Chapter 618: Engineer Army (Medium)
Wang Tong really didn't guess wrong... Most of the engineers were farmers and herdsmen recruited by Liu Yu to eat large households, and they had not been trained much, so of course they could not be said to be elite.
What made Wang Tong even happier was that the camp had no defenses, not even a trench.
That's good to fight!
"The Han army is nothing more than that, give me a dismount and attack the camp!!"
At the same order of the king, more than half of the sergeants began to dismount and assemble according to the tribe, and began to rush to the camp with rudimentary shields.
Liu Ting stood on the watchtower, looked at the Wuhuan army divided into more than ten teams, snorted and said, "I really think that our engineering soldiers are not soldiers, catapults are ready!" ”
It is true that the engineering corps is not good at combat, but... Good at crafting ordnance.
Badun walked on the road for almost ten days, and Liu Ting and others prepared for ten days.
There are not many things to prepare, only a hundred trebuchets and more than 10,000 cement bombs.
Anyway, Liu Ting and Xiao Quan had a private chat, and they both felt that if they didn't do their best for the first battle, it would not be difficult to hold the camp by relying on these things.
With a creaking sound, one trebuchet after another prepared the cement bombs, but there was no way, the camp was full of concrete, and then adjusted the orientation according to the orders of the commander on the watchtower next to him.
"Put!"
"Put!"
"Put!!"
Hula~~
Countless cement and stone balls flew into the air, and then were given gravity by the unborn Newton, and viciously landed on the head of the Wuhuan army who was walking with his head down.
Wang Tong was stunned as he looked at the countless flying stones flying out of the camp, although these flying stones are not as accurate as arrows, but you can't help but go down one is a human life.
He also understood why this thing was not used in the camp before, this stone did not have a long range, and could not catch up with the cavalry.
"Withdraw!! Remove!!! ”
The first temptation of the Wuhuan army is over.
Wang Tong lowered his head and followed the herald to the front of Badun.
He stepped forward with a whip, and Wang Tong's face suddenly had a scar.
"A group of people, you can't win, are you still my Wuhuan warrior?"
Wang Tong grinned in pain, but he had nothing to refute.
After all, everyone can see the combat power of the people in the camp clearly, and it is not easy to say in close combat, but the bow and arrow are not as good as the ten-year-old children on the grassland.
"Shan Yu, it seems that the Han people were also worried about our attack, so they deployed a lot of throwing carts in this camp, but they didn't expect us to come so quickly, so their main force has not yet arrived.
I don't think it's better to capture the cavalry camp on their flank first, so as to shake the hearts of the Han army! At the same time, let the cavalry harass the main camp, consuming its arrows and projectiles! Su Fuyan stepped forward and spoke.
He nodded and said, "Okay, let's camp for dinner first, Wang Tong, after dinner, you go to get the cavalry battalion, don't come back if you can't take it, Su Muyan, you take the headquarters to the main camp of the Han army to feint and consume its sharpness." ”
"No!!"
The cavalry on the flank is actually a cavalry unit belonging to the engineering army, mainly used to pull goods, where can you fight with the Wuhuan cavalry in the field, in the face of challenges, this cavalry pretended to be dead, Wang Tongqi simply held his shield with the sergeant to attack, the cavalry who collected the camp looked at it, directly opened the back door and ran, Wang Tong took the cavalry camp, excitedly ignored the reality that the Han army was killed and wounded less than dozens of people in this battle, and sent people to report the victory.
Bandun looked around at the leaders of the various tribes who heard the battle report, and his face was a little more awe-inspiring, and he nodded with satisfaction.
This Wang Tong, scolding can still be used.
"Let Wang Tong attack the main camp of the Han army from the flank, and I will wait for his good news!"
After Wang Tong received the order, he immediately led his troops to attack the main camp from the flank, but this time, there was no more scene of fleeing as he imagined, and the Han army in the main camp resisted extremely fiercely!
Arrows, swords, stones, spears.
Relying on the sturdy camp, Liu Ting gritted his teeth and led the Second Engineering Army through the day.
Looking at the camp that always seemed to be taken by one breath, he waved his horsewhip and let the sergeant come back to fix his meal.
The camp was full of wailing wounded soldiers, and Liu Ting was also hit by two arrows in the shoulder, and the doctor who accompanied the army told him to bite the wooden stick, then cut the wound with a knife and pulled the arrow out.
"Lose your Rem~~~" Liu Ting was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth and vaguely not knowing what he was scolding.
Xiao Quan sat opposite him, fiddled with the fire and said, "Wait for you and the wounded soldiers to retreat first in the carriage, we still underestimate the Wuhuan army..."
"Phew!" Liu Ting spit out the wooden stick that Mu was biting, and then spit a few more mouthfuls of saliva, and then said, "It's just that I was hit by two arrows and was drugged, and it won't take long to get better, Master Zhao is letting the two of us stick to it for two days, don't you want me to violate military law!" ”
Xiao Quan glanced at Liu Ting, lowered his head and smiled.
"Tomorrow during the day, our first engineering army will come to defend, and the wounded soldiers still have to go first, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the retreat."
"It's fine, but you have to leave some wagons, and your First Army needs them too." Liu Ting looked at the sergeants who were healing around him, sighed and said, "It's a pity that our Youzhou Army is already short of battle armor, and the generals came too quickly this time, and the general's mansion didn't have time to change our clothes." ”
"But that's the way it is... Okay, you have a good rest, I'll go on a patrol. ”
In the camp of Badun, Hara, Hara, Mokun and others were gathered in a military tent, outside the military tent, Harder and several young men of the clan were guarding outside with sharp blades.
"It's coming, decipher!"
Hala quickly deciphered the telegram, glanced at it, burned the translated telegram with an oil lamp, and then swallowed it with water, and then said to the two, "The order of the general's palace, let us continue to hide, and when the army is in a panic, shout that Wuhuan has been defeated, and shake the hearts of the army."
"In this way, the General's Mansion is already prepared!" Hello patted his thigh and said, "That's good, today I was shocked to see that Wang Tong beat our cavalry battalion!" ”
"This must be a ploy of the General's Mansion, let's go, let's go to our people separately and get them ready!"
"No!!"
Whether it is the Zhenbei Army or the Badun, they all feel that everything is going smoothly according to their own plans.
It was another day of fierce fighting, and he looked at the camp that still had not been breached, although he was a little unhappy, but he also knew that there were 20,000 people in the camp opposite.
The banner of the Zhenbei Army, he will still look at it.
Since there are 20,000 people, two days of fighting is nothing, not to mention that there seems to be no stone bullets in the camp opposite.
In the middle of the night, when he was asleep, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and he pulled out the knife that he had placed under his pillow and walked out, only to know that the opposite camp was on fire.
"Hahaha! God help me, this must be the Han army is afraid of my Wuhuan warriors, and they dare not fight anymore, so they ordered Wang Tong to come forward to spy on me, and then let the troops pull out the camp and prepare to pursue!! ”
