Chapter 19 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 19 (6)
I didn't have to wait long after sunrise before a light rain fell.
Standing on the highest watchtower on the wall of the mountain pass, Tanaka felt that the scene in front of him was really a bit funny.
On the 'battlefield' in front of them, the chaotic attack of the soldiers of the princely state was already the third wave, but the offensive was really not very good. Even if he was on the scene now, and even knew what the consequences would be for the men and women in the city once the wall was broken, he did not cause a trace of uneasiness in the center of the field, "It's too much fun." This is the most intuitive feeling after watching the attack of the Turkish soldiers, just like the demonstrator crowd broadcast in the news of later generations, there is no order at all, and it is completely dependent on individual martial arts or groups of three or five people to maintain the advance, without tactical intersperse, let alone the slightest shadow of cooperation. Of course, there is not much better within the wall, but there is some support, and the morale is higher.
The native soldiers on the opposite side always swarmed up at first, and after being hit head-on by the wall, they would choose to use bows and crossbows to blow arrows or even throw stones to counterattack, but it seems that the siege is obviously not its forte, even if in Tanaka's opinion, the quality of the walled wall, which does not even have a moat, is not good, but the wooden sticks and antlers outside the walled wall still become a chasm isolated in front of the native soldiers.
Mao Wei is especially relieved now, and with only two rounds of test firing, the sergeants under the command of Chief Tian have found a good way to defeat the enemy, of course, this is also due to the excellent equipment of the Song people and the hot weather.
'I didn't expect the rumors to be true'.
The firearms of the Song people can really not be afraid of wind and rain, Mao Wei stood beside the field, so that he could see clearly, no matter how thick the thatch above the watchtower is, there are always rainwater drips on the firearms, if it is replaced by Hongyi's arquebus, it would have to be wrapped in oil paper to prevent the lead from wetting, but the firearms in the hands of the Song people are fine even if they are stained with a little rain, and they can still shoot the medicine as they want.
Different from the firearms in the hands of the sergeant next to him when he saw Chief Tian yesterday, this time the general-like calm man held a big gun in his hand that was much longer than Hongyi's arquebus, so big that the body of the gun had to be supported by a shelf, and the gun body was like a clairglass on the top of the gun, which was used for observation. And Chief Tian was naturally looking at it with his binocular clairvoyant mirrors, only Mao Wei, who was watching the battlefield with his peeking eyes, couldn't see it really well, but it was precisely like this, otherwise the scene in front of him would be too weird.
Su Xingzuo knelt on one knee behind the bamboo fence of the watchtower, and looked intently at the enemy under the wall, where his prey was located.
'Discover the target. ’
'Six o'clock to the right edge of the line. ’
'The one in armor, wrapped in white with a white head, and with an iron hammer in his mouth. ’
'It's about two hundred meters away, and the wind is ignored. ’
Three seconds after Tanaka's voice fell, an extremely crisp gunshot rang out, marking the end of most of this round of attacks. Sure enough, with the goal to the end, the men and horses of the brigade finally chose to retreat after a little pricking.
The temperature is more than 30 degrees Celsius, and the native soldiers who really participate in the attack will not wear too much cover on their bodies, and those who still insist on wearing leather armor are either sick or desperate for their lives.
The two waves of enemy troops behind were scattered in the gunfire just after they launched a charge, and from a distance of nearly two hundred steps, Mao Wei could barely see it, but he could still see clearly that the Tianling Gai of the leader was directly overturned, and the red and white brains splashed on the ground.
The news from the front quickly spread back to the military tent, and even the big flag that had just fluttered was drooping down at the moment, which made people depressed to watch.
The chiefs of the heads of the various departments did not know what powerful firearms were used on the wall of the legend Yamaguchi Yang, and directly killed the three leading Tumu after more than 200 steps. Originally, it was the idea of besieging, but if it wasn't for the persecution of Almudin today, no one would be willing to attack hard, it was nothing more than frightened by the knife in the morning, and the Hewu tribe, who was the first to test the knife, because there are not many people left in the first siege, compared to the local soldiers who were directly decapitated and retreated before they could approach the wall, it is considered a heavy loss.
In Almudin's big tent, the chiefs were all pale, Hewu's men and horses took the lead, and the Liku and Shegu wax who originally wanted to detect leaks were Almuddin's cronies, and the people followed the most, but the warriors sent up were all beaten into a sieve because the leader was beaten into a sieve and finally failed to get any bargain, and the headless corpse that was snatched back was placed outside the tent to make the later native soldiers frightened.
The low bamboo and wood wall of Yamaguchi looked like it was a little taller out of thin air, and the Han people inside got some powerful firearms out of nowhere, except for the sound, and even the smoke of gunpowder after the launch of the sub-medicine could not be seen, but the threat was real. It was a coincidence that three or four groups of men and horses were the leaders who were killed by a single blow, and the nearest few dead leaders were more than two hundred steps away from the wall, and they could hit the target at this distance, and all the shotguns and guns that Almudin had seen could not do it, and some of the cannons could shoot them, but they did not have such a terrible accuracy.
For a moment, the image of the Song people flashed through Almudin's mind, but he immediately dismissed this ridiculous thought. The road to Shankouyang was cut off except for the south, how could the Song people enter the city quietly? Besides, even if the Song people wanted to help the Han people in the city, they would have come directly from the north for a short time, and the current military situation was not exactly like this?
But the more you can't figure it out, the more difficult it is to feel at ease. Now even with Mark, the hearts of all the people in the tent are up and down, and they don't know what to do.
The atmosphere in the tent was awkward, and only Laduro came out and said, "Why don't you let my Ledo warriors try the quality of the Han army?" ”
…………
A small patch of plain by the sea was green with grass and occasional shrubs, allowing the new attackers to be unobstructed by the city's defenders, and the dark-skinned miners of Ledo came alive in the fields through their binoculars.
"Learn wisely......"
The new group of native soldiers looked like elites, not only knowing how to slowly advance with a rattan card, but also being able to rely on obstacles to dodge long-range strikes that could come at any time, although the movements were still a little rough, but there was nothing wrong with the sense of goodness. And the so-called smart is because the nearly 300 people who came up this time couldn't tell who was the leader, and judging from the actions, they were fighting their own battles.
Picking up the walkie-talkie, Tanaka issued the second order of the day to the team members who were also on the wall.
"Attention to all firing points...... Free fire. ”
The sporadic shooting sound of one after another finally began to harvest rhythmically, but the number of enemies was really a bit too much, and there was no special command system, and after two or three rounds of shooting down a dozen people, the rest of the men and horses did not retreat as the previous times, but approached the distance of the antlers of the walled wall, and finally began a close engagement with the Han people strong men on the wall. And the obstruction of obstacles and the dead corners of the walled wall make the originally easy hunt more difficult.
After two shots in a row, Li Xiaoyang missed his spot shot on the high wall on the west side, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered. Among the veterans who came here with Tanaka, with his military seniority is the least advanced, he saw the rout of the enemy army in the scope before he could do the battle just now, but the more smoothly it goes, the more nervous he is when it is his turn.
Most of the local soldiers of the Leduo Department are miners, all of them are vigorous, many of them are good at blowing arrows, the wall of the mountain pass is not high, relying on the shield of the antlers, but a moment of effort, has shot and injured more than a dozen people in the city, the weather is hot, so no matter the offensive and defensive sides do not have too much armor protection, as long as the injury will not be too light. Now the Hermes-Epitek, whose throats were pierced by two poisonous arrows on the wall, will not survive.
Seeing that his sons had already attacked the wall, Laduro was overjoyed, and Almuddin saw the opportunity to let his soldiers blow the horn of the charge again, and he himself and the chiefs of the various families also walked out of the tent, took the clairvoyant mirror sent by the Dutch, and observed the battle from afar.
Se wax Kao, special wax Dan......
One by one, the tribes who heard the horn began to regroup their men and horses in the noise, and the morale of the native soldiers was finally pulled back by the fighting of the Ledo tribe.
Mao Wei finally became a little nervous, turned his head to look at Tanaka, but saw Tanaka holding a clairvoyant mirror in one hand, pressing the palm of the other hand on Su Xingzuo's shoulder and patting it gently, his tone relaxed.
'Seven o'clock direction'
'In front of the tent at the edge of the woods. ’
He who stood under his banner and held the telescope, and the people around him. ’
'At a distance of about six hundred and fifty meters, free fire. ’
…………
The smoke cleared, and the Polaris flag was erected on the riverbank.
The small town at the mouth of the Sancha River is now under the feet of Teo Ching Hai, and the scale is not commensurate with what he thinks of as the 'royal capital', not to mention Brunei, not even Kuching. The expected fierce resistance and tragic fierce battle did not appear, which disappointed the commander of the northern route.
Zhao Chenghai was the northernmost commander of the three-way expeditionary army from Kuching, and the 600 men from Lun Tuk and Shi Long Gate were now under his command. After many days of contact with the veterans, Mao Hong could understand that there were really few people with the surname Zhao among the Song people, but it was really rare to let himself be one.
"Congratulations chief, three shots, the Zebra Ji tribes are just around the corner, and Almudin is already at the end of the crossbow." He was busy flattering.
"Hmm." Zhao Qinghai replied lightly, and did not stop, I don't know what is wrong with this native, such a hot weather, he likes to set fires everywhere, which makes him want to quickly walk away to find a cool place outside the river beach, but the leaders of several families are like more fart, and the local soldiers below are the leaders who will light the fire in advance wherever they go, for fear that the chief will not know his own merits.
Aruna thought he had a chance to perform, and he came to have fun. "The captured captives said that now the thieves are all in the outer city of Yamaguchiyang, and I also ask the chief to order to leave as soon as possible, so as to win the whole battle."
"Don't worry, although the middle road has captured Ledo's old camp, but the south road is far away, hurry up, and just arrived at Cedars last night. Rest for a day, spread your men and horses out to the sentinels, and as long as you hand over all the captured people, the rest of the property transfer department will admit it. ”
"Chief Xie."
"There's just a ......"
"Don't worry, the chief, the villain will restrain his subordinates and not hurt anyone."
"Well, the affairs of your ministry have been handled since then, and the court still likes smart people."
'Smart man? ’
Aruna had palpitations, thinking that he would learn to pat himself on the back and persuade the chief to send troops as soon as possible, anyway, the fall of Almudine was inevitable, it was better to let Lun Du's son get more credit, and besides, it could make the Song people have more suspicion, which was killing three birds with one stone. It's a pity that this Song people seem to have eyes in the sky, and they divide their troops in three ways, and two of them are still mountain roads in the forest, and they actually keep each other's news flowing without any delay, and they don't seem to have the slightest chance to get up and down in it, I really don't know how these Song people did it.
In the eyes of Mao Hong, who was following him, this Zhao official seemed to be an indifferent character, and he had no intention of military merit, if he was willing, it would not have been impossible to capture Xia Maji today, but he would rather wait here.
But Mao Hong couldn't say anything, although the Lun Du Department was friendly with his family, but they had a plan. And the initiative of this army is not in the hands of Lun Du's department, after all, compared with the hundreds of Han militia in Lun Du and Shilongmen, it is still more reassuring or more intimidating than 50 Japanese troops in the hands of Zhao Qinghai.
With the suppression of the army, these hundreds of militias really did their fingers, so that a mere elder could advance and retreat in a place where no foundation for rule had been established.
The purpose of the Transshipment Division was clearly explained by Liao Yun before the troops were dispatched, it was not enough to occupy the territory, and all the places under the control of the Senate were lacking people. The captives sent back to Kuching in the past few days, there are nearly 1,000 people on the back side alone, which makes Zhao Qinghai very satisfied, and it is also the reason why he is not in a hurry to march.
And from the situation transmitted back from Yamaguchiyang, Tanaka will not have much of a problem there, now I want to come and set off in order to ensure that they can smoothly support Yamaguchi, all kinds of light and heavy weapons can be picked at will, I am afraid that the armament is a little too much, let alone defend Yamaguchi, now let the seven of them capture Yamaguchi, it is not impossible to do it with the guy in hand, but it is just to consume more of the strength of the princely state in Yamaguchiyang, and it is also to promote the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, just to impress the locals a little more in the future It is also worth doing.
…………
West Borneo has just experienced a light rain, the muddy roads can not run horses, and there is no good animal power to use in tropical places, the young man was a little apprehensive, he was ordered to go to Pontianak for help, and after talking at his wife's house for a while, he finally fulfilled his mission, and now he is rushing back to Yamaguchi Yang with more than 300 men of the Lin family.
At night, the team set up camp, and in the night there were many wild beasts and poisonous snakes, although it was not far from the mountain pass, the team still did not dare to march rashly. In addition, during the day, he caught a few Tando who had come ashore from Palm Island, and knowing that Yamaguchi-yo had not yet fallen, the young man was much more relieved.
The sky has rained, and the air is clear, but even in the middle of the night, the water vapor is still unbearable. The young man was irritable and couldn't sleep, so he just glanced towards the north one more time, and then his heart was cold. Miles away, you could see the light of the fire coming from the direction of Yamaguchi.
