Chapter 990: The Sound of Heavy Artillery Outside the City

Xi Rongpo had to lick his face to cheer up his subordinates, and the commander looked at the wind, which was actually not so easy to do.

"You don't have to have psychological pressure, we have new equipment, just rush this point, and our combat effectiveness can be increased by more than ten times. "This is a bit of an exaggeration, but if Xirong doesn't blow it, if the commander is not optimistic, can you hope that the generals and soldiers below will be optimistic?

Under Xi Rongpo's boasting, strict orders, and deception, he finally unified the thoughts of his generals.

According to the plan, the army of the Yelan King, taking advantage of the darkness to approach Lingtu City, launched a deadly attack on Lingtu City in the middle of the night. Occupy Lingtu City and kill Qin Ning!

Although Xi Rongpo felt that this was unreliable, he could only boost the morale of the army in this way.

The optimism of a commander-in-chief, whether blind or prudent, can always affect the feelings of generals and soldiers. Especially when the 200,000 troops were replaced with new equipment, everyone felt a little confident for a while.

Optimism without restraint is blind self-aggrandizement. Some people even think that if they go on an expedition in such a state, they will really break through Lingtu City and kill Qin Ning.

Originally, against the Shang Qin army, night battles and tough battles were what the Yelan King army was most afraid of, but with the new equipment, coupled with the flickering of Xirong, the soldiers were also optimistic.

When I ran into the Qin army before, wasn't it because of backward equipment?

{Actually, they are all soldiers, and when they are equipped, who will not win the battle?}

With this mentality, the army of the Yelan King has no fear of war, and can do the order and prohibition. According to the order given by Xirongpo, take advantage of the night. An army of 200,000 approached Lingtu City.

I have to say that the Qin army has done a good job of guarding Lingtu City. It itself was the central stronghold of the Qin army in the Abyss Empire. In addition, Emperor Qin Ning stayed here, and the garrison of Lingtu City was on the original basis. Preparations have been strengthened.

Xi Rong Po knew that Lingtu City must be heavily guarded, but he still didn't expect that fifty miles outside Lingtu City, he would encounter a permanent fortification that was built.

The spearhead of the Yelan King's army is an elite squad of fifty people, and their mission is to touch the sentry and kill the Qin army's secret sentry that may be patrolling.

These people also completed the task brilliantly, and successively touched more than a dozen people from the outermost outermost outpost of the Qin army, and they were all killed quietly. But what they didn't expect was this. At such a distance, the Qin army was able to build a permanent fortification that was half hidden underground.

The sentinel suddenly turned into a strong attack, and the soldiers of the Qin army, hiding in the permanent fortifications, saw that their brothers outside were killed, and immediately returned fire with rainstorm pear flower shells. The spearhead troops also immediately formed a formation, using long-range ordnance to shoot at the Qin soldiers in the fortifications.

Relying on the solidity of the defense, the soldiers of the Qin army were not afraid of a large number of enemies surrounding them, and while using communication equipment to contact Shangfeng, they launched a fierce counterattack on the enemy.

The battle was quickly reported to Dao Xirong Po there. This was also expected, and Xirong broke the opportunity to make a quick decision and ordered the destruction of the stronghold with heavy artillery to speed up the pace of advance.

No matter how strong the fortifications are. Unable to survive in front of the heavy artillery, a heavy artillery shell went down, and this stronghold and more than a dozen Qin soldiers inside all flew into the sky.

The army moved on. Considering that there would be more and more strongholds in front of him, Xirong Po simply ordered the vehicle-mounted heavy artillery to follow the small group of spearhead troops. As soon as a stronghold is discovered, it is immediately destroyed with heavy artillery.

Go all the way and pull out the stronghold all the way. The Yelan King's army advanced quickly, and in less than an hour, it advanced a distance of twenty miles.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of heavy artillery in front of him made Xirong Po a little painful.

"What's special, don't you know how to save some use? Do you think you're the Qin army? You're so rich, but you're working hard, the cannonball tube is enough, and when you run out of cannonballs, when you get under the city wall, there is a special time to cry!"

Complaining is complaining, foul language is foul language, Xi Rongpo really can't order everyone not to waste it so much, such an order, the soldiers know that their side is short of ammunition, and the impact on the morale of the army is extremely bad.

Xirong has been in command of the army for many years, and he also knows some of the specific behaviors of the soldiers, and sometimes he is happy, where will he care about anything else? As long as he thinks wildly, this is not bad, but he is afraid that the army will not have fighting spirit, and no one will use a bunch of shells there, and he will run with one mind, and that is the most terrible thing.

This is just a slightly annoying episode, the army of the Yelan King attacked Shun lĂŹ, and when it was close to midnight, they finally attacked the city of Lingtu City.

When the army was assembling and preparing for a general attack, an adjutant general ran in front of Xi Rongpo, bowed down and said: "Marshal, something is wrong, let's attack the outer positions of Lingtu City so vigorously, how can there be no movement in Lingtu City? This doesn't seem to be the style of the Qin army, right?"

Xi Rongpo did not think about this worry, according to the previous combat experience, the Qin army would definitely take advantage of the enemy's foothold to carry out a counterattack. The Qin army would never be afraid of fighting with an opponent at night in close combat, and today's table is indeed a bit strange.

After thinking about it for a while, Xirong Po asked the lieutenant general to leave a reserve of 20,000, and once he found that the situation was not good, he would respond to the retreat of the army. The army of the Yelan King has a lot of very painful cases worth learning from and studying for the retreat. If it is better than retreating, the Qin army may not be the opponent of the Yelan King's army!

In fact, the situation in Lingtu City was that Xi Rongpo overestimated the Qin army.

If it was Mu Xiongtian himself in Lingtu City at this time, the one that Xi Rong Po and the deputy general were worried about might appear, but Qin Ning was here at this time. No matter how muddy Mu Xiongtian was, he didn't dare to make dangerous moves, putting the emperor's safety at risk.

From the first stronghold in Lingtu City to be pulled, Mu Xiongtian received the battle report, and he immediately activated the response mechanism according to the wartime plan. After arranging the various defense work, Mu Xiongtian hesitated.

If the emperor wasn't here, he would definitely pull the team out and see who had eaten the ambition leopard guts and dared to hit Lingtu City with such a bang.

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Xiongtian finally didn't dare to go out with his soldiers, Qin Ning is now the soul of the Qin Army and the Blue Star Empire, and Mu Xiongtian can't explain it if he scratches his skin, thinking about it, Mu Xiongtian hurriedly went to report to Qin Ning, hoping that Qin Ning would preside over the work.

Qin Ning had already received the battle report, and as a commander, Qin Ning certainly had his own views on the shape of the battlefield. But Qin Ning has always believed that no matter how big an official is, even if it is an emperor, he should not interfere in the things he is specifically responsible for. Once it interferes, it will inevitably make his subordinates afraid and ask for instructions on everything.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and when the request is over, don't think about changing anything. As long as there is a military commander, the military commander must be responsible. This is not a shirk of responsibility, but trust in one's own subordinates!

But what Qin Ning didn't expect was that Mu Xiongtian, a military commander who was known for his bravery and didn't want to die in battle, would come to him to report the situation!

"Mu Xiongtian. Did I hear me right? You came to ask me for instructions? Could it be that when you are a big official, you won't command the troops to fight?" Qin Ning didn't give Mu Xiongtian any face, and immediately criticized him after knowing his intentions.

Qiu Wenhe also rushed here when the cannon fired, and when he looked at Mu Xiongtian, he knew the reason why he was afraid. Seeing Qin Ning reprimanding Mu Xiongtian, Qiu Wenhe smiled and said, "Your Majesty, General Mu is also worried about His Majesty's safety, so he will be a little more conservative." Come and ask for your majesty, it's also your trust in your majesty. ”

Qin Ning said with a tiger face: "What do I have to ask for instructions? What do I have to worry about? Mu Xiongtian is a military commander, as long as he fights well, I will naturally be safe, and I will know if there is something to ask for, so what do you want him to do as a military commander?"

After speaking, Qin Ning said sternly to Mu Xiongtian: "Mu Xiongtian, you listen to me, you are the military commander, how to fight the battle, how to arrange the personnel, that's your business, don't bother me with these things! If you use people and need something, you can tell me, if you really need it, you can also use me as a soldier, go out, and return to your post." ”

Mu Xiongtian slipped out a little grayly, and Qiu Wenhe smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you a little too strict with General Mu?" After all, General Mu should consider your safety and respect your opinion. ”

Qin Ning's face softened and said: "Wen He, in fact, how can I be willing to reprimand General Mu? But you have also seen that a fierce general like General Mu is afraid, let alone someone else? If I am a general by my side like this, I, the emperor, will really have a fight with the Mourning Star." I am so strict, just so that Mu Xiongtian has no choice, do his own things, and set an example for other generals!"

"His Majesty. Qiu Wenhe bowed down and said: "Sometimes, as His Majesty said, the official is big, and he really doesn't know what to do." There is some red tape, don't say that you hate it, I can't help myself. There are some things that we can't change with a momentary passion, we have to take our time. ”

Qin Ning frowned, what Qiu Wenhe said was Qin Ning's most head-scratching, even if Kong Sanye and they caused Qin Ning so much trouble, he didn't scratch his head like this. It seems that some conventional things are really crazy to decadence.

On Mu Xiongtian's side, after coming out of Qin Ning, all the anger came out. He wasn't angry with his own people, but he transferred all his anger to the enemy forces who dared to invade Lingtu City.

"Battle report! Battle report! I want to read the latest battle report, who is the opponent? How is the enemy's equipment? Why haven't you sent it to me yet? Grandma's, you will be sent to death when you come to Lingtu City to die, so that Lao Tzu will be given a training, wait, if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you so that your parents can't recognize you, I'm sorry for this training that Lao Tzu received!"
