Chapter 101: Active Defense
readx;
In the art of war, the so-called "half-crossing attack" does not mean striking at the enemy's ship when it sails to the middle of the river, on the contrary, it actually means striking at the enemy when he has just unloaded less than half of his troops and horses when he lands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Giving the enemy a blow at this time can often have a very good attack effect, because at this time, the enemy's follow-up landing ship reinforcements cannot come up, and the men and horses who have landed have not yet formed a stable and rigorous battle formation, and the number of people is small, and the confidence in the heart is insufficient.
Under such circumstances, any army that encounters a fierce attack will shake its heart, and then chaos will occur, and if it fails to stabilize its position, it will completely collapse, and the final result will be that the troops that have landed will be completely annihilated on the beach!
However, this trick is not very good for the undead, because the skeleton soldier, the basic combat unit of the undead, is a puppet without intelligence, and does not know what it means to be afraid, so naturally it will not panic, and then collapse.
Fortunately, Wang Ergen and Lu Dazhuang had studied the enemy before and were already prepared!
Wang Ergen and Lu Dazhuang asked the artillery to aim not at the enemy's troops, but at ships, to be exact, those ships that had already grabbed the beach and occupied the landing field! As long as these ships are destroyed, they can also achieve the effect of blocking enemy reinforcements for a period of time!
As for the enemy's army that has already landed, they have another way to solve it!
The sound of artillery is rumbling, and the smoke of gunpowder is filling!
The undead ships with thin planks and landing ships that had not yet installed magic cannon were immediately beaten into a sieve!
Field guns may be far from the destructive power of a single shot compared to giant guns, but they have the advantage that the shells are fired quickly, very quickly!
When the giant cannon hits one shot, the field artillery can fire two or three shots! At this time, because the distance was less than 100 meters, even the smoothbore guns already had considerable accuracy, and the landing ships were all stranded on the shallows next to the pier, which were completely fixed targets, so it took only a short time for these field guns of the army to completely destroy the first batch of landing ships!
"I'll go, and the fire cover will be handed over to you!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Ergen grabbed the full-covered steel helmet on his head, pulled off his mask, and said to Lu Dazhuang.
"Ergen, how many years have we been old comrades-in-arms, don't you worry about me?" Lu Dazhuang sneered and said.
"Huh." Wang Ergen did not comment, but turned around and walked off the road.
At this time, at the gate of the city, a hoplite company armed to the teeth, wearing a shining iron armor all over the body, and carrying a long sword in his hand, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Wang Ergen getting off the city wall, the commander of the infantry company immediately trotted in front of Wang Ergen, and asked: "Tuanzao, do you want to attack now?!" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Ergen nodded, and also took a huge horse-chopping sword from the hand of his guard.
After receiving the order, several soldiers immediately stepped forward to remove the bolt of the door and pulled the gate open!
"Reload, forward!"
The commander of the infantry company gave the order, and the hoplites immediately trotted out of the city in columns.
Wang Ergen did not rush to the front line, and the second was to follow the queue and gradually fall to the middle of the queue. As a general, his duty is to command the front line, not to charge into battle, which was originally in the army's officer crash course, and Buchen personally told him to give orders, so he also carried out it thoroughly!
After leaving the city, the heavy company immediately changed its column into a horizontal formation, pulled out an extremely wide front, and under the command of the officers, pressed towards the undead landing force that was forming like a moving iron wall!
At this time, Yue Shi Niang finally arrived quickly, seeing that the city gate was wide open, and an army drove out of the city, her frightened eyes were round, in order to stop this chaotic life as soon as possible, she didn't have time to restrain the war horse, so she flew off the horse, and as soon as Fang landed, she rushed along the horse road towards the city wall!
"What are you doing here? Did the Hushan Port City fall like a harm? Yue Shi Niang's eyes were blood-red and she asked sharply.
Lu Dazhuang was watching the enemy raid for Wang Ergen, when he heard the shouting, he turned his head and found that it was a woman in a blood-stained military uniform, and he was suddenly startled: "Who are you?!" ”
"Vice Admiral of the Eastern Navy, Yue Shi Niang!" Yue Shi Niang raised her hand and pulled her epaulette and said.
Lu Dazhuang took a closer look, and only then did he let go of his doubts after he had indeed determined that the epaulettes stained red by blood belonged to the lieutenant general.
"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, we are guarding the city." Lu Dazhuang said with a smile, in front of the sister, this product has never been in shape, even if the girl is much higher than his military rank, it is a general......
Yue Shi Niang ignored Lu Dazhuang's smile, and just asked urgently, "Is there anyone like you who guards the city?" Obviously occupies the geographical advantage, but he has to send inferior troops out of the city to fight! ”
After listening to Yue Shi Niang's questioning, the corners of Lu Dazhuang's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a navy, and it will not defend the city at all." ”
It's just that Lu Dazhuang's expression was noticed by the attentive Yue Shi Niang: "What? Am I not right?! ”
Lu Dazhuang hesitated, but nodded, and tried to keep his face straight and said: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, what you said is indeed wrong!" ”
Yue Shi Niang was angry when she smoked: "Then what are you saying is right?" ”
"That's right!" Lu Dazhuang pointed at the grenade that was taking his hand from his waist~ and ignited the hoplite company thrown into the pile of skeletons: "But where the city is defended, there is never a reason for the enemy to directly attack the city wall, in the case of occupying the geographical advantage, providing fire cover for the troops who go out of the city for field battles, and cooperating with each other to strike at the enemy, so that the enemy can not get close to the city wall, is the essence of defending the city." The art of war is cloudy, and the good attacker moves above the nine heavens, which shows the flexibility of the attack method and the passivity of the defense. Therefore, closing the city gates, allowing the enemy to attack the city wall at will, and giving the initiative to the enemy, is self-defeating martial arts, and it is the most foolish! ”
Yue Shi Niang was stunned by Lu Dazhuang's quotation from the classics, and finally had to cast her eyes on the battlefield, intending to refute Lu Dazhuang with facts, but she didn't know if she didn't see it, and she was startled when she saw it, and in the face of the army's attack, the skeleton army with a numerical advantage was defeated and retreated, and the wreckage was everywhere!
As mentioned above, before the attack, the hoplite company first threw a round of hand ~ grenades at the white bone army, and under the blow of this round of hand ~ grenades, the white bone army that was barely lined up was suddenly blown up like a dog! Taking advantage of this opportunity, the hoplite company immediately raised its speed and crashed into the enemy formation like a wall, they were covered with heavy plate armor, the enemy's swords and axes could not help them at all, and the huge horse chopping sword in their hands was full of lethality, just a neat vertical split, and the skeleton soldiers in the front two or three rows were swept away and split into a skeleton!
Although the skeleton soldiers had no intelligence, they didn't know what it meant to be afraid, and there was no sign of collapse at all, but in the face of the efficient killing of the hoplite company, they still suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that the self-army had suffered heavy losses, the landing ships in the back tried their best to clean up the wreckage of the landing ships in front, but they could not complete it at all for a while and a half, and once they got closer, they would be killed and injured by the field guns on the head of the city, and all kinds of suffering were unspeakable.
In this way, the Immortal Kingdom Army obviously has superior forces, but it can't give full play, and it is suppressed by the active defense tactics of the Buchen Army!
"Awesome!" Yue Shi Niang stared at the battlefield dumbfounded, and couldn't help but praise.
Lu Dazhuang smiled proudly and said: "Your Excellency, you have a specialization in art, you are a navy, and it is normal not to know how to defend the city!" ”
"Shh Yue Shi Niang hated the villain the most thing, and when she saw Lu Dazhuang's proud boast, she immediately looked down on this thing in her heart.
Lu Dazhuang didn't know that he had been despised by his sister-in-law, and he was still boasting endlessly at this time: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, it's not me who blows, don't look at the number of enemy soldiers, but just rely on our mixed regiment to guard the west wall facing the dock for half a month!" ”
Yue Shi Niang directly filtered out all these nonsense, just stared at the hoplite company that was still advancing outside the city, cutting the skeleton soldiers into pieces, and said to herself: "There are at least a thousand white bones outside, and the army can destroy them with only a hundred people, this is one for ten!" When will our navy be able to do this in the face of the enemy's fleet? ”
Half an hour later, the thousands of skeletons who had completed the login were reduced to broken bones. The hoplite company under the command of Wang Ergen lost more than a dozen people, these guys were accidentally stabbed into the gap in the armor by the sword of the skeleton soldier, and not all of them hung up, some of them were still saved, as long as they were dragged back to the city and handed over to the medical soldiers for treatment, they would be able to go into battle again after a while!
"Withdraw!"
Wang Ergen put the big sword on his shoulder, said to the commander of the infantry company, and swaggered towards the city gate.
The undead fleet was annoyed and angry, and wanted to counterattack with the crossbows and crossbows loaded on the troop carriers, but because they rushed too close, they were sunk by a bunch of field guns on the city's head, and they retreated out of the range of fire.
