Chapter 21: Preemptive strike
Manid is known as the Black Dragon General, and the reason is that Li Youqian accidentally discovered Manid's talent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Manid's meticulous observation is a talent for trebuchets that is outrageous! Based on this talent, Li Youqian specially made a super-large trebuchet 'Black Dragon' for Manid. Because of its huge size, the error is huge, but Manid can adjust everything to near perfection, although he can't do it anywhere, but compared to ordinary trebuchets, the hit rate is much higher!
Manid's current position is a baron, and he has a city of soldiers, and his soldiers are unified in black armor, known as the 'Black Dragon Army!' 'The march of the army is like a torrent of steel, solemn, solemn, and with an infinite sense of oppression!
The war has not yet begun, Manid has taken the lead, and the Black Dragon Army is in the ancient city of Jiao! Manid's siege method is different from the others, never storming, but using the black dragon to crush the enemy's fortifications and hearts.
.
Jiao Ancient City is a strategic fortress, a place where soldiers must fight! Never to be lost! The guard general Lupine Scarf, is a Confucian general who is famous for his defense, and he doesn't have much force himself, but he is resourceful! He had already arranged all kinds of defenses, although the defenders in the city were only 6,000 people, but he had absolute confidence, ordinary people didn't want to attack Jiao Gucheng at all! It's a pity that Manid is no ordinary person.
Manid had ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and make building materials, and the able-bodied Nord soldiers pushed wagons one after another towards the ancient city of Jiao.
As night fell, dark clouds obscured the stars. The Black Dragons took advantage of the darkness to move the building materials off the wagon and began to assemble them. Black armor, black lacquer building materials, the defenders of Jiao Gucheng didn't even notice the anomaly outside the city, and when dawn broke, the Jiao Gucheng soldiers who changed shifts found that a camp had been built opposite the city gate at some point! The camp is about 8 meters high, which is about the same height as the city wall.
"It's not a good thing, go and inform the city lord!" The soldiers hurriedly ran to the city lord's mansion and pulled the sleepy-eyed city lord to the city wall.
At this moment, the Confucian general stood on top of the city tower, looking at the camp of the Black Dragon Army opposite, frowning! The enemy will not be the same as the opponent you usually meet. How did such a camp be built overnight? The preemptive strike is understandable, but what worries him the most is that the opposite side does not attack the city, but builds a camp on a large scale, what kind of routine is this? Are you going to siege or not to siege the city?
The Confucian general couldn't figure out Manid's routine, "Order, transfer a brigade of soldiers to test the truth!" Other personnel are ready, ready to attack or rescue at any time! ā
"Yes! Castle Lord! āć
With the order of the Confucian general, a large group of 500 soldiers marched towards the camp with neat steps!
Manid looked at Jiao Gucheng's tentative troops with a look of disdain. "Meat eaters, are these noble lords all reading the same military book? That's it, it's still called a wise general? The order, the soldier climbed the wall, ready to shoot with crossbow arrows. 10,000 people were ambushed on the left and right sides, ready to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor! ā
The walled city of the Black Dragon Army is divided into four layers, each layer is about two meters high, each layer is densely covered with shooting holes, Ashigaru is a group of ten people, distributed in two rows in the shooting holes, when the enemy enters the firing range, a Ashigaru shoots the crossbow arrows in his hand, you don't need to aim too much, shoot out in that direction! After shooting, Ashigaru took a step to the right, turned one person's position in a circle, and when he turned nine people and turned back again, the crossbow arrow in his hand had been filled again.
The team of five hundred, under a dense barrage of crossbow arrows, soon fell apart. General Ru immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and at the same time arranged for reserve personnel to go to meet them.
Manid stared at the battlefield closely, this was the moment he was waiting for! "Command, attack on both wings, don't fight in close combat, shoot from a distance, you can shoot one is one!"
The soldiers of Jiao Gucheng had just received the defeated front army brigade, when suddenly a large number of enemy troops poured out on both sides, and the number of enemy troops was overwhelming, and the mountains and fields were all over the world. Countless bows and arrows, crossbow arrows poured down, and the army was miserable, and after leaving nearly a thousand corpses, it retreated to the ancient city of Jiao.
The Confucian generals are all overwhelmed, and this is not a routine to play cards! At the beginning of the battle, he suffered nearly a third of his own troops! How else to play! And the enemy army, just now witnessed that the Black Dragon Army is no less than 30,000 people, and I heard that the military generals on the opposite side are only the generals of one city, the baronial title, but they are full of calculations here and the supplies distributed above to feed 6,000 soldiers, how did the opposite side raise enough 30,000 troops? Judging by the level of equipment and training, it is not like forcing farmers to make up the numbers. In the face of such a powerful enemy army, can you really hold it?
"The herald, the executives are exempt from the battle card, and they are forbidden to go out of the city to meet the enemy. The heralds, three times in the morning, noon and evening, asked for help from nearby cities and headquarters. The Confucian general looked at the dense army under the city in fear, for the first time, he lost confidence, can he really hold it?
After Jiao Gucheng, four cities sent rescue troops, among which the rescue sent by Gaocheng in the south of the county was the most, and the soldiers of the three legions led by the county guard to support Jiao Gucheng. The plan is wonderful, but the reality is cruel!
One of the troops led by the county guard was his personal personal soldier, and the remaining two legions were standing soldiers, leaving only one legion of defenders in Nangaocheng. The soldiers of Fenradshire will soon arrive, and as long as the preemptive attack of Lee's army is stopped, the balance of victory will be theirs!
"Report! Lord Earl, there are trees in front of you blocking the road, and the army cannot advance! Tanma's report pulled back the county guard's train of thought.
"This must be the enemy's desire to block the advance of our army and delay the advance of our army! Order the soldiers of the 2nd Legion to remove obstacles as quickly as possible and keep the road clear. At the same time, the 3rd Army Corps is on guard to search the vicinity and watch out for enemy ambushes! ā
"Yes, Lord Count!" The heralds went to give orders, and the soldiers followed the instructions, the way to open the way, the guards to be guarded, and the others rested in place.
In the distance, Anderson and Cher looked out at the reinforcements from South Hightown.
"Anderson, the enemy has been ambushed, shall we start attacking?" Cher and Anderson reunite, and their relationship grows day by day. Anderson is now proud of the spring breeze, and his love and career are both bumper!
"Xue'er, don't worry, the enemy will definitely arrange soldiers to probe and guard first. After the scouting soldiers returned, we will move forward slowly, tighten the encirclement, and catch them all! ā
The searching soldiers found nothing and retreated to the battalion.
At this time, Anderson's troops pushed trebuchets and crossbows towards the enemy camp.
The soldiers of Nangaocheng hurried overnight, it was extremely hard, and now they can finally rest, the soldiers are relaxed, and even some of the soldiers fall asleep directly.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A loud bang was deafening! A sleeping soldier was smashed to pieces by a cannon stone before he could figure out the situation!
"It's an enemy attack!" Countless bows, crossbows, crossbow arrows, and gunstones poured down. The soldiers hurriedly got up and looked for cover. The shield in his hand could not resist the impact of cannon stones or crossbow arrows, and the army's morale was disrupted, and the camp was in a panic.
"Kill!" The ranged attack stopped, and an endless stream of ashigaru spears charged at the panicked enemy formation. The Nangaocheng army was caught off guard and collapsed at the first touch.
The county guard wants to regroup, but he is already weak...... There was no way, so I got on my war horse and fled in a hurry. Before he could run out of the camp, a beautiful woman with a wrong demeanor led a large group of ashigaru to surround him, and before the county guard could turn around, he saw the two flying knives in the beautiful woman's hands flashing coldly, and he didn't know anything......
