War is fought against population, resources, tactics, and also people's hearts.

It is undeniable that there are some people in history and in any country in the world who are willing to die fearlessly for the sake of the country and become heroes who will be remembered for eternity.

However, throughout ancient and modern times, there is no country whose culture can reach the same level as Chinese culture.

Since ancient times, China has had the idea of a family, a country, and a world.

Under this kind of thinking, from ancient times to the present, whether the Chinese people are fighting national wars or foreign wars, a large number of heroes who do not hesitate to break their bones for the country will emerge.

The twentieth century is a magnificent song of flesh and blood!

Why?

Culture.

This is the heritage of an ancient civilization that has been inherited for 5,000 years, and is the inevitable product of the culture of the family and the country, which is destined to make the people heroes and the foundation of the country.

Is there such a culture in Indochina?

No!

The regime in Indochina has been in turmoil, and many times they have taken Chinese culture as an example, but they have only learned a little from scratch, and there may be people who will die for the sake of the country.

But not much.

After the battle of the first battle of the Xiama Pass, the middle army of the Ming Dynasty led by Mu Cong repaired overnight, and arrived at the pass city on the afternoon of the second day, so fast that even Mu Cong and Mu Zan did not expect.

The side illustrates a situation: after nearly two years of confrontation, the Daming Xiongshi has been suffocated very much.

Hungry for a fight!

This is the same as last year's Guangxi Metropolitan Division's attack on the city.

Because he was defeated by Jiaozhi, all the staff held their breath in their hearts, and finally seized the opportunity, so why not scream and rush up to vent the grievances in their hearts?

Soldiers are coming to the city.

The Nanzhang army of Guankou City has the solidity of the city, and it is waiting for work at leisure, sitting on the right time and place, and the commander Suvana Bunlang is not a mediocre person, so the Nanzhang army is full of confidence in the next war.

After all, the specific situation of the fiasco at Xiamaguan was blocked by Suvana Banlang, and ordinary soldiers did not know at all.

Of course, knowing it, that's it.

The ignorant are fearless.

After all, it's not like they haven't faced Daming's firearms.

What's more, how can ordinary soldiers see the decisive influence of the tank battalion on the war.

Two armies face each other across a pass city.

The Ming Xiongshi rushed to the road and needed to be repaired overnight, and the Nanzhang army wanted to consolidate the city, and some people proposed to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming army and take the initiative to go out of the city to catch him off guard.

It's a pity that the elephant army was defeated for some reason at Xiama Pass.

Otherwise, the wide area in front of the pass city was let the elephant army attack, but I was afraid that there would be a lot of fighters, but the defenders on the city wall still sent an army of 3,000 people to attack it tentatively.

Was beaten back.

Mu Cong and Mu Zan had already thought of this, and when the army arrived at Guankou City, they had planned to attack the city tomorrow, so when they were stationed in the camp, they had already arranged a defensive formation.

In the middle of the night, the logistics unit arrived.

20,000 people.

Upon arrival, there were 17,000 men left, and on the way there, they encountered a sneak attack arranged by Banlang from Suvana, in a vain attempt to cut off the logistical supply line.

The two sides fought.

Because it was attacked at night, the battle was heavily damaged, but the supplies needed by the tank battalion were still safely transported.

As for the logistics line?

Not at all!

Just the supplies escorted by 20,000 people were fully prepared for the battle of the tank battalion in the city of Pass, and the materials after that were the matter of the steam transporters.

Moreover, Mu Cong and Mu Zhan's ideas are also simple, and they quickly collapsed Guankou City.

In this way, there is no need to worry about logistical supplies.

Therefore, the side of the gateway city must be resolved quickly.

Sun Wu's "The Art of War: Attacking Chapters" in the Spring and Autumn Period: Ten are to encircle it, five are to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to fight, and if it is less, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided.

The troops under Mu Cong's command are not as good as the troops in the south of the city.

Therefore, it is impossible to surround and kill the army of Nanzhang.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Cong transferred troops and strong generals, and put all the superior forces at the north gate of Guankou City, while at the east gate and west gate, only 20,000 troops were symbolically arranged to contain the south palm to reinforce the north gate city wall.

South Gate?

In spite of!

This is also the cleverness of Mu Cong and Mu Zhan.

You have to leave a way for the Nanzhang army to live, otherwise others will only have to defend the pass city, if their fighting spirit does not collapse, with the strength of the middle lane army, there is no way to swallow up these more than 100,000 people.

After a night of brewing, Guankou City was also ready to defend the city.

Both sides are full of fighting spirit and confidence.

The Ming soldiers felt that although their own troops were inferior, they had a tank battalion to cover them, and the battle record was there, and they won the Xiama Pass that Nanzhang had been operating for half a year in less than half a day.

And the Nanzhang soldiers also felt that the advantage was on their side.

And then......

They saw that in the formation of the Ming Dynasty, under the thick smoke, thirty monsters slowly drove from the center of the formation of the army to the front of the formation, and slowly pressed towards the south gate.

Is it the chariot of the Ming Dynasty?

It's funny.

Can chariots also be used for sieges?

It's not a siege vehicle!

As an important border town that intersects with Yunnan, the fortresses are not good, and the city wall is only about three zhang, and it is not a huge stone pile, but a mud ram.

It is similar to the Jinan city wall during the southward period of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

But it can also defend against conventional artillery.

Because there were few wars between Nanzhang and the Central Plains Dynasty.

At this moment, seeing that the Ming army wanted to attack the city with chariots, the soldiers on the southern city wall were called a gloating, and felt that the commander of the Ming army was a fool.

Just your chariots, catapults, and artillery will all be reduced to slag in one round.

But the guards on the city wall were nervous, because he knew very well that this was the kind of steel chariot that Ba Song had said after returning from defeat.

An indestructible and indestructible monster of steel!

The defenders immediately ordered the catapults and artillery on the walls to be ready - last night in Suvana Bunlang urgently summoned a large number of defenders and worked out a series of preparations.

One of the main measures was to have the soldiers prepare jars and fill them with black oil to replace some of the solid stone bullets of the catapults.

Fire Attack!

At the same time, a large amount of dung was burned, and as long as the Ming chariot came to the city, it was drenched.

It's black oil again, and it's boiling dung again......

As long as the steel monster of Daming is destroyed, the pass city can be defended.

The catapult has an effective range of two hundred paces.

After moving to the city walls, the effective firing range was two hundred and fifty paces.

However......

Just when the guard general and several colleagues were full of anticipation, the Daming chariot, which had been moving slowly, stopped at a distance of five hundred steps from the city wall.

The barrels were already aimed at the city walls.

At the same time, a thousand musketeers quickly stepped forward, forming a three-stage formation between the tanks.

Under the command of Mu Zhan, the cavalry of the middle army quickly stepped forward and distributed on the left and right flanks of the tank formation, and then the foot soldiers stepped forward and distributed behind the tank battalion.

Five hundred steps!

Just on the edge of the range of the Nanzhang artillery.
