Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wolf Soul

The sky was bright, Zhao Qing looked at the forward position deployed behind the city gate, and was very satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This position was all according to his conception, in line with the arrangement of the musket team, the flat ground was laid with bricks, piled with sandbags, and a defensive fortification was formed, so that the fortifications that were more than one person high were now three circles outside three circles in a semi-encircled form aimed at the city gate, and the inner passages were complex, the alleys were vertical and horizontal, and the formed musket team became the most terrible meat grinder in this era of cold weapons.

There is only one entrance to the city gate, unless the entire Ningjiang Prefecture falls, they will definitely not be attacked on their backs, and if they want to capture such a fortification through the narrow city gate, the Hu people can only use their flesh and blood to exhaust the ammunition of the forbidden army.

Even if their positions fell, they could calmly retreat to the more complex residential areas behind them, dragging the enemy into brutal white-knuckle street fighting. At the beginning of the establishment of Ningjiang Prefecture, it was established in accordance with the specifications of the military city, and most of the streets and markets in it were arranged in a T-shape, and the streets were straight, which was the most suitable for street fighting, but the Hu people would inevitably have to suffer heavy casualties, and all the houses and streets in Ningjiang Prefecture would be destroyed in order to really take the city. In this way, even if Ningjiang Prefecture is obtained, it is in ruins.

However, Zhao Qing is confident that as long as the enemy does not have an outrageous firearms army that can exchange fire with him, then this position will never fall.

After yesterday, the news from the front-line spies became more and more severe, Yang Zaixing mobilized the whole city to start arranging the city defense, in addition to the artillery bed crossbow that was originally arranged, the boulders necessary for defending the city, the wood, and hot oil are also indispensable, which all require labor to make temporarily. However, fortunately, many of the people in Ningjiang Prefecture are half-military and half-civilian existence, the history of this city is only ten years, among which the people in addition to the people who come and go to do business and reside, there are a large number of soldiers, these people inherit the hard-working quality of the soldiers, the work efficiency is very high, and the martial arts, proficient in cavalry and archery, when necessary, can also be converted from the people to the force.

Soon after they were stationed in the camp, a man brought bowls and delivered food. Eating a hot meal, looking at the temporary sheds that were constantly built along the city wall, Zhao Qing had a feeling that the wind and rain were coming, his body trembled involuntarily, and he stroked the roaring young general beside him, and his heart was a little settled.

After chewing a few bites, he found that Meng Heng and the others around him had put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up solemnly, and hurriedly looked back, but when he saw a team of forbidden troops coming, the person led by the dragon and tiger step, so powerful, it was Yang Zaixing who was wearing armor.

"See the general!"

Zhao Qing also hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to greet Yang Zaixing.

"Haha, Brother Zhao, I originally thought that the introduction of you into the army was to protect you, but I didn't expect that in just a few ****, I actually tamed the tiger and wolf division under my command into a person with a hidden head and a tail, which is really amazing!" Yang Zaixing had a very loud voice, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Qing in his words, but his tone was extremely ridiculous, and several soldiers burst into laughter.

"Hehe, the little brother just saw that the soldiers of the forbidden army had empty weapons but could not use them properly, and only after regretting that he began to try out new combat methods, Brother Yang can see the wartime style of our battalion when he arrives." Zhao Qingman didn't care, they called each other brothers after drinking that day, and the relationship was quite close.

Yang Zaixing smiled dumbly, he personally stationed at the main gate of the West City, his strategic position was much more important than this East Gate, as soon as the war started, how could he have the leisure to run through most of the city to him to see how Zhao Qing played. He only waved his hand and said, "Originally, I was still worried that your forward battalion would be alone at the east gate and the troops would be unbearable, but I was relieved to see you so confident." But you must not be careless, no matter what happens on the city wall or even at the city gate, your forward battalion should not interfere, just stick to this place, no matter who does not let anyone go, the stakes are very high, this must be remembered. ”

Seeing Yang Zaixing so solemn, Zhao nodded lightly, raised his eyes slightly and crossed Yang Zaixing, looking at the tall city gate five hundred meters away, and instantly thought a lot.

There are a lot of variables before the battle for the defense of Ningjiang Prefecture City has begun, Zhao Qing does not know the specific situation of the ancient city battle, but he also feels that Yang Zaixing's arrangement is very strange, and the most elite troops are actually used after the city is broken. You must know that the morale of the ancient war is the most important, especially the siege and defense station, if you really want victory, then do your best to resist the enemy outside the city wall is the best policy, when you accumulate and break the city, the attacker's momentum is unstoppable, and the loss of geographical advantage is very unfavorable to the defender.

However, looking at the mercenaries on the city wall, coupled with the recent analysis of Meng Hui, this Zhonghu invasion seems to be chaotic, but in fact, there are people who are willing to manipulate it behind the scenes, and then think of the weapon leak incident some time ago, Zhao Qing realized that this war may not be as simple as it seems, Chai Yi made an exception to call the servants to guard Ningjiang Prefecture, and I am afraid that there is another deep meaning behind it.

However, these are not what Zhao Qing needs to consider now, he only knows that his army has mastered the most advanced weapons of this era, and he occupies a favorable location, and he urgently needs a victory to prove himself and carry forward the reputation of the musketeers.

"Well, don't even a fly fly past me." Zhao Qing quipped, causing another burst of laughter.

Yang Zaixing didn't laugh along, but patted Zhao Qing's shoulder heavily and said, "Take care." Then he made a symbolic round, and then led the forbidden army away.

Yang Zaixing walked along the street to the west gate, at this time there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on the street, but it was not a forbidden army, but a mercenary who was not assigned to the city wall defense task, they were responsible for maintaining the logistics order in the city.

Yang Zaixing did not squint, and walked along the street expressionlessly, until he walked into a remote alley, a sturdy man swaggered to Yang Zaixing's side, but no forbidden army stopped him.

When Yang Zaixing saw that person, he tilted his head slightly and said, "If your wolf soul is going to attack, how sure are you that position to take?" ”

"It's impossible." The answer is crisp.

Yang Zaixing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the first time I've heard these four words from you, the leader of the wolf soul, is the musket team really so terrifying?" There are more than ten people with imperial equipment in your wolf soul, and the rest are all from the East Palace class, so there is nothing such an elite division can do with them? ”

Except for his vigorous body, that person has no characteristics, making it difficult to imagine that such a person who can not be found after falling into the crowd is actually the leader of the mysterious Wolf Soul Mercenary Group, and listening to Yang Zaixing's words, the background of this Wolf Soul Mercenary Group is extremely not simple.

Through these observations, this Zhao Qing really has great talents, and he easily transformed the barrel, stabilized the trajectory, and solved the century-old problem of the ordnance superintendent. After the roaring young general with a stable trajectory became a scale, the lethality was really terrifying, and they also used a three-person configuration to greatly enhance the continuity of firepower, not to mention our wolf soul, which army in the world could capture that position in such a small place? It is only possible to capture the city by using several times the heavy infantry to advance layer by layer at any cost, or by using siege weapons such as artillery trebuchets and other weapons, otherwise it will only be possible to wait for the musketeers to run out of ammunition. This transformed roaring young general is that I can't put it down, and I will inevitably equip the wolf soul with a hand in the future. As he spoke, the leader of the wolf soul took out a firearm from his arms, which was none other than the roaring young general.

"Haha, it seems that I really made a name for myself by letting him mess around in the army, no wonder even someone as arrogant as Meng Heng has a lot of respect for him." Yang Zaixing stroked his beard very proudly. In fact, the army of that era was strictly controlled by the generals, especially the training method of elite soldiers, and it was very unrealistic for Zhao Qing to suddenly change the cavalry to a musket team with a pat on the head, unless it was approved by the superiors, but Yang Zaixing had already greeted Meng Hui, he just wanted to see if Zhao Qing could use his knowledge of the Guigu to bring beneficial changes to the army, and now it seems to be very successful.

"It's just that this Zhao Qing's background is really weird, I secretly checked, Zhao Qi's son has already died, and there have never been rumors of a master in Huanhe County, as for the land of Ghost Valley, his statement is to cut off the possibility of our investigation." The leader of the wolf soul retracted the roaring young general, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Doesn't that just show that he is indeed from the Ghost Valley, the mysterious place of the Ghost Valley, how can mortals be allowed to peep." Yang Zaixing snorted coldly, "Lord Chai has already confirmed it, and I don't believe it, I don't understand why your personnel supervisor is always holding on to it, could it be that Zhao Qing himself is misbehaving?" Or did his appearance touch anyone's interests? ”

"I have already sent someone to send the secret medicine of the Ghost Valley to Bianjing, it doesn't matter whether the identity of Zhao Qing's Ghost Valley Sect is true or false, the point is that this should not be said through the mouth of Lord Chai." The wolf soul leader's face was cold, "After this battle, I also ask Lord Zhouzhi to tell me that Liaodong is in danger, please Lord Chai mercenaries respect themselves!" After saying that, he left without looking back, and disappeared into the deep alleys.

Yang Zaixing stopped, his face was gloomy and terrifying, his hands behind his back were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and after a long time, he snorted angrily and led his soldiers to leave this dark street in a hurry.
