Chapter 82 Chang'an is surrounded on all sides, and the orcs sacrifice their secret weapons!
"Didn't there be intelligence before that some lords in Gray Water County had defected to Chang'an?"
Rogers still refused to give up, "Can't we think of a way to instigate these lords back and obtain information about Chang'an?"
"This staff department has also tried it."
Mike shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The problem is that Chang'an is very wary of these people. They are still stationed on the west bank of the Gray Water River and have not even been able to enter Chang'an City."
Knowing the communication methods of players, how could Chang'an be unprepared?
"Ridiculous traitor."
Rutgers finally made up his mind to mobilize a special team to take action.
………
March 3rd, cloudy.
At dawn, the main army of 30,000 orcs, combined with the 16,000 Hai tribe army, quietly arrived at Chang'an City under the cover of fog.
The army was divided into four groups.
north.
Eighteen thousand orc warriors, mainly pig-headed men, trolls, and orcs, led by Pig, the pig-headed leader, were stationed about three miles away from the city gate, forming a military formation that stretched for several miles.
Divided into left army, center army and right army.
They were responsible for attacking Gwanghwamun, Gyeongyaomun and Honglimun respectively.
East.
Sixteen thousand Hai clan warriors, led by Naga elder Shaqi, were stationed outside Chunming Gate.
The goal is self-evident.
south.
Ten thousand orc warriors, mainly tigers, tauren, and jackals.
Led by leader Kahn himself, they aimed at the Mingde Gate.
west.
This place has the smallest number of troops, with only two thousand jackals, just serving as a cover and support.
Four armies surrounded the city of Chang'an with water and water.
After setting up positions a few miles away from the city gate, the four armies were not in a hurry to attack the city, but slowly began to make pots and rice, as if they were ready to fight again after they were full and full.
Invisibly.
This brought great pressure to the people in Chang'an City.
But actually.
Starting yesterday afternoon, Chang'an City has been under martial law and a curfew has been implemented at night.
The Lord's Mansion even issued a notice——
During the day on the 3rd, all construction sites in the city stopped and schools were closed.
Factories and kiln areas can continue production as usual because their equipment cannot be stopped, but closed management must also be implemented.
All personnel not related to the war must stay at home or temporary residence and are not allowed to go out without reason.
Otherwise, they will be dealt with by military law.
At the same time, in the past week, the Labor Department has recruited and trained more than 20,000 laborers, who will be assigned to various city gate sections to help the defenders carry stones, rolling logs, arrows and other defensive materials.
When necessary.
He will also be responsible for delivering prepared meals to the city.
Chang'an Hospital also urgently recruited and trained more than 3,000 civilian stretcher teams to form more than 100 field first aid teams, responsible for transporting seriously injured people from the front line to the hospital for treatment, and bandaging the lightly injured on the spot.
Emergency field hospitals were also set up near each city gate.
When the orcs and the Hai Clan army arrived outside Chang'an City, the city defense troops, laborers, stretcher teams, first aid teams, field hospital medical staff, etc. were all already in place.
They stood at their respective posts.
The reorganized garrison division has the simplest task. There are four sides, southeast, northwest, and each side is stationed with a bed crossbow battalion, an elite archer battalion, an elite crossbowman battalion, and an elite spearman battalion.
The coastal defense battalion serves as a reserve force.
At the same time, under the unified control of the commander-in-chief Yue Fei.
The first division's trap brigade guarded the north, and the Longxiang brigade guarded the east;
The second division's Shanshan Brigade guarded the south, and the Kaiping Brigade guarded the west.
The remaining Baotao Brigade of the 1st Division and the Zhenyue Brigade of the 2nd Division serve as reserve forces for the entire army.
The Guards Brigade serves as the firefighting corps.
Even the guard battalions and patrol battalions were included in the reserve sequence. Once the war went unfavorably, they had to obey the call and join the war front line.
at last.
Those are the 5,000 young adults who have completed draft registration but were not included in the first round of military expansion.
At this moment, everyone is gathering at the recruit camp and on standby.
Once the war goes bad, although this possibility is very low, in order to ensure that they can complete the job transfer as soon as possible, pick up the simplest weapons and equipment, and rush to the battlefield.
If necessary…
"There are four armies, and three of them have over 10,000 soldiers. Which one will be the enemy's main siege force?"
In the military intelligence room, Tang Jing was also a little confused.
Although there is the Behemoth Xiao Heizi as an internal agent, the Behemoth is not inseparable from the orc leader Kahn. If there is any major matter, Kahn will discuss it behind closed doors with the goat strategist.
Behemoth can only learn the general movements of the orc army.
Unable to obtain detailed information.
"The orcs are smarter than the sea tribe last time." Qin Shuang also frowned.
The army besieged the city on all sides. Although the troops were dispersed, it actually firmly tied up the defense force of Chang'an City, making it impossible for Chang'an to concentrate all the city's defenders in one direction.
In comparison, the previous Hai Clan's iron-clad attack on the city seemed a bit silly.
At least we should divide our troops to contain them.
"Instruct the Kaiping Brigade to withdraw from the city immediately and turn into a reserve force to be on standby at any time."
General Yue Fei issued the first order.
Every move of the orc army was under the surveillance of Chang'an, which made Yue Fei certain that the enemy had no follow-up reinforcements, so there was no need to worry about what deception the enemy would use to the west.
Directly withdraw the Kaiping Brigade.
There are four battalions of soldiers from the garrison division to the west, enough to monitor the small group of jackals.
For Chang'an.
It's no problem to deal with the orcs alone, the Sea Clan coalition, or the coalition of 100,000 people.
The difficult thing is——
How to deal with these two wars at the same time in a very short period of time?
Take the battle at hand as an example. As the commander-in-chief of Chang'an, Yue Fei not only wants to win, but also wants to "defeat the enemy to the greatest extent in the shortest time with the smallest casualties."
All three are indispensable.
How to command and dispatch will test Yue Fei's talents.
"The Behemoth is placed among the orc army in the south. Could it be that the south is the main direction of attack?" Qin Shuang put forward an idea after summarizing the newly obtained intelligence.
"Won't."
Tang Jing shook his head, "According to the orc tradition, if the Behemoths are to be dispatched to attack a city, they will often starve the Behemoths for a day or two before the war begins, in order to stimulate the Behemoths' desire to fight."
"But now the Behemoth beast is feasting outside the city."
Xiao Heizi ate so much.
"To the south, there is a high probability that it is a feint attack. The presence of the Behemoth is more like a cover."
"Then it's most likely to be the north."
Yue Fei also gave his judgment that the Sea Clan was invited by the orcs to go on an expedition and was unlikely to be responsible for the main offensive mission.
"It should be."
Tang Jing thought so too.
"There is another point worth being vigilant about. If the north is the main direction of attack, and the orcs have not arranged for the Behemoth, what does this mean?"
"Do the orcs have other secret weapons for siege?" Yue Fei's eyes flashed, "And, judging from the situation, the orcs seem to have great confidence in this secret weapon, even surpassing the Behemoth."
The Behemoth is already a powerful symbol of the orcs.
What other secret weapons could there be?
Thinking of this, Yue Fei immediately sent out a Feilian reconnaissance team to conduct a low-altitude search of the orc army to the north. It was necessary to find out what kind of trump cards were hidden in the orc army.
At the same time.
Yue Fei ordered the Guards Brigade led by Bai Chuan to immediately march towards Jingyao Gate.
Always be prepared to reinforce the northern defenders.
Chang'an City is ten kilometers long. Even if the reserves are left around the palace city, if you want to reinforce the city gates in any direction, you need to walk at least five kilometers.
Under heavy load, even a second-level warrior would need about half an hour to advance by running.
In order to facilitate the rapid arrival of reinforcements, the temporary settlement sites along the four main roads of Zhuque Street, Baihu Street, Xuanwu Street and Canglong Street have been forcibly cleared by the patrol battalion.
No unrelated personnel are allowed to stay on the street so as not to interfere with the movement of reinforcements.
Because of digging canals.
The mud, gravel, etc. that were piled up on both sides of the street were also urgently cleared.
………
Temporary headquarters of the Guards Brigade.
After receiving the order, Bai Chuan immediately got on his horse and waved his right hand forward.
"Set off!"
There are two armor-piercing battalions under the Guards Brigade, a Divine Bow Battalion and a Devil Tiger Cavalry Battalion.
Just follow them obediently.
When Bai Chuan first took office, to be honest, these barbaric warriors, whether they were the hot-tempered Chiyou tribesmen or the relatively gentle but arrogant Houyi tribesmen.
None of them were very convinced.
Xu Chu, the former guard camp commander, still has the fourth level of peak strength to dominate the battle. What does Baichuan have?
A girl?
But less than a week had passed, and even the most unruly Demon Tiger Cavalry behaved like a kitten in front of Brigade Commander Bai Chuan.
