Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 73 Great Battle (4)

Even the sun seemed unwilling to witness this tragic scene, and slipped quietly behind the clouds. The day's offense and defense are coming to an end, of course, unless the coach of the offensive side intends to light up the night battle, but in this case, the night battle is also a kind of difficult to achieve better results, and the Maqihan coach does not want to do this.

As the sound of the horn turned into a mournful long cry, the first to retreat was the infantry team fighting on the front line. When the infantry retreated to a certain position, all kinds of small engineering equipment began to retreat, and those Large-scale siege equipment is also slowly retreating under the force of animals or manpower. At this time, the cavalry on the two wings are on high alert to prevent the enemies in the fortress from rushing out and taking the opportunity to kill them. However, it seems that the Sanjiang army in the fortress has also suffered a lot of losses. , everything ended in a very peaceful form.

The mottled bloodstains on the city walls and the still smoking towers indicated that the battle was not over. This was just a short rest, for the more brutal battle the next day. The logistics personnel of the two sides who packed up the corpses raised the flag of avoiding battle with a red cross on a white background as usual. After a day's rest, the logistics soldiers began to busy up and down the city wall. They should be picked up like body bags, and then try to take out the soldier badges hanging on them and place them on the body bags as a basis for confessing to the dead soldiers. This practice was not popular in the Eastern Continent, but with the frequent wars between the Tanghe Empire and the three northern countries, and the Milanese who accepted the customs of the Western Continent, they also began to adopt this humane measure in their battles with the Machihans. This method quickly became an unwritten rule in the Eastern Continent.

Pu Tiancheng was not very satisfied with the first day's battle, especially when he saw the corpses piled up in half the camp, this scene made him even more unhappy. It's not dissatisfaction with the combat effectiveness of the Habayashi Corps, but doubts about the intelligence fed back by the domestic intelligence department. From the intelligence, it should be said that the Loushanguan city defense facilities are not complete, and it can even be said to be relatively simple. In the past year, the Sanjiang side has strengthened the defense facilities of Loushan Pass, but after all, the buildings at Loushan Pass have been fixed, and only some small and medium-sized expansions can be done. Not very consistent.

The first is the enemy's catapult positions. Although I destroyed the enemy's catapult positions with the help of powerful long-range weapons, the enemy rearranged the mobile catapult positions in a short period of time. It is not as good as the first batch, but this kind of change has caused the unexpected side to suffer a lot, especially the mobile arrow towers and siege vehicles that thought the enemy had lost their heavy strike weapons. Due to their slow speed, they became the opponent's catapults The key target of the attack, the mobile arrow tower alone lost 28 vehicles today, and the archers lost more than 600 people, which made Pu Tiancheng quite distressed; and the siege vehicles were even more miserable, ten vehicles had not yet advanced When they reached the city wall, they were destroyed by catapults and lost their ability to move, and the rockets that followed immediately turned the siege vehicle into a furnace, so that the soldiers who tried to pass the siege vehicle had to use the siege vehicle to attack like ten lions jumping over fire Circles are generally difficult.

The enemy built a large number of hidden military rooms extending in all directions on the back of the city wall, which also caused his side to suffer a dark loss. Being able to enter the battlefield at the most critical moment, regain the upper hand, and behead the soldiers of one's own side who had finally climbed up the city wall, and when the long-range weapons of one's own side started to attack, they retreated to the hiding room to hide , Such repetitions repeatedly frustrated one's offensive, and also caused heavy losses to the two Habayashi Corps.

But the enemy's determination to die is the most troublesome thing for Pu Tiancheng. He didn't want to fight to the last moment with his opponent through this method. Although he believed that he could finally stand on the top of Loushan Pass with his current strength, he really didn't want to use this kind of **** and a little Fangzheng's method is to kill three thousand people and injure eight hundred people. This is an old saying of Tanghe people, and it is also a classic explanation of frontal war. Pu Tiancheng does not want to see this scene, but the possibility of this situation is gradually increasing , especially after seeing the performance of the Sanjiang army today, Pu Tiancheng thinks so, this is not a good sign.

But he has nothing to do, even if it is difficult, no matter how big the loss, he must fight this battle. If you don't pull out the nail of Loushanguan, you will never be able to move westward with all your strength. This is like a bone spur stuck in your throat, which makes people unable to eat or sleep well.

After arranging all the people on duty in the big tent, Pu Tiancheng pondered over the map for a while before he felt a little tired, and went to the inner tent to sleep, but before he fell asleep, he heard a sudden killing sound from the southwest, After walking out of the tent in a few steps, I could see the flames shooting up to the sky from the southwest, and half of the sky turned red, but the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and faint crashes and neighing of horses could be heard from time to time.

Standing outside the tent with his hands behind his back, Pu Tiancheng's face sank like water, but his heart was full of surprises. While ordering the soldiers to quickly investigate the situation, he was guessing what happened. I have specially arranged for various troops to be on duty at night to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp at night. Could it be that a small group of enemies harass at night and deliberately want to affect the sleep and rest of our soldiers? It doesn't seem like an elephant, but the sound of clashing weapons proves that the two sides have already confronted each other, but judging from the position, it seems that they are in the camp. Could it be that the enemy didn't know that the soldiers on duty in the camp were touched? This is too exaggerated.

It wasn't until an hour later that news came from the southwest that Pu Tiancheng understood the real situation. The enemy had really come to rob the camp, and they had successfully burned all the food and grass and some of the siege equipment of the Fifth Corps. , and the Fifth Corps even suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Pu Tiancheng, whose face turned livid, stared at the officer who came to report the situation, and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that he repeatedly ordered all the corps to pay attention to strengthening night duty, but he was still robbed by the other party. Or go directly to the depths of the camp. If it is not discovered in time, I am afraid that even the entire Fifth Corps will be blamed by the opponent. Even so, the blow to the morale of the Fifth Corps and other departments is difficult to estimate.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to strengthen night duty? How did the enemy get in? What did Gudema (the commander of the Fifth Corps) do? Why didn't you come and report to me in person?" Yin The pitiful voice made the deputy head of the army who came to report the situation couldn't help but shudder. This General Dingguo is a well-known thorny general who is hard-working. Give him a satisfactory explanation, and it will be difficult for him to pass the military law.

"Returning to Commander, there is a reason for the incident, but we are also to blame for some careless mistakes. The regiment commander is now personally directing the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's sneak attack. It is estimated that it will end soon." The deputy regiment commander did not dare to neglect, and took the initiative to take some responsibility , he knows that the coach hates people who shirk responsibility the most.

"There is a reason for everything? How can there be a reason? Let's hear it." Hearing what the other party said, Pu Tiancheng's complexion improved, but the tone of his words was still cold.

"Our regiment is stationed in the southeast corner of Loushan Pass, where there is a large mass of graves. When camping, we have searched the area thoroughly, but because the soldiers are somewhat taboo about graves, the camps are all surrounded by mass graves. Some distance away from the random graves, I didn’t expect it to be a trap designed by the Sanjiang people. Those random graves have tunnels connected to the underground, directly connected to the Loushanguan Fortress. The enemy sneaked out from the random graves at night and assassinated our officers on duty Sentinels, take advantage of the situation to attack fire prevention in our camp~IndoMTL.com~Because the sudden attack came from the center and it was dark night, so the ministries didn’t know where the enemy came from. There was some confusion in the early stage. The position has been stabilized, the number of enemies is not too many, and the situation has been basically under control when I came to report to the commander in chief." The deputy commander obviously had already considered his words on the way, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

In fact, when the other party said the word Luan Graves, Putian Chengcheng knew what the problem was. He didn't expect that the opponent would do this again. It was obviously premeditated, and he even built the tunnel directly outside the city. Maybe the original The purpose is to make it easier to sneak out of the city at night. I didn't expect that this time I went straight into my own battalion. It's really bad luck for the Fifth Corps.

After a long silence, the gloomy pupils seemed to be searching for something under the butter lamp, and Pu Tiancheng squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Go back and search for me, don't let the enemy get in, if there is any When this kind of thing happens, let Gudemar wash his neck and wait for the military law team to behead him!"

The deputy head of the regiment nodded repeatedly as if he had received an amnesty, and left with a salute. Only Pu Tiancheng and his chief of staff were left in the big tent. Sitting back in the handsome chair, Pu Tiancheng was so tormented that he couldn't sleep at this time. Looking at the dark night sky outside the tent, he felt that maybe his previous prediction was a bit too optimistic. The Lin family is operating on this piece of land. For decades, although the glorious period has passed, its latent power and the will of the army honed through long-term battles are still not to be underestimated. On the first day, he made himself so embarrassed, and he still had an absolute advantage. There are still many variables in this battle, but that's good, I haven't met a decent opponent for a long time, and an invincible army is born in the collision with a powerful opponent.
