Chapter 120: Trickery
Today was a bad day for Billy. He was easily untied by Wei in Wasserb, although he didn't have much hope, after all, he was only secretly instigating a few people who had already lost power, and he couldn't make any big waves, but he was defeated too quickly.
There is even more unfortunate news that it seems that the Iron Fist Army is also leaning towards him, according to the intelligence from the front, this time the Iron Fist Army is a big deal, nearly thirty artillery pieces. Beard could only smash his mouth at this, and he only had fifteen guns here. It seems that this time it will be difficult to fight.
Besson looked worriedly at the road ahead, which was getting narrower and narrower, and the road that could have allowed four guns to pass was now barely traversed by two guns.
This means that when turning back to shell the twin peaks, it is impossible to arrange a large number of artillery pieces in a row, but only in a row, which greatly reduces the density of shells.
The army marched slowly, leaving deep rut marks on the dirt road. From time to time, birds and wild boars rushed to the jungle in the middle of the road.
It stopped when twin peaks appeared in the Beson telescope.
To Beson's surprise, it was a kilometer away from the Twin Peaks. The mountains on both sides and the main roads were all blown upside down. Broken tree trunks, renovated weeds, and even iron bullets hidden in the dirt.
Balde hurried to Beson's side.
Balde wondered.
"What are they doing here?"
Besson pointed to the craters from far to near.
Balder was aware that the enemy was adjusting the artillery to make sure the shells landed on the heads of the Iron Fist. Moreover, the originally relatively flat and large terrain was blown up by the enemy, and it was impossible to erect artillery.
Balder worried.
"It's hard to do. ”
Besson didn't have a good airway.
"Damn, these monkeys are very learned. ”
Indeed, according to the accounts of the soldiers who fled from the Shen Jian River, Enders made up for the loopholes in time.
Now Enders looked from the eldest peak on the east side of the twin peaks, and the Iron Fist Army was like a green ant marching on a narrow road, and when it encountered the uneven terrain that he had blown up, he immediately stopped.
I felt a little proud. Look at what to do on the other side.
Beard also nodded with satisfaction, now unless the Iron Fist Army is willing to fill in with his life, and don't make a flat place to come out, see how he puts so many artillery.
Beson silently calculated in his heart, taking the life of the engineer to fill in. No, you can't fill it out. Engineering work under enemy fire is a joke.
Seeing that Bald could not think of a way, he had to arrange for the army to camp on the spot.
Time passed minute by minute, and Beson lay on the vacated grain cart, thinking quietly. Being outside, Beson felt that the sun was too harsh. I had to go back to the camp and hide.
But from too bright to too dark, his eyes couldn't turn all of a sudden, and Beson had a brief black obstacle.
Then they can get used to the dim light in the tent.
Suddenly, Beson had an idea, as if he had thought of something.
Hurriedly found the secretary who was resting at the door and said.
"Quick, find the torches, the more the merrier, quick. ”
The secretary was confused, what did he want so many torches, but it was a soldier's duty to obey orders, and he had to do it.
When the crescent moon showed a little point, the Iron Fist gathered a hill of torches.
Balder said depressedly.
"Besson you won't let us barbecue, with so many torches, do you want to burn the enemy to death?"
Besson said mysteriously.
"Hehe, you'll find out in a moment. ”
He turned back to the secretary and said.
"Tonight, except for the engineers, all of them will give me a good night's sleep, and if it gets too noisy later, run away and go to sleep. ”
Another confusing order.
When it was completely dark, and I could only see ten meters away.
Bessen just started his own plan.
"Light the torch, light it. ”
One order after another was passed down, and suddenly more than thirty torches were lit.
Beson commanded.
"You put your torches in that place closer to the forest, and you pretend to dig there and level the ground. Once I tell you to come back, you don't care about anything and run back as hard as you can. ”
The crowd nodded. Balder watched silently.
Besson turned to another group of soldiers, who numbered about a hundred. And some of them are not yet engineers, but the task is urgent, so Beson made a temporary dispatch.
"Later, as soon as they are up, you will go straight ahead, and rest the way by the moonlight. Remember to stay away from them. ”
The soldiers nodded.
"Okay, I've just finished the group, now let's start. ”
The two groups of soldiers split up and marched in two different directions.
"What are you doing here, let me remind you, fighting is not child's play. ”
"Hehe, just look. ”
Twin Peaks.
"General Enders has an emergency. ”
Enders immediately came to his senses, and he had to pay attention to any situation on the field, let alone emergencies.
Immediately got up and led by the soldiers, came to the trench and looked down the mountain.
Sparse torches, faint figures.
"No, they're leveling the land. Quick, let the artillery come. ”
In an instant, the Eldest Son Peak was lit with torches, and the artillerymen who had just fallen asleep were woken up. And on the other second peak, the Marquis of Beard also discovered the situation. The commander on the second peak also immediately called in the artillery.
In an instant, the halfway points of the two peaks of the Twin Peaks were lit with torches. The artillery followed the orange-red light and was finished. A series of actions such as filling gunpowder, reloading, etc.
Boom, boom, several loud noises that broke the silence of the night came from the Twin Peaks.
At the same time as the cannon was discharged, Beson hurriedly shouted.
"Come back, come back quickly. ”
The soldiers who were "busy" under the torches immediately dropped their shovels and ran back desperately.
As soon as they left, the shells arrived, kicking up a cloud of dust and extinguishing a few torches.
Beson quickly counted the number of people, and there were two less.
Slow.
Beson instructed again.
"Don't go too far, or you won't be able to run. Now there are two less. When you hear my orders, you must run as hard as you can, and don't care about anything. Otherwise, you look at the density of the shells. ”
But the strange thing is that the group of soldiers who did not light the torches were not bombed. There were obviously more soldiers in that group, why didn't the enemy fight.
Balder voiced his doubts.
"Nonsense, if you're a kilometer away and you're lighting torches, it's weird to see you. ”
Balde took a little bit of Besson to make it clear. I also used this experience to light a candle at night, and it was difficult for me to see the dark part of the room, and if I put out the candle, I could see it blurry.
It's a genius idea.
"No, how do you know that the enemy is going to open fire. If you had listened to the sound, the shells would have arrived, and I didn't see you holding the binoculars. ”
Besson patted Balder on the head.
"You are stupid, look at the muzzle of the cannon, if there is a fire, it means that the cannon is being fired on the other side. ”
"Roar. ”
