Chapter 917: Day and Night

In the first battle of Leping, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia were all present to supervise the battle, but it was Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, who actually commanded the Yan army to launch the offensive. This time, the whole army of the Yan army organized the old four battalions such as Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque Xuanwu and the Qinwei battalion into a corps directly under the Yan King, and the rest of the battalions did not increase in number in addition to strengthening equipment and training, on the contrary, in order to support the construction of the rest of the armies, there was a decrease, and the only one that was expanded was the Vermilion Bird Battalion led by Li Tieniu.

Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, was Liu Yi's subordinate when he was in Xiyuan, and many of the main forces of that battalion of soldiers were already well-known in today's Yan Army, and the highest official prestige naturally had to lose to the Yan Army's number one main force, the commander of the Longxiang Battalion, the Pingnan General Xu Huang, followed by Yang Ming, the commander of the Qinglong Battalion, who defended the Hangu Pass in the Battle of Sili and did not retreat and finally killed Chengren, and Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion! Although his rank is only a general at this time, he is a well-known name among all the powerful forces of the Yan Army, and even the commander of the eight main forces does not dare to despise it.

After many years by the side of King Yan, with him fighting in the south and the north, Tie Niu's loyalty to Liu Yi has reached the bones, and in peacetime, Lang Sheng also thinks highly of his old subordinate, of course, this is not only because of Tie Niu's loyalty, after taking over the Vermilion Bird Battalion, he spent all his energy on this special branch of the Yan Army, originally reading and learning words was extremely painful for him, even Liu Yi himself said many times that it did not have much effect, but in order to be able to better understand the effectiveness of these sophisticated instruments provided by the equipment, The fierceness of the Iron Bull when he was working hard was in no way inferior to that on the battlefield, as evidenced by the dozen or so scars on his right arm that penetrated deep into the skin.

Yan Army's usual drills are not enough to be strictly described, it should be said that it is harsh, there will be casualties among the soldiers in the drill every year, because the training environment is extremely close to the actual combat, Lang Sheng unswervingly continues to implement, it is better to be injured in the training than to die on the battlefield, this famous sentence of the Yan King can be said to be familiar among the Yan soldiers. But it is said that the drill can train the commander of a battalion to the extent of injury, and I am afraid that only the Suzaku Battalion is the family, which is also inseparable from the particularity of its troops. It wasn't the enemy who was wounded in the battle, it was all from these sophisticated equipment.

The Sky Bombardment Cannon is launched by pulling the elastic force, and the Xiangyang Cannon is accelerated by heavy objects, no matter which kind of equipment is impossible to be perfect at the beginning, there is always a gradual improvement process, some of this process is in the study of the equipment, and a large part of it is in the usual training of the Vermilion Bird Battalion! It was in this situation that Li Tieniu took the lead in stepping forward and personally tested the use of equipment, and once there was a problem with the ejection arm, the nearly 200 pounds of iron bull flew four or five feet sideways and passed out on the spot, but when he woke up, he threw himself into the drill again regardless of the pain around him!

Not only that, in the improvement of the ordnance of the equipment, Li Tieniu also gave a lot of pertinent opinions, those skilled craftsmen responsible for research and development have always attached great importance to the opinions of Commander Li, because you can't find a person in the Yan Land who can get closer to these instruments than him, in the long run, Tie Niu even has a strong feeling for these lifeless cold instruments, in the usual joking tone of the Suzaku Battalion soldiers, these Sky Bombardment Cannons, Xiangyang Cannons, Mofang Divine Crossbows, etc. are the cubs of our General Li, He loves him more than his own son.

This sounds like a joke, but it actually reflects Li Tieniu's true deeds, those sophisticated equipment in the Suzaku Camp not only have to be used in actual combat, but also have to be carefully maintained to extend their life and increase the frequency of firing in actual combat, Li Tieniu taught the soldiers to take care of these instruments as their own relatives, and can also be extended to learn from, this bombardment cannon has to be built by your whole family for a year, whoever dares to ignore whoever is a fucking loser, there is no loser in the Suzaku Camp, Whoever dares to destroy the equipment will immediately get out of the camp for Lao Tzu.

Now in the Yan Army, there are several main forces in the configuration of the equipment battalion, and those battalion lieutenants are all from the Suzaku Battalion, this loyal and bold man is also selfless in recommending talents, according to the words of King Yan, the ability is the most important, and the relationship with me Li is not a little fart, you are my own brother has no ability, where should I go cool, even if I have the ability to go wrong with Li, I will not treat you as a brother in normal times, but it will never affect your future, words and deeds, Tie Niu is also doing this! Whether in the Vermilion Bird Camp or in the military equipment battalions, Tie Niu has a very high reputation, and the biggest reason is that during this period, King Yan praised him for having the style of a famous man!

This time, he came to help the three generals and General Gao to attack the city, and when he left, Liu Yi had a joke: "If you don't smash Cao Cao's turtle shell to Lao Tzu, you don't want to do it, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion!" "Today's King Yan is becoming more and more majestic, and it is rare to have such straightforward words, but the more Li Tieniu hears such words, the more energetic he becomes, this is the face that King Yan has given himself, only old brothers who have been together for many years will be like this. It's not just Li Tieniu who has this idea, many generals in the Yan army have this problem, Liu Yi scolded them with a few foul words and immediately screamed, if a serious order is not so exciting, of course, this method is limited to generals, and if a person is replaced by even two generals and three generals, such a method cannot be adopted!

"General rest assured, Tie Niu will definitely smash Lao Cao's turtle shell for him, and Brother Yang's account has not been settled with him!" Li Tieniu's answer was also arrogant, although Yang Ming died in the hands of the Han and Zhang coalition forces, it was Cao Cao's subordinate adviser Sima Yi who could give him advice! Si Li's first battle, Han Sui and Zhang Wei were all awarded, and King Yan even adopted Yang Ming's son as a righteous son to raise him in the mansion, but for Li Tieniu and even Xu Huang, the revenge of the big brother is only half avenged, and one day they will let Cao Mengde pay for his blood debt! In the West Garden, Yang Ming was Liu Yi's deputy, Xu Huang Tieniu was his subordinate, and then although the status changed, the friendship between the three of them was constantly increasing, every time Xu Huang saw Yang Ming, he took the initiative to give a salute, for Li Tieniu, this attack on Yanzhou was the best time for him to lead the Suzaku Battalion soldiers to avenge Yang Ming!

The scene of today's battle is to see the soldiers of the Liaodong Army are all eyebrows flying and dancing, and for the Vermilion Bird Battalion soldiers and Li Tieniu, it is also dripping with joy, this is the first time that the Vermilion Bird Battalion has played a role in actual combat after the expansion, and it is the largest scale as soon as it is shot, more than 100 Xiangyang cannons are fired together, and the chaotic times in the air are flying like locusts to the head of Leping City! Li Tieniu, who assumed the post of commander-in-chief, kept patrolling behind the soldiers who controlled the Xiangyang cannon with his hands on his back, and issued commands loudly from time to time, those words that raised three degrees and turned left twelve were incomprehensible to many officers and soldiers in Liaodong, and only the people in the Suzaku Battalion and the Equipment Battalion understood their meaning, it was rare to have such a big scene, Li Tieniu would not let go of such experience in training soldiers to control equipment in actual combat! Although they are ranged troops and will not fight the enemy head-on, the atmosphere of actual combat is still generally important.

In this battle, the Vermilion Bird Battalion launched one hundred and eight Xiangyang cannons, and twenty-seven Liaodong Army Equipment Battalions, which is only half of all the equipment, in the process of high-intensity continuous use, the equipment will naturally have greater wear and tear, when to go all out to speed up the frequency, when to slow down and maintain the equipment, each Suzaku Battalion soldier is well aware! Li Tieniu led the army to Japan, and Zhao Yun Gaoshun personally set up a banquet in the handsome tent to catch him and wash the dust, so the specifications of the reception can be called grand.

Yan Jun's food essence is the first in the world, this banquet is naturally served with good food and meat, and even specially left a pot of wine for Tie Niu, of course, this is due to Zhao Yun's instructions, he also has such power, otherwise who would dare to disobey King Yan's military law in wartime? General Gao Shun was more affectionate, but he used tea instead of wine, and General Li was full of belly and oil! After he was full of wine and food, Jing Fang's words revealed his intentions! "From today onwards, the Vermilion Bird Battalion and the Equipment Battalion will attack the head of Leping City for twelve hours without stopping, and I want Le Wenqian to taste the taste of the rocky rain first and smash his morale!"

This sentence almost choked Li Tieniu, who was enjoying the last big sip of wine, and the first sentence when he put down the wine bottle was that General Gao was not kind, if the person who said this sentence was an ordinary general, he would be suspected of committing the following crimes, but obviously Li Tieniu was not among them, this is the master who dared to use force with Xu Huangzhang, although he could not make such a complaint in front of Gao Shun, he still had the qualifications to complain. Of course, it's one thing to dare or not, and it's another thing to beat it or not.

Xu Huang's style of general is not only reflected on the battlefield in ordinary times, but Zhang Junyi is not ordinary, his yin tricks and bad moves are endless in ordinary battles, and even "monkeys steal peaches" and "flirt with yin legs" such tricks are also taboo, Li Tieniu has not suffered Zhang He's losses, but every time he has not waited for him to reprimand, Zhang Junyi often triumphantly teaches the audience, the battlefield is originally everything, General Li's lessons must be remembered by everyone, Since this time, Li Tieniu has never fought with Zhang He again, he can't afford to lose this person, of course, he is not the first to suffer a loss in the hands of Jun Yi, Guan Hai before the injury was called a miserable one, and Ziping is a stubborn temper, and the result of repeated defeats and battles is even more tragic!

For Li Tieniu's opinion, Gao Shun Gu is not to take this fork, and jokes are jokes, as the commander of this siege battle, General Gao's words are military orders, and there will be no ambiguity in the implementation of the Suzaku Battalion, and when he returned to the camp that night, Li Tieniu began to convene everyone to discuss the configuration of personnel and equipment and the reserve of ammunition required, since following King Yan, he General Li has not made a mistake in the implementation of military affairs, Gao Shun's instructions are indeed very difficult for the Suzaku Battalion to implement, It is a severe test for the soldiers and equipment of the whole battalion, but no matter how difficult it is, as the direct subordinate corps of King Yan, this honor alone is worth their hard work!

Today, the formation of the Suzaku Battalion and the Liaodong Army Equipment Battalion has been carefully calculated for several days, and the intensity of the attack during the day will be maintained to this extent, and half of it will be withdrawn at night, according to Li Tieniu's prediction, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, the Suzaku Battalion can operate very efficiently for four to five days, although Gao Shun did not put forward a clear deadline, but Tie Niu also knew that the attack on the city would eventually require the Liaodong Army infantry to take action, and it was difficult to expect himself to smash Le Wenqian and his men to death. Li Tieniu, who seems to be reckless, is very shrewd!
