Chapter 118: The sword is out of its sheath and shocks the world

said that it took Zhou Daqun a few more days to finally enter the auspicious city.

He didn't get to see the legendary son of heaven right away, so he was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to rest at the Jixiang Hotel and wait for the summons.

This is the rest of the month.

The snow in the north is falling more rapidly.

Sun Yingjie's cat exchanged for information in one night, which made Wang Yu very happy.

The archery skills of the people with colored eyes, or the accuracy of the people, are really poor.

The Viper guessed that perhaps it was because the arquebus lead was irregular, so that the gunner could not judge the exact time of excitation, which affected the accuracy.

Or maybe it was Hu Yue's cold weather that made them lose their sense of acuity as shooters.

Whatever the reason, this discovery is a real delight.

"Although I don't know if it's an example, it still has great guiding significance for the formulation of our next combat plan, and the most important thing at hand is the defense of the head and back. ”

From Wang Yu's words, everyone has already understood the combat mode against the Semu people in the future, that is, shooting.

It may be a counterfire after an ambush or a preset battlefield.

Only in this way will the auspicious army focus on strengthening the head and back defenses, which are most vulnerable to gunfire in the lying position.

"It's not realistic to supply defensive equipment from the mainland, so we can only rely on Hu Yue. ”

Wang Yu didn't just say that, he did it.

The next day, he entered Xingfeng City and met Hu Yue Lao Wang.

When Lao Wang learned of his request, his face gradually became difficult to see.

"What, Your Majesty is in trouble?" Seeing this, Wang Yu directly asked what was in his heart.

Lao Wang hesitated a little, but under Wang Yu's scrutinizing gaze, he finally replied: "We have some armor, but it is not the kind described by the general, and our technology cannot be so delicate, so ......"

Wang Yu thought that King Hu Yue was afraid that he would not pay it back if he borrowed it, so he would do so, although the other party's explanation was not necessarily what he said in his heart, but it was better than refusing it openly.

So he said: "As long as Your Majesty provides enough iron materials and tools, we can forge it ourselves." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Wang had no reason to refuse, so he had to respond helplessly.

Seeing that it was done, Wang Yu was in a better mood, so he revealed the recent battle plan of the Jixiang Army to Lao Wang, which was regarded as a generous reward from the other party.

After listening carefully, Lao Wang asked very urgently: "The general said that the people of Semu can be driven into the sea in March?"

Wang Yu said: "This is a very likely thing, but it is unknown whether it will go to the sea or go north to the Western Zhou Dynasty in the end." ”

Lao Wang stroked two handfuls of gray beards, nodded thoughtfully, and said in a weak voice: "It would be good if you drove down to the sea, and Hu Yue couldn't guarantee safety when you went to the Western Zhou Dynasty." ”

Wang Yu didn't answer again, and after taking the warrant of pig iron, he went directly back to the camp in the north of the city.

In the next few days, the auspicious army relied on Lao Wang's approval and continuously brought out a large amount of pig iron from the warehouse in Xingfeng City.

A separate piece of land was also set aside in the auspicious military camp and was at the disposal of the craftsmen in the army.

Since there is no large-scale equipment, Wang Yu and the others think of a much simpler method.

First, the pig iron is smelted into steel, and after the mold is made, the billet is burned red and forged in the mold to finally produce the armor parts.

Then, the parts are connected in series with beef tendons, and the phosphorus armor is formed in rows.

As long as it is not hit by a vertical angle, the bullet will most likely be bounced away by the arc on the surface of the scales, and it will hardly cause damage to the human body.

In order to test its defensive effect, Zhang Peiyu deliberately built two mannequins of human bodies, put on armor and then shoot live ammunition.

Except for the splash damage after a vertical hit, hits below a 60-degree angle do almost no damage.

In order to further enhance the frontal defense of the soldiers, Wang Yu deliberately changed the mold to make the protrusion arc of each part of the phosphorus armor larger.

After Yeshan was different, Wang Yu and the others also created enough phosphorus armor.

By the end of February, all the auspicious reinforcements had been redressed, and at this time, the pig iron reserves in Xingfeng City had been completely emptied by Wang Yu.

Throughout the month of February, Hu Yue had urged Wang Yu three times to send troops to drive out the Semu people.

Wang Yu dealt with Lao Wang on the grounds of insufficient armor, and at the same time formulated a new and appropriate battle plan, which made Lao Wang very dissatisfied for a while, thinking that Wang Yu was using the word 'drag' to refrain from leaving.

Finally, under the fourth urging, Jixiang reinforcements pulled out the camp and marched east along the Xingyao River.

"The mascot went east. ”

"Hey, I don't know if the cold climate can adapt to the mascot who is accustomed to the four seasons like spring, and how can I get it if there is an accident!"

"You don't say some depressing words, but I have seen a few auspicious soldiers, and at first glance they are the masters who can endure hardships. ”

"Don't fight, it's right to get rid of the people of the color eyes right now, I hope the mascot can use the strength to deal with the people of Daxia to deal with the people of the color eyes. ”

Hu and Yue folk had mixed opinions on the strategy of Jixiang reinforcements to advance eastward, and some believed that they should wait until late spring and early summer, when the weather was suitable before starting the war.

Some people believe that the sooner they get rid of the Semu people, the less suffering the tribesmen will be.

For a time, the two sides with different opinions broke out into a fierce verbal exchange, and neither was convinced.

"Jixiang, it's really scary!"

The eldest prince who learned the news locked the whole person in an opaque house, auspicious, and had already planted a 'cause' in the hearts of the people of Huyue.

Now the 'fruit' is slowly emerging.

Even if it was just an initial small outburst, the huge energy it showed had made him, who had never experienced a storm of public opinion, anxious.

Hu Yue has no shortage of smart people, let alone political geniuses.

So even though there is no handle behind the auspicious operation, he can also find the truth from the clues, and there is no shortage of mascots in all this now.

But so what?

Therefore, in the few days when the entire mainland entered the early spring of March, Lao Wang almost had to get drunk every night to fall asleep.

The auspicious reinforcements boarded the transport ships, and under the cover of the gunboats, they marched all the way east.

Hu Yue's climate is good, although the flow rate of the Beixing Yao River is not fast at this time, it is not frozen, at most there is a thin layer of ice on the surface, Wang Yu They call it twist jelly, the kind that breaks when it jumps.

After the fleet approached the area controlled by the Semu people, 5,000 reinforcements disembarked from the ship and went ashore, together with Shi Xingchang and Sun Yingjie's troops, and began to deploy for battle.

On March 6, news came from Neiying that reinforcements from the Semu would arrive in April.

This is an extremely important piece of information.

In April, when the weather warms up, it is the time when everything recovers, and it is the time for a decisive battle.

It is also reasonable for the people of Semu to choose to send additional troops at that time.

However, for the auspicious reinforcements, it is imperative to drive these people into the sea first, otherwise the prestige created will gradually collapse and fall short without the support of sufficient achievements.

As for what Jixiang should do after the reinforcements arrived, it was not something he should worry about.

"This time we are fighting in another country, so the use of many weapons is restricted, and before the battle, the reconnaissance company must clear the surrounding Hu Yue spies. ”

Wang Yu's words were full of murderous energy.

It is necessary to 'clear' the spies without leaving the handle, so the viper and the great white shark naturally become the main force.

"In front is the front line fortress of the Semu people, with about 3,000 defenders, and we will surround the point to send reinforcements. ”

Wang Yu's desire to encircle the point and send reinforcements was not a decision made on a whim, but a conclusion based on the analysis of time, place, people and overall planning.

The fortress garrisoned by the three thousand colored people was not something that five thousand auspicious soldiers could easily conquer in cold weather.

Instead of fighting a protracted war, or a war of attrition in which the enemy is wounded by 1,000 and 800 is self-inflicted, it is better to feign a siege, attract reinforcements from the opponent, and then destroy them one by one.

In this way, auspiciousness moves from passive to active, controlling the direction of the war and deciding when to start and when to end.

"Forty guns will be dismantled, and we will attack the city on three sides, leaving only the east gate alone. ”

Surround three and lack one, it is a strategy to attack the heart.

"There are 500 people at each city gate, and the remaining 3,700 people, two companies of the Glory Regiment and the Steel Team as mobile troops, and the rest are ambushed on both sides of the east avenue of the city, ambushing.

At the same time, the gunboats were ready to support and march east at any time to shell the reinforcements of Semu. ”

Everyone has no opinion on the deployment of the chief of staff, and even Zhang Peiyu, who is an old qualification, is respectful.

"Prepare to go, and attack the city early tomorrow morning. ”

In the early morning of March 7, the west fortress of Semu was in an emergency on three sides, and the auspicious flowering bombs exploded in the city wall and the urn city.

The auspicious reinforcements were only shelling, and the infantry did not attack the city, but they had already made the defenders frightened.

Wang Yu put down the binoculars, not knowing whether to be bitter or laughing in his heart.

The figures of Huyue herdsmen appeared on the walls of the fortress, but most of them were women, driven by the people behind them, trying to repair the damaged city walls.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, but at the moment, where is it just as simple as 'beating', human life is like grass, and it is fortunate to be able to survive. ”

When Wang Yu said this, his mood was sad.

The current Hu Yue is so similar to the auspiciousness eight years ago.

"Stop shelling. ”

It's not that Wang Yu is merciful, but the people of Semu are in chaos, and the messenger asking for help has gone out of the east gate, and there is no need to bombard the innocent Hu Yue people to have fun.

At noon on 8 March, a troop of about 1,000 soldiers rushed to the fortress with great swagger.

"This ...... Although we only invested 1,500 people to feign attacking the city, what is the point of only sending 1,000 people here?" Zhang Peiyu was speechless.

Judging from his years of experience in defending the city, he really can't understand which one the people are playing right now.

Wang Yu didn't care so much, only a thousand people, and before he was in his eyes, he let him enter the city.

On the evening of March 8, Jixiang shelled the fortress again.

The shelling lasted for an hour, and the city wall that had been repaired during the day became full of holes again, and the Semu people repeated their old tricks and drove the Hu Yue people to the city.

On March 9, just before the dawn appeared, Jixiang began indiscriminate shelling again.

The defenders, who had just been supported by a thousand reinforcements, were even more panicked.

Due to the reason for Jixiang's use of flowering bullets, the losses of the Semu defenders were not small, and the city wall was damaged in many places, and the entire defense line was already stormy, so they sent people out of the city again to ask for help.

All this has not escaped the auspicious eyes.

On the 11th of March, 3,000 men with artillery came westward along the main road.

"Chief of Staff, can you fight?" Zhang Peiyu looked at the dense colored people and swallowed his saliva.

"According to the plan, first eliminate the gunners, and then hit the soldiers. ”

The order was passed down step by step.

The swaggering man of color did not perceive the great danger hidden in the snow.

In their opinion, even if the natives here have artillery, they are not their opponents, as long as the artillery is erected on the city wall, the natives will scatter like birds and beasts.

The footsteps of the visitors are getting closer.

Kilometers, 800 meters, 500 meters, now it is in range.

Wait, wait, wait. Wang Yu admonished herself.

As a manager, he went to the front line against the crowd, not only to prove his talent, but also to prove his self-confidence and courage.

In the several wars that Ji Xiang has endured, he has hardly performed to show any brilliance, so he urgently needs to make a name for himself now, even if His Majesty does not care about these things.

It's the glory of being a soldier.

The enemy is close again, three hundred meters, two hundred meters......

Right now, it's within 100 meters.

However, Wang Yu still did not fire the first shot.

Others didn't hear the gunshots, so naturally they didn't shoot at random.

Wang Yu was waiting, waiting for all the 3,000 reinforcements of the Semu people to enter his encirclement, or rather, let the delayed artillery enter the firing range before launching an attack.

After another half of the tea time, the Type 04 rifle in Wang Yu's hand suddenly rang out, and an officer on horseback in the crosshair fell in response.

Then, the sound of gunfire continued all around.

Stunned by the sudden ambush, the Semu people came back to their senses after losing nearly 100 men, and used a kneeling position to shoot at the auspicious soldiers in a lying position.

Seeing this, Wang Yu finally landed on a big stone in his heart, and his skills were poor.

The Color-Eyed people use the method of concentrated fire attack to hit the opponent, and pursue dense bullet rain coverage to injure the enemy.

But the mascot had already prepared, and most of the lead bullets were bounced off by the phosphorus armor defense, and only some of the tricky ones would cause damage to the soldiers.

In contrast, auspiciousness does much more damage to the people of Semu.

In addition to the higher hit rate from a higher impact point, the Coloreyer's defense is nearly equal to zero.

That is, the middle one falls down, and if it falls, it is difficult to get up again.

The two sides only fired half a pillar of incense at each other, and the gunfire of the people with colored eyes gradually thinned out.

Wang Yu recorded various data on both sides from time to time, and inadvertently found that the auspicious soldier fired two shots, and the other party could fire one shot, two to one, and the other party was completely defeated.

This means that with the same number of both sides, Jixiang is equivalent to twice as many troops when attacking.

What does this mean?

This means that auspiciousness has the advantage of crushing.

Whether it is fire suppression or accidental damage caused by stray bullets, the balance is tilted in favor of auspiciousness.

After judging that the other party had no will to fight, Wang Yu decisively ordered a charge.

A wave of streams.

After the incident, the auspicious sergeant lost 566 people, wounded 947 people, killed more than 1,000 enemies, wounded more than 1,300, and the rest surrendered.

At this point, more than 3,500 people of the invading army of more than 10,000 people have been killed or captured, and the more than 3,000 defenders of the fortress are also in danger, and the remaining more than 2,000 people are afraid that they will not be able to bear it.

On March 12, the day after the auspicious all-extinction reinforcements, a heavy artillery bombardment was launched on the fortress of the extreme west.

This is different from the past, after the shelling, the auspicious soldiers launched a rapid siege of the city.

The grenade opened the way, and then the bayonet of the city head was scrambling.

This is also the link where the auspicious soldiers lose the most.

The defenders have a natural numerical advantage, and the mascot can only rely on his skill and will to resist the attack of the Semu crowd and buy time for the comrades behind him to ascend the city.

This is the most important link, depending on which side is stronger, the soldier is more tenacious, and the determination is more victorious.

The mascot went forward one after another, and finally used his life to slowly level the number of people on both sides of the city.

At this point, the people of color have lost the possibility of the final comeback.

With the loss of the city gates on three sides, the Semu defenders announced their surrender.

The auspicious soldier couldn't understand the color eye language at all, so seeing the verbose color eye people go up is a sprint.

In the end, the people of the color eyes stopped talking nonsense, and directly threw away their weapons and knelt on their knees, raising their hands high, and acting as if they loved it.

Some of them even took off some of their yellowed underwear, held them in their hands and kept waving them.

By March 13, Jixiang had annihilated more than 7,000 people at the cost of losing 1,500 people.

So far, more than half of the auspicious reinforcements have suffered casualties, and the price is not heavy.

When the news reached Xingfeng City, Hu Yue people were as happy as when the country was founded.

All mascots and auspicious goods, as long as they appear in Xingfeng City, will definitely be touted by the highest treatment.

This once made the mascot who begged for a life in the city have the illusion that auspiciousness has reigned in the world.
