461 Ruijian Camp
……
On the third day of the first month of March, the battlefield of Lucheng.
The 180,000-strong army dragged the narrow front for an incomparably long time, and they had only one goal.
Conquer the city!
However, even with such a powerful force, Zhang Gui never had any joy on his face, and instead he was confused about the future.
"General Zhang, everything is ready, please give the order!" Adjutant General Gurtai came to report.
Zhang Gui held the order flag in his hand, but he didn't raise and wave it for a long time, and his mind kept thinking about any kind of accident that might be overlooked.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "Order the sentry to investigate again!" ”
Gurtai was stunned: "General Zhang, from last night to this morning, I have inspected the enemy camp more than ten times......
"Probe!"
Zhang Gui's words were undoubted, even if he knew that this attack would pay a heavy price, he still tried everything to minimize the loss.
"Yes!"
Gurtai had no choice but to take the order and leave.
And at the same time, in the direction of Lucheng.
Knowing that the main force of the Jin army was exhausted, Yue Shaomu already understood that Lu Ziming had cut off the Cao Yun in the south and successfully joined the navy, and his heart was naturally settled.
At this time, the victory or defeat is no longer important, Yue Shaomu with a very small number of troops to contain the main force of the Jin army, the southern river grain transportation road is lost, the Jin Guojing division is bound to be in chaos, the Jin army is already at the end of the crossbow, and his plan to be the bait has been successfully completed.
But before that, there is one more thing to do.
"Have the people of Lucheng been evacuated?"
When Sun Zhong heard this, his face suddenly turned grim: "General Qibing Yue, the people of Lucheng said that they would live and die with the general, and they swore to die and did not want to leave. ”
Yue Shaomu frowned: "Nonsense!" The Jin soldiers are brutal, and after the city is broken, they will inevitably slaughter the people to vent their anger, and they have only one way to die if they stay here! ”
Sun Zhong: "General, I have said everything that should be said, but the people say that since their lives, they have never seen such a benevolent and righteous teacher, and they are willing to back up my righteous teacher and resist the strong enemy together." ”
Yue Shaomu's heart was sour: "In this war, we are foreign teachers, and I don't want to be trusted by the people, it's really ridiculous to think about it." ”
Sun Zhong: "General, this shows that we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, so we ......"
Yue Shaomu stopped him from continuing: "Okay, take me to meet the people, no matter what, let them leave Lucheng, staying here will only be a dead end." ”
……
"General, we're not leaving! Death is not leaving! ”
"Needless to say, general, you treat us well, we all remember it in our hearts, not to mention that this is our home, how can we let those gold thieves occupy it!"
"General, you don't care about us, just rest assured that we will fight! We don't have other skills, cooking and laundry are still rough jobs! ”
Yue Shaomu persuaded the people, but the people of the whole city were reluctant to leave, and they all supported Yue Shaomu to start a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers.
Yue Shaomu sighed lightly, it was useless to let him persuade him, so he could only retreat and say: "Thanks to the care of your neighbors, our Han army can confront the Jin soldiers for so long.
Since everyone is unwilling to leave, the general will no longer persuade him, but I only have one request, if I am defeated and die in this battle, please don't be the enemy of the Jin soldiers.
They only ask for money, and they want to save their own lives, is it okay? ”
The people were silent for a long time before someone nodded in response.
"Woo~~"
At that moment, a dull trumpet sounded.
The Jin soldiers finally attacked.
Yue Shaomu hugged his fists and said, "Everyone, this general will go first, take care!" ”
"General Yue, take care!"
"General Yue, take care!"
"General Yue, take care!"
The people knelt on the ground and watched Yue Shaomu leave the city.
……
"Hurry, hurry!"
In the southern border, after Gan Ziba took over the source of Caoyun and shipping, Lu Ziming immediately led his troops north.
In the continuous urging, it was only three or five days away from Lucheng at this time.
"Damn, it's still too slow, in case General Yue has a good one!"
Xu Sheng said with some uneasiness.
Lu Ziming: "Enough, say a few words, or think of a way, how can you speed up your journey?" ”
Zhu Heng: "It seems that there is only one way, attack the nearby stables, seize the horse and gallop!" ”
Lu Ziming: "Okay, quickly order someone to investigate if there are stables around, and the rest of the soldiers will rest for half an hour before they hurry!" ”
……
"Drink~"
"Drink~"
"Drink~"
On the battlefield of Lucheng, five thousand armored pioneers held heavy square shields, shouted loud slogans, and scattered left and right in battle formations, approaching the Han defense line step by step.
Yue Shaomu used a speculum to pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and soon sensed their intentions.
"The enemy is planning to attack, first with armor to approach, and then the whole army will follow, and when they enter the designated area, they will rush up and break through our defense line."
Putting away the speculum, Yue Shaomu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then his face became more and more serious.
"Such a frontal assault, although our army is under great pressure, but ......"
He snapped his eyes open.
"Zhang Gui overlooked one thing."
The vanguard of the 5,000 gold soldiers had already stepped into the range of 300 paces, which was the longest range of the musket gun.
"First in line!"
Beep~
On boarding, the first column of 200 musketeers stepped forward, stood behind the barbed wire, and aimed their muskets at the enemy formation opposite.
The five thousand pioneers were still advancing, and every soldier had a look of determination on his face.
They knew they might die in this battle, but they had no fear.
Because, they are the most elite troops of Daikin.
Camp Sharp!
It's an honor of its own!
"Ha~"
Seeing that the Han army had not yet sent a counterattack, the first Jin soldier officer immediately sighed and shouted loudly.
"The whole army picks up the pace and approaches the enemy position!"
Behind him, five thousand archers followed with bowed bodies, just waiting to come into effective range.
"Put!"
A sharp copper whistle echoed in the Han army's array.
The next moment.
"Bang bang bang-"
A barrage of flames stuck out their tongues, and two hundred mini bullets whizzed towards the enemy.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk—"
Due to the distance, this round of salvo had little effect, and the Pioneer Shield of the Ruijian Battalion was a piece of sawdust, with a few metal collisions, and no one was seen falling.
The soldiers of the Ruijian Battalion gritted their teeth, and after confirming that they were still alive, they continued to move forward.
But the next moment......
"Whoa—"
A piercing, sharp sound echoed.
Hundreds of rockets suddenly burst out in front of the Han army, smashing them overwhelmingly towards the Ruijian camp.
The moment it landed, it exploded.
In an instant, the originally neat lineup was immediately torn apart.
Patches of heavy infantry were immediately lifted up by the scorching wave of air the moment the gunpowder exploded.
Many soldiers didn't even have time to snort, and their bodies were directly blown apart by the rocket.
This time the rocket was wrapped in a high explosive - picric acid.
Witnessing the explosion of the Jin Army's front, Yue Shaomu's face was unusually calm.
"You underestimated the armament of the Han army!"
The rockets fell one after another, and the five thousand pioneers suffered heavy casualties.
The shields in their hands and the armor on their bodies could not resist the ravages of technological monsters.
