Section 73 General Battle 4
readx;
Even the sun didn't seem to want to see this tragic scene, and quietly slipped behind the clouds, the afterglow of the sunset Jiang Yun's edge was reflected in golden light, but the sky gradually dimmed, which also indicated that the first day's attack and defense came to an end, of course, unless the commander of the attacking side intended to pick up the night battle, but in this case, the night battle is also a difficult to achieve a better effect, and the commander of the Maqihan people did not want to do this.

As the sound of the horn turned into a long whine with a bit of mournful taste, the first to retreat was the infantry fighting in the front line, when the infantry retreated to a certain position, all kinds of small engineering equipment began to retreat, and those large siege equipment also slowly retreated under the impetus of animal power or manpower, the cavalry on both wings was on high alert at this time, preventing the enemy in the fortress from rushing out to take the opportunity to cover up, but it seemed that the Sanjiang army in the fortress also suffered a lot of losses, and everything ended in a very peaceful form.
The mottled blood stains on the walls and the still smoking towers were a sign that the war was not over, and that it was just a short break for the next day's more brutal fighting. The logisticians on both sides who collected the corpses raised the flags of the red cross on a white and white background in accordance with the usual practice, and after a day's rest, the logisticians began to be busy up and down the city wall, whether it was a bloody body or a mutilated corpse, the logistic soldiers always had to sort them away like corpse bags, and then try to take out the soldier cards hanging on their bodies and put them on the body bags as a basis for explaining to the dead soldiers. This practice was not popular in the Eastern Continent at first, but with the frequent wars between the Tang Empire and the Three Northern Kingdoms, and the Milanese who had accepted the customs of the Western Continent also began to adopt this measure of surname-inflection in the war with the Maqi Khans, this method soon became an unwritten rule in the Eastern Continent.
Pu Tiancheng was not very satisfied with the first day of fighting, especially when he saw the corpses piled up in the small half of the camp, this scene made him even more unhappy. It is not that he is dissatisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Corps, but that he has questioned the information fed back by the domestic intelligence department, and the intelligence reflects that the defense facilities of Loushan Pass are not complete, and can even be said to be relatively simple; although in the past year the Sanjiang side has strengthened the defense facilities of Loushan Pass, after all, the buildings of Loushan Pass have been fixed, and only some small and medium-sized expansions can be done to improve it, but judging from the performance of today's opponents, it is somewhat inconsistent with the information obtained.
First of all, the enemy's catapult position, although he destroyed the enemy's catapult position with the help of powerful long-range weapons, but surprisingly the enemy rearranged the mobile catapult in a very short period of time, although it was not as good as the first batch in terms of quantity and power, but this change made the unexpectedly own side suffer, especially the mobile arrow towers and siege vehicles that thought that the enemy had lost heavy strike weapons, because of the slow speed, they became the key targets of the opponent's catapults, only the mobile arrow towers lost 28 vehicles in one day today, and the loss of archers was as high as more than 600 people, which made Pu Tiancheng quite distressed, and the siege vehicles were even more miserableTen of them were destroyed by catapults before they could advance under the city walls, and the rockets that followed immediately turned the siege vehicles into furnaces, making it as difficult for soldiers trying to pass through the siege engines as it was for ten lions to cross the circle of fire.
The enemy built a large number of hiding rooms along the back of the city wall that were connected with the city wall in all directions, and also made their side suffer a dark loss, every time they saw that they had climbed the city wall to occupy the advantage, the enemy soldiers who did not know where to come from could always enter the battlefield at the most critical moment, regain the decline and gain the upper hand, and kill the soldiers of their own side who had finally climbed the city wall, and when their own long-range weapons began to strike, they shrank back into the hiding room to hide, such a repeated frustration of their own side's attack was repeatedly frustrated, and also made the two Yulin Corps suffer heavy losses。
And the determination shown by the enemy is the most headache for Pu Tiancheng. He didn't want to fight with his opponent until the last moment through this means, although he believed that he could finally stand on the head of Loushan Pass with the existing strength in his hands, but he really didn't want to use this kind of too bloody and somewhat square means, killing three thousand people and injuring eight hundred, this is the ancient saying of the Tanghe people, and it is also a classic explanation of frontal war, Pu Tiancheng does not want to see this scene, but the possibility of this situation is gradually increasing, especially after seeing the performance of the Sanjiang army today, Pu Tiancheng thinks so, this is not a good sign。
But he was helpless, even if it was difficult and the losses were great, he had to fight this battle. If you don't pull out the nail of Loushanguan, your side will never be able to go west with all your might, which is like a bone spur inserted in your throat, which makes people unable to eat and sleep.
After arranging the men and horses on duty in the big tent, Pu Tiancheng thought about the map for a long time before he felt a little tired, turned to the inner tent and fell asleep, but before he fell asleep, he heard the sudden sound of killing in the southwest direction, and drove out of the tent in a few steps, but saw the fire in the southwest, and half of the sky was red, and the shouting and killing sound was getting louder and louder, and occasionally a faint sound of impact and neighing of horses could be heard.
Standing outside the tent with his hands in his hands, his face sank like water, but his heart was uncertain, and while ordering the soldiers to quickly inquire about the situation, he was guessing what had happened. He has specially arranged for all kinds of men and horses to be on duty at night to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp at night, could it be that a small group of enemies are harassing at night and deliberately trying to affect the sleep and rest of their own soldiers? It seems that it is not very like, from the sound of the collision of blades, it proves that the two sides have exchanged fronts, but from the position it seems that they are in the camp, and the enemy does not know that the soldiers on duty in the big camp do not know? This is also too exaggerated.
It wasn't until an hour later that the news from the southwest made Pu Tiancheng understand the real situation, the enemy really came to rob the camp, and successfully burned all the baggage grain and grass and some siege equipment of the Fifth Corps, and the Fifth Corps even suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Pu Tiancheng, whose face turned pale, stared at the officer who came to report the situation, his teeth were gritted, he didn't expect that he had repeatedly ordered all corps to pay attention to strengthening night duty, but he didn't expect to be robbed by the other party, and he was directly touched into the depths of the camp, if it wasn't found in time, I was afraid that even the entire Fifth Corps corps headquarters would be killed by the other party, even so, the blow to the morale of the Fifth Corps and other departments was difficult to estimate.
"What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to step up your night duty? How did the enemy get in? What did Goodmar (the commander of the Fifth Corps) eat? Why didn't you come and report to me personally?" The gloomy voice made the deputy corps commander who came to report the situation couldn't help but shudder, this Dingguo general is a well-known thorny general who does not eat soft and hard, and any of his subordinates who committed crimes in his hands, if he could not give him a satisfactory explanation, it would be difficult for him to pass the military law pass.
"Back to the commander, there is a reason for the incident, but it is also to blame us for some careless mistakes, the corps commander is now personally commanding the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army that is sneaking in, and it is estimated that it will end soon. The deputy corps commander did not dare to slack off, and took the initiative to take some responsibility, he knew that this coach hated the person who shirked responsibility the most.
"There is a reason for something, how can there be a reason? Let's hear it. Hearing what the other party said, Pu Tiancheng's face was a little better, but the tone of his words was still cold.
"Our corps is stationed in the southeast corner of the neighborhood outside Loushan Pass, where there is a large mass grave, when camping, we have thoroughly searched this place, but because the soldiers are a little taboo cemetery, so the camping place is around the mass grave, some distance from the mass grave, I didn't expect it to be a trap that the Sanjiang people have already designed, those mass graves have tunnels connected to the underground, directly in the Loushan Pass fortress, the enemy took advantage of the night to sneak out of the mass grave, assassinated our guard on duty, and took advantage of the situation to attack in our camp fire, because it was a sudden attack from the center, and it was dark night, so the departments did not know that the enemy came from that direction, There was some confusion in the early stage, but then the corps commander personally went out and finally stabilized his position, and the number of enemies was not much, and the situation was basically under control when I came to report to the commander. "The deputy corps commander has obviously thought about the wording on the road, and he is methodical in speaking.
In fact, as soon as the other party said the word mass grave, Putian Cheng knew what the problem was, but he didn't expect the opponent to have this hand, obviously premeditated, and actually repaired the tunnel directly outside the city, maybe the original purpose was to facilitate the sneak attack out of the city at night, but I didn't expect that this time it went directly into his own camp, and it was really unlucky for the Fifth Corps.
After being silent for a long time, the dark eyes seemed to be searching for something under the butter lamp, and Pu Tiancheng squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Go back and search me well, don't let the enemy touch in again, if this kind of thing happens again, let Goodmar wash his neck and wait for the military law team to cut off his head!"
The deputy corps commander nodded again and again as if he had been amnesty, saluted and left, and only Pu Tiancheng and his chief of staff were left in the big tent. Sitting back in the handsome chair, Pu Tiancheng had been tossed so much that he didn't feel sleepy at this time, looking at the dark night sky outside the tent door, he felt that maybe his previous prediction was a little too optimistic, the Lin family has been entrenched in this land for decades, although the glorious period has passed, but its latent forces and the will of the army after a long period of battle are still not to be underestimated, the first day to let himself be so embarrassed, and in the case of his absolute advantage, it seems that there are still many variables in this battle, but this is good, he has not met a decent opponent for a long time, an invincible army was originally created in a collision with a powerful adversary.
