Chapter 284 Volley

Aleppo, Qin Fen, the defender of the city, stood under the eaves of the corner tower in the city and looked at the Byzantines in the distance, the movements of this group of Byzantines were very strange, tens of thousands of people gathered together, but they did not mean to launch a continuous assault on the city.

Only on the second day of arrival, after trying to launch a wave of siege on the city, they quickly retreated, apparently the defenders of the city muskets and artillery made the Byzantines suffer a lot, they pushed down and set up a large camp ten miles away from the city, and laid down a long-term siege plan, but they were afraid that the Tianzhu army in the city would go out of the city to rush the camp.

Qin Fen is the male son of the Qin family, a descendant, and the cousin of the head of the family, Qin Fang, who was ordered to stay in Aleppo City this time to say that it was impossible for him not to complain in his heart.

The current city of Aleppo is almost a dessert from the mouth of the enemy, and there are no reinforcements within a radius of 100 miles. He and his soldiers stayed in the city almost as long as they died.

There were nearly tens of thousands of enemies outside the city, and the real available soldiers at his command were only 500 men.

Moreover, the inhabitants of the city were all outsiders, and he and his men were isolated here. In such a situation, no matter who comes, there is nothing to be done, and it is almost a certain death.

But now if he wants Qin Fen to give up defending the city and escape, it is impossible.

For a hundred years, the descendants of the Qin family have not had such cowards.

The more dangerous this situation is, the more it is the opportunity for the men of the Qin family to become famous. This is the fate of the Qin family's boys.

It's just that now, the enemy outside the city is moving so slowly, which makes the city quite unbearable, if the enemy attacks the city, everyone will fight to the death.

Was it with such efficiency that the Byzantines swept across Asia Minor?

Qin Fen couldn't help but look down on the Byzantines a little more.

The soldiers are fast, and they don't understand such a truth? If the enemy attacks quickly, relying on the strength of the crowd, he Qin Fen can only die.

But now? If you continue to grind like this, maybe you can really bring this game back to life! Now the reinforcements of the imperial court in the rear should have rushed to this side!

The Byzantines did not have much time.

As long as the reinforcements arrive, even if it is only a thousand, he Qin Fen dares to say that he will definitely be able to defend this city to the death and let the enemy return with a feather.

Although he was almost in a desperate situation, Qin Fen did not lack the fighting spirit.

He wondered, wondering what would happen if he put that one in his place.

The person he has always admired in his heart, the various battle cases that rose all the way from a low-level officer Qin Fen are all clear, the situation faced by that person at the beginning is no better than the current Qin Fen, the boss framed and made a trap, but that person can still rely on his superb leadership to come back to life, with a mere battalion of troops successively defeated two groups of tens of thousands of troops, defeating the victory, but in turn helping the Northern Expedition army to lay the Northern Expedition in one fell swoop.

Although the official statement at the beginning was that the main force of the Japanese army was the key, anyone with a discerning eye knew that if it were not for the miraculous victory led by that person, the Northern Expedition would not have won such a big victory.

Now, with the rise of that man, these original secrets are gradually becoming known, and the name of that man's god of war is more and more popular.

At the beginning, that person also did such a miracle with a mere 500 troops, and now that he Qin Fen encountered almost the same situation, what kind of great thing could he do?

You must know that even that person is only the same age as Qin Fen.

Think of that man is a genius on the battlefield, and no one in history has ever done so many miraculous battles like him.

And this person is almost the same age as himself, living in the same era!

It's fascinating to think about.

Qin Fen himself has always regarded the Metropolitan Governor Li Zhe as his idol, and has always wanted to do some great things like his idol and leave his name in history.

He had never known about it.

Therefore, even in such a desperate situation, Qin Fen will not lose his fighting spirit!

Aren't heroes and heroes all known to the world in such circumstances?

The more this situation is, the more heroic and heroic it is!

Qin Fen was surging in his heart, and at the same time thinking about how to break the current situation.

At this time, suddenly, the adjutant next to him: "Look? ”

Qin Fen followed the adjutant's arm with the telescope in his hand, huh? I saw a group of enemy troops in the enemy's camp outside the city lining up in a large group to the northeast, and in a short time, the group formed a long line.

"This?"

Qin Fen opened his mouth wide, puzzled.

This? It can't be that before he Qin Fen has made a big move, the enemy is so frightened that he runs away!

The enemy army is this, and they haven't attacked the city yet, so are they going to divide their forces?

………………………………

A few days later, at Lake Asad, the largest northern part of Hubo in Syria, Wang Degong looked at the enemy troops blocking the way in front of the formation, and he led the reinforcements under his command, which was originally going to Aleppo to defend the western border of Syria, but he did not expect to encounter the enemy army here, and the enemy army seemed to be waiting for work.

Sure enough, soon the scouts on both sides behind him also came with news, and the enemy troops on both sides also surrounded him one after another, and it seemed that this was really the location chosen by the enemy.

With such flat terrain, there is no way to talk about ambushes.

However, if you can take advantage of the Japanese army to besiege it halfway, you still have a good chance to catch your own side by surprise.

This method of warfare was effective against more than ninety percent of the troops of this era.

In this era, there were very few armies that were specifically trained to fight on the march.

But unfortunately, the Byzantines encountered the Japanese army, and they did not know that the Japanese army was one of the few left.

If there is one place where the Japanese army has been strengthened the most than most armies of this era, it is undoubtedly the march.

Five-kilometer cross-country and 30-kilometer training are the subjects that are the most commonly trained on weekdays in the military training of the Japanese army. As for the topic of how to fight on the march, it can be said that the Japanese army is the strongest in this era.

Therefore, when the Byzantines came up from all sides, what they saw was that in the face of the siege, the Song army adjusted its formation almost instantly, and the shape of a long marching army quickly transformed into a large square.

Just in front of the enemy army, the Japanese army was dazzled and completed this transformation, which was like magic.

The Byzantine commander Dimiteschi stepped forward and looked at the Japanese army formation in the distance, his eyebrows were wrinkled on his towering eyebrow bones, he had been here with his army for two days, and he had been waiting for this opportunity for two days.

He knew that although they were attacking, it must be the Song people who were more unfamiliar with the terrain here than them.

Therefore, it should be easy for him to find opportunities in the field, which is why he was reluctant to attack the city of Aleppo and chose to come east to intercept enemy reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the tactical literacy of the Song people's support army was far above his imagination, and the Song people completed the formation change almost in the blink of an eye, and under the current Song army formation, the Byzantines have lost their best fighters. A premeditated ambush turned into a face-to-face battle between the two armies.

And the Song people are so skilled in the tactical formation transformation, they are obviously very good at this kind of war.

However, although Dimites saw this, he could not change the deployment that had been established before the war.

On the battlefield, time was fleeting, and just as Dimites was blocking the Song people in front, hooves rumbled, horns sounded wildly, and the Byzantine Thracians, who were located north of the Song army's flank, shouted wildly, howled, and had launched an attack on the Song people.
