Chapter 352: Positional Warfare
Although the combat effectiveness of the Zidi Army has been touted by all parties, they are not very convinced. Even in the heart full of disdain.
No one can say that they are inferior to others if they have not fought a war. The best thing is to be able to fight, practice is the last word.
Perhaps, the children's army will be very vulnerable to fighting with their Yingzhou army. Thinking of this, the lord couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
"Let's go...... Let the whole army advance quickly, the gourd mouth in front is the most suitable for ambush, we will deploy troops there, and wait until three days later, if the army does not come, we will go to support the first city! ”
The main general hurriedly issued an order to his subordinates. The 7,000 troops of the Fourth City immediately advanced to the front. Because they were in the middle, they had the most abundant troops, and the other cities had five thousand troops, and the fourth city had nine thousand troops.
In this rush, the main general personally brought 7,000 troops to help, and only 2,000 troops were left in the fourth city to defend the city.
Originally, the lord didn't want to keep so many troops, and in his mind, only a few hundred troops were left in the city.
It is best for the whole army to come and encircle and annihilate the subordinate army, he has 9,000 troops, and in the encirclement and annihilation battle, he will definitely be able to make greater achievements.
He was eager to make contributions, and only then did he bring out nearly eighty percent of the troops in his city. The same idea of the Lord of the Lord is the same in almost every city.
The other cities only had 5,000 troops, and even most of them brought out more than 4,000, and even a few cities directly left only 100 people to defend the city.
After all, these commanders felt that it was impossible for their army to attack the city where they were located. The most likely thing is to be wiped out by them at the location of the first city.
Therefore, everyone wants to contribute to the location of the first city. Of course, it almost poured out of the nest.
At least the Fourth City would be in the terrain they wanted to enter, and this would be the place where they would ambush.
But they didn't know that the Beiqiong side of the Zidi army had already laid an ambush here. When all the 7,000 Yingzhou troops entered the canyon land.
The mortars of the subordinate army were poured down directly. After the first round of shelling, the Yingzhou army was directly killed by hundreds of people.
The dense formation multiplied the power of the shells several times, and in the blink of an eye, the Yingzhou army was in chaos. The Lord will be on his horse, and his head is still buzzing.
"General, no, we're in an ambush, ...... Let's retreat......" The lieutenant general looked at the main general, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
The power of the mortar, directly under the first round of shelling, frightened them out, when had they seen such a powerful fire and thunder.
Even they have equipment like Fire Thunder, but the power of their Fire Thunder explosion is far from the power of the Fire Thunder they are attacked.
Just now, his face was full of pride, thinking about how to wipe out the subordinate army, and the main general who had obtained the battle merits was suddenly full of horror.
"What to withdraw...... The enemy is up there, and as long as we take it, we'll be safe...... Ben would have known that the thunderbolts were there. As long as it is captured, the subordinate army can only be captured! ”
Although the main general who came back to his senses was frightened, he did not flinch, and if he was defeated just after the battle at this time, he would definitely suffer a catastrophe.
Morale cannot be weakened, and a drop in morale will cause the army to collapse.
When the surrounding lieutenants and soldiers heard this, they instantly came to their senses and immediately rushed towards the hillside in front of them. They screamed. There are also a lot of fire and thunder behind him.
These fire thunders gave them a lot of courage, and their Yingzhou army also began to use fire thunder as an attack weapon.
In other words, the whole world knows about the weapon of fire and thunder. Whether it has obtained the technology of the mountain village or not, it has been independently developed, and the weapon of fire and thunder has long been spread among various armies.
An army without fire and thunder can only be bullied by other armies.
All the Yingzhou soldiers felt that they could take this place as long as they rushed up and threw fire and thunder into the enemy's place.
In the distance, they had even seen the children hiding behind the trenches on the hillside, and the Yingzhou army had a happy look on their faces.
They don't know that the way they are fighting now is exactly positional warfare. As long as the position in front of you is captured, this kind of battle is almost already won.
Just when they were only fifty or sixty meters away from their position on the hillside, suddenly, those children on the hillside took out a long black pipe.
There are five tubes on the long pipe. This is an improved firebolt. Dodge two more rounds. It's also a lot faster to reload.
The moment he saw this black pipe, Yingzhou Jun's eyes showed a sense of horror, this thing they had heard of before, it was the secret weapon of the disciple army.
However, they do not know how powerful it is. However, I heard that this thing is extremely powerful.
Just as they were terrified, the first round of fire from the Sons was fired. The bullets from the hundred firecrackers instantly shot those Yingzhou troops who rushed ahead.
Five rounds of firearms were enough for a hundred men to fire five rounds. The Yingzhou Army, which ran up, was killed by the first batch of Fire Gun Army in the blink of an eye.
After firing five bullets, the first batch of firecrackers hurriedly retreated to rest and reload, and the second batch of firecrackers came out.
Because of the reload, the firecrackers' attacks are divided into rounds. Otherwise, if the firepower can't keep up, the enemy will attack.
In the second round, a hundred musketeers fired five shots, leaving nearly five hundred corpses on the hillside, and the first round of attacks of the Yingzhou army was repulsed.
The battle was only fought here, and the 7,000 troops of the Fourth City lost nearly 1,000, except for the previous rounds of mortar bombardment, the rest were shot by the firecrackers.
The Lord of the Fourth City looked at the corpse in front of him in astonishment, and then looked at the army of children looming on the hillside. There was a deep fear in his eyes.
He only now understood the horror of the Disciple Army, and had always heard that the Disciple Army was unrivaled in combat effectiveness.
They have never encountered each other, so they are very disdainful in their hearts, and even feel that those armies that have been defeated at the hands of the children are too wasteful.
But now, he understands that it's not that people are too wasteful, but that the tactics of the subordinate army are too terrifying. Needless to say, strength.
At this time, the battle loss rate reached nearly 15 percent. Such a battle loss rate is enough to make people panic.
"Withdraw...... Let's retreat first......" Seeing that nothing could be done, the lord who came back to his senses hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare to retreat. The power of the firearms of the children's army is too great.
If they attack again, it is estimated that the casualties will be greater, although they have fire and thunder, they can't throw them up. At a distance of five meters and ten meters, it is still at the bottom of the slope, and if you want to throw fire and thunder into the enemy's position, how powerful can you do it.
