Chapter 1134: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (24)
The front gate of the Green Willow Villa did not withstand the blow of the large trebuchet, not to mention the failure, only three blows crushed his thin wall, and the second company commanded by Jiang Dafu shouted loudly, and immediately rushed inward after a wave of shooting cover from the crossbow of the divine machine.
Up to now, Jiang Dafu thought that he could enter the Green Willow Villa with one blow, and many of the arrangements of the previous battalion commander Qiu He may not be needed, but the fact immediately gave him a hard blow, and within the wall, Liu An dug a deep ditch about a long length of more than a zhang, and on the other side of the ditch, they captured several Shenji crossbows from the first battalion, and when Jiang Dafu's team began to charge, the Shenji crossbow on the opposite side began to roar. The warriors who ran at the front fell headlong to the ground, and the armor of the soldiers was fragile to the powerful crossbows that could shoot hundreds of rounds in one shot.
Jiang Dafu threw himself on the ground, using some of the piles of mutual gravel formed by the collapse of the wall just now to cover himself, he knew very well the speed and interval of the Shenji crossbow, but the problem was that this ditch had become an insurmountable moat for him, and if he wanted to cross it, he had to face the shooting of the Shenji crossbow.
A total of four Divine Machine Crossbows had just been launched, and the first battalion of Divine Machine Crossbows captured by them was as many as eight, and if the opponent formed an echelon launch, it would be a huge threat to them.
Jiang Dafu waved his hand, and the platoon leader led the soldiers to poke out of the rubble with their bodies shaking, and then hid again after a slight shake, they wanted to lure the other party to shoot their crossbow arrows again, but to Jiang Dafu's disappointment, there was no movement on the other side, not even a little noisy sound.
"It's not like some Zhuang Yong, it's like a well-trained army." Jiang Dafu muttered in his heart.
The enemy was not fooled, but the attack was still going on, and the rows of shields stood up and slowly pushed forward, and the soldiers in the rows dragged the doors of the newly fallen city gates, ready to erect him above the trenches.
As the platoon slowly advanced forward, Jiang Dafu turned around. Beckoning to the crossbow machine behind him, he needs the support and suppression of the crossbow. And at that moment, he heard the whistling sound that had been familiar to him, it was the bed crossbow. He turned around, and the bed crossbow that shot from the opposite side tore through his shield team, and the moment the shield fell, the Divine Crossbow roared at the right time, shooting several soldiers in a row to the ground at once.
"Son of a bitch!" Jiang Dafu suddenly became furious, turned around and yelled at his crossbow machine: "Are you fucking dead? Shoot me, two in a group. Four groups rotated, and they kept pressing me. Don't be afraid to lose your crossbow arrows. He picked up a shield from the ground and prepared to assault it himself.
At this moment, the sound of the military horn sounding behind him, Jiang Dafu glanced at the opposite side fiercely, and gave the order to retreat helplessly.
The soldiers slowly retreated under the cover of their own crossbow machines.
"How does it feel?" Qiu He looked at Jiang Dafu angrily and asked.
"It's not like Zhuang Yong, it's like a well-trained army. Zhuang Yong definitely does not have this level. Jiang Dafu thought for a while and said, "I suspect that there is a Chu army in this Zhuangzi. ”
Qiu He nodded, "I think so too, but what I don't understand is." At present, whether it is Tucheng or Pengcheng, for the Chu army, there should not be enough troops. How could there still be a team of Chu troops with good combat strength in Green Willow Villa? ”
"Or is it to contain our attack on Tucheng?" Jiang Dafu thought for a moment and said, "Didn't they succeed in containing the attack of the first battalion on Tucheng before? The first battalion lost all its baggage, before reinforcements arrived. There is basically no way to do it for Tucheng. Unless you take human lives to pile up, but this kind of fighting has never been the tradition of our Han army, if the loss is too great, even if you win, the boss will be annoyed. ”
"I hope so." Qiu He nodded: "Don't press too Luliuzhuang, if there is really a regular army in Zhuangzi, this battle will not be so easy." I counted, and there were four of them that had just been put into use. Next, you take it easy, push slowly, and fill in your ditch for me first. Don't charge harshly, in front of the Divine Crossbow, any cluster charge will have to pay with your life. ”
"My subordinates understood."
When Jiang Dafu launched the second attack, his subordinates cut down dozens of willow trees with the thickness of the bowl mouth outside, and nailed them together one by one with rivets, making a large and thick shield, dozens of soldiers pressed behind the plank, and advanced to the trench step by step, this time, whether it was a bed crossbow or a divine crossbow, there were not many ways to deal with it, when this guy made of dozens of big trees was tiled on the trench, Jiang Dafu almost thought that he had solved the problem.
The enemy's response was timely and effective, and one by one the clay pots filled with grease flew out from behind the line of defense, landed on the willow trees, rockets were fired, and a raging fire ignited, ruthlessly extinguishing Jiang Dafu's hopes.
Zhuangnei, Liu An is also under tremendous pressure, as a well-trained general, he knows very well that the opponent has not done his best, so far, the opponent has only about one-third of the troops, and every attack is a shallow stop, it seems to be testing his bottom line, Rao is so, the five hundred soldiers he brought from the army have also suffered about one-third of the casualties, a whole morning, it is such a piecemeal attack, but it has made the atmosphere in Zhuangnai extremely solemn, Especially the huge trebuchet, the stone projectiles it throws have begun to extend, and every stone projectile that flies will destroy a house, Liu An doesn't know what the maximum firing range of this stone cannon is, he only knows that every stone projectile that flies will suppress the resistance in Zhuangzi by a point.
After all, the brave people in Zhuangzi are all locals.
But as Qiu He thinks, Green Willow Villa is a treasure land for defense, but it is also a dead land, once the Zhuangzi is broken, there is no place to escape, when he came back, the reinforcements promised by General Bi Xuan don't know when they will arrive, and even if the reinforcements arrive, will they come to support Green Willow Villa first? Isn't Tucheng more important?
A terrible thought suddenly flashed in Liu An's mind, he knew that General Bi Xuan had a big chess game in his chest, but on top of this big chess game, was he the one who was abandoned? In order to achieve the final victory, there are always some pieces on the board that have to be discarded.
After lunch, the enemy offensive stopped, and Liu An hurried to his father's residence.
"Dad, while the enemy hasn't done his best, you better hurry up!"
"Why go? Didn't you play well in the morning? Liu Yiqing, who was very rich, looked at his son puzzled, "Moreover, as long as the reinforcements arrive, the enemy will naturally flee, and at that time, our Liu family will be the first one above the boundary of Pengcheng, what do you want, son, now you can hold on, I don't think the Han army will be a big deal!" ”
Liu An shook his head: "Father, the Han army's expeditions to the east and west, but they didn't say it with their mouths, we won the first battle, that was because the enemy was too light on the enemy, and now, the enemy didn't do their best at all, they were just a temptation, Zhuang Yong in Zhuangzi couldn't play a role in such a battle, if the enemy did his best, I guess I couldn't hold it for a day, as for the reinforcements?" He smiled bitterly, "Father, I have a bad feeling, Tucheng is good, let's not, I'm just afraid that it is a chess piece of General Bi Xuan, and it is very likely that it is still the kind of chess piece that will be thrown away, otherwise why did General Bi Xuan know that the Han army was coming to attack Pengcheng, but he did not send reinforcements in advance, and only asked me to bring five hundred people back to organize Xiangyong to contain the Han army." ”
"That's what you think?" Liu Yiqing's face changed greatly.
"I think so, so father, you still take your younger brothers and sisters to go to Pengcheng first, now the enemy has not blocked the periphery, you and your family hurry up and follow the secret path."
"This huge family business was just given up?" Liu Yiqing looked at his son reluctantly.
"As long as the people are still there, as long as we win, we can get everything back, if the people are gone, even if we win in the end?" Liu An comforted his father.
"What about you?"
"I am a soldier, so naturally I have to complete the task first, and my safety is not to worry about my father. When it really comes to the point where I can't resist it, I will naturally leave early. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Pengcheng." Liu Yiqing gritted his teeth and nodded, his son was right, as long as people are still there, anyway, these lands can't run, and when the battle is over, come back to clean up the old river......
Not to mention the plan of the Liu family father and son of the Green Willow Villa, in the direction of Tucheng, Mao Afu arrived at the battlefield with the main force of the second regiment, looked at Fu Jiang who came up with a look of anger, stared at Fu Jiang who was dejected, Mao Afu directly kicked Fu Jiang to the ground, "You shit, Lao Tzu's face has been lost by you, and the face of our third division has also been lost by you, Division Commander Dong is now on the way to come, you are waiting for military law to deal with it!" ”
Ignoring Fu Jiang, who was getting up, Mao Afu's eyes turned directly to Song Bao, the commander of the third battalion beside him, "Song Bao, take your second battalion, in half a day, from now on, until the time of the lantern at night, I want to see our military flag planted on the enemy's position in Tucheng." All the long-range weapons of the whole regiment are suppressed for you, and a cavalry company directly under the regimental headquarters is also handed over to you, and I will supervise the battle here. ”
"Yes, regiment commander, Song Yu promises to complete the task."
"Regiment commander, regiment commander, please give the first battalion another chance, the first battalion is not broken, and we can still attack." Fu Jiang shouted loudly.
Song Bao on the side hesitated, he knew very well that if the regiment commander did not agree to Fu Jiang's request, he was afraid that Fu Jiang's future in the army would really be over, and if Fu Jiang personally took Tucheng, there was still room for change in this matter.
"Regiment commander, the first battalion has already fought a battle, and the deployment of the enemy is also very clear, otherwise, let Battalion Commander Fu try again, and I will press him down."
Mao Afu had a calm face, his eyes turned around the faces of the two of them a few times, and in Fu Jiang's great anticipation, he finally nodded. (To be continued......)
