Chapter 257: Asymmetrical Siege Battle!
A fine iron made, with a dark glow of arrows with sound effects, broke through the air, General Ge could clearly see Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who was still with an unbeatable look just now, suddenly widened his pupils, his eyes were full of incredible pain and full of disbelief, he admired the strength of the principality, and never looked down on the promotion of the small country to the Che Long Kingdom Liu Cheng Prime Minister, he never imagined that he would be killed by arrows one day, and it was a country like the Che Long Kingdom that he looked down on.
Fine iron arrows, which are different from ordinary wooden arrows, are China's science and technology, of course, this kind of fine iron arrows can not be used for a long time, if you have been using arrows made of fine iron to attack, then even the richest China can not afford to provide, even if it is an ordinary big country, can not be so wasted, so fine iron arrows will only be used in critical wars, or when the war must be won!
Because the characteristics of the production of fine iron means that once the war is won, the fine iron will once again become the material of the country, so if you are sure of victory, there is no problem in using this kind of arrow.
Now the 100,000 elite reinforcements provided by the two major families of the Principality of Liumu have been completely destroyed, and the Principality of Liumu is rich and rich, among which the archers are the most common standard equipment is this kind of fine iron arrows, among which the marksmen are even more powerful black iron arrows, as for the special arrows Xuantie Arrow, but it is only equipped with a little, after all, this kind of Xuantie Arrow is already a strategic resource of the Liumu Principality, even if it is the two major families, it can only be equipped with a little, and it is impossible to use it more.
A large number of refined iron arrows have been harvested, plus some of the emergency reserves after the Chelong Kingdom broke through this jishu difficulty before, and the current Chelong Country has more than 100,000 fine iron arrows, so it is under the instruction of Ding Yuan. Zhang Liao, who knew the army well, immediately selected 10,000 of the top archers, and under the leadership of some realistic generals who were good at bows and arrows, as well as his own personal leadership, launched a blow to start the siege war!
But to be able to shoot the prime minister of the stone country, this is Zhang Liao and others is also a little unexpected, although the fine iron arrow is powerful, it is China's strategic military material, but if you want to shoot the prime minister of a country with layers of protection, it is still an extremely difficult thing.
You must know that the prime minister is not the first official of this shijie. But as the head of civil officials and one of the top officials, it is very important to have strong protection facilities, and although Prime Minister Liu Cheng is only a civil official, he is the prime minister of a powerful China like Shi Guo. His own strength has also reached the level of a six-star fighter.
This can only be said that Prime Minister Liu's life is too sad, and of course it is not too sad. At least that's how he died. On the contrary, he died cleanly, and if he saw the performance of the siege battle of Chelong Kingdom, he would naturally be even more sad.
Because it is too powerful, the military liliang of Chelong Kingdom is simply not what China should have, even if it is the performance of some big countries, it is nothing more than that.
Because the siege of ten thousand archers began. When the horn of the Chelong Kingdom was pulled to destroy the capital of the Stone Kingdom, suddenly there were three shapes of large, medium and small, and the simple and powerful trebuchet introduced from the Three Kingdoms Shijie was suppressed by the rain of arrows formed by fine iron arrows. Taking advantage of the good opportunity when the shots were fired, the defenders of the Shi Kingdom did not dare to show their heads, and quickly under the impetus of the elite Che Long Guo soldiers, they continued to rumble forward, and before the rain of arrows disappeared, an attack was formed.
Trebuchet, large, medium and small trebuchets, can not be divided into three huge phalanxes of different sizes, each phalanx is divided into dozens of hundreds of different small groups, these small groups before, are standing a realistic Shijie generals, at this time these generals are slightly excited to command their soldiers, launching an attack.
The trebuchet has to be said to be a siege machine against the sky, its manufacture is very easy, and the material is extremely simple, but the power is not weak, the Chelong country is equipped with a large number of this siege machine, anyway, with the current national strength of the Chelong country, it is impossible to manufacture China's basic military science and technology materials on a large scale, but the manufacture of this trebuchet is nothing at all, it can be manufactured in large quantities, and it will not cause any burden to the treasury.
The control of the trebuchet does not need too manpower, the small trebuchet can be controlled by two people, the medium-sized trebuchet needs five people to be able to exert the maximum power, and the large trebuchet needs ten people, but although it is so, compared to the dozens or hundreds of this shijie large siege equipment, it can be regarded as extremely streamlined.
The arrow rain has just passed with difficulty, and the second-line army that Shi Guo went to the battlefield for the first time cannot effectively hide at all, and although those retired soldiers have rich experience and know how to hide, but they have exceeded the best physical age, and they are a little powerless to dodge, and a wave of arrow rain offensive for a while directly caused the death of tens of thousands of people in Shi Guo!
You must know that arrows made of fine iron are not extraordinary arrows, this kind of arrows are heavy, extremely fast, and very penetrating, and after shooting a person, they will still have a strong power and attack the person behind.
Therefore, although there are only more than 100,000 fine iron arrows in total, and only 50,000 are shot out, the number of casualties in Shi Guo is at least 40,000, which means that an average of one arrow shoots a Shi Guo soldier!
This kind of result seems to be nothing too surprising, 30,000 flying general cavalry army, it seems that the results are even better, the million army is directly wiped out, and there are not many casualties themselves, but don't forget, at that time, the place where the flying general cavalry was in the plain area, for the cavalry, the combat effectiveness on the plain is amazingly terrifying.
The second point is more important, the flying general cavalry itself is the kind of extremely terrifying army, although the magic marksman selected by Zhang Liao is also the elite of the elite, and the more practical is the fine iron arrow.
But first, even if this elite is more elite, but it is still not as powerful as the flying general cavalry, and it is the launch of the art of war, you must know that the power of the cavalry's art of war itself is extremely powerful, at that time, the flying general cavalry under the leadership of Lu Bu has produced the effect of unity, and under this effect, the power of the art of war is directly doubled!
And although the siege this time was very fast, and the cooperation of 10,000 archers was also very tacit, but there was no way to launch the art of war. The results of the battle are naturally far inferior to the brilliant cavalry of the flying generals, and the siege of the city is already more difficult than the field battle, and the consumption of 50,000 arrows made of fine iron only caused the death of 40,000 Shi Guo's soldiers, which is already an extremely difficult thing.
Of course, this arrow attack made of fine iron is just an appetizer, in order to pre-send the trebuchet to the best siege position, and the best siege method for the besieging side is naturally to surrender without a fight. This is a plan to attack the army, followed by the demoralization of the stone country, these two siege methods, the loss is the smallest method, and the army directly attack the city. This is the most undesirable method, but there are two methods: in the army and in the army. It takes too long. And what Che Longguo lacks now is time.
Therefore, for the sake of time, we can only choose the most barbaric, but also the most efficient and fastest method, direct siege, of course, direct siege also needs to pay attention to the method, if it is directly with the tactics of crowds. It is a foolish act to attack a city in a war of attrition, and no general will use such a siege method until the last resort.
And the most effective method of direct siege. Naturally, it is to build the most powerful siege equipment, make use of its own advantages, and give full play to asymmetric warfare under the huge premise of occupying the initiative, that is, use all conditions to coerce the defending side and the besieging side to launch a defensive battle under unequal conditions!
That is, the besieging side uses its own advantages, compared with the disadvantages of the defending side, and constantly uses the advantage to fight against the defender's weakness, which is the essence of the entire Three Kingdoms War, and as a first-class general, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and even Ding Yuan all know this method, so when Chelong Kingdom attacked the city, let Deshi Kingdom thoroughly know what a siege war is.
Maybe it's because Ding Yuan's arrows aren't broad enough, maybe even the hundreds of millions of square kilometers of vast land where the Principality of Liumu is located are just barbarian land in the countryside, maybe it's the essence of this shijie war jishu, it's not here at all, or it's too badly lost, in short, in the eyes of Ding Yuan and the generals of the Three Kingdoms, this shijie's military means are too single, it's just a backward barbarian shijie, and he doesn't know what war is at all, The generals are not even as good as an ordinary squad leader of the Three Kingdoms, and they have a better understanding of the war.
If it weren't for the fact that this shijie has a magical human fighting spirit, has a variety of jishu based on fighting spirit, and a military war machine driven by fighting spirit, then this shijie will have no merit, any military general of the Three Kingdoms, including the three kingdom dragon set generals, can easily crush the so-called generals of this shijie, and even the innate generals!
Because this shijie's congenital warrior is equivalent to the three kingdoms' dragon generals, but if they talk about their understanding of war, Zhang Liao and others even feel that this shijie's so-called innate generals are not as good as the lowest-level dragon generals of the Three Kingdoms, because the conceptual gap is too serious.
For example, they are both peasants, but compared with the peasants of the 17th century and the peasants of the 21st century, the difference is too big.
And now to deal with such a China, the so-called strong China, the national unity of the stone country, for the generals of the Chelong country, it is simply not worth mentioning, originally the Che Long country continued to accumulate strength, thinking how powerful the heroes of the world are, but after contact, it was found that it was nothing more than that, this shijie relied on the stupid and rough crushing, not the command art of the generals, which can be seen from the stupid war fortress.
The current Che Long Kingdom can be said to be enough to face the challenges of any country it comes into contact with, including the so-called Principality of Willow, of course, it is only able to accept the challenge, the current strength of the Principality of Che Dragon is not to the point where it can despise the Principality of Willow, at most, it is no longer worried about the war of the Principality of Willow, at least under the crushing of the army of the Principality of Willow, there is no worry of losing the country.
You must know that as long as the stone country is destroyed and the land of the stone country is captured, then the Chelong country has a vast strategic depth, with the Zodiac Valley as a stable rear, with such a vast strategic depth, then with the command ability of the generals of the three kingdoms, even if the army of the Principality of Liumu is coming, then it can also be maneuvered with it, and continue to become stronger, and one day it can compete with the Principality of Liumu!
Of course, it's not right now, there is still a huge gap in the composition of the army, you have to know what is the proportion of fighters in the Principality of Willowwood, one in twentieth, that is to say, the population of the Principality of Willowwood is over 100 million, there are at least five million fighters, and the ratio of masters among the fighters is also more, you must know the most ordinary army of the Principality of Willow. The minimum limit for conscription is also a four-star fighter, and the elite army is at least a six-star fighter, as for the ace army that has been trained by the innate generals, although it is still a six-star fighter, but because it is cultivated with the ability to command the troops of the innate generals, they are not ordinary six-star fighters, and the overall combat effectiveness is even stronger.
As for whether the Principality of Liumu has a more powerful army, it is unknown, after all, the Principality is not something that China or even a big country can speculate.
Now the military liliang of Chelong Kingdom can even be compared with the big powers. It is comparable to the principality of the two major families, but if it is against the entire Willowwood Principality, then there is still too big a gap.
Therefore, for the current Chelong Kingdom, what needs to be done is not to attract the full attention of the Principality of Liumu, as for the two great families. To be honest, Ding Yuan is no longer in his eyes. As long as it is not a full-scale attack of the Principality of Willow. How many troops come from those two great families, it's just looking for death!
Of course, the ambition of Che Long Kingdom, or Ding Yuan's ambition will not stop, because Ding Yuan wants to let the princess of Deliumu Principality be his queen, so he must make Deche Dragon Kingdom continue to be strong.
Shiguo covers an area of Wubai million square kilometers, if you can digest all this land. Then the country of Chelong has more than eight million ordinary kilometers of good land, and this is not counting the land such as those attached mountains, which cannot be cultivated and inhabited in this Shijie law. Then it is not counted as land area, but only attached land.
Therefore, if it occupies the entire Stone Country, then the actual area of the Chelong Kingdom actually has more than 10 million square kilometers, and this land is already more than all the land of the entire Three Kingdoms!
Just think about it, Ding Yuan, including the four generals, is breathing is slightly short, tens of millions of ordinary kilometers of land, and all of them are excellent land, which makes the four generals a little relaxed, although this shijie is infinitely vast, but tens of millions of square kilometers of land, how vast this is, it is enough for them to enjoy the vertical and horizontal.
However, although the four generals thought so, they still kept their eyes firmly on the battle situation, and commanded the army to adjust the attack from time to time.
The small stones thrown by the small trebuchet, the iron balls smashed by the medium-sized trebuchet, and the fire oil bombs constantly sent by the large trebuchet kept smashing towards the capital of the stone country.
The whole stone city for a while, it was completely a screaming shijie, the stone smashed people is already not dead, and the iron ball can directly smash people into meat cakes, and as for the oil bomb, it is even more terrifying, the scorching high temperature oil will be injured if it is stained, but it is extremely serious, and the whole person dies in pain.
Constantly people were injured by stones, smashed into flesh by iron balls, attacked and burned by fire oil bombs, and died in the screams of pain.
Under such a hellish war scene on earth, gradually, even the soldiers and civilians of Shiguo, who have been brainwashed and educated for many years and have been passed down from generation to generation, gradually have an emotion called fear in their hearts, and this emotion still has a powerful contagious effect.
Gradually, the soldiers and civilians of Shiguo no longer worked together to defend the city and wait for the battle, but hurriedly looked for a place to hide, under the threat of death, years of brainwashing and education, and finally declared a crisis.
And as a result, the morale of the Shi Guo defenders, who were incomparably strong on the surface, suddenly plummeted.
At this time, the four generals who were paying close attention to the battle looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly reported that after entering Ding Yuan's big tent, the four of them knelt down on one knee at the same time and hugged their fists and said: "The time has come, I will ask for an immediate siege!" ”
Looking at the four most powerful generals under his command, Ding Yuan's face was full of smiles, the four generals were all brave generals, in addition to Lu Bu and other arrogant heroes, the other three generals were also heroes of the moment, wise and brave, with strong military ability, now the four generals asked to fight, Ding Yuan would not allow it, immediately stood up, and laughed loudly: "Shi Guo dared to rob with fire when my Che Long Kingdom was the weakest, and now it is finally time for my Che Long Kingdom to raise his eyebrows, and the four generals will listen to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
The four generals clenched their fists again and roared loudly.
"Table Er and the other four people, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and each of them must bring two hundred realistic generals to enter the stone city for me, and after that, after leaving enough garrison soldiers and horses, give me to sweep the entire land of the stone country, and I want to see the five-clawed golden dragon banner of my Chelong country and plant it all over the stone country!"
At this time, Ding Yuan was in high spirits and said loudly and heroically.
"Yes!"
The four generals roared again, and then the sound of the armor rattled, and then the four generals strode out of the big tent, and then all the attacks stopped, but the four generals each took an elite army, two hundred realistic generals, and 200,000 ordinary troops, leaving Ding Yuan 100,000 ordinary professional soldiers, nearly two hundred generals, and launched a terrible siege battle!
