Chapter 927: Besieging the Main City

However, as soon as the battle began, General Moses sensed that something was wrong. The other party seems to have a very powerful long-range attack weapon, this long-range attack weapon, it seems to be farther than the attack distance of the cavalry archers, and more importantly, the lethality of this long-range attack weapon, that is too big, looking at it from a distance, I only see these black and non-slippery guys like burning sticks, constantly bubbling dark red fire, but, just like that, the fire flashed, and on his side, a large number of people died.

In this way, it didn't last long at all, and the defensive front built by his own heart on the south bank of the Rama River had already been beaten into a mess by the other side. At this time, under these circumstances, General Moses knew very well in his heart that if this trend continued, it would not be long before his defensive front could no longer hold on. In desperation, General Moses ordered the remnants of the defensive combat force to move into the second line of defense.

It should be said that under such circumstances, General Moses' choice was still very correct. This is because only by holding sufficient combat strength can we meet greater challenges. In the defense line of the spawn employer on the south bank of the Rama River, the garrison there had difficulty holding out because of the opponent's magical long-range attack weapons. Rather than being there and being killed alive by the other party, it is better to abandon the first defensive front and move into the second defensive line to show itself.

------------------------

So, in the following time, with the order of General Moses, all the remnants of the combat forces in the first defensive front holding the south bank of the Seroma River retreated backwards and moved into the second defensive front.

At this time, under these circumstances, General Ballas seized this very rare opportunity and ordered his hoplite combat units to attack immediately. Yes, according to the pre-planned operation, as soon as the place begins to retreat, under the cover of the M42 heavy machine gun behind it, their own Chinese cavalry, quickly rush over, and then, gaining a foothold in the difficult position of the Rama River, establish a beachhead and prepare for the next step of the continued offensive.

At this time, on the other side of the Rama River, hundreds of hoplites set out at the same time, on a battle line of nearly dozens of miles, almost at the same time, launched an attack on the south bank of the Rama River. This Rama River is about 300 meters wide, but the river is not very deep, so these hoplites can wade across the river.

In front, hundreds of hoplites waded through the water, flying horses and whips, although the speed of the march was relatively slow under the obstruction of the river, but fortunately, the enemy fortifications on the opposite bank had basically been destroyed, so they were not attacked by many heads at all. At the same time, the M42 heavy machine guns on the other side of the Rama River were still looking for the remaining enemy fire points, and once they found them, a string of bullets would shoot them and destroy them directly. Therefore, under such circumstances, the hundreds of hoplites who crossed the Rama River basically did not suffer any losses.

----------------------

Finally, in about half an hour, hundreds of hoplites, mixed with dozens of gold medal hoplites, finally rushed to the south bank of the Rama River, and killed all the enemy guards who had not had time to withdraw. Then, finally gained a foothold on the south bank of the Rama River.

Subsequently, other combat units, including the M42 heavy machine gun combat unit, and some logistics support forces, such as supply vehicles, and other important materials, were finally transported to the south bank of the Rama River through the only bridge over the Guò Rama River.

At the same time, along with that batch of logistics supplies, there was also Liu Qingshan's front-line command headquarters. Yes, now, the front has moved forward, then, as the command headquarters, it cannot be too far from the front line. Soon after, in the shouting of the Rama River, in the temporary headquarters that had just been set up, Liu Qingshan issued the final battle order: "General Baras, you lead the main force of the remnants of the army, like the second defensive front of the Sumter tribe, to attack. The main combat strategy is to give full play to the long-range attack capability of our M42 heavy machine gun as much as possible to minimize casualties. I myself am leading another reserve to meet your attack. The entire battle plan must be completed within 24 hours. "

In this way, after the troops had rested for half a day, the main force of the battle, led by General Baras, immediately began to launch a fierce attack on the second line of defense of the Sumter tribe. In offensive operations, the M42 heavy machine gun played the leading role. Dada, dada...... The dense gunshots finally rang out again, and that cheerful rhythm, to Liu Qingshan's ears, was simply a very beautiful piece of music. Da

However, this bright rhythm is a clarion call for death for the enemy army. With the eagerly dense gunfire, the second line of defense of the Sumter tribe was soon beaten out of the way. At the same time, in the process, although the opponent also used guò archers, he carried out long-range attacks on the combat troops led by Barras. However, the inspection fired by these archers could not be the same as the bullets fired by the M42 heavy machine gun.

And just like that, watching, the second line of defense will soon collapse. At this moment, all of a sudden, in front of the right, a reinforced combat unit of the enemy army appeared, which was attacking behind its main force. After hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help frowning, he knew that the other party seemed to have realized that the threat posed by his main combat force to their second defensive front was too great, so under the situation that the frontal defense force was severely lost, they tried in vain to outflank their main combat force through this kind of long-distance detour.

In fact, Liu Qingshan's speculation is very accurate. In the front-line headquarters of the Sumter tribe, General Moses was sweating profusely and was busy at this time. However, despite this, he already knew very well in his heart that in the face of the other party's possession of this magical long-range attack weapon, the defense line he had carefully constructed looked like nothing.

Therefore, in this case, he can only use the long-distance detour to outflank the way of guò, mobilize a cavalry combat force that is easy to clear out, detour back to the back of the opponent's position, and then give the opponent a surprise attack. Moreover, the main targets of the attack are those ranged attack weapons that can emit black and red flames. Now, General Moses gritted his teeth at this kind of attack weapon that spewed black and red flames like a burning stick.

At this time, Liu Qingshan took out the map and looked at it carefully. He found that if the opponent's roundabout combat unit wanted to detour behind its main combat force, it would definitely have to pass through that jungle. There, too, is an ideal place for an ambush.

After thinking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile coldly, and then led his own general reserve team to march quickly towards that jungle. Liu Qingshan believed that with the five M42 heavy machine guns in his hands and nearly 100 heavy cavalry, it should not be a problem to destroy the opponent's roundabout combat force.

And, more importantly, he will set up an ambush there in advance to catch the other party off guard. In this way, the odds are higher. So, Liu Qingshan hurried up, and his parents led the best reserve team, and it only took three minutes to finally come to that jungle. There, the five M42 heavy machine guns, quickly prepared, opened their positions, and began to fire fiercely at the enemy troops passing by at any time.

At the same time, the other nearly 100 hoplites were ambushed in the leafy places, and once the time was ripe, these nearly 100 hoplites would rush like tigers coming down the mountain. Ten minutes later, Liu Qingshan heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and listened to the sound, at least more than 300 local cavalry combat troops were rushing towards this place frantically. Now, Liu Qingshan is actually a little inexplicably nervous, perhaps, he has not personally handled this kind of ambush for a long time.

Finally, not long after, the long-range combat force of the Sumter tribe finally rushed into the leafy woods. This woods are very complicated, not only are they leafy, but at the same time, the roads are rough and rocky, so the cavalry cannot walk here at any speed.

---------------------

Therefore, in this case, the long-range combat force on the side of the Sumter tribe can only slow down. Otherwise, if the speed is too fast, it is very likely that the horse will lose its front hooves and change the rocks that are scattered all over the ground, and once this situation occurs in front, it is easy to cause a chain reaction, and in the case of high speed, those cavalry who follow closely behind will not be able to restrain their feet and will be tripped to the ground.

At this time, Liu Qingshan's eyes were staring at the enemy cavalry combat unit that was slowing down, and suddenly, Liu Qingshan gave an order: "Fire!" So, immediately after, da-da-da, da-da, the roar of the M42 heavy machine gun suddenly sounded. Dense bullets shot out and passed through the dense foliage, and at the same time, except for the dozens of horses at the front, fell in response. So, the roar of machine guns, the neighing of war horses, there was a chaos.

In this jungle, the space is relatively narrow, therefore, the opponent's back-named lightly armed cavalry has very little room for maneuver, so in this case, the cavalry of the enemy's back, which can be dyed into a force, basically becomes a live target for the five M42-type heavy machine guns. Da da, da-da-da. The dense bullets continued to fire, and more targets were eliminated one after another. At this time, Liu Qingshan felt that the reality was almost over, so he ordered the heavy machine guns to stop firing, and his heavy cavalry immediately rushed out frantically, shouting all the way, shouting, waving the weapons in their hands, and facing the cavalry of the big enemy army that had already been out of order, like a storm sweeping leaves, covering the past.

----------------------

Click, click, click...... At this time, Liu Qingshan saw that the difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry suddenly became very obvious. Relatively speaking, lightly armed cavalry are good at long-distance running, they are relatively fast, and they must have an innate advantage in terms of mobility and flexibility.

However, once progress is made, the offensive capability of the Chinese cavalry is not comparable to that of the lightly armed cavalry. After a slashing and slaughter, the cavalry combat unit that came to the Sumter tribe had been firmly defeated by Liu Qingshan's five M42 heavy machine guns, suffered heavy losses, greatly reduced morale, and became a frightened bird. Therefore, in this case, the nearly 100 Chinese cavalry who had been waiting impatiently for Liu Qingshan, the city sand, the results of the battle were self-evident. In just ten minutes, two or three hundred enemy troops cleared out the cavalry combat unit, and the whole army was annihilated.

The dense forest was full of enemy corpses, and of course, there were many corpses of war horses. More horses, frightened, fled and rushed away. It only took less than half an hour to wipe out 2-3 hundred lightly armed cavalry combat troops of the other side, and it should be said that the Warring States were very good. Liu Qingshan felt very happy, randomly, he horned the troops, returned to his temporary headquarters the same way, at this time, he knew that the Barras side, had successfully destroyed the second defensive front of the Sumter tribe, and was continuing to attack towards the deep area.

---------------------

Under such circumstances, Liu Qingshan immediately followed the general reserve and followed the main combat force led by Baras, and also carried out an in-depth assault. Liu Qingshan knew that in the future, he would enter the real depth of the Sumter tribe. It should be said that after breaking through the opponent's two defensive lines one after another, the combat forces have been basically destroyed. Next, it is only necessary to capture the nest of the Sumter tribe, and then this combat mission will be a complete success.

Along the way, although they also encountered some small groups of enemy combat troops, they were not vulnerable at all and could not stop the advance of Liu Qingshan's combat troops. Rushing all the way, galloping all the way, the entire combat unit, like a sharp sword, went straight into the heart of the enemy. Finally, after most of the day's attack, Liu Qingshan and Baras's combat troops finally met in victory on the outskirts of the main city of the Sumter tribe.

However, according to General Baras, he was now planning an attack on the main city of the Sumter tribe. This main city of the Sumter tribe looks very strong. Moreover, on the city walls, a large number of long-range bows and arrows are deployed, and in this case, it is difficult to achieve any results with only their own M42 heavy machine guns. This is because this M42 heavy machine gun is very effective against combat units such as infantry and cavalry, but if it is used to attack buildings, the attack effect is not very good.

At this time, General Barras looked at Liu Qingshan with some embarrassment, and then said: "Commander-in-chief, I think it's best for us to call in some siege catapults and use this kind of professional engineering weapon to contribute to this main city." Otherwise, in a short period of time, it would be impossible for us to contribute to this main city with the combat strength in our hands. Moreover, forcibly attacking and penetrating the defense will also cause a lot of unnecessary losses. ”

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan nodded. Subsequently, Liu Qingshan ordered General Ballas to lead an elite ace heavy cavalry combat force to Leiqiong Town to meet the arrival of the siege catapults.

At this time, Lei Qiong Town had already become Liu Qingshan's real outpost base. Boot camps, cavalry training camps, chariot factories, and some of the most important and basic military facilities are all very well built. Moreover, according to the content of the flying pigeon's biography, Liu Qingshan already knew that in the chariot factory, so far, more than a dozen siege catapults have been manufactured, which can fully meet the needs of the current project.

However, since the most elite combat units of gnats had all been drawn to the front line, Mr. Pete, who was in the position of his own outpost in the town of Leiqiong, strongly advocated that it would be better to return an elite combat unit to receive a group of siege catapults. Otherwise, due to the long distance and complex shape, if you don't get it right, these siege catapults that you have worked so hard to produce will fall into the hands of the enemy army or be destroyed. Therefore, it is better to be cautious.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Liu Qingshan sent General Barras to personally lead an elite combat force to Leiqiong Town to pick up the dozen siege catapults.

Now, Liu Qingshan is becoming more and more satisfied with General Barras's expression. Not only heroic, but also good at strategy. In the face of the opponent's well-defended main city, he did not get carried away because of the momentum of covering all the way, but was able to calm down and calmly consider the way to attack the city, to be honest, it was not easy to be able to do this, as a general who has always been charging into battle.
