Chapter 130: The Battle of the New City (1)
As soon as the Huangxia army occupied the new city, there was news from the rear that the Hu people had cut off the connection with Lidu Mountain. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Chuan has already taken this into account, as long as he goes out of Lidu Mountain, it must be difficult and dangerous to go back, and this game can be regarded as Fu Jian's victory. The battlefield is like a chess game, and you can't always take the lead. Luo Chuan had already entered the state, standing opposite Fu Jian and starting the game of chess players. Fu Jian wanted to eat the Huangxia Army, and Luo Chuan was also ready to take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining 300,000 Hu people. The two have the same purpose, it depends on who consumes whom.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on this city wall to be only four meters away, and it is still a tofu scum built by the Hu people, to resist the Hu people's soldiers. In response to Fu Jian's moves, Luo Chuan also thought of countermeasures, and once again increased the difficulty of the attack for the Hu cavalry on top of the snow. It's just that the terrain transformation inside and outside the new city is not satisfactory, and the ground under the ice and snow is frozen like an iron plate. The warriors, who had not slept all night, collapsed into the tiger's mouth, panting from exhaustion, and the progress of the trenches inside and outside the city was less than one-third of what was expected.
"Fish, go find Zhao Yue, divide the fuel into three layers, and boil hot water to melt ice." Luo Chuan was also in the team of terrain modifications, and even his brute strength was made out of breath by the frozen ground under the snow, not to mention ordinary warriors. It is true that fuel is very important to the Deserted Summer Army, one time and another. Splitting out three layers of fuel can speed up the terraising, which is also earned.
You must know that the Hu people know the power of the steam crossbow in the deserted summer, and it is impossible not to take countermeasures. In a defensive position, terrain trenches, and horse traps are not necessarily less effective than repeaters.
According to Luo Chuan's assumption, it was okay outside the city, and only a few horse rejection pits needed to be dug and matched with wooden horse rejections. Luo Chuan in the city is digging completely according to the maze, and Luo Chuan is ready to bring here the tactical method that has been ahead of the millennium - street fighting. "Breaking the city, just the beginning!"
"General, Zhao Yue of the Logistics Department reports to you." After all, Zhao Yue didn't make a flat head in Luochuan Simple Summer, and finally made a bob according to the demeanor of Luo Chuan's later female soldiers. At this time, she had completely woken up from the nightmare, and her heroic posture towards Luo Chuan was a standard barren summer military salute. The only difference is that she has never been used to being called a commander or a division commander, and she has always called everyone a general.
"Well, divide some of the fuel, let the people in the logistics department burn the snow water, and melt the ice after boiling." After Luo Chuan gave the order, he picked up the shovel and threw himself into the plan of digging a pit again.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yue was stunned and didn't move, Luo Chuan frowned, now he is racing against time. Raised a shovel of soil with his hand and looked up at Zhao Yue. "Report to the army commander, before you came, General Yudong sent someone to get fuel." Zhao Yue still felt that she had done something wrong, you must know that Luo Chuan was the supreme commander of this army.
"Adong!" Luo Chuan smiled bitterly, he was still half a beat slower in thinking about the problem, and he was compared to his subordinates again. But even so, Luo Chuan still felt happy. "Oh, that's fine, by the way, the children don't cry, it's hard."
Zhao Yue's face kept changing, and finally she held it for a long time before she spit out a few words. "Thank you, everyone!" After saying that, he ran away quickly.
With hot water, the progress of digging a pit is more than twice as happy, and the hot water does not need much, and after digging the snow, half of the helmet water is poured on the frozen soil, and then the soldiers rush up, and two or three times is a big pit.
The calm of the Hu people did not last long, and in the afternoon of the same day, they showed a posture of encircling on three sides and pressed towards the new city. Outside the city, because of secrecy, no hot water was used, and there were still many unfinished horse pits. Luo Chuan didn't think much about it, and quickly let the soldiers outside the city return to the city. And the work in the city continued.
The Hu army pressed in, and stopped a little distance of 800 paces from the city wall. Fu Jian, who had suffered a big loss from the steam crossbow, was very clear about the attack distance of this weapon. After the Hu people stopped, the formation changed, and the infantry of the rear brigade slowly advanced forward.
"What's that?" Luo Chuan frowned, and those Hu infantry, in a team of ten, pushed forward with huge black shield-like objects. "Crystallization? It shouldn't be possible. "A steam crossbow is not a heavy machine gun, and once the crystallized object in this world is more than two fingers thick, it cannot be shot, but how can crystallized object be so easy to make, or such a large number of shield-like weapons.
The infantry hid behind black shields, as if they really had a life guarantee, and the closer they got, the more daring they became. When it was five hundred steps, the Hu people who were pushing behind worked harder.
"The crossbowmen are all prepared, and I will give you a shuttle." Luo Chuan's eyes were excellent, and when he reached five hundred steps, he could clearly see what Hu Ren was pushing, but it was just wood tied together, and then some black object was painted on the surface. This kind of thing can just give the Hu people on the other side a look of comfort.
The boilers on the city walls were on duty, and one of every three ballistas was kept open. Hearing Luo Chuan's order, the eyes of a group of violent guys suddenly lit up. "I didn't fight a shuttle in the siege yesterday, but I can enjoy it today." "Whoa." The fighters skillfully pulled the safety valve.
The Xia army did not attack at five hundred paces, still did not attack at four hundred paces, and at three hundred and fifty paces. Hu Ren, who was pushing the wooden shield below, was already ready to run wildly, "I didn't expect Xia Ren to be bluffed by us, rush!" ”
"Put!" The other party had just entered the distance of three hundred paces, and when Luo Chuan gave an order, the ballista gunner suddenly shouted excitedly, and the shouts of the soldiers were secondary. More than 20 boilers on duty on the wall, the sound of neat steam spewing out, and the metal sound of crossbow arrows cutting through the muzzle of the cannon are the most beautiful music.
The ballistas roared, and the Hu people also shrank behind the wooden shields. "Bang Bang!" The first crossbow bolt pierced the wooden shield and did not immediately pierce it, but only halfway through. But more bolts whistled, and the wooden shield flew with sawdust, which lasted only a few breaths and began to lose its effect. Hu Ren, who was hiding behind Mu Dun, immediately enjoyed the intimate contact of crossbow arrows.
The human body is not a wooden shield, it does not have that kind of toughness, and a crossbow arrow drills into the cracks in the wood, "flutter flutter." Penetrating the three people in a row, the Hu people in the rear were not in a hurry, and a large number of crossbow arrows roared through the larger and larger holes. There was a trail of blood behind the wooden shield, and the blood did not flow too far, and soon turned into red ice crystals.
"Bring someone to bring the wood in." Wood is also a material, these dozen or so large wooden shields can warm a total of 200 people for a day, even if they are not burned and buried in the snow, they can also play a role.
The Huangxia army ignored the Hu people team eight hundred steps away, and directly opened the city gate, and divided a few hundred people to prepare to collect wood. Unexpectedly, as soon as the soldiers left the city, they saw a strange scene, and several wooden shields began to retreat back quickly.
Luo Chuan's eyes were sharp, and he found some long ropes in the snow, pulling the wooden shield and retreating quickly.
"All back!" Beyond four hundred paces, the steam crossbow could not completely block and protect the soldiers leaving the city, and it was not worth it to bring casualties for a few wooden shields.
"Twenty-three are always open, hehe, I'll see how much fuel you still have." Fu Jian counted the ballistae that fired in the city, he didn't understand the detailed structure of the ballista, but he knew that he knew that if he needed hot gas in the ice and snow, he would naturally need fuel.
"General, the wooden shield has been pulled back."
"Let's go and have a look." Fu Jian came to the wooden shield that he had bothered to pull back, and carefully fiddled with the position that had been pierced by the ballista. "I see. Come on, hurry up and cut down trees. This wooden shield is tied in three layers. I'm going to see you before the evening. ”
"It's the general."
