Text: The Great Power Struggle_Chapter 237 The Destruction of the Country

After quickly assembling more than 1,000 catapults, they began to smash towards the city wall in front of them. [Ran^Text^Library] Thousands of boulders flew into the pass in an instant, and suddenly, the city wall swayed, and the city was full of smoke. Many boulders did not hit the city wall, but fell into the pass. However, this is not a big deal, more than a thousand catapults, not bad for this wave, sooner or later will collapse the city wall.

At this time, the catapults placed on the city walls by the Buni* team also began to respond to the 3rd attack of the Beichen Army. Although the number is not as large as that of the Beichen Army, there are only two or three hundred. However, because of the large number of Beichen troops, the defenders just smashed into the dark place. In contrast, the catapults of the Buni Kingdom were all arranged on the city walls. It was not a simple matter to hit the city wall in the first place, let alone hit the catapult on the city wall.

Compared with the two, the Beichen Army obviously suffered too serious losses. More than 1,000 catapults attacked the city walls with all their might, or attacked the opponent's catapults. But the effect was really bad, even if the city wall did not collapse, even the defenders' catapults only destroyed a dozen vehicles. The most important thing is that the Beichen Army paid almost a hundred catapults, and the gap between the pay and the gain is too great.

Yue Fei frowned and looked at it for a while, and said, "Pass the order, let the servant army attack directly, and all kinds of engineering weapons will be supplied." ”

After receiving Yue Fei's order, the soldiers immediately turned over their horses and ran to the side of the standard-bearer. Subsequently, the standard-bearer and the standard-bearer of the servant army began to make contact. It didn't take long for an army of 500,000 servants to push hundreds of nest carts and more siege ladders, slowly moving forward.

It's not that all the servant troops are slow and leisurely, and there are many people who carry simple ladders and charge quickly. Otherwise, the Guangda army would have almost killed tens of thousands of people if they ran under the city wall.

The siege battle was very tragic, and the arrows shuttling back and forth in the air ruthlessly harvested human lives one by one. The defenders of the city were constantly defending the army, making the servant army miserable. The servant army could only choose to keep rushing upwards, and the city gate had been blocked. If you want to enter the pass, you can only choose to storm the city wall. After following the ladder to the city wall, the pass is broken.

The walls of more than ten meters high are not so easy to climb, at least many people have been knocked down from the ladder and smashed into pulp. However, the servants did not back down, and the strict military discipline forced them to continue climbing the ladder. For a moment, the servants who fell from the ladder were like dumplings.

Yue Fei saw all this in his eyes, and the casualties of the 500,000 servant soldiers who besieged the city were already not small. However, the siege battle is like this, the Beichen army is also in a hurry, and now is not the time for Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The servant army still needs to continue the attack, and perhaps have a chance to climb the walls. Even if you don't climb the walls, you can still contribute to the next siege.

The fierce siege battle continued, and one by one the servants fell to the ground. It's just that the pass in front of him is still standing, and there is no appearance of falling at all.

Just as the servant army was attacking the city, on the sea more than three hundred miles away from the capital of the Buni Kingdom, a super large fleet was moving rapidly. This fleet is the main force under the jurisdiction of the Beichen National Naval Division. There are more than 3,000 warships, including 72 fourth-class building ships, 480 third-class vehicles and ships, and countless other ships and fighting ships.

Behind the fleet warships, more than 2,000 transport ships followed. The transport ships were loaded with grain, grass, armor and weapons. This time, the sailors of Beichen Kingdom are going to fight a landing battle, so some equipment armor is still indispensable.

As for the dozens of first- and second-class warships in the Buni country, and the sailors of less than 10,000 people, they were directly ignored by Li Ancheng. At present, although the scale of Beichen Kingdom's naval division does not meet the standards of a naval power, no one's navy dares to come to trouble Beichen Kingdom's naval division. After all, in the final analysis, it is also thousands of warships and more than 100 sailor troops. Even if it is a country that is fully committed to developing its navy, it is absolutely thankless to fight the Beichen National Naval Division.

The command of thousands of warships was very troublesome, especially now in the age of sailing ships, there were no radios, and even less telephones. The only way to contact is the flag language, but there are many warships, and sometimes there are many warships that can't see the flag language. Therefore, of the thousands of warships, only seventy-two building ships could be used as the vanguard, and the rest of the ships were all followed.

"General, we'll be able to see the coastline this afternoon. After logging in, we still need to travel 200 miles to reach the capital of the Buni Kingdom! A lieutenant said to Li Ancheng.

Li Ancheng thought for a moment and asked, "Don't worry about the sea, those small sampans in the Buni country are not to worry about at all." The only thing to consider is whether there are soldiers and horses on the coast of Bunny?"

"Well, General, there shouldn't be any. If the Buni Nation guesses that we will attack from the sea, then we should be able to spot the Buni Nation's reconnaissance ships as well. However, until now we have not seen a single ship of the Buni Kingdom, which means that the enemy does not know that we are at sea! ”

"Your analysis is also reasonable, by the way, the day before yesterday, the military intelligence bureau sent a message that after we landed, only by defeating a city that was blocking the road could we really face the enemy's capital. You arrange to dismantle some of the catapults on the ship. After landing, it will be transported to land. Siege warfare, it won't work without heavy weapons! ”

"No! Then let's go down and arrange it first! ”

When he was the only one left in the cabin, Li Ancheng suddenly frowned. His eyes were fixed on the map, and his mind was thinking about some mess. After a while, Li Ancheng ran into the quilt and fell asleep with his head covered.

It was now about ten o'clock in the morning, and it would take nearly ten hours for the army to reach the coast. This time is just enough time for me to sleep so that I can mentally command the troops at night. As for whether something will happen to the army, Li Ancheng feels that he has nothing to worry about. In this sea area, the wind and waves are calm, and if you want to capsize the ship, it requires very high skill.

Thousands of ships sailed in unison, with dark clouds, masts and sails covering the sky.

The Beichen Navy's sailors came from the distant sea, which the Buni Kingdom did not yet know. Soon he will find out, though. It's just that when he knows, the Buni Kingdom can probably also be declared destroyed by the Beichen Kingdom.

It's December, and at eight o'clock, the temperature has dropped a lot, and it's already dark. Above the wide sea, there is no longer the spectacular scenery of the 100 days. Only the giant beast in the darkness lay dormant on the surface of the sea, ready to show its fangs.

Although it was already dark outside, the cabin where Li Ancheng was still bright and bright. At this time, Li Ancheng was thinking about what would happen after the landing, and the 1 million sailors must leave 400,000 people on the warships after the landing. This will also prevent someone from coming suddenly, and the sailors will not be able to fight.

400,000 sailors were able to operate so many warships to fight, but in this way, the number of troops who went to attack the enemy's royal capital was suddenly greatly reduced. Should we keep so many soldiers to guard the ships, or should we concentrate a large force to attack the enemy's capital?

Attacking the enemy's royal capital is the greatest wish of being a soldier. As long as the enemy's capital is defeated, not only wealth is indispensable, but even the official king will not be stingy. Li Ancheng has been struggling with this, it's difficult!

At this moment, a general walked into the cabin quickly, saluted and said: "General, our army is close to the shore, but now it is too dark, and the landing ship is easy to run aground!" Do you think we'll wait until it's dark?"

"Is the hydrotopography of the shore here complicated?" Li Ancheng asked with a frown. Now all the generals of the Beichen Army know that the troops do not have much food, and they need to quickly solve the Buni country. If the landing cannot begin tonight, it will take a day for the landing soldiers to come ashore tomorrow. Moreover, in the evening, I didn't know if the Buni Kingdom had received news that the army was preparing to land. Once the Buni Kingdom knew about it and deployed troops to block the landing of its own army, it would be troublesome.

This is also why Li Ancheng bypassed the place where the sailor of the Buni Kingdom was located and ran into such a pimple. Landing here, when the Buni National Sailors found themselves, their own army was almost all landed. But the premise is that you have to start landing tonight, otherwise what are you wasting so much energy for?

"Landing, first send the first landing ships to mark the location of the nearby reefs. Subsequently, the rest of the troops quickly made a landing, and we were in a hurry! ”

"No!"

It didn't take long for a group of small boats to be released from the large ones. The first batch of 2,000 small boats, carrying more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Beichen Army, slowly rowed towards the shore in the dark night.

Suddenly, a small boat clicked loudly, and it suddenly split in half, and the ten soldiers carried on it instantly fell into the sea. Hit the rocks!

Fortunately, there are many brothers of their own families around, and the sailors and soldiers are all good at the water. Even if you have a padded jacket on your body, you can still boil it in the cold sea water for a while.

"Quick! A ship has hit the rocks, hurry up and save the brother who fell into the water! ”

Several small boats next to the wreck immediately rowed towards the wreck, and before they reached the place, they heard a shout: "Don't come, the reef is not sure where it is, don't come!" ”

A shout immediately made several small boats around them stop their movements and stand motionless in the water. Just now, the ship only scratched the reef, but with the help of the waves, it still broke in half. Moreover, the location of the wreck is not on the rock. Seeing a few more ships coming to save him and his brother, the captain of the sunken ship gave up a chance of survival.

A few small boats that stayed near the wreck quietly watched the movement of the fluttering sea water in the dark getting smaller and smaller, and they also knew that the brother who fell into the water must be more and more auspicious.

"Leave two boats behind and tell the brothers in the back not to pass through here. Rest of the brethren, let us move on! Soon, a junior captain with a high rank spoke.

In the darkness of the night, countless small boats paddle in the cold waters. Every now and then, there is a click, which means that a new reef has been discovered, and the relative cost is ten soldiers in the small boat.

The first batch of landing troops soon reached the edge of the continent in the dark, and after finding a few good landing points, they quickly landed ashore. After that, the rest of the troops also began to prepare for the landing. Thousands of warships stayed ten miles from the coast, and any closer they could easily run aground. Fortunately, the boat is not slow, at least much faster than walking. The boat transported the soldiers back and forth, and the time for the soldiers to get on and off the ship was almost half an hour.

It was not until more than five o'clock in the morning of the next day that Li Ancheng led 800,000 sailors and soldiers to land. The remaining 200,000 soldiers stayed on the ship, guarding the ship in case of an unexpected military situation.

When Li Ancheng took a small boat and looked at the sea, he realized how big a mistake he had made last night. Above the sea for just ten miles, the remains of small boats floated everywhere. As for the soldiers on the ship, others can think of what will happen to Li Ancheng without saying it.

In this cold winter, the temperature of the sea is very low. In addition, the sailors and soldiers were also in the leather armor, covered with a layer of cotton clothes. Falling into the seawater, no matter how good the water is, it will be dragged down by the soaked cotton clothes.

"How many soldiers have been killed or wounded?" Li Ancheng said in a dull mood.

"General Qiqi, there were 342 ships damaged by hitting the reef last night, and 13 ships were missing. Of the 3,527 missing, 28 were rescued. ”

"In other words, more than 3,000 soldiers died like this?"

"General Hui, yes!"

"Alas~" Li Ancheng sighed secretly, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to land. I knew that I would fight a decisive battle with the Buni National Naval Division first, and then seize the port and land, maybe I would lose fewer men and horses.

However, since the landing has been completed, the loss of more than 3,000 people can be regarded as a great contribution. Li Ancheng naturally wouldn't waste time to thank these three thousand warriors. After resting for a while and waiting for a lot of military rations to come up, the 800,000-strong army set off lightly.

Blocking Li Ancheng's road to Buni was a small city called Ulan, which was located forty miles east of the capital of Buni. According to the information from the intelligence officers, there were only 5,000 defenders in the city of Ulan, but they were all regular troops, and their combat effectiveness was not very bad.

Now Li Ancheng's goal is Ulan City, as long as he takes Ulan City, then hundreds of thousands of troops can directly reach the capital of Buni Kingdom. And the 500,000 troops in the south of the country of Buni have become ornaments. Either they were flanked by Li Ancheng and Yue Fei back and forth, or they took the initiative to withdraw to the capital.

Now that the battlefield of the Buni Kingdom has reached its final moment, the Beichen Army has completed preparations for the final blow to the Buni Kingdom. Just wait for the great armies to converge, and you can take the country of Buni at any time. You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free updates【】
