Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 98 Yinchuan offense and defense

When the Heathrows began to gather in the south of Nuremberg, Jin Zecheng and Zeppelin had already estimated that the Heathrowers might take advantage of the opportunity of the Northwest Army and the Motts to join forces to invade the west. After the two discussed, they sent a notification to Fielding and quickly made emergency adjustments to the defense of the entire Yinchuan.

The light cavalry regiments of the two regiments were quietly drawn out and sneaked into the territory of the Mote people in the west, while the defensive infantry of Ganlan Fortress increased to five regiments, and the No. The Second Guards Division was divided into two divisions. Three regiments were stationed in Yinchuan Fucheng, which could reinforce Ganlan Fortress at any time. Two regiments marched into Qingyang to ensure the safety of the capital.

The attacks of the Sisrows came unexpectedly violently and swiftly. The defenses in the Ganlan Fortress had just been adjusted, and even before Jin Zecheng had time to return to Yinchuan, the 100,000 troops of the Sisrows had already approached the city. , and is still increasing. When Jin Ze was established, he realized the seriousness of the situation. This time, the Xisluo people were not just trying to stir up trouble. Judging from the current posture, they clearly wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Yinchuan. At least take Ganlan.

Jin Zecheng was not worried about Ganlan being besieged. Qi Bolin was still in Yinchuan, and the two had already discussed that no matter who wins Ganlan, the other will automatically take on the important task of coordinating the entire Yinchuan. Leading the infantry regiment of these two Gaoyue people to help defend Ganlan, and Ganlan's defense facilities have been far from what they used to be in the past two years. With the support of the Combat Preparedness Administration and the Science and Technology Department, many advanced defense equipment have also been prioritized here as a test base. All these made Jin Zecheng full of confidence, and the Gaoyue infantry of the two regiments also made Jin Zecheng very satisfied. He had heard about the combat effectiveness of the Gaoyue people for a long time, although he admitted that the Gaoyue soldiers had a certain advantage in position defense, But in terms of relying on the defense of Jiancheng, he didn't think that Gao Yue's fighters were better than the elite brought out by his own gang. He really wanted to use this battle to prove this point.

As a military power second only to Kaman among the Liberian countries, the Xisluo people should not be underestimated. The various siege weapons that came with the army are enough to open the eyes of Jin Zecheng and Gao Ang . The Vulcan Cannon, a long-range strike weapon, was used in actual combat for the first time in the Eastern Continent. The tank filled with black oil was equipped with a windproof and delayed fire trigger, and was fired by a spring-loaded crossbow, which immediately turned Ganlan Fortress into a battleground. A sea of ​​flames, if it wasn't for Jin Zecheng's precautionary measures, he had prepared a lot of mud and sand for extinguishing the fire, and he was afraid that he would be killed by Sithrow on the city wall on the first day. Under the attack, the defenders of Ganlan Fortress still paid a heavy price.

The large nest cart also fully demonstrated its power. It is different from ordinary mobile arrow towers. In addition to the crossbow room and fighting room wrapped in rawhide leather on each floor, there are also movable wheels installed on the side of the nest cart. To climb the city hook ladder, you only need to get close to the city wall, put the city climbing hook ladder on the battlements, and the soldiers in charge of the attack can swarm out from the rooms on each floor of the nest car, relying on the cover of the archers in the crossbow room, and go straight to the top of the city to attack , very powerful. As for other traditional siege weapons, such as ramming cars, arrow towers, and movable ladders, it is not surprising.

As the shouts sounded again, Jin Zecheng knew that another attack from the Sisrows was launched again. Heathrow soldiers, like locusts, dressed in purple-black armor, pushed heavy nest carts, crash carts, and mobile arrow towers, slowly advancing towards the city wall, and behind them were a large number of pushing activities The soldiers on the ladder kept flying up and down from the positions of both sides one after another, and the dense rain of arrows also began to shoot at each other. The screams of countless blood and limbs announced the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle.

The nest carts and arrow towers that enter the strike range are the first targets of the defender's attack, and they are particularly threatening to the defender. The soldiers manipulating the catapults on the top of the city constantly adjusted their orientation according to the calculated coordinates provided by the observation posts. Stones the size of millstones flew into the sky with whistling noises, heading straight for the slow-moving nest carts and arrow towers. . Once hit by stone bullets, although they are made of extremely hard pear wood or iron wood, under the impact of the stones with huge inertia, ordinary nest carts and arrow towers can only withstand five or six. The first bombardment collapsed, and the soldiers continued to fall from the broken nest carts and arrow towers, and the mottled loess splashed yellow dust.

The attacking side's catapults were also not to be outdone. Wave after wave of stone rain came to the top of the city. Shields were not enough to resist the call from the Palace of Hades. The huge stones were enough to kill one or even two Two soldiers easily smashed their shields into meatloaf. The surviving arrow towers and nest carts gradually approached the city wall, and the crossbowmen hiding in the crossbow room also began to draw their bows and set their arrows. Taking advantage of the height advantage, they blew up a rain of arrows and poured them on the northwest soldiers on the top of the city. The sharp arrows kept breaking through the cover of the shields and battlements, making a muffled puffing sound, which was the unique sound of arrowheads piercing through soldiers' bodies. The blood slowly flowed down the undulating city wall, and soon formed streams under the city head.

When the huge crashing vehicle slowly advanced to a distance not far from the city wall, it began to accelerate. The huge impact force made the entire city wall seem to be shaking, and the solid iron-clad city gate was the same under the continuous impact of the crashing vehicle. It looked extremely fragile. If it wasn't for the fact that the city gate had already been blocked with boulders, the gate would have collapsed and turned into ruins at most three or five times.

Gao Gao calmly commanded the soldiers to enter the combat positions in an orderly manner. After experiencing countless wars, this army has been able to deal with any difficulties and obstacles without retreating, whether it is the Taiping Rebellion or the northern invaders. The turbulent Heathrow soldiers are also battle-tested veterans, and they are not intimidated by the rain of flying stones and arrows. The officers who took the lead carried their shields and raised their knives. A wave of soldiers swept in.

Numerous ladders were pushed up in an instant and put on the wall stack. The agile ape-like soldiers held knives in their mouths and shields on their heads, and quickly climbed up the stairs along the stairs. Immediately launched a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat. The nest car also arrived at the best attack position at the same time. With the ear-piercing creaking sound, the huge wheel turned, and the ladder for climbing the wall slowly fell and directly landed on the top of the wall. The soldiers hiding in the battle room He rushed out along the hook ladder, and under the cover of the crossbowman at the top, brandished a sharp knife and a strong shield, and rushed straight to the city.

At this time, the city has become a cheap slaughterhouse, with broken limbs scattered everywhere mixed with a strong smell of blood, and colorful viscera can be seen everywhere, such a tragic scene is even more exciting in this area. The soldiers on both sides fighting fiercely on the top of the city, this is a life-and-death struggle without compromise, the winning side can unconditionally deprive the other side of its life, it depends on who can persist until the end.

Gao Ang stood at the back of the city tower and watched all this numbly. This tragic scene could no longer arouse any interest in him. The same picture scroll would appear several times in a day, and even the freshest people would be interested in it. So I lost interest, not to mention that Gao Ang had long been used to it. Although the scene was hot, it did not exceed expectations. Looking at the reserve team behind who were eager to try, Gao Gao ignored them. Now is not the time to use this force. As time goes by, the subsequent battles will become more and more dangerous day by day. Save The necessary vitality is something that a commander must consider.

"Brother Gao, how is the situation?" A gentle voice came from behind, and Gao Ang knew it was the voice of Commander-in-Chief Jin Zecheng without turning his head. They had cooperated in this battle for three days, and it was an intense battle Let them quickly forget some of the original episodes, integrate into the combat group as a whole, and work together to deal with this battle that concerns everyone's life and death.

"Oh, there is no problem at present. Brother Jin, although the Sithrows are attacking fiercely, our city defense facilities have been updated a lot. It must be difficult for the Sithrowers' spies to know about the changes in our city defenses. I have suffered a lot~IndoMTL.com~ I think it will be difficult for their spy chiefs to confess when they go back." Gao Ang showed a relaxed smile on his face, and his mood was not affected by the **** battlefield in front of him at all.

"Well, but it seems that the people of Sithrow have also put in some effort. The Vulcan cannon has extraordinary shots. Once we get down, our brother will lie down a lot, and this nest car , These are all new types of equipment that have not yet been used in our Eastern Continent.” Jin Zecheng looked dignified, he was not as optimistic as he was high, and the battle ahead was still very long, Master Li has already invested most of the main force in the Northwest into the Tengger Grassland In fact, even the main force of the Mott people has been used without reservation. It is obvious that they want to use this battle to eliminate the hidden dangers on the East Tengger Grassland. However, when this battle will end, Jin Zecheng dare not Arbitrary judgment, but at least in a short period of time it is unlikely, Yinchuan's defense can only rely on the joint efforts of himself and Taixuanfu to deal with it.

"Well, the Sithrows seem to take this opportunity to test their new equipment. But as long as we prepare properly, they can't take advantage of it. Offense and defense, defense, it always takes the lead , especially relying on strength to defend. It’s just that there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and we can’t afford to consume it like this.” Although Gao Gao is full of confidence, he also sees the weakness of his own side. The Ganlan Fortress was originally aimed at the Sith The fortress built by Luo people can be said to have condensed the essence of the Northwest defense system, whether it is in terms of the design and construction of the city walls, towers, and urns, or in terms of the layout of the crenels, battlements, and attack weapons on the top of the city. It is perfect, but the only disadvantage is that it is only an isolated fortress, not a city, and the consumption of troops cannot be replenished. If the siege continues for a long time, and the northwest side cannot provide support, the fortress will also be captured sooner or later. .
