Chapter 7: Murderous
The attack of the méng ancients lasted for a week. A total of 200,000 bōs cannon fodder,
It was divided into seven sections, and on average, each part attacked about three times during the week. That is to say, these 200,000 cannon fodder were divided into batches and attacked the front of the Man Empire more than 20 times in a row. The end result, however, was dismal. Look at the outlying positions, the large, miserable, carcasses that are eaten by wild dogs and pecked by crows, and you will know what the result is.
The 200,000 bōs cannon fodder suffered one-fifth of the casualties, or about 40,000 people. That's a remarkable number. You can also perceive the speed from the side, and he deserves to be a famous general. In general, the conscription of peasants and soldiers is in danger of collapse if they lose about half of their lives. And the slave soldiers are probably similar. However, under the strategy and command of Subutai, coupled with the strict discipline of the warlords, the slaves basically collapsed when they lost about 10%, and their efficiency was doubled!
Not to mention, the general was constantly reorganizing his troops, beating the broken ones, dividing them, and then forming entirely new ones. In this way, the continuous attack is guaranteed. and creating the illusion that "I am in a new unit". Boost the morale of the slaves. That's it. Originally, if these 200,000 troops were sent to the hands of a mediocre talent, he was afraid that he would throw these 200,000 troops into it. And then cause a big meltdown. Bury the entire army. However, in the hands of Subutai, this batch of garbage, this batch of unrepeatable garbage with low combat effectiveness, was tapped by him with the most potential.
It's like a regular army!
This is the difference between a celebrity and a trash. This is the ability of the most capable of the four dogs of Méng, the great general who conquered the whole of Russia as a pioneer in the history of another world, the general of the Uliangha tribe of the Méng ancient tribe.
However, the limit has been reached.
The continuous non-stop fighting lost one-fifth of the army. However, the end result was that they were still unable to kill a single Man, and in the last few times, thousands of slave soldiers had rushed to the first line of defense, in front of the most advanced wooden fortress, less than two meters.
At that time, almost all the ancient soldiers of Méng felt that this time they would finally be able to fight a real battle.
But then, something unexpected happened. With a huge explosion, hundreds of bōsi slaves were blown into the sky, shattering their bones to pieces. At the top of the city, the laughing Mans, along with their allies, mercilessly attacked the remnants of the Bōs with bows, javelins, and throwing axes. The bōsi slave soldiers, whose morale had risen to about forty percent, suddenly collapsed.
"This is a fire yào. On the other side, General Subutai frowned and muttered to himself. In méng the ancient black fire yào weapons also existed as a superlative secret. The ancient Khan Temujin, as well as the far-sighted generals of Méng, also saw the great use of this weapon in siege cities. That's why it's very important. I really didn't expect that the other party also had such a powerful weapon.
"Just now, the other side did throw some iron cannons from the city. However, this number alone is not enough to blow up hundreds or thousands of people into the sky...... And, at the time, it seemed, those explosions seemed to be ...... from the ground Did they bury the fire in the ground?" Subutai only imagined it for a moment, and then figured it out.
"Indeed, I have heard that during the battle against the Southern Barbarians, they once invented an iron cannon buried in the ground...... Like, it's called a mine?"
It's almost this kind of thing, the primitive pedal mine is not a high-tech weapon, think about it, the old peasants who don't know a single word in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area in the Jin Dynasty can play this thing, so Emperor Egil provides a little idea, those craftsmen and inventors in the Man Empire who have learned geometric algebra very well, with a little effort, they can naturally make it. ...,
By the way, because of the fall of the Holy See, the Empire of Man has become more and more powerful today.
Therefore, scientific research institutes, which were originally underground, have now become semi-public. Egil was also planning to issue a resolution at a time. Correct the name of scientific research institutes and improve the social status of those research institutes. so that they can work harder for themselves.
"It's a terrible defensive weapon indeed. ,,Subutai said: "It is indeed very difficult to break through the opponent's defense system. It's been dragging on for days.
If there is no credit at all, it will not look good in front of the Great Khan......" After weighing the pros and cons, Su Butai made a decision: "All, warriors! Get ready, this time we will go into battle in person! Show our strength and kill all the damned cowardly Mans in the tortoise shell!" Subutai made a decision to launch an attack with the main force of 100,000 under his command~
At the very least, he had to tear apart the enemy's first line of defense and make such a feat, so that he could have the face to meet Genghis Khan!
Not far away, in the castle where the Mans and their allied forces were stationed, information had already been received from the spies, and several Mans generals who were discussing the battle, as well as the commanders of Hungary, Austria, and Moscow, all stopped talking. And they all noticed that the faces of the other commanders became more and more solemn.
"They seem to be about to launch a general attack. Evan, the general of the Eastern European border garrison, said in a deep voice.
"Well, come to think of it, it's time too. Fight with cannon fodder for a week in a row.
Although it didn't hurt us, the trenches, traps, and wooden fences in front of the defense line had basically been depleted. So the next battle will become very difficult. The general of the neo-Scandinavian garrison, Ivan, added.
"However, the supplies we have in reserve are very rabbit-footed, whether it is bows, arrows, crossbows, or fire and stone bullets, they can continue to support it. So then, we just need to play to our firepower advantage. "The general of the North Saxon garrison, Sulla, added again.
"Makes sense. Moreover, even if it is a hard-hitting rò fight. Those guys who can't walk after getting off their horses are not our opponents!" Joseph, the general of the 3rd Hussar Regiment, slapped the table, which can be regarded as a matter of decided~
Anyway, you're a cavalry commander, is it really okay to mock the cavalry like this?
In this way, the four Commander Mans finalized the whole battle with a word from you.
Every word was on point, but the commanders of the other three countries around him felt speechless. It seems that sitting here by myself has no effect other than making soy sauce.
In the end, it was the civilian general Sula who had more eyes and looked around, the Moscow veteran Semyovsky, the Hungarian king Attila, and the Austrian warrior Karl. These people, you look at me and I look at you, they are relatively speechless, and they are a little careless, so they deliberately cough loudly a few times, so that the other three colleagues who have no eyesight to stop talking, and then look at the commanders of the other three countries with slightly apologetic eyes, and ask: "So, everyone, is there anything else to add?!"
Do you know that your look of "I don't need you at all, but it's not good to leave you alone, so let's let you say a few words" is very annoying?! Are you showing off?!Definitely showing off, you...,
Both the man and the méng ancients were prepared, took out the rò to eat a full meal, and then slept beautifully. The battle began the next day, July 12.
With the sharpest and most savage steppe army, against the allied forces of the Man Empire.
On the third day of the assault, Subutai gave the order to divide the bōsi slaves into several groups. Some carried cloth bags filled with sand, others with catalpa and axes to fill trenches, traps, and break wooden fences. In addition to this, there were also some slaves assigned to bows and arrows, and slaves assigned to shields. These slaves came to the aid of the sè strikes, or used their shields to cover the slaves who were carrying sand and bulldozing the mounds.
In this way, these part-time workers seem to be much more useful than ordinary slaves used as cannon fodder. Although compared to the Man Empire, the professional and professional engineers are a scumbag. However, this is also a pioneering feat for the méng ancients. Even, after realizing the benefits of doing this, Subutai came up with the idea of training such an army as an auxiliary force during the siege......
Of course, this is not the point, the point is, as the generals of Tongman said at the military meeting, using sand, stones, and corpses, the Bōs slaves have bulldozed all the outer obstacles of the first line of defense of Moscow's Absolute Defensive Ring One.
What is presented to the Méng ancients today is a smooth road. It is a plain, a passage through which the Méng ancients and their allies and vassals can charge smoothly.
"We gathered and brought the power to destroy Xìng! on this very day!" At that time, Subutai, who was riding on horseback, held his head high, and shouted: "Lou, charge !!" It was completely different from what the Mans imagined, and this attack of the ancient vanguard of Méng began on horseback......
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Artillery fire!"
"Soldiers, ready, ready to fight the enemy, to gain glory, for the sake of the Empire! Egilska de Grímsson !!"!
