Chapter 916: The Eve of the Attack
readx;
The war machine rumbled, and in the next few days, Feng Li's division began to deploy troops on a large scale, unlike the previous temptation and retreat, this time, Feng Li's subordinate descendants of the second and third battalions all drove to the front line, Zhou Shuwen, Liang Yi's troops also arrived near Niujiaozhai. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With such a scale of troop transfer, of course, it is impossible to hide the Qiang soldiers in Niujiaozhai, whether it is Ma Hong or Zhong Ziqi, who has not left here, they all know that the Dingzhou soldiers are about to attack. The atmosphere in the Niujiao Village was also tense. Although they have a huge geographical advantage, the prestige of the Dingzhou soldiers still puts them under great pressure. Zhong Ziqi also understood that as long as the war began, it would be followed by an endless attack.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhong!" Ma Hong stood in front of Zuoliang Fenzhai and laughed: "Since my ancestors, we have been stationed here, I don't know how many battles have been met, but there has never been an army that has been able to break my Niujiaozhai, not to mention that now we also have the elite southern army to help, and these excellent ordnance that I have never thought of before, they want to fight my Niujiaozhai, hehe, dream, don't let them touch their heads and break the blood, and the corpses are all over the field, they don't know how powerful our Qiang people are!" ”
Compared with Ma Hong's ease, Zhong Ziqi has more thoughts, why did the Dingzhou Army choose to start a war at this time? And in such an unfavorable situation, in Zhong Ziqi's view, the Dingzhou army to adopt the siege strategy is more appropriate, after all, now hundreds of thousands of southern troops and Ding Zhuang are pouring into the 100,000 mountains, and the logistics pressure is extremely tense, although Qiu Zhi tried to transport some supplies from Bozhou, but under Lu Dalin's deliberate blow and high pressure, it is a drop in the bucket, to no avail, the Dingzhou army should be the first to choose to fight to the death with Luoyang, if they win, they will be able to easily trap the southern army in the 100,000 mountains. And now they have chosen to go head-to-head, there must be something wrong there!
But there was a problem there, and Zhong Ziqi couldn't figure it out if he wanted to. Of course he couldn't think of it, because of the possible consequences of the action of the mountain wind, even the Dingzhou army is only guessing now, and it has not been finally implemented, and when Guo Quan was ready to fight, the mountain wind had already launched an offensive in Qingzhou.
The Dingzhou army boldly set up the camp to the place very close to the Niujiao Village, which is a blatant provocation to the other party, and the people who see the Niujiao Village will never go down the mountain to fight hand-to-hand with the Dingzhou army, of course, if the opponent dares to come out, it is in the arms of the Dingzhou army.
Seeing that the Dingzhou army began to assemble a large trebuchet at the foot of the mountain, Zhong Ziqi said to Ma Hong: "The range of the Dingzhou trebuchet is extremely long, and after the other party is assembled, it will definitely be test-fired, we might as well take a look here!" ”
Ma Hong shook his head, "Actually, you don't have to look at it, you can't hit that far at all!" ”
Tea kung fu, the mountain assembled more than a dozen trebuchets, looking at the forest of trebuchets, Ma Hong said enviously: "Dingzhou's attainments in the direction of ordnance are really unparalleled, I don't know how they do it, this kind of large-scale equipment actually allows them to be disassembled into components one by one, want to be plain, it is really convenient, this fixed city defense and siege equipment was actually used by them in the field, it is really speechless!" ”
Zhong Ziqi is also speechless, in fact, it is not just a trebuchet, Dingzhou is too far ahead in terms of ordnance, thanks to Li Qing in the early days just after a certain amount of power, he vigorously developed miscellaneous science, improved the status of craftsmen, thus promoting the development of the entire military industry, so many years of development, has been far beyond any other forces on this continent, even if the opponent wants to catch up, can not achieve anything in a short period of time, this is the accumulation of time and money, there is no quick reason.
Sometimes Zhong Ziqi really can't figure it out, Li Qing is also a son of a family, what kind of head does he have, only when he was still a general, he can think of this, and he can be strongly promoted, so that there is today's change, is it true that someone is God's talent, and the destiny of God is him?
"Launched, launched!" Someone is yelling.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhong Ziqi saw that the assembled trebuchet emitted a stone projectile weighing about a catty, and the stone projectile drew an arc in the air and shot up, but when it flew two-thirds of the way, it was exhausted and fell, making a booming sound.
"I'll just say, they can't hit me!" Ma Hong laughed, looking like he knew it all in his chest.
At the foot of the mountain, the throwers of Dingzhou gathered together and discussed for a while, replaced with small bullets, two or three pounds of stone bullets with the sound of collapse, and flew up again, this time it flew directly to the left beam, hit a rock, cracked into several pieces, and the stone flakes flew, fortunately, they had already prepared on it, raised their shields, and blocked the gravel one by one.
"It's really hit!" Ma Hong's face changed.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhong Ziqi said: "The power of this small bullet is limited, even if it hits, the threat is not great, and it is impossible to damage our position!" ”
"Let's go, let's go see the right beam!" Zhong Zi period lifts the trail.
In front of Niujiaozhai, there are more and more soldiers and horses gathered, and in the camp, a carriage and a carriage have dragged many models covered with oilcloth, which are guarded by Tian Feng's personal soldiers, and no one can approach.
Guo Quan's big tent, Tian Feng pointed to those carriages, and said: "We have collected all the steel cables we can find, there are not many such steel cables in Ningzhou, fortunately, General Deng's sailors happened to be temporarily anchored in Ningzhou, and I got a lot from their warships, and I even asked you for the steel cables they anchored." ”
Guo Quan nodded, "Next, it's up to Sun Zewu!" ”
"We also dragged the planks used to pave the bridge from Fuchun, and we have done a good job of confidentiality to the greatest extent." Tian Feng said: "Your first battalion also has to be prepared, once the bridge is built, they will be able to rush over as quickly as possible, and they have to bring some heavy equipment, although it is a bridge, but after all, it is hundreds of meters high, whether these soldiers can pass smoothly, I still have some doubts!" ”
"So far, I can only force it through, and I don't hesitate to let everyone fall!" Guo Quandao.
"Sun Zewu, whether this battle can succeed or not depends on your flying eagle!" Qingfeng also looked at Sun Zewu seriously, and said, "Don't lose the prestige of our Supervision Yuan." ”
"Miss, don't worry!" Sun Ze Wudao.
"The first batch of people who pass must be strong in martial arts, I will send Xia Xue and Qiu Ping, as well as Han Yong to you, they are strong in martial arts, they should be able to help you!"
"Miss, Xia Xue and Qiu Ping are your personal guards, let's let them protect you closely!" Sun Zewu dared to say tightly.
Qingfeng shook his head, "I'm staying in the army, can anyone else sneak into the army to assassinate me?" Xu Siyu is dead, and there is a Zhou Yu, I'm afraid I have to protect Zhong Ziqi closely, the last time we didn't kill Zhong Ziqi, I'm afraid Zhou Yu will also become a frightened bird, and he shouldn't come to plot against me. ”
"Miss, let me go too, my martial arts are much higher than all of them!" Han Renjie volunteered.
Sun Zewu smiled, "Old General Han, General Xiao Han can go, you can't go!" ”
Han Renjie was furious, "What do you mean, why can't I go, my little cub's martial arts are all taught by me, and they are much worse than me!" It's you, but I'm the enemy of Shihe? ”
Sun Zewu glanced at Han Renjie's upright stomach with bad intentions, and said with a smile: "I'm worried that I finally built a suspension bridge, and as soon as you go up, you will crush me with a click, so isn't my effort in vain?" ”
"...... you" Han Renjie was so angry that his face turned white, but there was a burst of laughter in the big tent, but the tension just now was swept away, seeing that everyone looked at his fat belly, Han Renjie touched his upright belly helplessly, and exhaled heavily.
Tian Feng smiled and said to Sun Zewu: "It's almost time, let's go, let's go, at this time, when the sky is dark, we can go to the lonely peak, and then find the opportunity to start building a bridge!" ”
"Yes!" Sun Zewu gave a military salute to everyone in the tent, "Everyone, just wait for good news!" ”
In order to confuse the opponent as much as possible, more than 1,000 special soldiers led by Sun Zewu went first, and the first battalion of the Fengli Division led by Wang Zhen would set off after nightfall. The planks used to pave the bridge were carried by the 1st Battalion.
It took less than two hours from the starting place, and there was no road to pass, and there were dense woods in front of them, and several special opponents held large knives in their hands, and cut a path out of the forest, and every half an hour, another team of people came up to open the way, so as to ensure physical strength, even so, when everyone arrived at the bottom of the lonely peak, it was still an hour later than expected, and the sky was already dark.
"There is no road up the mountain, and this mountain is extremely dangerous, it is estimated that we will climb up until midnight!" Sun Zewu frowned and said, "In other words, we only have time in the middle of the night to build a bridge and pass!" ”
Han Yong said: "I think we will select a group of capable people to go up first, first build the steel rope, build a bridge, there is no need for many people, there are hundreds of people enough, and half of them can be sent over there, so that as soon as the soldiers behind go up the mountain, they can start to deliver!" ”
Xia Xue nodded and said: "This method will work, Han Yong, I, Qiu Ping, the three of us will take a hundred and ten people to go first, Zewu, you choose a hundred of the best soldiers for us!" “
The Flying Eagle Brigade has been following Sun Zewu for many years, and for them, only Sun Zewu is more familiar than his wife, and in a moment's effort, more than 100 special soldiers were called out, most of them were officers.
"This is already the essence of my flying eagle." Sun Ze Wudao.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Han Yong took a ring of steel cables from a soldier's back, put it on his body, and climbed up the mountain in the first place.
