After dawn, the gate of Wanxian County suddenly opened, and tens of thousands of troops poured out, and even brought out more than 20 artillery pieces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Heavy artillery is not good at heavy artillery, it is not as light as mortars, and it can be carried around at will. The Han Empire used four horses to pull it, but the speed of movement was not very fast, and in order to ensure the physical strength of the horses, they could advance about fifty miles a day.

This kind of heavy artillery is not comparable to the 75mm mountain artillery of the Chinese Republic at all, the maximum range of the latter is as high as ten miles, not to mention, the explosion range is more than three times larger than it. The 75mm mountain gun uses smokeless gunpowder, and there is no need to clean the chamber after firing; The latter not to mention that there is no rifling, and it is easy to deviate from the trajectory if it is fired far, and it is said that the chamber needs to be cleaned every time it is fired, which also greatly reduces the firing speed.

In terms of power, regardless of the firing distance, the power exerted by these heavy guns is only equivalent to that of mortars. Being able to inflict so much damage on the Zulang Department and the Zhou Tai Department is mainly due to the advantage of suddenness and local combat.

The army of the Chinese Republic came from afar, and it was originally taken the route of rapid invasion, so it was naturally impossible to carry such a bulky thing as heavy artillery. The other party was defending on the mainland, and hit Zu Lang and Zhou Tai by surprise, which caused nearly 1,000 casualties.

However, this is far lower than Xiahoudun's expectations, originally intended to annihilate these two troops, at least it must be a big rout, who knows that it only caused a thousand casualties, and the other party still maintains a high morale and fighting spirit, and has no intention of fleeing at all.

To make matters worse, enemy reinforcements arrived, forcing them to abandon the encirclement of the force. I have to say that this timing is too well mastered, even if it is thirty minutes late, Xiahoudun may completely eat Zulang and Zhou Tai.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel very strange in his heart, the other party's reaction speed was indeed too strange. It seems that from the first moment of the shelling, the notification was completed, and the latter actually got the news as soon as possible and immediately came to the rescue. If it weren't for that, such a perfect timing would not have been achieved at all, but he couldn't figure out how the two sides could communicate through the air.

Xiahoudun's battle was very sudden, and in his opinion, the armies of Nieyang and Jianyang would definitely not be able to receive the news so quickly. This time, they want to concentrate their superior forces and attack Xi'e County in an all-round way, and it will take at least one and a half hours for the other two troops to catch up, and it will only take half an hour for the Xicong army to arrive at their destination, and it will take an hour for their main army to arrive in Xi'e County.

In fact, Xiahoudun was ready, and the troops from the two places came to support and prepare. The 7,000 army led by Cao Chun and Li Dian is on standby in Wanxian County at the moment, as long as Zu Lang and Zhou Tai dare to come to the rescue, they will be killed, with the more than 30 heavy artillery pieces left in Wanxian, it is not difficult to leave them, especially Cao Chun has an elite heavy cavalry under his command.

Xiahoudun has always felt that the Huaxia Republic should have some kind of means of air communication. Of course, this assumption is a bit too transcendent in this era, so no one may believe his words. However, if Lu Bu, who knew the inside story of the matter, was on the side, he would tell him that this kind of black technology really existed.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is not here, so Xiahoudun's idea is not easy to say, after all, others may not believe this thing. Sometimes Xiahoudun wonders, is it a little too much?

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan's younger brother has always supported him, no matter how unbelievable Xiahou Yuan's idea is, he unconditionally supports this brother, including this battle plan.

According to Li Dian's idea, he originally immediately concentrated fifty heavy artillery pieces and repeatedly fired at Xi'e County, so that he could force the other party to fight a field battle with him. Xi'e and Jianyang are separated by nearly 100 miles, and if there is a war here, even if Jianyang and Nieyang send scouts to find out at this time, they have to go back to report, plus mobilize and send troops, it will take more than a day.

The marching speed of the Huaxia Republic was indeed very fast, but Li Dian believed that due to communication problems, the other side could not react immediately, and there was more than half a day to slowly push the artillery to the front line, and then directly target Xi'e County for artillery bombardment. In the end, he gathered superior forces and cooperated with the cooperative army to directly annihilate Chen Tao's troops in the field.

Xiahoudun's plan was very hurried, and he even left him and Cao Chun behind. He figured out why Xiahoudun believed so much that the other party had the ability to conduct a telecommunication conversation, and reacted quickly after getting in touch at the first time.

It's a pity that he is not the main general, so he is not qualified to make a decision. Since the battle plan has been decided, then he, as a subordinate and a soldier, naturally has to obey this plan, or Li Dian is such a person.

"General, the carrier pigeon over there in Nieyang was urgently sent from Wanxian County a quarter of an hour ago!" When the army was about to arrive outside Xi'e County, a cavalry hurried in.

"Sure enough, my guess was correct!" Xiahoudun took out the note of the carrier pigeon, and it was written impressively: Zu Lang will send troops.

Earlier, Xiahoudun had arranged assassins in the two places. If there were no messengers or scouts during the period, or even carrier pigeons entered the county office, Zu Lang or Zhou Tai mobilized and released the carrier pigeon.

Obviously, the two did not release the scout, or the scout did not send back the news that they had left Wanxian County and headed north. But at the same time, Zulang still began to mobilize his forces, and seemed to be planning to fight, which means that there is indeed some kind of means of dialogue between the two sides. It's just that what kind of means it is, to be honest, Xiahoudun can't figure it out.

Could it be that this military general under Li Yu's command will not be able to achieve any magic that transmits sound for thousands of miles? In the end, in the era of feudal superstition, it is difficult to say that gods and ghosts do not exist, and the saints all say, 'Respect ghosts and gods and stay away', so he can't help but be afraid of this kind of thing.

Zhang Jiao and even Zhang Heng pretended to be a ghost, Xiahoudun still knew it, and it was a kind of religious propaganda. However, there are indeed legends of immortals and overseas immortal mountains among the people, and there are even secrets of immortality, which are also widely spread among the ministers and nobles. Li Yu's method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles can't help but be cranky until he sees the actual props.

"Zu Lang and Zhou Tai have already started to prepare, and they will start to set off in about half an hour, and they may be here in three hours. But I really hope they can come, and when the time comes, we will leave a gift, I hope they will like it! Xiahoudun handed the note to Xiahouyuan and smiled proudly.

"It's just that this thousand-mile sound transmission technique, does it really exist?" Xiahou Yuan still didn't dare to believe it, but the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.

"The theory of gods and ghosts has always been illusory, but the Chinese Republic has always paid attention to scientific research, and maybe some kind of technology has been developed. It's just a pity that our spies haven't been able to find out!

China used wolf smoke to conduct communication, originally thought that this should be the fastest communication method in the world, but who knew that the Republic of China had actually developed a more terrifying communication technology...... How nice it would be if this technology fell into the hands of our country! Xiahoudun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This is simple, annihilate Chen Tao's troops and capture Chen Tao. With Chen Tao's status, it shouldn't be a problem for Li Yu to hand over this technology, right? Xiahou Yuan pointed to the county seat in front of him and said.

At the same time, in the county seat of Wanxian, a force of 500 people has quietly infiltrated it. To be precise, they had completed their infiltration last night, and at this moment they were gathered in the mansion of a family, where the head of the family and even the family members had been controlled, and the soldiers of the special combat team had stolen the day.

"Xiahoudun is a little capable, and he has already guessed that we have such a thing as a walkie-talkie based on clues. Even if you don't understand the role of the walkie-talkie, you can probably guess the usage of this thing. It's a pity that he still underestimated us, thinking that if he left 7,000 troops and 30 heavy artillery pieces in Wanxian, we wouldn't know? Yang Lang was holding a walkie-talkie, and at the moment he was holding a combat meeting with Chen Tao, Zu Lang and Zhou Tai through the walkie-talkie.

"We will defend in Xi'e for half an hour, is this time enough?" Chen Tao's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Xiahoudun will use heavy artillery to attack the city this time, and it is not easy to hold out for an hour while defending the city. But if Chen Tao didn't delay, I was afraid that it would be difficult to attract Xiahoudun's attention to the battlefield.

"Give me two quarters of an hour to get the job done!" Yang Lang replied affirmatively.

"Then give you two quarters of an hour, and if you don't complete the task, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Chen Tao replied mercilessly, after all, it was a good thing for them to be able to shorten it by half an hour.

"You can defend with peace of mind, Wanxian County will guarantee that the sky will change within half an hour!" Yang Lang replied affirmatively.

"We'll be there in half an hour, and we'll see how we put on this show!" I can't say, General Guan doesn't need to come over! Zulang's voice came out.

"Our army will arrive in the afternoon, and there are still two hours or so, can't you hold out a little longer?" Guan Yu's voice came out suddenly.

"General Guan, it's illegal to eavesdrop on our channel!" Chen Tao said helplessly.

"Guan wants to cooperate with you in the battle this time, of course I want to know your situation, I don't plan to come over and ask, what I heard is just by the way, why did I foul?" Guan Yu directly denied it cheekily.

"Okay, let's try to take our time, give you enough time to come, why don't you leave you a mouthful of soup?" Chen Tao had no choice but to give a guarantee.

"Guan came all the way and could only drink a mouthful of soup...... Forget it, you're on your way, you remember! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he fell silent, thinking that he was really in a hurry.

"Okay, don't waste any time, you just act early!" Chen Tao didn't talk nonsense either.

"Sons, we were only given half an hour above, do you have the confidence to complete the task?" Yang Lang walked out of the door and shouted.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The soldiers immediately gestured, after all, if they all answered in unison, wouldn't their existence be exposed?

"Let's get moving!" Yang Lang licked his lips and immediately gave an order. (To be continued.) )
