In April 169 of the new calendar, the front line of Yongshan Kingdom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Dear big brother! Just let me save some heart! ”

Inside the field hospital, Haml said in front of Hart's hospital bed with a wrinkled plum-dried face.

"It's only been two months since the field hospital system was implemented, and you're here to experience life! Come on! You are the prince! It's the prince! Can you not be so desperate? My father sent me to command the Assad army to protect you! My dear big brother! ”

"I'm an ordinary soldier now, with the rank of sergeant." Hart turned around awkwardly, "And I've been transferred to the combat unit, and I'm obligated to fight with my comrades." ”

"Where are you 'transferred' to combat units? You're obviously threatening me with your life to transfer you over! Besides, even if you go into battle to kill the enemy, you have to have a sense of proportion, right? You're a musketeer, why do you always want to fight hand-to-hand? Come on! Eldest brother! I am the commander of the Assad Army! I'm in control! Trust me, okay? ”

Hart was wounded because Hamr deliberately betrayed a flaw when directing the battle to lure the main force of the Ira army to attack in order to annihilate the main force of the enemy. Hart thought that the situation was very unfavorable to him, so he used the status of the prince to take the lead in the charge, which greatly boosted the morale of the imperial army.

In the end, the battle was won, but Hameer's plan was thrown into disarray, and Hart was wounded in the battle. Hamel was so angry that he was about to explode, but he couldn't do anything with Hart. Because in the eyes of the soldiers, Hart was a hero of Bashar's army, and Hamr could not even say a word of cruelty.

Only mid- and high-ranking officers can understand Hammer's feelings, and Haml can ask them to tell the truth to the soldiers, but he can't drag Hart off the throne of heroes just to get angry, right? In any case, Hart was his eldest brother, and he had no ill will, he was a hero to help the Imperial Army win, and it was impossible for Hamel to do such a thing.

"Total! Whereas! Speech! It! ”

Hamel walked around to Hart, took the warrant officer rank from his bosom, and slapped it in front of Hart.

"From now on! You're an officer! is a warrant officer adjutant in the Assad military department! Where I am, you are! Do you understand, my dear big brother?! ”

Even if Hart made a great achievement, according to the rules of the Imperial Army, this warrant officer rank was only promoted in wartime. However, for Hart, the military rank or anything didn't matter, because after the war was over, he would have to go back to be the prince, and he might never have the opportunity to fight side by side with the soldiers again.

Hart also wanted to stay on the battlefield and fight alongside the soldiers. Hart's arrangement made Hart very unconvinced, but as Hamel said, he was the commander of Bashar's army, with the rank of lieutenant general on his chest, and Hart, as a sergeant, had to obey Hammer's orders.

In this way, after Hart recovered from his injury, he was transferred to Ham's side as an adjutant. In the eyes of the soldiers, Hart had just made a great achievement, and Hamel transferred him to his side, which easily made people feel that "Hamel did not want Hart to continue to make meritorious contributions". Although Hart is already the crown prince, outsiders don't know about it yet. In the eyes of most people, Hart and Hamel are in competition, and it is normal to suppress each other.

Haml had anticipated this outcome before he made this decision. The middle and high-ranking officers of Bashar's army were complaining about him, but Hamr strictly ordered them not to say superfluous things to the junior officers and soldiers. Ham's goal is only one, and that is to prevent Hart from being in danger again. He did this not only to protect the Crown Prince of the Empire, but also because Hart was his eldest brother, and he didn't want anything to happen to Hart.

On May 26 of the same year, the Assad army began to besiege Sangheijo, the capital of Yongsan State. Before the siege began, Hamr repeatedly warned Hart not to leave the headquarters.

"Big brother, you have to remember, you must remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave the command. Even if you hear the news that I died in battle, you have to stay in the command headquarters honestly and listen to the command of the deputy commander, this is an order! ”

As a commander, Haml didn't like to stay in the command and stare at the sandbox. He will personally inspect the battlefield to keep abreast of the latest battle situation. Before the start of the operation, if conditions permit, he would always personally survey the terrain of the preset battlefield and surrounding areas, and think of various contingency plans in advance. Because of this, Hamel was also injured while directing the battle.

However, Ham's level of Leiting magic is much stronger than Hart's, and he also knows how to do magic and makes himself a set of mediocre quality enchanted soft armor, so he has not been seriously injured in battle, and most of them have been shot or shot in the limbs. After the events of Hart's enlistment, Haml begged Leah to make Hart an enchanted suit of armor.

Leah did it for Hart, but Hart wouldn't wear it. He said that if ordinary soldiers could also wear enchanted armor, then he would fight in enchanted armor, otherwise he would definitely not engage in specialization. Hart's stubbornness was a major headache for Hamr, and he forced Hart to wear the enchanted armor after forcibly transferring him to his side.

This big brother is really angry......

With the roar of the artillery that attacked the city first, Hamr's mind returned to the battlefield. Sohei Castle is a large city with a population of more than one million, and its outer walls are twenty-two meters high, and six horse-drawn carriages can run side by side on the walls. Generally speaking, this kind of wall will be hollow with internal supports, or directly filled with sand to save materials and manpower. However, a large number of stone bricks were used inside the exterior walls of Sohei Castle, and a mixture of clay, sand, stone, and lime was poured between the stone bricks, making it extremely strong. The Imperial army attacked the city for three days, but failed to open a gap in the city walls.

It is said that Ashohei Castle was the strongest castle in the Ira Empire, and there was no one. According to legend, the city was a large fortress built when a war broke out between the Ira people and the Iraa yokai. At that time, the Ira people were defeated by the Ira Youkai, and they were defeated and retreated. In order to preserve the remnants of the race, Emperor Ira sent a capable man to preside over the construction of a large fortress that could accommodate millions of people and would never be breached by Ira Yokai.

The Ira people spent a great deal of money to build the fortress, but it didn't work at all, because the war was over. Emperor Ira wanted to move the capital from Ding'an Castle here, but in the end he was unable to achieve his goal. Later, the fortress was given to a prince who was the first king of Yongshan and the ancestor of the kings of Yongshan in all generations.

Solid bullets don't work...... High-explosive shells are not good either......

Looking at the uneven walls that had been bombarded by the first attacker, Haml was very depressed. He would love to use shrapnel to kill all the defenders on the city walls, but shrapnel is not as accurate, and shrapnel will definitely crash into the city, injuring innocent civilians. He felt that the Imperial Army needed more powerful artillery, but when he thought about it, the new world seemed to be such a difficult bone to gnaw, as long as Xiangpei Castle was captured, there would be no city wall that the Imperial Army could not blow, and there was no need to design new artillery for a Xiangping Castle.

The gates have been smashed...... But the gates of Sohei Castle were too narrow for even a squadron to spread...... The most terrible thing is the design of the urn city, and it must pay a great price to enter through the city gate......

Sohei Castle is a regular hexagonal structure with six gates, exactly one on each side. Each gate was low and narrow, barely allowing two carriages to pass side by side. Behind the gate was an urn city, which was a terrible design for siege. As long as the besiegers can't take the city walls, they can only attack from the direction of the city gates. Once they break through the gates, they are enclosed in an area of less than 6,000 square meters by a wall more than 12 meters high, and the defenders on the wall can use long-range weapons to attack the enemy from multiple directions, while the attackers can only continue to attack from multiple directions.

Therefore, in general, the troops attacking Aihei Castle will give priority to capturing the castle walls. While capturing a 22-meter-high wall is no easy task, it is much easier than attacking a gate. However, so far, Xiangping Castle has not been breached, so this tactic is not necessarily correct.

When the intelligence officers of the Inspectorate provided information to Hamr about the castle, they repeatedly advised Hamm not to touch the castle first, because the castle was too strong for even the Imperial army, which was equipped with artillery to attack the castle first, would be difficult to capture it. But Hamel does not believe in evil, and he has to meet this peaceful city.

It seems that we can only try digging tunnels first.

Haml felt that the defenders would be prepared, but they always had to try. On May 30, the artillery bombardment of Assad's army did not stop, and it assumed a posture of not giving up until the walls were blown up. In reality, however, they used the shelling as a cover to dig tunnels in the opposite direction of the shelled positions.

The tunnel is about 3 kilometers long, more than two meters in diameter, and is located 1.5 meters below the surface, which is a lot of work. Even though there were artillery units to attract the attention of the enemy, and the Assad army placed a large number of tents at the location of the construction site to prevent the enemy from observing their movements, the actions of the Assad army were still discovered by the Ira army.

On the evening of June 6, intelligence officers from the Inspectorate who were ambushed at Sohei Castle sent carrier pigeons, suggesting that the Ira Army had discovered that the Assad Army was digging tunnels. The intelligence source said that the Ira army had set up an ambush in the city, hoping that the Assad army would stop the operation. By the time Hamel learned of this, it was June 8.

Yes...... Failed again.

Hamel was a little depressed, he rode his horse and circled around the castle without finding a single flaw. Just as he was about to make up his mind to build a siege tower and take the city walls at all costs, a group of unknown birds pecking at the ground caught Hameer's attention.

What kind of bird is that?

Harm's subconscious drove the horse over to look, and the birds, hearing the sound of the horses' hooves, immediately took off into the air, flew to a safe place and landed, and then continued to peck on the ground.

Yes...... If only I could fly too......

Well? Can fly? Fly over?

Hamr's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his composure.

Is it possible to transport people from the air to the city?

He recalled a toy that Liu Yuan had shown him when he was a child. This toy is called "Kong Ming lantern" in one world, so in the new world, people also call it Kong Ming lantern. Liu Yuan explained the basic principles to Hamr, but Hamr, who had no physical foundation, did not understand it at all. He only knew that Kong Ming Lantern needed a cover, a few threads, a candle, and a tray, and if he put these things together, and then light the candle, this thing could fly into the sky.

If I make a king-sized Kong Ming lantern and put people in it, will I be able to transport people from the air to the city?

But Kong Ming Lantern can't control the direction, if the wind is not in the right direction, this thing may not be blown anywhere. Besides, this thing can fly, but how do you make it fall? You can't break that hood with one shot! Falling from a height of more than 20 meters, even Namyi's mother and Yanhe's mother will be thrown to death, right?

Belch...... Wait a minute! Why should I transport people?

Since it can hold people, it must be able to hold bombs. A bomb as big as a man - no, a bomb bigger than a man...... Hehe, it's definitely enough! I want to see if the walls of Sohei Castle are powerful, or if the big bombs that can fly are powerful!

Hamel immediately returned to the headquarters and sorted out his thoughts, which were sprinkled with fifteen pieces of paper. He asked the letter to be delivered to Liu Yuan of the Scientific Research Department as quickly as possible, and then he ordered the siege to be stopped, and began a three-month peaceful confrontation with the Iraa army in Xiangping Castle.
