The country where Li Changfeng lived in his previous life had an extremely splendid civilization, and there were countless classic battle examples in the history books on the art of war.
Although he hasn't read much of it, he still remembers the plots he saw in movies and TV shows.
However, there is one sentence that I forgot where it came from, but I remember it very clearly.
Soldiers are deceitful!
Just five words convey the essence of marching and fighting.
This is the almost unified understanding of all military strategies in the era of cold weapon wars.
but!
With the emergence of thermal weapons, mechanization of the military, and informatization, this existence that was almost regarded as truth no longer applies.
Whoever has the strength to crush everything will be the winner.
Obviously, thermal weapons have the power to crush everything in this era.
So Li Changfeng is not worried at all.
Dingyang City has been continuously supplemented by the Beijing Scientific Research Institute and Baishi City, and the ammunition is very sufficient. In Li Changfeng's view, the barbarians are not a concern at all.
After Li Changfeng had dinner on the city wall, he sent someone to find a deck chair, where he lay on it and looked at the stars and the sea in the night sky.
"What a beautiful starry sky!"
In his previous life, Li Changfeng had never seen such a starry sky since he grew up, except for seeing such a starry sky in his rural hometown when he was a child.
He relaxed and looked at the night sky.
But the barbarian general, Battle, had no such intention.
At this time, he was thirty miles outside Dingyang City, arranging the next plan with a solemn expression.
"Attention! Listen to me clearly. Don't let the evil beasts roar. This will be heard by the damn Dagan people. Let them all be honest!"
"Also, lighting torches is absolutely not allowed. This will allow the Dagan people to discover us. The most important thing is that we may become a living target!"
"Also, tell everyone that if you are hungry, just endure it. Cooking a pot will expose our position. When Dingyang City is captured, I will allow you to burn, kill, and loot for three days!"
Having said this, Bart paused for a moment and reminded him emphatically:
"The people in Daqian don't know what they are using. When the sound of thunder sounds, it will explode into flames and kill a large number of people!"
"So, when it's almost dawn tomorrow, when you launch the attack, you must let the soldiers spread out, so that you can reduce losses as much as possible!"
"Remember, you must spread out!"
I have to say that to be able to become a general in charge of the army, Battelle still has some real talents.
During these days, he carefully analyzed the reasons for the disastrous defeat in the last war, noticed the density and damage range of the artillery, and then ordered everyone to spread out as much as possible.
This can indeed reduce the impact of artillery.
One hundred and fifty artillery pieces are still far from carpet bombing or saturation attack. This strategy is undoubtedly effective.
How terrifying the Daqian artillery is has long been spread among the Southern Barbarian army. No one dared to question Battle's words and strictly implemented his military orders.
Then, the Nanman army quietly moved into the dense forest outside Dingyang City.
When Battle saw several beams of light emitted from Dingyang City from a distance, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
What's this?
How could it emit such light?
Battle had an ominous premonition.
But the order of the barbarian king cannot be violated, and the arrow must be fired when it reaches the string.
He could only tell the troops to sneak carefully and try not to make any noise.
It was already late at night.
On the wall of Dingyang City.
Li Changfeng was already sound asleep, and Zhao Yong held a telescope and, with the help of a searchlight, observed the movements around Dingyang City.
After all, the technology is not yet mature, and the searchlights are not powered by electricity and emit very weak light.
So it was not until the barbarian army and evil beasts arrived in the dense forest five miles outside Dingyang City that Zhao Yong discovered them.
"The enemy has arrived!"
"Sound the alarm!"
"The whole city realm!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
In an instant, a piercing siren sounded, and all the defenders in Dingyang City were awakened. They picked up their weapons and entered a fighting state.
Where are the enemy troops?
Where are the enemy troops?!
The defenders on the city wall looked around blankly.
Wherever you can see, can you see the shadow of an enemy soldier?
Some even wondered if it was a false alarm.
Li Changfeng was also awakened.
No need to ask, the location pointed by the searchlight is where the barbarian army is.
Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he believed in the telescope held by Zhao Yong.
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave the order to Li Jianye, who was also awakened.
"Did you see where the searchlight is pointing? Take aim and shoot him!"
He already understood the strategic intentions of the Nanman army.
However, their plan was about to fail.
Li Jianye didn't ask why, and immediately ordered the ammunition to be loaded and aimed at the dense forest.
In an instant, the entire city wall of Dingyang City was lit up with torches.
Nangong Changming, who was not asleep at all, quickly came to Li Changfeng and asked: "Your Highness, have the Nanman army come over? Why is there no movement at all?"
Li Changfeng said calmly: "You will see it soon."
…
On the other side, Battle, who had just arrived in the dense forest and had not stopped to rest for a while, suddenly panicked when he saw a large number of torches suddenly lighting up on the walls of Dingyang City.
They won't find out, right?
How is this possible!
Even if there is a searchlight, the light is so weak and there is dense forest blocking it. How can it be discovered?
It would be understandable in the clear day and in the daytime, but now it is night, how can human eyesight be so strong?
Did he know that Zhao Yong was carrying the telescope invented by Li Changfeng?
"Don't panic! Just be quiet and don't make any noise!"
"Be prepared to fight at any time!"
Battle issued two orders in succession and looked nervously in the direction of Dingyang City.
On Dingyang City, Li Jianye reported to Li Changfeng: "Commander, the target has been locked, please fire!"
Li Changfeng smiled coldly: "Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sounds like thunder sounded one after another, and fire snakes spurted out, dragging long tail flames, attracting the attention of more than 300,000 horses on both sides.
Battle's expression changed drastically and he screamed again and again.
"Spread out! Quickly spread out!"
"Stay away from the evil beasts, if they go crazy..."
However, before he could finish his words, cannonballs landed around him one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder exploded and fire shot into the sky.
Ground waves surged, gravel broke through the air, and trees fell.
The barbarian army suddenly became a mess, with broken limbs and arms flying everywhere, screams of terror one after another, and frightened evil beasts running around, killing and biting any living thing they encountered.
Battle knew that the army had been discovered by Daqian's army.
How it was discovered is not important now.
The only thing that can be done now is to attack.
He raised the beast control order and pointed sharply in the direction of Dingyang City.
"Kill! Kill for me!"
Battle's expression was distorted and his voice was hoarse.
At the same time, more than five thousand evil beasts also had twisted and ferocious expressions at this moment, and their eyes all turned blood red. While roaring towards Dingyang City, they rushed towards Dingyang City as if they were crazy.
