Chapter 1117: Returning Far 17
Huanglong Mansion, Kuancheng Waiguo, near the north wall,
Lu Qi'er, a recruit who had already advanced here with the brigade, was looking at those things with some fascination, those things with thick pipe diameters on the ruins they had cleared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the main types of light field long artillery, cavalry artillery, mountain artillery and stubby mortar cannons, the victory lies in the relatively fast rate of fire, with the sound of intensive bombardment and the blooming fire and smoke clouds in a short period of time, countless large and small projectiles poured like hail rain on the city wall of Waiguo City.
The overwhelming crackling force made it impossible for even the Northern Alliance soldiers who were on standby and defending behind the battlements of the inner wall to raise their heads, and they could only shrink their necks to cover their heads, and they could not dodge the flying debris of the city wall to hit their hats and helmets, clinking like hailstones.
And those soldiers and men who did not have helmets or only had soft hair or cloth towels were inevitably bruised and swollen by the splash blows, or their heads were bleeding, and they fell to the ground or covered their wounds and wailed.
Clusters of recessed craters continued to appear in front of the Huai soldiers' eyes, as well as the fragments of the stone wall that were smashed out, and the powerful loud noise, the entire north wall built on the hillside seemed to be twisted by the gale, but it didn't take long to be kneaded into another form, and the whole scene was magnificent and weird.
"Help."
"I can't hold it."
"I can't stay any longer."
The noise of wails and screams almost swept through, for the walls they were defending seemed to have been ravaged by all kinds of invisible forces, and the potholes were mixed with all kinds of masonry and human fragments, which was simply terrible.
In the queue under the city wall, Lu Qi'er finally heard the horn of the attack, hurriedly raised the firearm in his hand, and tried to keep up with the shooting angle indicated by the veteran halberd at the head of the platoon, and while slowly advancing forward in small steps, the figure of Chengtou who was blown up and driven out of the hiding place was included in the lookout of his firearm and the alignment of the ring.
"Put."
As the small flag at the head of the team fell, the fluffy gray smoke enveloped their array for a moment, and then it was carried away by the horizontal wind between the city roads.
Before Lu Qi'er had time to witness and confirm his results, he was busy with the urging of the whistle to complete a series of steps and actions to raise the gun and clear the charge to ignite the fire; Then the whistle for sighting and alignment sounded again, and the waving flag fell again.
As a result, in the array of fireworks that bloomed alternately under the city, a more fragmented continuous crisp sound temporarily replaced the earth-shattering roar of artillery fire.
But this seemingly gentle and drizzly blow is even more shady and deadly. Those enemy soldiers who were already eager to poke their heads out, or the figures that ran up from the incomplete hiding place and shouted and shouted, were suddenly pushed hard by the invisible force in the air, or they were actually immobilized; With the bits of blood that bloomed on his body and head, he rolled and fell down from the city in a dejected state.
At this time, those white soldiers who were squatting in groups of three or five among the ruins, and were resting, finally stood up, compared to these fierce guns, they looked more relaxed and more sophisticated, and they were still unhurriedly checking the robes and armor on their bodies and the swords and shields in their hands.
It was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to charge the city with their backs to the line of fire of friendly troops, and only the most daring and brave white soldiers selected from these battalions could do their duty and avoid accidental injuries to the greatest extent.
And in addition to this, they not only have to deal with the corpses of the enemy soldiers who were rained down by the barrage of bullets, but also the buildings that were destroyed and torn apart by the shelling, which was also a rather deadly threat.
As for those who were swept away and suppressed by artillery bombardment, and which required hand-to-hand combat, the enemy was completely placed in a more secondary position.
After hearing the shrill trumpet sound again, they once again became a group of three or five, with their waists low and galloping like arrows, and with the overlapping layers of waves, they vigorously and quickly crossed the rubble and corpses, and reluctantly poured up the scattered walls and lines that had been bombarded.
It was not until the moment of face-to-face contact with the enemy that one roar after another suddenly erupted, and he flew into the enemy soldiers who were beaten and did not dare to take his head, or who appeared in a hurry; Accompanied by the earth-shattering roar, the three-eyed guns, short guns, and trumpet guns in their hands burst out together, and the cards, machetes, and short axes in their hands were chopped down one after another.
Suddenly, the bloody rain that broke out one after another swept up in the place where they appeared, and quickly followed the breaches here and there, and shouted and cursed each other, dyeing the sections of the city wall with blood, and spreading to the entire city wall.
。。。。。。。
Seeing countless flying fire meteors, scrambling to shoot towards the various city walls in the north and east of the city, most of the outer Guo City seemed to tremble in the smoke and explosions.
And a certain woman who has just sung several songs under my crotch has no care to clean up her own mess, and she can't be dizzy anymore. It wasn't until the last large-scale resistance of the enemy army was successfully encircled in the north of the city that I came back to my senses in a trance and sneered at me.
"Congratulations to the army, the general trend has been decided. ." ."
After another night, under the hoarse persuasion of the captives who had been escorted to the front of the battle, the last group of enemies trapped in the northern corner of the city and the Baitai Temple finally laid down their weapons and came out dejectedly and were captured.
Then there are four closed gates to search the city compartments, receive the treasury and organize the city citizens.
According to simple statistics, more than 6,000 enemies were killed and wounded in this battle, and more than 10,000 people were captured, and the rest fled nearby, or took off their heads and hid among the city's people, waiting for further search and screening.
Of course, in the post-war summary and feedback I received, there were some noteworthy details and aspects.
For example, I don't know if the ignorant are fearless, the quality and quality of these Northern Alliance soldiers are generally lower than expected, but when facing the Huai army's firearms, they have inexplicable confidence and courage;
In addition, when they rely on cover for frontal combat, their fighting spirit and morale are still relatively strong, and they can even pick up bows and arrows to shoot back and forth with the guns for a while, but once they are successfully broken through the line and killed, it seems to be a completely different matter.
Their only reaction to the flank attack or the threat of outflanking to the rear is to abandon the position they are fighting and turn around and run, as if the will to resist and the tenacity of the spirit between them are just some kind of illusion and floating clouds.
It is somewhat inconsistent with the traditional evaluation from the Southern Anton Da Luo clan, which is "light on life and death and good courage, and heavy on faith and light on law". It seems that there is continuous internal strife and external trouble, which excessively depletes their strength and soldiers.
And in the end, as the two most powerful feudal families in the Northern Alliance Alliance, in addition to sticking to the real line and fighting until the last moment, the captured general Shan Tinggui, and his desperate subordinates were tied up and sent out of Wei Dingguo, the feudal lords of Shan and Wei were not known before they were defeated.
Although there are some hidden dangers and back-ups, after losing the troops that came to be the foundation, these remnants of the forces will not be able to set off many big storms for a long time.
In the next few days, it is to deal with the aftermath of the situation in Huanglong Mansion, continue to collect interests and divide potential rights and interests, and it is a certain limit to lay down the Huanglong Mansion.
The will of my subordinates to continue fighting is no longer so strong, on the other hand, it is that it is about to take off spring and enter summer, and the key to the symptoms of soil and water adaptation depends on how to finish and deal with the aftermath well, so that most of the achievements we have made along the way will not be wasted.
After all, I don't have so many alternate officials to manage and manage these places now, and even if I do, I can only entrust others to act as agents and indirectly rule like the Silla Domain.
It's a pity that such a large piece of territory, I and the Huaizhen forces under my command can't eat it anymore, but there is no reason to give up just like that.
However, these new situations have given me some bolder ideas.
For example, after defeating these territories, there is no need to abandon them subsequently, but some subordinate vassal armies and vassal forces can be transferred to the local area to form some kind of barrier and buffer.
And I also have several battalions of Anton soldiers under my command, all of whom were taken to the Heluo battlefield by Su Yuanjing to send them to death, and then turned against the water and defected to the Huai army and were used as auxiliary soldiers, so I am not completely unfounded and uninformed in the local area.
Give them the motley and obsolete equipment that they have captured from the Great Stone of Jerod, and let them go back and recruit as many men as they can, and then arm themselves to these places to explore; They were promised that the land they had seized and occupied in the north would be their own.
Just if you want to get the follow-up supplies of grain and grass and other support, you need to adopt the method of fighting and feeding the war, and exchange the booty and population obtained from the Northland.
In this way, at a relatively small cost, we can maintain an offensive and pressure on the remnants of the Northland Alliance, but we can not occupy the precious forces of Huaizhen.
As representatives of the Ren clan and the Shen clan who served the feudal clan, they will be escorted south one step ahead of the other to perform a ceremony of surrender and loyalty to the newly restored Metropolitan Governor's Office of Andong Province. (To be continued.) )
