Tunnel warfare has certain limitations, and generally speaking, tunnels are built in rural terrain with inconvenient transportation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of terrain is not suitable for heavy artillery exchanges, in fact, even if they are brought, they are reluctant to waste artillery shells without knowing the distribution of tunnels, after all, only a group of militiamen were killed after a bombardment, which is too wasteful.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it may be more suitable to fight tunnel warfare, and Huangfu Song chose to dig tunnels here in Dingling, and it is really right to put it somewhere else. With the ghost of the tunnel, killing people invisibly, I have to say that the strong crossbow and the tunnel are indeed more compatible.

It's a pity that he miscalculated Guan Yu's decision and overestimated the solidity of the tunnel. In the end, the tools of this era are still too bad, and almost all the good steel is used to forge weapons, or war weapons, and the folk digging tools are actually not very advanced.

Therefore, the tunnel dug out is naturally not too deep, and it lacks enough concrete reinforcement, and after being bombarded by mortars, it finally collapsed without support. The tunnel that has collapsed can naturally not be used anymore, and after the tunnel is less interspersed with the role of interspersed and connected, the power has dropped by more than seventy percent.

It took more than an hour for the ruins of the government to finally be cleared. Finally, he opened the tunnel and dug out all the soldiers inside. Huangfu Song was suffocated for two hours, and he was already out of breath, and he couldn't die anymore.

However, Wang Ling's kid is lucky, he is young in the end, and he still has a breath, but his face is purple due to lack of oxygen. Nine out of ten of the people buried below have died, and I have to say that Wang Ling's kid is lucky.

Of course, even if it's good, it won't work, and in the end, this kid will be captured directly, and he will be transported back to Taoyuan City in a short time. What awaits him is endless labor education and ideological transformation, and I only hope that he, a pampered son, can survive.

In the next half a day, Guan Yu took Chen Tao and them, as well as 20,000 prisoners, and directly restored the four streets of Dingling to a certain extent, at least not to block traffic. Of course, the bluestone brick floor cannot be restored immediately, but a lot of loess is used to simply tamp the pavement, and it will be slowly restored in the near future.

Chen Tao left behind 1,000 men and guarded 5,000 prisoners, and they would complete the construction of this section of the road one after another. The officers among them had already been sent back to the rear, along with Wang Ling.

Almost all of these middle- and high-ranking officers are children of the family, and they are the actual beneficiaries of the Han Republic, and it is almost impossible for them to surrender to the Huaxia Republic. In order to prevent them from becoming unstable, it is still necessary to separate from these non-commissioned officers and low-ranking officers.

Huangfu Song's calculation at the beginning was indeed good, many tunnels in Dingling County almost existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, he expanded on this basis, and temporarily built a tunnel network with the efforts of 30,000 people.

At the same time, 5,000 soldiers hid in large homes or shops, ready for a surprise attack. is so bright and dark, if you enter rashly, you may really fall for his empty city plan.

It's a pity that Guan Yu directly bombarded it violently with artillery, Huangfu Song lacked consideration for the power of the mortar, and he didn't expect the tunnel to be destroyed so easily. In fact, this is not strange, it is really authentic, it is built five or six meters underground, so that no matter how the ground is trampled, it can be solid.

The tunnel he dug out temporarily, but it was three meters below the ground, which was actually very difficult, after all, the harder the ground became, the more difficult it was to dig up, and it was not easy to dig it in a day or two.

From a strategic point of view, Huangfu Song's authentic tactics can indeed score full marks, but it is a pity that they still underestimate the army of the Republic of China too much in terms of tactics, which is the real reason why they suffer.

Guan Yu also thinks that if Huangfu Song gives up Dingling and arranges tunnels in Wuyang, then maybe the situation will be different. even gave up Kunyang and Wuyang, and directly built tunnels in the father city, maybe he could really yin them.

There are not so many in this world, however, tunnel warfare was originally the last resort of Huangfu Song, and what they wanted was just to use artillery and battle formations to fight face-to-face, but it was a pity that they found that in terms of the power of firearms and the attack distance, they were not the opponents of the army of the Republic of China at all, so they had no choice but to retreat to Dingling and use their last resort to struggle.

The 30,000 border troops were completely wiped out in this way, in other words, the Han Republic was already undefended in Yingchuan. How could Guan Yu miss this opportunity, he quickly killed the west from the next day, and directly captured the three counties of Wuyang, Kunyang and Father City on the same day. At the same time, the sword is sharpened, and the soldiers are in Xiangcheng and Yangzhai counties.

Guan Ping's side also sent back the news through the walkie-talkie, they have successfully defeated Linying County and Yingyin County, and are advancing towards Xu County, and then they will attack Xinji, Yanling and Changshe counties one after another, and finally join forces with Guan Yu to attack Yangzhai County.

There was also news from Huang Zhong's side that they had captured Suiyang, the county governor of Liang County, and were about to continue to attack other county seats in Liang County. In addition, according to the news sent back by the forward scout, the front of Zhang Fei, the general of Zhengnan, has come to Jiyin Jishi County, and may be about to do a game soon.

There was also news from the rear that a large number of officials and police officers had begun to settle in the county towns of Runan County. The new Taishou of Runan County is Li Ru's house. Originally, he was the Taishou of Lujiang, but of course Runan County and Lujiang County are different, Li Ru is also very satisfied with the arrangements of the Huaxia Republic, and Zhang Ji, who was transferred to the armed police, will also take an armed police force to be stationed in the local area to ensure local security.

The garrisons of Chen Tao and Zumao, who remained in the local area, also moved towards the border one after another. They were stationed in Langling, Xiping, Shansang and Chengfu, and 5,000 soldiers were stationed in each county.

At the same time, Chen Tao's department in Yingchuan also successively gathered in Kunyang, Wuyang and the area of the father city to guard. Guan Yubu was really alone and went deep and killed Xiangcheng.

The next day, with the capture of Xiangcheng by the army, and was planning to attack Jiaxian, but did not want to attack Nanyang County, according to the intelligence has already captured Fuyang, Xiangxiang, Pingshi, Huyang, Xinye, Chaoyang, Yuyang and Jianyang, is planning to go north to attack Wanxian, but do not want to encounter the main force of the Xiahou brothers.

The opponent also seems to have a strong crossbow in his hand, which is not as powerful as the one equipped by his own army, and the rate of fire and range are also quite impressive. The key is that the other side has heavy artillery, and the shells can shoot five miles away, and they even rely on the high ground to arrange artillery formations, and more than 50 heavy artillery pieces continue to fire at them.

What's more, the other side has actually researched the flowering bomb, which is the key to causing a large number of casualties. Fortunately, Zu Lang and Zhou Tai have specially studied anti-artillery technology, and the dispersed troops have finally avoided large-scale casualties, but Rao has also lost hundreds of soldiers, and now the enemy army is surrounding them, if there is no support, I am afraid that as the artillery advances towards the front line one after another, their situation will be very dangerous.

"Damn, how did the Han Empire's artillery-making technology improve so quickly?" Guan Yu listened to Zu Lang's report, and couldn't help frowning and muttering.

"General, this is actually not surprising!" Xi Zhicai stepped forward, and said with a calm look that he might have expected it, "The Han Empire also has a group of Momen people, who may not have specialized in the casting of artillery, but their creativity should not be underestimated. ”

To put it simply, it is a strong copycat ability, or some backward artillery-making technology has been obtained through other means. It is not difficult to see from the news transmitted by Zu Lang that the other party is still using black powder, but I am afraid that it has not yet evolved into granular gunpowder.

Relying on high ground made the shells go five miles away, but the lack of rifling made it impossible for the shells to fall accurately into the predetermined location, and a large extent depended on the personal experience of the gunner, not to mention that the gunner himself may not have learned ballistic calculations.

Otherwise, fifty artillery pieces are shooting overwhelmingly, even if Zu Lang and Zhou Tai have the knowledge of anti-artillery, in the face of this kind of carpet bombing, I am afraid that they will have to explain obediently.

"What now? Could it be that he gave up attacking Yingchuan? "Guan Yu is also a little anxious, of course he can't go to the rescue, but if he rescues, the original plan will be ruined.

"Or else!" Chen Tao stepped forward, "Since the Nanyang side has already started attacking, then the Kunyang side doesn't need to continue to waste so many soldiers to defend it." General Guan continues to attack Xiangcheng, how about I take my headquarters to support? ”

It seems that this is also a way, and it is not said that the garrison troops cannot directly launch an attack, not to mention that everyone belongs to the eight major group armies, and the combat effectiveness of each army is not weak.

"Good!" Guan Yu nodded, and immediately agreed to Chen Tao's application for support.

Of course, the procedure still has to go through, after all, drastically changing the battle plan without authorization must be approved by the rear. However, this is not difficult, it is easy to get in touch with the rear with a walkie-talkie, and it didn't take long for Li Wen to give instructions to allow Chen Taobu to go to support, and the procedure was officially completed.

On the same day, Chen Tao took an army of 5,000 headquarters and killed Nanyang in a mighty way, and defeated Ye County on the same day, and Duyang County at noon the next day, and Bowang County in the afternoon of the same day, and quickly approached Wan County.

This move made the Xiahou brothers, who were besieging Zu Lang and Zhou Taibu and planning to fight a war of annihilation, quickly deploy a part of their troops to return to Wanxian County to defend. This caused a hole in the defensive circle, giving Zu Lang and Zhou Tai a chance to get out of the encirclement.

For this reason, they gave up their bulky equipment and some baggage, quickly launched a breakthrough, and finally successfully broke out of the siege at the expense of hundreds of soldiers. It's just that in this way, the original army of 8,000 people has only 5,000 people.

Both of them knew in their hearts that after going back this time, they were only afraid of facing interrogation by a military court. Even if they can pass the test safely, I am afraid that it will affect the careers of the two of them...... (To be continued.) )
