I believe we will be able to gain something next time."
Hearing what the coach said, the emotions of the people below were immediately mobilized. Originally, this siege battle could be called the Northwest Army's first real attack. In the past, field battles were often defensive battles. This battle is also quite different from the field defense, especially the tacit cooperation with the engineers, which needs to be trained on the real battlefield. It's just that so many brothers have been killed and injured, and no one is happy. To get such a sentence from the coach With words of comfort, the generals felt a lot more relaxed.
"My lord, if the Longdong Taiping Army is determined not to go north for reinforcements, then what shall we do? We can't keep entangled here, right?" As soon as the atmosphere became active, the generals began to talk more.
"That's easy, take Lulong directly, and set up a posture to go east to Anyuan. I don't believe that You Daofang and Bo Jinchen dare to take the risk of losing Anyuan. That is their so-called capital." Feng showed a confident expression on his face: "But I think soon, as long as we increase the pressure on Lu Long, the Taiping Army in Longdong will definitely not be able to sit still."
Bo Jinchen came out of the Holy King's mansion with a gloomy face~IndoMTL.com~ The conversation with the Holy King broke up again. He couldn't understand why the wise and decisive Holy King was so stubborn on this issue. Lu The dragon's defeat has been accomplished, it is too risky to increase troops from Anyuan, and it is obviously what the enemy wants to increase troops from Longdong. Perhaps Li Wufeng has already set up his formation and waited for the reinforcements from Longdong to leave Liupan Mountain in the north. Right now. The partridge closed the Northwest Army and stared at it. Maybe the reinforcements from Longdong went out, and the Northwest army would besiege Longdong. Once Longdong was lost, Hanzhong would become an isolated city, and Guanxi, which was obtained with great effort, would be wiped out. The holy king can clearly see this, but why is he unwilling to accept his own suggestion?
This guy Li Wufeng is really too treacherous, not only did he not fall for his tricks, but he also confuses himself. If he didn't have a good understanding of this guy's behavior and style, I'm afraid that one side would be caught off guard, but what should we do now? Woolen cloth? Is it really the only way to send reinforcements from Longdong? Sending reinforcements from the east of Longdong can only pass through the Liupan Mountains. If you want to be sure that nothing will go wrong, the speed will be greatly slowed down. Dragon's changed hands. But can the 20,000 to 30,000 troops transferred from Longdong really be able to break the siege of Lulong? Bo Jinchen didn't have any confidence in his heart. After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't make a decision to reinforce. The risk of doing so was too great. If he followed Li Wufeng's baton completely, he would only fall into a passive and beaten situation. No, absolutely not, even if Even against the will of the Holy King, you can't do this bad policy.
Bo Jinchen, whose expression changed a few times, finally made up his mind, but there was a heavy stone in his heart. Will this affect the relationship between himself and the Holy King, which had begun to turn cold? At this time, I can only care less.
