Chapter 334: An Unexpected First Battle
In the east, the sky has shown a touch of fish belly white. The sun is hidden below the horizon, dyeing the earth on the horizon with a golden edge.
The black earth, the deep blue sky, and the faint whiteness of the fish belly on the horizon, plus a few stars in the sky. It constitutes one of the most beautiful scenery before the war.
The army, which had been trekking all night, finally reached the outside of Incheon County before dawn.
The army of black oppression stood solemnly less than a mile outside the city, silent as water. In the distance, the dilapidated city walls of Incheon County are only ruins of broken walls.
The rammed earth walls are full of traces of wind and rain. Several have even collapsed. From the place where it collapsed, you can see several families in the county.
Incheon County, which is located on the front line of Haiphong, how is it like this?
Outside the tent of the Chinese military camp, Duan Peng took back the telescope and muttered in his heart. In my imagination, this Incheon County should be heavily guarded and impregnable, but how could it be so defeated.
"Are we going in the wrong direction?" Duan Peng pointed to the broken city wall and the sparse defensive forces, and asked a nightingale in a tall beauty costume beside him suspiciously.
This nightingale was met halfway. At that time, this guy was wearing a high-ranking military uniform, sneaky, and was almost shot by the vanguard. It wasn't until he spat out a mouth full of standard Henan dialect that he escaped. Subsequently, he was taken back to the camp by the vanguard and showed the unique badge of the Nightingale Squad, which completely cleared up the misunderstanding.
Although, this guy keeps saying that he is only responsible for leading the way. But when he saw this person, Duan Peng finally understood why the military advisor would swear to tell him that if he captured Incheon, someone would send a team of cavalry.
Come to think of it, these nightingale teams hidden in all corners of Goryeo have already figured out the movements of the Goryeo Dongying coalition army. Including, their logistics, as well as material reserves.
It is no wonder that when military advisors talk about war, they always talk about the phrase 'before the soldiers and horses move, intelligence first'. Now, after seeing the blueprint of the enemy's troop deployment in the Incheon area that the nightingale took out, Duan Peng finally understood why the military advisor kept reporting the important surname.
With this deployment map, future battles can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, coupled with the fact that the city walls were basically unfortified, the first battle in which this army landed on the territory of Goryeo felt a little strange no matter how you look at it.
"The general should not be surprised, this Inchon is like this." When the nightingale first came, he was also confused. It's just that after staying here for so long, I am also used to the poverty of Goryeo. He pointed to the city wall and said, "In this place of Goryeo, the land is barren and there are many mountains, and there is not enough food to eat. In addition, the king of Goryeo was incompetent and rejoicing, regardless of the life and death of the local people, he had been building his own palace. Hehe, the local finances can't keep up, and it's like this! ”
Duan Peng nodded thoughtfully, looked at the dilapidated and disastrous city defense, snorted, and sneered: "It's really a dumb king!" ”
Nightingale nodded and smiled: "My lord is right, the king of Goryeo is indeed a dumb king!" ”
"But!" Nightingale then added: "This person has a lot of experience in winning people's hearts and controlling the people! ”
"Generations of Goryeo kings have been entrenched here, and they have run Goryeo like an iron bucket. In Goryeo, the king is the supreme god. And those people who have long been brainwashed are like believers. So, such a country is dangerous! The nightingale said with palpitations: "At the beginning, my subordinates went through a lot of hardships and slipped into here, and because they said the wrong thing, they were almost executed by Ling Chi!" ”
"A mad emperor, ruling over millions of mad people, is indeed very dangerous!" Duan Peng repeated Lu Heng's words and nodded as if he had understood.
"Yes, my lord, you see......" Nightingale pointed to the dilapidated city defense, the poor county town and said, "Although, it looks like the defense is average." However, in this, it is all the existence of the army! ”
Seeing that General Duan was puzzled, Nightingale explained with a wry smile: "The 20,000 people in that city are actually soldiers!" ”
Hearing this, Duan Peng's face was solemn, and he nodded slightly: "I know."
After thinking about it, he asked, "There are no of you in the city, are they?" ”
"And some of them, ready to prepare for the general as an internal candidate!" Nightingale looked at General Duan puzzled, not understanding why he would ask like this.
Duan Peng nodded, took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at the nightingale, and said lightly: "You go back and let your people evacuate the county seat immediately." Half an hour later, the artillery fire will completely cover the county, and when the time comes, ......"
Duan Peng sneered, his eyes narrowed, his palm was a knife, and he swung it down violently. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said to the nightingale: "Chickens and dogs are not left!" ”
"Huh?" After listening to the murderous words of this fierce general, the nightingale who was used to killing people couldn't help but be covered in cold sweat, and looked at General Duan with a sinister smile on his face, his eyes were blank.
"Don't go yet!" Duan Peng glared at him angrily and kicked him on the ass.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The nightingale nodded hurriedly, turned around, spread her feet, and rushed towards the city in front of her.
After seeing the nightingale slip smoothly into Incheon County, Duan Peng breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he said to the herald behind him: "Let the artillery prepare!" ”
"Yes!" The herald clenched his fists in response, turned and headed for the artillery position behind the brigade.
…… Behind the team, an open area.
The artillerymen sat on the ground resting breathlessly, and some were already exhausted and lying on the ground, snorting and sleeping. Beside them, there were more than 100 swarthy iron pipes. The iron pipe was thicker than Chengren's thighs, dark and swarthy, flashing with a dull cold color.
And the soldiers around him, when they saw the soldiers who were staggering and sleeping on the ground, no one laughed. After all, whoever is allowed to carry something more than a hundred pounds and march so far for a long distance can't stand it.
However, these guys are slamming the door again. Several times, the accompanying foot soldiers, seeing how hard they worked, wanted to help. These guys, like a group of misers, hugged the iron pipe, and looked vigilant. It's like someone is going to rob them of something.
Just kidding, the military advisors all said that this Goryeo War was a world of artillery galloping, and the military advisors also said that they were the gods of land warfare in the future.
With such an awesome title, how can someone else claim it on his behalf?
Tired, but sweet!
Once upon a time, they were jokingly called the people who used iron pipes as wives. Now, the big war is about to start, and it is the time to show your might. The artillerymen lay on the ground, sleeping on the iron pipes, and in their sleep, they couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Suddenly, a horn sounded suddenly, and it immediately spread to all corners of the barracks.
"Level 1 Ready,, Level 1 Ready!" The battalion officer of the artillery battalion was a fat man, and after receiving the order of the herald, this guy immediately ran back. Seeing that his subordinates were all lying on the ground and sleeping, he was immediately furious.
As he walked, he kicked their ass and yelled loudly.
Hearing the scolding of the battalion officer, the soldiers who were lying on the ground and sleeping quickly got up and wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths. looked at the fat battalion officer with a blank face.
"What are you still doing in a daze, first-level preparation, it's all fast." The fat man ran around the camp as he urged the soldiers to set up their gun mounts and adjust their angles.
I saw the fat man rolling back and forth in the camp like a ball of meat. The onlookers couldn't help but laugh.
"Laugh at the fart, I might as well tell you. Half an hour later, the first battle of the landing will be fought by us. When the time comes, you just wait to eat the ashes, haha! The fat man smirked, glanced defiantly at the pouting infantrymen, and then twisted his ass and returned to the center of the position.
The artillerymen, who had undergone more than 20 days of training, showed good quality and training results at this time. After hearing the commander's order, these soldiers, who had just been confused, almost got used to the actions of their surnames, and quickly added the barrel to the gun mount.
For a moment, the sound of crunching resounded through the land acquisition.
In the astonished eyes of more and more onlookers, the more than 100 swarthy barrels of guns slowly raised. Like a forest, the steel male soldiers, exuding a cold aura, made the onlookers gradually disappear their voices.
Everyone looked at this strange weapon in unison, and their hearts were full of anticipation for its power.
"Reload the shell!" The fat officer, standing behind a row of cannons, roared loudly.
"Reload the shell!"
"Reload the shell!"
With the echoes of the commanders from the various turrets, the sound of the commotion spread throughout the artillery positions.
"Number one is over!"
"Number two is over!"
...... "Ninety-nine is over!" ”
"One hundred filling!"
"Prepare for the fire!" The fat officer saw the envious looks of the infantry around him, and his heart was proud. He coughed, waved his hand slightly, and said to the herald beside him.
"Prepare for the fire!" A command sounded, and then I saw the soldiers by the turret, lit the torches, and stood behind the cannon.
"Ignition!" The fat battalion officer, who got carried away in his heart, comfortably enjoyed the envy, jealousy and hatred of the foot soldiers, and forgot all General Duan's orders for a while. With a wave of his hand, he roared loudly and proudly.
"Ignition!"
The torch lit the fuse, and after the cannon, the fuse sneered, and the wonderful spark fell in a series like a swarm of fireflies.
Rumble...... The fuse burned out, and the artillery on the far left made a loud bang. The earth shakes and the mountains shake. The loud noise shook the ears of the gunners and onlookers.
However, no one bothered to plug their ears, they all looked up at the cannonballs that shot out of the cannon like a comet and streaked across the night sky. Dragging his long tail, he landed accurately towards the county town of Incheon in front of him.
Boom Boom Boom ...... After the first artillery was fired, more than 100 shells were fired in a row, dragging the long tail of red flames, under the already somewhat bright night sky, across the sky, and fell into the county town of Incheon.
…… Outside the city of Incheon, more than a dozen members of the Nightingale stood panting outside the city wall, their hands crossed on their waists, panting breathlessly.
"No, it's not half an hour!" The leading nightingale, swallowing his saliva, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at his brother lying on the ground like a dead dog.
"No, no, it hasn't been used for a moment!" The nightingale replied breathlessly, and after listening to the eldest word, the brothers didn't say a word, and fled from the city in one breath, almost dying of exhaustion! .
"Okay, that's it...... Hey, what's that? The leading nightingale had just nodded, and suddenly, a falling fireball in the sky caught his eye.
