Chapter 334: Led Zeppelin Bombing
While Chu Yue was engaged in repeated tug-of-war for each trench in Nanxiucheng, "the dawn is quiet here" was staged on the Yinchuan defense line in the north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The five billion Northern Expeditionary Army of Chu entrenched in the big camp was like hibernating, motionless, although it was still autumn.
Such a large wave of people did not advance or retreat, did not attack or defend, but it made Liu Bufang, the generalissimo of the Song Kingdom, very annoyed.
Through close surveillance, Liu Bufang was convinced that the Chu army was indeed honestly entrenched in the camp, neither wantonly manufacturing large-scale siege equipment, nor making any moths to dig tunnels in the mountains.
Liu Bufang, who was calm and calm on the surface, secretly turned all the gray hair under the helmet white: "What the hell is the Chu army doing? Do you want to sneak attack again? Or are there other conspiracies." ”
"Staying still like this is the most demoralizing. It is necessary to send troops to test it first. So Liu Bufang asked the two generals to take 100,000 horses out of the customs to test the enemy's situation.
In the face of the shouts and insults of the 100,000 Song army, the Chu army still did not move, and it seemed that everyone was suffering from deafness and blindness.
The two generals scolded dryly, but in vain. With their little men, they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the Chu army camp. After scolding for a long time, I could only go back.
Liu Bufang was even more uneasy, and sent troops and horses to scold the battle in turn, but still did not get any response.
The war between the two armies is like a street quarrel, if both of them are angry and scolding each other, they can quarrel for most of the day.
But if only one person is shouting there, the other person should not hear it. The scolder will soon be bored and will choke on himself.
After scolding for several days, Song Jun did not test the truth of Chu Jun, but made his own hearts fluctuate.
Liu Bufang was depressed for several days, and simply transferred deserters from all over the place to form a death legion, and sent it out to directly attack the Chu army.
The improvised death legion, numbering one million, shouted desperately to kill the Chu army camp under the pressure of the warlords.
Millions of people and horses stretch for dozens of miles, and the momentum is magnificent, but in the face of the huge camp of the Chu army, it is like a small krill by the mouth of a blue-fin whale.
Before rushing to the front of the camp, tens of millions of arrows and crossbows were fired in the Chu military camp. The array of arrows so dense that even flies could not fly through it immediately dealt a devastating blow to the Death Legion. The daredevils who rushed forward were all hit by hundreds of arrows and turned into hedgehogs.
Hit by this heavy blow, the will of the Death Legion collapsed, and they turned around and ran towards Yinchuan City in a cry. The Overseer slashed thousands of people and still couldn't hold them back. Even the daredevils who were in a hurry brandished their knives and guns and fought with the overseers. There was chaos at the gates of Yinchuan City.
This is a good time to seize the pass, but the Northern Expeditionary Army of Chu State turned a blind eye and hid in the camp and couldn't say it.
The Song army killed each other and fought fiercely. In the end, the Overseer paid tens of thousands of casualties and killed all the deserters in the death squad. The remaining 700,000 were imprisoned again.
Looking at the dead and silent Chu army camp, Liu Bufang sighed deeply, waved his hand and ordered the army ambushed under the city to withdraw to the camp.
This farce was directed by him, and it was filmed on live and done with fake scenes. is hoping to seduce the Chu army, who is dead and dead. Unexpectedly, the Chu army was not fooled, and the Song army lost 400,000 people in vain.
"Okay, Bai Luo, you won. I couldn't guess your arrangement. But even on the surface, my setup is flawless. Let's just do it. ”
"Anyway, although the Vietnamese troops in the south are advancing slower than snails, they will one day climb to the edge of Nanxiu City. Once the south is breached, I'll see if your Northern Expeditionary Army withdraws or not. ”
Liu Bufang gritted his teeth and took all the soldiers and horses back to the castle fortresses of the Yinchuan defense line, but he couldn't shrink back: "Let's just consume it, see if it is your energy consumption or my energy consumption? Anyway, time is in my favor." ”
"If you want to pass through my Yinchuan defensive line, unless your whole army has wings. ”
In the second half of September 2021 of the Great Chu calendar, the Chuyue army in the south of the Qingyun Continent fought for every inch of land, and they attacked endlessly every day.
However, the army of Chu and Song in the north fell into a state of "sit-down war", with a total of nearly 20 billion people divided into two camps, staring at each other from a distance of ten miles.
Finally, at midnight on the last day of September, the sit-down war was broken by Bai Luo, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Chu. "White Fox" Bai Luo is worthy of being a famous general, and he is a big deal as soon as he makes a move.
At midnight at the end of the month, there were no stars or moons, and it was pitch black. The Yinchuan defense line is brightly lit, going down from the sky, like a giant dragon spanning thousands of miles.
This kind of dark and windy day has always been the best time for the enemy to surprise attack.
Liu Bufang is familiar with military books, so naturally he will not be careless. He specially sent two additional groups of men and horses to patrol the night, and countless talisman lamps were hung high on the city wall, illuminating the open space in front of the city. Any enemy who wants to sneak up on them will not escape the fate of being discovered.
There is a huge urn buried under the city wall, and some people are always lying on the ground to listen to the sound, preventing the Chu army from digging tunnels from the ground to enter the city.
However, the Chu army did not come from the ground or from the ground, they came from the air.
In fact, Liu Bufang had a pre-record for the air raid of the Chu army. After all, before this, flying motorcycles that can fly at low altitudes have been all the rage in the Chu country.
Thankfully, the flying bikes have a limited capacity and a limited flight altitude to break through the 50-zhang high walls. Moreover, the noise of the flying motorcycle is too loud, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of sneak attack.
It's a pity that what appeared this time was another kind of flying machine, which was tens of thousands of times larger than a flying motorcycle.
They are shaped like a black olive, but they are an astonishing 500 meters in diameter. At an altitude of thousands of meters, it flew silently over the city wall and entered the sky above Yinchuan City.
There are so many of them that they almost fill the sky over Yinchuan. That's right, this is the new weapon of air combat "invented" by Gu Wen: the Zeppelin.
The aluminium-framed, helium-filled behemoth uses a gasoline engine to propel the propellers forward with almost no noise.
So it wasn't until all the zeppelins were in place and began to slowly reduce their altitude to nearly a thousand meters above the ground that they were discovered by a Song soldier with a poetic temperament who always liked to look at the sky.
This Song soldier was very enthusiastic about the poem, and improvised a recitation: "It's so big, it's so thick, it's so black! What is it flying on top of the puppet's head? Are you a rescuer invited by a monkey? Or are you sent by heaven to sow seeds?"
Shocked by the poet's soldier's work, many people looked up, including many widows in the surrounding houses.
"Chu thieves sneak attack! Everyone pay attention! Hurry up and counterattack!" Finally, a general woke up from his shock and ran towards the city wall shouting.
On the city walls, most of the weapons were aimed at the ground. However, because there are flying demon beasts in the Qingyun Continent, they will occasionally sneak attack the city residents, and some anti-aircraft weapons are more or less arranged on the city walls everywhere, such as ballistas and the like.
The generals shouted loudly, and the soldiers hurriedly filled the ballistas with huge bolts.
However, before the Song soldiers at the head of the city attacked, the Zeppelin began to sow seeds. Hundreds of thousands of cluster grenades were dropped from the airship and scattered as they approached the ground, turning into tens of millions of grenades the size of duck eggs.
The power of a grenade is very limited, and it is difficult to kill even the elite warriors of the high-martial world. But tens of millions of grenades exploded at the same time, and the effect was incomparably amazing.
In an instant, everyone in Yinchuan City lost their sense of hearing. I only saw the firelight of the explosion all over the city, and the dense shrapnel scattered all over the city in an instant.
Even in the Chu army camp dozens of miles away, the soldiers close to the camp wall saw that Yinchuan City suddenly erupted into bright fire, and many people were so shocked by the huge explosion that their ears were bleeding.
In just a few seconds, the garrison in Yinchuan City suffered a heavy blow. The ballistas on the city walls and the heavy ballistas that could fire from the back were the primary targets and were completely destroyed in an instant.
The Song soldiers who were on duty outdoors in the city suffered heavy casualties, and all of them were seriously injured. The soldiers and residents who slept in the confined room were hit by the shock wave, and many of them were shocked to death on the spot, and the rest were also injured.
This wave of blows alone caused hundreds of millions of Song soldiers to lose their combat effectiveness.
The Zeppelin of Chu State, as the human flying fleet that appeared on the mainland for the first time, achieved amazing results as soon as it was shot.
Of course, the attacks are much more than this wave. The second and third waves followed.
Since the defenders of the Song State had lost the means of counterattack, the Zeppelin stayed in the air for about a kilometer, so that they could launch round after round of attacks.
After the first few rounds of carpet bombing, most of the defenders of Yinchuan City had been killed or wounded, and the rest were also frightened by this heavenly punishment, and could only hold their heads and shrank under the bed in the corner of the wall and shiver.
Next, the Zeppelin launched a targeted attack on important military targets in the city. It includes various command posts, granaries, armories, and war colosseums in the city.
After several months of infiltration and reconnaissance, the Chu army knew all the defenses in Yinchuan City well, and the fixed-point strikes were ruthless and accurate. Assault weapons have also been replaced with bombshells and incendiary grenades, instead of cluster grenades, which have limited individual power.
The top priority of the attack was naturally the original city lord's mansion, the current general headquarters of the Yinchuan defense line, and the place where Liu Bufang, the generalissimo of the Song State, and all the senior officials were.
