Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Second Battle of Hot Springs, 2
On the afternoon of the third day, the latest situation finally arrived, and Bell and the others infiltrated Salzburg and got first-hand information that Salzburg was about to make a move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The military camp in Salzburg was full of people, people from all walks of life galloped back and forth, a scene before the war, and Bell was glad that he had come to reconnoiter himself today, otherwise he would not have known so much detail.
Although other people could also learn about this information, it was certainly not as sophisticated as him, and this information was passed back as soon as possible.
Yu Wuming received this information, and immediately transferred the two companies that Nuoide was resting, Nuoide only left a platoon, if the hot springs could not be guarded, Nuoide did not want to keep it, so he only left the strength to maintain law and order.
The Zhou garrison arrived together, as well as the first batch of cross crossbows produced by Thomas, a total of 500 pieces, which made Yu Wuming a lot happy, this cross crossbow is the best choice for defending the city, this thing can make those Romanians shed enough blood before they can touch the gate of Hot Springs.
However, Yu Wuming still felt very regretful, he only gave the order to transfer troops to the 44th Division, which had already belonged to him, yesterday, and as a result, Romania was ready to attack him, so they couldn't wait for their reinforcements to arrive?
There's no way, life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten, the enemy will definitely not come less, it's better to be prepared to fight hard, I just hope that the 44th Division will arrive soon.
Yu Wuming stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of Salzburg, Jack stood beside him, the two were silent for a long time, Jack said: "I hope the 44th Division will arrive soon, and I hope they can bring a magic communication device, now we have to rely on manpower to complete the contact with the back, it is too inconvenient." ”
"Oh, I remember that Noyde had a magic communicator. ”
"I mean portable, Noi is too big to carry, otherwise, I'd move it here. ”
"I've been thinking why don't you bring that communicator here, it's too big, okay, this time we'll form the 14th Division, and let the military department send some magic communicators over. Yu Wuming finally thought of a way to pluck the hair from the unplucked military department.
"How about a battalion with one? I made this request when I contacted the military headquarters last night. Jack said smugly.
"Not enough!"
"What? Say it again!" Listening to the two words Yu Wuming said, Jack was frightened, in an ordinary division, it is already good for a regiment to have a communication device, and it is already very scary to ask the military department for a battalion, but I didn't expect this earl to think that it was not enough.
"I can't say enough!"
"How much do you think is appropriate?"
"One platoon, one by one, I want to know what each of my troops is doing, I want to know where they are at all times!" Yu Wuming raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked up at the sky.
Jack saw a white light emitting from behind Yu Wusheng, this was really a divine reply, this answer actually made Jack speechless.
How big is Yu Wuming's brain, how big is his heart, Jack carefully stood to the side, determined not to think of him.
Jack now had an incomparably huge groove in his heart to vomit, so he blurted out, "Why don't you have one?"
Unexpectedly, Yu Wusheng's answer to him was actually like this: "Jack, we are really good comrades-in-arms, I want to go together, actually, I want to have one each, but it's not realistic to think about it, so I want one in a row." ”
Actually, this is indeed Yu Wu's lifeless idea, but think about another world, the United States, the world's leader, has not equipped every soldier with a communication device, so he thinks about it or not to be so extravagant.
"Do you know how big the magic communicator is?" Jack asked as he looked at Yu Wusheng with a white gaze, and after swallowing two mouthfuls of blood.
"I don't know, it's portable, it shouldn't be too big!"
Jack drew a suitcase with his hand, Yu Wuming looked at it, nodded, and said, "It's really not small, forget it, just row one by one." ”
Jack gritted his teeth and said, "You can really ask for it, you really dare to ask for it, okay, I'll contact the military department, but I'll say it's your own idea." ”
"Is it that serious?"
"Yes, a communicator is very expensive, equivalent to half a soldier's money!"
"Okay. Jack heard Yu Wuming spit out two words helplessly, thinking that he was ready to give up this nonsensical idea, but he didn't expect to hear it next: "Just press this, in my name." ”
Jack nodded, didn't say anything, he left the city wall quickly, he wanted to leave Yu Wuxing's side as soon as possible, the farther away the better, otherwise he would also be infected with madness. Of course, Yu Wusheng's order will still be fulfilled to the letter, who calls him the most loyal subordinate of this madman.
While Yu Wuming was directing the defense at Thermopa, in the central square of Salzburg, 2,000 Romanian rebels were ready to go, Don Quixote sat on his tall and thin horse, his gloomy eyes swept over the soldiers, he didn't say a word, just waved his hand, and began the second offensive battle at Thermopae Pass accompanied by a mule and Sancho and Xia Zuo, who was also on horseback.
When the 2,000 men arrived at the hot springs in the evening of the fourth day, Don Quixote looked at the sky, and decided to rest for the night and wait until the next day before attacking.
His incomparably wise decision bought Yu Wusheng another day, and on this day, except for Don Quixote's troops coming to the city, almost all of them were good news, the 44th Division would send the 578th Regiment to assist in the defense of Noyd, and a battalion of their vanguard would arrive in Noyde within 48 hours.
On the side of the military department, those old men finally found out in their conscience and promised to give magic communicators, but they were only willing to equip them to the company level.
Early the next morning, just after 8 o'clock, Romania was like a swarm of industrious little bees, forming a formation 500 meters before the pass, a distance outside the range of the crossbow, which made the soldiers defending the city itch with hatred.
In the city pass, there is no one on the battlement, the person is in the hidden soldier hole on the next floor, there is a shooting hole on the wall of the cave, the shooting hole is a total of three layers, more than 500 crossbows are all arranged on the shooting hole, of course, it is not that there are more than 500 soldiers in the city, only 150 people are really in the city, and the others are behind the city, as a reserve, ready to replace the tired 150 people in front at any time.
Each of the 150 men on the city wall had to control three crossbows, all three of which were fixed to the shooting holes at an angle, and each crossbow had a rope tied to its suspender, and as soon as the rope was pulled, the three crossbows would be fired together. These crossbows were modified by Thomas, who added a ratchet device to these crossbow machines, and only by pulling the handle on the ratchet twice, the arrow can be loaded easily. There are still 50 crossbows left as spare crossbows, and if the crossbow machine is damaged, it can be replaced immediately.
The platoon commander on duty once again checked the readiness of each battle position, and when it was almost in place, he returned to his battle position, and then shouted: "Everyone steady, wait for the enemy to advance within 200 steps before firing!"
Because of the urgency of time, there are basically no recruits to add in these days, so these are still the same people who participated in the first battle of Hot Springs Pass five days ago, so they don't show much fear, in fact, they are still more or less afraid in their hearts, after all, there are 2,000 people outside who want to kill them.
The horn of the "toot, toot, toot" attack finally sounded, and more than 300 Romanians approached with firm steps, because the city pass of the hot spring pass is not high, only about 3 meters, as long as you take a personal ladder to go up, so they did not bring a ladder, but the rope did bring a lot.
Don Quixote and Xia Zuo, who were watching the battle from a distance, were looking at the hot spring Guanguan City from a distance, Don Quixote watched for a long time, and said to Xia Zuo: "What do you see?"
"Judging from the flag, there are not many people, but it is difficult to say, maybe they are in the Gu Bu Suspicious Formation, and send 300 people up to try it first. Xia Zuo stared at the banner on the city wall, hoping to see something.
There are no flags of other troops except for a regimental flag of the Noyde garrison regiment and a flag of the 14th squad, Xia Zuo knows that the 14th and 15th squads have retreated to Noyd, but now there are no flags of these two squads, have these two squads been lost to the point of being unable to fight?
And who is the commander here? Why is there no commander flag? Xia Zuo was very puzzled, could it be that their commander was not here, but hiding in the town of Noyd?
But the commander is not here, so why is the 14th squad of the only Guards unit that maintains a complete structure here? Xia Zuo overturned his judgment over and over again, and if the military division was here, he should have judged it very clearly.
Xia Zuo shook his head, wanting to cool down his slightly hot mind due to the high speed, Don Quixote asked at this time, "Xia Zuo, is there anything wrong?"
"No, I'm just thinking a little too much. Xia Zuo was taken aback by Don Quixote's question, and hurriedly made a perfunctory remark.
"Oh, then you keep thinking. Don Quixote didn't ask any more, his eyes were drawn to the tentative force that had already entered the other city's pass 300 paces.
300 paces This is the effective range of the government's standard crossbow machine, and the government army should be about to react immediately, right? Don Quixote thought to himself.
The tentative force paused a little at 300 paces, the expected rain of arrows did not fall, they began to move forward in small steps of temptation, and advanced another 20 steps, but there was still no reflection, their courage slowly increased, and the speed slowly increased, and began to accelerate towards the city wall, as long as there were 200 more steps to reach the city wall, the wall was not high, two or three people could go up in a stack, as long as they climbed over this wall, the merit was waiting for them there.
