Chapter 163: The Battle of Pingzhou (5)
The battle of the day gave them great encouragement, and after learning that the Khitan wolf cavalry was approaching, they did not panic at all, and carried out the war preparations in an orderly manner, and Funing Port fell into the tense busyness before the war.
Tan Ying, the Khitan Jingzhou Army who escaped with his life, has been integrated into Sertan's battalion, and as a sergeant of the Hanxi, Bohai, Gaoli and other clans of the Jingzhou Army who has experience in battle formations, he has been completely integrated by Sertan.
He is no exception, even because he is a native of Funing Port, and he is qualified to be the captain, he is a Han, and he naturally has no good impression of the Bohai Navy, but under the situation, he has to obey his orders, but most of the Bohai Navy are Han, and in his actions, he has the slightest habit of the old Bohai army, and the image of a decent sergeant makes him mutter in his heart.
Except for Han people like Tan Ying, the other captives of the Jingzhou army were already slightly closer to the Bohai Kingdom, so when they were integrated, there were not too many difficulties, especially the easy defeat of more than a thousand wolf horsemen in Pingzhou City, which made these Jingzhou troops willing to bow down, although they were slightly panicked after hearing that the Khitan army was pressing, they were still controlled by Sertan.
Laolongshan, horseshoe-shaped ring around Funing Port, the highest mountain, is the place of today's battle, the forest is not dense enough, the mountain is not rugged enough, the wolf rider can ride a horse to charge the slope, but Cao Zheng must hold Funing Port, according to Laolongshan to hold Funing Port, guard to Li Qi's sea wolf battalion will force the Liaodong Navy on the sea to go, in order to get the support of Fanyang Mansion.
But before that, he had to face it alone and support it independently.
"In today's battle, it can be seen that the wolf rider is not invincible, even if it is three or five thousand wolf riders, what can I do?" In the brief battle preparation meeting, Cao Zheng continued to boost the morale of the sergeants under his command, and his words were full of heroic confidence in victory, no matter what he thought in his heart, his performance at this moment could indeed inspire the sergeants in the battalion.
Because of the enemy on his belly and back, Cao Zheng himself was born as an archer, so he led the wind wolf light cavalry capital and the two newly prepared cities of the Bohai battalion, a total of one battalion stationed on Laolong Mountain, to defend against the enemy on land.
The sea wolf battalion and the other two cities in the Bohai battalion were responsible for the enemy on the sea, and did not arrange mobile forces at all, because Cao Zheng knew that this battle was not as easy as he and the sergeant in the battalion said, it would be a bloody battle, although he didn't know how many enemies there would be on the sea, and he said that the wolf cavalry of the two provinces was enough for him to drink a pot.
In fact, there is no very good tactical arrangement, a brief combat readiness meeting, only the distribution of the defense area, but several leaders also know that this battle will be a test for themselves, but also a test for the sergeants under their command, in the case of the enemy's full defense and full of fighting spirit, to outnumber, there is no opportunism, only by virtue of the real killing skills.
Four ballistae were arranged in the four corner towers of Funing Port, and nearly 20 ballistas were also arranged on the tidal flats, while on Laolong Mountain, in addition to nearly 60 ballistas, there were also a large number of traps arranged by the special warfare capital, among which the latest firearms were also used.
In Funing Port, the only few craftsmen were also recruited to repair the damaged ballistas and build the ballista racks, but fortunately, there is still Laolongshan, and there is no shortage of stone bullets, which are enough for the Khitan wolves to ride.
On Laolong Mountain, Bian Yang, the special warfare capital, commanded his sergeants, dug trenches, arranged traps, and even built a hidden soldier cave taught by Liu Feng to resist the medium-range attacks of wolf riders.
All this is in full swing, time is passing, the sky is getting brighter, the storm will finally come, although no one likes it, but it is still an irreversible arrival.
"Whew......"
When the sergeant of the Bohai battalion was sweating and rushing to repair the fortifications, the whimpering and low horn sounded, which was the horn of the Liaodong Navy to attack, and when the shadow of the wolf rider was not seen on the land road, the Navy seemed to be about to start attacking.
Looking at the top of Laolong Mountain, in the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky, the faintly rich warship sailed towards Funing Port, the flag on the warship continued to wave, the war drums sounded, and the momentum was pressing.
Lin Ruishan stared closely at the movements of the Liaodong Naval Army, as the sergeant commander who resisted the sea, his pressure was not small, the Liaodong Naval Army arrived at Funing Port, and the Sea Wolf Battalion had to bear a certain responsibility, although Cao Zheng and the others did not go to the truth, but everyone knew it in their hearts, so Lin Ruishan had already made up his mind, even if he fought the land battle capital, he would not allow the Liaodong Naval Army to set foot on Funing Port half a step.
Hundreds of land soldiers have been assembled, their bronzed skin reveals fierceness, and they are using Liu Feng's other naval and land weapons and equipment, horizontal swords, water piercing, water crossbows, javelins, daggers, long and short, far and near.
Such perfect and sophisticated weapons and equipment made Sertan envious, he and Lin Ruishan Liu Sen were responsible for resisting the enemy from the sea, how could he ever see such a sophisticated weapon.
The scimitar said with envy: "I don't know if the captain will replace my weapons and equipment after this battle!" ”
Lin Ruishan glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "If you win, my old Lin will intercede before you go to the school captain, so I have to equip your subordinates with both!" ”
Liu Sen on the side smiled and said nothing, walked up to Sertan and patted him on the shoulder.
Sertan also smiled, looking at the sea, there was a trace of expectation, but the pressure of the ship formation, the war drums, there was no trace of attack, it seemed that he was still preparing, and said a little impatiently: "Grandma is a bear!" It's so unpleasant, if you want to fight, it's annoying to break the drum! ”
When the time came in a flash, there was no movement on the side of Lao Longshan, Gao Xun silently calculated the time, and then silently Funing Port and Lao Long went up the mountain, knowing that today's head battle was going to be fought by himself, and those Khitan barbarians were not lacking in cunning people, and ordered in a cold voice: "Order!" The whole army is up and landed in Funing Port! ”
Under an order, the large and small warships and fighting ships of the Liaodong Navy Army are slowly approaching Funing Port, Funing Port is relatively speaking, it is also a deep-water port, and the warships of thousands of materials will not run aground, but the area of Funing Port is not large, and it cannot accommodate too many ships to dock, not to mention that those sergeants on Funing Port are not vegetarians.
From the Qianliu battleship, many small boats were lowered, one army and one ship, accompanied by the Bailiu fighting ship, Cheng Fan-shaped surrounded Funing Port, as the first sergeant to land on the port, Gao Xun sent the elite of the battalion, he knew that this time he could not just shout slogans and not make efforts.
So he could only send the most elite sergeant in the battalion to fight, hoping to fight down and reduce the casualties in the battalion.
The sergeants of the Bohai Battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, were silent for a long time in the sound of the drums of war, and then they were about to start the battle and relaxed slightly.
Lin Ruishan also breathed a sigh of relief, he was no stranger to Gao Xun, in the language of Peng Tonghe, the captain of the Sea Wolf Battalion, Li Qidu, he knew a lot, this was not an easy person to deal with, and there were still new traces of fighting on the battleship that came, so he knew that their fight with the Sea Wolf Battalion was not easy.
However, Gao Xun can still arrive at Funing Port in a few days, which is enough to prove that Gao Xun's grasp of the fighter plane is beyond that of many people, at least Li Qi and Peng Tonghe are not as good as Li Qi, just now, the sound of war drums disturbed, and also gave him a dismount, this is an old and spicy opponent, Lin Ruishan defined it in his heart.
