Chapter 11: The Attack on the Castle of Euphora
In winter, the temperature dropped suddenly, reaching more than 10 degrees below zero.
Overnight, a heavy snow fell, and outside the city, there was a boundless white expanse.
For months, there has been no shortage of rain.
It's just that the outside of the city is all gravel, and the rainwater can't be retained, and as soon as it hits the ground, it penetrates deep underground.
Well water is the main way to get water in the two cities.
The weather is cold, and the poor families are piled up in the yard without a cover wooden box that is only one meter long and half a meter high.
The wooden box was rented, and the whole piece of wood was hollowed out.
Buckets of well water were filled with ice, and sold to the official ice cellar of Youtian City.
Outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Ji Yu personally led the drill.
Youtian City and Jinshan City each recruited 5,000 troops to form a large army.
Weapons, processed and made by Jinshan City.
Bows and crossbows, three thousand sets, one hundred arrows per set.
Machete, 10,000 pieces, made of stainless steel.
The quality of the knives and crossbows used by the soldiers of Youtian City is several grades different from those processed by the Jinshan Factory.
It's all changed.
The lethality of the bow and crossbow has been increased from 200 steps to 300 steps at once.
The machete, slashing a fat pig, is still extremely sharp.
The bullet can be made, but the purity of the gunpowder is insufficient, and after the bullet is fired, the thrust of the warhead is insufficient, and the killing distance is only 300 meters, which is 100 meters less.
Fortunately, thousands can be made every day, so gunners don't have to worry about the supply of bullets.
The guns have not been up to par, and engineers are being organized to tackle key problems.
To Wu Fanyang's greatest surprise, the C4 was produced, and the explosion power fully met his requirements.
This plastic explosive, packed into a plastic bag, is like dough, which can be kneaded into various shapes at will, and a single detonator can be successfully detonated.
It can be as small as blowing open a gate, or as big as blowing up a city wall.
This thing, he only distributes in the team of 100 gunslingers.
There is no ration for those who use cold weapons.
Until the training of the 10,000-person team was completed, Ying Ruoxue and Ji Yu did not know that there was a C4.
Target, Euphora City.
It is about five hundred miles away from Youtian City.
Buses, one hundred, twenty trucks.
Five thousand and one hundred men marched.
There were 3,000 Jinshan soldiers, 2,000 Youtian soldiers, and 100 gunmen.
Yiluo City, there is a resource that Wu Fanyang covets.
Coal, high-quality coal mines.
Yiluocheng used coal to exchange for grain in Youtian City, and one cart of coal could be exchanged for two carts of grain.
In Youtian City, there is no fuel, and coal is an important material.
The two cities, relying on coal and grain exchanges, maintain a delicate balance.
At first, Wu Fanyang wanted to spend money to buy in large quantities.
The thermal power plant in Jinshan City needs coal, and with electricity, many machines and equipment can be operated.
Newsletters included.
The result was a great surprise to him.
Don't sell, only exchange food.
Damn, don't sell? Then take the city together.
……
……
"General Wu, ahead is Yiluo City." Ji Yu was sitting in an off-road vehicle, and in the distance, a city was faintly visible.
On the bus behind, the soldiers of Youtian City were all wide-eyed, and their faces were full of incredulity.
The inside of the car is warm, and the outside of the car is snowy.
The sun set out at the beginning of the day, and now that the sun was still overhead, the army rushed to Yiluo City, much to the shock of all the soldiers in Youtian City.
"Thief mother, where is this war, it's just going to relatives." Some famous soldiers sighed loudly.
The soldier's words resonated, and laughter erupted in the car.
The convoy stopped 500 meters away from the city wall of Eura City.
"Professor Han, look, when did this city be?" Wu Fanyang handed the telescope to Professor Han beside him.
"Song Dynasty." Professor Han only looked at it for a few seconds and then said affirmatively.
"Is there a Song Dynasty named Yiluo?" Wu Fanyang has poor knowledge of history, so he is ashamed to ask.
"Such a big city, there must be records in history, but the name of the city is like Youtian City, and it was changed by later generations." Professor Han said.
"Damn, why did you change the name of the city?" Lu Tao was puzzled.
"I'll ask the lord of Yiluo City later." Professor Han said with a smile.
"Come forward and shout, give them a chance to surrender." Wu Fanyang looked at his watch, "If you don't surrender in a quarter of an hour, after breaking through the city, the city lord and others will be ...... War criminals. ”
"I'm going to shout." Lu Tao smiled and jumped into a truck.
"Snipers, shieldmen keep up." Ji Yue ordered loudly.
The truck staggered forward unhurriedly.
Lu Tao stood in the carriage, the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The wind, blowing on the face, is like a knife cut, and it hurts.
He wrapped himself in an overcoat.
A hundred meters from the city walls, the truck stopped, but there was no cessation of fire.
On the city wall, the soldiers pointed and pointed, looking dazed.
"Hey, hey." Lu Tao tried the horn.
"Listen to the people on the city wall, we are the combined army of Youtian City and Jinshan City, and we are limited to you to wait for a piece of incense to surrender. If you don't surrender, after the city is broken, the men will be coolies, and the women will be slaves. ”
Lu Tao didn't say anything about war criminals, Ji Yue didn't understand what war criminals were, and the people on the city wall didn't understand either.
But coolies and slaves, the other party must understand.
"Marquis Du Yu is not on the city wall, I will go to report immediately, don't do it." There were soldiers on the walls who replied in a trembling voice.
"Nima, I heard that only the soldiers brought by Grandpa Yue in the Great Song Dynasty are powerful, and the others are all waste, I can't imagine that my descendants will be like this." Lu Tao took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, shrunk his head and squatted down.
"General Lu, who is Grandpa Yue?" One of the shieldmen asked.
"What the are you...... Oh, hehe, Youtian City hasn't heard of Grandpa Yue's normal. Lu Tao just wanted to get angry, but suddenly remembered Professor Han's words, so he had to smile.
After a cigarette was smoked, there was movement on the city wall.
"Who's under the city?" Someone shouted.
"Lao Tzu Lu Tao, a native of Jinshan City, the current general of Youtian City, you fucking report to the master, all the incense will surrender, otherwise the city will be slaughtered after the city is broken." Lu Tao grabbed the microphone and roared.
"Yiluo City and Youtian City have always been friends, how can they attack me for no reason?" The man in the city chattered.
"Damn, Tang Seng is reincarnated." Lu Tao took the sniper rifle and aimed at the hat Sakura on the man's helmet.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
The man felt the helmet shake violently, and when he touched his hand, the finger-thick hat Sakura broke.
"If you are verbose, the next shot will kill you, get out of here and report to the city lord." Lu Tao scolded angrily.
"Didi ......"
The driver honked his horn at the right time.
"The lord of my house is seriously ill and bedridden...... the man on the city wall said again.
"Hit him in the left arm, and don't take his life." Lu Tao smiled helplessly, and the sniper rifle was returned to the sniper.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
The man threw himself to the ground.
"Huh, dizzy? So you don't want to take his life? Lu Tao scolded.
"Hehe, Brother Tao, I only scratched his skin a little, I'm scared." The sniper laughed.
Sure enough, in a moment's effort, the man got up and hurried to the city wall.
"Squeak......
An off-road vehicle sped up and stopped next to the truck.
"General Lu, the time has come, please retreat and prepare to attack the city." A man in the car shouted.
"Eh, wait, the people on the city wall have already gone to find the city lord, please General Wu ......"
"Be careful! Get down! ”
The shield hand pulled Lu Tao past him and blocked in front of him.
In the air, countless arrows flew.
"Bang! Boom! ……”
Among the sharp arrows, there are giant crossbow arrows, which are extremely powerful.
"Ahh
One of the shield-bearers fell backwards.
Giant crossbow arrows, more than a meter long, pierce through the shield and into the shield man's chest.
"Nyima!"
Lu Tao picked up the shield, raised it, and squatted in the carriage.
The truck driver, who had been hit by several arrows, did not move.
"Boom ......"
The off-road vehicle raced to the right, drove dozens of meters and suddenly lost control, hit a boulder, and overturned.
"What should I do?"
In the carriage, there were three people left.
Lu Tao, a shield bearer, a sniper.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang! ”
Behind him, a sniper gun rang out.
"Don't panic, hide, a few iron sheets and shields are blocked, and crossbow arrows can't be shot." Lu Tao gritted his teeth and said.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Several trucks slowly moved forward, several shields overlapping each other in front of the windshield.
Behind each truck, five gunmen followed.
Trucks are stacked with supplies that can be used as a natural shield.
The snipers are still shooting desperately.
On the city wall, the soldiers fell one after another, but more and more people came.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
The gunners came into range, and bullets rained down on the walls.
The crossbow bolt was suppressed at once.
"Cover Lao Tzu." Lu Tao yelled at the sniper.
Grab your shield, jump off the truck, and pull open the cab door.
"I'm sorry." Lu Tao pulled down the driver's body.
"Boom ......"
The truck sped towards the city walls.
