Chapter 293: The Battle of Perfume (3)

When Richard received the order from Greil, he was commanding the coastal batteries in Hailizi to confront the detachment of the First Fleet. The sea has turned into a sea www.biquge.info of fire, the port facilities have been almost completely destroyed, and only the one where Richard is located is still desperately fighting back from the coastal forts.

Richard knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to save it, and he had already ordered a defensive line to be built on the high ground behind him, and had already arranged a large number of ballistas. If you can't fight at sea, you can still compete on land, that's what Richard thinks.

"Prime Minister, the Great Khan orders you to keep the Great Khan City and keep the northern shore. The First Fleet of the Empire had separated the north and south shores, and now it was left to fight on its own. ”

The commander of the Golden Wolf Cavalry conveyed the order of Gregory to Richard, and after Richard put down his clairvoyance and sighed, he ordered the whole army to retreat to the defensive line, and ordered Uqimai to rush to the north bank of the Meilinchu River to command the defensive operation.

The commander of the First Fleet detachment saw an opportunity and quickly organized a landing, but the landing force was blocked by the defense line of Richard and had to retreat to the sea. The commander of the detachment had no choice but to seal the coast tightly and destroy the coastal batteries one by one. Liu Fanglie left three warships to inspect the Meilinchu River, and most of the fleet retreated to the sea to station.

In the middle of the night, Liu Fanglie was lying on the nautical chart looking for a suitable landing site, when the adjutant general walked into the command room with a soaking wet man.

"Marshal Qiyu, Leng Feng spy has an urgent military intelligence report."

"Speak."

The man took out Leng Feng's waist card and flashed it and said, "General Qiqi, in the branch hall of the Great Khan City of Lower Leng Feng, I am ordered by my hall master to hand over this map to the general. ”

After finishing speaking, he opened the sealed letter box he was carrying, took out the map and presented it with both hands. Liu Fanglie took a look and immediately found a suitable landing site, Luchuan.

"Bingsi, Luchuan is suitable for our army to land, and it is close to Wolf King City. I wonder what the defensive strength is here? ”

"General, Luchuan is only fifty miles away from Wolf King City, close to the coast and there is only one road that can be passed. Bai Rilun built the Luchuan Fort here, and there were 5,000 wolf riders stationed there. Today, after the first battle, the general has increased his troops there by 5,000, and because the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is only afraid that the casualties of our army will increase when attacking Luchuan. ”

"Judging from the map, Fort Luchuan is only five miles from the coast, and it happens to be within the coverage of our army's artillery fire, can't it be bombarded with artillery fire?"

"General, although Fort Luchuan is not far from the coast, the terrain is quite high, similar to the Urakan Defense Line, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the naval artillery to hit such a high place."

"What was the terrain like before Kagawa Fort?"

"Fort Kagawa was a high ground before, and the road was narrow and not suitable for a large army. Moreover, the high mountains and dense forests are not conducive to the exertion of our army's artillery fire. ”

"Are you saying that the Rong Lu didn't clear all the trees and weeds in front of the defensive line?"

"Yes General."

"Hehe, that's easy to do. Star officer, how is the wind going these days? ”

The star officer on duty ran over with the information to report to Liu Fanglie about the weather and wind direction in the past few days, and Liu Fanglie showed a smug smile while listening.

The Celestial Wolf Rider in Luchuan Fort has been eyelid-eyelids for the past few days, a situation that often occurred when he was fighting the Flying Tiger Legion. But this is the rear, even if the navy of the Shenlong Empire is extremely strong, but the warships will never run to the land. Standing on a high place and carefully observing the sea, he saw more than a dozen warships lined up on the sea, and the muzzles of the black holes could be seen clearly in clairvoyance. I had already seen the Imperial Navy's shelling of Koluntai yesterday, and the scene of the flying cannonballs smashing on the ground was really shocking. However, to Koluntai's great fortune, that round of shelling did not even touch the edge of Kagawa Fort. The dense forest in front of Kagawa Fort neutralized the power of the explosion one by one, so no one in Kagawa Fort was injured.

Only then did Koluntai put his heart in his stomach, and he strictly ordered his soldiers to strictly guard the defensive line and not attack, and Koluntai believed that as long as he relied on the advantage of the terrain, he could block the attack of the Imperial Navy. The navy is a strong man at sea, but it is not necessarily on land, and maybe even a wave of wolf riders will not be able to stop the charge.

In the dark night, in the dense forest in front of Luchuan Fort, a group of people dressed in black were quietly approaching the wall of Luchuan Fort, each of them carrying a large bag of things, and the leader of the team was Bingsi. Leng Feng under Bing Si touched the handles under the city wall, and one by one the strong crossbows monitored the wolf riders on the city wall. Behind them, groups of men in black scattered and piled up the packages everywhere, covered them with withered orchid leaves, and quickly retreated. In just one night, a low wall of dead branches and rotten leaves rose in the dense forest in front of Kagawa Fort.

At dawn, when the earth was still in the dark, a strong sea breeze blew, and the pine forest in front of Kagawa Fort made a sound of pine waves. This was the time when people's vigilance was most lax, and coupled with the cover of the sound of pine waves crashing on the shore, the Sky Wolf Cavalry Sentinels on the city wall who were in a state of confusion did not even notice that there was already a group of Imperial marines in black armor approaching under the mountain. Field guns, mortars and thunderbolts are already in place.

Just as the starlight was fading and the sun had not yet risen, blasting bombs and rockets flew into the pine forest with the roar of cannons. With a bang, the flames rose into the air and rushed towards Kagawa Fort with a strong wind.

The loud explosions and the smoke and flames forced the wolf riders on the city wall to retreat. The dense cannonballs that followed exploded the Sky Wolf Rider who escaped from the sea of fire into the air. Groups of marines in sea-soaked capes rushed through the flames under the cover of field guns and mortars with assault rifles and slaughtered into Fort Luchuan. The marines didn't care about slapping the flames on their bodies, and threw themselves directly into the fight, and behind them were the marines of the First Fleet who came up like a tide, and the field guns were also pushed by the marines and gradually entered the Luchuan Fort.

Kokuluntai died, fell on the way out of Kagawa Fort, he was directly hit by a field cannon shell, he and the hundred and ten wolf riders around him flew into the air together, and when he landed, Koluntai only had one head left on the ground gurgling and rolling, until it rolled into the mud puddle on the side of the road.

The seemingly insurmountable Luchuan Fort was easily held in Liu Fanglie's hands in this way, but this fire was indeed fierce enough, and with the help of tens of thousands of cans of fire oil, the front of Luchuan Fort was burned into a white ground. The fire swept past Kagawa Fort and along the mountain, sweeping away all the woods on the side of Kagawa Fort facing Wolf King Castle.

The soldiers of the Marines were also burned a lot, but fortunately, they were well prepared and received timely treatment, coupled with the proximity to the sea, after filling the dragon cart with seawater, the fire in Luchuan Fort was quickly extinguished, and Liu Fanglie established a strong defense line here. Groups of marines entered the camp, piles of materials and ammunition were also sent to Luchuan Fort from the transport ship, and the battle report of Liu Fanglie's capture of Luchuan Fort was also quickly delivered to Wang Meng, the commander-in-chief of the front line of Tianluo City.

"Waha, Fang Lie is really good, the brothers in the navy are stunned to get off to a good start. I said that you land tigers have been preempted by the navy this time. Look at Liu Fanglie, people are also facing an unfavorable terrain, but they are willing to use their brains, doesn't this also break through the defense line at the heights? If Liu Fanglie is capable, we can do it. Let's learn from Liu Fanglie and attack with fire. ”

"Yes, burn them."

The generals agreed in unison, and all preparations were carried out in full swing. Setting fire here is completely different from setting fire to Luchuan Fort, because if you want to start burning from your own land, you must set up a separation zone, otherwise you will not only burn the wolf ride, but also set fire to the mountains and forests of your own department, which will not be good, so the preparation will be longer. Just when Wang Meng was commanding the armies to make pre-war preparations, Liu Fanglie gave the empire another huge surprise. This bold admiral actually attacked the Wolf King City with 20,000 naval officers and men.

In fact, Liu Fanglie fought a time difference, and the remnants of the Kuoluntai did flee to the Wolf King City, so Liu Fanglie did not delay at all, and gathered all the marines on the transport ship to Luchuan Fort, and just pushed the cannon to kill the Wolf King City. On the way, Liu Fanglie set up an ambush circle, and the 30,000 heavenly wolf riders who came in a hurry were killed and wounded, and fled in despair. In this way, Liu Fanglie's artillery had war horses, and the marching speed doubled. The distance of fifty miles is really nothing, and before Bai Rilun mobilized the army to set up a defensive line, Liu Fanglie's 20,000 naval officers and soldiers had already arrived outside the Wolf King City.

The dense artillery fire blew up the Wolf King City to the point that the four gates were closed, and the wolf riders outside the city hid into the Wolf King City like frightened birds, so 20,000 naval officers and soldiers blocked the Wolf King City and more than 100,000 wolf riders bombarded the city indiscriminately. This is not to blame Rilun, nor can it be said that the wolf ride is not brave. This is due to the fact that Liu Fanglie dismantled the naval guns and transported them here in order to strengthen the firepower, and the hundreds of field guns were violent, which made Bai Rilun make a wrong judgment, and he thought that the imperial navy had transported a whole Flying Tiger Army.

To be realistic, Liu Fanglie is making a dangerous move, and it is extremely dangerous. This is the hinterland of the Celestial Wolf Khanate, surrounded by many Celestial Wolf Cavalry, and 20,000 navies are really not enough to stuff the teeth. It's just that Liu Fanglie grasped the timing well, and suppressed the worship of Rilun with a overwhelming momentum, causing the high-level of the entire Heavenly Wolf Khanate to make a wrong judgment and transfer all the garrisons around the Wolf King City to the Wolf King City. As a result, he lost his fighter planes and could only retreat in the city to be beaten passively.

Liu Fanglie is not stupid, at this time of the battle, Liu Fanglie, who is calm on the surface, has long been in his throat. He had already sent out an urgent call for help, and Wang Meng had ordered Heishui Jue to lead 50,000 Flying Tiger troops to board ships at the port of Liaodong and rush to Luchuan Fort.

Liu Fanglie has been on pins and needles in the past few days, and the naval officers and men under his command have been bombarding the Wolf King City day and night, creating more and more momentum for the army to attack the city, but in the past few days, the number of wolf riders who have come to the rescue from Urakan and other cities has increased day by day, Liu Fanglie has transferred the naval officers and soldiers on ten warships here to set up a defensive line to intercept reinforcements, and when the battle was at its most intense, Liu Fanglie was already wearing a helmet and armor and a long knife in person. Fortunately, Liu Fanglie had a large number of artillery pieces and sufficient ammunition to withstand the wave of charges from the Sky Wolf Cavalry reinforcements.

When the loud military horn sounded on the battlefield, and when the battle flag of the Flying Tiger Army appeared on the battlefield, Liu Fanglie, who was covered in blood, sat on the muddy ground with his mouth wide open and panted.

A bag of mare's milk wine was thrown into Liu Fanglie's arms, and Liu Fanglie grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's not good to play prestige on the battleship, you have to compete with us for credit, and you deserve to die of exhaustion. What do you think? The work of the army is not easy to do, right? ”

Liu Fanglie squinted at the smiling Heishui Jue, put down the wine bag and said, "Don't talk to me about that useless." Lao Tzu's ancestors are also a cavalry family, and you don't know where to play when I ride a horse. Also, this marshal is a major general, you dare to be a colonel with me, you are not big or small, be careful that I join you. ”

"Damn, that's how you treat your life-saver? Okay, what's inside, that female military doctor named Hei Shuiling is my cousin, ah. This and this, as the patriarch and brother, must consider the happiness of the younger sister, so I think this matter is still up for debate. ”

"Brother brother, brother is wrong, brother must thank you for saving your life. I also asked my brother to say a few kind words in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

"That's not good, I'm a little colonel, where can I climb high."

"Brother, don't find fault with my brother, okay? Besides, after this battle, it's not certain which of us has a higher rank, isn't it? ”

"I like to hear this, the reinforcements have been defeated, and you should hurry up and sort out the troops, this is the order of the fierce commander. I ordered you to hurry back to the fleet, the naval commander is all piled up with gold, but it is not for you to lose it. The artillerymen and marines left me, and the captains brought me back. Meng Shuai said, there will be a next time I will hit you on the board. Now, the letter and package from my sister-in-law. ”

"Little Lord, don't say anything, I'll go back to the fleet. However, I still have to defend Fort Kagawa, which is our retreat and supply depot, and must be kept. ”

"Okay, let's have a good fight and teach the wolf cubs a lesson."

In fact, the conferral document for the rank of major general of Heishui Jue has arrived in Liaodong, but the war is in a hurry and has not been officially notified to Heishui Jue, so this Heishui Jue and Liu Fanglie are actually at the same level. In addition, Liu Fanglie fell in love with Heishui Ling, a beautiful and generous female military doctor, and his relationship with Heishui Jue was naturally unusual.

The two brothers discussed, and Heishui Jue took over the command of the battle and was responsible for besieging Wolf King City. Liu Fanglie returned to his command position and continued to sweep the coastal areas and both sides of the Meilinchu River. Moreover, with the successive landings of the Flying Tiger Legion, the Imperial Army outside the Wolf King City has reached 120,000 people, and if you want to rescue the Wolf King City, you can only mobilize heavy troops from Urakan.

But in this way, the commander of the Urakan Urakan of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate was in a dilemma, and he had the heart to send troops to the rescue, but there were still nearly 200,000 troops on the opposite side of Urakan. If you don't send troops to rescue, the Wolf King City is in danger, and the Great Khan is also surrounded in the city, how can you do it if you don't save it. Just when Ruba was undecided, Wang Meng made a choice for him. (To be continued.) )
