Seventh Night: The First Assault

Previous Chapter

The first attack on the seventh night

As Liu Yuanzhi said, for the Fengfeng Cang, which is equivalent to the shape of the Weinan Cang, the dream man really can't play any tricks. In the vast northern plains of Bang County, even ordinary people who do not have the ability to "look at the distance from the same height" can easily see an army moving several miles away, which is enough to prepare for battle in advance. Unless it's a cavalry unit that is attacking, it may be caught off guard. But then again, it's okay to use cavalry troops to fight sports warfare, but if you use it to siege cities, it's a bit out of tune.

The man in the dream had also considered repeating the tactics used to take Wanghui City a few days ago - deception, but because the general with the troops from the storm was already served in yesterday's battle, there was really no chance to persuade another enemy to cooperate with the action in the future, not to mention that not every general or prisoner of war could be moved by Huang Zhi's words.

The effect of "cordial" lowering the hostility level by one is exactly the same as the punishment of the East China Sea team in the dream world, and it may not be easy for Huang Zhi to persuade a general of the mob army to serve the East China Navy, and it may even be tempted by the other party's general to lure the dream man into the storm harvest warehouse to close the door and beat the dog.

You must know that if it weren't for Liu Yuanzhi's plan to ambush the cavalry of Wanghui City in Gudao and hand over a convincing letter of surrender, the dream man of the Donghai team would not dare to rashly follow him into Wanghui City. All in all, some of the tactics used against the rebels in the first place in the county could not be replicated in the series of battles that would be fought in the northern plains.

Of course, just like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, the night attack of the Eastern Navy can be regarded as a habitual routine, and it is quite easy to use. In the case of mental arithmetic or unintentional, a night attack that disrupts the opponent's biological clock is the best way to effectively suppress the enemy's combat effectiveness and morale.

Therefore, the Eastern Navy calculated the time required for the march on the road, and left Chen Chuang, who had a resentful expression, to guard the storm earthquake pass, and the other three battalions of troops set out in the afternoon of the next day, aiming directly at the storm Fengcang located in the center of the northern plain. And this time, the three bigwigs of the Eastern Navy plan to fulfill Li Erhu's wish and fight a real battle against the three-meter-high Fengfeng warehouse on the city wall, so as to test the ability of the "trapped camp" in this regard.

At the same time as the Eastern Navy was dispatched, in Nanhai Town, which is nearly 1,300 miles east and south-east of the Storm Pass, it took only one day to mobilize and prepare, and a Southern Navy with a scale of 3,000 men was also released.

The newcomer who was favored by Jia Junshi was given the nickname of "assistant", and he integrated into the team one step earlier than another newcomer who joined the Nanhai team at the same time as him. According to the suggestion of the "assistant," last night Jia Junshi again purchased the battle report of the Eastern Navy in the northern part of the county from Anan, and learned the astonishing news that the Eastern Navy had annihilated 4,000 mob troops in one night.

The expression of the "assistant" was quite worried, "If the information provided by the 'intelligence office' is accurate, then the military strength of the mob army in the northern plains of the storm county is not much, I am afraid that each city pass only has a basic 500 troops left, which is about the same as the East Navy, and it will not be able to stop the advance of the East Navy at all." ”

Jia Junshi also personally felt a sense of urgency, and he had to admit that the people in the dream of the East China Sea Team were speeding up the pace to throw off the South China Sea Team, and the quality of the East China Navy was obviously a grade higher than that of the South China Navy. He also believed that he could lead the Southern Navy to annihilate twice as many rebels as his own, but to accomplish this brilliant feat in a day and night of battle was beyond his ability. Moreover, according to the detailed information he bought from Anan at a high price, the casualties of the Eastern Navy have not exceeded three digits, which is especially unbelievable to him.

"There must be no problem with the information of the 'Intelligence Office', the Imperial Court has decreed that Anan is a rather strange existence, and I still don't understand what kind of creature he is." Although he is willing to give a contrary answer, Jia Junshi cannot deceive himself.

"That's ......" "Assistant" didn't have the heart to explore the secrets of Anan, he only cared about one thing now, and that was how to weaken the East China Sea team. From the first day he joined the South Sea team, he knew the undying hatred between the two teams. Unfortunately, the South China Sea team is now in a weak position, and he is a newcomer to this team who has just been added to the team for a few nights. Therefore, although he has no hatred for the dream people of the Tokai team who have never met, in order to save his life, he must take the initiative to calculate the other party.

And when he was in the real world during the day, Jia Junshi calculated an account for everyone, and as of tonight, the Donghai team has obtained 130,000 points in the last two weeks. Although he didn't say anything to remind him, the "assistant" knew in his heart that the boss had miscalculated the account. By next Thursday night in the real world, if the Southern Navy is still unable to enter the East Prison Pass, the income of the East China Sea team will exceed 170,000, even if they do not have any income in each war dream, these points are enough for everyone in the East China Sea team to upgrade their skills to the A rank.

How strong is the A-rank? As a rookie "assistant" does not have a clear concept, but as a rookie who has been in the dream world for less than a week, he himself is still in a pitiful E rank, and even several aboriginal generals of the Southern Navy can easily knock him down. And it is said that the strength assessment of these generals has only reached the C rank, so he can imagine how big the gap between the two is.

It is conceivable that if the two teams meet again in the dream of war, the "assistant" and another newcomer can basically be regarded as a burden with no combat effectiveness, and the Donghai team, which has the advantage in numbers, will easily and completely defeat the Nankai team.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about Jia Junshi's feelings, and pointed out the current predicament of the Nanhai team very bluntly, "Our time is very short, boss." ”

Jia Junshi nodded awkwardly, although he never denied this, it was really a little difficult to let a newcomer remind him of this.

However, the pressure of survival is obviously more important than the issue of face, so he still humbly asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

The "assistant" did not directly answer Jia Junshi's question, but took a map and analyzed, "Judging from the map we just purchased from the 'intelligence office', the 1,500-mile road to Dongjiaoguan is far more difficult than imagined. In particular, the county adjacent to the East China Sea is a whole coastal hilly terrain, and this section of the road alone will take us more than half a month. If we march in a conventional way, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach the East Prison Pass in two months. ”

After listening to the analysis of the "assistant", Jia Junshi also had to admit that what he said was right, so he did not interrupt the other party and let him continue to speak.

"According to the battle report of the Eastern Navy, I have made a bold analysis, it will take them less than a month and a half to take the entire northern plain, and most of this time is due to the attrition of the march. In other words, unless they plan to stay in Bangxian for a longer time, the time to return to Dongwei Pass should be within two months. Translate that to real-world time, which is this time of the next week. I don't think that our exhausted Southern Navy will be able to defeat the Eastern Navy on their home turf, so we must arrive before them, and we don't have much time left. ”

No matter how much the boss thinks of himself, the "assistant" knows that he is just a newcomer. As a newcomer, as soon as he joined the team, he said unabashedly that this team has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige, which is easy to arouse the disgust of the old players, so he said so much in one breath, and he was also a little worried in his heart.

After pausing to look at Jia Junshi's expression and making sure that the leader did not have any dissatisfaction, he said reassuringly, "Obviously, we must arrive at Donggao Pass next Saturday or even Thursday to have enough time to take action against the aborigines in their territory. This requires us to take an unconventional approach to marching."

Jia Junshi showed an expectant gaze, he realized that the military literacy of this newcomer's "assistant" was indeed higher than his own, and he knew that his strength lay in power and calculation, rather than marching and fighting, so he would rather trust the judgment of professionals. But then again, who are those guys in the Eastern Navy, and why are they so proficient in the combat methods of ancient cold weapons?

As far as he knew, the vast majority of the Dream Man teams were better at fighting in the War Dream Realm, and were not good at the solo command in the Power Dream Realm. That's because the war dream is full of "past events" with history to follow, as long as you do your homework a little seriously, every team can mix well in the war dream. On the other hand, in the dream of the forces, the dreamers had to rely on their own abilities to train their own troops and their officers, which led to the tragic ending of the Yellow Sea Brigade's annihilation in the battle against Yingxian.

The East China Sea team is definitely a terrifying existence, after some analysis by the "assistant", Jia Junshi has no hope for a head-to-head confrontation between the two armies at this time, and only thinks about how to burn and loot the East China Sea territory before the East China Sea returns to the territory, destroying their foundation.

Next, with the assistance of the "assistant", Jia Junshi revised the battle plan for the East China Sea territory, leaving 1,000 hoplites as a garrison force, and they chose other troops with more mobility, did not carry any baggage, and each soldier only carried just enough rations for a month, and carried the expedition lightly.

Even if they did this, they could only guarantee that their team would be able to reach the East Prison Pass at the beginning of next Saturday in the real world, and there was still not a lot of time left for them to do so. The only way to get there early is to increase the pace of the march and extend the daily march, which will hopefully reach the East Prison Pass in the middle and late stages of next Thursday.

Ignoring the Jia military division and the Southern Navy, which had begun their long journey, the Eastern Navy arrived at the official road 20 miles north of the Fengcang at noon on the third day, and began to set up camp under the long-distance surveillance of the other party's scouts.

The scouts of the storm did not feel that there was anything wrong with the behavior of the Eastern Navy, and it was quite normal for the two armies to camp twenty miles apart on such a large plain. Because there is not enough to be responsible for the terrain as a buffer, if a certain distance is not guaranteed, it is very likely that the enemy will not be able to react when the enemy sends cavalry to sneak attack.

The mob scouts brought the news back to the storm, and the defender generals were also powerless, in order to fight for control of the storm pass, he sent most of his troops out, who would have thought that it would be in exchange for an end of total annihilation, and now even self-protection is a problem.

The mob army has a long history of factional strife, and the controller of almost every gate represents a group of interests. This is especially true in the northern plains, where it would have been impossible or necessary to have an army of more than 1,500 men in such a low-defense city as Fengfengcang.

At the beginning, the forces of the Storm Earthquake Pass relied on their geographical advantages to send troops to Wei County to plunder the wealth, which had already made the generals of the surrounding cities quite angry. Therefore, once they heard that the storm was attacked, they had to send people to ask for help because of the lack of troops, and they all rushed to send a large army over. On the surface, he went to rescue his comrades, but in fact, he was trying to take advantage of the fire to rob and snatch control of the storm gate.

Originally, the defenders of the storm were worried that the troops they sent were afraid that they would not be able to compete with several other city passes because of their relatively weak combat effectiveness, but this problem no longer existed at this time, except for the storm earthquake pass that had fallen, the other city passes were all beaten back to their original form overnight, and they were too busy to take care of themselves and could not afford to get involved in other people's territory at all.

With a wry smile, the general of the storm warehouse felt that he was thinking too far, I am afraid that after the storm level, the storm in his hand will soon be difficult to protect, how can he still have the leisure to worry about any factional disputes. The only thing he can do now is to make trouble for the Eastern Navy as much as possible, and it can be regarded as really contributing to the common interests of the mob army.

"The order will be sent to closely monitor the movements of the Eastern Navy, and at the same time to step up the construction of outer fortifications." The general of the storm was paused, and finally gave an order without giving up, "Send someone to the south to ask for help, and see if we can wait for reinforcements from the south, after all, we are the closest to them." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, the long-term internal bars of the northern Zhuchengguan had not been able to distinguish between each other in the end, but they were cheaper than outsiders. Whether it is defeated by the Eastern Navy, or successfully waiting for reinforcements from the south, the power in the north will eventually plummet, and there is no regret about it

After nightfall, although the defenders of the storm warehouse strengthened their garrison, they did not maintain enough vigilance and did not change their work and rest time in order to prevent night attacks. They didn't know the style of the Eastern Navy, and they didn't expect that the first thing the other party would do after camping was to let most of the soldiers go to sleep and prepare for tonight's night attack.

The favorite phrase on the lips of veterans of the Eastern Navy is "To join the Eastern Navy, you must first learn to sleep during the day." "The 500 men of the new barracks finally experienced it in the early morning of the first attack on Storm Pass, but because they were in reserve at that time, even if they didn't sleep well during the day, it didn't really have much effect.

Tonight is different, Du Ziteng's cavalry battalion will not be able to play a role in the siege battle, so tonight will be the main attack by the "trapped camp", and the new battalion will respond, and they will work with the strongest combat power of the Eastern Navy to carry out the first battle since the establishment of the army. Each recruit was excited, and as a member of the Eastern Navy, they all knew that the army they were in was forging an undefeated myth.

And whether this myth can be continued well is not to rely on the veterans who are "trapped in the camp", but on their recruits. There will always be a day when veterans can no longer fight, if an army does not have a good inheritance, then it is like the truth that the rich cannot be the second generation, and the lack of combat effectiveness of the recruits will only shame the ancestors.

The Dream Man is now building the legacy of the Eastern Navy, and before that, they have successfully implanted the belief of invincibility in the veterans. When this group of recruits grows up smoothly, the Eastern Navy will begin to enter a virtuous growth and cycle, which is equivalent to having a hematopoietic function, and there is no need to be unable to bear any large casualties as it is now. At that time, Sima Fuqiang and the others would have been much easier, if it weren't for the accumulation of skill proficiency, they would no longer have to take the lead in accompanying the Eastern Navy on an expedition of thousands of miles.

Therefore, tonight's night attack on the Fengcang is not only to test the ability of the "trapped camp", but also to let the recruits grow up further, and also to slowly let go and let several generals of the Eastern Navy take charge of themselves.

At the beginning of the night, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, the Eastern Navy, which had eaten, began to move towards the Fengfeng warehouse. The twenty-mile distance of the rapid march only takes less than two hours, and it is expected that it will be able to reach the city of Fengfeng Cang in time, and the opponent will be caught off guard.

However, before that, in order to strengthen the effect of the night attack, the East China Sea team once again took on the role of nanny, using the dream man's personal ability to be far from ordinary soldiers, and first uprooted the scouts around the camp who were monitoring the movements of the East China Sea. But that's all they do, and then they began to enjoy the performances of Li Erhu and Liu Yuanzhi as spectators.

Although the operation took place earlier than in the past, the difference was not significant. The Dongzhou forces are not a "real" world with a rich nightlife, and most of the people have gone to bed after the end of the day, especially the disciplined army. So when it's time to go, basically everyone is asleep, and it doesn't matter if you have to wait until the later ugly time or the second time.

When the "trapped camp" and the new barracks arrived at the foot of the stormy warehouse, the night soldiers at the head of the city beat the drums in a panic to warn, and they didn't even understand why the scouts on the periphery had put people under the city but still had no information to give back.

At this time, Li Erhu picked up two board axes, roared deafeningly like spring thunder, and took the lead in rushing towards the three-meter city wall of the stormy warehouse. He is a good hand at attacking the city, these days after Zhang Wei's intensive training, it is even more fierce and lawless, completely ignoring the low city wall as nothing, it is an arrow step rushed up, with the help of inertia on the city wall with both feet stepped on the city wall two steps, and then with the help of the strength of the hand, the person has come to the wall, the action is so clean and neat that even Zhang Wei passed.

Behind him, a large group of "trapped" soldiers rushed forward with his hands and feet, and before the mob soldiers on duty could even raise their weapons, the number of enemies on the wall had already outnumbered their own.
