Chapter Seventy-One: Active Preparations

As a general of the Monte army, Dadar's marksmanship was quite accurate, and he was seen skillfully loading ammunition, compacting it with a whole strip, opening the fire sickle and hammer, and aiming slightly with the flat end of both hands. With a crisp gunshot, the smoke after the gunpowder burned erupted from the muzzle, and Cheng Hub, who was riding on the horse in front of him, trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and rolled over and fell under the horse with a wave of his hand.

Losing control, the horse slowly stopped, it slowly turned back, and gently touched Cheng Hub's limp body with the horse's mouth, as if calling for its master. Cheng Hub moved slightly, obviously not dead yet, but he was already seriously injured and no longer had the strength to get on his horse and escape.

Rushing to the front, Dadar jumped down with a beautiful turnover, and soon walked in front of Cheng Hub, holding a revolver with a metallic luster next to Cheng Hub, he couldn't put it down and wiped it with his sleeve. Seeing that Cheng Hub was not completely dead, a smile appeared on Dadar's face, and he aimed the pistol he had just captured at Cheng Hub's head and pulled the trigger violently.

With a crisp gunshot, Cheng Hub's head was pierced in an instant, his limbs trembled slightly, and then he didn't move again. When Cheng Hub's horse heard the gunshot, he was a little frightened and ran a few steps into the distance, but he didn't get too far away.

Dadar happily put the pistol in his arms, and then strode towards Cheng Hub's war horse. This war horse was reluctantly pulled by Dadar to hold the reins, seeing this divine horse, Dadar Ha Lang Ha Da smiled, as a cavalryman, there is nothing more exciting than getting a good war horse.

Lan Fang's army was annihilated, Cheng Hub died, and this shocking news has not yet been transmitted. At this time, Fang Xiaoyu in Ulan City was instructing the blacksmiths to create their own secret weapons, four-corner nails and mines.

The four corners of the nail have four sharp corners, and the three corners on each side are equilateral triangles, so no matter how the four corners are placed, one of the sharp corners is towards the naught.

The principle of a mine and a grenade is similar, but the charge is larger, and Fang Xiaoyu is doing his best to prepare these things these days.

"Young master, it's not good, the news has been revealed." Zhang Tong ran in angrily. "How did the news come about?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised. Zhang Tong said: "The main force of Lan Fang's army has been defeated, and Cheng Yu is dead. The news came from the defeated soldiers who had fled, and now that the city was in disarray, many soldiers had begun to flee south from their troops. ”

Hearing that the troops in the city were beginning to collapse, Fang Xiaoyu was shocked, once the garrison collapsed, the Ninth Brigade and two thousand Iron Blood Guards in his hands alone would not be enough to resist the Monte army. Thinking of the possible Monte army, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Immediately gather the officers and soldiers of the Iron Blood Guard and the Ninth Brigade, let them go and block the four gates, and let Egger come to see me." Zhang Tong immediately obeyed.

With Egger and other ten elven snipers and a thousand iron-blooded guards, Fang Xiaoyu quickly rushed to the south gate, and Feng Shichang, the commander of the first regiment of the Ninth Brigade who arrived in advance, greeted him with a sweat: "Brigade commander, the form is no longer controllable, Xia Houde and all the official positions above the brigade commander have almost run away, and these soldiers are also planning to escape, and my people are almost unable to support it." ”

Seeing the chaos under the city, Fang Xiaoyu took out his pistol and fired three shots into the sky, and the following immediately fell silent. Fang Xiaoyu shouted loudly: "I am Fang Xiaoyu, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, now I order you to return to your posts immediately, if there are any more people who escape from the battle, correct the law on the spot." ”

Someone shouted below: "Why should we listen to you, the big officials have all run away, do you want us to die?" Fang Xiaoyu shouted: "They ran away from their own national law sanctions, and if you run away now, you are deserters, and I have the right to immediately enforce military law." ”

Fang Xiaoyu knew that he must not be soft now, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and said: "All the officers and soldiers of the Iron Blood Guard and the Ninth Brigade obey the order, raise their guns and aim, and shoot them immediately if they do not return to their posts within five minutes." Fang Xiaoyu's soldiers suddenly agreed, and pointed the guns in their hands at the rebels under the city.

Seeing the guns raised on the city wall, most of the people below began to be a little afraid, and finally some people were afraid to retreat, and some people would follow if they took the lead, and soon more and more people left, but there were still hundreds of people who stood at the gate of the city and refused to leave, Fang Xiaoyu found that there were four brigade commanders inside.

One of the brigade commanders said in a loud voice: "Fang Xiaoyu, why did you order us, I am also the brigade commander, I am not your subordinate, now I want to go out of the city on business, you open the city gate immediately." ”

Several other brigade commanders also responded, and their cronies coaxed one after another, asking Fang Xiaoyu to open the door. Fang Xiaoyu looked at them coldly and said, "Leaving the defense area without an order is a deserter, when the time comes, open fire." ”

With Fang Xiaoyu's order, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and those brigade commanders and their cronies didn't expect Fang Xiaoyu to really fire, and they were immediately put down by surprise, and the rest of the people began to find a place to hide, and returned fire with the weapons in their hands.

However, the Predators used lever-operated rifles with thirteen-round magazines, which were extremely fast, and the deserters were quickly suppressed in the dense rain of bullets.

Fang Xiaoyu looked at the few brigade commanders and their cronies who were hiding in the corner of the wall and fighting back from time to time, turned his head and said coldly to Egg: "It's up to you now, I don't want to see people in the city who exceed my official position, those brigade commanders must die." ”

Egg nodded, and scattered with ten elven snipers, each looking for their own target, and the crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and a cloud of blood burst out on the heads of the brigade commanders almost at the same time.

Three hours later, Fang Xiaoyu had completely controlled the entire Ulan City, except for all the officials above the division level who had already fled after hearing the news, the remaining few brigade commanders were killed by Egg. In order to better control the army, Egger had an idea and ordered the snipers to kill the regiment commander and battalion commander who were not Fang Xiaoyu's side, which means that except for the ninth brigade, there are no officers with colonel-level epaulettes in Ulan City.

Fang Xiaoyu gathered all the people from the other troops and found that there were more than 10,000 people, which were still blocked in time, and nearly 20,000 people were missing.

Fang Xiaoyu handed these people over to the three regiment commanders of the Ninth Brigade, and asked them to break up the establishment of these soldiers, organize them into the Ninth Brigade respectively, and begin to conduct pre-war training. The reorganization was carried out by the three regiment commanders separately, and Fang Xiaoyu led the iron-blooded guards and the people in the city out of the city to set up defensive positions.

The people were recruited by Fang Xiaoyu to deepen and widen the moat, and the Iron and Blood Guards went to lay mines near the mountain pass and sprinkled four-corner nails on the way to go. The people at the border have all suffered from the burning, killing and looting of the Monte people, and when they knew that the Monte army was about to be killed, their enthusiasm for work was quite high, and they did not need Fang Xiaoyu to urge them to work hard.

Five days passed quickly, and in addition to collecting more than 3,000 defeated soldiers who had fled back from the Monte Empire, Fang Xiaoyu also got a message that Marshal Bayan of the Monte Empire personally led 200,000 troops and was coming towards Ulan City, which was not too far from here.

After laying more than 2,000 mines that had just been rushed out, Fang Xiaoyu ordered the Iron Blood Guards to escort the people into the city immediately.

At noon, the dust rose in the distance, and the army of the Monte Empire had already approached the city, due to the hard work of the people in the past few days, Fang Xiaoyu at this time had already made all preparations.

Fang Xiaoyu not only laid a lot of mines, but also pulled all the more than 100 cannons in stock onto the city wall, and Fang Xiaoyu sent all the dozens of artillery collected from the deserters to the gun position.

The operation of these front-loading guns is easy to learn, and with those dozens of veterans leading, Fang Xiaoyu will send them hundreds of soldiers who have just learned to fire cannons, and the personnel on the gun position will basically be enough. Although those novices who have just learned how to shell are inaccurate, in the face of the Mont cavalry in a pile, as long as they find the general direction, they will definitely be able to kill and injure the enemy, and it will basically not affect the power.

Bayange rode his horse among the hordes of cavalry and leisurely advanced towards the city of Ulan. After eliminating Cheng Yu's brigade of Lan Fang's army, Bayanger was a little complacent, he thought that there were only some logistics troops left on the border line, and there was no combat effectiveness at all, and as long as one charge could occupy Ulan City.

When they occupy Ulan City, they will face the endless plain, there is no danger to defend, and the interior of the Lanfang Empire will be ravaged by them like a naked woman. The plains are conducive to cavalry warfare, and the Monte cavalry will be able to gallop there, and once they get there, the Monte Empire will win.

"Marshal, there is Ulan City in front." A cavalry officer pointed at the huge black object in front of him with his horsewhip and said, "That is the wall of Ulan City."
