Chapter 897: Preparing to Fight Back 2
Soon after, Liu Qingshan faced off against the camp tent Yake, Pete and Baras, and under the protection of dozens of guards, they finally came to the front position. As far as the eye can see, on the opposite side, is the military camp of the Iliad tribe. At the front, there are seven to eight guard towers, and the other side's guard towers look very distinctive, taller, and more solid. Bands of patrolmen were patrolling back and forth from the guard towers one after another.
Even, Liu Qingshan could hear the slogans of the other party's soldiers during training from the other party's military camp. The defensive positions of the entire Iliad tribe seem to be well-defined, and the layout in all aspects is very reasonable, and it is clear that the other side is fully prepared. Moreover, some of the damage caused by the two battles launched by General Barras has now been repaired, and there is no trace left at all.
After seeing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at General Barras. Then, he continued: "It seems that the other party's position is really very good, especially those guard towers, or look, the biggest threat to us." ”
At this time, General Barras was still looking at the enemy position opposite, his face looked very grim, he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Mr. Pete, who had been standing aside without speaking, kept rubbing his beard and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the medicine box has captured all this tribe of the Aeriats, and the danger of these guard towers must be solved first. Otherwise, with the very strong defenses of the guard towers, our combat troops would have suffered great losses when they launched a charge. ”
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but nodded. At this time, General Ark said: "Since this kind of alert tower can play such a powerful role in battle, then, if we can also build our own alert tower here, and see it on the forward position, and confront the opponent's alert tower, then, perhaps, in a certain way, we can improve our overall combat capability." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mr. Pitt turned around and smiled at General Ark, and then said, "General Ark, having said that, it is so easy to carry the other party's guard tower ambush and build a dense guard tower!" At the very least, the range of the opposing side's guard tower must cover our construction site, so wouldn't our builders have completely become their live targets? Unless, the guard tower that leads the other party is destroyed, we can build our own guard tower there. ”
-----------------------
In this way, Liu Qingshan and the four of them observed the forward position for most of the day, and they also discussed it for a long time, but the specific combat plan has naturally not been worked out.
When he returned to the outpost base, and Liu Qingshan went out to kill General Ballas and stayed, he knew that now, after some full observation and reconnaissance, there were basically two other right-hand men, Jacques and Pitt, then General Ballas should be of great help in formulating the entire battle plan. Now, he just wanted to hear what kind of battle plan General Ballas could make.
After taking a seat, Liu Qingshan went straight to the topic: "My respected General Barras, I don't know how your battle plan has been formulated?" I'm looking forward to seeing you come up with a really exciting battle plan for me. ”
After hearing this, General Barras stood up thoughtfully, and after a long silence, he said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I think that our battle plan should include the following points. First, the first to destroy the enemy's guard towers. To the point that Mr. Ark said, these towers are too threatening, and if they are not destroyed, they will inevitably cause too much damage to our assault troops. Let us lose our troops, and more importantly, we will lose our spirit.
"Therefore, the breakthrough of this battle is to defeat the opponent's guard tower first. Specifically, since we can already produce engineering at the same time, we should give full play to their role. I have consulted with Mr. Pete that this kind of engineering is so aggressive that the distance of the attack should be beyond the range of the Alert Tower's bow and arrow. That way, things will be much easier. Of course, when our siege catapults launch a long-range attack on the opponent's guard tower, the opponent is very likely to send heavy cavalry to attack our siege catapults, so it is necessary to deploy corresponding protection forces near the lights of our engineering and vehicle lights. This should be very easy to zipline, though.
"Second, once we have destroyed one of the enemy's guard towers, we will quickly organize our engineers under the long-range cover of our heavy cavalry archers and build our own guard towers at the forefront of the attack. In this way, one of the opposing guard towers was knocked down, and we built our own guard tower there. We will build our guard tower all the way to the door of the other party's house. In this way, the whole battlefield will be very beneficial to us. ”
----------------------
Listening to General Barras talking about his battle plan with a clear eye, Liu Qingshan also listened to it with relish. It is undeniable that this family and this still shake the brain, and the two operational points he just output are very much in line with reality. Moreover, one link after another, can essentially resist the strengths of the other party, for which Liu Qingshan admires it very much.
Seeing that Liu Qingshan listened so seriously and was so engaged, General Ballas spoke more energetically. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "In this way, as long as we can successfully build at least five of our own guard towers on the forward position, then we will be equivalent to occupying the commanding heights of the entire battlefield. In this way, under the long-range attack of the five guard towers, the counterattack momentum of the opponent's forces will definitely be well suppressed. Then, relying on the non-vigilant tower, we will give full play to the long-range attack effect of their heavy cavalry archers and siege catapults, and launch an attack on the most important military facilities of the opponent in advance. For example, the opponent's boot camp and chariot manufacturing practices, once the two most important military facilities are destroyed, the source of the opponent's military strength will be cut off. Then, with these five guard towers, if our follow-up combat troops can continue to arrive, then, we can take the opponent's main city directly in one go, if the follow-up combat troops can not keep up in time, or our forward attack force is severely damaged, we can also rely on these five guard towers to build a solid defense line here, surround the opponent, even if they can't launch an attack for the time being, they will be trapped to death after a long time. ”
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but nod again and again. Finally, Liu Qingshan patted General Barras on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Very good, very good, very good!" General Baras, I believe that the battle plan you have designated is a very perfect battle plan. So let's do it, according to this battle plan, from now on, we will enter the countdown to the general offensive. After three days, an attack had to be launched. I'm here to wait for your good news. ”
After hearing this, General Barras stood up and gave Liu Qingshan a very standard military salute this time, and then replied sonorously: "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will definitely launch on time after three days." And, in one day, it will certainly be possible to take the main city of the Iliad. ”
-----------------------
Looking at the back of General Barras gradually moving away, a smile appeared on Liu Qingshan's face. He had a hunch that this time, this General Barras would not disappoint him. This can be seen from the plan he formulated. It should be said that with many years of combat experience, Liu Qingshan was able to realize that this combat plan was basically able to plan all his combat resources as a whole, which was very reasonable. In this case, unless there is any unexpected circumstance, then, in this battle, you will definitely be the final victor.
Even, at this time, Liu Qingshan's eyes had already appeared in front of his eyes the moment when the main city of the local Iliad was captured, and he cheered and celebrated the victory. On this day, it should be said that he, Liu Qingshan, has been waiting for too long.
---------------------
Of course, for Liu Qingshan, as the commander-in-chief of the entire battle situation, his vision should be more long-term. Now, Liu Qingshan's grievances about the plan formulated by General Barras, combined with his own deployment of all troops in this Thracian region, have formed a battle plan of his own in his heart.
This combat plan is her own combat plan. Because it is the commander-in-chief. He must take into account the situation of the entire battle situation and the various variables that may arise in the occupation. There were two main points, first, once the battle had begun, the Aryans had to be notified to send reinforcements. Liu Qingshan has 100 percent confidence in this. He knew that the Aryan tribe had now sat on a ship for him, and that when they were attacked by the Tonita tribe, he did everything in his power to help them. Therefore, the Aryan tribe will be well aware of this, and the Aryan tribe is skillful, and it is a man of temperament, and he will definitely know how to repay it.
The second advantage is that in terms of logistics and supply center, although he does not have a lot of troops, but before that, he had secretly built a cavalry training camp there, in fact, to prevent possible emergencies. So far, that boot camp has trained at least dozens of hoplites, including hoplite archers. In this way, self-reflection can use this unit as its own general reserve. When necessary, they can be pulled up, and then it will be of great use.
---------------------
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed. At this time, the Malay newspaper suddenly said that in the logistics supply center, the Gothic hoplites once again appeared, but the strength was not very large, only a dozen people.
After learning the news, Liu Qingshan just smiled lightly. He knew that, in this way, the Goths were indeed no longer capable of launching a large-scale attack. In that battle, nearly 100 of their hoplites and cavalry archers were wiped out in one fell swoop, which was a huge blow to their comprehensive combat strength.
However, they were very unwilling, so they had to send some sporadic combat forces to carry out this kind of harassing attack. In fact, Liu Qingshan knew that now, in his own logistics support center, the helpless guard tower had already been built, so even if the Goths sent a large group of men and horses to attack again, in a short period of time, they would not succeed, because the five guard towers, according to General Barras's report, are in very good locations, and they can cooperate with each other and respond to each other to form an excellent overall defense capability.
Therefore, although he got the news of Tanma Boguang, Liu Qingshan was not worried about the situation there. And in reality, it is. On the side of the logistical supply center, seventeen Gothic hoplites charged in front and behind, and seven to eight hoplite archers were making long-range attacks on several guard towers there. However, at the same time, from the five guard towers, the dense arrows fell like rain, and shot out of the sky at the sound of a real breaking of the sky, and soon, the dozen or so heavy cavalry of the other side were lost, and all of them were shot into hedgehogs. The cavalry archers in the back, since their range was no longer than the range of the bows and arrows in the vigilance tower, so their long-range attacks lost their superiority. It has become a reciprocal mutual attack.
However, the defense of the guard tower is difficult, and in this regard, the hoplites on the Goth side have no better way, on the contrary, in the face of the fierce arrows, although they keep moving their positions, and even the wooden shield in the user's hand covers all the vital parts, but, after all, those arrows are too dense, and the water falls like rain, even if they can do some of their own vital parts, but their war horses can not escape the fate of being shot.
In this way, the Gothic cavalry and heavy melee cavalry continued to attack Liu Qingshan's logistics supply center one after another. However, the five guard towers did play an extremely outstanding role at this time, raining arrows one after another, directly shooting a large number of the opponent's heavy cavalry to death. Or shoot them to serious injuries and have no choice but to turn back.
In this way, it is obvious that the safety of the logistics supply center has been guaranteed, and there is no need for Liu Qingshan to worry about it. Moreover, it also saved itself a lot of combat forces, and the certificate number was used to launch an attack on the Iliad.
In addition, Liu Qingshan's Chinese army tent was brightly lit, and Mr. Pete, Ark would use General Barras, all of them. However, tonight, including Liu Qingshan, although he had dinner here, he didn't touch a drop of wine. The war is imminent, Liu Qingshan is addicted to alcohol, but at this critical moment, he can still hold himself back. After all, this battle is not trivial, and it directly determines whether or not you can gain a firm foothold on this Getrass continent, which is of great significance.
At this time, Liu Qingshan looked around, and his face looked a little cold.
"General Ballas, I wonder how you're getting ready? Tomorrow morning, our assault on the Iliad will begin. Now, I want to know how you're ready. Liu Qingshan's tone was less casual than usual, more solemn, more strict, and in addition, there was a kind of majesty.
Shida, this characteristic of Liu Qingshan, whether it is General Ark, Mr. Pitt, or General Barras, is very clear, very familiar with and admired. In normal times, it seems that Liu Qingshan is a very casual person, not like chatting about the world, talking and laughing, and even often making visionary jokes, without the demeanor of the lord at all. Therefore, Liu Qingshan usually gives people the feeling that he is a very approachable person.
However, at the critical moment, Liu Qingshan can only exude a kind of king's domineering from the depths of his heart and from his bones, this kind of king's domineering cannot be challenged, only obedience, only the most comfortable. It is a kind of majesty, which can only be possessed by a general who has experienced a hundred battles, who has experienced too many ups and downs, and who is accustomed to seeing too many vicissitudes of life.
After hearing this, General Barras stood up, and his face was also very grim. He solemnly spoke: "Report to the lord, everything is ready." Now the total number of combat units that we are able to participate in the attack has reached three hundred units. Among them, one hundred hoplites, fifty hoplites, one hundred pikemen, and twelve siege catapults.
"I think that, according to the plan that has been made, with the attack strength of these three hundred combat units in our hands, tomorrow's battle will definitely be triumphant, and before dark, we will definitely be able to capture the main city on the Iliad side."
