Chapter 126: Simple and Crude
Chapter 126 is simple and crude
Liu Hou was furious and was about to order revenge against the Wei army, when he suddenly heard the long voice of the herald coming: "Report ......"
Liu Hou's heart froze, and he had a faint premonition, and now he was more and more afraid of hearing the voice of the herald, because the herald had not brought him good news recently.
But if you don't want to see it, you can see it, the ugly woman must see the family man eventually, even if there is bad news, she still needs to know it immediately, so as to make arrangements as soon as possible and deal with changes, so he immediately publicized the order to meet the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the two armies of the Wei army in the east are moving south at full speed and coming straight to our army, which is now about forty miles away from our army."
"Hiss~" Liu Hou gasped, it seems that the Wei army has discovered the trick of the Shu army's golden cicada shelling, and they have begun to pursue themselves. The calculation time is almost the same, the sheep arranged in the barracks by themselves are estimated to be tired and paralyzed, and the cavalry responsible for creating dust has also withdrawn, how can there be no movement in the barracks for so long.
Especially an old fox like Sima Yi, as soon as he realizes that something is wrong, he will definitely send troops to test the quiet Shu army barracks, once he finds that the Shu army has retreated, he will definitely quickly think of the cause and effect of the matter, and then he will definitely order the troops to pursue at full speed. Since 100,000 troops from the east are chasing, will the troops from the west not come?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another herald to rush over and report the news that the two troops from the west were chasing after him. The 200,000 army, pressed over with the momentum of thunder, and there was a small pocket in front of it to block the way, which was the classic pattern of chasing soldiers after the front blockage, and it was also a moment of life and death.
Without further ado, now it is necessary to break through the encirclement of the Wei army as quickly as possible, and the easiest to break through is only the front, there are only 50,000 Wei troops here, which is the relatively weak place of this encirclement, Liu Hou immediately made a decision and ordered the attack to begin.
Due to the urgency of time, Liu Hou didn't think about any conspiracies and tricks, and planned to directly push the past in the simplest and most brutal way.
Liu Hou first sent the Second Artillery Corps out of the horse to carry out a carpet bombardment of the enemy's positions, and the bombardment of Biquge www.biquge.info started from the rejection of horses and deer barricades in front of the low wall, and after blowing up these obstacles, the artillery fire extended forward, crossed the low wall, and carried out saturation bombardment of the Wei army behind the low wall.
The 1st Brigade led by Zhang Bao continued to suppress the Wei army in ambush on the hill on the right, preventing their bows and arrows from affecting the attack of other troops on the Wei defensive positions ahead. The reorganized 1st Brigade is equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and fire# guns for the enemy, and is specially equipped with rattan armor soldiers with tower shields.
These rattan armorers were now playing their full role, holding tower shields above their heads, covering themselves and the fire# spearmen behind him, completely rendering the rain of arrows coming down from the mountains completely useless. And the fire # spearmen behind them can calmly load, aim, and shoot under the protection of the tower shield.
In addition, there were three hot air balloons on the mountain chasing the outcropping Wei army bombing, so that they did not dare to let go and shoot at the Shu army, let alone concentrate their firepower on the volley of the Shu army under the mountain.
The suppression of the Wei army on the hill can make the Second Artillery unit as close to the low wall of the Wei army as possible, and the distance is shorter, which can make the rocket artillery strike more accurate.
In order to stop the aerial bombardment of the Shu army's hot air balloons, the Wei army lit a lot of wet firewood on their own positions, creating a large thick smoke, which obscured both the view of the hot air balloon pilots and the Wei army.
Liu Hou made the vine armor soldiers of the second division of the vulture bones ready, and when the second artillery unit bombarded the Wei army's position, they sneaked to the front of the Wei army's position.
Then fill the trench with sandbags, there are many people and strength, the second division of the vulture bone has more than 10,000 people, one person can pile up a hill with a sandbag, these small trenches are not a problem at all, and finally only use more than 3,000 sandbags to fill these trenches, so that the front of the low wall becomes a flat avenue, and the road condition is better than the dirt road before the Wei army dug up.
And in this process, the Wei army behind the low wall has been suppressed by the Dongfeng No. 1 rocket artillery, the situation is urgent, Liu Hou can't care so much, he ordered the second artillery unit to shoot all the rockets out, so the front line position of the Wei army was bombarded indiscriminately by rocket artillery without money, and even the soil on the ground was turned over several times.
Most of the Wei troops on the front line had been blown to shreds, and the few who were lucky enough to survive could not raise their heads at all, so they could only lie on the ground, allowing countless mud and sand to fall from the sky, burying most of their bodies.
After the trench was filled, a group of soldiers wearing the green uniforms of the Hong Army ran to the low wall of the Wei army at a speed of 100 meters with explosive # pill packs.
They reached the low wall, took out the sapper shovel, quickly dug a pit under the base of the wall, and then stuffed the explosive# powder bag in their hands into the pit, and finally hunched their waists, while putting the lead, trotted back, the whole process was clean and neat, without a little mud and water.
These are well-trained explosives#blasters, and they are very fast, and the whole process of placing explosives# packs takes about five minutes, and the main time is spent digging pits.
This pit can actually not be dug, if it is blocked by the Wei army, they will run back after putting down the explosive # medicine pack, without digging the pit, of course, the effect of digging the pit and blasting # will be better. Because the Wei army was suppressed by artillery fire and covered by thick smoke, it was impossible to block the explosive# demolition group that was close at hand, so that they could calmly dig a pit and bury explosives# ammunition.
After running far enough, the blast # team took out the fire fold, lit the fuse, and continued to turn around and run. Not long after, bursts of explosions came, and the low wall in front of the Wei army was overturned.
Directional blasting # demolition is a technical job, the soldiers of the blasting # demolition group are not ordinary soldiers, they are all proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry, they have made calculations before blasting # bursting, how much is the amount of each explosive# pack, how far is the difference between each pit where the explosive # is buried, and even how deep and big the pit is dug is are carefully designed.
This low wall was only dug up by the Wei army in a hurry to dig up the mud and stone on the spot, the height is only one person high, and the thickness is only two feet. The blast # breaking group can even control which section of this wall falls first, which section falls backward, and whether it falls forward or backward.
As soon as the low wall was blown over, 5,000 rattan armor soldiers who were ready to go, with wet towels tied to their mouths and noses, rushed up, crossed the bombed low wall, rushed into the Wei army's position, and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, or massacre.
In fact, there are not many Wei troops left on the front line, and the rest are also half-buried in the ground, in the smoke with poor vision, it is not difficult for the vine armor soldiers to find these remnants of the Wei army, as long as they hear the sound of choking, they will use their hands to fish down, and designate to be able to scoop up a Wei army covered in mud and falling down.
After scooping them up, these Wei soldiers are usually either stunned or stunned by the huge explosion and shock wave, anyway, there is usually no resistance to action, the vine armor soldiers only need to put the knife in their hands to their necks, and then drag it, and a bloody arrow will shoot out and it will be over.
In the end, they threw away the Wei soldiers in their hands and continued to look for the next target. Such a one-sided slaughter, the army advanced quickly, and the forward quickly rushed out of the smoke area, behind the smoke, there was a large group of Wei troops waiting for the battle, but these were cold weapon troops, because the fire # weapons were concentrated on the front line to block the Shu army.
The cold weapon unit is completely stress-free for the rattan armor soldiers. However, in order to form a super combat effectiveness, it is not enough to rely on the invulnerable rattan armor on the body, but also need their strict formation and uniform chopping action.
Therefore, after the forward rushed out of the smoke area, it stopped its advance, confronting the Wei army on the opposite side while waiting for the follow-up troops to follow. They need to form a tight formation before continuing to charge.
At this time, the Wei army in ambush on the other side of the river on the left, seeing that the Shu army on this side had broken through the defense line of the Wei army, knew that the battle situation on this side was at stake, so they carried out the hidden boats, bamboo rafts, and wooden rafts, and prepared to cross the river to support the Wei army here.
Guan Xing's troops had been waiting for them there for a long time, and when they crossed the river to the center of the river, they began to shoot with fire # guns, which was the classic half-crossing tactic.
The Wei army that crossed the river also fought back with bows and arrows, but unfortunately, every fire# spearman of the Shu army had a tower shield in front of him, helping them block most of the bows and arrows.
Fire # Spearmen are just like the usual target practice, they can calmly aim and shoot again, although it is impossible to do one shot, but their hit rate can also achieve the same results as the usual practice, this is a battle without wasting ammunition.
The poor Wei army was shot and fell into the river one after another, suffering the loss of Yan zhòng, most of the northerners did not know water, most of Cao Wei's troops came from the north, most of them did not know water, and those who fell into the river were basically drowned even if they were only shot and wounded. As a result, the Wei army had a much greater mortality rate in this battle than on land.
After these people rushed for a round, they found that not only could not rush away, but also suffered heavy losses, so they gave up crossing the river on this side, and instead ran to the south, crossed the section with the Shu army, and crossed the river at the section of the river that was still under the control of the Wei army. However, even if they crossed over and came to support the remnants of the Wei army, they would only be slaughtered.
On the front line over there, quite a few vine armor soldiers had already rushed out of the smoke area, and they formed a dense formation and began to charge the remnants of the Wei army. I have to say that these Wei troops are also well-trained elites, and under the command of their generals, they also formed a dense formation and held spears to countercharge the vine armor soldiers.
The terrain here is narrow, and many formations cannot be deployed here, the most practical formation is to line up in a dense formation, one row after another, row after row, row after row down, after the front row is consumed, the back row makes up for it and continues to fight. The two sides are fighting to see whose formation is thick enough, and whose formation is consumed first.
From the air, the two formations are like two onions, after they collide together, they are cut off layer after layer, and whichever onion is cut off the last layer is considered a loss.
Of course, the rattan armor army is not an ordinary onion, it is an iron onion, and it is not so easy to cut off each layer of it, often the Wei army is cut off ten layers and eight layers, and the vine armor soldiers will lose half to one layer.
