Chapter 723: Strategy
The Roman warrior, in the Roman Empire, was a special profession that was no less powerful than the swordsman profession. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of professional has extremely strong combat effectiveness, and in team combat, this kind of professional also has an indispensable special ability - courage skills that are different from ordinary people.
In every war, in addition to tactics, military strength, and weaponry, morale is the most crucial factor in determining the outcome of a war. And the Roman warriors are fierce melee warriors who are not afraid of death, even if the enemy is close at hand, and the long knife is in front of them, they can turn a blind eye to the enemy, this powerful courage, and even allow them to exert a nearly high-level combat effectiveness, and maintain it for a long time.
For example, a Level 3 warrior can exert the combat power of a Level 4 warrior if he uses the Courage skill. They are fearless of death, and in turn, their bravery and strength bring endless fear to their enemies. The enemy army was frightened, and naturally they were defeated without a fight, thus allowing the Roman army to win a thousand miles.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Roman Empire was able to dominate the otherworldly sky continent for many years, and the Roman warriors should take a credit.
Tonight, relying on the cover of this thick night, the Roman soldiers took advantage of the attack, rushed into the fortress of the Hualou base, and strangled the soldiers of the Xinghua Army one by one.
Fortunately, the Hualou base sent an emergency team in time, and this time, the Roman warriors could be regarded as meeting a strong opponent!
The dispatch of the emergency team has successfully restrained this kind of high-level combat professionals, and the heavy sniper rifles of the emergency team of the Xinghua Army are the nemesis of the Roman warriors! No matter how brave and invincible the Roman soldiers are, as long as the heavy sniper rifle fires an armor-piercing bullet, it is enough to instantly penetrate the solid iron armor worn by the Roman soldiers, and hit their bodies, instantly unloading the combat effectiveness of the Roman soldiers.
What's more, the emergency team doesn't just have a heavy sniper rifle. What role can the two sniper rifles play in this battle? They can take the lives of ten Roman soldiers in one minute! Not only that, but these two sniper rifles also have a more important role, that is, they have won time to react to the Xinghua defenders at the Hualou base, so that they will not be in a passive state all the time in the face of the fierce attack of the Roman soldiers.
Of course, the soldiers of the Xinghua Army on the defense line of the Hualou base are not muddy things. In addition to the heavy sniper rifles of the emergency team, the guns in the hands of the Xinghua soldiers were also powerful weapons, including grenades, which were a threat to the Roman warriors that could not be ignored.
At first, the Xinghua soldiers, who were not accustomed to night fighting, reacted relatively slowly, giving the Roman warriors the opportunity to attack. However, the presence of the emergency team played a key role in stopping the further offensive of the Roman warriors and exposing them, reversing the passive state of the Xinghua soldiers and allowing them to find the target more accurately.
At the same time, taking advantage of the gap between the emergency team of the Xinghua Army to contain the Roman soldiers, the Xinghua soldiers lit a fire at several key positions in the Hualou base, illuminating almost half of the hillside. At this time, a large number of soldiers of the Roman legions could no longer take advantage of the darkness of the night to attack.
In the end, the Roman legion's attempt to launch the first attack of the night under the cover of the Roman warriors was broken up by the Xinghua emergency team, and the attacking Romans were also repulsed.
However, after the Roman legions were repulsed, the emergency team did not return to the base as a result. In order to prevent the Romans from retreating and returning, Zhao Bai issued a new order to the emergency team, ordering them to take turns to guard the high ground and increase vigilance.
The Roman warriors did not succeed, and Lucius really couldn't swallow this breath, let alone the Grand Prince Octavian!
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lucius appeared in front of the Roman legions. Not only that, but this time even the Grand Prince Octavian himself went into battle, and he sat behind the formation with a serious face, pressing the Roman legions.
This time, the Roman legions prepared more and bigger situations, more guns and arrows, more fierce attacks, and more importantly, the Grand Prince Octavian, and even his crystal spear troops, also came in handy!
Obviously, this is going to be a powerful attack.
In fact, it's a lineup that's bound to happen. When he learned that even the brave and warlike Roman warriors could not help the Hualou base, Octavian could no longer tolerate half a cent! The dignified Roman Empire's army wanted to attack a mere Hualou base, which should have been an easy matter, but he didn't want to, he couldn't attack for a long time, and the whole campaign was still in the hands of the Xinghua army, wouldn't this make the Roman Empire a laughing stock for others!
Therefore, the Grand Prince Octavian and Lucius discussed, no matter what, this time to increase the intensity of the attack, be sure to capture the Hualou base on the hill in one fell swoop, and cause major damage to the Hualou base.
This battle will be very brutal. Octavian and Lucius already regarded the Hualou base as a thorn in their side, and the Xinghua army on the Hualou base was even more of a big trouble for them. In addition to continuing to attack the Hualou base, trying to cut through the chaos quickly, and solving the influence of the Hualou base as quickly as possible, they also had a tactic, that is, to make full use of the military advantages of the Roman legions and divide their troops to attack Anhua City.
Because of the defeat of the Roman warriors, Octavian changed his strategy, changing the original strategy of attacking the Hualou base to containing the Hualou base. At the same time, the Roman legions will also send some legions to Anhua City. In Octavian's view, the city of Anhua was always his ultimate goal, and although the Hualou base could not be attacked several times, Octavian could not mess up the overall situation because of this. So, since you can't go around the Hualou base directly from the road next to the hill, change to a farther route and run to Anhua City. As long as they succeed in attacking Anhua City, the Hualou base will naturally be no problem.
After the efforts of the Roman scout knights, they found a mountain path. This mountain road is not suitable for cavalry, but it is suitable for infantry.
Octavian and Lucius chose the mountain route, sending two thousand Roman infantry and a team of 100 craftsmen. This team of 100 craftsmen arrived around Anhua City and was to be responsible for building trebuchets. At that time, the Roman legions will try to see if a hundred trebuchets can force Anhua to surrender. It would be great if a hundred trebuchets could break the walls of Anhua and the Roman cavalry would storm into Anwar. If Anhua City surrenders, it will be even better, and there will definitely be no need for the Hualou base to continue to hold on. These were the expectations of high-ranking Roman generals such as Octavian and Lucius.
On the wall of the outer city of Anhua City, Wei Siming stood on the city tower, looking at the Roman cavalry circling in the outer city, and smiled slightly. These Roman cavalrymen, no matter how famous they were, were helpless against the tall and impregnable walls. For this war, Anhua City is well prepared. The food in the city is enough to ensure that the residents of Anhua City can eat for half a year.
Not only that, but after the Roman cavalry approached Anhua City at one time and were killed by several knights by the snipers of Anhua City, they did not even have the guts to connect to a range of 50 meters from Anhua City.
Therefore, Wei Siming really had no fear at all in the face of the Roman cavalry outside.
"Wu Duocai, thank you for your hard work. Wei Siming expressed his gratitude to the generals of the defenders on the city wall.
"Wei Cheng is a good man, and Anhua City is the city of our empire. Defending the country and protecting the people is also the duty of our Xinghua Army. Wu Duocai replied with a smile. Wu Duocai is the garrison officer of Anhua City of the Xinghua Army, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. In Anhua City, he has the highest military rank and is in charge of the garrison of Anhua City.
"If you need any help, the castle guard will do everything it can. Wei Siming said.
Wu Duocai said: "Wei Chengshou, I am more worried about the security in the city. In any case, there must be no chaos in the city. ”
Wei Siming looked at Wu Duocai and promised: "I guarantee that there will be no chaos in the city! I think no one will dare to make chaos under the situation of military control." In order to ensure the stability of Anhua City, Wei Siming arranged city guards in every street. As long as there is any chaos, the city guards must quell the chaos as soon as possible.
Wei Siming said and glanced at him. Next to Wei Siming is the folk representative of Anhua City. They are Anwar residents, Lou Lan refugees, trade caravans, imperial chambers of commerce, and so on. Wei Siming brought them to the castle tower to strengthen their confidence in the defense of Anhua City, and at the same time, to deter some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. Among them, Wei Siming values two people the most, namely the big businessman Jamaiti and the branch president of the Xinghua Imperial Chamber of Commerce, Han Maitian.
The reason why these two are valued by Wei Siming is their identity and power.
Jamaiti, a large merchant, controlled a certain share of the trade between things and things, and had a certain amount of force to protect his goods. Han Maitian, the branch president of the Xinghua Imperial Chamber of Commerce, is the local Chamber of Commerce of the empire, and he also has a certain amount of armed guards.
The former is the object of Wei Siming's defense, and the latter is the object of Wei Siming's struggle. Of course, Wei Siming hopes that the chamber of commerce in Han Maitian can restrain the caravan in Jamaiti.
"Lord Wei, I, Jamaiti, promise to cooperate with the government and ensure public order and stability. If anyone dares to do something, I, Jamaiti, will not let him have a good time. Jamat took the initiative.
"Lord Castle Guard, rest assured, I, the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, will cooperate to maintain the law and order of Anhua City. If necessary, the guards of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce can participate in the defense of the city. Han Maitian said.
Wei Siming nodded and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, the prosperity and stability of Anhua City are indispensable for everyone's support." ”
In the city tower, everyone hurriedly echoed Wei Siming's words.
Wu Duocai looked at everyone's performance, smiled slightly, and was very happy in his heart. Although Anhua City is far from the empire itself, Wu Duocai believes that as long as there is no civil strife in Anhua City, the empire will eventually win.
"Report, the enemy has once again entered the firing range of our snipers. ”
At this time, a Xinghua soldier reported to Wu Duocai.
When Wu Duocai heard this, he turned to Wei Siming and smiled: "The Roman cavalry does not know whether they are alive or dead, and they have entered the shooting range of our army, please appreciate the end of several Roman cavalry." ”
Receiving Wu Duocai's order, the soldiers immediately gave the order to attack the enemy.
Bang! Bang!
Three guns, the Roman cavalry in the distance, three cavalrymen fell from their horses, causing the whole team to be in disarray, and after a while, they rode away from the city of Anwar.
In the tower, everyone was amazed to see the Roman cavalry die so easily.
"The Xinghua Army is mighty! Anhua City is mighty!" Wei Siming couldn't help but shout.
"The Xinghua Army is mighty! Anhua City is mighty!" everyone couldn't help but shout enthusiastically. The stronger the city is, the more powerful the army, and the safer they will be if they live in the city.
The garrison of Anhua City has changed from being frightening and not dangerous to being fearless. The Roman legions faced the city of Anhua without siege equipment, and there was nothing they could do. Of course, Wei Siming and Wu Duocai did not know that the Roman legions were preparing to send a group of craftsmen who made trebuchets over. They have nothing to worry about.
In the dense forest and mountainous area near the Hualou base, there is also a Xinghua army hidden. This Xinghua army is an independent regiment led by Yan Zhenhua and Wu Zhendong.
The Roman army was not secretive, and they were strong in their own force, and when they avoided the Hualou base, they escorted the artisan team with great fanfare. It's just that before they entered the mountain, they were discovered by Yan Zhenhua and Wu Zhendong. Coincidentally, the independent regiment was also hidden in the mountains. The two began to discuss whether to ambush the Romans.
"These are the craftsmen of the Romans, who are going to Anhua to make siege equipment. Wu Zhendong exclaimed.
"Shall we do it? If we do it, it will definitely expose our existence. Yan Zhenhua said.
"Let's do it, we can't watch the Romans endanger Anhua. Wu Zhendong suggested.
"Okay, I'll ask my superiors for instructions. If there is no problem, let's divide it again. Yan Zhenhua nodded and said.
Yan Zhenhua immediately sent a telegram and quickly asked the headquarters of the Hualou base for instructions.
In less than five minutes, the Hualou base replied and agreed to the battle plan of the independent regiment.
"It seems that the Hualou base is also more difficult. Yan Zhenhua read the telegram and said.
"How do you know?" Wu Zhendong asked curiously.
"It's not easy. According to the original plan, we need to lurk and play a key role. Now, I'm afraid that the Hualou base can't take care of Anhua City, and wants us to respond. At the same time, we do it, and their pressure will be reduced a lot. Yan Zhenhua said.
"What you said is all speculation, right?" Wu Zhendong didn't quite believe Yan Zhenhua's words.
Yan Zhenhua laughed and said, "Of course I'm guessing, what do you think?"
Wu Zhendong felt that he was being slapped by Yan Zhenhua, and he was slightly angry in his heart.
Seeing this, Yan Zhenhua laughed again and said, "Zhendong, just kidding, don't be angry." ”
Wu Zhendong's anger slowly subsided, and he asked, "What are your plans?"
"I take the main force and am responsible for ambushing them, and you take a company and defend the two ends. If an enemy comes in, you are responsible for intercepting them and creating an opportunity for me. Yan Zhenhua said.
Wu Zhendong thought about it and nodded in agreement. He knew that Yan Zhenhua must have selfish intentions, so he didn't let him participate in the ambush. However, Wu Zhendong is the deputy and Yan Zhenhua is the head of the regiment, so there is no need for him to argue about anything.
Yan Zhenhua saw Wu Zhendong nodding, smiled slightly, and continued: "This is the first battle of the Independent Regiment, and we must make our name. ”
Wu Zhendong nodded and immediately went to gather the troops. (To be continued.) )
