This discovery obviously gave Xia Jun a way out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, Bai Qi was also puzzled because of this: Why did the Xinghua army bury mines around here, but they only did not bury mines on the official road?

Bai Qi subconsciously became suspicious, but this instinctive reaction was quickly dispersed - the soldiers who reported were still waiting for him to give orders, and the Xia army was also waiting for his deployment.

What's more, Bai Qi himself felt that there was finally a clear way for them to get Xia Jun out of the predicament of having no way out just now.

Only this moment of neglect made Bai Qi, who was originally puzzled, abandon this layer of suspicion, and decided that since there is already a safe road to go, there is no need to waste time thinking about it, and he thinks that if there is a road anyway, go first, and it is better to investigate carefully than to stalemate in front of him.

Therefore, Bai Qi immediately made a decision and directly dispatched a force of 3,000 people to attack along the official road, one is to detect mines, and the other is to test the attack to find the firepower of the Xinghua army.

On the other hand, Bai Qi also sent soldiers to try to use various detonation methods to carefully clear the mines.

In this slow and cautious march, the Xia army approached the walls of Tai'an more and more.

At this time, on the wall of Tai'an City, there was already a fully armed Xinghua army, waiting for the "great arrival" of the Xia army.

When Bai Qi's army was slowly approaching Tai'an City, still paying attention all the way to check whether there was another minefield buried under his feet, the officers of the Xinghua Army had already set their eyes on the Xia army that was gradually approaching.

It's just that, in order to invite you into the urn, the officers of the Xinghua Army still specially ordered the Xinghua Army to tighten their firepower, and for the time being, they waited until the soldiers of the Xia Army put a distance of fifty meters, and then ordered the Xinghua soldiers who had already hidden on the city wall and aimed at the Xia Army, and opened fire in unison!

However, in view of the fact that in this first round of attacks, the Xia army was not a large number, and it was only a forward army of about 3,000 soldiers, so the Xinghua army did not use big guys to deal with it, and did not use heavy machine guns. But even so, under a round of continuous strafing, the soldiers of the 3,000 Xia Army also lost most of their personnel!

As a result, the 3,000 forward army of the Xia army had to retreat before they could attack.

The vanguard was defeated, and the momentum of the Xia army was frustrated, and the purpose of striking at the Xia army's sharp spirit was achieved, so when the Xia army's 3,000 vanguard troops retreated, the Xinghua army still let the Xia army take away the wounded soldiers.

Moreover, for the Xinghua Army, if the Xia Army has wounded soldiers, it will only drag down the Xia Army and cause a burden to the Xia Army.

As for the Xia army, the first wave of siege ended up with no results and more than half of the losses. But even so, Bai Qi was not discouraged, after all, he did not expect that these 3,000 or so vanguard troops would be able to capture Tai'an City in one fell swoop.

What's more, Bai Qi personally commanded 100,000 elite troops of the Xia army to attack Tai'an City this time, and the loss of 2,000 people naturally could not be regarded as hurting the main force of the Xia army.

Of course, this account also has to be counted on the head of the Xinghua Army.

"The order went down, and the Shenwu small cannon attacked, and the target was the gate tower of Tai'an City, as well as the surrounding city walls, and continued to bombard. I want the soldiers of the Xinghua Army, and I don't dare to take the lead. Bai Qi said.

As long as the Xinghua soldiers do not take the lead, they will not be able to aim, and naturally they will not be able to attack the Xia army, so the Shenwu small cannon can cover the attacking Xia soldiers, and at the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of the Xia army being attacked when attacking.

During Bai Qi's time in Yangcheng, he focused on ordering his subordinates to strengthen the training of the Xia army soldiers, and the strict requirements were not in vain, and the expected results had been shown at this moment.

I saw that with Bai Qi's order, the generals of the Xia Army in the Shenwu small artillery position quickly conveyed Bai Qi's order, so that the Xia soldiers in the Shenwu small artillery camp quickly completed the formation, and they could open artillery to attack the Xinghua Army at any time!

Everything was ready, and the general of the Xia Army of the Shenwu Small Artillery Battalion could only be heard adding: "After the first round of artillery fire, we must quickly change positions, so as not to follow the enemy's shells." ”

What the Xia generals said was to prevent the Xinghua army from using mortars to counterattack when they attacked.

The soldiers of the Xia Army of the Shenwu Small Artillery Battalion received the order and quickly launched an attack!

Bang! bang......

For a time, more than 50 Shenwu small cannons that had already been deployed fired thunderbolts at the gate of Tai'an City closely and in turn, and a salvo of 100 cannons brought a deafening explosion, and even shook the ground to produce a strong sense of shock, making people intuitively shake and panic. The flames and smoke erupted from various places in Taean Castle where they had been hit.

"We hit the houses of Taean!"

"Good, change positions. ”

When the general of the Shenwu small cannon heard the battle report from the front, his face suddenly showed excitement, and he immediately ordered the artillery to move the Shenwu small cannon quickly. They have completed the first round of tasks, and the next step must be to guard against the counterattack of the Xinghua army.

After all, the Xia army has already experienced several battles with the Xinghua army, and naturally knows the power of the Xinghua army's artillery, and they have no doubt that the artillery of the Xinghua army can quickly and accurately judge the location of the Shenwu small artillery position according to the attack trajectory of the Shenwu small artillery, so as to closely pursue and counterattack, therefore, the generals of the Xia army will naturally not take it lightly.

With an order, the Xia army's Shenwu small artillery quickly moved its position!

Sure enough, what they expected was true! In less than five minutes, the mortars of the Xinghua Army launched a counterattack against them.

Seeing this, many generals of the Xia Army, although the two armies were facing each other in front and could not grow the enemy's morale, they still couldn't help but feel deeply alarmed by the strength of the Xinghua Army.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Xia Army of the Shenwu Small Artillery Battalion felt lucky because of their timely retreat. Because, in such a short period of time, I saw that the artillery of the Xinghua Army had poured at least 200 shells on the position where they had originally arranged the Shenwu small artillery! In an instant, I saw huge artillery craters one after another appearing on the flat ground, which made people feel shocked to see it!

Seeing this, Bai Qi did not dare to underestimate the power of the mortar of the Xinghua Army, and for the sake of prudence, he immediately ordered the battalion of the Chinese Army to move back another 500 meters to make sure that everything was in order, because Bai Qi was worried that the shells of the Xinghua Army would fall on top of his head.

The enemy's artillery shells were fired in front, and Bai Qi's army was forced to retreat quickly, although the strength of the army was not damaged, but it was also difficult to protect the morale of the Xia army.

However, Bai Qi is not a mediocre talent, so he naturally understands that he cannot ignore the impact of this slight retreat on the morale of the army. Therefore, in order to protect morale, the whole army was ordered to retreat 500 meters to avoid the enemy's counterattack only a moment ago, and then the whole army was ordered to attack again and start a second battle!

Moreover, this time, the Xia army dispatched 20,000 troops, and mobilized a combination of multiple arms, carrying siege weapons, to attack Tai'an City again.

When 20,000 Xia soldiers marched forward bravely and rushed to the gate of Tai'an City, something finally happened.

The official road was too small, there were too many 20,000 Xia soldiers, and a large number of Xia soldiers were crowded on the official road, forming a long snake formation. The long snake array attacked the city, and the effect was not great. The generals of the Xia Army, who accompanied the army, began to try to lead the army away from the official road and spread out on both sides.

The closer you get to Taean City, the more mines there are.

Boom!boom......

The attempts of dozens of teams of Xia soldiers were brutally rewarded by the mines.

Xia Jun was stunned!

At this time, the officers of the Xinghua Army ordered the heavy machine guns to open fire!

Bang bang bang......

A fierce and powerful heavy machine gun, quickly swinging bullet casings and firing warheads.

Puff puff......

Blood holes constantly appeared on the bodies of the Xia soldiers, spraying blood.

The soldiers of the Xia Army crowded on the official road were living machine gun targets. Moreover, the machine gunners of the Xinghua Army can harvest a large number of lives without aiming at all.

The fierce offensive of the Xinghua army completely interrupted the siege posture of the Xia army!

The 20,000 soldiers of the Xia Army were a little unable to advance or retreat. In this case, the Xia soldiers in front wanted to retreat, and the Xia soldiers in the back wanted to advance, and the Xia soldiers in the two parts impacted each other, and there was even a stampede.

Then, the Shenwu small artillery battalion of the Xia army joined the siege force and fired artillery to suppress the Xinghua army's defending troops.

It is a pity that the ordinary soldiers of the Xinghua Army were suppressed, but the heavy machine guns were not easily suppressed. In order to defend the city, the Xinghua army specially built a heavy machine gun fortress. Unless the Shenwu cannon directly hits the heavy machine gun fortress, the explosion of ordinary thunderbolts does not pose much threat to the heavy machine gun.

Soon, after several attacks by the Shenwu small cannon, it had to stop.

The mortars of the Xinghua Army also fired.

This time, the main target of the Mortars of the Xinghua Army was not the Shenwu small artillery position. Only a few mortars fired back at the Shenwu small artillery position, and most of the mortar shells fell on the Xia army's attacking troops outside Tai'an City.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Xia army was again hit hard.

Seeing this in the rear, Bai Qi could no longer be calm, so he had to sing Jin and order the Xia army to stop the attack and retreat.

The Xinghua Army did not stop attacking because of the retreat of the Xia Army, but seized the opportunity to constantly attack the living forces of the Xia Army and weaken the Xia Army.

In less than an hour, the whole battle stopped.

After a while, more than a dozen Xia soldiers came over and asked the Xinghua army to collect the soldiers' corpses.

Leon got the soldier's report, thought about it, and agreed to Xia Jun's request.

At this time, the generals of the Xia army need a benevolent evaluation, and the Xinghua army also needs a good reputation. Leon's idea was that when the Xia soldiers surrendered in the future, they would be able to resist a little less.

The second wave of fighting ended, and the Xia army suspended the attack.

The Xinghua Army stood still and watched carefully.

After a while, Bai Qi, the marshal of the Xia army, ordered the middle and senior professionals in the army to try to clear the mine array in front of the east gate of Tai'an City.

After several explorations, Xia Jun also found an effective way to clear the mines.

Senior professionals deserve to be senior professionals, and their way to clear mines is to send ordinary soldiers to look for mines. When a mine is found, a flag is planted on the ground. Then, the senior professional, using ordinary stones, uses Yuan Force to throw them out and detonate the mine.

After many successive mine-sweeping operations, the mines on the east side of the gate actually allowed them to clear more than 200 mines.

However, Xinghua soldiers are not ornaments. When the Xia army's minesweeping team was getting closer and closer to Tai'an City, when they were a hundred meters away, Xinghua snipers opened fire. Shooting specifically at ordinary soldiers who were detecting mines.

The Xia soldiers were fired at at the spot, and the minesweeper had to be slowed down.

Xia Jun thought of another way, that is, to drive the beasts and animals, cooperate with the command of the soldiers, and run back and forth to the periphery of Tai'an City.

After a while, a lot of mines were cleared.

The headquarters of the Xinghua Army in Tai'an City, Leon did not care that the mines outside the city were cleared by the Xia army. Because the Xinghua Army does not rely on mines to stop enemy troops, mines are only one of the weapons that cause casualties to the enemy.

"Where is the location of Wei Yingcai's department?" Leon looked at the map of Jiangzhou and asked the adjutant.

The adjutant immediately took what he had learned, he stuck a small nail in the map and reported to Leon.

"Wei Yingcai's department has arrived at the predetermined location. ”

"Very good, Wei Yingcai's MLRS are the key to our victory this time. ”

The multiple rocket launchers of Wei Yingcai's department were heavy weapons specially transported by the Xinghua Army from Jianguan.

Lyon is confident in MLRS, a powerful ground weapon that is enough to destroy enemy forces in an area. Therefore, what the Xinghua Army needed was the detailed location of the enemy's main forces. Moreover, the Xinghua Army also tried to find a way to concentrate the troops of the Xia Army in one place as much as possible.

It's just that Bai Qi, the marshal of the Xia Army, still remembers the defeat of Huguan. Therefore, the layout of the Xia Army's barracks is scattered and no longer close together. Although the large battalion in this way was vulnerable to surprise attacks by the enemy's cavalry, it was able to avoid the bombardment of the Xinghua army to the greatest extent. Bai Qi knew that the number of cavalry of the Xinghua Army was not large, and the cavalry of the Xia Army was stronger than the Xinghua Army, so he arranged this kind of camp specifically to prevent the shelling of the Xinghua Army.

Lyon, they used a wireless helicopter to shoot at high altitudes, and they knew the layout of the Xia Army's barracks early in the morning.

Now, one of the battle plans of the Xinghua army was to induce the Xia army to concentrate its troops and attack the city of Tai'an. As long as the Xia army concentrates its forces on the city of Tai'an, they will gather together. At that time, Wei Yingcai's troops first bombed with multiple rocket launchers, and then sent a large army to attack the Xia army, so that they could take advantage of the situation to defeat the Xia army. Of course, it would be even more perfect if the Xinghua Army could find Bai Qi, the commander of the Xia Army, and blow him up by the way. Without Bai Qi, the Xinghua Army will definitely be able to conquer Yangcheng more smoothly.

"Next, the enemy's attack will definitely be fierce! If the second layer of defense cannot be held, you can set up a defense line in the streets of Tai'an City. It can give the Xia army the wrong information and make them think that Tai'an City is about to be breached. However, the enemy must not be allowed to enter the streets of the main city. We can't let the main force of the Xia army enter the city of Tai'an......" Leon kept recounting, giving orders to the troops, and the adjutant was in charge of recording and passing orders.

The overall number of troops of the Xinghua army in Jiangzhou was not as large as that of the Xia army, so the Lyon division of the Xinghua army and the Wei Yingcai department had to cooperate closely in order to defeat the Xia army.
