Chapter 991: The Tragedy of the City Gate
There are not many generals around Mu Xiongtian, and they have all gone to deal with the emergency military situation, and the rest are almost all staff officers, as well as all kinds of scouts.
Everyone knows that General Mu has a bad temper, but it is the first time that he has seen a cannibalistic appearance like tonight.
Obedient to the meaning of the words, General Mu was trained by the emperor, and no one dared to touch this mold at this time, so they all cautiously moved around and hurriedly went out to find out the information that General Mu needed.
After a while, all kinds of information continued to be gathered.
Outside Lingtu City in the middle of the night was the troops under the command of King Yelan, the leading commander was Xirong Po, and the commander of 200,000 troops came, judging from the scale and formation of the formation, it was to seize Lingtu City by force.
In addition, the 200,000 troops of the enemy, all the soldiers are equipped differently from the enemies they have seen before, they are very well-equipped, and the heavy artillery on display is very strange, fixed on the body, and can be quickly put into new positions.
This information attracted Mu Xiongtian's attention, and he felt that the enemy's situation had changed, and he could not deal with the invading enemy according to his previous experience. In order to obtain first-hand information, Mu Xiongtian immediately led his guards to personally rush to Xicheng, where the enemy was heavily armed.
When he arrived in Xicheng, the guard thought that Mu Xiongtian had come to inspect, and just wanted to report his work, but was stopped by Mu Xiongtian, and he immediately climbed to the top of the city.
As far as the eye could see, the activities of the opposing army could be faintly seen in the darkness. The tiger-striped black armor of the Yelan King's army covered itself well in the night, and Mu Xiongtian saw it as a rough idea.
But this is enough for Mu Xiongtian, who has been fighting horses for many years. Although the eyes don't see very really. But with an instinctive feeling for the battlefield, Mu Xiong God knows. This enemy is very different from the past.
The military looks neat and acts in an orderly manner. They are very skilled in working with each other. If you don't know that the other party is an enemy, at a cursory glance, I'm afraid you will think that it is a certain unit of the Qin army.
Especially the heavy artillery that the other party was urgently arranging, which gave Mu Xiongtian a feeling of trepidation.
This feeling is a valuable lesson learned after countless battles of blood and fire, and it is a kind of judgment of the battlefield between experience and wisdom.
Mu Xiongtian looked at the arrangement of the Qin army around him, and suddenly had a judgment.
"All attention, immediately withdraw to the bunkers, and no one shall remain in the city. Hurry up, hurry, what the hell, didn't you hear Lao Tzu's order?"
A general from the front line always has a big voice, and a small voice can't be a general who charges into battle. Because in a noisy battlefield environment, soldiers who are not loud voices cannot hear the general's orders clearly.
Therefore, generals from the front line, when they command in battle, always have fragments in their mouths. This will make people obey orders faster and better.
This is definitely not a personal insult, but an alternative manifestation of care for subordinates.
The order was conveyed that as long as the soldiers were fast enough, many lives could be saved. From this point of view. Words with bits and pieces in the mouth are also the lingua franca of the battlefield.
Although the guard general of Xicheng didn't know why Mu Xiongtian gave such an order, the soldier's duty was to obey the order, and he hurried over to assist Mu Xiongtian in issuing the order.
Mu Xiongtian saw a small officer dragging ordnance. He was so angry that he scolded: "Are you so deaf? Go down! Don't care about anything, what the hell are you looking for death?"
As soon as this angry curse came out. Everyone hurriedly put down the large ordnance and carried only the ordnance they had with them. Hurriedly and orderly withdrew from the city.
In the end, Mu Xiongtian and the city gate guards were left at the head of the city.
Mu Xiongtian said sharply, "What are you still doing here?"
The guard general was not ambiguous, and said loudly: "What is the marshal doing here? ”
"Lao Tzu is observing the enemy's situation, what are you making a fuss about? Hurry up, don't delay Lao Tzu's observation of the enemy's situation. Mu Xiongtian was unceremonious, even if he was a general, he was right.
Who knew that the Xicheng guard was unequivocal, and immediately responded: "No, the humble lick is the Xicheng guard, if you hurt the handsome here, the humble will not have the face to see the brothers again." ”
"It's against you, don't listen to orders? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you?"
"If the marshal wants to cut, just cut it, anyway, I can't leave the marshal to take risks alone. ”
Before Mu Xiongtian could fire again, he heard the sound of the enemy firing shells. Mu Xiongtian didn't have time to think about it, and immediately went to the ground, and at the same time as he lay down, Mu Xiongtian kicked out and kicked the Xicheng guard to the ground.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Heavy artillery shells exploded on the city walls, and the sound was like thunder. The explosion ruthlessly destroyed the large ordnance, and the flying shrapnel of the rubble rose into the sky, which was not spectacular.
As soon as the Xicheng guards heard this, they knew why Mu Xiongtian would let the soldiers withdraw, but fortunately, it was the commander who was shrewd and relied on his keen judgment to withdraw the Qin soldiers.
Otherwise, the Qin soldiers on the city wall would probably lose half of them in the first few bombardments. He didn't have time to think about it, and flew into Mu Xiongtian's body.
Mu Xiongtian knew that this was his subordinates using their bodies to cover themselves, so he quickly turned him over. Mu Xiongtian felt that the enemy's heavy artillery was not ordinary, but he didn't expect that the power of the opponent's heavy artillery could compete with the power of the Qin army's heavy artillery, and it was so powerful.
I wanted to observe, but now I have to leave the battlefield quickly!
Mu Xiongtian hugged the Xicheng guards tightly, and rolled over to the ladder on the edge of the city wall, and the splashing debris made Mu Xiongtian dare not get up, so he had to hold this brother and roll down the ladder.
Rolling under the city wall, Mu Xiongtian still didn't dare to slack off, so he hugged the Xicheng guard into the bunker, and then threw down the Xicheng guard.
"Boy, it's quite unambiguous, and he knows how to sacrifice his life to protect his boss. In that case, to be able to react like that, well, you're qualified. Hey, what's wrong? Don't play dead with me. ”
Mu Xiongtian felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward to pull the guard, and found that his body was soft, so he quickly checked it, and found that the position of the vest behind him was hit by a big hole in the mouth of a bowl by the flying unknown thing.
Blood gushed out, and those who were already dead could no longer die.
"General!" the soldiers in the bunker stepped forward, shouting desperately, trying to bring their general back to life again, but the general would never be able to open his mouth.
Whoa......
A group of fighters stood up and were about to rush out of cover.
"Stop!" Mu Xiongtian shouted, and his body tower blocked the exit of the bunker, "What are you doing here?"
The angry soldier's eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Of course I went out to avenge the general!"
This voice was recognized by all the fighters, and everyone echoed it, and they must go out to take revenge.
"Be honest with Lao Tzu!" Mu Xiongtian turned his head, quietly wiped the tears that had rolled down, turned his head and said angrily, "Your general has already died, do you want to take the lives of more people? Listen, the explosion outside here, can it be the same as setting off firecrackers?"
When people are most impulsive, it is within a few seconds of the momentum of that impulse.
After listening to Mu Xiongtian's words, the soldiers calmed down one by one, most of them were fighters who were fighting in the fire and blood, who didn't know what the violent explosion outside meant.
In addition, Mu Xiong's prestige was extremely high, and the soldiers were also convinced, so the impulsive atmosphere weakened a lot.
Mu Xiongtian's voice trembled a little: "There is already a brother who has fallen, and he died to cover me. I, Mu Xiongtian, are more eager for revenge than any of you! But revenge is not to go out to die, and I will not pay for my impulses with my own life!"
Speaking of this, Mu Xiongtian paused, he didn't want the soldiers to see his emotional side.
Mu Xiongtian is a lover of personality, and he also has the urge to cry for this kind of life and death parting. But this is the battlefield, as a commander-in-chief, you can only show Xiàn's cold-bloodedness, you can only be an iron man!
Mu Xiongtian glared at his eyes fiercely, this was not anger, but he glared back with tears.
Everyone listened, and as soon as the artillery stopped, they immediately withdrew from their bunkers and retreated to the second line of defense near Xicheng, waiting for orders. ”
Seeing that the soldiers were silent, Mu Xiongtian immediately shouted, "Execute the order!"
With tears in their eyes, the fighters gathered their equipment and waited silently for the shelling to stop.
As soon as the cannon stopped, Mu Xiongtian picked up the corpse of the defender and led the defenders to withdraw to the second line of defense.
Mu Xiongtian's judgment was undoubtedly very correct, the west gate of Lingtu City, together with the city wall, was fully 30 zhang and bombed to the ground, and the enemy was about to follow up with ground troops, and in such a situation, it was impossible to defend it.
Compared with the sadness on Qin Jun's side, Xirongpo's side was extremely excited. In the contest with the Qin army, he has never gained an advantage so quickly. The heavy artillery of the Qin army, the perverted ordnance equipment of the Qin army, will always be a lingering nightmare for the army of the Yelan King.
And now, it seems that this qiē is all about to become history.
Under the blow of super heavy firepower, the wall of the Qin army was also vulnerable, and it blew up such a big opening, which was enough for the ground troops to advance.
Xi Rong Po saw the power of the improved heavy artillery with his own eyes, and his self-confidence couldn't help but burst a little. Thinking that your army has so much improved equipment, perhaps, history will be completely rewritten on this night!
Thinking of this, Xi Rongpo ordered 50,000 forward troops to charge and clear the field, and 100,000 rear troops to follow up, and at the same time ordered the vehicle-mounted heavy artillery battalion to follow, and moved the heavy artillery position to the position of the city wall to stop, so as to strike at the deep targets of Lingtu City.
There was no problem with Xi Rongpo's command, but what he didn't expect was that the movement and march of his large army, as well as the various steps of the overall army's advancement, were all stared at by a pair of blood-red eyes. (To be continued......) R1071
