Chapter 65: Fighting Fuyuan Again
The long horn sounded again outside the Fuyuan fortress, the basket sky was blue and the grass was green, and the scenery outside the fortress was still pleasant, but unfortunately on the green grassland, it was not the leisurely cattle and sheep wandering, the singing shepherds, but the golden iron horse, rolling iron flow. The breath of slaughter tarnished the heavens and the earth, and the war came again.
This is a life-and-death struggle between two peoples, a life-and-death struggle between two civilizations, which will not stop until one side falls. Li Qing stood on the top of the fortress, looking at the camp of the grassland coalition army ten miles away, his face was grim, and after a month, he saw the military flag again. But this time, both sides are in a battle, and they are going to fight in a dignified manner.
30,000 horses, including 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 soldiers, involving more than 10 grassland tribes, from the top of the fortress, you can vaguely see the large siege equipment in the camp. Li Qing clenched his fists, come on, let me see how the eagle on the grassland folded its wings under my Fuyuan fortress.
There will definitely be no battle today, Wanyan Bulu, who has just set up camp, needs to explore the deployment of Fuyuan, and the soldiers also need to be repaired, and tomorrow, the war will officially begin. The empty meadow in front of you will be filled with corpses, and blood will stain the land red again.
"Wang Qinian!"
"The last general!"
"With your troops going out of the city to fight, lining up behind the breastwork to meet the enemy, as the front-line combat unit of the headquarters, can you withstand it?" Li Qing asked sharply. Wang Qinian has the most veterans, the entire army has been on the battlefield, has seen blood, and has experience in frontal battles with barbarians, so the most difficult task Li Qing handed over to him.
"Rest assured, general, even if my left flank fights to the last soldier, it will never lose its position to the enemy." Wang Qinian said loudly, and at the same time glanced at Feng Guo and Jiang Kui proudly, and the task of facing the enemy in this first battle fell on his head again.
"Feng Guo, your right flank guards the main city, and at the same time, long-range weapons must give strong support to Wang Qinian's troops, and at the same time, they will be on top at any time when the royal troops need to replace the battle."
Feng Guo stood up and clenched his fists, "The last general will obey the order." ”
"Jiang Kui! Your cavalry is on standby, ready to launch a counter-charge against the besieging enemy to relieve the pressure on the royal army. ”
"The last will understand."
Li Qingsen glanced at his generals sternly, "Everyone, the next period of time is likely to be the saddest period of our lives, but no matter how sad it is, it will not be as difficult as when the battalion is selected to defend the city, this time the enemy has made a lot of preparations, but why don't we always prepare for this battle, this is a big battle related to our life and death, meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, as long as we persist to the end, the victory will eventually belong to us." ”
"Ten thousand victories in the ever-winning camp!" The generals stood and chanted at the same time.
"General, what about me?" A voice below carefully reminded Li Qing, but it was the biggest mountain wind, and seeing that all the generals had tasks, but nothing happened to him, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. "General, although my scout team has suffered heavy casualties, it can still fight."
Li Qing smiled slightly, "Captain Guo, you have another appointment, and Director Qingfeng will interview you later." ”
Guo Feng glanced at the smiling femme fatale beside Li Qing, and couldn't help but shudder, I was afraid that it was not a good thing.
The generals on both sides stayed up all night.
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight were projected on the roof of the top floor of the fortress, the drums in the opposite camp sounded, with the earth-shattering drums, a group of soldiers and horses came out of the battalion, lined up outside the camp, and after a while, a neat square array was formed, and in the rumbling drums of the Chinese army, slowly advanced forward. And in the fortress, from the main city of Fuyuan's wide open gate, Wang Qinian's left wing of the warriors also lined up, ran to the chest-high low wall, standing quietly with spears, in front of them, there are three deep and wide trenches of several meters each, this is the death trench set up by the Changsheng battalion for the grassland coalition army, if you want to cross these three trenches, you have to take out a considerable number of human lives to fill.
Advancing to two meters from the fortress, the steppe coalition army stopped advancing at the sound of horns, and on the high command platform, Wanyan Bulu stood in the center, and beside him, the generals led by Nokia and Wanyan Jitai were divided left and right.
"It seems that Li Qing has made a lot of preparations, his way of defending the city is very different from other generals of the Dingzhou Army, and he actually led the army out of the city and fought according to the city, which was beyond the expectations of the old man."
Wanyan Jitai sneered: "This arrogant guy came to know that our army is powerful, and before our iron cavalry, no one could stop us. ”
Wan Yan Buru glanced at him dissatisfied, "Have you forgotten the fiasco of the last time you fought against the Changsheng Camp so quickly?" Although this army is a new army, it is very skillful in the tactics of breaking through the cavalry. ”
"Last time it was just an accident, the child was unprepared and lost, this time the child has a strategy to break the enemy." Wanyan Jitai blushed.
"Shut up!" Wan Yan Buru shouted: "There are only up and down in front of the army, and there is no father and son." ”
"Yes, my lord, the last general will know that he is wrong." Wanyan Jitai replied with a chest straight.
"Lord Zuo Colonel, you have to fill in these trenches and rush to the front of the Weibao on the opposite side, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people to fill in!" Nokia looked worriedly at the three long trenches in the distance that encompassed the entire Fort of Guards.
Wan Yan Bulu nodded, "Yes, but there will always be deaths in battle, we use Meng Chong vehicles, siege vehicles, and large shield soldiers to cover the foot soldiers, digging and filling the trenches." ”
"The Yongxie Division, the Wuliang Division, and the Karka Department are the vanguard, preparing to attack. After the catapult formed out in three divisions, it slammed into the chest wall behind the enemy's fort and the trench to cover the three divisions. ”
"Yes, my lord!" The leaders of the three tribes lined up, stepped down from the command platform, and drove their horses to their own people. These three tribes are mainly pawns this time, and they are responsible for the task of the main siege soldiers.
Soon, three soldiers lined up, not broadswords, but shovels and sacks, and after an order from the leaders, the shovels flew and filled the sacks with dirt. Behind them, catapults were slowly being pushed out by the soldiers, and the Mengchong vehicles and siege engines were ready to go.
The Mengchong car is covered with cowhide, and dozens of soldiers can be hidden under the car, which can effectively resist bows and arrows, but the protection against powerful crossbows such as huge stone bullets and eight-bull crossbows is insufficient. The siege vehicle is about a few meters high, divided into two layers, the soldiers stand on the siege vehicle, advance it to the city wall when attacking the city, the car is arranged with a powerful crossbow, although the power is not as good as the eight-bull crossbow, but it also requires several soldiers to work together to pull away, the range is extremely long, can effectively suppress the eight-bull crossbow.
Seeing that his subordinates were quickly ready, Wan Yan Bulu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the drum and beat it personally, and said loudly: "This king beats the first drum of this attack for all the warriors, and the warriors of all the tribes will move forward bravely and take Fuyuan." The raised arm fell heavily, and the drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The siege infantry let out a cry in unison, carrying sacks and shields, and rushed forward with their might, and behind them, the Mengchong chariot and the siege chariot slowly followed, and the ropes of the catapult creaked and straightened, and with a command, the stone rain flew to the fort and the breastwork below.
The offensive began.
