Huge boulders fell in the air, leaving scars on the surface of the Red Dragon Fortress, and the smoke of debris filled the air, obscuring the unquenchable beacon fire on the west side of the mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hundreds of trebuchets, like cold and ruthless mechanical giants, kept swinging their thick pole arms, throwing boulders at their targets, constantly hitting the earth and the city walls.

The thunderous roar continued to come into their ears, and the brigade commander-level soldiers who followed Jiang Du to the north bank were anxious in their hearts, just like the water of the Anbei River in front of them, turbulent and surging, unable to calm down. If this attack intensity continues, even if the Red Dragon Fortress is steep and the walls are strong, I am afraid it will not last long.

The training of the civilians lasted for three days, and each of them was responsible for 25,000 people, and the workload was not ordinarily large.

At the beginning of the training, Jiang Du revised the training plan they had set, deleted four of the six formation trainings, and only kept the charging and defending formations. These are the two most basic queue formations, only the basic footwork such as forward, backward, and filling, which is simple to change and easy for civilians to master.

The reason given by Jiang Du is that these civilians basically have no combat quality at all except that they are not in good health, and it is very risky to expect them to master some complex formation changes in just a few days. Rather than this, it is better to let them master the basic queue formation, so that they will not forget how to stand because of the melee.

On the contrary, Jiang stayed in the cooperation of various arms, but spent a lot of thought. For example, how do rake soldiers work with shield soldiers, hoe soldiers work with bamboo brooms, how crossbow soldiers work with bamboo brooms, and so on......

For Jiang Dao's methods, the brigade commanders are not easy to evaluate, after all, it is the first time for them to train and command such a strange team, and the combat power of this army of farm tools can only be seen on the battlefield.

Several scouts hurried back from the shore and were spotted by a brigade commander who was resting, who stopped them and asked:

"How many people are out now?"

"At least more than half!" The scout whispered to him and ran towards the barracks where Jiang Du was.

After hearing this, the brigade commander perked up, looked at the back of the scout leaving, and showed a very expectant look.

Sure enough, not long after the scouts left, the brigade commanders of each battalion received Jiang Dao's summoning orders one after another, and the generals were excited, suspended their training one after another, and rushed to the barracks where Jiang Dao was located.

Seeing the eager expressions of the generals, Jiang Du smiled and said, "It seems that everyone can't wait." Just after the scouts reported that the enemy had dispatched 300,000 men and had completed their formation outside the fortress, and that they were expected to attack the city with all their might this afternoon, I thought it was time for these civilians to take part in their activities. ”

"Good! It's finally time for this day! ”

"Yes! It's been a few days to suffocate Lao Tzu! ”

"Commander Jiang, hurry up and give the order!"

……

When they first heard the news, the 20 brigade commanders in the battalion suddenly became eyebrows, gossiping, and talking a lot.

Looking at the passionate crowd, Jiang Du smiled secretly in his heart, but said solemnly: "Next, I will arrange the combat mission!" ”

The scene immediately became extremely quiet, and all eyes were focused on Jiang Du.

"First of all, explain the focus of the attack. The first is how to annihilate the 200,000 enemy troops in the enemy camp, the second is how to burn the grain and grass and siege equipment in the enemy camp, and the third is how to withstand the enemy's counterattack outside the camp. ”

"The second is that we must be fast in our attack this time, and we must annihilate the opponent before they organize an effective defense, and then defend on the spot......"

Jiang stayed in front of a group of experienced brigade commanders and talked eloquently, gave a detailed introduction to his plan and arrangement, and took the regiment as a unit to specify the combat tasks to the 25 regiments.

Then, Jiang Du looked at the excited generals and said in a quiet tone:

"Before the actual battle, I want to reiterate one point, which is that the battle plan must be strictly implemented. In particular, the team participating in the first wave of attacks, if they did not receive a signal to retreat, no matter what the situation encountered, they could only move forward, not backward, even if there was only one person left. Violators of the order will be dealt with by military law. Did you all get it? ”

"Got it!" The brigade commanders opened their eyes wide, held their heads high, and replied in unison.

"Okay, now everyone go back to their respective camps and get ready accordingly! An hour later, the offensive began. ”

At the end of the meeting, the generals were excited and hurried back to their respective camps to make relevant deployments.

An hour later, a group of Assyrian soldiers swaggered to the shore ferry with thousands of Beiyan laborers carrying sacks, where they stacked the sacks neatly on the grain carriers and sailed across the river.

The Anbei River here, the river is wide, the water flow is slow, the grain ship is full of mountains of sacks, it seems to be heavy and slow, the Assyrian soldiers who are on duty opposite see the dense ferries on the river, and show a suspicious look: "Didn't you just transport grain a few days ago?" Why is it here again? ”

As the guards pondered, the grain ship in front of them had already docked, and several Assyrian soldiers, armed with weapons, jumped on the dock first, and then cursed and drove the slaves to carry the sacks under the boat.

"Brother, why are you bringing grain here again? Didn't you just ship it once a few days ago? Seeing this, the two guards walked over and asked curiously.

"I don't know, we're also acting on orders." The escort soldier replied casually, and then showed an envious expression: "However, I heard that it seems that some adult saw that his brothers were fighting hard, and he was afraid that he would starve everyone, so he asked us to send more food, saying that he was full!" ”

"Really? And such a good thing? The guard smiled and said politely to the guards on the boat: "Brothers have worked hard! But I think there is a lot of grain shipped today, and I guess there is no place to put it. ”

"If you don't have a place to put it, eat hard! Is! It's the first time I've met someone who doesn't like a lot of food! The escort soldier looked at the guard with disdain, and then casually looked at the position of the ship behind him.

"Brother is right! Eat hard, haha! The two guards looked stunned, then looked at each other and laughed.

While the two sides were laughing, the faces of several soldiers who were originally smiling suddenly became murderous. The two guards stiffened their smiles, and they just wanted to shout, but they suddenly felt a sharp pain under their ribs, and they suddenly pulled back in one breath, and as soon as their necks were cold, they instantly lost their breath.

At the same time, a rush of strings sounded not far away.

Crash Crash! More than a dozen Assyrian soldiers guarding the crossing lay in pools of blood. (To be continued.) )
