Chapter 67: The First Battle of the Southern Continent

In the early morning, Glory Town and Shenlong Island were unusually quiet, and last night's excitement was like a mirror, just a scene in a dream.

The streets are deserted, with only the figures of construction workers busy.

Maybe it's because of the small number of people, Wang Xuan always feels a little less angry, which reminds him all the time of the fact that he is just an outsider, and he feels very uncomfortable.

The navy, army, and air force have all been dispatched, and this can be regarded as a joint operation of the three armed forces in the true sense, and success or failure depends on the tacit understanding of cooperation.

Wang Xuan, who had nothing to do, began to care about the planning of Glory Town.

As small as every street, every place is greened, as large as the division of towns and districts, and the distribution of villages and towns, Wang Zhi has saved a lot of trouble, and he is busy with the construction of the second batch of factories and schools.

Tu tribe, Fu'an Town.

An elite army of heavily armed troops had just passed through the Peace Square in front of the town government, attracting crowds of onlookers.

Aftermath rode a sturdy, high-headed black horse, with a command knife at his waist and a telescope around his neck swaying with the horse's steps, and they were heading south.

On July 3, the third year of Zhongzhou, Yu Bo arrived at the border of the Tu and Mu clans, met Liu Liu, and showed Wang Xuan's military order.

Liu Liu didn't say a word, and joined Yu Bo's army with the guard company of his headquarters.

When passing through the Mu Clan, the leader Yang Weng met with the two and prepared supplies, which made the two very happy.

On July 7, the aftermath arrived at the Star Clan.

At this point, you can see that the different treatment is coming.

The leader, Yaoyang, did not meet them, nor did he prepare any supplies to reward the expeditionary force, but only arranged for men to lead the way, aiming to get them to leave the territory of the stars quickly, but fortunately they did not make it difficult.

On the 10th of July, the target stronghold at the border between the stars and the Moon Clan arrived.

This was the first target stronghold they were going to uproot.

The defenders obviously knew they were coming, the gates of the small city within a radius of a kilometer were closed, and the city was full of people with colored eyes wandering around, dark and panicked.

"There are only more than 1,000 people visually, but I don't know if there is artillery. ”

Aftermath lowered his binoculars and muttered to himself.

Liu Liu also put down the binoculars and asked, "How do I feel that there is more than this?"

Yu Bo smiled when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, you can understand by looking closely at the faces of those people. ”

When Liu Liu heard this, he raised the telescope again and looked at it carefully.

This time, I looked at it purposefully, and sure enough, I found a problem.

"Some of them are older, and although they are in military uniforms, they don't look like soldiers. ”

Yu Bo said: "Yes, these people are only full, so the number of people in the city should be the total number of defenders, they have no reserves, so there are only more than a thousand people." ”

Liu Liuliu, this is the experience, he has a lot to learn.

There were more than 1,000 defenders, nearly 2,500 of their own men, and more than 10 artillery pieces, and it was only a matter of time before they took this place.

Strangely, Yu Bo did not launch a tentative siege, but set up camp on the spot after releasing the scout cavalry, and then ordered the whole army to repair.

Although Liu Liu was puzzled, he endured no questions and honestly made up for sleep in the tent.

In the evening, the detective returned, broke one man, and brought back the body.

"How's it going?"

"Back to the regimental commander, there is a mine on the side of the back of the city near the sea, and when we went down, we found that it was a gem mine, and after fighting with the defenders, we broke the name of the brother. ”

Yu Bo took the oil lamp, illuminated the map on the table, and found the location of the mine, and marked it.

"What a place. After looking at the aftermath of the meeting, he said, "In front is the intersection of the east, west, north and south arteries, and on the side is the gem mine facing the sea, and a small city can control everything here." ”

After listening to it, Liu Liu also found that this place is good, the geographical location is excellent, and it is a strategic point.

The key is that it is close to the sea, and the entire city is within the range of naval guns, so if it occupies this place, it will be easy to defend or evacuate.

There was no war tonight, and Liu Liu had to force himself to sleep.

On the 11th, it rained lightly, and it was sticky and uncomfortable on people, so except for the sentry on duty, everyone slept lazily. The rapid march of ten consecutive days could not be slowed down for a day.

On the twelfth, the rain stopped, and the people in the city lost the worries of the day before yesterday, and actually talked and laughed, which was also a strange scene.

Except for the first day of sending scouts to explore around, the aftermath died down, in addition to sleeping or sleeping, Liu Liu couldn't help but ask him when to attack the city.

The aftermath is only said that the time has not come, so don't be impatient.

On the thirteenth and fourteenth, it was sunny again, which made the calm aftermath frown, and the military rations were running out.

On the 15th, the weather changed abruptly, and a golden halo was exposed in the east in the early morning, but in the blink of an eye, the clouds were overcast, and the raindrops the size of beans fell like stones, and the people who smashed them hurt.

Heaven and earth are no longer separated, and the enemy city thousands of kilometers away has disappeared as if it has disappeared without a trace, and only the curtain of water lies between this side of heaven and earth.

The heavy rain did not stop until noon, so Yu Bo ordered: "The whole army is ready for battle." ”

As soon as he heard that there was finally a battle, Liu Liu came to his senses and followed Yu Bo inseparably, he wanted to know how to deal with the people of color in this kind of weather where artillery could not be used.

Soon, after the preparations were completed, Yu Bo announced the battle plan that had been discussed with the staff officers.

The first battalion was responsible for attacking the gem mines, where there were not many defenders, only more than a hundred people, and it was not a problem to take them.

The 2nd and 3rd Battalions were responsible for lurking in the woods between the mine and the city, ambushing the enemy forces.

The 4th and 5th battalions lurked outside the north gate of the city and attacked the city according to the signal.

However, the fourth and fifth battalions remained in the barracks for the time being, creating the illusion that the mascot was still there, and the rest of the battalions set out from the north gate of the camp to avoid the sight of the people with colored eyes while the rain was curtaining.

The plan is simple and bold, but in Liu Liu's opinion, it is simply child's play, and the enemy is not a marionette, how can he follow his own wishes?

Come to think of it, Yu Bo is the coach, he only has the right to suggest, not the right to command, so he can only wait and see.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the rain was getting lighter, and the first battalion had arrived at the mining area.

After a little reconnaissance, the battalion commander Quan Ziming ordered a strong attack.

There is nothing to say about the process, more than 100 people are the opponents of more than 500 mascots, and after a wave of grenades, it is a matter of mending the knife, and they are not given the opportunity to fight, so they take over the entire mining area.

After Yu Bo received the news that the first battalion had succeeded, he waited patiently for the people of Semu to leave the city.

In the mining area, the water is already very deep, and the miners are hiding in the mine cave on the side to avoid the rain, and they do not resist after seeing the mascot come to attack, and they are very honest.

Quan Ziming looked at the well-like mine below, and asked the miners how to deal with it as usual.

Miners Road, if it rains heavily, the defenders in the city come to clean up the stagnant water, and then they start work again.

Sure enough, Quan Zi said 'yes' openly and secretly, and he understood the basis of the regiment commander's battle plan.

Then he gave the order to rest everyone for a quarter of an hour, and then set up fortifications on the spot to prepare for battle.

Yu Bo waited left and right, and finally waited for the news he wanted, and the people of color eyes went out of the city.

The spies said that hundreds of old and weak people were heading to the mining area with wooden barrels on their shoulders.

Since there were only a few hundred old and weak, Yu Bo revised the plan, so that the second battalion and the third battalion stopped the ambush, the second battalion moved west to ambush outside the west gate of the enemy city, and the third battalion followed behind the enemy, and united with the first battalion to flank the front and rear and annihilate them all.

Less than three hundred old and weak, they still walked the familiar road as usual, humming an unknown minor tune, and swaying westward. Since the information said that there was no movement in the camp of the mascot, they thought that they were still sleeping in their tents as they had done a few days before, so they felt safe and did not take any precautions.

The battle ended as soon as it began, and thanks to the fortifications of the first battalion and the cover of grenades, the Lusters could not rush in at all.

The three battalions behind him are also a routine, and the world is quiet after a row of grenades.

More than 400 people with colored eyes lost their lives so easily, and the miners were stunned, and they were still wondering in their hearts, when did the people with colored eyes become so weak, and then they had a deep fear of the mascot, not that the people were weak, but that the mascot was too strong, and the more than 400 corpses were really piled up there.

It was getting dark, and the team that cleared the stagnant water did not return to the city on time, and the defenders were in a hurry.

But the mascot's tent is still there, and there are soldiers to clean up the stagnant water after the rain stops, and everything is normal, which makes the Semu people feel a lot more relieved.

Immediately, another wave of people were sent out of the city to bring back the old and weak before, and they had to rely on them to defend the city.

This time there were only a few dozen people, and the aftermath let them go again.

Soon after, the third battalion returned with more than 300 uniforms of the Semu people, as well as the dozens of prisoners who had just been released.

"Change of clothes. ”

So the second battalion and the third battalion began to pick people, looking for people to pick tall horses, and after changing into the military uniforms of the colored people, they cleaned up again, and it was really difficult to distinguish if they didn't get close.

At this time, Liu Liu had already seen that the door was coming, and he was immediately ashamed, and hid aside without making a sound.

"Inform the 4th and 5th battalions to prepare to attack the north gate. ”

"Set off in half an hour. ”

After several orders in a row, the scene was extremely silent except for the sound of changing clothes.

Liu Liu knew that the reason why half an hour was set was the time to travel back and forth between the two places.

After the rain, the road is slippery, the terrain on the side of the mine is low-lying, and there are many stones around, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, so half an hour should be just right.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the dark clouds seemed to be coming again, and he couldn't see his five fingers, which made Yu Bo a little worried.

At this time, Liu Liu said: "Or is it wrapped in a white cloth?"

Yu Bo said: "Well, the white cloth is wrapped around the wrist of the knife. ”

This has the advantage of being able to create a strong visual effect when a soldier swings his sword, which can prevent friendly soldiers from being injured by mistake and confuse the enemy, which is indeed more conspicuous than strapping it on his arm.

After some preparations, the time was up, and Yu Bo ordered to set off.

Only more than 300 soldiers were selected to set off, and they wore the uniforms of the color-eyed people, learned the way of the color-eyed people, and swayed eastward.

The defenders were condescending, but they couldn't see the faces of the people below, and because everyone was wearing hats and couldn't see the color of their hair, they only heard someone shouting to open the door in their own language.

These people must not be able to hang themselves one by one with baskets, so they have to open the west gate.

After everyone entered the gate, fireworks were set off in the aftermath, and the fourth and fifth battalions began to attack the city.

For a time, the people of color were in chaos, and no one cared about the mascot who had just entered the west city, so he killed the defenders near the city gate and welcomed the friendly army into the city.

When the Semu people found out that the mascot had entered the city from the west gate, they knew that the general situation had gone, and after more than 100 people were killed and wounded, the rest chose to put down their swords and kneel to beg to surrender.

In this way, the seemingly sturdy town easily fell into the hands of Yu Bo, and the mascot was very damaged, less than fifty, and only thirteen people were sacrificed.

After the sky brightened, Liu Liu watched more than 500 captives being driven to the school grounds, and admired the aftermath more and more.

It doesn't matter what the town used to be called, but now it's called Red City, which means a good start.

Red City is a typical military city, if it weren't for some natives doing some logistics and other chores here, the aftermath would really be a fortress.

Dozens of women who had been taken captive for fun, but they didn't want to leave, and some of them were still looking for death and life.

It is understood that these women either have no one at home, or they have no face to see people, and in the end, Yu Bo left them all behind, formed a literary troupe, mending clothes and cooking for the soldiers in their spare time, and used them as half a laborer when they were busy, in short, they were not allowed to idle and think nonsense.

The captives were killed in batches by the aftermath.

Although Liu Liu couldn't bear it, he also acquiesced.

The reason given by the aftermath is very strong, no one is watching them, there is no food to feed them, so they have no value in living.

In wartime, human life is as cheap as mustard, so there is a saying that it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world.

Liu Liu looked at the new graves that the captives in the south had just dug for him, looked at the still hot corpses, and turned to leave.
