Chapter 156: Victory in the First Battle
"Woo ......!"
"Big brother, the troops have been marching all night, are you trying to repair the siege first!" Reined in the war horse, Xu Tianhua looked at Li Yun next to him and said.
Indeed, after a night of rapid marching, although the Suzaku Army arrived in Changping County in the shortest possible time, all the soldiers were also tired.
But Li Yun shook his head and said, "No! Never give the enemy any time to prepare, first attack the city and then repair! ”
"No!"
Xu Tianhua responded, and then began to adjust his troops to prepare for the siege.
At this time, Changping County had not yet reacted, and officers such as the patrol battalion were sleeping at home, and at this time, there was only one army on the city wall.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Move things over! ”
Shen Wu, the third assistant leader of the Changping County Patrol Battalion on the city wall, looked out of the city uneasily while urging his men to move the equipment to defend the city.
Although Shen Wu didn't know where this army came from, they actually dared to violate the ban and blatantly drive the army outside the city, which brought him great pressure regardless of the purpose.
"Report! The divisions are combat-ready and ready for orders! ”
Hearing this, Li Yun said lightly: "Let's start!" ”
"No!"
Then three red flares burst into the sky with a piercing screech, and three brilliant red flowers bloomed in midair.
"Smack......! Syllable......! Syllable......! ”
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
At the same time, the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment of the Vermilion Bird Army bravely and fearlessly rushed to Changping County, and let out a heaven-shattering shout of killing! ”
"Rebellion! Rebellion! This group of thieves has really rebelled! I saw that Shen Wu was startled by the deafening shouting of killing, and he originally had a trace of illusion, thinking that the army outside might have strayed into Changping County.
But I didn't expect them to say nothing, and they directly attacked the city.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Everyone is ready, you will hurry up and ask Lord Sun for help! ”
"Ah......? Promise! ”
The patrol battalion of Changping County, which has only chased bandits on weekdays, has never seen such a scene, and everyone can't help but be a little overwhelmed, if it weren't for Shen Wu's bullet pressure, I'm afraid it would be chaotic.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Suzaku army stopped when they rushed a stone's throw from the city walls, and then, under the cover of the shield bearers, began to shoot at the castle.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Ah......h
"My arm!"
"Uh......! Puff ......"
As a burst of gunfire rang out, the soldiers of the patrol battalion at the head of the city were shot and fell to the ground, and some even fell from the city after being shot.
"What kind of firebolt is this? So far you can hit! Seeing his subordinates being shot and falling to the ground, Shen Wu couldn't help but be surprised.
It's not that Shen Wu hasn't seen a fire gun, but in his impression, that kind of thing is just a thing used to make a noise during festivals. Originally, when he saw the army outside, he actually charged with a strange firearm and felt a little contemptuous, but he didn't expect that the other party would be stunned as soon as he came up.
Then Shen Wu gritted his teeth and hurriedly ordered: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows for me! ”
"Whoosh......! Sou......! Sou......! Sou......! ”
Under Shen Wu's order, the archers stood up one after another and released their arrows, but the charging distance of the Vermilion Bird Army was strictly calculated and just stopped outside the range of the bows and arrows.
Therefore, most of the arrows fell in front of the Vermilion Bird Army, and only a few strong archers could reach it, but this talk about a few arrows really did not pose any threat to the Suzaku Army.
"Poof......!"
"Uh...... Hmmm......"
On the contrary, those archers were killed and wounded by the rifles of the Suzaku Army.
Although it is a bit shameless to bully those archers with the long range of a rifle, isn't war about playing to one's own strengths to strike at the enemy's soft spots!
"Commando! Hurry up! ”
Seeing that the head of the city had been suppressed, the front-line commander immediately waved his hand and ordered the assault team to attack.
"Rush!"
"Hurry ......! Fast......! Fast......! ”
"Hurry up!"
The assault team immediately rushed up with a ladder, they first set up a short ladder on the moat, and when they crossed the moat, they immediately built a ladder to attack.
"Damn it! Throw the logs! Stone! Seeing that a ladder had been erected under the city, Shen Wu immediately shouted hysterically.
And those rolling wooden stones did cause some trouble for the commandos, but the commandos still climbed the city wall against the attack of the rolling wooden stones.
"I'll give you a taste of this!"
When they were about to reach the city, the commandos took out grenades one after another, and after pulling the lead, they threw them towards the city.
"What is this?"
The soldiers of the patrol battalion at the head of the city had never seen a grenade, and they couldn't help but be a little curious when they looked at the small smoking hammers, but they soon appreciated the power of those small hammers.
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
When the explosion sounded, the city was instantly shrouded in smoke, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion at the head of the city were also killed and wounded by the bombing.
Because the army in the era of cold weapons had to maintain a formation in order to exert the maximum combat effectiveness, they stood very closely with each other, so that the power of the grenade was maximized.
"Quick! Give it all to me! ”
After throwing the grenade, the leader of the commando team immediately shouted, and then jumped onto the top of the city.
"Kill!"
Seeing the Suzaku army climb up to the top of the city, the surviving patrol battalion soldiers immediately rushed over. But the commandos who climbed to the top of the city did not panic, and they pulled out their revolvers on their waists and opened fire.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”
For a time, the intensive firepower killed and wounded the enemy. Immediately after that, more and more commandos climbed to the top of the city, and the enemy on the top of the city was crushed at once.
"Good! Well played! Immediately order the fourth regiment to press all up, and take the opportunity to take Changping County! Outside the city, Li Yun observed the battle with a telescope, and saw that the battle was going well, and the commando team had already landed on the top of the city.
So he immediately ordered the fourth regiment to press all up, and took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and take Changping County.
"No!"
"Toot ......! Honk......! Doodle......! ”
As soon as the trumpet sounded, the 4th Regiment immediately launched an all-army charge.
"Kill ......!"
In the earth-shattering shouting and killing, the Vermilion Bird Army was like a sky-swallowing giant beast, swallowing Changshan County into its belly in one bite.
Seeing that the battle situation was decided, Li Yun couldn't help but put down the telescope with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the performance of the Fourth Regiment, but the first wave of attacks took Changping County, and this performance was not in vain for all his efforts.
Originally, Li Yun was still a little worried about the rush to battle, he was afraid that the troops would not be able to win the battle due to insufficient training. But now it seems that he is overestimating the Empire's army, and not all Imperial armies are as strong as the Tiger Army.
In fact, Li Yun didn't understand this, after all, he had also fought with the patrol battalion.
It's just that Li Yun subconsciously ignored this point, he always counted the enemy he had to face according to the highest degree of his knowledge, so as to ensure that no matter which enemy he faced in the future, he would be able to win!
The actual battle proved that all Li Yun's efforts were not in vain, and the Suzaku Army in Changping County fought a battle, and it only took twenty minutes before and after. Many of the other means that had been prepared had not yet been used.
"Big brother, it's really gratifying that our army won the first battle!" Xu Tianhua next to him said excitedly.
"That's right! This Imperial Army is too incompetent! ”
"I don't think it's that they don't fight, it's that we're too powerful!"
Everyone else also said excitedly that although everyone's morale was high before the war, the influence of the Qianyuan Empire for 800 years could not be eliminated in a moment, so everyone still had a sense of fear in their hearts.
But after this battle, the Vermilion Bird Army won a complete victory neatly, which made everyone instantly confident.
"Report! Regiment Commander Xie Fengchun reported that he had successfully taken Changping County and annihilated the enemy! At this time, a herald came to report the battle situation to Li Yun.
"Very good, tell Xie Fengchun to let him clean up the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and the army will set off immediately after repairing for a while!"
"No!"
"Let's go, let's go into town!"
Then Li Yun ordered the army to enter the city, and at this time, many people in Changping County didn't know what was going on! They just heard a violent explosion, and then Changping County was lost.
I didn't know what was going on, but I knew from the dead soldiers on the street and the soldiers who hurried past that something terrible must have happened. Therefore, the whole city invariably closed the doors and windows, for fear of causing some trouble.
After coming to the county office, Li Yun looked at it and said with a smile: "This county government is not bad, but the city guard is not very good!" ”
"Haha...... Indeed! ”
"I'm afraid the county master is still in bed at this time!"
Xu Tianhua, Yan Chongwen and others also looked relaxed.
"Report! The county government has been cleaned up, big brother, you can go in and rest. At this time, Xie Fengchun walked out of the county office.
Li Yun went up and patted Xie Fengchun on the shoulder and said, "Fengchun fought a good battle, and it can be regarded as a good start for us." ”
"It's all the eldest brother who commands properly, and he doesn't dare to take credit in the spring!" Xie Fengchun hurriedly said modestly.
"Haha...... Good! Don't be proud of your merits, but meritorious service is meritorious service, don't be too modest, come to people, reward Xie Fengchun and other meritorious people, etc.! ”
"Thank you, big brother!"
Xie Fengchun immediately thanked him when he heard this, and at the same time, his face was full of pride and pride.
After encouraging Xie Fengchun, Li Yun looked at a heroic and strong man behind him, then walked over to look at him and said, "You are the first commando to attack the city!" ”
"Yes! His subordinate Huang Desheng has seen his eldest brother! The mighty man immediately saluted and said.
"Good name, better skills! Come on, reward again! ”
"Brother Xie!"
After encouraging and rewarding the meritorious ministers, Li Yun and everyone went to the county office.
Entering the lobby, Li Yun was slightly excited in his heart, although this was only a small county town, but after all, it was the first city he captured, and it was still of special significance.
